It is generally known that an an: septic that will kill one kind of living matter will kill other Kkinds, also, anything that will destroy a germ will usually destroy also to some ex- tent the human cells that are the breeding place for that germ.

Then it was found possible to make combinations of such dyes with drug substances llke mercury and to have the dye substance carry along the drug in its action on the germ. Ex- periments were made using such com- binations in the treatment of wounds and in the treatment of infections of the nose and other passages that could be got at externally. The most recent extension of the method has been to inject these dyes and dyve combinations directly into the blood through a vei in order‘to treat infections or abscesses inside the body, as for example those I calized around a kidney, in the blad- der, or even spread throughout the | body with bacteria circulating in the | blood. \ Here the results reported are! extraordinarily encouraging, although herc also they are in an experimental stage.
