In hay fever, success is rendered more certain if, after spraying the nose, throat, and larynx thoroughly with the above-mentioned preparation, a small amount of a four-per-cent. solution of cocain be employed, also in the form of a spray. Typhoid Fever.--The action of yeast nucleinic acid on fermentation in the small intestine induced me to try this agent in typhoid fever. I have had no opportunity to use it in any extensive epidemic of this disease. Dr. Harkin2 of Marquette, Mich., has reported very favorably upon his results with the oneper-cent. solution in an epidemic of typhoid fever at that place. I have used it only in sporadic cases, and as these vary so widely in their clinical history I am not prepared to draw any conclusions from my experience. I think, however, that it is worthy of more extensive trial and would recommend for this purpose drachm doses of the five-per-cent. solution every two to four hours by the mouth. In Cancer.--I have tried nucleinic acid in three cases of carcinoma of the breast. All of these had been submitted to operation, the cancer had returned, and the cases were inoperable. The treatment was, therefore, employed as a last resort. Injections were made into the healthy tissue around the growth. There was no evidence of beneficial action in any of these.
