    INTRAVENOUS DOSES. The following are results of our experience, or have been collected from various authentic sources. In general, intravenous injections call for great care, The dose must be small, freely diluted, in isotonic solution and slowly injected. The therapy in respect of some of the chemicals is entirely new and we should welcome suggestions from clinicians to extend the information given. Statements in some Medical Journals—especially foreign—as to the amounts of chemicals employed intravenously have sometimes amazed us. We have proceeded on the side of caution in giving limit doses. We strongly recommend trying \ or even i doses at first, freely diluted, where the method of treatment is new. CHEMICAL. AMOUNT. YOL. OF DILUENT. Acaciae Gummi Acriflavine Adrenalin..
