The principle of action of these substances differs in many respects from customary therapeutic agents. Moreover, the basic mechanism provides a versatility, the potentialities of which have only begun to be tapped. Although they can hardly be viewed, at this time, as having achieved an established place in the therapeutic armamentarium, a brief survey of recent studies with ion exchange resins will serve not only to elucidate their mode of action,...1 Way JT: On the power of soils to absorb manure, J.
