Abstract
At the clinic last week I showed you this patient when he exhibited most fully the physical signs and symptoms of croupous pneumonia. He had then been ill five days and was suffering from a moderately severe attack of the disease. The lesion was limited to the lower lobe of the right lung. At that time I hazarded the prophecy that unless an extension of inflammation occurred he would be likely to pass the crisis of his illness either on the night of the day that you saw him or within the two following days. I also pointed out to you the treatment that was usual in such cases and particularly called attention to the fact that in this case I was trying in addition to the ordinary routine treatment of pueumonia nucleinic acid. I made no comment at the last clinic upon the mode of action of nucleinic acid
