Abstract
Three women with typical scleroderma and one woman with changes resembling both rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma were each treated with a brand of relaxin four times a day intramuscularly for 2 to 4 weeks. In the dosage used (20 mg.), this form of therapy was without value, despite its cost ([pound sterling]10 per day).Keywords
