Abstract

The drug caused healing of local lesions in all five cases that was comparable to the favorable effect usually obtained with arsenical drugs. In 3 darkfield positive cases the drug caused prompt disappearance of the surface organisms. It is felt that further experimental trial of penicillin is indicated in this disease.Keywords
