Abstract

The authors describe their clinical experience in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with cortisone. Several dosage schedules were used in an attempt to produce more lasting benefits from this powerful and dramatic agent. Encouraging results with combined cortisone and gold salts are recorded. Case histories are given illustrating the value of cortisone as an aid toward the rehabilitation of the seriously crippled arthritic patient.
