Abstract
In 1917 Cano, Townsend and Valentine1suggested direct medication of the infected prostate gland by perineal injection of a methyl phenol and a normal phenol serum. The method was not widely adopted and scarcely any mention was made regarding this procedure until the recent publications by Grant.2McCarthy3in 1935 recommended direct intraprostatic injection through the panendoscope. Townsend4in 1936 reported further observations on intraprostatic injections. Chronic prostatitis is a very frequent clinical condition which too often resists intelligent and diligent prolonged treatment. Any method, therefore, that can safely be applied to hasten the cure or shorten the course of this common ailment deserves careful consideration. Grant2has injected from 10 to 20 cc. of 1n per cent aqueous solution of mercurochrome directly into the lobes of the prostate gland through a needle inserted perineally in more than 400 instances. He reports almost universal ameliorationKeywords
