Premature dissemination of unreliable information to patients and their relatives can do serious harm if it serves to discourage acceptance of effective conventional treatment, including sanatorium care and collapse therapy. It appears presently important to provide in one article, in a widely circulated medical journal, up-to-date, authentic information on chemotherapy of tuberculosis.
