Unfortunately, toxic effects of varying degrees of severity have hindered wider employment of chrysotherapy and have often forced its discontinuance upon the appearance of the early signs of toxicity. The many types of toxic reactions resulting from chrysotherapy in rheumatoid arthritis will not be enumerated here since this subject has been discussed elsewhere.1There has been a long felt need for some agent to counteract the toxic effects of gold therapy. Although various measures have...Bibliography1. MARGOLIS HM: Diagnosis and treatment of arthritis and allied disorders, 1941, Paul B. Hoeber, New York.
