Introduction by Dr. Chapman Chen:
According to Chapter XI of Dr. Charles H. Duncan’s (1918) famous medical book, Autotherapy, urine is an effective autotherapeutic remedy, especially good for treating urinary diseases like painful urination, nocturnal enuresis, cystitis, tenesmus, glycosuria, diabetes, Bright’s Disease, gonorrhea, neuralgia, indigestion…. In the New York Medical Journal of December 14 and 21, 1912, and in the Therapeutic Record of January, 1914, the writer reported that he was employing urine successfully in the treatment of many conditions. This is the first mention made in modern medical literature of urine being employed successfully in the treatment of disease; since then it has been employed successfully both by the writer and many other physicians in treating patients suffering with a great variety of pathogenic conditions.
The principle concerned, as explicated by Dr. Duncan, is as follows: Nature often cures where so-called science utterly fails. Hippocrates recognized Nature as the Great Healer. “Nature tends to restore the tissues,” is a medical axiom or truism that has been accepted since Hippocrates gave his “Expectant Treatment.” Also, as another old medical axiom goes, “Disease carries with it its own cure.” Nature has foreordained that the patient should be immunized to his own unmodified toxin-complex or toxins and toxic tissue substances elaborated within his own body by the action of the infectious agents upon the body tissues, and as found, for example, in the patient’s urine, pus, sputum, serum, etc.
In other words, there are in the pathogenic exudates toxic substances to which the patient must develop resistance in order that a cure may be instituted. In autotherapy the patient has the right toxic substances within his body and it remains for the physician to find it and determine the proper dose and the interval between doses so that the local tissues may develop resistance to them.
Now, as pointed by Dr. Duncan, there is scarcely a pathogenic condition which does not affect the urine contents. Many pathogenic conditions which give rise to an excess of uric acid, calcium oxalates, sodium urates, etc., are quickly cured by the therapeutic employment of urine alone.
CHAPTER XI
URINE AS AN AUTOTHERAPEUTIC REMEDY
* Wood says, ” Dysuria, or painful urination is one of the symptoms of disease most frequently met with in general practice, and because of the fact that the disease is located in or about the bladder, or urethral mucous membrane, it is impossible to utilize the principle in its treatment of physiologi-
cal rest. Its pathogenic significance as far as the gross lesions are concerned may be slight, but its clinical importance must not be lost sight of. I know of no symptoms which will more quickly undermine the health of either man or woman, than a bladder irritation, sufficiently great to give rise to a frequent desire to empty the organ with coincident tenesmus.”
In this discussion we are dealing not with adventitious growths

Wood, M.D.

as cancer, polypi fungoid growths, etc., nor with those conditions requiring surgical measures. Primarily we are dealing with conditions due either directly or indirectly to bacterial infections. There are conditions difficult to trace to bacterial origin that respond promptly to Autotherapy.
One of the strong indications for the use of urine as a
remedy, is frequent urging accompanied with burning and
tenesmus. These are not the only symptoms, however, that call
for urine as a therapeutic agent, for it has been found fre-
quently useful in conditions that are not associated with pain
and discomforts, namely, as nocturnal enuresis. There is also
another symptom where urine may frequently be found to be
useful; even though urine alone may not always be able to
cure the patient, and that is in hematuria.
In giving urine as a remedy we should be guided as to single
and repeated doses by the needs or requirements of the
patient; there are no set rules governing all conditions
we are called upon to treat. However, there are general
rules that are more or less difficult for the beginner to
understand and use properly which become useful in the
hands of the prescriber, as he accustoms himself to examining
the patient from the autotherapeutic point of view. It may
be generally stated that acute conditions require a larger
dose than chronic conditions. While this in the main holds
true for adults, yet there are exceptions to the rule. Dr.
Deachman’s patient obviously was suffering with a chronic
condition and as such required exceedingly small doses. Many
patients treated by the writer with the dilution of urine were
cured when apparently nothing else would cure them.
There are in the pathogenic exudates toxic substances
to which the patient must develop resistance in order that a
cure may be instituted. In other words, in Autotherapy the
patient has the right toxic substances within his body and it
URINE AS AN AUTOTHERAPEUTIC REMEDY 261
remains for the physician to find it and determine the proper
dose and the interval between doses so that the local tissues
may develop resistance to them.
In giving the autotherapeutic remedy it is not the power of
the remedy per se that is increased or decreased by dilution;
it is the responsive power of the patient that determines
whether the dose be given in a we’ak or concentrated form.
The further we get away from the dose and study the
individuality of the patient the better will be our position to
treat the patient successfully, for there is no standard dose
any more than there is a standard individual. There is no
dose or potency that has maximum efficiency but the one which
the individual requires.
In conditions where the causative microorganisms can be
obtained readily there are no objections to using the opsonic
index as a guide if the physician so desires, but many authori-
ties now believe that this is usually unnecessary, for with a
skilled appreciation of the nature of the infection and the
response of the individual, the dose can usually be selected
with sufficient accuracy to meet the requirements of the patient.
The opsonic index is not as accurate a guide in marking the
interval between doses as was formerly supposed. There are
usually more than one pathogenic microorganism in the locus
of infection that must be taken into consideration in treating
the patient. The opsonic index repeated for each microorgan-
ism is obviously opening the door for complications which
are far beyond the average clinician, if not the average labora-
tory facilities.
It is difficult at the present time to state how far the auto-
therapeutic treatment of diseases may extend, for many con-
ditions apparently requiring operative treatment have been
materially benefited when urine as a remedy was properly
employed.
262 AUTOTHERAPY
There is scarcely a pathogenic condition which does not
affect the urine contents. Our gross chemical and micro-
scopical analyses do not interpret the finer delicate shadings
nor differentiations that arise. It may be said that urine is
like a weather vane, sensitively registering any change in the
patient’s condition, be it great or small. Many pathogenic
conditions which give rise to an excess of uric acid, calcium
oxalates, sodium urates, etc., are quickly cured by the
therapeutic employment of urine alone. Whether it will
tend to cure all pathogenic conditions that cause an excess of these
substances in urine, is more or less in the nature of conjecture
at present but it is significant, indeed, when Clark’s Materia
Medica gives many conditions in which uric acid and urea have
been proved to be therapeutically effective. In the New York
Medical Journal of December 14 and 21, 1912, and in the
Therapeutic Record of January, 1914, the writer reported
that he was employing urine successfully in the treatment of
many conditions. This is the first mention made in modern
medical literature of urine being employed successfully in the
treatment of disease; since then it has been employed success-
fully both by the writer and many other physicians in treating
patients suffering with a great variety of pathogenic conditions.
Crockett in the Medical Record cites three cases of bladder
and prostatic troubles that were cured by autotherapeutically
employing urine alone — a complete substantiation of the writ-
er’s previous work.
Many symptoms apparently of the bladder are but reflex
symptoms from the kidneys. Where tuberculosis of the kidney
is suspected, the sediment, collected by centrifugalization,
should be diluted and allowed to stand and filtered in the usual
manner, and the filtrate employed. The filtered urine of crther
conditions may at times also be employed, diluted or not, to
suit the needs of the patient.
URINE AS AN AUTOTHERAPEUTIC REMEDY 263
Case 190. The writer reports the following cases:
Patient, male, age 30 years, applied for treatment for cystitis
膀胱炎that developed after a long drive in the rain. At night he had
to void every hour or two. There was burning tenesmus （裏急後重）
and almost constant desire. A teaspoonful of early morning urine
one-half hour before meals completely cleared up the case
within two days.
Case 191. Patient, Hebrew, travelling salesman, age 38
years, had gonorrhea three months previous while travelling.
He consulted various physicians who succeeded in stopping the
discharge, but there were many threads or tripperfaden re-
maining and he held his urine with difficulty. He had had no
sexual desire since his infection. He was placed on sediment
of urine one part, alcohol two parts, colored with cocoa, with
instructions to take a teaspoonful three times a day before
meals. In four days’ time the strings in the urine were very
few. In two weeks’ time he said he was well, as his sexual
desire had returned. There were, however, still a few (very
few) threads.
Case 192. Patient, female, age 46 years, passing through the
climacteric developed a severe cystitis with tenesmus and con-
stant urging, etc. She passed only a small quantity at a time.
There was no evidence or suspicion of gonorrhea. Her urine
was filtered through a Berkefeld filter and five minims of the
filtrate injected subcutaneously. This relieved all symptoms
within twenty-four hours. She was given two subsequent
injections four days apart; there has been no return now over
six months.
Case 193. Patient, male, age 23 years. During his second
week of gonorrhea while under treatment developed an acute
cystitis. The condition had persisted for about three days. A
teaspoonful of his early morning urine three times a day be-
fore meals allayed the inflammation within twenty-four hours.
Case 194. Patient, male, age 36 years, stationary engineer,
has been healthy all his life. Two months ago he began to
have serious domestic and family troubles. Since then on the
occasion of great mental excitement, moisture and oozing from
the penis was noticeable. The discharge was clear. There was
no burning, nor was there a history of gonorrhea. He was
given a bottle containing an equal part of sediment of urine
264 AUTOTHERAPY
(pipetted after twelve hours’ standing) and 95 per cent, alco-
hol colored with cocoa, with instructions to take a teaspoonful
three times a day. In three days the discharge ceased. He said
he felt stronger, and more vigorous generally, and particularly
in the genito-urinary organs.
Case 195. Patient, male, age 54 years, applied for treatment
suffering with urinary troubles which he described as follows:
Very uncomfortable when holding his urine for more than
two or three hours. Gets up two and three times at night, and
has constantly an uneasy feeling in the bladder, and troubled
dreams. He noticed five years ago that his sexual powers were
waning. When he applied for treatment, copulation took place
at from two to four weeks’ intervals, or more infrequently.
An analysis of his urine showed there was a trace of indican
and large deposits of sodium urates. After two hours’ stand-
ing the sediment in the beaker measured about one- fourth by
volume. It was thick and muddy in appearance. Specific
gravity 1018. There were some pus cells, and very few
squamous epithelia, no albumin or sugar. The prostate was
enlarged and very sensitive. Treatment: — He was instructed
to bring into the office a sample of his early morning urine.
This was centrifugalized and the sediment from four such
centrifugalizations washed with normal saline and again cen-
trifugalized. The sediment was now collected and mixed with
an ounce of distilled water and allowed to stand for twelve
hours after which time it was filtered through a Berkefeld filter
and ten minims injected subcutaneously over the biceps mus-
cle. Within twenty-four hours the cutaneous reaction was 8
inches in diameter. There was no appreciable constitutional
reaction. The cutaneous reaction was at its height within
forty-eight hours when it began to recede. The bladder and
prostate irritation became less. Eight days later he was given
another injection in the other arm — same reaction took place.
After this injection his symptoms cleared up and now he is
apparently normal, having sexual relations regularly.
Case 196. Dr. F. W. Sumner, British Surgeon of Saharan-
pore, India, reported in the Indian Medical Gazette, of Novem-
ber, 1914, in an article under the title of ” Prevention and
Treatment of Septic Wounds in Warfare,” the following case
cured by Autotherapy :
URINE AS AN AUTOTHERAPEUTIC REMEDY 265
“European, developed acute cystitis with a temperature of
102° F. daily, with most painful and frequent strangury. The
urine was acid and contained bacilli coli ; there was no urethral
discharge or history of gonorrhea. Four days’ treatment with
cystopurin, etc., caused no amelioration of the symptoms. I
then centrifugalized his urine and collected the sediment from
several such centrifugalized tubes, added saline and shook the
tube well, again centrifugalized, decanted the supernatant
fluid, took six minims of the sediment, added an ounce of
saline (the writer prefers distilled water) stood it for twenty-
four hours, occasionally agitating it, and injected 20 minims
of the filtrate subcutaneously. Considerable reaction both local
and general followed, but the pain and strangury ceased at once,
as if by magic. He then made an uneventful recovery; one
injection only was given ; the temperature came down by lysis ;
it lasted ten days from the commencement of the illness.”
Dr. Sumner stated further in commenting on the use of Auto-
therapy : ” It is to be noted that pure unadulterated toxins
germ-free are thus injected, and the results are incomparable
with those of vaccine treatment.”
Case 197. Patient, Dr. Clifford M. Pardee, applied for
treatment, suffering with most severe tenesmus and constant
urging. He suffered intensely with paroxysms of pain. This
condition had prevailed for several months. As he had failed
to improve under the usual treatment, he decided to see what
Autotherapy could do for him. As he had been taking some
anodynes, he was instructed to take no medicines for five days
and then to bring in a specimen after a water-free diet for
twenty-four’ hours. The sediments from three centrifugaliza-
tions were collected. This was washed in an ounce of saline
solution, and again centrifugalized and the sediment placed
in an ounce of distilled water, and allowed to stand for
twelve hours with occasional agitation; after which time it was
filtered through a Berkefeld filter. It was then ready for use —
5 minims the subcutaneous dose. The doctor, however, decided
he could not wait for the injection and began to take per os a
drachm of urine in the following manner. He collected urine
in four four-ounce graduates. After a few hours he pipetted
off a drachm of sediment and took this. When seen in five
days he was decidedly improved. The paroxysms were not so
266 AUTOTHERAPY
frequent nor nearly so severe. An X-ray examination was
then made that revealed two large calculi attached to the pos-
terior wall of the bladder. This case is given to illustrate how
Autotherapy will relieve the inflammation even though the con-
dition is not cured by its use.
Case 198. Patient, male, age 50 years, applied for treatment
suffering with inflammation of the bladder and prostate; this
had been gradually developing after staying in bed for almost
a year as the result of a fracture of both bones of both legs.
Upon rising from a sitting posture it was necessary to void
urine within a minute. He had to get up at night five and six
times. There was burning and tenesmus and constant desire
when on his feet. There was no sugar or albumin but a large
excess of indican and colon bacilli and an excess of uric acid.
The usual remedies for such conditions gave little or no relief.
It was then decided to treat him autotherapeutically. He was
instructed to take a drachm of early morning urine a half
hour before each meal. Within twenty-four hours his im-
proved condition was so marked that he became alarmed think-
ing recovery was too quick, and stopped medication. The pain
and tenesmus returned; he continued the treatment and im-
proved greatly. X-ray revealed three calcerous deposits
(phleboliths) in the veins on each side of the bladder wall.
He gradually improved and after five months his rest at night
was not broken till five in the morning. The old urging has
all but disappeared; he is apparently in good health; not well,
but vastly improved.
Case 199. Patient, male, age 56 years, a high liver. As a
morning-after penitent, he suffers with an irritable bladder
manifested by burning and frequent micturition. It usually
took a week to recover from these drinking bouts, and then he
is compelled to stop drinking beer or other alcoholic beverages.
Now whenever this condition prevails, he takes a teaspoonful
of urine upon rising and once or twice during the day
and is benefited within twenty-four hours. At the present
time he is not always troubled with morning bladder irritation
after drinking heavily the night before.
Case 200. Professor Robert W. ElHs, D.V.S., editor of the
American Veterinary Reviezv, reports the following case cured
by employing urine alone:
URINE AS AN AUTOTHERAPEUTIC REMEDY 267
” Patient, a high-bred Boston bull dog, 10 months old, suf-
fering with a constant desire to void urine. There was loss
of appetite, and he was emaciated. Urine came in drops and
with great difficulty. Having had such extellent results in the
autotherapeutic treatment of animals suffering with many other
infectious diseases, he decided to make a test in this case to see
if urine as a therapeutic agent would have any effect. Accord-
ingly he catheterized the animal and obtained about two ounces.
With a long-nozzled syringe he placed this down the animal’s
throat; improvement was immediate and continuous. The
next morning he began normally to void urine; his appetite
improved and he has not had a sick day since, now over two
years. When accidentally seen six months after the treatment,
he did not know the animal, for at this time he was strong,
muscular and extremely active. But a single dose was given.”
Our best information concerning the therapeutic value of
many biological agents comes from animal experimentation.
The animal doctors have the advantage of us in that they can
be more free in the application of tests.
A leading veterinarian recently remarked that if he was com-
pelled to give up all else in medicine or Autotherapy he would
give up medicine and be more successful in treating animals
suffering with infectious diseases.
Case 201. Dr. T. Wilson Deachman, of Chicago, reports
the following two cases :
Patient, Mrs. B., age 39 years. Fourteen months ago she
began to suffer frequent micturition, neuralgia, extreme nerv-
ousness and indigestion. Urinary analysis was as follows:
Volume in twenty-four hours, 33 ounces. Day urine, 14
ounces. Night urine, 19 ounces. Specific gravity 1012. Re-
action acid. Total solids, 50 grains. Albumin, 1.47 per
cent. Microscopical findings, many renal cells. Squamous
epithelial pus cells. She was compelled to void five or
six times every night and was in a very depressed mental
condition. I put her on a rigid diet and gave her the usual
accepted remedies. She seemed to occasionally improve but
268 AUTOTHERAPY
this was not lasting. I then gave the patient urine according
to Dr. Charles H. Duncan’s autotherapeutic treatment. The
result was magical, the improvement very rapid following the
first dose. The reSult following the second dose was what
was least desired or expected. She failed to improve and be-
came temporarily worse. I then reduced the dose by triturat-
ing the dose with sugar of milk; following this she became
so much worse I was afraid she would go to another physician.
I then placed her on sugar of milk tablets for about three
weeks. After this I gave the ickx) c.c. dilution of urine run
up by our local pharmacy. She then began to steadily improve
with the results that she presented in a very short time, the
very picture of health — with urine specific gravity 1018 —
normal in amount and color. She sleeps well the whole night
through and has no urinary symptoms. She has continued
to remain well now over six months.
Case 202. ” Patient, male, age 49, was extremely nervous
and irritable; he had wandering pains all over his body, head-
ache and general lassitude. He complained of a great deal
of pain in the lumbar regions and in the abdomen over the
sigmoid flexure. The bowels regular but there was an ex-
ceedingly bad odor to the stools. He improved on nothing
that I gave him. He had taken massage, osteopathic treatment
and drank gallons of medicine at the hands of other doctors
with no avail. The urine was a pale yellow, specific gravity
1020 to 1030, acidity 60 and up, passage in twenty-four hours,
20 to 25 ounces. Microscopic examination showed red blood
cells, pus cells, renal cells and abundance of calcium oxalate
crystals. The treatment consisted of a twenty minim injec-
tion of the urine diluted i to 100 with distilled water. He
improved with this to a certain point but did not entirely
recover until I used the higher attenuations, under these he
made a prompt recovery. Two months after he was dis-
charged, another analysis showed acidity 39, specific gravity
1020, absence of pus and renal cells, and volume of urine
1500 c.c. in twenty-four hours.”
Continuing, Dr. Deachman says : ” These are but few of the
many cases I have successfully treated by your method, the
URINE AS AN AUTOTHERAPEUTIC REMEDY 269
value of which I consider inestimable. I make this statement
after a wide experience in treating many patients suffering
with chronic diseases and particularly in the use of urine as
an autotherapeutic agent. I am free to say that the results
obtained are out of all proportion to the usual recognized
methods.”
Diabetes
Case 203. The following abstract waS republished in the
New Albany Medical Herald, February, 1915, (C. G. Moore)
from the Archives of Pediatrics:
” I find diabetes mellitus an uncommonly difficult disease
for the general practitioner to treat. April 14, 1912, I was
called to see a little seven-year-old girl. They gave me a his-
tory of her having felt badly for a few days and of having had
some fever. On examining the child I found her to have a
temperature of 102° F., but all my other findings were nega-
tive. I called the next day, and found nothing present out-
side of the temperature, which was just the same as the day
previous. In a couple of days they informed me her tempera-
ture was normal and she was feeling all right, but she was
passing a large amount of urine frequently and it left a sticky
spot on the sheet. I advised a strict diet but the parents re-
fused to adhere to it. Having tried all methods of treatment
on several other patients whom I have had within the past
few months suffering with glycosuria, I decided to try Auto-
therapy, for I had known cases of icterus which had failed to
respond to any medical treatment, but cleared up in a very
short time when they were given their own urine to drink. I
gave this little girl three ounces of her own urine three times
daily (first masking taste and color) and then examined for
the sugar percentage and found that when she was taking the
urine, the percentage of sugar dropped, and that when it was
withdrawn, the percentage increased. I could also see some
improvement in her general condition. She did not urinate
so often or so much; did not drink so much water; her skin
was more moist, and she was not so nervous. She finally sick-
ened of the urine and her parents did not continue the treat-
270 AUTOTHERAPY
ment; since then she has been growing worse. The urine at
the present time containing 15 per cent, sugar with traces of
acetone.”
The comment the writer would make on this case is as
follows :
First, the dose was too large. Second, — the hypodermic
injection of filtered urine much diluted should have been given
after the patient refused to take it internally. From three to
five minims of the third or higher centesimal dilution appears
to be the dose -for this child.
The writer has successfully treated many cases of bladder
and prostate infections not reported. He believes that when
urine, blood and cerebrospinal or other body fluid, etc., are to
be given autotherapeutically, enough should be obtained and
preserved before treatment is begun to last throughout the
treatment. It appears that after the first treatment is given
the microorganisms remaining in the body are affected by it
so that their toxins no longer have the same therapeutic value
as the toxins prepared from the fluid before any injection is given.
Occasionally, however, a new specimen may be
employed. There are no set rules that will fit all cases and
each patient must be treated as an individual. The general
autotherapeutic rule is to discontinue administering the toxins
when the improvement begins. In this way the patient is
allowed to react to the toxins and to continue to react as long
as it is possible for him to do so. When improvement ceases
and the aggravation of symptoms again sets in, repeat the
dose. This gives the tissues another boost. After a time there
will come a period when he will not need this assistance and
will continue to remain free from symptoms. A dose or two
more at the proper interval, determined by previous dosage
in this individual case, is then given to increase further his
resistance to the infecting microorganisms.
URINE AS AN AUTOTHERAPEUTIC REMEDY 271
Case 204. Dr. Eric Graf Vondergoltz, of New York City,
reports that he reduced sugar in a diabetes patient from over
5 per cent., to normal in two weeks’ time by the use of urine
per OS.
Nocturnal Enuresis
Case 205. Patient, male, age 8 years, had been wetting the
bed constantly all his life. He had been under the care of
several physicians with no improvement. He was sent to a
hospital where he was circumcised, but on his return the same
old practice of wetting the bed continued without intermission.
He was then sent to the country as a last resort where he re-
mained till the present time. While in the country he was sent
to school but remained for only a few days because his cloth-
ing was so impregnated with the smell of urine. Several
mattresses had to be burned for the same reason. September
18, 1913, he came under the writer’s medical care; it was then
decided to see what Autotherapy would do for him. Accord-
ingly a pint of early morning urine was mixed with a pint of
alcohol. Of this he was given a teaspoonful three times a day
before meals, beginning with the dinner meal. He has not wet
the bed since. By mistake the treatment was continued for
three weeks but no harm was done. The trouble has not re-
turned and the patient has gained progressively in weight, has
now a good color, and sings, a thing he never did before.
Case 206. Patient, female, age 10 years, has been wetting
the bed since she was a baby. She did not want to do this and
cried at times on account of her soiling the bed clothes regu-
larly. Her mother was instructed to give her a teaspoonful
of her early morning urine before meals (a fresh supply every
morning). This was sweetened with molasses just before tak-
ing. She stopped wetting the bed after the first dose. About
six weeks afterwards she began again; during the interval
she learned what she had been taking and her parents would
not insist upon her taking it again.
In one of the large babies’ hospitals in New York City
where children are taken up to the age of 12 years, this
method of treating nocturnal enuresis is found to be efficacious
272 AUTOTHERAPY
in many instances. There were some cases that failed to re-
spond and whether this failure is due to faulty technic or to
the condition not being amenable to this treatment is not
known but it is successful in a sufficient number of cases to
warrant its being given a fair trial, at least in those condi-
tions that fail to respond to the usual methods of treatment.
The etiology of this condition is obscure and the question
presents itself — May not nocturnal enuresis be due either di-
rectly or indirectly to pathogenic microorganisms? It appears
that bacteria located in or near the sphincter would either
by direct or reflex action cause constant irritation that is the
precursor of relaxation. This assumption is apparently borne
out by the fact that the condition is frequently improved as are
all extra-alimentary and extra-pulmonary infections when the
etiological microorganisms or their toxins are taken by the
mouth.
It is believed that broken-down products of normal metabolism
taken in this way are not conducive of the best physical
effect. When they are associated with pathogenic toxic sub-
stances as they often are in the urine, the amount of the
former taken is comparatively small and the benefit derived
from the latter is great. Ill effects, if any, are not appreciable.
Case 210. Dr. R. L. Rierson, of Oakland, Cal., reports the
following case:
” Patient, an old latiy, age 83 years, had been suffering with
Bright’s disease for many years. Her legs were swollen,
and with her other symptoms life was unbearable. By the
use of urine, according to Dr. Duncan’s Autotherapy, she
improved, was made comfortable, and no longer wanted to
die. She is not well and never will be, but it is certain that
here is a new therapeutic agent with wonderful undeveloped
possibilities.”
