ABSTRACT WE have received from Boots Pure Drug Co., Ltd., Nottingham, an illustrated booklet describing the different products issued by this firm for the treatment of the anaemias. ‘Pepsac’
is an active preparation of desiccated hog's stomach, which is given by mouth in pernicious anaemia: ‘Hepostab’ is an extract of liver specially prepared for intramuscular injection.
It is suggested that treatment be commenced with ‘Hepostab’, especially if the case is a severe one, and continued from the fourth day onwards with ‘Pepsac’. Each batch of ‘Hepostab’ is
subjected to clinical trial before issue. Both preparations, and especially ‘Pepsac’, are of great value in the treatment of subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord, the most
severe complication of pernicious anaemia. Messrs. Boots also prepare liver extracts for oral administration, namely, compound fluid extract of liver?Boots, liquid extract of liver B.P., and
dry extract of liver ?Boots. For the treatment of secondary anaemias, ‘Livron’ is recommended: this is an extract of liver yeast and malt with the addition of a full therapeutic dose of
iron. Access through your institution Buy or subscribe This is a preview of subscription content, access via your institution ACCESS OPTIONS Access through your institution Subscribe to this
