ResumoA CASE OF SYMPHYSIOTOMY.["DC.oLN 885 Case xii it fell 6 per cent., there being no apparent reason for this asthe arsenic agreed well.Nor were the corpuscles affected, except in Case xiii, where a rise apparently took place at first, but was followed by a fall.Whetlher this was a real change or simply due to the admitted inaccuracy of the method of counting corpuscles, I am unable to say.In no case did arsenic improve the irregularities in size and con- tour of the red blood corpuscles.My own opinion is that it -exerts no direct influenee on the blood in chlorosis.Whether it has an indirect value in chlorosis when given in combination with iron is very diffi, ult to say.I have several times attempted to compare the relative rapidity with which cases treated with iron alone and iron plus arsenic recover, but it is impossible to do so satisfactorily, for the simple reason that apparently similar eases vary much in the time
