Marked improvement in physical condition followed the administration of "Necroton" to three, patients suffering from chronic schistosomiasis mansoni. Two of the patients received intramuscular injections of 5 c.c. of Necroton daily for 30 days. Gastrointestinal disturbances disappeared on the fifth day. A third patient received 2 c.c. daily for 13 days and 5 c.c. daily for a further 25 days. Necroton is the trade name for an anti-necrotic material prepared from liver and protects the liver from the effect of toxic agents.
