Correspondence ADRENAL CORTICAL EXTRACT IN CHOLERA To the Editor, The Indian Medical Gazette

Sir,?I shall be very thankful if you will please publish this letter in your Journal. I tried adrenal cortical extract (eucortone) in a few cases of cholera with very encouraging results. As the number of cases was very few, and it is not likely for me to get a large number of cases to try the drug, I beg to suggest to those who are treating large numbers of these cases to try this drug and give their opinions. I have ample reason to believe that it may prove a very valuable adjunct in the treatment of this disease.

Thanking

you,

Yours, etc., P.
