Chemotherapy may be defined as "the treatment of disease by
chemical substances which have been shown by biological methods to be relatively much more toxic to pathogenic organisms than to human or other animal hosts."
MAIN DRUGS
Dr. Pyman discussed the main types of chemotherapeutic drugs in detail according to the organisms they were designed to kill.
He described his own work in the field of killers of amoebae, of especial value for the treatment of dysentery, and said that a sub- stance which at first seemed very promising had had to be abandon- ed: valuable hints for future work had, however, cometa light in the
procesa.
Dr. W. Kikuth, discussing the chemotherapy of malaria, said that two chemotherapeutic substances of value had been discovered- plasmoquin and aletrin. By using both of these it is now possible for the first time to break the life cycle of the malarial parasite en tirely.
He considered that we were on the verge of important develop ments in this field which "would help materially in the campolga against malaria.
