IT IS IMPORTANT that persons connected with all phases of medicine interest themselves in the study and application of new drugs and chemicals, particularly when allied diseases of the various specialties may be benefited by them. Nitrogen mustard is a relatively new chemical so far as its therapeutic and biologic actions in diseases, as first reported by Gilman and Philips,1 are concerned. An official statement of its merits was made by Rhoads.2 Both of these writers thoroughly discussed its chemistry and modes of action, and so further reference to this phase of the chemical will not be made. Though it is more than likely that numerous persons have treated cutaneous blastomas and other diseases with nitrogen mustard, there are only a few reports in the literature at this time. For that reason it was felt that the present report might be of interest.
