Conclusions It is realized that no very general conclusions can be drawn from this small group of cases, but the following facts appear to be obvious: The doses administered are much larger than those usually reported; but it must be remembered that this group was made up of patients of long standing who had been receiving large doses of hyoscine over long periods of time. In each case, the dose of “rabellon” was adjusted to the individual's tolerance and at such a point that it remained just short of causing toxic symptoms, at which dose, maximum benefits appeared. The results were uniform, in that the patients all reported more improvement in subjective feelings than with any other medication heretofore used. In the majority of cases, this improvement was not so pronounced objectively. Their protest against returning to former medication is noteworthy. “Rabellon” obviates many of the unpleasant and often distressing side effects of the drugs previously used and, in the opinion of the writer, is the most satisfactory drug so far found for the treatment of chronic encephalitis.
