Abstract
HITHERTO, chemotherapy has seldom been successful in virus diseases, but the use of Sulphanilamides in lymphogranuloma inguinale1, choriomeningitis2, and trachoma3 has opened new possibilities in this field during the past year. There is, so far, no record of experimental work giving favourable results in the chemotherapy of rabies, however, and from an observation in Khartoum, the Sulphanilamides appear to have no effect in this condition.
