Extract

In the past few years many papers have appeared both in Europe and the United States of America demonstrating the value of Chlorpromazine and Reserpine in the treatment of mental illness. In the United States of America Kinross-Wright (1954) has reported on Chlorpromazine in the treatment of schizophrenia and claimed very satisfactory results; in this country Lomas (1955) and his collaborators have in several papers confirmed these results. With regard to Reserpine in the United States of America Kline (1954) has used the drug extensively with good results; in Europe, hopeful reports by Foote (1955) and McGrath et al. (1956) confirmed the value of this drug in psychiatric practice.
