Treatment of rheumatism with salicylic preparations

Abstract

On February 10-11, 1939, a plenum of the All-Union Committee for the Study and Control of Rheumatism was held in Moscow. Among other issues, the plenum discussed the treatment of rheumatism (Buyo's disease) with salicyl preparations. This seemingly quite definite question still required a special exchange of opinions, since some therapists and pediatricians have recently expressed doubts about the usefulness of salicyl treatment of rheumatism.
