This statement is possibly rather misleading, and I should explain that owing to the small amount of the drug available we tended to use it mainly in cases with multiple lesions which are not easily dealt with by local treatment. In fact in our relatively small series we found no obvious statistical difference between cases which showed a single track and multiple lesions. Since these results were published, further cases treated have confirmed our clinical observations, and while as yet we can hardly describe the evidence from these cases as conclusive, it seems, to
