Abstract / Excerpt:

“A paper by us entitled ‘Adverse Mercurial Reactions in the Form of Acrodynia and Related Conditions’ was published in March, 1951.  Although written in 1949, its publication was delayed. Since that time additional data have been accumulated and at least fifty relevant publications have appeared in the literature.”
