A. Ulrich. Importance of salt in the treatment of epilepsy. Ueber die practiche Vervendung des Kochsalzes in der Behandlung der Epilepsie. — Neurologisch. Centralblatt, 1910, № 2

Abstract

Based on his experimental work on various animals, H. Wyss came to the conclusion that the phenomena of bromism are due not to intoxication of the body with bromine, but to a lack of chloride compounds in the blood. Based on these data, the author, in cases of bromism in epileptics who have taken large amounts of bromine for a long time and adhered to a regimen containing a small amount of table salt, gave small doses of the latter (2.0 pro die); the phenomena of bromism disappeared after a few days. In cases of persistent acne of bromide origin, the author successfully prescribed compresses from a 10% solution of sodium chloride.
