Conclusions

One hundred patients received carbon dioxide-oxygen therapy. There was no improvement in 25 per cent, slight but definite improvement in 27 per cent, marked improvement in 26 per cent and apparent recovery in 22 per cent, over the one to nine months following therapy covered by this report.

Carbon dioxide-oxygen inhalations are easy to administer, are safe and inexpensive, and in the present series of cases, were effective in producing some degree of improvement in 75 per cent of the patients treated.
