Summary
An instance of cinchophen poisoning associated with gastric ulcers is reported and another case is collected from the literature. The probability of cinchophen acting as the etiologic agent is suggested and discussed. Attention is directed to the need of further clinical and roentgenologic studies of the stomach and duodenum of patients who exhibit cinchophen poisoning. It is suggested that a carefulanamnesis in all peptic ulcer patients from the stand-point of cinchophen therapy might yield interesting data.
