A synergistic action between penicillin and chemotherapy when used concomitantly has been shown experimentally3 to exist. Evidence is accumulating which tends to demonstrate that these drugs also have a synergistic action clinically in the treatment of acute gonorrheal urethritis. Oard et al.2 have written of striking results in the treatment of 70 cases in young white males using 12 gm. of sul...
