In the world of therapeutics certain drugs or preparations have been used for so many years that the statements in the literature, especially in the textbooks and also in articles in professional journals, as to the action of these drugs have a tendency to reiterate impressionistic ideas or traditions.

With a widespread impression once established it is difficult to revise opinions with regard to drugs and a writer is placed in a precarious position if his results conflict with the generally accepted views.
