THIS report concerns the topical use of butylphenamide* in the treatment of some of the common varieties of ringworm of the scalp and body. Laboratory data dealing with fungicidal effect "in vitro" and the absence of signs of toxicity in experimental animals suggested that butylphenamide would be a more valuable fungicide than any of the many others available. Our clinical impression is that th...
