These are newly-introduced drugs or therapeutic agencies that are as yet upon trial. They have been brought forward as improvements upon former methods. Some of these will be found to justify the claims made in their behalf, while others will be found wanting. In the same 'category may be placed the new uses suggested for old remedies.
