Material and Methods In view of the favourable results of Etisul treatment reported by Davey and H ogerzei l ( 1 959) we decided to investigate whether Eti su l would be practical for use in outpatients by our trained auxil iary staff. We used Etisul by inunct ion on 38 patients during the period J uly to December 1 959, comprising 1 8 outpatients at the Kaduna and Kano Area Clinics, 5 at the Zaria Provincial Leprosy Hospital, 6 at the Albarka Mission Leprosy Village, and 9 at the Katanga Native Authority Leprosy Treatment Village at Azare i n Bauchi Province. W e found that t he treatment became popular and attendance was regular, except in one clinic. Etisul was supplied in unit dose tubes containing 5 g. of diethyl dithiolisophthalate in a suitable cream for percutaneous use, and we gave the inunct ion of the unit dose of 5 g. in three groups, namely twice weekly, thrice weekly, and dai ly . For chi ldren and young adults half the dose was given. The thrice weekly method seemed to us the most practical for our patients . With daily inunction t he patient carried with him an un­ mistakable odour from the preparation and imparted this odour to his environment. There was little of this with the twice or thrice weekly inunction. We also noted that careless or inefficient inunction gave rise to body and environmental odour, which provided us with a very useful check on the thoroughness of the administration. At the beginning of the trial each patient was given a supply of weak Dettol, but this was soon found not to be necessary. The best sites for rapid absorption were the abdomen and chest, and about 20 minutes sufficed for the inunction.
