SUMMARY When used subcutaneously, aminosol‐glucose is an innocuous parenteral feeding, provided that the ampoule, once broken, is not used a second time. The preparation can very well replace the Ringer solution and glucose, and in consequence a protein thereapy can be realised even when oral feeding is found impossible or made difficult, or when injections in veins, bone marrow and abdomen have to be spared for other purposes. We have found that the suitable quantity is 20–40 ml per kg bodyweight and day, given by 1–2 injections daily.
