The beneficial effect of bee stings in rheumatic diseases gave grounds to prepare (Pollack) apicosan from bees (marketed by Wohlf's laboratory in Bielefeld, in ampoules of 1.0 q.s.). This remedy is used in the form of intermuscular injections in ascending doses, 0.3 to 1.0, every 3 to 4 days. Passow, having tried it in ocular practice, was convinced that it was beneficial in acute and often also in chronic rheumatic iridocyclitis, and also, apparently, in gouty iritis.
