Sodium salicylate as aborticum. F. Pachner (Casopis lékaru ceskych, 1928, No. 12)

Bearing in mind that in some districts of Czecho-Slovakia the above mentioned drug is used by pregnant women to induce miscarriage, I made several experiments on guinea pigs, which were given 0.01-1.0 salicyl Na per day for 1-2 weeks, and observations on 65 women, who were 4-24 weeks pregnant, in which pregnancy was shown to terminate - 45 cases due to pulmonary consumption, and 8 cases due to heart defects; these women received 6 grams. salicylic acid Na per day, 3 days in a row.
