1) The writer's observations as well as other investigators' have revealed that there is a definite use for calcium and vitamin C therapy in the treatment of tuberculosis.

2) In a series of 50 cases at the Boston Sanatorium a combination of calcium ribonate and vitamin C was administered intravenously three times weekly for a period of three months.

3) The results obtained justify the continued use of calcium ribonate and vitamin C in the treatment of tuberculosis, especially intestinal tuberculosis and pleural effusions.

4) No ill effects were encountered in the intravenous administration of calcium ribonate in any of our cases.
