Prominal was first favourably reported on by several German and other continental observers (1, 2, 3, 4) in 1932. More recently (6, 7, 8, 9, 10) there has been evidence of its value from workers in this country, mainly of its use in epileptics with mental defect. In the reported cases results have indicated that only 3 out of 66 cases failed to show diminution in the number of their fits. In the epileptic psychotics treated at Claybury during the past eighteen months the drug has been found useful in a less striking way.
