The colloid material (S.D. 2), which contains as active constituents 30 % tetrachlorethylenum and 10 % oleum pini, was prepared and supplied by Mr J. F. Moseley of Altrincham for tests on the skin. It is claimed that this material had benefited considerably certain forms of dermatitis, including that produced by mineral oil. We were therefore interested to discover whether its effect on tumour production in mice would resemble our lanolin-olive oil ointment.
