Abstract
IN a recent communication to Nature, Nicol et al. 1 reported the effect of various stilbene compounds on the phagocytic activity of the reticulo-endothelial system, intimating that stimulation was associated with certain aspects in the chemical structure, and that the strongest stimulants possessed high œstrogenicity. The present communication reports the effect on reticulo-endothelial phagocytic activity of some polyphenylated aliphatic hydrocarbons related to the synthetic œstrogens of the diphenylmethane series.
