For mitigating the toxic effects of alcohol on the brain cortex and promoting the formation of aversion to alcohol in chronic alcoholics in the course of the reflex therapy the alcohol was given in drops making 1/20 of a gulp. This method is technically simple, causes no complications, and enables one to attain deeper and more stable remissions. Of 400 patients observed remissions of under 3 months were obtained in 12%; of 3 to 6 months, in 9%; of 6 to 9 months, in 10%; of 9 to 12 months, in 7%; and of over a year in 62% of the patients.
