On pages 55 to 66, you can read Dr. Ding's scientific publication on preparations 'Nitroakridin 3582' and 'Rutenol' which were produced by IG Farben company BAYER / HOECHST. Dr. Ding was a Nazi doctor in Buchenwald concentration camp. Amongst other things, he gave patients typhus in order to perform ineffective and cruel "curative" experiments on them, thereby testing the preparations named above – all in the name of the German pharmaceutical industry.
Dr. Ding reports about experiments conducted between April and May 1943 on 39 camp inmates infected with typhus. As proposed by BAYER / HOECHST, 'Rutenol' was administered as granules, 'Nitroakridin' as pills.
The chart on page 58 shows the results of the test with 'Rutenol': Accordingly, only 4 out of 15 patients tolerated the substance. The other patients either suffered from vomiting or even died. Some of the complications associated with 'Rutenol' were nephritis or intestinal bleeding.
On the following page, Dr. Ding reports that 'Acridin 3582' was even less tolerated than 'Rutenol'. Some of the complications associated with this preparation were pyelitis or bronchitis. The death rate was extremely high, and among the dead were also the only two patients who had tolerated the substance.
In conclusion, Dr. Ding states that none of the preparations had palliative or antipyretic effects in patients with typhus, and, even worse, they could not fight the virus without causing severe damages. The number of deaths of those that were treated with the preparations '3582' and 'Rutenol' were about as high as the number of deaths that were not connected to the application of the above named substances. Therefore, according to Dr. Ding, the preparations could not be used as a cure for typhus – thus showing that the experiments were a total failure.
