RESINOL CHEMICAL CO., Baltimore, Md. A LATE number of the Medical Record contains an illustrated article on the abortive treatment of Typhoid as inaugurated by Dr. Woodbridge. The temperature charts of a number of cases treated in Bellevue Hospital are given, and the whole subject so completely reported that it is difficult to understand how there can be any mistake. Dr. Woodbridge has been accused of treating cases which were not typhoid, and yet reporting them as such. In these cases treated at Bellevue, however, the blood was examined by the bacteriologist of the Board of Health of New York City, and each specimen gave a positive reaction of the typhoid bacilli of Koch-Eberth. Therefore, the cases must be accepted as those of true typhoid fever. The patients had no baths, and were given only the Woodbridge treatment. In each case the disease was shortened, there was an absence of delirium, the tongue remained moist, there was a rapid disappearance of abdominal tenderness, and of tympanites and all offensive odor from the stools.

The enterprise of the numerous German manufacturers of chemicals. is rapidly developing. Doubtless encouraged by the success of the American manufacturer, his German colleague now resorts to advertising by circular in a most extensive manner. Although such "circulars" are usually thrown into the waste basket and do not therefore reach the eye of so large a number of practitioners as do announcements in the Medical Journals, the manufacturers continue to pour these missives into the offices of the long-suffering doctor. A recent circular, announcing the value of a certain pharmaceutical preparation, has afforded us so much amusement that we offer some excerpts from it to our readers to compensate them for being bored: "If from this case like many others, treatment allows to make a sure conclusion, it invites strictly to make more experiments. An application in private practice I will surely use in appropriate cases.” "The leaves after the production of the fruits had a containing of sugar." "Who has opportunity to witness many dissections will literally get used to it, to find, by dissections for other causes of deaths, by a large percentage, at least in half of the cases, as occasional and incidental observations, old, healed, tubercular hearths." "It is put out of all doubt, that in its initial stades, tubercular does not absolutely need to take a deadly course, but very often even has an inclination of healing over." "This endeavor to assist the nature is business of the doctor." Among the cases described we find the following: "Mathias, wife, 20 years old, since years constipated nose, discharge of bloody, mattery, stinking barks." "After my experiences this case only enters with persons of sitting conduct of life without any movement I renounced to give a purging addition; a teaspoonful of 'Salt of Carlsbad' taken sober in the morning." "Maidservant H. Both nose shells polypous bubbly swo'n, speaks through the nose, oznena, lachrymol nose channels constipated." "Affeine to take the medicine regularly. As this is, from my side, on account of the resultlessness, directly denoted to be a lie.” "Abdomen strongly meteoritically driven up. Liver suffocation not observable. The excretion becomes less prudent, contains tubercular bacillusses." "This form has an unagreeable disadvantage, it attacks the teeth in a bad way by etching." THE STUDY OF THE BLOOD. A recent excellent paper in the Pacific Medical Journal, by Dr. J. A. Sanderson, of St. Helena, California, entitled "Practical Value of the Study of the Blood," suggests a number of points of material use to the every day practitioner. He begins by the simple statement that in view of the important relation of the blood constituents to the general nutrition, as well as to the embryological development of the body, it is not unreasonable "to expect to find in its close examination many things indicative of the real real conditions that are present in the various phases of health and disease; and it is quite surprising how slowly the pathology, or even the physiology of the blood has advanced in comparison with other branches of medical science." Then follows the statement that the "facts that are of practical importance concerning the blood can be determined, first, by the study of the fresh specimen; second, by having the per cent. of hæmoglobin; third, by the estimation of the white and red corpuscles; and, fourth, by the examination of the dried and stained specimens." "A few drops of blood from the end of the finger or lobe of the ear, preferably the latter, are sufficient to make any one or all of these examinations." Then follows the facts in regard to the number and kinds of corpuscles, their proportion and the significance of their disproportion; the presence of parasites, the one of especial importance in this country being the plasmodium malaria. We are not so sure that the count of the corpuscles, even in the hands of experts, can always be accepted as accurate; but we can easily note a disproportion and from such a condition draw important conclusions. |
