son, of whom I shrll have something more to say during the progress of this narrative.

Dr. Yandell was a warm personal friend and admirer of his chief, Gen. Joseph E. Johnston. The failure of General Johnston's Mississippi campaign was a subject of adverse comment in certain quarters. Dr. Yandell wrote a confidential letter to his intimate friend, Surgeon John M. Johnson, in which he endeavored to vindicate Johnson, attributing the failure of his Mississippi campaign to a want of cordial co-operation on the part of President Davis and the War Department at Richmond. Dr. Johnson showed that letter to a Kentucky editor and his confidential friend, enjoining secresy. Now this friend was a correspondent of the London Times, so to that paper he sent the substantial facts contained in Dr. Yandell's letter. The attention of President Davis was called to the publication in the Times. The facts and the spirit of that communication in the Times gave Mr. Davis reason to suspect that the letter was written at General Johnston's instigation and with his cognizance. He addressed General Johnston an official letter, calling his attention to the letter in the London Times, and asking him to ascertain its author. General Johnstan addressed a note to every member of his staff, asking them if any of them had communicated with the correspondent of the London Times. Yandell frankly stated to his friend, Surgeon John M. Johnson, substantially the facts stated by the correspondent of the Times. Dr. Johnson admihistered that he had shown the letter to that correspondent with an injunction of secrecy, but that the correspondent, without his knowledge or consent, had used the statements of Dr. Yandell. As the result of this inquiry, Mr. Davis, it was said, became very indignaut at both Drs. Yandell and Johnson. As a quasi punishment they were both ordered to duty in the Trans-Mississippi Department. Dr. Johnson, being a corpulent man, and advanced in years, felt unable to make the journey across the Great River in the then condition of the country. He there resigned his office as surgeon.

But Dr. Yandell made the jouoney, and served as Medical Director of the Trans-Mississippi Department until the final surrender.

LISTERINE

a safe, trustworthy, non-toxic antiseptic, answering every requirement of the physician and surgeon. In special practice, notably Laryngology and Rhinology, Listerine occupies an unrivaled position by reason of its excellence and wide range of utility.

An interesting little brochure, entitled:

"The TREATMENT of DISEASES of the RESPIRATORY SYSTEM" will be mailed to your address, upon application.

Its exceedingly agreeable properties, and the readiness with which it disinfects offensive lochial discharges, has won for LISTERINE a first place in the lying-in room as a general cleansing, prophylactic or antiseptic agent. Whilst there is no possibility of poisonous effect through the absorption of LISTERINE, its power to neutralize the products of putrefactive changes, and thus to prevent absorption, has been most satisfactorily determined by extended clinical test.

LAMBERT'S LITHIATED HYDRANGEA

A remedy of acknowledged value in the treatment of all diseases of the urinary system and of especial utility in the train of evil effects arising from a uric acid diathesis. Close clinical observation has caused LAMBERT'S LITHIATED HYDRANGEA to be regarded by physicians generally as a very valuable Kidney Alterative and antilithic agent in the treatment of

Cystitis, Diabetes, Gout, Rheumatism, Hematuria, Bright's Disease, Urinary Calculus, Albuminuria and vesical irritations generally.

Realizing that in many of the diseases in which LAMBERT'S LITHIATED HYDRANGEA has been found to possess great therapeutic value it is of the highest importance that suitable diet be employed, we have prepared for the convenience of physicians

DIETETIC NOTES,

suggesting the articles of food to be allowed or prohibited in several of these diseases. A book of these Dietetic Notes, each note perforated and convenient for the physician to detach and distribute to patients, together with a pamphlet treating of "RENAL DERANGEMENTS" may be had by addressing:

PNEUMONIA. "To treat the patient and not the disease" has become a phrase hackneyed with use. It is nevertheless true, and to no disease is it more applicable than it is to pneumonia. In one case we may have to do absolutely nothing; may not use up five cents worth of medicine; in the very next case we may be called upon to use our utmost energy, to work untiringly and unceasingly, to administer perhaps a dozen drugs-by mouth, by rectum, by inhalation, by the hypodermic method, etc.-in short, we may have to utilize all our skill and knowledge in an endeavor to tide the patient through the danger period. This diverse therapy is due chiefly to two factors: first, to the widely differing virulence of various epidemics of pneumonia, and, second, to the markedly different effects which pneumonia has on different patients, such as strong, healthy and temperate young men on one hand, and the old, the debilitated, or the intemperate on the other. To speak, therefore, of the treatment of pneumonia as of a complete entity is ridiculous. We can speak of the treatment of the various stages of pneumonia, of the various symptoms and complications occurring during the course of pneumonia-that's all. A treatment of pneumonia as a disease per se does not exist.

Eight minims ever half hour, until pulse is soft and reduced in frequency.

A calomel purge is usually indicated in the beginning; it may do very much good and can hardly ever do any harm. It should be administered in one of the following combinations:

If free and full evacuation does not follow in a few hours, a dose of some saline like magnesium sulphate or magnesium citrate should be administered, to complement the action of the calomel.

Dover's powder is a favorite remedy in pneumonia and is given in 5-grn. doses at rather frequent intervals-every three to six hours. It accomplishes several purposes: allays the pleuritic pain and cough, induces a gentle perspiration, allays cerebral irritation, and induces sleep. Occasionally the side pain is so severe that we cannot abstain from small hypodermics of morphine, but as a rule morphine should be withheld. A hot poultice to the chest-made of mustard, 1 part, and ground flaxseed, 3 to 6 parts—is very useful. On the subject of ice-bags to the chest in the treatment of pneumonia the profession is strongly divided; personally, we are not in favor of them. An ice-bag to the head, on the other hand, is very useful in cerebral irritation, delirium or hyperpyrexia.

(One of the best applications to the chest is Antiphlogistine, spread on thick, covered with a layer of cotton and then a soft towel.-ED. S. P.)

If the cough is not excessive, is rather loose, and is followed by expectoration, it should be left alone. If, on the other hand, it is dry, harsh, and painful, and the patient is unable to bring up any mucus, it should be treated. Morphine is not suitable, as it locks up the secretions, and to have all the secreting and excreting functions working smoothly is of paramount importance in pneumonia. The three best sedatives are codeine, heroin, and
