The Pinnacle of Therapeutic Success can only be Antiphlogistine (Inflammation's Antidote) affords the most scientific method of combating inflammation and Congestion. It is of especial benefit in the conditions incident to the summer season. In ENTERO-COLITIS, and other Inflammations of the abdominal and pelvic viscera, Antiphlogistine proves a satisfactory adjuvant to treatment, as it produces a depletion of the enteric and peritoneal vessels, stimulates the reflexes and relieves the pain, tenesmus and muscular rigidity. In SPRAINS and WRENCHES, the stretching or tearing of the ligaments, contusion of the synovial membrane and damage to vessels and nerves are best controlled by Antiphlogistine, which distinctly aids in the reconstruction of the part. The absorption of the liquid exudate from the swollen tissues and the free circulation of blood in the seat of the injury greatly hastens the process of repair. THE DENVER CHEMICAL MFG. CO. NEW YORK EIGHT FATAL DISEASES. Report sayeth, and there is no denial, that our city hospital boasts of a patient whose load is almost as large as that of Atlas. Despite his numerous ailments, he was until lately employed as a machinist. His ailments are described as follows: "He has a collection of eight diseases, any one of which is serious enough to be fatal. He was taken to the hospital late last night from the City Dispensary, where his trouble was diagnosed as heart lesion. At the hospital he was examined and the following diseases registered against him. in the record: Mitral and aortic regurgitation, nephritis, diabetes, multiple abscesses, melitis and general anasarca." Thus registers his diagnosis sheet, but up to the present writing he still lives though he moves but little. The new cure advanced for consumption is that advocated by Surgeon Barton Lisle Wright, of the United States Navy, namely the use of Mercury in large and increasing doses. "The first report of Dr. Wright's experience was published in the April number of the U. S. Naval Medical Bulletin, and as the result of his findings he called attention (1) the immediate improvement of the patient's general condition, as shown by a showing of the pulse, reduction of temperature and gain in weight; (2) the fact that murcurial treatment will cure an extremely advanced tuberculous ulceration of th elarynx and pharynk in a remarkably short time; (3) the fact that the treatment produces a decided improvement of advanced pulmonary lesions, and also has an evident beneficial action on tuberculous glands. Great care was taken to exclude syphilis in these cases. Large, increasing doses of mercury were required and it was found that consumptives were more tolerant of mercury than syphilitics. The results of treatment in forty cases of tuberculosis were reported in Surgeon Wright's second paper (U. S. Naval Medical Bulletin, July, 1908). Of these cases 70 per cent showed improvement. In a third and latest paper (N. Y. Medical Journal, August 29, 1908), published just before we are going to press, Dr. Wright reports sixty-five cases under treatment, with 85 per cent of cases showing improvement. He records in detail the history of twelve consumptive officers, of whom ten were taking the mercury treatment. Nine of these are rapidly improving, while one has failed slightly." This latest report, accompanied by diagrams of lesions before and after treatment, well illustrates the value of the mercurial treatment in tuberculosis. ORIGINAL ARTICLES.
