For sale by The J. F. HARTZ CO., Limited No. 2 Richmond Street East TORONTO 24, who was admitted to the medical clinic of the University Hospital, complained of dull, heavy pain with stiffness and deformity of many joints. The patient's family and previous history was negative; he denied venereal disease. The present disease began six years previously with a dull heavy pain, swelling and grating on movement of the left knee. The same condition manifested itself in the left hip, left elbow and wrist in rapid succession. Four years later the temporo-maxillary joints became involved, and one year later the right hand, elbow, hip, knee and ankle became affected. There was pigmentation of the skin and at times a feeling of uncomfortable warmth of the upper part of the body, followed by perspiration or coldness. The patient was able to limp about with the aid of crutches, and when lying down was unable to raise the lower extremities. The treatment consisted of applications of oil of gaultheria to the joints, small doses of salol and phenacetin internally for the pain, and Fowler's solution in increasing doses. The patient improved under this treatment and was discharged from the hospital, but returned two years later complaining of heavy pain in the joints, twitching of the muscles. and general stiffness. While he was taking Fowler's solution the pigmentation of the skin increased, and this was especially noticeable as the dose of Fowler's solution was between 10 and 16 drops three times a day. Dosage above 16 drops caused swelling of the lids, suffusion of the conjunctiva and a tendency to diarrhea. The patient developed a severe neuritis of the internal crural and inguinal nerves, but it is doubtful whether or not this is due to the arsenic, which he took for a period of nearly two years. INTESTINAL ULCERATION. The patient in this case was a woman 82 years old. Her trouble was of several years standing, during which time she had been unsuccessfully treated for various forms of gastro-intestinal affections. I found that there was a great deal of pain, at times very acute, in the region of the duodenum, and a careful examination of the daily stools showed a number of black crusts which, with other symptoms, indicated an ulcer. there was much acid fermentation and gastric disturbance, I thought the use of Glyco-Thymoline would be effective and began with tablespoonful doses every three hours. The results were wonderful. Not only were the gastric conditions corrected speedily, but the pains and soreness was lessened in the duodenal tract and the quantity of black crusts in the stools greatly lessened. I had the patient under the care of a trained nurse and told her to keep up the Glyco-Thymoline treatment closely watch the stools and report to me daily. This was done and the improvement steadily continued until after some three weeks' treatment, there was no pain nor soreness and no trace of the crusts. Her appetite had returned and she could digest and assimilate her food without any distress, something she had been unable to do for a number of years. After another week or so I found that every indication pointed to a cure and discontinued the treatment. That was over a year ago. She has not had the slightest return of the bad symptoms and her general condition is remarkably good for a woman of her age. As it is, she apparently has a number No. 171 Washstand Made with heavy base, mounted on castors.
