testinal canal as soap, another as free fatty acids, and perhaps a portion as unchanged fat. 4. In the first few week's of infant life biliary coloring matter is constantly and distinctly to be found. In mild intestinal troubles the biliverdin is increased, probably owing to the increased acidity of the intestinal contents. 5. The relative

proportion of cholesterine is the same as in
the adult. 6. Of the ferments of the intes-
tinal canal the diastase is present in small
quantity; pancreatin only in traces; pepsine
is entirely absent. (O. M. and S. R., July,
1876, p. 224.)

The Vaso-Motor Apparatus. (J. S. P. Lord,
N. A. J., Nov., 1876.)

On the Eternal Question of the Origin of the Lymphatics. At present there is far from agreement upon the question whether the lymphatics open at their origin in the serous cavities by orifices or stomata; those in Germany admitting the thing as demonstrated; others in France resolutely denying it; some remain in doubt. Mr. Klein, in the London Med. Record, Jan. 15, 1876, assures us that he has observed the lymphatics of the lung open by two kinds of mouths-the stomata and pseudo-stomata; the stomata communicating directly with the pleural cavity, and the pseudo-stomata opening in the alveolar cavities of the lung, with the bronchial mucous membrane intermediate.

Feeding by Sub-cutaneous Injections. Dr. J.
Krueg has found it possible to nourish pa-
tients by subcutaneous injections of sugar,
milk, yolk of egg, and oil. Abscesses were
not found to generally follow the injections.
(Quoted from Lancet in O. M. and S. R.,
p. 367.)

Hypodermic Injections of Pure Water. Dr.
Lafitte has employed subcutaneous injec-
tions of pure water in a great variety of
diseases attended with pain. He has thus
obtained as much success in the relief of
this latter element as when he employed
injections of Morphia, and attributes it to
the compression of the terminal nervous
filament by the injected water.
(0. M.

Fruit for Food. It is claimed that the theory

The special causes of disease are variations
of heat and cold, and constant inhalation of
dust. These produce bronchitis, asthma,
and pulmonary consumption. Paralytic
diseases are often produced by the lead in
the clay. (Quoted from Dr. Richardson in
O. M. and S. R., September, 1876, p. 302.)
Duration of Life. In ancient Rome, in 200
to 300 A. D., the average was thirty years;
now it is fifty. In the sixteenth century in
Geneva the average was 21.21. Now as
many people live to be seventy as 300 years
ago lived to be forty-three. (A. O., 1876, p.
536.)

Epidemics. The meteorological conditions pre

ive dampness. This condition favors the generation of locusts, caterpillars, flies, and frogs, which cover the earth; as a sequence of these follow dearth and famine. Other facts: 1. An increased pressure of the atmosphere, greatest at the worst period of the epidemic; 2. An increased density of the atmosphere, not arising from an increase of the watery vapor; 3. Quantity of water in air one twentieth less than the average, but yet the mean weight of a cubic foot of air was two grains above the average; 4. Unusual alternation of heat and cold, heat predominating, and may rise from two to eight degrees above the average. (A. W. Woodward, M. I., vol. III., p. 254, 1876.)

Dr. Sattethwaite says: They are vegeta-
ble organisms; they exist in body in health;
they exist also in putrifying fluids and in
various diseased processes. It is doubtful
whether the virulent principle of infective.
disease is albuminous; this principle does
not reside in perfectly clear fluid which
passes through porous clay; this principle.
is soluble or at least suspended in water;
the liquid thus poisonous may be clear to
the eye, but the microscope shows gran-
ules; these granules have not produced
bacteria in a number of instances, when
they were placed in a suitable condition
to do so; satisfactory evidence has not
been brought to prove thai minute organ-
isms are the sole and sufficient causes of
disease in anthrax, or carbuncular diseases
of the French, sheep pox, small pox, ty-
phoid and relapsing fevers, etc. (A. O.,
$76, p. 256.)
