The Five Essentials

Use Antitoxin Early-so soon as diphtheria is suspected; this will always prevent a serious attack and reduce the mortality very close to the zero point.

All Authorities Advise Large Doses-never less than 2000 units in ordinary cases, and at least 3000 units in laryngeal cases. Repeat the injection-same quantity every six hours until the character of the pulse and respiration, the appearance of the membrane and the disappearance of symptoms of collapse show that the danger is past. No possible ill re sults can follow.

Children and Debilitated Persons Require Larger Doses of Antitoxin, because more susceptible to diphtheria; in such cases always begin with 3000 units and repeat at intervals of six hours until disease is checked.

Use Antitoxin as an Immunizing Agent to protect those exposed to contagion; 500 to 1000 units always afford immunity from diphtheria.

USE MULFORD'S ANTITOXIN; it Saves More Lives than any other serum. All Figures Prove this. Full literature mailed upon request.

VERY physician should be a subscriber to several medical journals; but the question most difficult to decide is which will be the most helpful and profitable to him? The price of the REPORTER is $1.00 per year in advance, and we endeavor to make each issue worth much more than the subscription price. It is our purpose to largely increase our subscription list and in order to do so we make the following liberal offers, which make the JOURNAL cost very little.

1. Kelly's Obstetric and Operating Pad.
Every physician should have one of these rubber pads for his
obstetric and operating outfit. This is the genuine soft rubber,
size 20x44 and retails at not less than $3.50 at any supply house.
Our price, including one year's subscription, is $3.50, with $0.40
additional for postage. If near Cleveland it can be sent by
express for less.

2.

Non-Leakable Fountain Pen.

This is one of our most desirable premiums. Every doctor uses a fountain pen, and if he can get one that will not leak, no matter what position it is in, he ought to be happy. We have such a pen-Moore's Non-Leakable-and it is guaranteed in every way. It has the following excellent features:

1st. It is filled without unscrewing the section or pulling
out the pen, thus avoiding soiling of the fingers with ink.

2nd. It is absolutely air and ink tight when not in use, and
the ink will not dry up.
3rd. It can be carried in any position, in your grip or any pocket,
and cannot leak.
4th. It has been thoroughly tested for eight years, and is
guaranteed to give satisfaction or you can have your money back.
This pen is never sold for less than $2.50. It has a hand-
somely chased pure gum rubber barrel with the highest quality
gold pen. Our price, charges prepaid, in-
cluding a year's subscription, is the retail
price, $2.50.

3. Aseptic Hypodermic Syringe.

This syringe is constructed entirely of metal and is the very latest product of the instrument-maker's art. It is absolutely aseptic, has no packings or washers and can be boiled for hours without injury. The plunger is made of German silver and is ground to fit the barrel. It is expansible so as to take up the wear, and the needle fits without a washer. The case has some new features: a hinged leaf holds Vials, Needles

and Syringe in any desired position and protects them. It is convenient, compact, substantial and aseptic. The retail price of the syringe in a six vial aluminum case and Mocha pouch is $2.25. With one year's subscription to the REPORTER we will send it, charges prepaid, for $2.50. h row away your old-style hypodermic and order one of these that will never get out of order.

It is made of pure white rubber, is fully guaranteed and is extra large, holding four quarts. Our price, charges prepaid, including a year's subscription, is $1.50.

5. Clinical Thermometer.

We do not believe that there is any journal in the country that offers a better thermometer than we do as a premium. We have selected one which you will at once recognize as standard make, the Twin Bulb Certified Clinical, cut of which we show.

The twin bulb idea has been adopted to overcome certain objections that have been raised against one-minute and half-minute thermometers of the single bulb type, which every physician knows is easily broken, difficult to read and hard to shake down. By using two bulbs several distinct advantages are gained.

1. It doubles the strength of the bulb, the weak point in every thermometer.

2. It doubles the quantity of mercury and increases the diameter of the bore, producing a broader lens and longer scale; all conducive to easy reading.

3. The bore being larger, the self-registering contraction can be more perfectly formed; this combined with the increased weight of the mercury column causes it to shake down easily.

4. The two bulbs are so joined to the tube that by holding the bulb between the thumb and index finger the lens will point toward the eye.

5. The two bulbs having a larger heating surface, are twice as sensitive and permit the use of double the quantity of mercury without increasing the time for registering. This produces the Ideal minute and half-minute thermometer that is substantial, sensitive, easy to read and easy to shake down.

No. 4

6. The Twin-Bulb Thermometers are made of the highest grade European Standardized Glass, and carefully constructed on scientific principles by the most skilled workmen that money will employ, producing a mathemati cally correct instrument that will not change with age

Each thermometer is guaranteed to correctly register the maximum temperature in sixty seconds, and is accompanied with a certified test of its accuracy.

News and Abstracts

In this department we give space to an ethical consideration of articles used by homeopathic physicians and presented to them by our advertisers. We will not print in these columns any article or referer ce which is not based upon the experience or the opinion of a physician. If our readers have anything of interest and instruction concerning any preparation, whether it is advertised in our pages or not, we would esteem it a favor to receive it.

WE INVITE THE MOST CAREFUL ATTENTION and consideration of our readers to the announcements made by our advertisers. It is our aim to keep our advertising pages clean and free from advertisements whose only excuse for their appearance in a Homeopathic journal is the money consideration back of them. The advertising department is of educational value. It keeps the profession informed as to the new remedies and appliances and brings prominently before them the representative firms who are working in their interests. We request our readers to mention the Reporter when writing to our advertisers. When writing to business houses who are not represented in our advertising pages ask them why they do not advertise in the Reporter. It will show them that we have friends and will influence them to include our journal in the allotment of their advertising. All this will help in enabling us to give you a larger and better journal for your money.

ETIOLOGY AND TREATMENT OF DIABETES MELlitus. It has been my fortune to have several cases of diabetes mellitus under my care during the past three years. I have treated them to the best of my ability, and watched them become better or worse-usually the latter-until within the last year and a half. During the past eighteen months results have been far more satisfactory than ever before.

The term diabetes mellitus is used to define only a certain stage in a train of pathologic phenomena. The stages preceding diabetes mellitus rarely come under the physician's eye, and I am of the opinion that there are few men today who are capable of stating, with any degree of certainty, that any present set of symptoms will later be transformed into that set called diabetes mellitus. I know of no other condition so common in which the minority symptoms are so little known or so seldom recognized. The reasons for this state of affairs, I be

lieve, are: first, that the symptoms are such that the patient gives them little attention; and second, that but a short time usually elapses between the first set and the appearance of the second set, called diabetes mellitus. As the knowledge of the first symptoms increases, the matter of cure will be greatly simplified, for even today we are moderately certain of a cure if the patient presents himself before the disease is very far advanced. To me the most interesting part of the study of this disease is its primary cause. In the cases examined and treated by me, I have used every effort to ascertain, in each instance, the first symptoms noticed by the patient and any preceding events of physical or mental importance to him. I have found that the patient, in many instances, gave a clear history of some event that caused him to be very greatly disturbed mentally, and that very soon thereLiter the symptoms of the diabetes became sumciently prominent to attract his attention. A few others exhibited the symptoms soon after a great gain in weight; but a history of great mental disturbance just before the first noticeable symptoms so greatly overshadowed all the others as to make them insignificant in comparison; SO marked was this that, in some instances, a pronounced case of diabetes mellitus developed within a very short time after the mental disturbance.

Suspense and great anxiety seem to be causes, rather than great joy, grief or fright. For instance, I have two well-marked cases in business men (both Hebrew), following close on the heels of business failure with the attendant mental strain. Three other cases in which the symptoms became apparent to the patient soon after several days' worry and acute mental strain over family or financial matters have recently come under my notice. Whether or not the above cited causes induced vaso-motor paralysis, I cannot say, but it seems probable. It is my opinion that close observation will re
