Treatment of In Archives Medicales, Feb. 1, 1901, After-Pains. Dr. Audebert refers to the physiologic utility of the post-partum contractions of the uterine muscles in expelling fetal debris, blood clots, etc. For this reason, they should be let alone when of slight intensity, only employing slight massage to aid in the expulsion of the clots. When the pains, however, become so severe and persistent as to cause insomnia, excitement or even mild delirium, treatment is indispensable. While the sedative effects of opiates are incontestable, they suppress the ecbolic uterine contractions necessary for the normal removal of the lochia, and if continued for some time they produce constipation, which is not devoid of risk in parturient women. Often 15 Hence it is preferable to resort to other remedies, such as chloral, viburnum or antipyrin. grains of the latter is followed by prompt diminution or even disappearance of the pains. Another similar, but more effective, sedative is salophen, which relieves the pains and does not interfere with normal contractions. The dose of salophen for this purpose is 15 grains in a wafer. Within a half hour the pain becomes less intense, but if it persists at the end of two hours, a second dose may be administered. This is nearly always sufficient for the day, though one more dose may be required on the morrow. The writer reports from the obstetric clinic thirteen cases of after-pains treated successfully with salophen. In some instances the suffering was severe and had continued after the use of hot injections and antipyrin.

[Entered at the Postoffice of Denver, Colorado, as mail matter of the Second Class.] EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT. The Assassination The whole country was inexpressof the President. anarchist. ibly shocked by the news of the shooting of the President by an Mr. McKinley's irreproachable private character and his kindly nature had made him honored even by his political enemies. The crime that caused his death was as senseless as it was horrible. The course of the second bullet, as shown by the autopsy, was through both walls of the stomach, the pancreas, the top of the left kidney and on into the muscles of the back. The careful and skillful operation performed by Dr. Mann, the Buffalo surgeon, appeared for several days to have met every requirement, and the President seemed on the high road to recovery. His sudden relapse and gradual final collapse were, therefore, almost as much a shock to the nation as was the first intelligence of the wound. The negative character of the signs and symptoms involved the case at this period in considerable mystery, at least to the great body of physicians who had no access to the real information possessed on the subject by those in attendance. The autopsy, however, cleared up the diagnosis by revealing that the tract of the bullet was gangrenous throughout, and death was, therefore, unavoidable and certain from gradual asthenia, due to septicemia. As a general rule very eminent men who need medical and especially surgical attention, while they have too many doctors, often get little enough real service, for fear most likely of adverse criticism in the event of untoward accidents, such as that of dying on the operating table. Viewed from what we may know at this distance, however, it seems very probable that Mr. McKinley received the best possible care in every way; and this despite the asseverations of the omniscient reporter, who claimed that the President died of toxemia from the intestinal tract, owing to the premature administration of solid food. This, by the way, the same wise scribe who stated that Mr. McKinley was kept under the "deadening influences" of the "narcotics" strychnine and digitalis. All of which shows that it is simply impossible for the daily press to represent medical matters fairly or correctly. What Shall is The anarchist (not the socialist) is a perverted being, supremely egotistic, whose hand is against all the world except his few fellow cranks and criminals. "Beer and blood" are his motto, and when the moon is wrong he is apt to develop a sort of hydrophobia, directed specially against those individuals whom accident or merit has placed in high station. Since the days of the Inquisition, the kingdom of thought is free, and men cannot be punished for the most bizarre and outlandish views, so long as these opinions do not lead to overt acts or actual conspiracy. Yet it would seem that something should be done by way of prophylaxis to discourage the peculiar doctrines of the anarchists. Next to the love of life is the strength of the sexual instinct, and many men would rather die than lose that function around which their desires chiefly center. The |
