This resembles mother's milk, not only in the proportion of the constituents, but I am convinced that the proteids resemble greatly. In some samples of milk we would have to modify the above formula as it would contain too much fat. It is impossible to give a formula without first knowing the per cent of fat in the milk and the specific gravity as well as the per cent. of fat in the cream, but if we have this data we can supply a milk from which (except a small per cent.) the caseinogen has been removed, that will contain the required amount of proteids in a digestible form. I have said nothing of sterilizing, and have on purpose left this out of the discussion. The best method is not to heat the milk, as when you get above 130 degrees F. coagulation begins in the albumen. I know this is not according to the authorities as they say heating to 170 degrees or 165 degrees does not change the proteids, but this is easily demonstrated. If you have a pure milk, or if you can control the method in which the milking is done, there is no reason why the milk has to be sterilized. The curd will remove a great number of bacteria, but it is much better not to have them in the milk to begin with. As I before remarked, this paper discusses the feeding of healthy children only, so, for this reason, I did not recommend sterilizing the whey. When there is irritation or inflammation in the intestinal tract then a small number of bacteria in the food would do harm, but if the child begins healthy, or is restored healthy by the proper treatment, then the proteids that have not been heated over 100 degrees F. will nourish the child much better. I shall not tire you with cases, as a few dozen would prove nothing, but simply say that in my hands milk modified by this method has given me, in the majority of cases, good results. I wish to thank Prof. Kingsbury for the use of his private laboratory, as well as Mr. Hadley for his valuable assistance. TYPHOID FEVER. By LEO B. AUERBACH, M.D., Ward, Colorado. There have been many cases of typhoid fever during the last year, not only in Denver, but in almost every town in the state. Even out on the plains, among the farmers, typhoid fever has been unusually frequent. Typhoid fever is a disease that is always with us. It is a disease that is here, and is here to stay. Much may be done by proper sanitary measures to prevent ty phoid fever, but, in all probability, instead of this fever, except in epidemic form, growing less, it will most certainly be on the increase. The population of the United States is rapidly increas ing and we will, therefore, have greater pollution of our streams and water sources. The treatment of typhoid fever in the past, as at the present time, consists in doing nothing, as well as in doing everything; that is, there are some physicians who believe that typhoid fever, outside of careful nursing and proper diet. does not require treatment. There are others who drug their patients with almost everything that has been recommended or suggested. Recently a new remedy, known as Viskolein, has come into vogue. With some physicians this treatment is regarded as almost, if not quite, a specific in the treatment of typhoid. I have tried Viskolein recently in a few cases of typhoid, one in particular; the case from the very outset presented the usual characteristics and symptoms which leads a physician to believe that it was likely to be, not only a typical but a severe case of typhoid. The Viskolein treatment was carried out to the fullest extent; I must say that the course of the fever was mild and the patient made an excellent convalescence, without any of the bad sequela that usually accompany or most certainly follow severe cases of typhoid. I merely call attention to this case, and to the use of Viskolein, that the profession may know that there is such a remedy, and, if they see fit, give it a trial. I am not one of those who believe in proprietary medicines or take up every new treatment or remedy that comes along, and I merely refer to Viskolein in the treatment of typhoid as I would to the salicylate of soda in the treatment of rheumatism, or to mercury and iodide of potash in the treatment of syphilis. The only objection that I find to the treatment of typhoid by the Viskolein method, is that the physician must visit his patient several times a day and that if results are to be obtained the physician must conduct and direct the treatment himself and not trust it to the friends of the patient; possibly a trained nurse might be competent to carry out the treatment. In a second case of typhoid fever my results were not so good, but I believe that the failure in this patient was due partly to the fact that I trusted the treatment to a sister of the sick woman, and, second, that I withdrew the Viskolein too soon. It is important to continue to give full doses of the medicine until the temperature is completely controlled and for several days thereafter.

The leaves have gone to south for their health, and grass, the birds have flown the mercury waneth to zero. As the ocean is made up of water-drops, even so time's infinity is nothing more than an aggregate of little, living, priceless, present minutes-all else is but remembrance or anticipation. We, the true ancients, standing at the pinnacle of the centuries, are apt to look back with a smile of amused derision upon the ideas and doings of our child-like forefathers. Yet, after all, our boasted progress has been mainly one of environments. Man as man remains much the same in all ages-the same foibles and follies, passions and prejudices, mingled fatuity and divine intuition. Neither should we boast too loudly of our modern accomplishments, for even the |
