ADVERTISEMENTS. 3 PNEUMONIA AND ANTIPHLOGISTINE In view of the large and increasing mortality rate from pneumonia when treated by the ordinary methods, it behooves every practitioner to pay some heed to the results from the use of Antiphlogistine. Up-to-date doctors without number everywhere have long ago learned that the best and safest method of local treatment is Antiphlogistine. They therefore have adopted Antiphlogistine as their regular routine treatment which does not in any way interfere with internal medication. A prominent physician recently remarked, "There was a time when nearly all the children I treated for pneumonia died. In recent years they all get well. The only change made in my treatment is that I now use Antiphlogistine in every case. Draw your own conclusions." There are certainly some surprises in store for those not acquainted with the results following the proper application of Antiphlogistine in these cases. If the entire thoracic walls-front, sides and back, are covered with Antiphlogistine as hot as can be borne, fully an eighth of an inch thick and then covered with a good warm cotton-lined cheese-cloth jacket, results are immediately manifest. The pain and the rapid and difficult breathing are promptly ameliorated. The pulse improves, the temperature declines, the muscular and nervous systems relax, and the greatest of all remedial agents-rest and sleep-are invited and usually follow. This description is typical of Antiphlogistine's behavior when applied in the first stage of the disease. If these statements are true, the question is, why can any physician be found who does nor use Antiphlogistine in every case? If false, why do we find eighty per cent. or more of the physicians now looking upon Antiphlogistine as an indispensable aid for their pneumonia cases, and why do you find it in every hospital in the land? A treatment that insures such results is certainly entitled to the confidence of every practitioner. Antiphlogistine is a scientific preparation having a definite physiological action, and that its remedial value may be fully realized it should be applied with careful attention to detail. Do not try to make a small package do the work of a large package and do not apply Antiphlogistine cold, but thick and as hot as can be borne. The usual life of a dressing is twenty-four hours, but it varies, and the dressing should be removed as soon as it will peel off nicely. You say, how does Antiphlogistine bring about such favorable result? It forms the best known method of applying moist heat continuously. By stimulating the cutaneous reflexes it causes a contraction of the deep vessels and coincidently a dilation of the superficial, which action, aided by its hygroscopic virtue, produces a flushing of the superficial capillaries and thus bleeds but saves the blood, consequently relieving the overworked heart and all other associated distressing symptoms. CHARACTERISTIC TESTIMONIALS FROM COMPETENT OBSERVERS. "Many of my professional friends have used Antiphlogistine as a jacket in pneumonia and obtain excellent results. It seems to meet all requirements." • "I have used Antiphlogistine in pneumonia with gratifying results, and should dislike to treat a case without it." "From my experience with Antiphlogistine I regard it as an ideal dressing in pneumonia. It forms an application neither too wet nor too heavy and does not require to be changed as often as other applications." DENVER "I used Antiphlogistine in a case of pneu monia; patient aged sixty-eight. Applied it every ten hours warm and thick. Patient said she experienced marked relief within thirty minutes after first dressing." "Used Antiphlogistine in a case of pneumonia in girl five years of age. Temperature at time of application, 104° F. In thirty-six hours it dropped to 99° F. This is the treatment for all my future cases." The Denver Chemical Mfg. Co. Mention this journal to advertisers.
