Rickets

reproach the medicine of our Twentieth Century. It may be questioned as to whether there should be any room in the nosology for such a disorder. In other words, there is no excuse for any failure in maintaining the physiological balance of healthy nutrition. That agency which arms Nature with the force and power to procure the full food assimilation, and the transformation of the food elements into living tissues, is the same factor that should eliminate from the blood those materials which go to form the various secretions in the great secretory organs of the system, and that should effect a storage of animal fuel for purposes of combustion. Under modern conditions of life it is insured and made indispensable by increasing nerve influence, nerve force, and nerve control. And this increase being fully effected, and the general metabolism of the body provided for, there is no more excuse for a failure to erect and maintain the osseus structure than there would be for failure to maintain the alkalinity of the blood. If the Science of Therapeutics had done nothing else, its office in showing that phosphorus oxidation plays the one important part in the metabolism of tissue would be enough. And with the McArthur Chemically Pure Syrup of the Hypophosphites as the perfection of phosphorus compounds, what is American Medicine thinking of to permit of rickets? The disorder is a characteristic proof of disturbed metabolism, and the hypophosphites of lime and soda are the ever-active agents in correcting that disturbance, and in promoting the healthful and normal composition of bone, blood, and nerve substance. The effects of the Syrup are manifest in the bone tissues, through their vascular and nervous supplies, and in the ingredients of their growth and repair. There is no more sound medical and scientific ground for the use of the Syrup than in the prophylaxis and cure of rickets; and it must be tolerably evident that where a mis-shapen, rachitic body is to be seen, the family physician is behind the times and does not know that the Syrup is not more advantageously prescribed an any derangement. The record of cures is large, and the emphasis which is being placed upon its exhibition is of that character which accentuates medical progress. At the same time that note is made of the worth of the Syrup in influence on osseus growth, it is also to be noted that it causes that rise in blood-pressure which is essential to osseus health.
