DYSEMIA. Dr. Louis J. Gravel, physician-in-chief to the Hotel Dieu Hospital and Chief of the Laboratory, Montreal, Canada, says that the treatment of anamia, or, as he prefers to call it, dysemia, consists in a nutritious dietary, fresh air and sunshine in connection with the administration of iron supplemented occasionally with arsenic. Hydrotherapy is a very valuable auxiliary in some cases. The patient should rest as much as possible and in severe cases should take a vacation in the mountains. Having had his attention directed to Pepto-Mangan through the reports of leading authorities in European and American journals, he subjected it to a thorough test in the Hotel Dieu Hospital, Montreal, and has briefly recorded the histories of a number of typical cases in order to demonstrate its efficiency in dysemia, as shown by the rapid increase of the hamoglobin percentage and number of red blood-cells. (From the Charlotte Medical Journal.) Dr. William Krauss, of Memphis, Tenn., reviews briefly a part of the literature on Pepto-Mangan and concludes with the following sentence: "Since there is no official preparation which meets these requirements, the manufacturers of Pepto-Mangan deserve all the credit which the product has earned for them."
