== Edward Gamaliel Janeway, M.D. ==
This justly celebrated American physician, who achieved an international reputation because of his skill as a pathologist and diagnostician, passed away on Feb. 10, 1911, at the age of 70. His medical course, which he commenced in 1860 at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, was interrupted by the civil war, in which he took part as an acting medical cadet. He later graduated from the above institution and at once established himself in New York City where he continued in active practice almost up to the time of his death. His career was one of rapid advancement and it has been given to but few physicians to embrace and so thoroughly take advantage of the many opportunities afford-ed him for both public and private service. As teacher, author, sanitary authority, and hospital attendant and consultant he became widely known and justly famous. Probably no other physician in the Easter Section of our country was so often sought after as diagnostician and consult-ant among all classes of people and by his pro-fessional colleagues generally. HIs loss will no doubt be seriously felt by his patients, by the many physicians who have been accustomed to call upon him for advice and assistance, as well as by the many public hospitals and institutions with which he was connected and to which he devoted so much of his valuable time.

To Repair Corpuscular Disintegration is the urgent indication after the destruction of the parasites, in malarial infection. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) initiates and accomplishes hematic renconstruction, as it acts as a creator of new red blood cells and a re-creator of those partially destroyed. It also stimulates the for mation of hemoglobin and acts as a general tonic reconstituent.

=== A Bedside Widal Test. ===
Dr. G. Gilman reports a bedside method of Widal testing which comsumes little time and gives results withing a few hours. The test solution is a formalized culture of the typhoid bacillus, which can be procured from any pathological laboratory and will keep any lenght of time. In a small vial are placed 48 drops of the test solution, and to this are added two drops of the patient's blood. The tube is corked, well shaken, and set aside for three to five hours. A clear supernatant liquid indicates positive, a turbid liquid a negative reaction. The same technique may be used for other agglutination tests.
Weather Temp.

=== "Facile Princeps" in its Class. ===
The ever-present problem of how best to restore the vitality and resistance of the exhausted patient must include a consideration of the preferable hematinic. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is "easily leader" in this field, as it is at once palatable, tolerable, non-irritant, non-corrosive, non-constipating, almost immediately absorbable, and promptly efficient in blood reconstruction.
Weather Temp
Cold and very bright. I took Grace and took my music lesson. Pa took grist to mill and went to Shed's this afternoon. Mother and I went to Kingsmill Aunt Bell and Uncle Levis were here for a few minutess this afternoon.

=== Syphilo-Dermo-Urologic Aphorisms. ===
Theoretically, the detection of stone in the bladder is a comparatively easy maneuvre.
Occasionally, the symptoms described by the patient point to vesical calculus and, despite all efforts, it cannot be detected by the sound. This may be occasioned by the fact that the stone has lodged behind the prostate. By tilting the hips well up above the level of the shoulders the calculus may become dislodged, roll down to the base of the bladder, and then be easily found.—Amer.
Journ. of Derm.
Weather Temp
Fine but cold. Pa went to town and got Mike shed. Eugene and Aleta were here for dinner, about 4 o' clock. Baby stayed while they went to town. Grace invited me to come out and stay till Sunday. Alma and Claske brought Maud in some candies, then went on to town.

=== A Quick and Satisfactory Way. ===
To revive, restore and reconstruct one should preferably begin at the foundation. In almost every case of systemic depletion the blood is "below par." There is no quicker or more satisfactory way of reparative process than by starting up the reparative process than by means of Pepto-Mangan (Gude).This palatable and tolerable combination of iron and manganese in organic form is a veritable "prop" to the functionally disturbed blood.

=== Treatment of Pneumonia. ===
The great needs of the body in pneumonia are plenty of air, water and rest. Over-feeding and wrong feeding ar
responsible for a loss of energy used up in an attempt to digest, assimilate, and excrete unsuitable foods. Meat broths are not useful because they make no energy and tax the kidneys. Sugar is a valuable energy-producing food and leaves nothing but water and carbon dioxide to be eliminated. Failure to keep the patient in a horizontal position so as to aid the heart in carrying on the circulation is responsible for many deaths.—Dr. G. Werley: The Hospital.
Weather Temp.
Nice day, but cloudy towards night. Sprinkle rain this evening. Ms. Coy, Cecil, Clarence helped Pa kill two pigs before dinner. Father {reshape?} the roads to-day. Mother and I racked the yard and had bon fises. Took and went for Grace. Eugene was her to-night. Ms. Coy came over and helped take in pigs. Then Cecil ame latter.

=== Tardy Recovery ===
from the depleting effects of a constitutional infection is especially characteristic of La Grippe convalescence. While immediately restorative measures are often indicated to combat prostration, a hematinic reconstituent is also needed. Pepto-Mangan (Gude), to which the proper dose of strychnine is added, is a peculiarly efficient reconstructive in such cases.

=== Ether-Practical Administration. No. 2, ===
Except when specifically contraindicated a thorough cleansing of the intestinal tract is of manifest advantage. The administration of a mild purgative one or two nights previous and an enema several hours before the operation is good routine. But an enema, improperly given as to method or too late as to time, may be productive of much annoyance during the operation.—Dr. J. B. Bogan; N. Y. Med. Journ.

=== A Non-Irritating Depilatory. ===
Depilatories containing the sulphides of barium, strontium and calcium and an inactive substance like chalk, talc or starch are extremely irritating to the skin. This can be avoided by preparing them hot. To prepare such mixtures 1.5 grams of strontium, or an equivalent quantity of barium or calcium sulphide, are triturated with 2 grams of starch and & grams of water and the mixture heated to boiling, with continuous stirring. Upon cooling, a creamy mixture is obtained, which is as efficacious as the mixture prepared in the cold and does not hurt the skin.—Med. Brief.

=== Indications of Vitality. ===
Forcefulness and energy are the attributes of good health and serve as indications of the vitality and sufficiency of the blood. Lack of force and reduced energy, in a large majority of instances, indicate a more or less devitalized blood stream. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) raises the blood standard by supplying the essential material (iron and manganese) for increasing the solid, vital elements of the blood—the red cells and hemoglobin.

Freund describes an ingenious method of treating asphyxia neonatorum. He calls the method placental aëration. The placenta is delivered manually as soon as the child is born and is seen to be asphyxiated. The child is placed in warm water and the placenta held with the maternal surface up-ward, the cord not being cut as yet. A stream of oxygen is turned on to the maternal surface of the placenta, whereupon the child recovers its color, the pulse comes up and respiration is established. Then the cord is cut.-Critic and Guide.

They also show that in infancy nephritis rarely produces edema, while conversely, edema in infancy is usually due to some cause other than disease of the kidneys.

1. Earache is but a warning of perhaps dangerous disease, the pain of which may be masked by opiates to the ultimate risk of the patient's life.
2. If the drum-head be much reddened or bulging, or if fluid be detected, or if the earache be very severe and not relieved by general and local treatment within 24 hours, it is advisable to incise the membrane at once before it bursts, as the character, location and extent of the tissue-destruction is thereby limited
3. Pain is relieved at once by a free incision, the course of the disease is shortened, the symptoms mitigated, and sequela prevented by this and appropriate after-treatment.—H. V.

5. The little operation gives but temporary pain, and if the physician does not make too much of a show. will be tolerated by any patient, who will be thankful for the relief afforded

=== Syphilo-Dermo-Urologic Aphorisms. ===
The accurate determination of a syphilitic roseola is, at times, a difficult matter for an inexperienced hand to diag-nose. In such a case the erythematous macules, produced by the bites of insects, closely simulate the specific eruption and a little attention will enable anyone to easily differen-tiate the two. Subjectively, the insect-bite itches, the leutic eruption does not; objectively, the former has a bright scarlet punctum near the center, the latter does not. Naturally concomitant symptoms of syphilis will aid in corroborating the diagnosis.-Amer. Journ. of Derm.

The presence throughout of stertor or a slight degree of cyanosis need not alarm unduly, but should certainly cause increased watchfulness sinc. its presence is always indicative of obstruction to the passage of air, though such interference may be exceedingly slight. Many of the more ple-thoric exhibit cyanosis from the initiation and throughout the anesthesia without apparent significance, but in the arterio-sclerotic cyanosis is apt to be the precursor of danger. Of especial importance in all such cases is the dictum to give the "minimum amount of ether necessary to attain the desired end"-Dr. J. B. Bogan: N. Y. Med. Journ.

When dealing with the bladder, it must always be borne in mind that this viscus is very susceptible to irritative in-fuences, and that an inflammation may be easily brought on. It is principally for this reason that the residual urine, that is in it, must be completely removed before making any instillations of nitrate of silver or other medicated solutions. Unless this precaution is taken untoward symptoms of a marked character will set in and ultimately lead to the development of a chronic cystitis which, in itself, is a most troublesome and inconvenient condition, often requiring a surgical operation.—Amer.

=== Quantitative Anemia ===
is that condition of bloodlessness due to actual loss of volume of the circulating fluid. After the loss has been checked, Pepto-Mangan (Gude) performs "yeoman's service" by creating hemoglobin and constructing new red cells. It is palatable, readily absorbable, promptly tolera-ble, and free from constipating effect.

=== Ether-Practical Administration. No. 14. ===
After the operation is over and the ether withdrawn, the management of the case continues to be of vital importance. Some one should remain with the patient until he is rational. The room should be darkened and quiet. A dry gown and warm bedding should be provided. Liquids may be allowed early. Should there be great thirst, the result of excessive vomiting, salt solution by rectum will relieve. The subsequent diet should be governed by the nature of the opertion, permitting a full diet as soon as the best interests of the patient allow.—Dr. J. B. Bogan; N. Y. Med. Journ.

=== Syphilis vs. Tuberculosis of the Larynx. ===
The character of the voice will aid in the diagnosis. In tuberculosis the voice is weak, often a mere whisper, but in syphilis the voice is strong but hoarse.
The cough of phthisis is more troublesome and characteristic than the syphilitic cough; the expectoration is more profuse, and complete aphonia, which is common in tuberculosis and sometimes comes on comparatively early in the disease, is quite rare in syphilis. The pain in advanced cases of tuberculosis of the larynx is much greater and more distressing than in a case of syphilis.—Dr. Henry Parrish; New York Med. Journ.

When a patient is entering, or has entered into the second. ary stage of syphilis, care should always be taken to examine his eyes, as well as his eye-lids. This is the period when iritis, conjunctivitis, and other symptoms of the infection, are prone to declare themselves. It is well to discover these, in time, because remedial measures are then of more use than later on, when the pathological changes have become more pronounced.-Amer. Journ. of Derm.

The iritis which occurs in the course of syphilis is, as a rule, of that variety known as plastic. This form is one that is also seen, in some cases, as an accompaniment of interstitial keratitis, in congenital syphilis. An uncommon form of syphilitic iritis is that observed in late secondary or in tertiary lues. In this form there exist yellowish-red nodules near the pupillary and ciliary borders of the iris, but not in the intermediate zone. The circumcorneal injection of blood-vessels will also be noted.-Amer. Journ. of Derm.

=== Surgical Suggestions. ===
A uniform enlargement of one buttock, developing spontaneously and not of subcutaneous origin, is probably due to a subgluteal lipoma. Here, too, however, a hydroma must be thought of. A psoas abscess occasionally points in the outer part of the groin (i. e., close to the anterior spine of the ilium). When there is no evident spinal deformity to suggest the diagnosis the swelling is apt to be mistaken for a growth.- Amer. Journ. of Surg.

=== Increased Oxygenating Capacity ===
must be imparted to the blood stream to relieve Anemia and allied conditions. A relative deficiency of oxygen is usually due to a lack of hemoglobin and erythrocytes, the oxygen-bearing elements of the circulating fluid. Pepto-Mangan (Gude), by virtue of its promptly available organic iron and manganese, efficiently stimulates the formation of the essential blood-enriching constituents, and thus insures a better supply of oxygen to cell and tissue.

The dilator, as in common use, is a dangerous instrument, those with a screw-lock even more so than those where manual force is used. The shanks ought to be parallel; if they diverge at this point, the instrument is liable to tear the uterine tissue opposite the os internum, the rent may extend into the free abdominal cavity, but usually runs into the broad ligament. Dressing forceps used in the endeavor to remove débris are risky, when pointed. Severe injuries, such as piercing the uterus and bringing down through the rent a loop of in-testine, have been reported.—Dr. F. Foerster; Am. Journ. of Clin. Med.

It should not be forgotten that a syphilitic mucous patch comes suddenly in the form of one or of several lesions.

=== Adhesive Plaster in Wound Dressing. ===
In applying adhesive plaster to retain dressings following a surgical operation, the surgeon is frequently annoyed by the failure of the plaster to stick to the skin. This difficulty can readily be overcome by spraying with ether the surface to which the plaster is to be applied. The ether causes the skin to dry quickly and the adhesive plaster quickly takes hold. Cotton should always be placed on the gauze. By so doing, the plaster not in, contact with the skin run be readily turned back by cutting in the centre. The dressing can be changed, and by the us of tape the adhesive bar lage is again adjusted, thus avoiding the annoyance and pain of removing the plaster at each dressing.—Dr. John.

=== Nose and Throat Aphorisms. ===
After removing polypi do not dauterize stumps. Inflammation may set in and cause septic meningitis.
Before operating on the turbinate bones give for three days ten grains of sodium bromide twice a day. This will reduce hemorrhage.
Pus between middle turbinate and outer wall of nose may be due to frontal sinusitis. In acute disease of the frontal sinus there is a marked increase of pain on blowing the nose.
Pus between middle turbinate and septum is probably due to inflammation of sphenoidal sinus.-Med. Council.

A swelling in the inguinal region that is painful to the touch should be very carefully examined as it may be one of several conditions, each of which has a certain degree of impor-tance. Of course, the condition will be called an inguinal adenitis which it may or may not be. If the swelling is red, tender and fluctuating, it is apt to be a chancroidal bubo. Look for the chancre. If the color is bluish, the pain on pressure intense and there is no fluctuation, the lesion is probably a gonorrheal bubo. If the pain is marked, the color of the skin normal, look for an inflamed undescended testicle. -Amer. Journ, of Derm.

=== To Toughen the Nipples. ===
The best application to toughen the nipples previous to confinement is the glycerite of tannin. This is readily made extemporaneously, in any physician's office, by heating glycerin and stirring in tannic acid till the mixture has the consistency of thick syrup. It is better prepared in a tin box, as it is difficult to mix properly in a bottle. This is applied. by rubbing in thoroly, pulling and kneading gently at the nipple, for ten minutes night and morning, for two months previous to confinement —Med World

In antrum suppuration, if the nose is thoroughly cleansed, Howering the patient's head for five minutes will cause pus to flow into it. In opening antrum place a piece of cotton saturated with no per cent. solution of cocaine under the inferior turbinate on affected side for ten minutes, then remove and place trocar under turbinate with point one inch from entrance to nostril, turn point upward and outward and push through into antrum. If right spot is selected no difficulty will be encountered. Then wash with solution desired —Med Council.

In cases of intestinal obstruction never omit a thorough examination for the possible presence of hernia. Unless this is done, small ruptures of which the patient was entirely unaware may be overlooked.
A good anesthetic mixture for local anesthesia, as in incision of the drum membrane in otitis media, consists of equal parts of cocain, carbolic acid and menthol. This has been found very satisfactory by Dr. E. C. Ellett.-Int. Journ. of Surg.

Judd has obtained excellent results by swabbing the affected area and for a half-inch margin beyond with 95 per cent. solution of carbolic acid until moderate blanching of the tissues occurs, then swabbing with pure alcohol until whitened arca becomes pink again. Only small portions should be treated at a time, and usually one application is
required.-Erch.

=== The Hot Water Bottle. ===
The hot water bottle may be made to serve several useful purposes. Filled with small pieces of cracked ice, it takes the place of an ice cap. In congestive headaches it may be filled with cold water and applied to the forehead or back of the neck. After using a hot water bottle and it has been drained by hanging mouth downward, it should be inflated with air before screwing the plug. This keeps the walls from collapsing and sticking, thus causing disintegration of the rubber. Rubber goods shouid be kept dry, and wrinkling so far as possible prevented --Medical Summary

=== Non-Operative Cure of Hemorrhoids. ===
J. Toth calls attention to a simple means of keeping hemorrhoids under control, and finally curing them, by gentle, constant compression. This is accomplished, he says, by means of a rather loose pledget of absorbent cotton, not larger than a large pea, which is introduced into the anus between the internal and external sphincters. Under the influence of the compression the varicose enlargement of the veins at this point retrogresses and the hemorrhoids become obliterated -Wicn. Med. Woch.

<p>This justly celebrated American physician, who achieved an international reputation because of his skill as a pathologist and diagnostician, passed away on Feb. 10, 1911, at the age of 70. His medical course, which he commenced in 1860 at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, New York, was interrupted by the civil war, in which he took part as an acting medical cadet. He later graduated from the above institution and at once established himself in New York City where he continued in active practice almost up to the time of his death. His career was one of rapid advancement and it has been given to but few physicians to embrace and so thoroughly take advantage of the many opportunities afford-ed him for both public and private service. As teacher, author, sanitary authority, and hospital attendant and consultant he became widely known and justly famous. Probably no other physician in the Easter Section of our country was so often sought after as diagnostician and consult-ant among all classes of people and by his pro-fessional colleagues generally. HIs loss will no doubt be seriously felt by his patients, by the many physicians who have been accustomed to call upon him for advice and assistance, as well as by the many public hospitals and institutions with which he was connected and to which he devoted so much of his valuable time.

<p>Dr. G. Gilman reports a bedside method of Widal testing which comsumes little time and gives results withing a few hours. The test solution is a formalized culture of the typhoid bacillus, which can be procured from any pathological laboratory and will keep any lenght of time. In a small vial are placed 48 drops of the test solution, and to this are added two drops of the patient's blood. The tube is corked, well shaken, and set aside for three to five hours. A clear supernatant liquid indicates positive, a turbid liquid a negative reaction. The same technique may be used for other agglutination tests.

Occasionally, the symptoms described by the patient point to vesical calculus and, despite all efforts, it cannot be detected by the sound.

<p>Illustrating the well-known physiological law that the frequency of the pulse rate increases in inverse ratio to the size of the animal, a writer in a recent number of Cosmos (Paris) gives the following interesting conclusions in comparative physiology:
The average pulse rate was 30 pulsations per minute for elephant; 40 in the horse; 50 in the ass and mule; 70 in man; go in the dog; 150 to 200 in the rabbit; 670 in the mouse.
The ratio of 4 to I between pulse and respiration is maintained throughout.—Jour. Nat. Med. Asso.

Use a syringe or douche nozzle that snugly fits the naris. Begin gently and slowly, then increase the force. As the resistance suddenly ceases, the foreign body is shot out (or at least is dislodged) by the pressure of the fluid reflected from the posterior wall of the pharynx.—Amer. Journ. of Surg.

<p>In applying adhesive plaster to retain dressings following a surgical operation, the surgeon is frequently annoyed by the failure of the plaster to stick to the skin. This difficulty can readily be overcome by spraying with ether the surface to which the plaster is to be applied. The ether causes the skin to dry quickly and the adhesive plaster quickly takes hold. Cotton should always be placed on the gauze. By so doing, the plaster not in, contact with the skin run be readily turned back by cutting in the centre. The dressing can be changed, and by the us of tape the adhesive bar lage is again adjusted, thus avoiding the annoyance and pain of removing the plaster at each dressing.—Dr. John.

<p>When dressing a freely suppurating wound of one of the extremities it is much better to apply the gauze in flat pads than in circular turns. Soiled gauze wound about an extremity cannot well be removed in a cleanly fashion; and, too, circular turns tend, by spreading the pus over the skin, to set up a pustular dermatitis.—Amer.

=== Diagnosis of Alcoholic Coma. ===
By firm pressure upon the supra-orbital notches, compressing the nerves, a diagnosis of alcoholism may with absolute certainty be made in a few seconds. A case of alcoholism pure and simple will, upon the application of this pressure, immediately show very evident signs of life, and, be the coma ever so deep, the effect of the alcohol will for a short time be sufficiently removed to permit of a rapid and thorough examination. The absence of result from this pressure is a sure indication of cerebral trouble due to head injury, or disease, or of narcotic poisoning.<i>--Clinical Memoranda, Brand & Keith.</i>
<b>Weather</b> Very cold <Temp.</b><br>We washed. John & Albert sawed wood down in the woods this afternoon.

=== Foreign Bodies in the Nose. ===
A long-standing purulent discharge from one nostril oc-curring in a child is a pathognomonic sign of a foreign body in that situation. If the discharge is very offensive, then foreign body will be found to be porous, capable of absorbing and retaining fluids in its substance. The ordinary ozaena occurring in children invariably affects, before long, both nasal cavities.-Clinical Memoranda, Brand & Keith

=== Gastric Aphorisms - No. 2. ===
As an aid in distinguishing between appendicitis and cecum impaction it is interesting to note that in the former com-plete extension of the leg is painful, while the latter com-plete flexion of the leg on the abdomen causes pain. Clinical observations in many quarters tend to show the stomach does not entirely empty itself as promptly as here-tofore supposed. So that mere retention of five or six hours may indicate nothign more than a degree of atonicity.-Bell; Med. Herald.
=== Weather Temp. ===

=== Always in Order. ===
An over-excessive blood loss at the menstrual period, frequently leads to a considerable degree of Anemia, and an efficient hematinic is always in order. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is not only efficient in the way of overcoming the anemic condition, but is also pleasant to take, free from irritant or disturbing action upon the digestion, and de-void of constipating effect.
=== Weather Temp. ===

=== Shock. ===
Gray, discussing the prevention of shock, urges that the operation be performed as soon as the decision to operate is made. Useless delay in the matter is a potent cause of shock. Instruments must be sharp, and as little handling of tissues as possible should be done. As to the choice of an anesthetic, he favors ether by the open method. Chloroform, he says, is fast becoming obsolete. He urges a local anesthetic in every case where it is feasible.-Brit. Med. Journ.
=== Weather Temp. ===
Quite warm thawed all day Maudie & I went to Aplolier, John took a load of cats to Dr Piekering

=== The Significance of Jaundice. ===
"The appearance of jaundice, even with absence of any gen-eral disturbance, is always a warning to be cautious; it de-mands that its cause should be discovered, and that the patient be kept under observation, while a corresponding suitable diet and mode of life should be prescribed; for diseases of the bile passages that may appear of little importance may lead to serious disease of liver (acute atrophy), which, consider-ing the importance of the organ in the economy of the body, may be very dangerous."-Hoppe-Seyler; Med. Press.
=== Weather Temp. ===
A lovely warm day, we raised the washing, I washed outside, an the back stop, Melba took Grace & Dad went for her, Melba & I went to hear Dr Serby we tune in the Baptist Church, when we came home Maudie had to feinting spell. It has turned cold & a high wind to night at home

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Diagnosis_of_Alcoholic_Coma.">Diagnosis of Alcoholic Coma.</span></h3>
<p>By firm pressure upon the supra-orbital notches, compressing the nerves, a diagnosis of alcoholism may with absolute certainty be made in a few seconds. A case of alcoholism pure and simple will, upon the application of this pressure, immediately show very evident signs of life, and, be the coma ever so deep, the effect of the alcohol will for a short time be sufficiently removed to permit of a rapid and thorough examination. The absence of result from this pressure is a sure indication of cerebral trouble due to head injury, or disease, or of narcotic poisoning.<i>--Clinical Memoranda, Brand & Keith.</i>

<p>A long-standing purulent discharge from one nostril oc-curring in a child is a pathognomonic sign of a foreign body in that situation. If the discharge is very offensive, then foreign body will be found to be porous, capable of absorbing and retaining fluids in its substance. The ordinary ozaena occurring in children invariably affects, before long, both nasal cavities.-Clinical Memoranda, Brand & Keith

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Gastric_Aphorisms_-_No._2.">Gastric Aphorisms - No. 2.</span></h3>
<p>As an aid in distinguishing between appendicitis and cecum impaction it is interesting to note that in the former com-plete extension of the leg is painful, while the latter com-plete flexion of the leg on the abdomen causes pain. Clinical observations in many quarters tend to show the stomach does not entirely empty itself as promptly as here-tofore supposed. So that mere retention of five or six hours may indicate nothign more than a degree of atonicity.-Bell; Med. Herald.

<p>An over-excessive blood loss at the menstrual period, frequently leads to a considerable degree of Anemia, and an efficient hematinic is always in order. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is not only efficient in the way of overcoming the anemic condition, but is also pleasant to take, free from irritant or disturbing action upon the digestion, and de-void of constipating effect.

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Shock.">Shock.</span></h3>
<p>Gray, discussing the prevention of shock, urges that the operation be performed as soon as the decision to operate is made. Useless delay in the matter is a potent cause of shock. Instruments must be sharp, and as little handling of tissues as possible should be done. As to the choice of an anesthetic, he favors ether by the open method. Chloroform, he says, is fast becoming obsolete. He urges a local anesthetic in every case where it is feasible.-Brit. Med. Journ.

<p>"The appearance of jaundice, even with absence of any gen-eral disturbance, is always a warning to be cautious; it de-mands that its cause should be discovered, and that the patient be kept under observation, while a corresponding suitable diet and mode of life should be prescribed; for diseases of the bile passages that may appear of little importance may lead to serious disease of liver (acute atrophy), which, consider-ing the importance of the organ in the economy of the body, may be very dangerous."-Hoppe-Seyler; Med.

<b>"Our doctors say this is no month to bleed"</b>
<i>--Shakespeare</i>
The old barber-surgeons of the poet's time were more intrested in "letting" than in "building blood". The era of the depressing antiphlogistic regimen has gradually given place to the more emintently practical period of reconstructive therapy. The conservation, not the destruction of the integrity of the vital fluid is now the primary aim of the intelligent physican.
Pepto Mange (GUDE)
is the most eligble modern weapon wherewith no combat the blood devitalization of the depleted anemic. It furnishes the ever neccasary material wherewith conserve, repair nd reconstruct red cells and hemoglobin. It is an organic combination of iron and manganese, free from irratant or astrigant properties and in shape for immediate systemic apporation.

</p><p>The old barber-surgeons of the poet's time were more intrested in "letting" than in "building blood". The era of the depressing antiphlogistic regimen has gradually given place to the more emintently practical period of reconstructive therapy. The conservation, not the destruction of the integrity of the vital fluid is now the primary aim of the intelligent physican.
</p><p>Pepto Mange (GUDE)
</p><p>is the most eligble modern weapon wherewith no combat the blood devitalization of the depleted anemic. It furnishes the ever neccasary material wherewith conserve, repair nd reconstruct red cells and hemoglobin. It is an organic combination of iron and manganese, free from irratant or astrigant properties and in shape for immediate systemic apporation.

=== Diagnosis of Alcoholic Coma. ===
By firm pressure upon the supre-orbtial notches, compress-ing the nerves, a diagnosis of alcoholism may with absolute certainty be made in a few seconds. A case of alcoholism pure and simple will, upon the application of this pressure, immediately show very evident signs of life, and, be the coma ever so deep, the effect of the alcohol will for a short time be sufficiently removed to permit of a rapid and thorough ex-amination. The absence of result from this pressure is a sure indication of cerebral trouble due to head injury, or dis-ease, or of narcotic poisoning.-Clinical Memoranda, Brand & Keith.
=== Weather Temp. ===
Girls & Evelin went to church. Diden't go to Sunday School, as the other girls was taking their turns. Lewis & Bell was here for dinner. Girls drove the buggy.

=== The Neurotic Patient ===
almost always presents a deficiency of the vital elements of the blood, i.e., the essential erythrocytes and their con-tained hemoglobin. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) overcomes the blood poverty that is so often responsible for neurasthenic conditions, by supplying the immediately available ferric and manganic elements necessary to true hemic recon-struction.
=== Weather Temp. ===
Snowed all the fournoon good wheeling, but true drives the sleighs. I washed but hung my clothes on the verandah. John bred three boast holes, said that the ground was but very little frozen. John was to Mr Doses this afternoon. Mr Gop was over this evening.

Some Common Knee Affections—No. 2.
From an etiological standpoint this broad distinction may be made between diseases of childhood and those of adult life. In the former as a rule the bacillus of tuberculosis is the all-important factor. In the latter trauma is the most important.

Med. Journ.

<p>By firm pressure upon the supre-orbtial notches, compress-ing the nerves, a diagnosis of alcoholism may with absolute certainty be made in a few seconds. A case of alcoholism pure and simple will, upon the application of this pressure, immediately show very evident signs of life, and, be the coma ever so deep, the effect of the alcohol will for a short time be sufficiently removed to permit of a rapid and thorough ex-amination. The absence of result from this pressure is a sure indication of cerebral trouble due to head injury, or dis-ease, or of narcotic poisoning.-Clinical Memoranda, Brand & Keith.

</p><p>Some Common Knee Affections—No. 2.
From an etiological standpoint this broad distinction may be made between diseases of childhood and those of adult life. In the former as a rule the bacillus of tuberculosis is the all-important factor. In the latter trauma is the most important. Lest the statement may be regarded as too sweeping, let me add that trauma plays a very important role in the causation of exacerbations in the tuberculous diseases of bones in children, and that the object of treatment is to avoid and minimize the effects of trauma intrinsic, and extrinsic.—Hunter; Mass.

after leaving here we passed the Riverside Cement plant, it is a large plant. with a capacity
of 6500 barrels cement a day. is built right on the side of a mountain. which they claim is a
regular mountain of cement. (there is also another plant at Colton 10 miles from here)

few miles. along here nothing much growing. some fields of grain a few inches high and
look as if they were burning up. for want of rain. when we got off at Fontana, it looked like a
very dismal place, all sand like the desert. the place has just started. only a few houses a
new station a school. and a large Packing house. one store. we started out for a walk.
nothing but sand. saw a man who had 1500 young chlckens. 5 weeks old. sat down under a
22
�shade tree when a couple of men from the Coy's office came along and asked us to go for a
ride. This company ha{s} 18000 acres of Groves & Vineyar{ds} etc. and are selling off part

business have thousands of white Leghorns also hatch chickens and sell to you for 20 and

saw through it & saw some chickens just hatching. they turn the eggs 5 times each 24
hours. and can turn the 48000 in five minutes (turned with a crank) called at the office.
they would like very much to get your money, but off course you had to buy quick as they
are nearly sold out. one benefit they claim they have loads of water always they irrigate
grapes from 3 to 5 times a year. Cost only about $15.00 per acre takes $2.50 an acre.
Claim they can get 6½ tons per acre of some Kinds. they grow mostly wine & table grapes

large discs and a wheel to pack it over) drawn by a tractor. took a snap of it also a snap of
the orchard the apricots were in blossom, they sure trim the trees back, one reason the

sun scalding. he said they have been very cheap. some old as low as $10 00 per ton
should have $30.00 to a ton to make anything. very dry here this winter has been

(there is also another plant at Colton 10 miles from here) which they call the mountain of cement. then we came to Bloomington. mostly all oranges & lemons and a few olives around there and all the way to Rialto. here you turn west for a few miles. along here nothing much growing. some fields of grain a few inches high and look as if they were burning up. for want of rain. when we got off at Fontana, it looked lke a very dismal place, all sand like the desert. the place has just started. only a few houses a new station a school. and a large Packing house. one store. we started out for a walk. nothing but sand. saw a man who had 1500 young chlckens. 5 weeks old. sat down under a shade tree</p>

(three large discs and a wheel to pack it over) drawn by a tractor. took a snap of it also a snap of the orchard the apricots were in blossom, they sure trim the trees back, one reason the man said was that the trees all shot out shoots and they shaded the fruit and kept it from sun scalding. he said they have been very cheap. some old as low as $10 00 per ton should have $30 00 to a ton to make anything, very dry here this winter has been irrigating his orchard for 6 days. and it looked dry to me. now, he says they are all sold to the Canning Factories have two in the town, also said they</p>
