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. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/1b6825436b71a127913def028ecd7d96.pdf 351cdf791efd758658a69daca0023b24 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. == Physician's Year Book == BEING A DAILY MEMORANDUM TOGETHER WITH A MISCELLANEOUS JUMBLE OF FACTS AND SUGGESTIONS OF INTEREST AND ASSISTANCE TO THE PHYSICIAN.

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></div> <div class="mw-parser-output"><h2><span id="Physician's_Year_Book"></span><span class="mw-headline" id="Physician.27s_Year_Book">Physician's Year Book</span></h2> <p>BEING A DAILY MEMORANDUM TOGETHER WITH A MISCELLANEOUS JUMBLE OF FACTS AND SUGGESTIONS OF INTEREST AND ASSISTANCE TO THE PHYSICIAN.

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.

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.

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. <b>Supplied in original bottles only.

THE LATE PROFESSOR ERNST VON BERGMANN Born, December 16, 1836-Died, March 25, 1907 In the death of Ernst Von Bergmann, Germany loses one of her greatest surgeons, and the world mourns with her in her loss, for such men do not belong to any small territory, but their influence is felt throughout the whole world. Ernst Von Bergmann was born in Russia, on December 16, 1836. He studied medicine at the Universities of Dorpat, Vienna, and Berlin. He served as surgeon in the Prussian army during the campaign of 1866, and also in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, during which time he directed the military hospitals at Mannheim and Carlsruhe. In July 1871 he was appointed Professor of Surgery in the Dorpat University. He was later called to Wurzburg University, and in 1882 was appointed Professor of Surgery in the Berlin University, as successor to the famous surgeon Von Langenbeck. About two years ago serious intestinal symptoms developed which caused him to gradually give up his work. Although seventy years of age he was an untiring worker, and his greatest sorrow was having to resign his university work owing to ill health. He underwent an operation by Professor Schlange, a former pupil of his. A second operation was necessary, and he died March 25th, and Germany, and the world, lost a masterful and skillful surgeon. He left to the medical profession "A System of the Practice of Surgery," which is considered one of the greatest surgical works of the age. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/6b9a1999571011417c0e9ebecf90c905.pdf be1cc0f7d5eb1707104198c09bd9b87f Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

He studied medicine at the Universities of Dorpat, Vienna, and Berlin. He served as surgeon in the Prussian army during the campaign of 1866, and also in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870, during which time he directed the military hospitals at Mannheim and Carlsruhe. In July 1871 he was appointed Professor of Surgery in the Dorpat University. He was later called to Wurzburg University, and in 1882 was appointed Professor of Surgery in the Berlin University, as successor to the famous surgeon Von Langenbeck. </p><p>About two years ago serious intestinal symptoms developed which caused him to gradually give up his work. Although seventy years of age he was an untiring worker, and his greatest sorrow was having to resign his university work owing to ill health. He underwent an operation by Professor Schlange, a former pupil of his. A second operation was necessary, and he died March 25th, and Germany, and the world, lost a masterful and skillful surgeon. </p><p>He left to the medical profession "A System of the Practice of Surgery," which is considered one of the greatest surgical works of the age. </p></div> <div class="mw-parser-output"><p>Compliments of M.J.

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.

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 &amp; Keith. </p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Weather_Temp.">Weather Temp.</span></h3> <p>Girls &amp; Evelin went to church.

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.
