"Why," it is argued, "continue to use a language, and dialect which must soon become obsolete?" Well, we answer, it has a charm to us which we are not willing to sacrifice to utilitarianism. Practical as the world is, our tastes are happily not entirely so, and so we prefer holding fast those ideal things which to us are a joy forever. The memories of our early day are yet the morning sunshine of our lives. Where is the kindly heart that has not felt that "There's aye a bit gleam o the gude and the true. As we dream the bit dream of our childhood anew." And what brings this feeling home to a Scot at home or abroad -- like Scottish writings? When Tannahill wrote that simple line, "The midges dance abune the burn, " he set a living image before thousands of his countrymen which all the gnats above the brooks in England could never have conveyed an idea of. The Scot is notably sicker, but no people so frequently give up wealthy and desirable positions to enjoy on a moderate competence their fondly cherished home associations, nor do any more readily make sacrifices to attain cherished ideas. The Highland woman who asked here gudeman to "gang up and be hanged to please the Laird," is an exaggerated illustration of this feeling, while the history of "The Forty-five" Rebellion showed a national self sacrifice probably without a parallel. From the sage, Lociel, who foresaw and pointed out the terrible dangers imminent yet could not resist -- the wild poetical feeling swept, irresistibly through the people, who staked all in their devoted enthusiasm, the world knows with what result. Yet from that great uprising, and the merciless down-trampling that 32 �followed it, what a glorious heritage of national poetry sprung! we do not say the people did wisely in linking their fate with that of the "Young Chevalier," but they were borne away impulsively by sympathy and love of right, the noblest impulses that stir the human heart. So whether it be wise or no, we feel that there is something grandly loyal in our enthusiastic love of our mother-tongue. This much for the ideal. Yet are we not without reason for the faith to which we cling, for there are virtues in the Scottish language well worthy of preservation. Uttered by rude tongues it may be harsh, but from modulated lips it is very musical, and we have often heard people of other nations speak of the pleasure it gave them. There is a tender pathos in the dialect, and a fine rythmical flow in the strong simple words , with their profusion of vowels, to which we proudly cling. If any one doubts the truth of this let them read Hogg's "Bonny Kilmeny," and believer: or Tannahill's "Bonnie Wood o'Craigielea," or "Gloomy Winter's now awa;" Burns' "Nannie O;" or Robert Nicoll's__ "There nane like you, theres nane like you The youngsters blithe around me now, Are bonnie a', baith great an' sma', But auld gudewife there's nane like you" Simple thoughts enough , but tenderly expressed and touchingly grand in their simple homely woreds. Willie Laidlaw', "Lucy's Flittin', is another fine illustration of the expressive tenderness of our venaculara: "O what is that pits my puir heart a flutter And what {missing}ars the tear come sae fast to my e'e If I was'na {missing}ettlet to be only better, Than what gars me wish ony better to be." "The Braes o'Gleniffer," and "When the Kye come hame," are equally beautiful . How that verse beginning "When the bluart bears a pearl," take hold of the Scottish heart, and where is the Scot whose ambition would not be fired to write as musically. The first four verses of 33 �Miss Blamire's "What ails this heart o'mine," Lady Ann Lindsay's "Auld Robin Gray,"the Countess of Nairn's "I'm wearin' awa," "The Rowan Tree," and many others have excellencies and beauties enough to stimulate the Scotch to follow in such footsteps for generations to come. Nor does the Scottish muse of modern days lag far behind. Henry Scott Riddell's "Scotland Yet," " I'll awa hame to my ain folk," and other pieces, are worthy of her palmiest days. W. Cameron's "Meet me on the Gowan Lea," "Jessie o' the Dell," and "Morag's Faery Glen,"-"Ye ken whar you, we burnie rins roarin' to the sea,"-are brimming with gladness and beauty as the birdies and the burnies themselves. Many of the Scottish idioms are very expressive and there is a pith in the language, as there has always been in the race which uses it. Take for example Burns' "Address to the Deil," "Tam o'Shanter," or "Death and Dr. Hornbook," or Nicoll's "We'll mak' the warld better yet." There are not a few useful Scottish words which have no English synonym, while many are indifferently represented. "Wersh" cannot be expressed in English; its best representative is saltless, but this is a thoroughly negative condition, whilst wersh is a very positive flavor, as every one who tastes unsalted bread or brose is apt to testify. "Douse" expresses at once a pleasant and tranquil disposition, with a well-conditioned body. "Crouse" is nearly untranslateable; it is conceited, sprightly and inclined to braggart. "Dinnle," the painful sensation caused by the return of warm blood to very cold fingers. Who knows the English of it? Is it tingle: How indefinite, while dinnle or dinnlin expresses the exact feeling sharp as the sensation itself. "Toom" is empty, but specially applicable to wood vessels, the word itself being the very echo of an empty barrel. "Braw" is better than any word we know to represent it. "Bonnie" is better than pretty, and not always so much as beautiful, commonly denoting kindliness of countenance, with beauty, when applied to living things. "Blithe;" this Saxon word may be claimed as thoroughly Scotch, the English having neglected it. It has no equal in its place, as Scotch authors have well proved. "Threepit" expresses enforcing as well as maintaining, and is very pithy. "Birkle;" In a Burns Glossary we have seen this interpreted "a clever fellow." Had Burns with "a Hieland gill in his cheek" caught this gomoral at his translation, what a loundering the cuif had got A "birkle" is a proud upsetting fellow, more guilty of lack of brains than their possession. We all know how finely sarcastic it is. "D'ye see you birkieca'd a Lord." "Leal" is the very essence of loyal affection, and a word of rare merit. "Biel" is a shelter from the wind and a very expressive word. "Pawky" may be 34 �rendered artful, dodging; we know no better. It is full of meaning, generally implying humorous cunning. "Eerie;" Whoever in a dark and lonely place has felt a vague, undefined dread, a creepiness of the hair, though not really in fear, has been eerie. The feeling is wellknown, but not expressible in English. "Glamour;" Let him who knows the English of this explain it. The "evil eye" of the gipsy and the killing glance of the lover possess it. "Gleg" is quick sharp and active, concentrated. "Gowk" is a simple foolish person; goose is the only translation. "Kep" is neither catches nor receives, but both. How perfectly poetical is the proverb "Ilka blade o' grass keps its aindrap o' dew." "Gawkie" is a thoughtless and awkward lassie or woman. "Gowpin," as much as can be lifted in both hands placed together. "Gancie" is at once handsome, sprightly, and of ample proportions. There are scores of such words which might be quoted. Where shall we find haffets for an Englishman, or a word to make him mensfn'; how set him hotchin' by a cozie ingle, or rinnin' pechin' upa brae, which is not a hill. While others dodge we will jouk; they may be big and sturdy fellows, we can set against them strappin', buirdlychiels. They dinna ken our grips and clours and cowps for carles "dour an'din," nor how we can daud and dirl the croons o' Dae-nae guids and gar them sough and swither. aye, and wauble as feckless as a tewed and wuzzentrunch. As little ken they what a cantie hit bodie auld Grannie is, or how she loes to tent the toddlin weans. They may court their gentle girls on pretty hillocks or vales; we'll woo our canny lassies on the bonnie knowes or in the bieldy howes; while their children go to pluck the pretty daisies, our 'ill gang to "pu the gowans fine:" while brooks ripple between their flowery hanks, burns shall wimple by the broomiehraes where goslins cheep and lintieschirl, and laverocks lilting sing. What Scot would not prefer a brumel to a brambleberry; or a hine to a rasp (the mention of which might se one's teeth on edge instead of a watering); or gloaming to twilight; or a scaur to a precipice, which might be a linn; or guidwife to good wife; or lowe to flame, which is also bleeze; or agley to crooked, which is different; or birr, or eident, or couthie, or vauntie, or rowth or gear, or girn or glower, or Laird, or Bailie, to any corresponding English, and there are many other words equally expressive. It is easy however to have too much of a good thing, and Scotticized Scotch is as unpalateable to a Scot as would be an over-stuffed haggis. Hately Waddell's version of the twenty-third Psalm is sadly overdone. The man who renders drookit for anoint, might aiblinsdook till he dreeps in a Liddisdaledow and be nae the dafter for it. Though "old times" or "long ago" can never be taken as an equivalent for "Auld Lang Syne," the Scotch have long been cognizant of and adopted many of the excellencies of the English language, and we are quite willing to play a give-and-take game. Let England and 35 �Scotland unite in language as they did in government. We shall not even insist upon kinging them this time as at the last union, but will meet them and treat them frankly as though they were our very equals. If England is not sufficiently enlightened for this, Scotland can well afford to wait, resting on her dignity, and great as is her penuriousness (she has long been a thrifty banker), from her overflowing wealth so carefully garnered she will continue to sent her sones, as she has done for ages past to beautify and enrich English literature in all its branches, and the world shall be gladdened by her bounty. But as an Arab after offering his favorite steed for sale begins ruefully thinking over its many good qualities, so do we of our Scottish muse. A verse of John Imlah's song "There lives a young lassie far down in yon glen," springs to our lips: "Red, red as the rowan her milling wee mon And white as the gowan her breast and her brow Wi' the foot of a fairy she links ower the lea Ah! weel I loe Mary, and Mary loes me." And while that music floats though our brain we swither about the agreement rushly proposed, and really don't think Scotland could ever afford to give up her native Doric. Life without it would not be worth having.

England as in America to hear educated men and even {cut off}, remonstrating against the continuance of a Scottish literature. "Why," it is argued, "continue to use a language, and dialect which must soon become obsolete?" Well, we answer, it has a charm to us which we are not willing to sacrifice to utiliarianism. Practical as the world is, our tastes are happily not entirely so, and so we prefer holding fast those ideal things which to us are a joy forever. The memories of our early day are yet the morning sunshine of our lives. Where is the kindly heart that has not felt that</p> <p>"There's aye a bit gleam o the gude and the true. As we dream the bit dream of our childhood anew."</p> <p>And what brings this feeling home to a Scot at home or abroad -- like Scottish writings? When Tannahill wrote that simple line, "The midges dance abune the burn, " he set a living image before thousands of his countryment which all the gnats above the brooks in England could never have conveyed an idea of.</p> <p>The Scot is notably sicker, but no people so frequently give up wealthy and desirable positions to enjoy on a moderate competence their fondly cherished home associations, nor do any more readily make sacrifices to attain cherished ideas. The Highland woman who asked here gudeman to "gang up and be hanged to please the Laird," is an exaggerated illustration of this feeling, while the history of "The Forty-five" Rebellion showed a national self sacrifice probably without a parallel. From the sage, Lociel, who foresaw and pointed out the terrible dangers imminent yet could not resist -- the wild poetical feeling swept, irresistibly through the people, who staked all in their devoted enthusiam, the world knows with what result. Yet from that great uprising, and the merciless down-trampling that followed it, what a glorious heritage of national poetry sprung! we do not say the people did wisely in linking their fate with that of the "Young Chevalier," but they were borne away impulsively by sympathy and love of right, the noblest impulses that stir the human heart. So whether it be wise or no, we feel that there is something grandly loyal in our enthusiastic love of our mother-tongue. This much for the ideal.</p> <p>Yet are we not without reason for the faith to which we cling, for there are virtues in the Scottish language well worthy of preservation. Uttered by rude tongues it may be harsh, but from modulated lips it is very musical, and we have often heard people of other nations speak of the pleasure it gave them. There is a tender pathos in the dialect, and a fine rythmical flow in the strong simple words , with their profusion of vowels, to which we proudly cling. If any one doubts the truth of this let them read Hogg's "Bonny Kilmeny," and believer: or Tannahill's "Bonnie Wood o'Craigielea," or "Gloomy Winter's now awa;" Burns' "Nannie O;" or Robert Nicoll's__</p> <p>"There nane like you, theres nane like you</p> <p>The youngsters blithe around me now,</p> <p>Are bonnie a', baith great an' sma',</p> <p>But auld gudewife there's nane like you"</p> <p>Simple thoughts enough , but tenderly expressed and touchingly grand in their simple homely woreds.</p> <p>Willie Laidlaw', "Lucy's Flittin', is another fine illustration of the expressive tenderness of our venaculara:</p> <p>"O what is that pits my puir heart a flutter</p> <p>And what {missing}ars the tear come sae fast to my e'e</p> <p>If I was'na {missing}ettlet to be only better,</p> <p>Than what gars me wish ony better to be."</p> <p>"The Braes o'Gleniffer," and "When the Kye come hame," are equally beautiful . How that verse beginning "When the bluart bears a pearl," take hold of the Scottish heart, and where is the Scot whose ambition would not be fired to write as musically. The first four verses of Miss Blamire's "What ails this heart o'mine," Lady Ann Lindsay's "Auld Robin Gray,"the Countess of Nairn's "I'm wearin' awa," "The Rowan Tree," and many others have excellencies and beauties enough to stimulate the Scotch to follow in such footsteps for generations to come.</p> <p>Nor does the Scottish muse of modern days lag far behind. Henry Scott Riddell's "Scotland Yet," " I'll awa hame to my ain folk," and other pieces, are worthy of her palmiest days. W. Cameron's "Meet me on the Gowan Lea," "Jessie o' the Dell," and "Morag's Faery Glen,"--</p> <p>"Ye ken whar you, we burnie rins roarin' to the sea,"--</p> <p>are brimming with gladness and beauty as the birdies and the burnies themselves.</p> <p>Many of the Scottish idioms are very expressive and there is a pith in the language, as there has always been in the race which uses it. Take for example Burns' "Address to the Deil," "Tam o'Shanter," or "Death and Dr. Hornbook," or Nicoll's "We'll mak' the warld better yet."</p> <p>There are not a few useful Scottish words which have no English synonym, while many are indifferently represented. "Wersh" cannot be expressed in English; its best representative is saltless, but this is a thoroughly negative condition, whilst wersh is a very positive flavor, as every one who tastes unsalted bread or brose is apt to testify. "Douse" expresses at once a pleasant and tranquil disposition, with a well-conditioned body. "Crouse" is nearly untranslateable; it is conceited, sprightly and inclined to braggart. "Dinnle," the painful sensation caused by the return of warm blood to very cold fingers. Who knows the English of it? Is it tingle: How indefinite, while dinnle or dinnlin expresses the exact feeling sharp as the sensation itself. "Toom" is empty, but specially applicable to wood vessels, the word itself being the very echo of an empty barrel. "Braw" is better than any word we know to represent it. "Bonnie" is better than pretty, and not always so much as beautiful, commonly denoting kindliness of countenance, with beauty, when applied to living things. "Blithe;" this Saxon word may be claimed as thoroughly Scotch, the English having neglected it. It has no equal in its place, as Scotch authors have well proved. "Threepit" expresses enforcing as well as maintaining, and is very pithy. "Birkle;" In a Burns Glossary we have seen this interpreted "a clever fellow." Had Burns with "a Hieland gill in his cheek" caught this gomoral at his translation, what a loundering the cuif had got A "birkle" is a proud upsetting fellow, more guilty of lack of brains than their possession. We all know how finely sarcastic it is. "D'ye see you birkie ca'd a Lord." "Leal" is the very essence of loyal affection, and a word of rare merit. "Biel" is a shelter from the wind and a very expressive word. "Pawky" may be rendered artful, dodging; we know no better. It is full of meaning, generally implying humorous cunning. "Eerie;" Whoever in a dark and lonely place has felt a vague, undefined dread, a creepiness of the hair, though not really in fear, has been eerie. The feeling is well-known, but not expressible in English. "Glamour;" Let him who knows the English of this explain it. The "evil eye" of the gipsy and the killing glance of the lover possess it. "Gleg" is quick sharp and active, concentrated. "Gowk" is a simple foolish person; goose is the only translation. "Kep" is neither catches nor receives, but both. How perfectly poetical is the proverb "Ilka blade o' grass keps its ain drap o' dew." "Gawkie" is a thoughtless and awkward lassie or woman. "Gowpin," as much as can be lifted in both hands placed together. "Gancie" is at once handsome, sprightly, and of ample proportions. There are scores of such words which might be quoted. Where shall we find haffets for an Englishman, or a word to make him mensfn'; how set him hotchin' by a cozie ingle, or rinnin' pechin' upa brae, which is not a hill. While others dodge we will jouk; they may be big and sturdy fellows, we can set against them strappin', buirdly chiels. They dinna ken our grips and clours and cowps for carles "dour an'din," nor how we can daud and dirl the croons o' Dae-nae guids and gar them sough and swither. aye, and wauble as feckless as a tewed and wuzzent runch. As little ken they what a cantie hit bodie auld Grannie is, or how she loes to tent the toddlin weans. They may court their gentle girls on pretty hillocks or vales; we'll woo our canny lassies on the bonnie knowes or in the bieldy howes; while their children go to pluck the pretty daisies, our 'ill gang to "pu the gowans fine:" while brooks ripple between their flowery hanks, burns shall wimple by the broomie hraes where goslins cheep and linties chirl, and laverocks lilting sing. What Scot would not prefer a brumel to a brambleberry; or a hine to a rasp (the mention of which might se one's teeth on edge instead of a watering); or gloaming to twilight; or a scaur to a precipice, which might be a linn; or guidwife to good wife; or lowe to flame, which is also bleeze; or agley to crooked, which is different; or birr, or eident, or couthie, or vauntie, or rowth or gear, or girn or glower, or Laird, or Bailie, to any corresponding English, and there are many other words equally expressive.</p> <p>It is easy however to have too much of a good thing, and Scotticized Scotchis as unpalateable to a Scot as would be an over-stuffed haggis. Hately Waddell's version of the twenty-third Psalm is sadly overdone. The man who renders drookit for anoint, might aiblins dook till he dreeps in a Liddisdale dow and be nae the dafter for it.</p> <p>Though "old times" or "long ago" can never be taken as an equivalent for "Auld Lang Syne," the Scotch have long been cognizant of and adopted many of the excellencies of the English language, and we are quite willing to play a give-and-take game. Let England and Scotland unite in language as they did in government. We shall not even insist upon kinging them this time as at the last union, but will meet them and treat them frankly as though they were our very equals. If England is not sufficiently enlightened for this, Scotland can well afford to wait, resting on her dignity, and great as is her penuriousness (she has long been a thrifty banker), from her overflowing wealth so carefully garnered she will continue to sent her sones, as she has done for ages past to beautify and enrich English literature in all its branches, and the world shall be gladdened by her bounty.</p> <p>But as an Arab after offering his favorite steed for sale begins ruefully thinking over its many good qualities, so do we of our Scottish muse. A verse of John Imlah's song "There lives a young lassie far down in yon glen," springs to our lips:</p> <p>"Red, red as the rowan her milling wee mon</p> <p>And white as the gowan her breast and her brow</p> <p>Wi' the foot of a fairy she links ower the lea</p> <p>Ah! weel I loe Mary, and Mary loes me."</p> <p>And while that music floats though our brain we swither about the agreement rushly proposed, and really don't think Scotland could ever afford to give up her native Doric. Life without it would not be worth having.

A Word of Explanation{diarist used extra-large letters} Our friends will no doubt note the increased size of our "Physician's Daily Memorandum" for 1914, and an explanation is therefore in order. Heretoiore, the book has consisted of about two-thirds blank space and one-third printed space, and thus has been mailable as merchandise, instead of printed matter. Until the Parcel Post law became operative, it was mailable at the same rate of postage to all parts of the country; the new law, however, makes it obligatory to forward all merchandise by Parcel Post, and perscribes thawt all packages over four ounces in weight must be paid for as one pound, and at varying rates, in accordance with the postal zone for which it is intended. When it is considered that about 150,000 copies of this book are mailed, the physician can readily appreciate the almost impossible task of looking up the individual zone rate and affixing the required Parcel Post stamps to each copy. In addition to the infinite amount of time and trouble, which this would involve, it is practically certain that many copies would reach physicians of location, incorrect addresses, etc., etc. For the above reason, and especially because we do not wish to have any physician,pay a single penny in order to receive his copy, we have added a sufficient number of printed pages to render it classifiable as printed matter mailable at ounce rates, with ordinary postage, to all parts of country alike, as has been the case heretofore. In preparing copy for the additional pages, we have endeavored to render same intresting and instructive. It is hoped that the physician will continue to welcome and utilize the book, and that the few waifs of humor that have been interspersed may also be appreciated, when some idle moment makes it possible for the physician to look them over.

If the abdominal wall is relaxed there is always more less flattening of the abdomen anteriorly; if the walls are tensely distended this appearance is obsucred.

She Wanted Him to Know. A Boston physician was called out of a sound slumber the other night to answer the telephone. "Hello! what is it?" he asked, little please at the idea of leaving his comfortable bed. "Baby is crying doctor, what shall I do?" came across the wire. "Oh, perhaps it's a young mother, one of his patients. "No," was the reply; "I'm sure it can't be that." "Perhaps he has the colic," returned the doctor, with well simulated solicitude. "No, I don't think so," replied the mother, "he doesn't act that way." "Then perhaps he's hungry," as a last resort. "Oh, I'll see," came across the wirse; and then all was still. The doctor went back to bed and was soon asleep again. About half an hour afterward he was awakened by the violent ringing of the telepohone bell. Jumping out of bed and placing the receiver to his ear, he was cheered by the following message: "You are right, doctor, baby was hungry." - Healthy Home. She Liked the Hospital Not long ago at a provincial hospital an old woman, who was being discharged completely cured, was having a last interview with the house physician. "Well," he said, "you have to speak well of the hospital now, won't you?" And the old woman replied: "Ay, that I will, doctor. But, sure, I never spoke ill of it. My husband died here."-Current Literature.

The Importance of Nutrivite Repair in the treatment of tuberculosis, is now generally acknowledged. All phthisio-therapists agre that the therapeutic trinity of salvation for the tuberculous invalid is composted of: 1-Fresh, pure air, in abundance, both night and day; 2-A properly balanced ample supply of nutritious food; 3-Plenty of rest, especially during the febrile period. While medication is useless, unless the patient is properly fed, "ventilated" and rested, as aboved referred to; there is no doubt that intelligent medical treatement designed to promote nutition, is indicated in a majority of cases. If the tuberculous patient has been neglected for any length of time, some degree of anemia is almost always present. In such cases, an absolutely bland, non-irritant, readily tolerable and assimilable form of iron, such as exists in Peto-Mangan (Gude), cannot but be of benefit, by stimulating the formation of erythrocytes and hemoglobin, and thus augmenting the oxygen-bearing potency of the blood. Metabolic interchange is thus quickened, better absorption and assimilation of food follows, and as a consequence, nutritive repair is encouraged and hastened UG Transcription Progress Scripto transcription progress Done https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/0694c1813d06a2aa638d092e02c0f2e2.pdf 985d8d404fc46b9e8599de29b4e104b2 UG Transcription Progress Scripto transcription progress Done Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

The writer describes a method of administering oxygen, that in some respects is superior to the methods in general use. It is simplicity itself. The inhalation tube forks into two branches, each of which terminates in an olive-shaped end-piece like that used in the Politzer bag. One of these end-pieces is inserted into each nostril, which it fits snugly. The patient can thus comfortably inhale the oxygen in any posture and without any exertion on his part. The writer especially recommends the use of oxygen inhalations, by means of this recommends the use of oxygen inhalations, by means of this apparatus, in pneumonia.-Lauder-Brunton; Brit. Med. Journ.

The Estimation and Siginificance of Blood Pressure. Dr. L. W. Littig, in Iowa Medical Journal, in a thor- ough discussion of the subiect, makes the following points: (1) That the sphygmomanometer is the most useful instrument in general medical work, and that an exam- ination cannot be considered complete unless the blood pressure has been accurately taken. (2) That the blood pressure at the age of twenty years may be assumed to be 120 millimeters, and that an increase of one-half millimeter for each year above this age is normal with a variation of 15 mm above or below the point so obtained (Faught). (3) That increased blood pressure indicates chronic interstitial nephritis in 75 to 80 per cent. of all cases, and in the other 20 and 25 per cent. it indicates either a splanchnic sclerosis, or a sclerosis of the aorta above the diaphragm. (4) With moderate increase in pressure, judicious exercise to stimulate elimination, and castor oil to pre- vent intestinal toxaemia are rational procedures. (5) Increased arterial pressure may be conservative and unless dangerously high, or compensation be broken, does not require either vasodilators or heart tonics. (6) If dangerously high vaso-dilators, as nitro- glycerine, nitrite of amyl, or nitrite of soda must be used, especially in cases of coronary sclerosis, as indi- cated by attacks of angina pectoris. (7) With failing compensation, digitalis becomes the remedy.

The Test of a Tonic. The field and function of a systemic tonic is gen- erally understood and appreciated by both physician and patient. To stimulate, whip or goad the vital pro- cesses is not to "tone," but, on the contrary, to ulti- mately depress. A real tonic is not a mere "pick-me- up," but some agent that adds genuine strength, force and vigor to the organism. The genuine tonic is a builder or reconstructor of both blood and tissue. Any agent which will increase the power of the blood to carry and distribute the life-giving oxygen is a tonic in the best and truest sense of the word. Iron in some form is an ideal tonic, as it builds up the vital red cells of the blood and the hemoglobin, which is their essential oxygen-carrying element. Of all forms of iron, none is quite as generally acceptable and readily tolerable and assimilable as Pepto-Mangan (Gude). It creates ap- petite, tones up the absorbents, builds the blood, and thus is a real tonic and reconstructive of high order. It is especially desirable because of its freedom from irritant properties, and because it never causes a con- stipated habit.

An Iron Need is a Vital Need. Ferric re-enforcement is an imperative necessity in almost all cases of anemia, chlor-anemia, chlorosis, tuberculosis, Bright's, malnutrition. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) supplies the essential material: meets the imperative blood need; fulfills the therapeutic indication, without harm to digestion or disturbance of any function. The true test of a tonic is its action as a genuine reconstuctive rather than its temporary effect as a mere "pick-me-up." Pepto-Mangan (Gude) has, for nearly twenty years, been successfully playing the eminently useful role of a true tonic in all sorts of general devitilization. It still maintains its undeniable supremacy as an hematic reconstituent, of special service in the convalescence of la grippe, typhoid, pneumonia and all acute illnesses. The Hemic Murmur and the Venous Hum indicate a distinct anemia, the character and degree of which may be determined by the blood count and hemoglobin estimation. A therapeutic quartette of marked value in such cases is composed of fresh air, nourishing food, rest, and Pepto-Mangan (Gude). This valuable hematinic is distincly palatable and entirely free from irritant or astringent properties. Its beneficent influence is nowhere better illustrated than in the after-treatment of the acute diseases of childhood. The readiness with which even the youngest child takes and tolerates it, and its prompt and decided tono-stimulant effect upon nutriition generally, renders Pepto-Mangan (Gude) the first choice among reconstuctives in pediatric pratice.

In the case of Pepto-Mangan (Gude) "the why is plain as way to parish church." It furnishes, in agreeable, bland and immediately appropriabe form, the needed material for corpuscular and hematinic reconstruc-tion in anemic, chlorotic and marasmic conditions. "Wherefore" and "therefore" it meets every rational indication, as definitely proved by the hematologic test and the clinical experience of almost two decades of professional use. ______ == The Peculiar Pallor == of the cheek, lip and conjunctiva in chlorotic anemia, is characteristic and unmistakable. It is eloquent testimony of an "Iron-hunger." An imperative signal of an "iron-need." That Pepto-Mangan (Gude) best satisfies this need, is demonstrated by the prompt return of healthy color to skin and mucous membrane. Di-gestion is not disturbed; constipation does not ensure; the teeth are not injured. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is indicated in anemia, ma-laria, chlorosis, amenorrhea, dysmenorrhea, rickets, Bright's disease, as a blood builder before and after operations; as a general tonic and reconstructor in convalescence from diptheria, typhoid gever, scar-latina, la grippe, etc. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) has gained and maintained an unique and unequalled reputation as a pleasant and efficient hematinic in such conditions.

A renowned Philadelphia spe-cialist diagnosed the trouble as iritis, and advised (fee ten dollars) an immediate operation; but a celebrated London authority, though discovering in the eye a well-developed case of the disease, thought any cutting should be avoided. Two guineas was his tariff for this advice. Suffering still, despite a treatment faithfully pursued, the desperate patient sought out a resident foreigner, known throughout New York for cunning in cases like hers. His long examination concluded, he said: "It would be good if you took a warm bath once a week." "To be sure," protested the visitor, "but I've had that or a cold bath daily all my life." "Yes," rejoined the specialist, complacently, "it is a very good thing." And then he directed that the next patient be called in. - N.Y. Evening Post.

As the diseases in question are self-limited in nature, expectant and symptomatic treat-ment, together with precautions as to isolation, etc., is about all the physician is called upon to direct. It is well known, however, that in all but the mildest cases, the adolescent subject of scarlatina, or measles, is usually more of less debilitated or devitalized, when convalescence is established. Special care should be taken to avoid admnistration of any tonic or re-constituent which is likely to disturb the child's digest-tion or by inducing constopation, to minimize the ap-petite or desire for food. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is the ideal reconstructive tonic for these young patients, because it is pleasant to the taste, easily tolerable by the stomach and readily assimilable by blood and tissue and promptly efficient in restoring appetitie, strength, color and general well-being.

Having undergone the examination and received the welcome assurance that his lungs were sound, the young man asked the doctor what his fee was, "Oh, nothing, sir, nothing at all." "Why, how is that?" "Well, you know, dog doesn't eat dog." "What do you mean, sir?" "Simply that one doctor doesn't charge another doctor for professional services."

Children in proportion. === The After Treatment of Catarrhal Colds, Etc. === The various colds, "grippes," and catarrhs, that afflict the respiratory mucous membranes during the winter months, are extremely likely to leave their traces upon the general systemic vitality, in the form of a greater or lesser degree of anemia. This is especially true of those whose resistance is "below par," i.e., elderly people, young ill-nourished children, and weaklings from whatever cause. The constitutional after-treatment of respiratory disorders, among this class of patients, is usually more honored in the breach than in the observance. There can be no better routine practice than to order <b>Pepto-Mangan (Gude)</b> as a general tonic and reconstituent, especially when anemia is apparent. This exceedingly pleasant and ferruginous reconstructive is so distinctly palatable as to render it generally acceptable to all patients, and is so entirely free from irritant properties as to insure its ready toleration without causing constipation or disturbance of digestion. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/cedd912a9b31c8523f1a19fa417afc5d.pdf 03f33d28fe700cb339d237af2221d849 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. == Sunday, February 15 == 46 DAYS PAST 319 TO COME === Surgical Suggestions. === In the palm, foreign bodies, by reason of the direction of the trust, often point towards the dorsum and, in a general way, towards the center of the wrist, and such movements as they undergo muscular contractions carry them further in those directions.<i>--Amer.

If there is anyone particular feature of La Grippe which is common to almost all cases , it is the distinct and pronounced prostration that follows the subsidence of the acute symptoms. While authorative opionions may differ as regards the treatment of La Grippe during its febrile or active period , there is no doubt of the essential necessity od supportive and tonic treatment during convalescence. It should be remembered , however that the physician who prescribes a course of tonic , hematinic treatment, without reference to the digestion or gastro-intestinal sufficiency of his patient , is very liable to "strike a snag". The digestive syste of the average "grippe" patient, like his general vital tone, is almost always "below par" and the ordinary iron products are likely to produce gastric irritation and digestive discord genrally. <b>Pepto-Mangan (Gude)</b> is particulary serviceable in such an emergency.Its ferruginous content is in readily tolerable and immediately absorbable condition and is assimilated and appropirated without embarresment of digestive vigor or strain upon the asborptive or assimilative functions.When prostration is extreme , it is a good plan to order strychnia, in appropriate dosage, in combination with Pepto-Mangan . There is no surer , safer or more efficent genreal hematinic medication than this. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/baa0cd5d6a58bbe229a6318c1c511f0a.pdf ea0c75063f110ceac6c8b34306bc5133 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. == Sunday, February 22 == 53 DAYS PAST 312 TO COME === Anemia from Menorrhagia. === A physician of Glasgow, Scotland, reports: "I prescribed <b>Pepto-Mangan (Gude)</b> for a young married woman who was very anemic from menorrhagia, and who said she had tried many things but could find nothing that did her good.

It was hard to say which did his patients the most good. Just as it happened when one of his patients revolted at a monstrous dose of physic and said, "Why, doctor, you can't mean such a dose as this for a gentleman?" "Oh, no," said the doctor, "it's for working people," - Med. Standard. === Remedy for Mal de Mer. === "I have sailed the seas for half a century, gentlemen," said Captain Cochrane to a group upon the deck on his ship, "when any of you begin to feel qualmish, come to me.

Prominent among such causes are, Syphilis, Rheumatism, Paludal Poisoning, Tuberculosis, Carcinoma, etc. In many instances, such an anemia is due to some obscure, latent metabolic perversion, or a slow but persistent intestinal auto-intoxication of gastro-intestinal origin. While it is an axiomatic principle that successful therapy depends upon the removal of the causative factor, it is more than often wise and eminently judicious to adopt direct hematinic treatment while the underlying cause is being sought for and combated. Pepto - Mangan (Gude) being bland, non-irritant and readily tolerable, can almost always be given, with distinct advantageto appetite, digestion, nutrition and general well-being, while causative therapy is under way. Neither constipation nor digestive disturbance results from its steady use, and a general hematic gain is practically a certainty, if its use is persisted in.

Lumbar Puncture. Since in children the spinous processes of the lumbar vertebra are short and extend nearly directly backward, the puncture is made most readily in the median line, close to the under border of the spinous process of the upper vertebra of the chosen space. In adults, because of the anatomical differences in the spine, and because of the interspinous ligament, there is more room for approach if puncture is made to one side of the median line, and at a level with the lower part of the spinous process of the vertebra next above the space used. The needle, however, should be pointed toward the median line-G. R. Pisek; The Post-Graduate A Touching Tribute. A writer tells how a little child once preached a wonderful sermon to him. "Is your father at home?" I asked a small child, on our village doctor's doorstep. "No," he said; "he's away." "Where do you think I could find him?" "Well," he replied, with a considering air, "you've got to look for him some place where people are sick, or hurt, or something like that.

Blood Impoverishment. In meeting that condition of the system enbraced in the above headlines, is it not true that our first thought, and that to which our instinct naturally leads us, is iron; but viewed from the standpoint of now accepted scientific facts, is this not looking at but one phase of the question? That there is a deficiency of iron in the blood in most forms of anemia is, of course, indisputable; and to endeavor to supply this lack by the administration of iron seems but a common sense procedure. To invigorate, to rekindle nervous force, to revitalize all functions, and thereby bring about a condition of systemic vigor, of which blood-enrichment is necessarily a feature, the addition of manganese to iron is desirable. In Pepto-Mangan, iron and manganese was first brought to the attention of all the profession by Dr. Gude, Chemist, and this preparation is found to be one of the best therapeutic resources of the present-day physician, and when combined with such other remedies as meet the indication, such as we have spoken of, forms at once a therapeutic arsenal whose fortress is impregnable.

The practice of giving nutrient enemata with a common Davidson syringe, with a rubber or metal nozzle, cannot be too strongly condemned. Irritation of the bowel, possibly hemorrhage, and imperfect absorption, are the result. A long, pliable rubber tube should be used; a large velvet-eyed catheter does very well, and this should be passed well up the rectum to the sigmoid flexure. About eight inches of tubing should be passed up in the child, and about ten to twelve inches in the adult. There is a good anatomical and physiological reason for this, as fluids absorbed from the sigmoid flexure and upper part of the rectum are carried to the inferior mesenteric vein through the superior hemorrhoidal and sigmoid veins, and so on to the liver through the portal vein. The veins from the lower third of the rectum pass directly to the inferior vena cava, consequently all proteid matter absorbed from the lower one-third of the rectum loses the further digestion in the liver so vital to its assimilation. If injected into the sigmoid flexure it causes less irritation, and there is less liability to rejection.<i>--Canada Med.

In addition to the more or less devitalizing effect of the original condition which brings the patient to the operating table, the necessary anaesthesia, if at all prolonged, reduces the hemoglobin percentage and the shock incident to the operation contributes to the surgical anemia. Hemorrhage, Supporation or Sepsis of course intensifies the post-operative chlor-anemia and renders more than ever necessary the employment of hematogenic measures during surgical convalescence. Judicious feeding alone will not hasten recovery as rapidly as a judicious combination of feeding with a hematinic reconstituent such as <b>Pepto-Mangan (Gude).</b> This palatable, readily tolerable and promptly absorbable organic combination of iron and manganese is distinctly indicated in preference to other blood-building agents, because it is agreeable, non-irritant and free from constipating effect. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/6963e653a385feb17779c86ba4a1c44b.pdf 71b1d5cf4b5ac0ae74d79d7c97aed3a2 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. == Sunday, March 15 == 74 DAYS PAST 291 TO COME === Pleurisy and Tuberculosis. === Every case of "cured" pleurisy should be closely watched for many months after the patient has been actually ill with the disease.

Tumors of the pylorus and duodenum can easily be recognized, because they will rescend with inspiration, and they can be retained by the finger during expiration, while a tumor connected with the liver will rise again with expiration. Tumors of the stomach and intestines also change their position with the inflation of the stomach by air, unless they are strongly attached to neighboring organs. - C. A. Ewald; The Amer. Journ. of Gastro-Enterology === Just as Good as Ever, Too. === An old physician was noted for his brusque manner and old-fashioned methods. A lady called him in to treat her baby, who was slightly ailing. The doctor prescribed castor oil. "But, doctor," protested the young mother, "castor oil is such an old-fashioned remedy."

Patients who are patients solely because they are tired, "run down" and generally debilitated, are constant visitors at the physician's office. Such individuals need something that will boost them up to their normal point of resistance and then hold them there: in other words, not a mere temporary stimulatioin, with secondary depression, but a permanent help to the revitalization of the blood and a general reconstruction. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is not only prompt in action as an encourager of appetite and better spirits, but is also distinctly efficient as a blood builder and systemic reconstituent. It is pleasant, non-irritant, free from constipating effect and does not stain the teeth. It is thus a general constitutional tonic of positive service in all conditions of general devitalization.

This is especially true of bicarbonate of sodium. They produce this effect after being absorbed and during excretion. That it is not due to their local action on the gastric mucosa, is proved by the use of mineral waters, which aid the absorption of alkalies, and so produce hyperchlorhydria more readily than alkalies alone. The above is true only if the gastric glands are numerous and active. If the mucosa is atrophied, instead of raising the digestive power of the gastric juice, with a tendency toward hyperchlorhydria, alkalies depress and aggravate the hypopepsia - British Med. Journal === Equal to the Emergency. === Dr. S. M. Brickner tells this story of a reporter for a New York newpaper who was assigned to cover a mysterious death in Harlem.

Edwin Lewis, formerly resident physician of the Fanny Allen Hospital, now editor of "American Medicine," says that irregular menstruation in young women due to anaemic conditions, Pepto - Mangan (Gude) has in every way proved itself an ideal preparation. He states: "This admirable combination of iron and manganese is readily taken into the human economy and appropriated to its needs, without deranging the weakest alimentary tract or hindering in any way the normal processes of digestion, assimiliation and excretion." He illustrates his article with the reports of four cases, of which we reproduce one as an example. Miss L., age 18. Had never menstruated. Her general appearance was one of profound anaemia. A careful examination eliminated any abnormality of genital apparatus. Organs normal in relation, but undersized.

The After Care of Children's Ills. With the advent of school-days, and the daily association of many children in the class room, the contagious diseases of childhood develop and multiply. The exanthemata, as well as diphtheria, whooping cough, etc., comprise a considerable proportion of the diseases that the family physician is called upon to treat during the late Fall and Winter months. The robust child, with but a mild infection, frequently recovers quickly and, perhaps, requires but little attention during the convalescent period, while the child whose general nutrition is "below par" usually emerges from the acute attack with a condition of anemia and general vital depreciation, In the large majority of cases, it is undoubtedly wise to encourage and hasten convalescence by means of a palatable and efficient hematinic and general tonic. For this purpose Pepro-Mangan (Gude) is especially valuable. All children like it and take it readily. As it is non-astringent, it does not, as do other ferruginous remedies, cause or increase constipation. As Pepto-Mangan is prompt and efficient as a blood builder and general reconstructive, it should be preferred among children whenever medication of a general tonic nature is indicated. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/ea9a9413af07df8749e85fa3e4c5ac73.pdf fcf34ce5d99e2a1d332ae732a31000dd https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/3b2c80929955718dd5f027602031012b.pdf a1d44ebd9131edd7c3190436efb9f042 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

Physiology and Pathology of Bile Secretion. Albu reports certain observations made in the case of a woman with a biliary fistula. The latter had existed for nine years. Various diets were taken, and it was found that one of milk, eggs, soup, white bread, vegetables and fruit caused a more abundant outflow of bile than a diet in which meat figured largely. The author thinks that it is not possible to determine from experiments on animals just what remedies will in man produce an increased bile flow, and thinks that many investigators have mistaken an outflow of. bile from accumulations in the various biliary reservoirs for an actual increase in its formation in the liver cell.

The Best Form of Administering Iron. That the inorganic and other official preparations of iron do not always answer the requirements of actual practice and possess many disadvantages, every experienced practitioner will admit. Summarized briefly, the disadvantages of most of the official preparations are: they often disagreeable to the taste, they affect the teeth, they often derange the stomach, they cause anorexia, constipation and headaches, and, most important, frequently impossible to induce children and women to take any of the official iron preparations. The ingenuity of the chemist was therefore bent for many years upon the production of an iron preparation which should be free from all those drawbacks, and the ideal of an iron preparation has been reached in Dr. Gude's Pepto-Mangan. (From the Southern Practitioner.) Dr. Deering J. Roberts, of Nashville, Tenn., editor of the Southern POractitioner, gives the clinical histories of five cases-gastric ulcer, occipito-cervical neuralgia, chlorosis and amenorrhea with dysmenorrhea-ib which the use of Pepto-Mangan (Gude) was followed by brilliant clinical results. In these cases neither the haemoglobin nor the red corpuscles were estimated by laboratory methods, but, as the author says: "Nor was there any need. Each case, its progress and its results have been so plain that he who runs may read." https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/d9639819d51b6206f22bf2e3cd004a69.pdf b13be35ff5f4c259af7383946ef3694a https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/6207b52ad60234511da261576146e34f.pdf 714761d6c459a6969ec6d663533567ed Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

Cardiac Diseases in Children. The following the rules are given by Perrier as to the management of this condition: In the first place, the child should be protected from cold, both because it depresses vitality and also because cold may cause internal congestion. Much fatigue is to be avoided and violent exercise forbidden. In the case of girls, particular attention is to be paid to these points at the approach of puberty. Secondly, the greatest care should be exercised as to diet, which should be simple, and consist largely of milk, eggs, easily-digested soups, and tender, plainly-cooked meats. Milk should be the drink for each meal. Thirdly, a life in the open air is very essential, and the climate should be changed by resorting to warm places in Winter and cool ones in Summer, for all persons with cardiac disease, particularly children, suffer from rapid changes in temperature-Charlotte Med.

The Role of Manganese. While iron performs brilliant service in anemia and chlorosis, is has been noticed to fail entirely, or almost so, in a certain number of cases. Something else than iron seemed to be lacking and some other remedy seemed to be required. It was Hannon who succeeded in demonstrating, in 1849, the presence of manganese in the blood, and in the same year Petrequin showed that iron and manganese decrease to the same degree in the blood of chlorotic persons, and therefore must be replaced in an equal measure. In 1857 Menke called attention to the pharmacodynamic significance of manganese in the mineral water of Pyrmont, while Prof. Rühle ascribed chlorosis to an impoverishment of the blood in manganese or iron, or both conjointly. The most recent researches have not only confirmed these statements, but have demonstrated that manganese acts more powerfully upon the oxygen of the blood than iron, and hence promotes assimilation more energetically than the latter. That notwithstanding these facts and experiments, the use. of manganese has not become more general, is attributable to the fact that prior to the advent of Pepto-Mangan, it was not found possible to combine both these hematogenic elements palatable, soluble and absorbable form. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/86b5ce46b6df57ce3e21190f4f9d682e.pdf 54222c99cea384bd828eb8b9e0085145 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/dfcc549141da22c33c008255cd764f64.pdf 8d822698fb37e4870bed79d01fc51d89 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/bdd6f65ac7de97ea650a61de3b101b96.pdf 03e947d5c88b16c550971598757cd325 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/7cd8006a7e3f7a6d9c84c368a360b7df.pdf ea6628a1452e6f76022c4de5a3fddd5e https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/4c197ca1f3ab23a74981dc82f9abc3e2.pdf 051bc2856f5647f879f33b765b697b4c https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/d7e369d3f8cc76f8bd2267ca94ee498f.pdf 53df0a590fff4b2e46a5a800b8fe3516 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/2f045c47f404d120e9f901911f94be28.pdf a33369b0cbe3fd32f32c7adc6b898db9 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/e061444aa74a5b53470487b254dc8d30.pdf b08643959d5a85e865bd497711432d24 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

The relation of the normal ear canal to inanimate foreign bodies is entirely without reaction; that is, the foreign body in the ear does not, per se, endanger the integrity of the ear. 2. Every hasty endeavor at removal is, therefore, not only unnecessary, but can become very injurious. 3. In all cases not previously interfered with (with few exceptions), the foreign substance can be removed from the ear by means of syringing. 4. The general practitioner should never employ anything but the syringe in his endeavors at removal of foreign bodies from the external auditory canal. 5. An instrumental removal of a foreign body from the ear should be affected only by one fully able to examine the ear with an otoscope and acquanited with every operative manipulation in this region. === Medicine and Music. === Dr. W-, who has become a member of the choir of a fashionable uptown ritualistic church, now refers to himself as an Epaesculapian and states that he is a specialist both in anthems and exanthems. - N.

This metallic element, in one form or another, is still the sheet anchor in such cases, and when intelligently administered in proper form and dosage can be depended upon to bring about marked improvement, provided serious incurable organic disease is not the operative cause of the exisiting blood impoverishment. The form in which to administer iron is, however, very important. The old, irritant, astringent martial medication has had its day, and properly so. Probably the most generally acceptable of all iron products is Pepto - Mangan (Gude), an organic combination of iron and manganese with assimilable peptones.

Compensation is easily effected in childhood, but the liability to acute dilatation in acute diseases should be kept in mind. The author briefly alludes to the lackof physical and mental growth frequently caused by heart disease in children. === Hacthing Birds. === A little five-year-old daughter of Dr. Pickens Taylor, of Georgia, was taken down with a spell of intermittent. It became necessary to administer quinine, which he did in the form of small capsules. In order to induce her to take them he told her that they were "little humming-bird's eggs, and were very nice." When the quinine had taken effect. she told her father, with great glee, that the little birds had hatched, and were singing in her head. - Doctor's Recreation Series. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/2759f30f6b47c017346e1f7a838b6cf3.pdf a883fbadb798a935926461a66e2b06f3 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. === Afterwards. === During the acute stages of any serious illness, such as typhoid, pneumonia, La Grippe, etc., the attention of the physician is, of course, centered upon the ways and means of conducting the patient through the stress and storm of the disease, into the peaceful harbor of convalescence. In many instances, when this point is reached, the physician is inclined to relax his efforts and, perhaps, fails to appreciate the extent of the general devitalization that has followed the severe systemic infection from which the patient has just recovered. Unless the reparative and restorative forces of Nature and forified and stimulated, a slow and tardy convalescence is apt to supervene. The devitalizing influence of the infectious diseases is exerted principally upon the blood itself, readily absorbable and promptly efficient hematinic is therefore always in order. Pepto - Mangan (Gude) is peculiarly adapted to the needs of the convalescent invaild, because, being palatable and non - irritant, it does not impair the appetite or disturb the digestion. It freedom from constipating effect is another distinct point in its favour. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/bae6500c15f1791d269af77f65c99d02.pdf 909b21206c6be6ce13c5eec244068da2 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/3db1f040298c4d651bbf6303ba44f35b.pdf f553e72b49c2f4d701d1cd9b37607289 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/45bf6bf294c46d755f955dc14568dd18.pdf c96e9a7c2c4fc2c0d99194308415c5f2 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/c39f66745790fb7c60c9fe8d5a3993bf.pdf ce69685e1225008748784d4ee7968e7e https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/11ba69e26e3c8785713c4af7856ada6f.pdf ef74c7850c40d595ecc566bb8c9035ad https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/68b61e7d4c66521167e5fdc9c44f65a8.pdf 5a5d13599bdacb1e3399449a4ff95ba5 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/e0ef7368c0ae4f62e63d6f1d337422fe.pdf 795232541ba89eb95a73cf4b30509e2d https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/b9c25d81beced4522c54b50a665dfd0f.pdf 326fd1c828722c4f4e54fe7412059879 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Blood Vitality the essence of life is the blood. The vital element of the blood is hemoglobin. Without a normal percentage of this elementary principle the tissues are insufficiently oxygenated and poorly nourished. WIth a proper proportion, the vital functions are quickened and the entire system fortified. Pepto-Mangan("Gude") is a hemoglobin producer, because of the quickly assimilable organic iron and manganese which it contributes to the devitalized circulatory fluid existing in cases of Anemia, Chlorosis, Amenorrhea, Dysmenorrhea, Bright's Disease, Chorea, etc. Sold in eleven ounce bottles only; never sold in bulk.

The Pallid School Girl. In view of the modern methods of education, which force the scholar at top speed, it is not to be wondered at that the strenuous courses of study prescribed for the adolescent girl more than frequently result in a general break-down of both health and spirits. Each winter the physician is consulted in such cases and almost always finds the patient anemic, nervous and more or less devitalized. In most instances a rest of a week or two, together with an efficient tonic, enables the patient to take up her school work again with renewed energy. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is just the hematinic needed, as it acts promptly to increase the red cells and hemoglobin, and to tune up the organism generally. it is particularly suitable for young girls because it never induces or increases constipation. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/8f1c1bb16dcf682801a60347986412d6.pdf b7e78ff1b9e2509ab254741bbe8a7875 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/71f2c6cb813ae34295f257bbb07b9f79.pdf ed83c57601d3fbc4dff2297e50d53e6d https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/daa546cc7293cc82ba82ec152b2dc6fd.pdf 4b9799c3ebf216c265be16b4e94deae1 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/653482f25fc236ff784eaae37e09c5e8.pdf 7cc97b57ea03605cb0bd22e265c07f6c https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/bc36d4fe1e61c264134c4fb358cd9340.pdf ea18c0ab6098e9ddef53d550c7798a27 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/3c240f5e55d2e391cf6a788846d24846.pdf 2a3f0ddf1b8998f81d900dfbd7e745db https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/25d6ef7c9fa5ceee8c52e46078733684.pdf 9a4dcce320fd0170bccf32279cf5086b https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/e6f24665c910cd692457b062f8063352.pdf a879826db9aa3ca49dd748e7f8a4607d Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

This metal is, indeed, the physician's mainstay in such cases, and cannot successfully be ommitted or replaced. There does exist, however, considerable difference of opinion as to the method of administering iron and as to the most generally eligible preparation of same. The tincture of the olden times, prepared from iron filings, has in these later days been superseded by the less irritant and more tolerable preparations introduced into modern pharmacy. Among such products none has seemed to be so generally acceptable and promptly assimilable as the organo-plastic form represented by Pepto-Mangan (Gude). The ferruginous element in this preparation exists as a true peptonate, in combination with organic manganese, iron's side-partner in reconstructive blood therapy. It is palatable, readily tolerable, quickly absorbable and assimilale and entirely free from irritant or constipating effect. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) rapidly restores vigor to the circulating fluid and because of its blandness and ready tolerability is especially valuable in pediatric practice. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/6f66002a0c76d8d95d9204c56ab35a11.pdf 779b5a7e89da7c90b1305c4fa62435bb https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/45eddd359010da27e2a18ea7ea4d705e.pdf 0931a38eff284733cc42dde39925ec8a https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/310ee45753c10c7b888e8a1d5483216b.pdf 047e949cf0b88ec9302fcd9478d934f9 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/b43237ef1714208f293397e11c77328f.pdf d421b5b4181c3f54a331f0e58e4f4548 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/d6e070849be210ab5fef8a10bc5cc4a0.pdf cece2f0d3c2d13a93284b17c5085c97a https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/286f2263de79d15805f7d6209b6bc8d5.pdf 92da8c5f7fe944f62200899eddd14213 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

What Is Best in Tonics? Many people, and perhaps a few physicians, are inclined to consider the terms "tonic" and "stimulant" as more or less synonymous and interchangeable. This, of course, is not the case, although some agents employed medicinally may partake of the properties of both and be properly known as "tono-stimulants." Strychnia, for instance, is a heart stimulant but may also be considered as a general nerve and systemic tonic when given in small and frequently repeated doses. While a stimulant alone is sometimes indicated in conditions of emergency, its long continuance almost certainly produces an after depression. It is sometimes advisable, however, to give stimulant and tonic together in conditions of serious general depression, the first to "boost" the vitality and the second to hold it at the point to which it has been raised and to restore the general tone of the organism. An ideal combination of this nature is Pepto-Mangan (Gude) to which has been added the proper dose of strychnia, according to indications. This combination is especially serviceable in the convalescence of exhausting diseases such as typhoid fever, pneumonia, La Grippe, etc. It is also of much value when the heart needs support and the general system requires upbuilding. Pepto-Mangan restores vitality to the blood by increasing the number of red cells and the percentage of hemoglobin, and the strychnia assists in rendering the combination a peculiarly efficient general bracer and permanent reconstituent. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/44c8a5c3b10ae763e512188ecb3cb377.pdf cb100dc3dc58bc9a5583707b6d2383d2 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/b43b09f551ffe05e19f16a2f40fda60d.pdf e6940bb8a230f6fe5b2ed41c3ada3c90 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/a2b9fe4fdf91457693d3064c0f788a25.pdf cb4e9a5c7edfc10cbb8e7a4e75915c47 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/8873bf05d3ae7012118ab092ac5f6970.pdf 17d4ffe717e846f734c93f0fbcea0fc9 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/7b33ee619eb2a145bd34a7d142b411de.pdf 4c9857cba9eeeccc12f76b402b29170f https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/97661c73f99abffe65fa16d300e8cbf8.pdf 77dda16e9c058bf02ff4d1da9a92fcc3 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/e93383d9b478855cad15983352f24b0c.pdf 15ddf40a4e14d3bb692cd67a9eee9dc5 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/02bcd85a39dce109a4f0f4ec236e855b.pdf 9bfe1d4b2e7acb1700c130772fe1bfed Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

"Milk Diet" Anemia. While it is generally conceded that milk is a complete aliment in the sense that it represents the three essential food elements, i. e., proteids, carbohydrates and fats (together with inorganic salts and water), it is equally well known that this otherwise highly nutritive fluid is exceedingly poor in iron. It is not to be wondered at, therefore, that after a prolonged milk diet, some degree of Anemia is very likely to supervene. This is especially true after a long-continued Typhoid, as well as in cases of chronic nephritic disease, in which milk is the principal or exclusive food. The occurrence of such a "milk diet" Anemia seems to be, in many instances, responsible for a tardy and protracted convalescence. Such iron-poverty can be prevented by administering Pepto-Mangan (Gude) both during and after the milk diet period, thus supplying the essential iron in the most easily tolerable, non-irritant and promptly assimilable form. This palatable organic, ferruginous compound is entirely free from disturbing effect upon the digestion, and does not irri-tate, nor constipate, nor does it in any way interfere with such other treatment as the physician may see fit to adopt. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/d0443c70e6829d95c798074652821324.pdf 05de33890275536a426791bfcfff8d6b https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/aac173522255e6be05b0d021f4ef5adb.pdf c6f361c34751489f00e4ab60f5d94ad9 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/ce8ceaa93ac08e5a4b4212555a0600ac.pdf 1ec045aa4f585b7d6cb9d5962ab23f99 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/e55dc0e4f1523201273325f63e3f3725.pdf 7e756a471b4eae49398cd7138560c369 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/9d7d9336cb5d988c636c477d00e419af.pdf a15853826850ba6f9d717e8fdf63f791 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/ecf00c1e515a17dfa40fcc068ce61da7.pdf 53a6b0669a9da92bebb10f16e67957f5 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/e4cef22f781f071330d4471f7e0ce8a0.pdf d2210db33912fcaec8607113ca9d5f1c https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/4f5a4bd898dcd0f6899b58a2645f3a00.pdf 8cab96db40d765423dd293473ca19301 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

Surgical Suggestions. Granulations, or small mucous polypi, often form in the lower portion of the urethra and cause frequent and painful urination. They can easily be removed after the free application of a 2 per cent. cocain solu-tion.

Chronic Ill Health. Scarcely a day passes, in the life of the busy physi-cian, during which he is not consulted by at least one patient who is the unfortunate subject of chronic ill health, from one cause or another. The different factors responsible for long continued invalidism are varied and diverse, but if we exclude organic disease, such as carcinoma, tuberculosis, syphilis, etc., the large majority are neurasthenics and dyspeptics. Of course every physician realizes that the term "neurasthenic" is unscientific and that it is employed, for want of a better name, for the well-known group of symptoms most often noted in the city dweller. who has "burned the candle at both ends" or whose occupation and environment is such as to produce general as well as nervous devitalization. The chronic dyspeptic is usually a neurasthenic, in whom the digestive symptoms predominate, and who generally requires the same reconstructive treatment and regimen. Nerve tonics, stimulants, "pick-me-ups," etc., are usually not only useless, but harmful, and so-called "nerve foods" are but therapeutic "will o' the wisps." Nutrition and blood glandular reenforcement is the essential indication and there is no general reconstructive and reconstituent that shows more prompt and potent effects than Pepto-Mangan (Gude), a ferruginous and manganic restorative and blood-builder of proved and undoubted efficiency, entirely free from the irritant, corrosive, astringent and constipating effect of the ordinary preparations of metallic iron. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/ad9adaf26c1bfa784714e92f6644ec27.pdf 3487fc1f03e45efc2df121662959a9ac Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

Right to the Point. The writer was recently informed of a certain wealthy lady in this city, whose servant became afflicted with eye trouble. She forthwith sent the servant to one of our leading oculists. The doctor, when asked for his bill, replied: "Five dollars"-she having made in all five visits to his office, at the end of which time she was pronounced cured. A few days later the lady herself had the same condition develop, and at once consulted the sane oculist. She made the same number of visits to the doctor as her servant; whereupon she, too, was cured. On the first of the month following, the doctor sent in his bill for fifty dollars, upon receipt of which the lady hastened to his office and demanded satisfaction, why, under exactly similar circumstances, her servant should be charged five dollars, and she herself fifty; that it was outrageous, etc., etc. The doctor's office was filled with patients, who were greatly amused, apparently, at his expense. However, he had an expedient; and turning, in his mild-mannered tone, he said: "Five dollars, madam." Turning to the cashier, he said: "Cashier, place Mrs. So-and-so in the pauper list. "The lady, finding herself caught in her own trap, had slyly left the doctor's office.-Portion of editorial on "Doctor's Bills," in North American Journal of Diagnosis and Practice. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/d99fb3b583b81f28a6b7383e2740129c.pdf 9c0edfb379ef3608985e7ce991bbba52 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. The Neglected Therapy of Convalescence. The physician of education and experience,who keeps in touch with the progress of medicine generally, is well informed as to the treatment of most of the "thousand and one" ills that he is called upon to combat. The diagnosis and treatment of acute conditions, as well as the successful management of the more chronic affections, are subjects which he is constantly investigating and studying. It so happens, however, that after the dangerous shoals of medical navigation have been successfully negotiated and when the crisis or danger point has been passed, the physician is all too liable to relax his vigilance and to allow the patient to convalesce without sufficient attention to the therapeutic details of this important period. While the feeding of the convalescent is of great importance, the medico-tonic treatment is equally essential, in order to improve the appetite, tone the digestive, assimilative and eliminative functions generally and to hasten the time when the patient shall be once more "upon his feet." Among all of the general reconstituent and supportive measures in the therapy of convalescence, none is more essential than the reconstruction of a blood stream of vital integrity and sufficiency.Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is distinctly valuable in this special field, as it furnishes to the more or less devitalized blood the necessary materials (iron and manganese) in such form as to assure their prompt absorption and appropriation. One especial advantage of administering these hematinies in this form, is that digestive disturbance is avoided and constipation is not induced. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/0a76ff975e98553d627a07e3302149ae.pdf 3ba0b63c0f1fbba5961e84a33dceca28 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/125d2ba33e51936053966795d0a8c277.pdf fd3effb64fc2b6878dda60c8b4530247 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/4d6932c7a5a2cc6c99fbd948790a52d7.pdf 7e594bfcf0017fcee3c6e44345f25a36 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/455d51f1b2a292e5c0a9561db911b01f.pdf 5f5b8daff9fb3a69e5fd7e2d8c3ebff7 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/45c8db969a1bdc248f8ec49c8a93bbdc.pdf c1818a4b0e312931c6e583f13a08f621 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/31e9bf47963e6904864d6c1420511510.pdf ea2cc143db76dc15251f5098935c0cd5 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/a0cfaed71a6867772869c33c281ae4fb.pdf ef4517fc301ba5b73ffaa860713fad9d https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/84ed7d85134d985e12af2ff7273d508a.pdf 8d06dad31676a37f1cb787ed698843af Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

On the other hand, of course, malarial recrudescences are sometimes precipitated by operation and by parturition; and too, it is important to bear in mind that malarial seizures are occasionally marked by vomiting and localized pain and tenderness in appendix region, easily leading to a mistaken diagnosis.-Amer.

Menstrual Disturbances. Dr. Edward C. Hill, of Denver, Colorado, discusses the disturbances which are such frequent concomitants of puberty in girls and lays stress upon the importance of hygienic measures, exercise, proper diet, rest from too much intellectual labor, etc. The presence of anaemia and chlorosis call imperatively for the administration of iron. Haemoglobin is valueless, because chemistry proves that when haemoglobin is taken into the stomach it is changed by the acid there to hematin, which, according to Cloetta, passes down the alimentary tract without being absorbed. As to the inorganic compounds of iron most authorities maintain that in order to be absorbed, they must first be changed to albuminates by combining with food matters. All albuminous substances are hydrolyzed to peptones before they are capable of absorption. Hence it follows that a peptonate of iron is the preparation most likely to be readily and completely absorbed and assimilated. The best remedy of this composition is, insthe author's opinion, Pepto-Mangan (Gude), which he has used for the past ten years with great satisfaction, particularly in the hemic and nutritive disorders of female puberty. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/ccf85ec6e0ef760b46f4937a4f716260.pdf 93ae373ad20c2f7cddcbea427ac9257d https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/034426ae995d1bd1d82fc1322e103fe0.pdf b686f9be405234a6138d7597950d0500 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/c0e743e3d8909e2dac8faa8317d4d71b.pdf 9142075ae5a8eb580318cfb5616ffa60 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/20b5003401e13d488d75ecf69eb501ad.pdf a3eda330788d0186d12a33a9632750f5 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/862579986acb98f720123d859cb2609b.pdf b28ace87e27bd27bc606e68dc83d84db https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/a58e446853ed72007d559e2d80226763.pdf cf37e2cb36a21cd459d876f023160263 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/373f6c22bfcbcdbcfb7b9bda80044c9b.pdf 25bc097c6fb41f12c3992a9a6962ce5a https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/3a195d6cd361686b1cb99a4663093f00.pdf dda9d13397e4058d6a2489be87906425 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. The Life of the Flesh IS the Blood The vivifying, nutrifying, force-engendering power in life resides in the crimson stream which is constantly pumped through the vascular channels to feed the hungry tissues. Pepto-Mangan("Gude") is a true "blood builder." It supplies the deficient hemoglobin in cases of Anemia, Chlorosis, Rickets, Amenorrhea, Dysmenorrhea, etc., by infusing organic iron and manganese (oxygen-carrying and hemoglobin-making elements) into the depreciated circulating fluid.

The Salt Pack in Rheumatic Gout. Dr. Jonathan Hutchinson says (Polyclinic) that he knows of no remedy so effectual in getting rid of the irritability and synovial infusion, in connection with rheumatic gout, as the salt pack. This consists of flannel, soaked in a saturated brine of common salt, which is wrapped around the affected joint, covered with oiled silk and a bandage, and kept on the whole night. It should be applied every night until the cure is effected. Med. Record. Modern.-The Przmbgnzanzki-Zut Reaction.

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." https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/9d2480e49f09bb5dc7c1b2b8f60869e8.pdf 7a6f1ad002208a1349d608f398d768f8 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/eceab09d16bc72c620fad3492bbf716b.pdf 4026de717e712043b85039dee7f83043 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/34dc5a4bc76c9e1efc0eae7820a1ab0a.pdf 63090e7f8c59354402a4cf0cc8e5c4fd https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/c695c8a670ae245514c7cef2b7a09c6b.pdf 87ce41d5bde7abf8a233f76f05a7d67f https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/9854552f25f418240c6076da0bebe2dd.pdf eb6de69a542379ab7caf7c5f02858ded https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/8d283407b31c8307f8ea6a41638ea63f.pdf 42a9e921fc98815fa5fd7434be38cf82 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/c71d4e6fbc66c37db3884a6e4e854041.pdf 03a175bcda66f48352732e91e6af53d9 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/da00ad415b711b7ff7120b08fb6f1b4c.pdf bf56b6530718cb2afbe39c7e5acd82a0 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. <u>A POVERTY</u> of Systemic Iron is a <u>VITAL</u> Poverty: <u>A RICHNESS</u> of that Metal is a <u>VITAL</u> Wealth: Pepto-Mangan("Gude") furnishes, in promptly available form, the absorbable iron that encourages the construction of red cells that include the hemoglobin, that supplies the hematin, that combines with the iron, that carries the oxygen, that stimulates and maintains the reciprocal waste and repair of tissue, that constitutes life and living, It is thus of unquestioned value and anemic and chlorotic conditions and whenever a general reconstituent and vitalizing agent is indicated.

Menstrual Losses. Dr Julius Heitzmann reports the employment of Pepto-Mangan with much success in chlorosis and in cases of anaemia in girls and women due to loss of blood, menorrhagia, inflammation of the pelvic organs, peri-and parametritis or prolonged leucorrhea. He says: "In almost every instance I observed within a short time increase of appetite, improved nutrition, healthier color of the face and increase of weight. I was surprised to learn how much more readily the Pepto-Mangan was taken than similar preparations, without ill-effects even after protracted use."-Allgem. Wiener Med. Zeitung. (From Medic. Chirurg. Central Blatt.) Dr. Otto Roen says that all the chalybeates hitherto in use do not satisfy the chief requirement, namely, a neutral reaction, and lack one important factor so necessary in the treatment of chlorosis and anaemia, namely manganese. In Pepto-Mangan (Gude) it has been found possible to unite all the advantages and eliminate all the disadvantages of ferruginous preparations. As seen from the published literature-which he reviews-clinical experiments extending over ten years have proved it the iron preparation par excellence, the only one in which manganese plays a prominent part as an oxygen carrier to the blood. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/757e819d4af4c7c4cb5d5edfdd404184.pdf bf3955358979357646f48196695d590e https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/69e52745159a7c9579167566e285217e.pdf e78e94d015ed889f5e756fc4def0c463 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/07e1436f7868599e2a82cd1de2aff552.pdf 8bd00076bc65fd6435461808c296f0c7 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/3cda00f83bf4b1874a32448a8c567657.pdf 32f0dc6fda9e8620925f6f18c6ebe056 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/8b8bc6ec4042fa20108702bf4ac058b4.pdf 1f4481a297c4eda3317fde9d7285fe73 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/9641c461b02dcce542cb49122fcecdb3.pdf 08271367bb65d2c28888e332020bfbe1 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/70f5272a75e0d9226da91354a2283a3c.pdf b0ea9f77e4cb8d90e86a0b0c053a00f4 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/027a0c45794ba5ae100de72edb8722d4.pdf a7f0c7333a18b76d175a365b20a020d9 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

Infantile Stools. The following summary is appended to a paper contributed to the Physician and Surgeon by Dr. Charles Douglas (Medical Review of Reviews) : Green stools are never healthy. They always show imperfect digestion. The damage to the child is in direct proportion to their presence. These stools render children more susceptible to acute gastro-enteritis in hot weather. The high infantile Summer mortality follows children suffering from this colored stool. Through unhealthy nutrition the blood is poisoned and the various tissues are improperly nourished. The excreting organs, particularly the kidneys and liver, are frequently damaged by the extraordinary duties imposed on them in the elimination of these poisonous results from the blood. The continued irritation and innutrition favors the development of inherited diatheses and acquired cachexias. No child is free from complications dangerous to life, or from developmental errors, who suffers from frequently-recurring green-colored stools, particularly the very liquid and foul-smelling ones. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/dff457fc397479cccca05d5179febb87.pdf a9e6185d613314e7cfc59741ca2983ff Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. In Surgical Convalescence. In order to find out the best hematinic for surgical cases, Dr. S. C. Emley, late Pathologist Augustana Hospital, Chicago, administered various preparations, with the permission of Dr. Ochsner. The preparations used were malt with iron and manganese; malt with iron, quinine and strychnine; Blaud's pills and Pepto- Mangan (Gude). He tabulates the results and says: "After watching the effects of the medication on the patients, and observing the records, it is seen that Blaud's pills acted quickly, but constipated; the malt combinations caused nausea in a few patients, and the malt, manganese and iron combination caused constipation in nearly all. The Pepto-Mangan given in milk was agreeable to take, and in no case did it cause nausea or constipation. While in two cases the Blaud's pills acted more quickly than Pepto-Mangan in two similar cases, on the whole the latter gave better and quicker results than any of the others, and at the same time caused no digestive disturbances in any of the cases." https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/8e5706c3e46873e2bbec163deac598d8.pdf 6374aee158cdba607718290e47e919be Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

Infantile Gastro=Enteritis. Dr. Boyce W. Knight, New York, in American Medicine, contends against the starvation principle in treatment. While he discontinues the use of milk, he puts the patient on a diet of veal or chicken broth, barley water, or one of the dried cereal-containing milk foods. He irrigates the colon but once or twice, during the first twenty-four hours, with sterile water at 100 degrees F. Salol, calomel and castor oil are the principal drugs advocated. He Knew Her Destination. A young physician was once called in by a gentleman who had a very sick mother-in-law. After looking into the case carefully, the young M.D. called the gentleman aside and said: "Well, the only thing I can suggest is that you send your mother-in-law to a warmer climate." The man disappeared and came back with an axe a moment later, and exclaimed: "Here, doctor, you kill her. I really haven't the heart."-Argonaut. Baltimore Charity. At John Hopkins Hospital a story is told of a woman who, after being treated, lingered in the dispensary. "Is there anything further, madam?" a young doctor asked.

Autumnal Ailments. The Autumn months constitute the season during which the average practising physician is called upon to treat the following conditions: I. Typhoid Fever, which is, more often than not, contracted at some unhygienic Summer resort. The patient may return home during the first week or so, with headache, malaise, etc., or the premonitory or primary symptoms may áppear after reaching home. 2. Malarial Infection, in certain sections, which is more than usually rife in the Spring and Fall seasons. 3. The after results of the gastro-intestinal disorders of infants and young children, due to improper feeding, etc., during the heated term. In almost every instance, when the acute symptoms have subsided, a condition of anemia and general devitalization is the final result that constitutes the essential indication for treatment. In convalescence from all forms of illness resulting in general debility, Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is the one ideal tonic and reconstructive. It not only revitalizes the blood, but also tones up every physiologic function. It stimulates the appetite, improves the absorptive capacity, increases energy and ambition and restores the blood to its normal condition. It is, thus, a general tonic and reconstituent of marked and certain value. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/34fd6259374026f8d5cc6de827439220.pdf dd34c67a41d33510d4e8bc9511a28fab https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/63b75e140e2b6beef500c62da7bfa567.pdf 1da29d0cba5eb5e924446f9a5c30f8d1 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/02cca6d0426a7c09b881a943a120475d.pdf 6f8a9b69af220843c09f272233204bd9 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/b176564e4ae20394196577eca26ee793.pdf 47884a1bc2a70d1e0570b324a58e222b https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/0c2708e175410564e7fb734e33bff2fe.pdf f2a27e33f05a2a606ebce2317799966a https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/7768c6591fb6319801e1b4db82da2d23.pdf 96a8e49ad0a2f3003e82f9bee535f578 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/f36a4d6fb65ddded19d082414c6b4432.pdf e74b980b56f7f3d7e5b8ecae0cbe43ef https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/5bd6baef19eec5d22975277ca120cbe2.pdf c1ba1cf8073e072c926474d9cc11cd8e Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

Bites of Insects. Neal writes to the China Medical Journal for March, 1912, that he has found the following procedure very useful: Take one ounce of Epsom salt and dissolve it in one pint of water, wet a bath cloth so that it will not drip and rub the body well all over; do not wipe afterward but dress, and flies, gnats, fleas, bedbugs, mosquitoes, etc., will never touch you. If one is exposed more than usual, being near water, or in a forest, then make a somewhat stronger solution, wet a cloth and rub the face, neck, ears, and hands well-do not wipe, but allow it to dry; it will leave a fine powder over the surface that the most bloodthirsty insect will not attack. Besides, the solution is healing and cleansing; it will heal the bites, subdue the consequent inflammation, and cure many diseases of the skin. Exact Obedience.

Prepare for School Days. And now the little army of young humanity, after the long vacation, trips back to school to commence the long period of mental and bodily stress and strain inseparable from indoor confinement and long hours of work and study. Is it not the part of wisdom to see that they are well prepared for what, to many of them, is really a serious ordeal? If the boy or girl (especially the girl at the age of puberty) is anemic, easily tired, pale and listless, it is certainly a good plan to correct this condition at once, rather than to wait until the condition is more serious. If the young pupil is fortified by the toning and building up of blood and tissue, the prevalent school infections, measles, scarlet fever, and diphtheria, are much more likely to pass them by. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is especially indicated as a blood tonic and general reconstituent for children, as it is palatable, easily taken, free from disturbing effect upon the digestion, and devoid of constipating action. It can be taken for any length of time without danger of injury to the stomach, and its effect is soon noticeable in increased appetite, improved color, better spirits and increased weight. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/bd7fb15e77d7b37657c668a1d6bcf973.pdf d17265786770d6232c3da7aa5a5dbc04 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/09f15292906889be28161c3f4435d1db.pdf 1f0306f8fd30b90e858334d645bb39c9 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/f24515779c3c1cb724f6c9ec76b961f6.pdf 80a58fdeacafa5da6e64850504a3a240 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/13ad8374aaa57282893c15b8fabd99f5.pdf f4c6f9ee6e75e606ab63bfbd2e4a02be https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/9cc762f56117fa5a9c13f168f6fe8d1c.pdf 97757132aa82bdce5eb33ec99f9beeea https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/c1e145b42038d2b20ae8016f088c6461.pdf a7322f51e578bed3c2f92862b3999e57 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/530810f9abe52136a4d86b355ecb1a13.pdf 7ef5d5256c80d44c40cf547bdfe3ef65 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/fc271d5183273b5de6a1b3633841dc05.pdf 4862aff25fefc8d90dd8b8cd6377f80e Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. The Blood Current of the Aged In old age the heart loses its pumping capacity, the arterial walls soften and the blood stream lacks sufficient force to properly circuit the lungs and receive oxygen. Increase the hemoglobin and the red corpuscles in the blood of the aged subjects and nutrition can be maintained at the proper standard. Pepto-Mangan("Gude") makes the blood rich in hemoglobin and red corpuscles, intensifies its affinity for oxygen and invigorates arterial circulation. It exhibits its blood-enriching, strength-imparting and regenerative properties most conspicuously when administered to persons of advanced age. M. J. BREITENBACH CO. NEW YORK, U. S.

The Return from the Country. Almost every city family, whose exchequer will permit, is accustomed to spend a goodly portion of the heated term away from home. This is both natural and salutary, provided good judgment is exercised in the selection of the country place or summer resort, as regards its general healthfulness and sanitary environment. Unfortunately sanitation on farms and in rural communities is not always what it should be and the result is that many health and pleasure seekers return in the Autumn depressed and run down or perhaps infected with malarial or typhoid poison. In other cases, especially at crowded fashionable resorts, because of the continual round of exciting amusements, some are tired and fagged out instead of rejuvenated as the result of their Summer's outing. Many are certainly in need of that general constitutional reconstruction and building up of force and resistance which is necessary to withstand the business or social strain of the fall and winter. In such cases there is no one single remedy quite as dependable as Pepto-Mangan (Gude). It increases appetite, restores strength and general vitality, reinforces the hemoglobin content of the blood and acts as a prompt and efficient general tonic and reconstituent for patients of all ages. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/6a27191032da896692a48065ae21717b.pdf 0d3326117cb1e0c08ff35d526e3ce4d4 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/864b0d3b990492f860bf42c96eaced7d.pdf 95c2b6cb7d625834adfb06c3c6cc820e https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/ca185f4c81f91759ede8750a7d3ee454.pdf 8e5a4d5fffe4db8e1b0673b23e0a72c6 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/b5017821b0196896383ec7a44ebc113c.pdf 474871edfb1a4381d37e5acdc40830af https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/06597944312dbf74ad3e00a09449fdb1.pdf 422c9000573722e31b707df81234f34f https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/0b00caffb4af8ecd0a8c22f6b4efae51.pdf 1d31f1f0e20274db9489829b426a6ca2 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/06a3c70e1530dfe81ecd33f417ca47c9.pdf 83b78674a225c39bda6861b10f2f677b https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/02cdf9f0d765fa1af1c04e709c2f48e4.pdf 2e7bcbfe31cfe28a4a76695417e41c6f Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. "The Best of Prophets of the Future Is the Past." An established reputation, based upon achievement and accomplishment, is a distinct asset. The past performance of Pepto-Mangan("'Gude") is the "prophet" of its future action. For twenty years it has been steadily building its reputation for building blood, in all conditions of Anemic Devitalization. It was the first of the organic combinations of iron and manganese with proteid material, and has since consistently sustained its leadership among similar preparations, and maintained its superiority over all imitations and substitutes. The principle of dignified ethical relationship with the medical profession only has been consistently maintained, and the therapeutic merit of PEPTO-MANGAN (GUDE) has never been honestly questioned. It is still the leading prescription hematinic throughout the civilized world, which fact we consider to be "True evidence of good esteem." M. J. BREITENBACH CO. NEW YORK, U. S.

Gynecological Hints. In the treatment of infection following abortion or delivery at term, when putrid material remains in the uterine cavity, this should first be thoroughly removed with the finger, blunt curette or forceps. Then an intrauterine douche of a weak antiseptic solution should be given, to be followed by another of sterile saline solution. Tincture of iodine, one ounce to two quarts of sterile water, is one of the best antiseptics to use in the uterus. Repeated intrauterine douches or medication of any kind is injurious to patients suffering from puerperal sepsis.-Waldo. A Premonitory Sign of Eclampsia. Cammaert found, in nine cases, paraesthesia of the legs, pruritus and drawing pains in the legs and in the abdomen, when there was albuminuria and eclampsia, these symptoms not being present in normally pregnant women. From this observation the author suggests that patients having these symptoms should be closely scrutinized for the purpose of determining whether such symptoms are premonitory of eclampsia, especially when albuminuria is absent.-Abstr.

The Malarial Anemic. Whether or not the much maligned mosquito is the intermediate host of the plasmodium malaria, certain it is that the campaign waged for this insect's extermination has not entirely ridden the country of the blood infection for which it is responsible. In addition to the chills, fever and sweating characteristic of the acute forms of the disease, which require immediate antidotal treatment, the physician must recognize the serious injury to the blood itself, due to the invasion and actual destruction of the red cell by the paludal organism. After the subsidence of the acute symptoms, a distinct globular anemia is the result, and unless this is corrected, a reinfection is extremely likely. To. prevent this and to avoid the development of a chronic malarial toxemia, a vigorous blood-building campaign should be instituted just as soon as the febrile movement is controlled. For quick and efficient reconstruction of the partially disintegrated red corpuscles and to encourage the rapid formation of new and functionally active erythrocytes, Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is especially serviceable. Steady treatment with this potent hematinic, for a period of several weeks, is practically certain to restore hemic integrity and place the patient in a position to ward off fresh infection, or quickly throw it off if invasion occurs. When the physician believes that arsenic is needed in the after-treatment, this drug can be readily added to Pepto-Mangan (Gude) preferably in the form of Fowler's Solution. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/f351d49206d48fb56a0d2708cafd8fef.pdf 0139daf9815c227ee2db0eb0de627b48 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/a4e25a53ba4831ae9430a1dab3bea67d.pdf d281ee8e6528b1abed2e59abff79ca5c https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/42e3f31b8f263b3bd38d1d017c659223.pdf 68ee3b5e541ace1dd06866a7e05b4039 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/406ce5220cd7e2d0633cb07de7ac4ebf.pdf 054284fcc4e97b2c2605bf00ff66cbea https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/d8050d61bc2e2f55da65118ccfe958bf.pdf 28dbd47375c21193288a4238dc9a9df5 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/2ad4d4a1e71092c8366895dc230d320a.pdf 75701da4e7d345ac6691efd167e7d4c4 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/2a64f7ec3c90feb010da0246ac115c55.pdf d416808f88f2defc2857a0f9ff6299bd https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/051d3ea0f7c71ca4096e8656cdff5646.pdf 1a0e0f6aa2782e1ae224f48c9b318fc7 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. THE "MOLIMEN MENSTRUALE" which marks the period of transition from girlhood to womanhood, depends for its success upon the vital integrity of the blood stream, especially its hemoglobin content. A chloranemic circulating fluid renders menstrual initiation difficult and almost impossible. Pepto-Mangan("Gude") because of the rapidity and certainty of its vitalizing effect, comes promptly to Nature's aid in the establishment of normal functionation, and at the same time markedly improves the general health and condition of the patient.

Adrenalin in Asthma. McCord, Medical Record, discusses the action of adrenalin in the treatment of asthma. He believes it reasonable to conclude that the agent increases the lumina of the contracted bronchioles, which dilatation is probably the cause of the benefit derived. The dilatation results whether the remedy is used subcutaneously, intravenously or endobronchially. The action is transient, but very effective in relieving an acute attack. The subcutaneous method is the most transient. The administration is easy and followed by no bad secondary effects. Celestial Repartee.

Calling one of the "Chinks" aside, he asked: "Why did you leave that duck on the grave? Did you think the dead man will come and eat it?"

Plasmodial Anemia. In spite of the modern theory of the etiology of malaria and malarial affections (mosquito-borne infection) this plasmodial disease continues to be rife in certain sections of the country and bids fair to be, like "the poor, "always with us." Every physician of experience appreciates the principles which should guide him in the treatment of the various acute manifestations of paludal poisoning, i.e., the destruction of the plasmodial hosts which have invaded the blood and which, if not eliminated, consume and destroy the red cells, the vital element of the circulating fluid. When this purpose has once been accomplished the patient is but partly cured; the damage done to the red corpuscles must be repaired and the vitality of the blood restored, if re-infection is to be avoided. If there is any one condition in which direct hematinic or blood-building therapy is positively indicated, it is in Post-Malarial Anemia. As soon as the febrile period has passed, iron, in some form, should be given in full dosage. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) constitutes the ideal method of administering this essential blood-building agent in this as well as in any anemic condition. Both the iron and manganese in Pepto-Mangan are in organic combination with peptones and are therefore easily and promptly absorbed and assimilated without causing digestive derangement or producing constipation. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/32cfe271d9907eb4f63b8848cd893e25.pdf a5d294a1b6203428294868733987cb6a https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/86a120e667d21953a8705040884aedf2.pdf 8783cab2b5f35f195652bbb5eb8122d0 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/1e00a9176d2ceb2ffaa118ad55693d4a.pdf 2d83c7debe9bf78037849a4e06647dbc https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/a537ad1d4e262c5a2728f6fe4c6da940.pdf 4361ed4710ed8ebf947386cc95dc47b9 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/026f185368a2d2e6c2e0443ab79ed55a.pdf 17c330c545511bf3218495b31fb79163 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/67e631bc873ae63bc197ca47350bffde.pdf 568938c6885445652ec759ad9ce6760c https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/c23925e48d54b75d2f1012eb764f5f1c.pdf dfc1f1776dccde770a1f4c50432589e7 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/d332d1c713cf55921061b2872ef478ea.pdf 2a2439cbd714a3f74ce523bd1dd0f2a4 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

Why prescribe sedative cough mixtures when a long uvula is the cause of an obstinate cough? Why fill a child with tonics when adenoids and enlarged tonsils are the cause of anemia? The tonsils are the cause of so much constitutional mischief that they should always be examined as a routine process.

Van Schaick, attending surgeonto the French Hospital and the St. Vincent de Paul Orphan Asylum, New York City, emphasizes the superiority of the organic preparations. In many instances, he says, they have shown a distinct superiority over the inorganic ones, and their greater palatability, together with the fact that they best forms they do not cause constipation and may usually be administered for any length of time, are distinct points in favor of their use. For several years past he made use of Pepto - Mangan (Gude) in all instances of aneamia complicating cases in his surgical practice with exceedingly good results. "The cases cited by Von Ramdohr and Emory Lanphear, as well as those I have observed, show that we have in such preparations as Pepto - Mangan (Gude) a means of obtaining good results with a certainty that is almost mathematical, and without any of the distressing symptoms so frequently following the use of the inorganic preparations." https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/78833920cdccfb942d829d3a8fbaca63.pdf 8fe1dae622822278d7a0d0504aa50cc7 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/723834c494141d2b1ef3a680d5de8db4.pdf 51dede556ba0d694070c0dd3461e4c44 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/25cd58cad6687e71ec5b3be242800b0a.pdf 0a5196ee6d8919bb71e7a5e5b96b69c5 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/9d24fe875a9db31ba4c407165a73cc03.pdf e187ec2769462f63eed45bbfabe5b901 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/75cabd0473d60c8992324c40680bd8cc.pdf 3c541372981b32de634c53e6fd1232cb https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/0d1f733c86a674922a4167312523e58e.pdf 9106b8a28b6fc171f04500003deee0b7 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/fcb64a5fa10ed1a7ee60a5f1694eb754.pdf 8a1440d69204859ba1436f787f1418ee https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/f172da6a525561284c7a86c1bd4341fc.pdf 937474cefaa5b3fa986daa108d831926 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

S. Chibas, senior assistant house physician, and Dr. G. A. De Santos Saxe, assistant pathologist, Columbus Hospital, New York, made a clinical and hematologic study of Pepto - Mangan in about 40 cases, twelve of which report in detail. There was a uniform increase in haemoglobin and red blood cells. The authors say: "In addition to the forty-odd cases which we studied this winter, Pepto - Mangan has been used in the hospital for over two years in anaemic convalescents. with uniformly satisfactory results. In none of the cases under observation did any untoward symptoms accompanyor follow the use of this preparation. In no case did constipation, nausea, headache, or digestive difficulties follow its administration." (From the Allg. Mediz. Central Zeitung.) Dr. S. Ascher, of Hamburg, reports having used Pepto - Mangan (Gude) in 80 cases.

Friday, October 9 Look to the Bowel. "At least two-thirds of all sickness is due to the decomposition or fermentation of food waste in the alimentary canal,as a result of which toxic bodies are formed that set up one diseased condition or another, either locally by irritating the mucosa, or remotely, through being absored into the blood-stream and then acting as direct poisons to every body tissue." When we stop to think how many people over-eat and under-excerise in these strenuous days, it is easy to belive this.

Like the Proverbial Pudding the proof of which is "in the eating," is Pepto-Mangan("Gude") the therapeutic value of which is proven "in the trying." That this pleasant tasting, neutral combination of organic iron and manganese is an efficient "blood builder" in cases of Anemia, Chloranemia, Chlorosis, Rachitis, etc., is shown: First-By the rapid improvement in the patient's color and general appearance. Second-By the increased number of red blood cells and the greater percentage of hemoglobin, as shown by instruments of precision. Do you want to make these tests for yourself?

Poultices as Sedatives. One reason why the old fashioned poultices fell into undeserved disrepute, says Solomon Solis-Cohen, Journal of Amer. Med. Association, was the fact that poorly made poultices necessitated such frequent change that the evil wrought by the disturbance outweighed the good done by the poultice. Well made poultices, retaining their heat from four to six hours, however, give so much relief from pain-thus acting as sedatives to the nervous system-that they may be classed among agents promoting rest. Fair Warning. A popular Cleveland doctor tells this story of a bright boy, his own, who had reached the mature age of nine after an early career marked by many wild and mischievous pranks. His restless nature has made him something of a torment to his teacher at times, and one afternoon not long ago she kept him in after the others were dismissed and had a serious talk with him. Perhaps she was a little afraid that her admonitions were falling on stony ground. Anyway, she finally said: "I certainly will have to ask your father to come and see me." "Don't you do it," said the boy. The teacher thought she had made an impression. "Yes," she repeated, "I must send for your father." "You better not," said the boy. "Why not?" inquired the teacher. "'Cause he charges $2 a visit," said the scamp.-Cleveland Leader. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/c721491163135f2735330ee2a72d1df8.pdf 8952de4121b7f48da9811196d614d97e Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. === The Post-Typhoid Tonic === It is usually at this season of the year that Typhoid Fever exhibits its maximum incidence, especially in the larger cities. One probable reason for this is the return of the army of families to city homes from the many more or less unsanitary summer resorts in country districts during the stage of incubation, and the subsquent development of the characteristic symptoms of the disease. As every physician realizes, the systemic poisoning is usually profound and the duration of the infection is such that the organism is almost always distinctly depreciated and devitalized after the four, five or six weeks febrile period. This condition of general systemic depression at the beginning of convalescence certainly indicates the necessity of reconstructive measures. As soon as it is safe to gradually increase the patient's dietary, it is also wise to commence tonic and hematinic treatment. Care must be taken, however, to avoid derangement of the digestion, and for this reason, Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is especially indicated as the most efficent, readily tolerable and generally efficient reconstructive and hematic. This organic combination of the peptones of iron and manganese never creates aversion, destroys the appetite nor causes gastro-intestinal irritation. Through its regular use Typhoid Convalescence is promoted and distinctly hastened. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/7809d5567c548987561af6f61bcf7fb8.pdf d2666fbfa9f8dcb7622d8fe2ab2a1f93 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/77702b446d003613d1b0c9c605ebce9f.pdf 9b306f3af081a978c39751c7be48c753 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/f61873ad40a0d1883018dfea611dbd74.pdf c1c20bfe44a35cb15ba24da27e69d36c https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/f1a85f1bc22ac2bf0f3f161da966c788.pdf e55f5c353fc750576c56fdd2a71646db https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/4790a560bbeea8f3533e55140398d084.pdf 70ebe535be62ba48840ec6165ffc6af1 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/20ae65595e8e655988529faf8e66a78b.pdf 03481553847e2cb8062f1598a20065c5 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/2dbdb85971ce36af8376692e1e5bd3d6.pdf a1adefc4388287f3f5976267ead66c4b https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/c8f906ef8895a0a4510ac5f1be79b8d6.pdf 54d81a909d50177f12d793d4445c4498 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

Coughs, Colds and Catarrhs In all but the most equable of climates, a very large proportion of the population suffers more or less from coughs and colds during the Wither months. Many individuals who, at other times, are apparently in excellent health, contract a cold almost as soon as the cold weather commences, and are scarcely convalescent before another attack occurs, until a sub-acute or more or less chronic naso-pharyngeal catarrh is established which is not thrown off until the Spring opens. The frequency of such respiratory affections during the Winter months is no doubt mainly due to surface chilling from frequent exposure to changes of temperature and the general lack of adequate ventilation of artificially heated houses, stores, offices and schools. Insufficient oxygenation, the longer "housing up" of the individual and the indisposition to open air exercise in cold weather undoubtedly serve to reduce the general vitality and the respiratory mucous membrane becomes less resistant and more readily subject to infective and catarrhal influences. When (as is usually the case) the patient cannot correct the unhygienic conditions referred to, it is the part of wisdom to tone up the general vitality of the patient and thus render his respira- tory tract more resistant to morbific influences. This can best be accomplished by prescribing Pepto-Mangan (Gude) as soon as the more acute symptoms have disappeared. A thorough course of treatment with this efficient blood builder and general tonic reconstructive very frequently places the patient in a position to successfully ward off further catarrhal attacks. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/fadc25edb3421a46b9f9491eb6c4cc19.pdf 2c756aee80ab9f56b29691ad0d98e865 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/d199e0d44da811985cd5e696295a108d.pdf ff3c7cb65c3f558333ff68f09d498bdf https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/d7f13344c110b5019f5719fb29ccfc8a.pdf 5d621a7dd66e49ecfd07623ed803a010 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/b9f1d60193bec69e2bb0276a792a5c83.pdf 142a8def77929f2de7f551fc2dff6247 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/0158eefff1f422a6a498c7f161fcffcc.pdf 94f951a8a51e62984c619d05c46771b2 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/e5f94d056a9f5884a36cbd067c4620ac.pdf 121ebc65d809cc6945584d95e69e9834 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/03b6bcf91379cc5b3921c6efd1a79f8a.pdf 371bc8f1dfd1777b8c3bf269ea9fc960 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/a6b10ba3f5373673c6774578baad89c1.pdf b67b83db5b2c6c8686c9d9e763b9d14b Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

Heart Palpitation. The distressing and excessive palpitation of the heart occurring in nervous, anemic persons can often be averted, according to Dr. G. F. Butler (Am. Journ. of Clin. Med., April, 1913) by bending double, the head down and the hands hanging so as to produce a temporary congestion of the upper half of the body. The heart not infrequently resumes its normal function immediately after such a procedure. Boiled and Raw Milk. Brenneman states that raw and boiled milk are clinically very different foods; that the most striking difference between them, as shown by experiments, is in their reaction to rennin; that the casein of raw milk, unless modified so that it will not form hard and large coagula, offers serious difficulties in digestion that are not present in boiled milk; and that these differences between raw and boiled milk should be borne in mind in comparing clinical, therapeutic, and experimental results in infant feeding.

Treatment of Cardiac Failure. M. A. Mortensen (Journ. Mich. State Med. Soc.) has seen great benefit, in a large number of cases of cardiac failure, from using a hot fomentation over the liver and abdomen, with a cold compress over the heart, followed by cold friction to the skin of the entire body. This procedure tends to diminish the con- gestion of the liver, which always accompanies a failing circulation, dilates the capillaries of the skin, and almost invariably gives some relief, at least in the first and second stages of broken compensation. The Physician's Advice. Once upon a time a very nervous man called on his physician and asked for medical advice. "Take a tonic and dismiss from your mind all that tends to worry you," said the doctor. Several months afterward the patient received a bill from the physician asking him to remit eighteen dollars, and answered it thus: "Dear Doctor-I have taken a tonic and your advice. Your bill tends to worry me, and so I dismiss it from my mind." Moral-Advice sometimes defeats its giver. Foreign Bodies in the Tissues. The best method for the removal of needles, thorns, and such foreign bodies buried in the tissues, according to Blair, of St. Louis, is that of raising a flap which has for its center the supposed site of the needle, etc. The part is rendered ischemic and an anesthetic, either local or general, is employed. The skin and superficial fascia are first raised and failing to find the foreign body, the deeper structures are raised, layer by layer, until the body is encountered. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/ed176c73ea10480c55a41eada9f7ebbc.pdf a9fe98fe826e0cdcd08676e40f798d62 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/6e6464990bde1bbd4d72fc0fcba2e9ec.pdf 54115db675e7d94367ad527337fe81cb https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/f0ca08609eaf7a5c18ce682a31e50f51.pdf 56f0e212f02c42b68e83c65dcabbac5d https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/5b062a557d99b27f2873aea2957b006e.pdf 7d82ec04872dd5f747df443855434012 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/82a14c3ac146f7c95486d80d3b2f2a7e.pdf b1bb7ec50c3498fd3ace354ffd5d1e6b https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/73e95599eafb6cd6b1a69652c2cb0406.pdf cc1448104d226babe5eeb1458cba8947 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/dee575dcbca6b72bfd0f82d0ca8ff791.pdf 28cebfb93adc5b9f4a424b3707484aae https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/ed64eb3235c7dadcdd5a0a866e0a6ac3.pdf 9b372a04b14e67756758cac6bf98396a Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Practical Hints Regarding Children. Always teach a nurse that a child cannot swallow as long as the spoon is between the teeth; that it is advisable to depress the tongue a brief moment and withdraw the spoon at once, and that now and then a momentary depression of the nose is a good adjuvant. The taste of quinine is disguised by coffee, chocolate and "elixir simplex." Powders must be thoroughly moistened; unless they be so the powder adhering to the fauces is apt to produce vomiting. Inunctions require a clean surface, and are best made where the epidermis is thin, and the net of lymph-ducts very extensive, as on the inner aspect of the forearm and the thigh. Babies, after having taken opiates for some time, demand larger, and sometimes quite large, doses to yield a sufficient effect. Febrifuges and cardiac tonics, such as quinine, antipyrine, digitalis, strophanthus, sparteine, convallaria, etc., are tolerated and demanded by infants and children in larger doses than the ages of the patients would appear to justify.

The Pneumonia Convalescent. In spite of all of the modern advances in scientific therapy, and the improvements in the general handling and management of acute infectious diseases, Acute Lobar Pneumonia still deserves the title ascribed to it by Osler: "The Captain of the Men of Death." There are, however, especially during the Fall and Winter months, many cases of the lobular or irregular Pneumonia that so often complicates or follows La Grippe. When this condition supervenes it is more than likely to follow a subacute or chronic course and. convalescence is frequently long delayed. Under such circumstances, in conjunction with treatment designed to hasten resolution, a general blood tonic and vitalizing agent helps materially to shorten the convalescent period. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is of much value in this field, because it not only increases the solid elements of the blood, but also acts as a true tono-stimulant to the organism generally. As Pepto-Mangan is free from irritant properties and constipating action, it is especially serviceable in the reconstructive treatment of the devitalization following the pneumonia of the aged. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/a681be3ef0a1258ff792a58d44d49e81.pdf 2e5c573cb2d60e6d13a27eeb2aa01d86 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Pyelitis in Infancy. The recognition of pyelitis in chidhood is usually easy, and yet it is overlooked again and again simply because the possibility of its occurrence is forgotten and the urine of an infant is seldom examined. Unrecognized acute pyelitis in infancy gives rise to prolonged severe fever, with profound constitutional disturbance, which may be fatal. Recognized and treated appropriately, it often subsides in a few days, and even if symptoms persist for a time they quickly become less severe, and generally soon yield to treatment.-Geo. F. Still; Pediatrics. The Ultima Thule of Specialism. At a meeting of physicians, one speaker was cynically deprecating the ultra-specialism of the age in medicine and surgery. Said he: "This rage for parceling out the human frame into special territories is passing all bounds. As it is, we have specialists for the nose, the throat, the ear, the lungs, the heart, the genit-urinary organs, the rectum, the mouth, the brain, etc. It seems to me, gentlemen, that it will not be long ere the specialist, like Alexander, will have to sigh for new regions to overcome. So far as I can see, the umbilicus is about the only portion of the human body not allotted to a specialist."

The Sequelae of La Grippe. Among all of the various acute and exhaustive illnesses that afflict mankind, there is none that so generally results in distinct prostration as epidemic influenza, or La Grippe. Even the grippal infections which are uncomplicated or unaccompanied by serious organic changes are more than apt to leave the patient in a thoroughly devitalized condition after the acute febrile symptoms have subsided. It is for this reasonthat the treatment of La Grippe convalescence is of special importance. The anemic, debilitated, depressed patient requires a systemic "booster" that will not only stimulate but revivify and reconstruct. It is distinctly, wise, in such cases, to commence vigorous tonic treatment as early as possible, preferably by means of Pepto-Mangan (Gude), the hemic builder and general reconstituent. This standard hematinic increases the vital elements of the circulating blood and, by increasing the appetite and improving the absorptive and assimilative functions, quickly restores both hemic and general vitality. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/2f9c1d30b615b4cb2cbd06b2f3ab44dc.pdf 015f817d6a4fc0fcc49c230b45feb642 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/fc8cb47fe01ab8375290987cc7fb8ce9.pdf 2193a39d390e0a032fd84dc2d269afc7 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/9b409b2aa93b1d3ba14cbd9844d314cc.pdf 63fec520381fcc594835d999ba0710a4 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/8c71de35ff969ccbc51de97cf5f8e54a.pdf 14cfb30dd5032ab22c5b2ba2d292d265 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

In Chorea and Anmeia Dr.R.W. Miller, Lecturer on Nervous and Mental Diseases and Proffeser of Theory and Practice of Pharmacy , University College of Medicine , Richmond , Va., states that he is strongly of the opionion that anaemia as an etiologic factor in chorea is worthy if investigation , and in cases where chorea is accompanied by anameia, Pepto= Mangan (Gude) is distinctly indicated and will improve both conditions. Three cases are given an illustration. Dr.Hermann Metall, assistant physician to the General Polyclinic at Vienna, says: "The advantage of this preparation (Pepto-Mangan) is that it exerts a simulating effect upon the blood-forming organs,these being excited to greater functional activity,and that the favourable effect manifests itself even within a short time by a increased oxygenation of the blood. At the same time this chalybeate, as already mentioned, cause no digestive disturbances and does not injure the teeth. He reports a number of cases with blood counts which demonstrates the excellence and efficency of Pepto-Mangan. He adds :" Unpleasent concomitant effects and disagreeble sequeale were never observed during the use of the remedy. Erucatations , pressure in the stomach and nausea were never noticed." https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/64a7562f2a6b440bd7b5b57b82ad7269.pdf d926a94efb7e9a420002fb4fb15280ff https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/9a88b76ce81c001412367f44d07424e2.pdf d2f44f32707620ac22dac5a4a31e7814 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/d60eca0d44ba644e80a159a05fc0f480.pdf 2b1b45ee16284d288631f0d61b3fcf3e https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/28ee86cb8fe60b4b198f228d2c19679d.pdf 6feae68394978be09f9c8d61d4c2cc64 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/f1fe3113ad88e4fe2000019b515f70ff.pdf 1e795754f1229c886c784c7ea4e9ce7f Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

The American, he was afterward told, was a bishop visiting one of his English friends among the clergy. The Briton was showing his friend and different phases of London life, and also London town itself, from the top of a 'bus. Two of lower class of Londoners, who sat in front of the churchman, were engaged in noisy argument, interlanding their conversation profusely with cockney slang and frequent introduction of that much used adjective among that class of people, "bloody." One stated that he was "bloody sure that the bloody bloke would come to some bloody bad end." The defender of the discussed one declared that he was "bloody glad to inform him that the boy was now a-goin' to some bloody school or other, and was a-gettin' bloody good." The loud conversation was annoying, not to say painful, to the bishop, who was not used to hearing that powerfully graphic old English word, which is so indiscriminately made use of by certain classes of British to qualify their adjectives and adverbs. Every time the word was uttered he winced as if with a little twitch of pain. At last he leaned depreatingly toward the offenders and said in conciliatory tones: "My dear friends, cannot you contrive to make your conversation a trifle more anemic?" - N. Y.

Life is short, patients fastidious, and the brethren deceptive. 2. Practice is a field of which tact is the manure. 3. Patients are comparable to flannel - neither can be quitted without danger. 4. The physician who absents himself runs the same risk as the lover who leaves his mistress; he is pretty sure to find himself supplanted. 5. Would you rid yourself of a tiresome patient, present your bill. 6. The patient who pays his attendant is but exacting; he who does not is a despot. 7. The physician who depends upon the gratitude of his patient for his fee is like the traveler who waited upon the bank of a river until it would finish flowing that he might cross to the other side. 8. Modesty, simplicity, truthfulness! - cleansing virtues, everywhere but at the bedside; there simplicity is construed as hesitation; modesty as want of confidence, truth as impoliteness. 9. Remeber always to appear to do something - above all when you are doing nothing. - Northwestern Lancet. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/f3efa5bb6c3eb7af5ec8a0c8fb06cedc.pdf c4c5a8729a3e3588d24e2983cc119fa0 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. == Sunday, December 27 == 361 DAYS PAST 4 TO COME === Evidence of Confidence. === A Michigan physician writes: "I think you will credit me with some confidence in Pepto-Mangan (Gude) when I am using it in my own family and have even refrained from disposing sample supplies to those patients to whom most supplies go, those who are not paying their bills." === Weather Temp. === Cold & Blistery Mrs Charley Priee was buried this afternoon, Evelie came & stayed with Melba, while we went.

A patient of his, who is a politican of more than local fame, cane to his office not long ago to consult him. After paying the consultation fee, $5, he asked the physician if he might use his telephone, to which the physician, his fee in his fob, gave a cheerful consent, withdrawing out of delicacy to another room while the conversation over the 'phone was being held. The patient finished after a while. "I'm very much obliged, doctor," said he. "Don't mention it, my dear fellow!" said the doctor. "Don't mention it!" The patient went his way. A few days afterward the physician received his monthly telephone bill. One of the items on it was "Conversation with Boston, $6.75" The doctor had talked with no one in Boston, but the date was the day on which the patient had borrowed his telephone, after paying his $5 fee. "He talked his fee to Boston, sure enough," says the physician, telling about it, "but seems to me the joke would have been just as good if he had stopped at that." https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/966c92efbb91a4aa6e20528cfb875193.pdf 957e252b56b2182c930bff762d60cba8 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

Heretoiore, the book has consisted of about two-thirds blank space and one-third printed space, and thus has been mailable as merchandise, instead of printed matter. Until the Parcel Post law became operative, it was mailable at the same rate of postage to all parts of the country; the new law, however, makes it obligatory to forward all merchandise by Parcel Post, and perscribes thawt all packages over four ounces in weight must be paid for as one pound, and at varying rates, in accordance with the postal zone for which it is intended. When it is considered that about 150,000 copies of this book are mailed, the physician can readily appreciate the almost impossible task of looking up the individual zone rate and affixing the required Parcel Post stamps to each copy. In addition to the infinite amount of time and trouble, which this would involve, it is practically certain that many copies would reach physicians of location, incorrect addresses, etc., etc. For the above reason, and especially because we do not wish to have any physician,pay a single penny in order to receive his copy, we have added a sufficient number of printed pages to render it classifiable as printed matter mailable at ounce rates, with ordinary postage, to all parts of country alike, as has been the case heretofore. In preparing copy for the additional pages, we have endeavored to render same intresting and instructive. It is hoped that the physician will continue to welcome and utilize the book, and that the few waifs of humor that have been interspersed may also be appreciated, when some idle moment makes it possible for the physician to look them over.</p> <p>M.

"Hello! what is it?" he asked, little please at the idea of leaving his comfortable bed. "Baby is crying doctor, what shall I do?" came across the wire. "Oh, perhaps it's a young mother, one of his patients. "No," was the reply; "I'm sure it can't be that." "Perhaps he has the colic," returned the doctor, with well simulated solicitude. "No, I don't think so," replied the mother, "he doesn't act that way." "Then perhaps he's hungry," as a last resort. "Oh, I'll see," came across the wirse; and then all was still. The doctor went back to bed and was soon asleep again. About half an hour afterward he was awakened by the violent ringing of the telepohone bell. Jumping out of bed and placing the receiver to his ear, he was cheered by the following message: "You are right, doctor, baby was hungry." - Healthy Home.</p> <p>She Liked the Hospital Not long ago at a provincial hospital an old woman, who was being discharged completely cured, was having a last interview with the house physician. "Well," he said, "you have to speak well of the hospital now, won't you?" And the old woman replied: "Ay, that I will, doctor. But, sure, I never spoke ill of it.

All phthisio-therapists agre that the therapeutic trinity of salvation for the tuberculous invalid is composted of: 1-Fresh, pure air, in abundance, both night and day; 2-A properly balanced ample supply of nutritious food; 3-Plenty of rest, especially during the febrile period. While medication is useless, unless the patient is properly fed, "ventilated" and rested, as aboved referred to; there is no doubt that intelligent medical treatement designed to promote nutition, is indicated in a majority of cases. If the tuberculous patient has been neglected for any length of time, some degree of anemia is almost always present. In such cases, an absolutely bland, non-irritant, readily tolerable and assimilable form of iron, such as exists in Peto-Mangan (Gude), cannot but be of benefit, by stimulating the formation of erythrocytes and hemoglobin, and thus augmenting the oxygen-bearing potency of the blood.

Littig, in Iowa Medical Journal, in a thor- ough discussion of the subiect, makes the following points:</p> <p><br />(1) That the sphygmomanometer is the most useful instrument in general medical work, and that an exam- ination cannot be considered complete unless the blood pressure has been accurately taken.</p> <p><br />(2) That the blood pressure at the age of twenty years may be assumed to be 120 millimeters, and that an increase of one-half millimeter for each year above this age is normal with a variation of 15 mm above or below the point so obtained (Faught).</p> <p><br />(3) That increased blood pressure indicates chronic interstitial nephritis in 75 to 80 per cent. of all cases, and in the other 20 and 25 per cent. it indicates either a splanchnic sclerosis, or a sclerosis of the aorta above the diaphragm.</p> <p><br />(4) With moderate increase in pressure, judicious exercise to stimulate elimination, and castor oil to pre- vent intestinal toxaemia are rational procedures.</p> <p><br />(5) Increased arterial pressure may be conservative and unless dangerously high, or compensation be broken, does not require either vasodilators or heart tonics.</p> <p><br />(6) If dangerously high vaso-dilators, as nitro- glycerine, nitrite of amyl, or nitrite of soda must be used, especially in cases of coronary sclerosis, as indi- cated by attacks of angina pectoris.</p> <p><br />(7) With failing compensation, digitalis becomes the remedy.</p> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <p>The Test of a Tonic.</p> <p>The field and function of a systemic tonic is gen- erally understood and appreciated by both physician and patient. To stimulate, whip or goad the vital pro- cesses is not to "tone," but, on the contrary, to ulti- mately depress. A real tonic is not a mere "pick-me- up," but some agent that adds genuine strength, force and vigor to the organism. The genuine tonic is a builder or reconstructor of both blood and tissue. Any agent which will increase the power of the blood to carry and distribute the life-giving oxygen is a tonic in the best and truest sense of the word. Iron in some form is an ideal tonic, as it builds up the vital red cells of the blood and the hemoglobin, which is their essential oxygen-carrying element. Of all forms of iron, none is quite as generally acceptable and readily tolerable and assimilable as Pepto-Mangan (Gude). It creates ap- petite, tones up the absorbents, builds the blood, and thus is a real tonic and reconstructive of high order. It is especially desirable because of its freedom from irritant properties, and because it never causes a con- stipated habit.</p> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <p>Sunday, January 11{diarist used extra-large letters} 11 DAYS PAST 354 TO COME</p> <p>Does Not Irritate the Gastric Mucosa.

The true test of a tonic is its action as a genuine reconstuctive rather than its temporary effect as a mere "pick-me-up." Pepto-Mangan (Gude) has, for nearly twenty years, been successfully playing the eminently useful role of a true tonic in all sorts of general devitilization.

This valuable hematinic is distincly palatable and entirely free from irritant or astringent properties. Its beneficent influence is nowhere better illustrated than in the after-treatment of the acute diseases of childhood.

The practice of giving nutrient enemata with a common Davidson syringe, with a rubber or metal nozzle, cannot be too strongly condemned. Irritation of the bowel, possibly hemorrhage, and imperfect absorption, are the result. A long, pliable rubber tube should be used; a large velvet-eyed catheter does very well, and this should be passed well up the rectum to the sigmoid flexure. About eight inches of tubing should be passed up in the child, and about ten to twelve inches in the adult. There is a good anatomical and physiological reason for this, as fluids absorbed from the sigmoid flexure and upper part of the rectum are carried to the inferior mesenteric vein through the superior hemorrhoidal and sigmoid veins, and so on to the liver through the portal vein. The veins from the lower third of the rectum pass directly to the inferior vena cava, consequently all proteid matter absorbed from the lower one-third of the rectum loses the further digestion in the liver so vital to its assimilation. If injected into the sigmoid flexure it causes less irritation, and there is less liability to rejection.<i>--Canada Med.

Hemorrhage, Supporation or Sepsis of course intensifies the post-operative chlor-anemia and renders more than ever necessary the employment of hematogenic measures during surgical convalescence. Judicious feeding alone will not hasten recovery as rapidly as a judicious combination of feeding with a hematinic reconstituent such as <b>Pepto-Mangan (Gude).</b> This palatable, readily tolerable and promptly absorbable organic combination of iron and manganese is distinctly indicated in preference to other blood-building agents, because it is agreeable, non-irritant and free from constipating effect.</p> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <h2><span></span><span class="mw-headline">Sunday, March 15</span></h2> <p>74 DAYS PAST 291 TO COME</p> <h3><span class="mw-headline">Pleurisy and Tuberculosis.</span></h3> <p>Every case of "cured" pleurisy should be closely watched for many months after the patient has been actually ill with the disease.

Something else than iron seemed to be lacking and some other remedy seemed to be required. It was Hannon who succeeded in demonstrating, in 1849, the presence of manganese in the blood, and in the same year Petrequin showed that iron and manganese decrease to the same degree in the blood of chlorotic persons, and therefore must be replaced in an equal measure. In 1857 Menke called attention to the pharmacodynamic significance of manganese in the mineral water of Pyrmont, while Prof. Rühle ascribed chlorosis to an impoverishment of the blood in manganese or iron, or both conjointly. The most recent researches have not only confirmed these statements, but have demonstrated that manganese acts more powerfully upon the oxygen of the blood than iron, and hence promotes assimilation more energetically than the latter. That notwithstanding these facts and experiments, the use. of manganese has not become more general, is attributable to the fact that prior to the advent of Pepto-Mangan, it was not found possible to combine both these hematogenic elements palatable, soluble and absorbable form.</p> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <p>Blood Genesis</p> <p>The formation of a rich, nutrient, circulating fluid which shall contain an abundance of red corpuscles of the necessary structural integrity.

This, of course, is not the case, although some agents employed medicinally may partake of the properties of both and be properly known as "tono-stimulants." Strychnia, for instance, is a heart stimulant but may also be considered as a general nerve and systemic tonic when given in small and frequently repeated doses. While a stimulant alone is sometimes indicated in conditions of emergency, its long continuance almost certainly produces an after depression. It is sometimes advisable, however, to give stimulant and tonic together in conditions of serious general depression, the first to "boost" the vitality and the second to hold it at the point to which it has been raised and to restore the general tone of the organism. An ideal combination of this nature is Pepto-Mangan (Gude) to which has been added the proper dose of strychnia, according to indications. This combination is especially serviceable in the convalescence of exhausting diseases such as typhoid fever, pneumonia, La Grippe, etc. It is also of much value when the heart needs support and the general system requires upbuilding. Pepto-Mangan restores vitality to the blood by increasing the number of red cells and the percentage of hemoglobin, and the strychnia assists in rendering the combination a peculiarly efficient general bracer and permanent reconstituent.</p> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <p>Count the Red Blood Cells</p> <p>Both before and after treatment, if you want an accurate scientific proof of the effective blood-building power of</p> <p>Pepto-Mandan ("Gude")</p> <p>Watch the mucous membranes of eye and lip, if you want a positive clinical demonstration of its value as an oxygen-carrying, hemoglobin-producing, chalybeate tonic in Anemia, Chlorosis, or Blood Impoverishment from any cause.

This is especially true after a long-continued Typhoid, as well as in cases of chronic nephritic disease, in which milk is the principal or exclusive food.

She made the same number of visits to the doctor as her servant; whereupon she, too, was cured.

The diagnosis and treatment of acute conditions, as well as the successful management of the more chronic affections, are subjects which he is constantly investigating and studying. It so happens, however, that after the dangerous shoals of medical navigation have been successfully negotiated and when the crisis or danger point has been passed, the physician is all too liable to relax his vigilance and to allow the patient to convalesce without sufficient attention to the therapeutic details of this important period. While the feeding of the convalescent is of great importance, the medico-tonic treatment is equally essential, in order to improve the appetite, tone the digestive, assimilative and eliminative functions generally and to hasten the time when the patient shall be once more "upon his feet." Among all of the general reconstituent and supportive measures in the therapy of convalescence, none is more essential than the reconstruction of a blood stream of vital integrity and sufficiency.Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is distinctly valuable in this special field, as it furnishes to the more or less devitalized blood the necessary materials (iron and manganese) in such form as to assure their prompt absorption and appropriation.

Haemoglobin is valueless, because chemistry proves that when haemoglobin is taken into the stomach it is changed by the acid there to hematin, which, according to Cloetta, passes down the alimentary tract without being absorbed. As to the inorganic compounds of iron most authorities maintain that in order to be absorbed, they must first be changed to albuminates by combining with food matters. All albuminous substances are hydrolyzed to peptones before they are capable of absorption. Hence it follows that a peptonate of iron is the preparation most likely to be readily and completely absorbed and assimilated.

The high infantile Summer mortality follows children suffering from this colored stool. Through unhealthy nutrition the blood is poisoned and the various tissues are improperly nourished. The excreting organs, particularly the kidneys and liver, are frequently damaged by the extraordinary duties imposed on them in the elimination of these poisonous results from the blood.

This is both natural and salutary, provided good judgment is exercised in the selection of the country place or summer resort, as regards its general healthfulness and sanitary environment. Unfortunately sanitation on farms and in rural communities is not always what it should be and the result is that many health and pleasure seekers return in the Autumn depressed and run down or perhaps infected with malarial or typhoid poison. In other cases, especially at crowded fashionable resorts, because of the continual round of exciting amusements, some are tired and fagged out instead of rejuvenated as the result of their Summer's outing.

In addition to the chills, fever and sweating characteristic of the acute forms of the disease, which require immediate antidotal treatment, the physician must recognize the serious injury to the blood itself, due to the invasion and actual destruction of the red cell by the paludal organism. After the subsidence of the acute symptoms, a distinct globular anemia is the result, and unless this is corrected, a reinfection is extremely likely. To. prevent this and to avoid the development of a chronic malarial toxemia, a vigorous blood-building campaign should be instituted just as soon as the febrile movement is controlled. For quick and efficient reconstruction of the partially disintegrated red corpuscles and to encourage the rapid formation of new and functionally active erythrocytes, Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is especially serviceable. Steady treatment with this potent hematinic, for a period of several weeks, is practically certain to restore hemic integrity and place the patient in a position to ward off fresh infection, or quickly throw it off if invasion occurs.

Every physician of experience appreciates the principles which should guide him in the treatment of the various acute manifestations of paludal poisoning, i.e., the destruction of the plasmodial hosts which have invaded the blood and which, if not eliminated, consume and destroy the red cells, the vital element of the circulating fluid. When this purpose has once been accomplished the patient is but partly cured; the damage done to the red corpuscles must be repaired and the vitality of the blood restored, if re-infection is to be avoided. If there is any one condition in which direct hematinic or blood-building therapy is positively indicated, it is in Post-Malarial Anemia.

One probable reason for this is the return of the army of families to city homes from the many more or less unsanitary summer resorts in country districts during the stage of incubation, and the subsquent development of the characteristic symptoms of the disease. As every physician realizes, the systemic poisoning is usually profound and the duration of the infection is such that the organism is almost always distinctly depreciated and devitalized after the four, five or six weeks febrile period. This condition of general systemic depression at the beginning of convalescence certainly indicates the necessity of reconstructive measures. As soon as it is safe to gradually increase the patient's dietary, it is also wise to commence tonic and hematinic treatment. Care must be taken, however, to avoid derangement of the digestion, and for this reason, Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is especially indicated as the most efficent, readily tolerable and generally efficient reconstructive and hematic.

Many individuals who, at other times, are apparently in excellent health, contract a cold almost as soon as the cold weather commences, and are scarcely convalescent before another attack occurs, until a sub-acute or more or less chronic naso-pharyngeal catarrh is established which is not thrown off until the Spring opens. The frequency of such respiratory affections during the Winter months is no doubt mainly due to surface chilling from frequent exposure to changes of temperature and the general lack of adequate ventilation of artificially heated houses, stores, offices and schools. Insufficient oxygenation, the longer "housing up" of the individual and the indisposition to open air exercise in cold weather undoubtedly serve to reduce the general vitality and the respiratory mucous membrane becomes less resistant and more readily subject to infective and catarrhal influences. When (as is usually the case) the patient cannot correct the unhygienic conditions referred to, it is the part of wisdom to tone up the general vitality of the patient and thus render his respira- tory tract more resistant to morbific influences. This can best be accomplished by prescribing Pepto-Mangan (Gude) as soon as the more acute symptoms have disappeared.

This procedure tends to diminish the con- gestion of the liver, which always accompanies a failing circulation, dilates the capillaries of the skin, and almost invariably gives some relief, at least in the first and second stages of broken compensation.</p> <p>The Physician's Advice.</p> <p>Once upon a time a very nervous man called on his physician and asked for medical advice. "Take a tonic and dismiss from your mind all that tends to worry you," said the doctor. Several months afterward the patient received a bill from the physician asking him to remit eighteen dollars, and answered it thus: "Dear Doctor-I have taken a tonic and your advice. Your bill tends to worry me, and so I dismiss it from my mind." Moral-Advice sometimes defeats its giver.</p> <pre>Foreign Bodies in the Tissues. </pre> <p>The best method for the removal of needles, thorns, and such foreign bodies buried in the tissues, according to Blair, of St. Louis, is that of raising a flap which has for its center the supposed site of the needle, etc. The part is rendered ischemic and an anesthetic, either local or general, is employed. The skin and superficial fascia are first raised and failing to find the foreign body, the deeper structures are raised, layer by layer, until the body is encountered.</p> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <p>Practical Hints Regarding Children.</p> <p>Always teach a nurse that a child cannot swallow as long as the spoon is between the teeth; that it is advisable to depress the tongue a brief moment and withdraw the spoon at once, and that now and then a momentary depression of the nose is a good adjuvant. The taste of quinine is disguised by coffee, chocolate and "elixir simplex." Powders must be thoroughly moistened; unless they be so the powder adhering to the fauces is apt to produce vomiting. Inunctions require a clean surface, and are best made where the epidermis is thin, and the net of lymph-ducts very extensive, as on the inner aspect of the forearm and the thigh. Babies, after having taken opiates for some time, demand larger, and sometimes quite large, doses to yield a sufficient effect. Febrifuges and cardiac tonics, such as quinine, antipyrine, digitalis, strophanthus, sparteine, convallaria, etc., are tolerated and demanded by infants and children in larger doses than the ages of the patients would appear to justify.

There are, however, especially during the Fall and Winter months, many cases of the lobular or irregular Pneumonia that so often complicates or follows La Grippe. When this condition supervenes it is more than likely to follow a subacute or chronic course and. convalescence is frequently long delayed. Under such circumstances, in conjunction with treatment designed to hasten resolution, a general blood tonic and vitalizing agent helps materially to shorten the convalescent period. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is of much value in this field, because it not only increases the solid elements of the blood, but also acts as a true tono-stimulant to the organism generally. As Pepto-Mangan is free from irritant properties and constipating action, it is especially serviceable in the reconstructive treatment of the devitalization following the pneumonia of the aged.</p> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <p>Pyelitis in Infancy.</p> <p>The recognition of pyelitis in chidhood is usually easy, and yet it is overlooked again and again simply because the possibility of its occurrence is forgotten and the urine of an infant is seldom examined. Unrecognized acute pyelitis in infancy gives rise to prolonged severe fever, with profound constitutional disturbance, which may be fatal. Recognized and treated appropriately, it often subsides in a few days, and even if symptoms persist for a time they quickly become less severe, and generally soon yield to treatment.-Geo. F. Still; Pediatrics.</p> <p>The Ultima Thule of Specialism.</p> <p>At a meeting of physicians, one speaker was cynically deprecating the ultra-specialism of the age in medicine and surgery.

As it is, we have specialists for the nose, the throat, the ear, the lungs, the heart, the genit-urinary organs, the rectum, the mouth, the brain, etc. It seems to me, gentlemen, that it will not be long ere the specialist, like Alexander, will have to sigh for new regions to overcome.

Even the grippal infections which are uncomplicated or unaccompanied by serious organic changes are more than apt to leave the patient in a thoroughly devitalized condition after the acute febrile symptoms have subsided. It is for this reasonthat the treatment of La Grippe convalescence is of special importance. The anemic, debilitated, depressed patient requires a systemic "booster" that will not only stimulate but revivify and reconstruct. It is distinctly, wise, in such cases, to commence vigorous tonic treatment as early as possible, preferably by means of Pepto-Mangan (Gude), the hemic builder and general reconstituent. This standard hematinic increases the vital elements of the circulating blood and, by increasing the appetite and improving the absorptive and assimilative functions, quickly restores both hemic and general vitality.</p> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <p>Wednesday, November 11 315 DAYS PAST — 50 TO COME</p> <p>The Embarrassed Digestion of the depleted anemic should not be punished by the administration of any of the old time corrosive, irritant, astringent, metallic, ferruginous salts.

I Come all young people far and near A dolful story you shall hear It was of a young man just twenty three was landed into eternity. II In eighteen hundred and fifty four this young man stood on scugog shore His gun was resting on a tree and he was waiting game to see. III But oh: alas how sad to tell the gun did ship and down it fell the charge went through his hand and head and wow he’s numbered with the dead. IV And when he saw what he had done he thought he’d try and reach his home but growing faint from lost loss of blood he had to set down on a log V And fearing that alone should die he for some help did loudly cry a young man to the place did come and quickly saw what he had done VI Then he assisted and conveyed he in a neighbur’s {neighbour’s} house was laid them for his parents he did run to tell what happened there {their} dear son. VII The parents then in grief and woe did quickly fly to his relief with many a groan they then did run cry for they soon saw that he must die. (8) For mercy he began to cry saying Lord prepare me for to die and Jesus showed his smiling face and offered him his smiling pardoning grace. �(9) The mercy that the sought was found which gave great joy to all around he saying I’m now prepared to die I hope that I shall reign on high. (10) Come dear sister kind and true your dying brother bid adue then round his bed they all did come while down their cheeks the tears did run. (11) Then they the parting kiss did take while in these words he then did speak he said onto his weeping mother Oh: where is now my little brother. (12) why don't he come and kiss me too for this will be my last adue my spirit soon will take flight To dwell with Christ in endless light (13) Now mother you must faithful be your son in glory you shall see and father you must mercy seek and then in heaven we all shall meet (14) My work on earth is almost done I have a glorious victory won. The love I feel no tongue can tell my dearest friends fare well, farewell. A bird in a gilded cage. I The ballroom was filled with fashion throng, it shone with a thousands lights. and there was a woman who passed along the fairest of all the sight. A girl to her lover then softly sighted there's reches {wretches?} at her command But she married for wealth not for love he cried. though she lives in a mansion grand (Chorus) She only a bird in a gilded cage A beautiful sight to see. You may think she is happy and free from case she's not how she seems to be, Tis sad when you think of her wasted life, for youth cannot mate with age and her beautiful was sold for an old man's gold. She a bird in a gilded cage. (2) I stood in the church yard just at eve, when the sunset adored {adorned?} the west, and looked at the people who came to give for loved ones now laid at rest A tall marble monument marked the grave of one who had been fashion’s queen and I though she is happier here at rest. Than to have people say when seen. �Little Bessie (I) Hug me closer mother put your arms around me tight I am cold tired mother, and I feel so strange to night something hurt me here dear mother like a stone whom my breast and I wonder Mother why it is I cannot rest. (2) All the day while you were working as I lay upon my bed. I was thinking {repeated: thinking} Mother of what you said how the kind and blessed Jesus loves his lambs to watch and keep. And I wish he come and take me, in his arms that I might sleep. (3) Just before the lamps was lighted just before the children came when the room was very quiet I heard some one call my name all at once the window opened. I a field where lamb and sheep some from out of books were drinking and some were lying fast asleep. (4) But I could not see the Savior though I strained my eyes to see and I wonder if he saw me if he'd speak to such as me. In a moment I was looking on a world so bright an {and} fair which was full of little children and they seemed so happy there. (5) They were singing sweeter mother than can sing our yellow bird. And while I my breath was holding one so bright upon my breast me smiled and I knew it must be Jesus, when he said come here my child. come up he little Bessie come up here and live with me. (6) Oh how much I love you mother But I feel so strange to-night and the mother pressed her closer to her over burdened breast. On the heart so near to breaking lay the head so was to rest. In the Solom {solemn} hour of midnight in the darkness calm and deep lying on her Mother bosom little Bessie fell asleep. she was bred in old Kentucky. (I) When a lad I stood one day, By a cottage far away and to that day all nature seemed more grand. for my sue with blushes red had just promised to be wed and I'd come to ask her Mother for her hound. As I told the old old tale, of a love that never would fail. The gray haired mother stroked her daughter’s head and I fancied I could trace Just a tear in the her kind face as she placed her daughter’s hand in mum and said. (Chorus) �She was bred in old Kentucky where the medow {meadow} grass in blue see the sunsshine {Above it reads: of the country} in her face and maner {manner} too. She was bred in old Kentucky Take her boy you’re mighty lucky When you marry a girl like Sue. (2) Many years have passed away since that well remembered day. When to that dear old Kentucky home I came and the happy mess of my life was my sweetheart friend and wife. For the sunshine in her heart remained the same. I am sitting alone in place we have long call home. For yesterday my darling passed away Though in tear of joy I think of that day when but a boy that I took her hand and heard his mother say. Barney Mccoy, or come to my arms Norah darling, I am going far away Norah darling And leaving behind it will break my heart into which I fondly give to you, and no other one so loving kind and true (Chorus) Then come to my arms Norah darling Bid your friends and dear old Ireland good-bye and its happy we will be in that dear land of the free Living happy with your Barney McCoy. (2) I would go with you Barney darling but the reason why I told you of before It would break my Mothers heart. If from her I had to part and go roaming with you Barney McCoy. (3) Iam going far away Norah darling Just as sure there a God that I ador{e}. But remember what I say that until the judgement day your will never see your Barney McCoy. (4) I would go with you Barney darling If my mother and the rest of them we there for I know we would be blest {blessed} in that dear land of the west. Living happy with you Barney McCoy. (5) I am going far away Norah darling and the ship is now at anchor in the bay and before the morrow’s sun, you will hear the signal gun so be ready it will carry us away. The little girl that played upon my knee. 1 Long years have passed and gone. since I left this dear old happy home I left an aged Father and Mother dear for to roam accross the deep blue sea. �(Chous) I am homeward bound. To the the one l love so dear no more for to roam accross the sea. I am going home to my dear old happy home and the little girl the played upon my knee. (2) And fortune smiles upon me for while into poverty chain set me free who would not give to me all the comforts that I find in the little girl that played upon my knee. (3) Oh jennie do you remember how can you forget those happy hours To me how she sighs, when she thinks of the days gone by she's the little girl that played upon my knee. (4) What means that long dark funeral train sad faces they all seem to be and in the hearse lies the form of the only one I love she’s the ll little girl that played upon my knee. (5) And now she's dead and gone to rest and in the cold day her beautiful form lies. How I wish that I was lying by her side she’s the little girl. that played upon my knee. I Chorus Don't tell her that you love her Don't says what you well do. Don't promise that you'll wed her Just because she's fond of you Don't tell her of the future years. and all that you will do go through For her sake do not tell her this mankind is seldom true. (1) Don't tell her, that you love her A youth was on his way to see his sweetheart fond and true. While passing through the old homegate he heard a gentle voice. He turned to greet his best friend mother dear. You're going to see your sweetheart how be careful what you say Don't break her heart because she's fond of you Don't tell her that you love her if you don't remember. Tom that one man out of ten is seldom true. (2) Don't tell her that she is all to you on earth unless its true. don't tell her how you both will happy be. Don't wisper {whisper} tales of endless bless Because her heart is your's Remember I was once a girl like she Don't break her heart because she loves you. If you do twill all come back to you in future years. Prosperity is one thing lad in life you'll seldom find it's moving hand in hand with sighs and tears. {Poem written sideways on the page} The Telephone Girl. The telephone girl sits still in her chair And listens to voices from everywhere. �She hears all the gossip, she learns all the news. She knows who is happy and who has the blues; She knows all our sorrows, she know all our joys, She knows every girl who is chasing the boys She knows of our troubles, she knows of our strife, She knows every name who talks mean to his wife; She knows every time we are out with “the boys" She hears the excuses each fellow employs; She knows every woman who has a dark past. She knows every man who's inclined to be "fast"; In fact there's a secret beneath each saucy curl, Of that quiet, demure looking telephone girl. If the telephone girl told us all that she knows, It would turn half our friends into bitterest foes; She could sow a small wind that would be a gale, Engulf us in trouble and land us in jail, She could let go a story which, gaining in force Would cause half our wives to sue for divorce; She could get all our churches mixed up in a fight And turn all our days into sorrowing night; In fact she could keep the whole town in a stew If she'd tell a tenth part of the things that she knew. �Oh, brother, now doesn't it make your head whirl When you think what you owe to the telephone girl.
