I also carted a wheel of hair to No. 108. Mr. English made me pay for a wheel of hair that he had short-shipped at half price thankfully. Day was fair and roads are drying some but are still bad. Wednesday, March 15, 1922 I delivered mail to the Bay and round the shoreline with John, and then delivered two to the Club. Worked at the wharf building. Mrs. W. P. Scott & G. Graham came in this p.m. and talked to me about hay, grain, etc. Oats are drying fast. Night temp was fairly cold, 12/96 freezing. Both horses are working good and roads are drying fast. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/3c2674c804f42547f188224f1f6c370e.pdf a8a136b8d7a82105f17b22ec6cf37c29 PDF Text Text 120 A et--2-0Z---11.6)41-Ada BeLe_ -reth tingA I:we-a/44% aad fitini-tidomottA0 � Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

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.

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 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.

As it is easily assimilated, it can be given to quite young chil- dren without causing secondary gastro-intestinal de- rangement. Weather Temp Blustry 20 Eugene event to Aylmer this morning + Boyde.

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.

Have the patient stand erect with the head up and place the finger on the nostril that does not bleed so as to keep it closed. Patient then slowly inhales through the bleeding nostril and exhales through the mouth. This, continued for a few minutes, will check the bleeding. Avoid blowing the nose or using the handkerchief lest the clots be loosened. _________ == Best He Could Think Of. == In one of the Philadelphia colleges a professor of chemistry asked a student: "Suppose you were called to a patient who had swal-lowed a heavy dose of oxalic acid, what would you ad-minister?

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. Dose:-Adults, a tablespoonful 3 times a day; children in proportion.

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.

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.

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.

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.

If the abscess be of sufficient size to alter the intracranial tension, a choked disk may be manifested; or if not quite sufficient to cause this phenomenon, a prechoked disk may be in evidence.<i>N.W.

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. I don't know where he is, but he's helping somewhere.-Naational Recorder.

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.

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.

The presence of a more or less large tumor with an uneven surface, belonging to the stomach and associated with dyspeptic symptoms. 3. The presence of a tumor associated with frequent hematemesis. 4. Constant pains, frequent vomiting, ischochymia, emaciation-all these symptoms being quite permanent and not extending over too long a period of time (six months a year). 5. Tumor and ischochymia. 6.

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.

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. Prescribed Pepto- Mangan in teaspoonful doses after meals gave general directions as to diet, etc. Began to menstruate thirty-two days after beginning treatement; the flow continuing one week. Twenty-nine days later she menstruated again. At the present writing she is still under treatment, and is due to menstruate in seventeen days. Her whole condition is very much improved. - Vermont Medical Monthly. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/951b2dd907cb30ecf06d11d03084a75a.pdf b1bff1fa4d1202426ddabf5512d5f398 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/3511126039550b0327a7592bbeba9f11.pdf ac9ff5e87fceff978e48bb1ca140f05f https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/02d4a0b222171659d237b9ea828e9138.pdf ee3ac8a5a626ca05089ac870a6036c89 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/c01c69e3cc7c3f9eb579db6cb501aa67.pdf 31a06e94de39762068af3febb889692b https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/5d01a8c50f7c91bd34bad5eb4a378eb0.pdf 2d7fd538354f695c9fe99397f67fe1e3 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/88f8b7c169290dfb17d0e628c6d32642.pdf 57d1f729b0e715af20fd55bd388353a2 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

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.

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.

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.

Med. Woch.; Am. Journ. Med. Sci.) makes the following deductions: 1. 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. This preparation is palatable, readily tolerable, promptly absorbable, non-irritant and still distinctly potent as a blood builder and general tonic and reconstructive https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/5c0ee7441fd958145aff0fc1ba9b28b3.pdf e7a796285ec70b75a57d30518f7eb59a Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

Endo- and peri- carditis are particularly liable to follow an attack of rheumatism, scarlet fever, diphtheria, etc., and are difficult of diagnosis on account of the lack of definiteness of the heart sounds in children. The treatment is different as the iodides are not well borne. Patient should be kept in bed for weeks at a time on a properly regulated diet. 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.

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. As they are usually associated with urethritis, this must be cured by appropriate treatment, as otherwise the growths will return. Not infrequently Skene's glands are infected and to remove the infection it is usually necessary to incise the small ducts (two in num-ber) leading to them.-Amer. Journ. of Surg.

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.

Surgical Suggestions. To account for a chill and pyrexia in a post-operative or post-partum case exclude pneumonia and pyogenic infection before considering malaria. 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.

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.

During the administration of Pepto-Mangan("Gude") the microscope evidences a progressive increase in the number, and a constant improvement in the structural character of the corpuscular elements.

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.

It is most certain and convenient to the operator, and least offensive to the patient. Solutions of ten per cent. and higher may be used without harmful effects, but the solution is equally effective when weakened to two per cent.

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.

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.

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. A City Hall employee sends the story of an officeholder who was one of a party that attended the funeral of a Chinaman on a recent Sunday. He took a great deal of interest in the queer services at the grave, and noticed that, among other things, a roasted duck was left there by the departing mourners. 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.

"Oh, no," replied the doctor, mildly; "you only owe me for fifteen visits I made you during your illness." === He Understood. === The German papers are telling a story about a Berlin lady who was sent by her physician to one of the well known "cures" in Germany. He gave her a letter which purported to be a prescription for her treatment there, and which she presented to the doctor at the "cure." It read as follows: "Rup, fens, iediega, N.

Ziehen Sie ihr aber die Federn einzeln aus sehr langsam, damit so ihr Gatte zwei Monate Ruhe hat and er vielleicht gesundet. Verstanden?" In English these words mean: Pluck the old goose throughly well. There is nothing the matter with her. But pull out the feathers one by one very slowly, so that her husband may have perhaps be restored to health. Do you understand?"

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. In the anaemia accompanying uterine trouble, or following loss of blood from repeated abortions or childbirths, the action of the Pepto - Mangan was uniformly good. In the anaemia developing in the course of chronic malaria Pepto - Mangan rendered him signal service. In pulmonary tuberculosis the effect was of course only relative, yet frequently the author was able to improve the appetite and effect a slight gain in weight. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/a3642c9a43dc2cfdba0d3701bdf44c19.pdf 72e42f3b5fe970af56317130b981ad5e https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/dfe1f320193ad36a8631b5803b2aff9c.pdf 1cb6b5a8d685c96ccef6134ba8006d40 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/2ee92ecfca27751d0318e1645dc08860.pdf c491d7696359ec46ad266f26387446a8 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/1c1f20502f8df3c9d4d1cd6ec90daec0.pdf 4e7d90ebd32b7a2ece462cd8d6adf9b0 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/18662fc189cbea7f7f083c3980eb5291.pdf e1a35a0b9a4b87de1d8a5c7a3160f0ad https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/78a7f9d31ab43857ae0673eb54685e25.pdf 115e716fd4a306fd5800e620b26efc05 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

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.

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. Mercurials affect the gums very much less in young than in advanced age.-Jacobi. The Druggists's Trials.

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." Whereupon a grizzled, veteran practitioner, raising his hand, exlaimed: "Doctor, you're forgetting the naval hospitals!" https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/e7fa0960717a04431b258194479d2d91.pdf 2044a5bf0fb497f13a142b12fe090793 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/3899e2fe21a4811449732a39dabda74e.pdf 9577a8ee0a6e5a4134b313786aea66c7 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/2260f1646ca5f79ed510afc393fd2362.pdf d133f59904791c1bd47f6d78c98280d3 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/dca023852dd6debfba98832e76a750df.pdf 77ff7471de28234445c95c9584f49f95 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/6d4fe8251fb86304f9e2769c1a25581f.pdf 95214f2bd7462fe08ee1dfbe6621a529 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/a1cbb455f1e817820452b9e8e1069a98.pdf 9d0f9652fd6ae393eac8b511b0178cd8 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/f010ca778fdd439d77bc2ec138cf40dc.pdf a56dcb27909bdf3f798e7c9875227f29 https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/45ba93b7a53b408b70ffdff3b8dcf858.pdf 94b75b62310699fffa2b0d2a4eadd474 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

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.

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. Chipper. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/9b03fd696320c91e94ca48a05fd6d76e.pdf debd89a3c20dc1c58520497493ea8275 Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.</p> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <p>Blood Poverty</p> <p>means a diminution of the number of the fundamental red corpuscles; a reduced percentage of oxygen-carrying hemoglobin, and a diminished resisting power against more serious disease.</p> <p>Pepto-Mangan("Gude")</p> <p>supplies these deficiencies. it furnishes organic iron and manganese to the blood elements, increases the hemoglobin, and restores to the blood its normal germicidal potency.

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.</p> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <p>The Life of the Flesh IS the Blood</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Pepto-Mangan("Gude")</p> <p>is a true "blood builder."

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.

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.

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. 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.

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."</p> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <p>Post-Typhoidal Anemia</p> <p>is due to two causes: I.

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.

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.

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.</p> </div> <div class="mw-parser-output"> <p>A Hematinic "Hint</p> <p>"In these days of assimilable preparations of iron, it seems well nigh criminal to subject any man, woman or child to such an abomination as the old muriate tincture, especially when taken in water through a tube."

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.

His career was a long and eminently useful one, in the general surgical field, most of his public work being performed at the Roosevelt Hospital, where he developed many improvements of lasting value and importance in both diagnosis and technic. Dr. McBurney was graduated from Harvard University in 1866, and from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York in 1869. In 1889 he was appointed Professor of Surgery in the latter institu-tion, retiring in 1907, because of ill health. As a teacher and lecturer he was unusually interesting, clear and practical. As a surgeon he was perhaps best known, both to profession and laity, for his description of "McBurney's Point," in the diagonsis of acute appendicitis, and his skill in the operative treatment of that disease. As stated by one of his colleagues and biographers, "the most important part of his work in relation to appendicitis is perhaps not so well appreciated, namely, what he did to con-vince the medical profession that acute appendicitis was purely a surgical affection, requiring immediate surgical care, and this he did by constant effort in his clinics, 'precept upon precept, line upon line.'" To his patients, this markedly brilliant surgeon be-came the man of tender sympathy and human kindliness. In his relations with his colleagues, his house staff, and with men in general, he was the polished, polite, considerate and courtly gentleman, who will always be remembered most favorably by all with whom he ever came in contact. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/1fd0578cec52fcc222bf5f42df96256a.pdf 2475708ed8858814b4e1f470c9b89a8d Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document.

Monday, January 11 11 DAYS PAST 354 TO COME The Intelligently Treated secondary Anemia, from whatever cause, is usually susceptible of distinct improvement. In addition to nutritive reinforcement, direct hematinic treatment is usually advisable and helpful. Pepto-Mangan (Gude), in such cases, is the ideal ferruginous tonic, as it is efficient in action and yet free from irritant, corrosive or constipating effect. Weather Fine with a little snow in the afternoon. Girls came to school. John & Joe took the cow over to [Ceny ones ?]. https://ruraldiaries.lib.uoguelph.ca/transcribe/files/original/a6b60ab255813b1d6ff46c82e1c30861.pdf 29eeab58554b8513a1104bc89d8ffacb Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Tuesday, January 12 12 DAYS PAST 353 TO COME Points on Anesthesia—No. 3. The use of morphin and other alkaloids should not be a routine practice, as all people do not bear them well. They have their advantages and disadvantages. If there is no contraindication, morphin should be given in all cases where a light anesthetic is to be used, as nitrous-oxide-oxygen; also where the vapor method is employed in very nervous subjects and in those that fear the anesthetic. Morphin should not be administered where chloroform is to be given for any length of time.—Hunt; Int. Journ. of Surg. Weather Warm Temp.

Thursday, January 14 14 DAYS PAST 351 TO COME Points on Anesthesia—No. 4. The condition of the heart should be well looked into before the time of the operation, as conditions are not then at their best. A thorough examination of both radial arteries should be made by the anesthetist, so that he will be better able to judge his patient’s condition during and after the operation. It is always advisable to have your subject take a few deep breaths, with mouth closed, to see if there is unobstructed breathing. Where there is obstruction in the nasal passages a mouth prop should be used.—Hunt; Int. Journ. of Surg. Weather Warm Temp.

Miller, Lecturer on Nervous and Mental Diseases and Professor of Theory and Practice of Pharmacy, University College of Medicine, Richmond, Va., states that he is strongly of the opinion that anemia as an etiologic factor in chorea is worthy of investigation, and in cases where chorea is accompanied by anemia, Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is distinctly indicated and will improve both conditions. Three cases are given in illustration.—Va. Med. Semi-Monthly.

Monday, March 15 74 DAYS PAST  291 TO COME Indications for Gastric Lavage. The addition of antiseptics to the wash water is rarely worth while. Laxatives are most frequently useful, but even these can usually be given just as well without the use of the tube. In gastric fermentation or intestinal putrefaction, Boas likes to give magnesium salicylate in doses up to one teaspoonful three times daily. It acts at once as a laxative and as an intestinal antiseptic.—Boas; Deutsch. Med. Woch.

Sunday, October 10 283 DAYS PAST 82 TO COME Devitalized Red Cells, from whatever cause, need reparation and reconstruction. The administration of Pepto-Mangan (Gude), regularly and continuously, constitutes a “feeding” rather than a “drugging” process, as it supplies the erythrocytes with the essential vitalizing hematics, iron and manganese, in palatable, tolerable, non-irritant, non-constipating and promptly available form.

In six additional cases of invagination the trouble was in the small intestine and the children were older; this group includes also three adults. Attempts at manual reduction and reduction by high injections have little prospect of success.

His career was a long and eminently useful one, in the general surgical field, most of his public work being performed at the Roosevelt Hospital, where he developed many improvements of lasting value and importance in both diagnosis and technic. Dr. McBurney was graduated from Harvard University in 1866, and from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York in 1869. In 1889 he was appointed Professor of Surgery in the latter institu-tion, retiring in 1907, because of ill health. As a teacher and lecturer he was unusually interesting, clear and practical. As a surgeon he was perhaps best known, both to profession and laity, for his description of "McBurney's Point," in the diagonsis of acute appendicitis, and his skill in the operative treatment of that disease. As stated by one of his colleagues and biographers, "the most important part of his work in relation to appendicitis is perhaps not so well appreciated, namely, what he did to con-vince the medical profession that acute appendicitis was purely a surgical affection, requiring immediate surgical care, and this he did by constant effort in his clinics, 'precept upon precept, line upon line.'" To his patients, this markedly brilliant surgeon be-came the man of tender sympathy and human kindliness. In his relations with his colleagues, his house staff, and with men in general, he was the polished, polite, considerate and courtly gentleman, who will always be remembered most favorably by all with whom he ever came in contact. </p></div> <div class="mw-parser-output"><p>Physician's Year Book BEING A DAILY MEMORANDUM TOGETHER WITH A MISCELLANEOUS JUMBLE OF FACTS AND SUGGESTIONS OF INTEREST AND ASSISTANCE TO THE PHYSICIAN "AS THE DAYS FLY BY" 1915 COMPLIMENTS OF M.J.

In many patients with tonsils and adenoids, the tempera-ture, if carefully taken at frequent intervals, will show an increase over the normal. Here the explanation is probably to be found in a focus or foci of infective material.-Med.

Lotsch reports the recovery of two infants out of twelve operated on for ileocecal invagination. In only five cases was the interval less than twelve hours before the operation and the two children who recovered were in this group. In six additional cases of invagination the trouble was in the small intestine and the children were older; this group includes also three adults. Attempts at manual reduction and reduction by high injections have little prospect of success. No time should be wasted on them, he insists, as the only chance for recovery is an early operation.—Berlin klin.

Efforts directed toward the restoration and regeneration of a more or less depleted vital fluid are always in order during convalescence from an acute or exhausting disease. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) is an efficient aid toward such restoration, as it assists materially in compensating the blood deficiency which so often delays or postpones convalescence. </p><p>Weather Temp.

The dangers of thyroid surgery relating to anesthesia, infection, hemorrhage and shock have been reduced to a parity with those connected with any other major surgical operation. Discussions concerning anesthesia reveal the fact that in the great goiter clinics of this country and Europe the mortality rate is about the same whether the anesthesia be local or general. These are dangers incident to any major surgical procedure and not peculiar to thyroid surgery.—Batchelor; N. Orl. Med. and Surg.
