This little volume has been prej»*red for the busy physician, pharmacist and medi- cal student, as a pocket companion on their daily rounds. A brief examination of its contents will convey a clearer idea of its nature and scope than any state- ment could do, yet a few words may be permitted. In the preparation of this book the author lays no claim to originality whatever; hie object has been to make a compilation of recorded points of interest, relative to medicine and pharmacy. He has not hesitated to copy liberally and literally from published journals and books. The various tables and other subjects of im- portance have been culled from the moat authentic and approved sources, and, as great pains have been taken in their re- vlsal, the author feels an unusual degree of confidence in their correctness. The chapters devoted to emergencies and gen- eral diseases w'Jl be found extremely ser- viceable and convenient for the busy prac- titioner, as they will prove a great saving of time when referred to. The author is greatly indebted to Dr. Frank S. Parsons, Editor of the "Times and Register," Phila- delphia, Pa., for exceedingly valuable chap- ters relating to the diseases of infancy and childhood, and based upon a very extensive practice. The contents of this work are of so varied a nature that it was not deemed necessary to make any strenuous efforts to arrange them systematically. Being solely intended as a book of reference, the relative order of the subjects is immaterial, and the copious table of contents and index affords all the assistance that can be desired by those who wish to consult its pages. SEBASTIAN J. WIMMER. New York City, July 23, 1894. s EXPLANATION OF ABBREVIATIONS USED IN THIS WORK. The composition on the pages of this book has been done by the Linotype pro- cess, which makes certain explanations necessary on account of the machine work. In chapter XIV the French and German accent marks are purposely omitted. Physicians who do not know French or German will not understand their accent those who do know these languages will not need the table of questions. oz. takes the place of the usual sign of ounce. dr. takes the place of the usual sign of drachm. scr. stands for scruple. eq. stands for equals. gr. stands for grains. The gramme sign, or cubic centimeter, of the metric system is implied in the decimal system of figures. Roman numerals are used in the Eng- lish system of weights, but fractions in this system are indicated by a dash sepa- rating the numerator from the denomina- tor; thus, 1-6 means one-sixth; 1-150, means one one-hundred and fiftieth, etc. ins. stands for insoluble. v. s. stands for very soluble. s. stands for soluble. Other abbreviations will appear in the pages of the book. 9 CHAPTER I. A TABLE OF ABBREVIATIONS. Abbreviations, Latin Word and English Word. AA.—Ana (Gr. word)—Of each.

Gr. 72 LANDMARKS, MEDICAL AND SURGICAL. THE ABDOMEN. BOUNDARIES.—In Front and at Sides— By lower ribs, transversalis muscle, venter ilii; behind—by vertebral column, psoas and quadratus lumborura muscles; above- by brim of pelvis. REGIONS AND CONTENTS.—Right Hy- pochondriac Region—Right lobe of liver, gall-bladder, duodenum, pancreas, hepatic flexure of colon, upper part of right kidney, right suprarenal capsule. Epigastric Re- gion—Middle and pyloric end of stomach, left lobe of liver, lobulus Spigelii, pancreas. Left Hypochondriac Region—Splenic end of stomach, extremity of pancreas, spleen, splenic flexure of colon, upper half of left kidney, left suprarenal capsule. Right Lumbar Region—Ascending colon, part of right kidney, some convolutions of small intestine. Umbilical Region—Transverse colon, part of great omentum, part of mes- entary, duodenum (transverse part), some convolutions of small intestine. Right In- guinal Region—Caecum, appendix caeci, ureter. Hypogastric Region—Convolutions of small intestines, bladder if distended, bladder in children, uterus in pregnancy. Left Inguinal Region—Sigmoid flexure of colon, ureter. LINEA ALBA.—Extends up middle line of body, from apex of ensiform cartilage to symphysis pubis. POUPART'S LIGAMENT.—Is indicated by a well-marked depression from the symphysis pubis outward to ant. sup. spine of ilium. LINEAE TRANSVERSAE.—Some three are above umbilicus, none below. First line is about level of umbilicus; second, about 4 inches higher (level of lowest part of tenth rib). Upper part of rectus mus- cle is divided by these lines into two por- tions (upper and lower). 73 CREST OF ILIUM.—Can be felt at lower part of abdomen. It ends in front in the ant. sup. spine of the ilium. "When body of patient is erect the spines are just be- low level of promontory of sacrum. The highest part of the crest is on a level with bifurcation of aorta. The direction of the common iliac and ext. iliac arteries may be discerned by drawing a line from high- est point of crest of ilium to the groin. SPINE OF ILIUM.—Length of lower ex- tremity is measured from here, and is valu- able as a landmark in determining nature of injuries to hip and pelvis. Examine position of spine with regard to trochan- ters. SPINE OF PUB ES.—This guide to the ext. abdominal ring may be found by push- ing up skin of scrotum, or by abducting thigh, using the tense tendon of the ad- ductor longus as a guide. It is situated external to the symphysis, about % inch, and lies on outer side of the neck of an inguinal hernia, and on inner side of the neck of a femoral hernia, ABDOMINAL RINGS.—Just above spine of pubis we find the ext. abdominal ring. Internal ring is midway between spine of ilium and symphysis of pubis; it lies about 2-3 inch above Poupart's ligament. SPERMATIC CORD.—As it passes through ext. ring it can be felt and its course made out. The vas deferens can be felt at back of cord. EPIGASTRIC ARTERY.—A line drawn from inner margin of int. ring up to mid- dle of rectus muscle toward chest would Indicate the direction of deep epigastric. Other Surface Markings that should be known are: Tip of sternum, edges of ribs, irest of pubes, position of navel. THE PERINEUM. Make out surface markings of the sym- physis pubis, rami of pubes and ischium, tuberosity of ischium, position of triangu- lar ligament, great sacro-ischiatio liga- ments, apex of coccyx. ANUS.—A white line at junction of skin and mucous membrane is important, and Is readily perceived. The fissure of anus is situated at the bottom of the cutaneous folds of ext. sphincter. 74 RAPHE OF PERINEUM.—Extends from anus up perineum to scrotum aud penis; it is called the "line of safety" in making incisions, etc. CENTRAL POINT OF PERINEUM.— Bulb of urethra is above it, artery of bulb likewise; perineal muscles meet here. TRIANGULAR LIGAMENT- Is attached to back edge of rami of pubes and ischium; the lower border can be felt in this re- gion. One inch below lower part of sym- physis pubis, and about % inch higher then the central tendon, the urethra passes. RECTUM.—Track of membranous part of urethra can be felt through front wall of bowel. Prostate gland is about l%-2 inches from anus, and can be felt, also its lateral lobes. Finger can appreciate by touch also the following: Apex of trigone of bladder, one of ridges or folds of mu- cous membrane at lower part of rectum, isohio-rectal fossae. THE THIGH. TROCHANTER MAJOR.—Pop of trochan- ter is almost on level with spine of pubes; it is about % inch lower than top of head of femur.The trochanter lies in a natural depression over hip, and can be readily felt. ( SARTORIUS.—If patient raises his leg, the direction and margins of this muscle can be easily made out. COURSE OF FEMORAL ARTERY.—A line from midway between the ant. sup. spine of ilium and the symphsis pubis, to tubercle for adductor magnus on inner side of knee, would indicate its course. SAPHENOUS OPENING.—Located im- mediately below inner third of Poupart's ligament, about an inch and a half ex- ternal to the spine of pubes. The Femoral Ring is about % inch higher than the above opening, just under Poupart's liga- ment. LYMPHATIC GLANDS IN GROIN.—In- guinal glands lie along line of Poupart's ligament; the femoral, along outer side of saphena vein, and over saphenous open- ing. These clusters can be felt in thin persons. 75 NELATON'S LINE.—A piece of string stretched from the ant. sup. spine of ilium in front to the ischial tuberosity behind will pass over the great trochanter and is termed Nelanton's line. THE BUTTOCKS. SURFACE MARKINGS.—Crest of ilium, post. sup. spine of ilium, spines of sacral vertebrae, coccyx, ischial tuberosity, great trochanter, fold of buttock.

BRACHIAL ARTERY.—The course of this artery can be shown by drawing a line from the deepest part of the axilla (the arm being extended and supinated), at its middle, down the inner side of the biceps to the middle of the bend of the elbow. The median nerve is in relation with the artery, also the musculo-spiral nerve. BEND OF ELBOW.—Tendon of biceps can be felt here; pulsation of the brachial , artery close to its inner side can also be noted. OLECRANON PROCESS.—Near inner condyle. The ulnar nerve lies in a depres- sion between the olecranon and int. con- dyle. An important landmark of the el- bcw is the little "pit" on outer side of this process, immediately below the ext. condyle; the head of radius can be felt in pronation of supination of forearm. 79 "TUBERCLE OF RADIUS.—In extreme pronation, it can be felt on back of fore- arm INTEROSSEOUS ARTERIES.—The com- mon interosseous is given off by the ulnar, about 1 inch below head of radius; it di- vides into ant. and post, interosseous Ya inch lower still.

COURSE OF ULNAR ARTERY—From middle of bend of elbow to outer side of pisiform bone. THE HAND. DIGITAL AND PALMAR FURROWS.— The first furrow of fingers does not cor- respond with metacarpal joints; the sec- ond and third do correspond with their respective joints. The middle of the ant. annular ligament corresponds with the lit- tle depression between the ball of thumb and that of little finger. Of furrows in palm of hand, the only one of surgioal in- terest is that which extends transversely across the lower third, from ulnar border to interval between fore and middle fin- gers. It almost corresponds with the meta- carpal joints of fingers; with upper limit of the synovial sbeaths of the flexor ten- dons of fingers, except the little finger; with the divisions of the palmar fascia (into four slir/s), and the transverse meta- carpal ligament, which lies in same plane. The digital arteries "divide or bifurcate a trifle below this furrow. PALMAR ARTERIAL ARCHES.—The thumb, widely separated from the fingers, will indicate a line which corresponds with the line of the superficial arch of these arteries; thence their course is straight between the shafts of the metacarpal bones.

CRICOID CARTILAGE.—The projection of this cartilage can be felt; it corresponds to spaces between the fifth and sixth cervical vertebrae. The point where the omo-hyoid muscle crosses the common caro- tid artery can be shown by drawing a line transversely from the cricoid cartilage across the neck. STERNO-MASTOID MUSCLE.—The com- mon carotid is overlapped by its inner border. 84 STERNOCLAVICULAR JOINT.—Parts behind this joint: Commencement of vena innominata; behind this, the common car- otid (left side); on the right side we have the division of the arteria innominata; deeper, the apex of the lung. The arteria innominata in children very frequently lies in front of the trachea, dividing a little higher than joint. SUBCLAVIAN ARTERY.—The outer bor- der of sterno-mastoid corresponds with the outer edge of the scalenus anticus, this being a guide to this artery. THE CHEST. PARTS BEHIND FIRST BONE OF STERNUM.—Left vena Innominata (crosses sternum just below upper border); primary branches of aorta; trachea divides into two bronchi opposite junction of first and second bones of sternum; oesaphagus. The highest part of aorta, which rests upon the bifurcation of the trachea, is about 1 inch from upper border of the sternum. ARTERIA INNOMINATA.-A line drawn from the middle of the junction of the first and second bone of the sternum to right sterno-clavicular joint would show its course.

Its largest perforating branch passes through the second intercostal space. INTERVAL BELOW CLAVICLE.—It is triangular, and situated between the pec- toralis major and deltoid muscles, being a guide to the coracoid process and axillary artery. This space corresponds with the axillary artery. APEX OF THE HEART—Pulsates be- tween fifth and sixth ribs, about 2 inches below the nipple, and 1 inch to its sternal side. HEART.—Its upper border is on a level with the third costal cartilage; lower bor- der extends from half an inch below lower 85 end of sternum to fifth left space The left boundary, at apex, is located to left of junction of fifth rib with its costal carti- lage, and behind, or to left, of a line traced from left nipple downward. The right boundary extends about an inch to right of right edge of sternum. From behind, the base of heart is at level of the suines of sixth and seventh dorsal vertebrae; the apex is at level of ninth rib. VALVES OF HEART.—Pulmonary valve (in most cases) is at level of third carti- lage, or, in part, on left side of sternum, behind second intercostal space; the aortic valve is at level of third cartilage, or thii'd space; it is behind the left two- thirds, or one-half of the sternum; the mitral valve is oblique, and lies behind the third intercostal space, near middle of sternum; the tricuspid valve is also oblique, and lies behind the middle of fhe sternum, the upper end being at the level of the third intercostal space. OUTLINE OF LUNGS.—Apex of lungs rises into neck behind sternal end of clavicle and sterno-mastoid about lMs inches. The lungs converge from the ster- nal ends of the clavicles.

DIVISION OF THE TRACHEA.—The di- vision of trachea, in front, is level with junc- tion of first and second parts of sternum; it is opposite the spine of the third dorsal vertebia; sometimes the fourth. On a level 86 with the third intercostal space, a slight dimple in the skin marks the root of scap- ula; placing the ear on inn^r side of this dimple will cover the bronchus, particu- larly the right one. The lower border of trapezius is a guide to the spine of the twelfth dorsal vertebra. Below the last rib,'on outer edge of erector spinae, is the place where the kidney is most accessible to pressure. The lower border of the trapezius muscle Is a guide to the spine of the twelfth dor- sal vertebra. This muscle, together with the ligamentum nuc'iae, can be felt in the pit of the neck. Below last rib, and on outer side of erector spinae, the kidney is most accessi- ble to pressure. The fourth lumbar spine is about level with the highest part of the ilium.

After all, ventilate thoroughly. FOR MERCHANDISE.—Free aeration. Fumigate with dioxide of sulphur, etc. Rags used for wiping infectious discharges, etc., shculd be destroyed at once. Sputa oups, bed-pans, etc., should always con- tain some disinfecting fluid, or mix with sawdust and burn. EXAMINATION OF THE URINE. OBSERVE: I. Quantity Passed Daily. (About 50 fluid ounces.) Decreased, by warm and dry weather; active cutaneous and pulmonary trans- piration; in diseases with profuse and watery evacuations of bowels; in chol- era; hemorrhage; latter stages' of heart affections; acute inflammation; diseases of the liver, etc. Increased, by cold and damp weather; morbid conditions, associated with dry- ness of the skin; suppression of pulmon- ary and cutaneous transpiration; defi- ciency or excess of uric acid; presence of sugar or chyle. II. Color and Transparency. Pale in color, when quantity is great; when scanty, it is high-colored. May be white, bluish-white and turbid, from chyle, mucus, milk, pus, or from the earthy phosphates in excess; cystic oxide causes it to be yellowish; brown, from bile; deep amber, high-colored, from uric acid in excess; purpurates cause the color to become dark red or purplish; green- grass color, from excess of sulphur; brownish or red-cherry, from red par- ticles of blood; melanio acid causes it to become black, etc. Some substances, such as rhubarb, logwood, beet-root corn-poppy and madder, cause the color to simulate that of blood. III. Reaction. TV Odor. When quantity decreases, the odor in- 89 creases; it is wanting when color is pale and quantity is large. Is altered by various articles of food, as asparagus. In many nervous diseases it is aromatic; ammoniacal in injuries to spinal cord; putrid, from pus, mucus, ichor, lochial and leucorrhoeal discharges, affections of the genito-urinary organs, and putrid fevers. When it contains cystine, it has the odor of violets, or of sweet-brier; it is sweetish in odor and taste in diabetes mellitus. V. Specific Gravity. (About 1.020.) Can be obtained by specific gravity bot- tle, by a urinometer, or Baume's areo- meter. VI. Presence or Absence of Sediment, Its Quantity and Character. VII. Presence or Absence of Albumen. Tests: Pour perfectly clear urine into a test tube one-fourth its depth; add a drop or two of acetic acid, if not dis- tinctly acid in reaction, then boil over a spirit lamp. If an opacity appears, it is due either to albumen or earthy phos- phates. It will disappear, if the latter, on the addition of a few drops of nitrio acid; if albumea, it is permanent. Heller-Morton Test: Take a very small test-tube, 2V2 inches in length, one-third inch in calibre. Fill one-third with nitric acid; fold one or more 3 by 3%- inch-diameter filter papers twice, thus making a funnel, and insert its point into the mouth of the test-tube, support- ing it by the forefinger holding the tube. Then pour into the funnel about a drachm of the suspected liquid; it will run through quite clear and form a sharp- cut white ring at the junction of the two tubes if albumen be present. Test for Bile: Pour on a white sheet of writing paper a little of the urine, forming a very thin layer; then with care allow a drop or two of nitric acid fall upon it. If bile be present, green and pink colors will show themselves. Chloro- form test: Two drachms of the suspected urine are placed in a test-tube, and 12 to 15 drops of chloroform added; then the mixture is shaken, and if the urine contains bile a fine yellowish color ap- pears. After being allowed to settle, the chloroform settles to the bottom of test- tube, carrying with it the yellow biliary substance. 90 Picric Acid and Potash Test: Add a fluid drachm of the urine, add 40 minims of a saturated sol. of picric acid, and half a drachm of liquor potassae. The mixture is then boiled, and if sugar be present, a dark, mahogany-red color will appear. ^flfr 91 CHAPTER V. A GENERAL RULE FOR THE MEMORIZING OF DOSES OF THE VARIOUS OFFICINAL PREPARATIONS. 1.

COWLING'S RULE.—Divide the pa- tient's next birthday by 24; for example, at three years the dose would be 4-24, equivalent to 1-6 of that of the adult. DR. YOUNG'S RULE.—Add 12 to the age, and divide by the age to get the denomi- nator of the fraction, the numerator being 1. For example, the age being 4 years, 4 plus 12 divided by 4 equals 4, or one- fourth of the adult dose. The full dose is given at the age of 21 years. DR. LAUDER'S METRIC RULE.—As follows: Multiply the next birthday by 4 and divide the result by 100; or, multiply the full dose by the child's next birthday, then by 4, and remove the decimal point two places to the left. For example, the adult dose being 1 gm., that for a child of 3 years will be 1 times 4 times 4 divided by 100 equals .160 gm. DOSES FOR CHILDREN, ETC. (Approximately.) Dose for child of one month is 1-20 that of an adult. Dose for child of three months Is 1-15 that of an adult. Dose for child of six months Is 1-10 that of an adult. Dose for child of one year is 1-8 that of an adult. Dose for child of two years Is 1-6 that of an adult. Dose for child of three years is 1-5 that of an adult. Dose for child of five years is 3-10 that of an adult. Dose for child of eight years is 1-2 that of an adult. Dose for child of ten years is 3-5 that of an adult. Dose for child of 12 years Is 2-3 that of an adult. Dose for child of fifteen years is 4-5 that of an adult. Dose for person of twenty to forty-five years is that of an adult. Dose for person of fifty years is 5-6 that of an Dose for person 60 years, 4-5; eighty years,2-3. 94 FEIGNED DISEASES. ABDOMINAL TUMORS.—Mode of Simu- lation: I'.v guiding worn in dress; by pushing abdomen forward while erect; by raising spine when lying down; by rigidity of recti muscles; by permitting constipa- tion for a few days, and thus overloading bowels with faeces, etc. How Detected:— Must make examination of abdomen un- covered; produce relaxation of the muscles; give nauseous and anti-flatulent purgatives. A PORTION.— Mode of Simulation:—By staining body and clothes with blood. How Detected:—Make vaginal examination; note appearance of mammae, etc. AMAUROTIC BLINDNESS.—Mode of Simulation: By making applications of ex- tract of belladonna or datura stramonium to eye.

ABSTINENCE.*—Mode of Simulation:— Most frequently done for purpose of ex- citing pity or wonder. How Detected:—A very difficult task. Watch person atten- tively. AniONIA.—Mode of Simulation:—Not often resorted to. The "true aphonia" re- sults from tumefactions of glottis and fauces; from a relaxed chordae vocales; from tumors which compress trachea- sometimes succeeds apoplexy, etc. How Detected:—By taking person off his or her guard; by the use of anaesthetics; person may be suddenly wakened, etc. APOPLEXY.—Mode of Simulation :-By falling down, and lying as though dead.

Wimmer n""M< 95 stethoscope, which will detect presence or absence of trouble; watch patient without his knowledge. BLINDNESS.—(See Amaurotic Blindness above.). CACHEXIA, EMACIATION AND DE- BILITY.—Mode of Simulation:—By using substances to make face appear livid and pale; indulging freely in spirituous liquors, etc.; by foregoing sleep for a time before an examination. How Detected:—Examine and see if pulse is strong; see whethert there be loss of appetite, of strength, or swelling of the limbs, etc.; feebleness of the vital powers; give emetics, and then examine vomited matter; inspect stools, etc. CALCULI IN BLADDER.-Mode of Sim- ulation: By putting pebbles, sand, etc., into urine; young women sometimes intro- duce pieces of bone, cinders, etc., into the vagina, and even into urethra and bladder to simulate this affection. How Detected: Remove and examine foreign body, by aid of chemistry. CANCER.—Mode of Simulation: Smooth surface of half of the spleen .of an animal has been glued to the skin, leaving on the outside an appearance of an ulcerated sur- face. How Detected: Notice if there are signs of cachexia; make a very careful examination of the part. CATELEPSY.—Mode of Simulation: By appearing suddenly motionless, the joints being flexible, and external objects making no impression. How Detected: Powerful stimulants; let a drop of hot water fall upon back; propose use of actual cautery. CHOREA.—Mode of Simulation: By as- suming the convulsive motions which char- acterize this disease. How Detected: Sud- denly a we ken person and notice whether the peculiar movements take place; watch person unobserved; by anaesthetics, etc. CONVULSIONS.—Mode of Simulation: Nervous convulsive movements of the fac- ial muscles and other parts are often feigned. How Detected: We do not find the stiffness of the muscles, nor the re- sistance and rapidity of action, that belong to the real disease; watch suspected person without his knowledge, etc. 96 CONTRACTION OF JOINTS AND FIN- GERS.—How Detected: By anaesthetics. For the fingers, introduce a cord between the fingers and palm of hand, then apply weights so as to expand fingers; anaesthet- ics, etc. CUTANEOUS ERUPTIONS.—Mode of Simulation: Urticaria or nettle-rash are frequently brought on by articles of diet, such as shell-fish, bitter almonds, etc. Pustular eruptions are the result of oint- ments of tartar emetic, croton oil, etc. How Detected: By careful watching and examination, etc. CORNEA, OPAKE.—Mode of Simulation: Produced by applications of acrid powders, strong acids, quick-lime, etc. How De- tected: Attentive observation will detect existence of any opacity. DEAFNESS AND DEAF-DUMBNESS — Mode of Simulation: Loss of hearing gen- erally takes place gradually, while im- postors become deaf suddenly. It is very hard to imitate the gestures and expres- sion of countenance of the deaf and dumb. How Detected:' Examine ear; deaf per- sons do not- require loud shouting to be heard, but demand slow and distinct speech. Put person under chloroform or ether, when he will probably declare him- self. DEFORMITY. — Mode of Simulation: Those most frequently simulated are con- tractions of fingers, elbow, ankle and knee- joints; shortness or distortion of limbs; in- version of feet; curvature of spine; wry- neck. Females have been known to pro- duce serious swellings, abscesses, etc., by introducing numerous needles into the parts. How Detected: Examine part and its articulation naked, then compare with the opposite; to ma;ie joint easily movable a tourniquet should be placed above the affected part, and tightened; use chloro- form. DELIRIUJM.—Mode of Simulation: By various methods. How Detected: Bodily disease accompanies real delirium. Gen- eral wandering and incoherency are want- ing In the feigned. DELIVERY.—Mode of Simulation: The external parts are bathed with borrowed 97 blood, and often the infant of another substituted. Enlargement is produced ar- tificially, etc. How Detected: Examine per vaginam. The following are the re- sults of real delivery: Vagina relaxed; also, tumid and tender; os uteri ditto; lochial discharge, etc. DIARRHOEA AND DYSENTERY.— Mode of Simulation: Feigned especially by soldiers and sailors in hot climates. Has been caused by a mixture of vinegar and burnt cork; may be caused by any of the purgative roots. Blood mixed with this (borrowed) has constituted the dysentery; sulphate of iron has been used to cause the stools appear black and unhealthy. How Detected: Make, person use a nig"ht-chair, and closely watch proceedings; notice whether he borrows blood, or procures it by picking his gums, etc.; inspect linen, etc. DROPSY.—Mode of Simulation: By wear- ing pads; a ligature around the lower limbs has caused the anasarcous condi- tion; great distention of the scalp simula- ting hydrocephalus in children, has been tried by mendicants, who have daily blown air under the scalp througTi a small open- ing at the vertex. How Detected: Atten- tive examination; when a ligature has been used it can always be recognized by the marks left. DYSPEPSIA.—Mode of Simulation: In the feigned disease, the symptoms are by no means clear; general health is good; some persons can vomit by pressure upon the praecordial region, and they often use this faculty vhen simulating diseases of the stomach. Are privately supplied with food, which they do not vomit. How De- tected: Detection is difficult. Look for some organic disease of the stomach, etc. DYSPNOEA.—Mode of Simulation: Not often simulated. How Detected: Careful watching, especially when person is asleep. EAR DISEASES.—Mode of Simulation: Diseases of the ear producing a discharge have been imitated by putting pus, honey, rancid tallow, etc., in ear; have been ex- cited by putting powdered cantharides or other acrid substances into the ext. meatus (otorrhoea). How Detected: By careful examination and watching alone. 98 EPILEPSY.—Mode of Simulation: Per- son utters a peculiar cry, struggles, fall- ing down (never hurts himself, though); causes lividity by holding breath; froth- ing at mouth by use of soap or some saponaceous root in the mouth, etc. How Detected: In the true cases, the person is deadly pale, the muscular rigidity cannot be overcome except with great effort; pupils are dilated, etc. Use same means as are used in feigning apoplexy. FEVER.—Mode of Simulation: May be feigned or artificially produced. The un- healthy appearance given to the tongue has been produced by covering it with soap, chalk, flour, dust, pipe clay, brick dustt tobacco, whitening from the walls, etc.; redness of the skin has been caused by friction with a hard brush. How detected: Febrile paroxysm due to intoxication, etc., Is only ephemeral; should tongue be ar- tificially coated, rinsing the mouth with warm water will clean it. General con- dition of system does not correspond with truth of the symptoms. FISTULA IN ANO.—Mode of Simulation: By making an incision near the border of anus, and introducing an acrid tent into It, such as the root of white hellebore. How Detected: Examine parts carefully. FRACTURES.—Mode of Simulation: Com- plains of pain in part; if of the skull, he states, perhaps, that he becomes deranged on tasting liquor, etc. How Detected: By carefully examining part.

HYDROCELE.—Mode of Simulation: (See hernia). How Detected: Easy. HYDROCEPHALUS.—(See Dropsy). HYDROPHOBIA.—A case is related {MM. Percy and Laurent) where a person feigned this affection, and at first misled the examiners, but who "gave in" finally when threatend with suffocation between two beds. How Detected: Case related suggests course to adopt. HYSTERIA.—Mode of Simulation: The genuine cases always appear gradually, etc. How Detected: Does not easily resist the application of strong sternutatories to the nostrils. Examine carefully. INSANITY.—Mode of Simulation: Often feigned by those accused of crime. The part generally is overacted. How Detected: Observe when the insanity was first as- sumed; expression of the countenance can- not easily be imitated; affection cannot be simulated as long as the real affliction. Person cannot do long without sleep, food, etc. JAUNDICE.—Mode of Simulation: By coloring the skin with tincture of rhubarb or with an infusion of turmeric; muriatic acid bas been adopted to make the stools clay-colored; rhubarb heightens the color of the urine; spirits have been taken large- ly to produce heat of skin, disordered tongue, etc. How Detected: The coloring matter can be removed by washing the skin; by cutting off supplies of acids, etc, 100 the stools and other excretions become healthy. The white of the eye cannot be colored by art. LAMENESS—Mode of Simulation: By keeping the limb in a contracted condition and resisting efforts to move it. How De- tected: Two persons should take hold of the patient and move rapidly along with him; when they are tired have assistants, and the impostor will soon become fa- tigued and "give in." MENSTRUATION.—Mode of Simulation: By staining the body and clothes with borrowed blood. How Detected: By cut- ting off supply. MYOPIA.—How Detected: Present to person an open book and apply the leaves close to the nose; if it cannot be properly read when thus placed, or when glasses proper for short-sightedness are used, the ditease is feigned. OPHTHALMIA.—Mode of Simulation: Lime, and acrid and corrosive substances applied to the eye may cause inflammation; rubbing with powdered snuff, corrosive sub- limate, alum, salt, etc., have produced this inflammation. How Detected: Prog- ress of healing is rapid under the condi- tions mentioned; keep patients, secluded, etc. OZAENA.—Mode of Simulation: By put- ting a piece of sponge impregnated with some offensive juices or oils, mixed with rotten cheese, into the nostrils. PAINS.—Mode of Simulation: Mendicants often use this means for begging, etc. How Detected: Often difficult. Non-exist- ence of pain cannot be proved. Listen at- tentively to person's narrative, and exam- ine the part or parts complained of; thej cross-examine, etc. PALPITATION.—Mode of Simulation: Doses of from 10 to 12 grains of white hellebore, and repeated, will occasion gen- eral indisposition, and undue action of the heart. How Detected: Examine patient carefully. Cut off supply of drugs. PALSY, SHAKING.—How Detected: If person be in an ordinary state of vigor it might be suspected. (See chorea.) 101 PARALYSIS.—Mode of Simulation: Very suspicious when the paralysis is confined to a certain limb—the arm, for example, as such a form is rare. How Detected: Use violent remedies, such as electricity; cold affusion; actual cautery, etc. PERITONITIS.—Mode of Simulation: Feigned frequently by hysterical women. Great pain over abdomen is complained of, etc. How Detected: Engage patient in conveisation; excite her attention; and then make pressure upon abdomen; exam- ine pulse, etc. PHTHISIS.—Mode of Simulation: Has been simulated especially after recovery from other diseases, when pain, cough and other symptoms are easily assumed; artificial haemoptysis has been induced. How Detected: Make a physical examina- tion of the chest, etc. PREGNANCY.—Mode of Simulation: Has been feigned to gratify the wishes of the husband or relations or to extort marriage by wearing pads and assuming the long- ing after particular articles of food; oc- casionally a woman will be deceived her- self, believing herself to be enciente, wEen the appearance of pregnancy will be caused by flatus and fat which enlarge the ab- domen, etc. How Detected: Examine per vaginum; also breasts; absence of areola; presence of a pad, etc. POLYPUS NASI.—Mode of Simulation: The testicle of a young cock or the kid- ney of a rabbit has been introduced into the nostril, and retained by means of a sponge fastened to it. How Detected: The means are obvious. PORRIGO (Scalled Head).—Mode of Sim- ulation: Nitric acid is applied to the head, after protecting the face with fatty sub- stances. The chronic state is simulated by using depilatories of various kinds, thus imitating porrigo decalvans. How De- tected: Examine parts carefully. PROLAPSUS ANL—Mode of Simulation: A portion of the intestine of an ox, in which a sponge filled with blood and milk is placed. Prolapsus uteri is imitated by a similar fraud. How Detected: By ex- amining parts. 102 PULSE (WEAKNESS OR DEFECT OF). —Mode of Simulation: By the means of liga- tures applied to the corresponding arm. Veratrum viride may cause a slowness of the pulse. RHEUMATISM, CHRONIC—Mode of Simulation: Gout, sciatica, lumbago are likewise often simulated by members of benefit societies and others wanting to shirk work. Part is generally overacted, the symptoms usually being too acute. How Detected: By careful watching; use anaesthetics; attention to constitutional symptoms, and noting their absence in simulated cases, etc. SCROFULA.—Mode of Simulation: By exciting ulcers below the angle of jaw. How Detected: Examine the general habit; see whether the ulcers are glandular; also, whether the discharge is of a scrofulous character. SCURVY.—Mode of Simulation: The teeth are covered with wax, when acid corrosive substances are applied to the gums. How Detected: Examine the gen- eral habits of patient; see whether any de- bilitation exists, etc. STAMMERING.—Hew Detected: Is gen- erally ascribed to a fit of apoplexy or se- vere fever. Examine into patient's pre- vious history, etc STRABISMUS.—How Detected: Arouse person suddenly from a sleep, and the eyes will be found all right, as they also are during sleep. Anaesthetics. STRICTURE OF THE URETHA.— How Detected: By passing a bougie. SWELLING OF THE LEGS.—Mode of Simulation: By placing ligatures around the thighs. How Detected: By examining the limbs uncovered. SYNCOPE.—Mode of Simulation: Liga- tures are occasionally used to prevent the feeling of the pulse; applying lotions to face to make it pale. How Detected: Use sternutatories; by absence of symptoms of syncope; examine naked arms, and wash face. TYMPANY.—Mode of Simulation: By swallowing air, so as to distend the stomach and simulate tympany. How De- tected: Examine parts. 103 ULCER OF THE EAR.—Mode of Simula- tion : Persons have been known to estab- lish a discharge of puriform matter from the ear, by the introduction of a tent Imbued with blistering plaster; the foetid smell being imitated by droppings of a mixture of empyreumatic oil, asafoetida and old cheese. How Detected: By care- ful examination. ULCERS OF THE LEGS.—Mode of Simu- lation: By corrosives or irritants. Rub- bing sand in wounds about the shin is sometimes resorted to; some have simulated these ulcers by gluing on a piece of spleen or the skin of a frog. How Detected: By careful examination. URINE, BLOODY.—Mode of Simulation: Blood is sometimes borrowed and mixed with urine; cantharides will cause bloody urine, also various drugs. How Detected: By cutting off the supply of the substance which could cause red color; by making patient pass his water before the physi- cian, and examining vessel before and after. URINE, INCONTINENCE.—How Detect- ed: Difficult. Give person a full dose of opium, and then introduce the catheter when he is asleep. If urine be present the Incontinence is imitated. VARICOSE VEINS.—Mode of Simula- tion: By ligatures placed round the limb. How Detected: Examine the limb. 104 METHODS OF ADMINISTERING MEDICINES. THROUGH EXTERNAL INTEGUMENT —ENEPIDERMIC—By this method the medicine is applied directly to the skin without friction. The power of diffusion of any medicine by this mode will depend entirely upon its degree of absorption. The skin may be considered as a colloidal sep- tum, and by placing an acid fluid on one side and an alkaline fluid on the other, we have the conditions most favorable to osmosis. Cutaneous absorption is further obstructed by the sebaceous matter of the skin, and medicinal substances in solution In water are with difficulty absorbed. EPI- DERMIC—Medicines are applied here by friction, thus forcing the substance be- tween the cells of the epidermic layer. Cod- liver oil, fatty substances, mercurial oint- ments, etc., cau be administered in this manner. ENDERMIC—Here medicines are applied directly to the derma, which has been denuded by a blister. The medicinal agent is generally sprinkled over the raw surface. Morphine, atropia, strychnine and quinine are given in this wav. HYPO- DERMATIC—(See Hypodermatic Medica- tion.) THROUGH INTERNAL INTEGUMENT -BRONCHO-P ULMONARY MUCOUS MEMBRANE.—By insufflation, finely-divid- ed medicinal agents are applied 'to the various parts of the respiratory tract. IiOcal applications to the nares, fauces, epiglottis, and the aryt mo-epiglottidean folds, of morphine, nitrate of silver, alum, tti-rin, zinc salts, etc., can be made by this mode. The nnssl passages can be medicated by means of the nasal douche, and the following rules are in place here: 1. The fluid should be tepid. 2. Use bland and unirritating applications for the first medication. 3. Do not use applications wlich are strong enough to excite irrita- tion. Chlorides of sodium, potassium and ammonium, potassium permanganate, car- bolic acid, iodine, etc., can be brought into use by means of the nasal douche. Medi- 105 cines by inhalation are applicable to the treatment of the various diseases of the broncho-pulmonary tr-ict, such as iodine in vapor, iodoform, sal-ammoniac, bromine, etc. Atomizatiou or pulverization are bet- ter methods of treating affections of this region. Observe the following: Never use strong inhalants in the beginning of treat- ment; accustom the mucous membrane be- forehand to warm water, tepid solutions of common salt, solutions of chloride of ammonium, etc. GASTRO-INTESTINAL MUCOUS MEMBRANE: This tract is gen- erally used when a systemic effect is de- sired, the remedy being given either by the mouth or rectum. The following forms of medicines are usually administered by the stomach: Powders, pills, mixtures, extracts, infusions, decoctions, capsules, wafers, loz- enges, etc. Suppositories are given by the vagina and rectum; clysters, enemas by the rectum. GENITO-URINARY MUCOUS MEMBRANE: Morphine can be rapidly dif- fused by using the bladder for securing ab- sorption. Astringent solutions are applied to urethra and vagina by injection; sup- positories are also used here. BY THE SUBCUTANEOUS AREOLAR TISSUE.—(See Hypodermatic Medication.) BY THE VEINS.—Admissible only in emergencies. (Transfusion), etc. 106 TEMPERATURE IN ADULT AND CHILD. TEMPERATURE OF THE BLOOD.—In the adult it is about 9S.4 degrees Fahr., or a few tenths more or less. In the hepatic vein it may be 107 degrees. When the temperature falls below 97 degrees, the patient may be said to be in a state of collapse; when it rises above 'M1/^ degrees there is fever; the fever is moderate up to 102 degrees; when above 102 degrees, it is said to be high; when it reaches 106 degrees, death is imminent. HOW TO TAKE THE TEMPERATURE: (1) Under the tongue (bulb of instrument is held by lips around the stem); (2) In the axilla (bulb is placed In armpit, the arm being pressed close to chest); (3) In the rectum (the place to take temperature in unconscious patients and Infants). Healthy temperature is subject to fluctuation, being highest in the even- ing^ at from 5 to 8 o'clock, the lowest during the night or early morning, from 2 to 6 o'clock. During fever these fluctua- tions are manifest, the patient becoming worse toward evening. cSS",,1^^101*8 0F PULSE AND TEM- i'LKATURE.— A temperature of 98 degrees corresponds with a pulse of 60; 99 degrees, with a pulse of 70; 100 degrees, with a RJ?ls?^f,,80; 101 degrees, with a pulse of 90; 102 degrees, with a pulse of 100; 103 degrees, with a pulse of 110: 104 degrees, with a pulse of 120; 105 degrees, with a pulse of 130; 106 degrees, with a pulse of 140. EVENING EXACERBATIONS.-Are an Increase of the symptoms of a disorder For example: When fever is present we will find the temperature high, cheeks deeply flushed, skin hotter and the cerebral disturbance aggravated, etc. REMISSION.—A temporary diminution of the symptoms of a disease: in the above case, the subsidence of the fever, etc, wculd be spoken of as a remission. When the symptoms are strongly marked or when they take place daily at an unusual hour, the disease is remittent. 107 INTERMITTENT—When fever or dis- ease drops to the normal during a lull, it is called intermittent. TEMPERATURE IN THE CHILD.— Temperature of healthy infant 2-1 hours after birth, 100.4 degrees Fahrenheit. Temperature of healthy infant 48 hours after birth, 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit. After that it fluctuates between 98 and 99.5 degrees Fahrenheit. MEDICAL EXAMINATION OF CHILDREN. POINTS TO BE NOTED WHILE CHILD SLEEPS.—Respirations; counting of pulse; condition of the skin (dry or moist); atti- tude, posture (if natural); general expres- sion (natural or painful); lips (pale or tinted); presence or absence of moaning, dtarting, grinding of teeth, etc.; observe ihe eyes, if closed, partly closed or staringj condition of fontanelle (closed or open); 'f pulsating greatly (distended or retracted); lote size and shape of head, etc. POINTS TO BE NOTED AFTER CHILD IS AROUSED.—Expression of face (fretful or languid, excited or quiet); color and shape of face; eyes (see whether there are dark circles under eyes); presence or ab- sence of snuffling. RESPIRATIONS IN A CHILD.—Aver- ages 35 to the minute from the age of 2 months to 2 years; 40 to 50 per minute under one year; 18 to the minute from the 2d to the 12th year. THE PULSE.—Average pulse in adult is 70 or 75 per minute; is more rapid in chil- dren, and in infa.its it averages 110 or 120 to 140. According to Muller, it is as follows: At birth, 130-140; 1st year, 115- 130; 2d year, 100-115; 3d year, 90-100; 7th year, 85-90; 14th year, 80-85. OTHER EXAMINATIONS—The best time to examine the tongue is while the child is crying; if quiet, press the under lip by the finger, when the tongue will pro- 108 trude. Look at the joints; note whether they are large, small or swollen. The gums can be examined by putting the child's head between the knees, while the body rests in nurse's lap. Look about the anus for eruptions, and the penis for ad- hesions or phimosis, etc. THE THROAT.—Child should be placed In nurse's lap, with the head against the breast. Depress tongue gently with a small spoon or tongue-depressor, or, if necessary, use slight force, when the parts can be thoroughly seen. AUSCULTATION.—Immediate ausculta- tion is to be preferred, as the use of stethoscope usually frightens child. Al- ways ascultate before percussion. Back of ohest best part to examine. PERCUSSION.—Do not strike too smart- ly; the gentle SM-oke being much more satisfactory. ABDOMEN.—Examine by palpitation with the hand warmed. Useful in detect- ing enlargements of the spleen, liver and abdominal tumors. Child should be placed on its back, with knees flexed (releases abdominal muscles). SYMPTOMS OF DISEASE. 2 CARDIAC AND LUNG TROU- £ BLES.—Dt.rk rings under eyes; nos- a trils are sharp or distended; lips m pale or b.uish in color. „-£ ABDOMINAL TROUBLES.- «o Cheeks may be sunken; changed in >h~ color; mouth is drawn; the lips are ^■g pale or livid; legs are drawn up; o a child picks at bedclothes. OTHER POINTS. Upper part of face is affected in diseases of the brain—knitting of brow, contraction of forehead, and rolling of the eyes. NOTE I.—In croup, the cry is brassy and metallic, with crowing inspirations. In cerebral affections, it is shrill, sharp and solitary ("cri hydro-cephalique"). In bron- chitis and capillary do. the cry is labored and seemingly half-suffocated. It Is moaning and wailing in tubercular men- ingitis and marasmus. Incessant crying denotes either hunger or earache. 109 In acute illness, squinting of the eyes may denote a reflex irritation, or paralysis or convulsions. Small pupils are found in active congestion, poisoning by opium, etc. Healthy skin of child should not be flabby; child must always be stripped of its clothing near the fire (avoid draughts). Healthy infant should sleep at least 18 hours out of every 24. Dyspepsia and intestinal irritation are indicated by a ftrred tongue covered with curd. Inflammation of the mouth, stom- ach, etc., would be suggested by a red, hot and dry tongue. Fever is indicated by a heavy, white fur over tongue. A tongue covered by a yellow fur would point to stomach or liver complaint. A low typhoid condition is indicated by. a brown-furred tongue, and the "strawberry tongue" points to scarlet fever. The stools of a healthy infant vary from a light to a greenish-yellow. Odor, sour; acid reaction. Every 24 hours a healthy child should have three passages during the first few weeks of existence. After that, to the second year of age, two pas- sages will be normal. Curds in the stools signify indigestion. [n intestinal catarrh the passages are lumpy, dark in color, mixed with mucus and scanty. Clay-colored stools denote a sluggish liver. Movements mixed with blood, clots and shreds of mucous mem- brane indicate intestinal inflammation, ty- phoid fever, .tubercular disease and dysen- tery. The so-called spinach-stool is com- mon to acute and sub-acute diarrhoea in infants. Oily matter in the passages points to a defective action of liver, pan- creas and intestinal glands. Mucus would indicate acute diarrhoea or mucus disease. The vomiting of nurslings is probably due to the fact that the stomach is less curved than that of the adult. Milk ia the only thing ejected. The vomiting of older children is due to indigestion, but sudden vomiting would indicate acute dis- ease (scarlet fever). Reflex vomiting maj be caused by meningitis, tumor of the brain, diseases of the lungs (chronic), whooping cough, dentition, worms, etc. The average weight of a child at birth should be 7 pounds. (Extremes are 4-11 pounds.) Average length of new-born is about 19 Inches. (Extremes are 16-22 inches.) no CHAPTER VI. CLASSIFICATION AND TREAT- MENT OF THE DISEASES OF THE SKIN. CLASS I.—DISORDERS OF THE GLANDS. 1. OF THE SWEAT GLANDS: HYPERIDROSIS—Increased production of sweat (slight or excessive; local or general). Treatment: (Often rebellious.) Give constitutional remedies, such as er- got, gallic acid, mineral acids, tonics. The external remedies are lotions of sulphate of zinc, tannin and alum, etc., dusting powders.

PROTECTIVES. — Gutta-percha tissue, Lister's protective, waxed paper, oiled silk. Dip a small piece of protective into l-2f> oarbolic sol. before applying to wound. COTTON.—Borated. bichloride, salioy- lated and plain absorbent cotton are used. BANDAGES.—Usually of gauze. Before applying first bandage dip and wring out of 1-3000 sol. (bichloride). PINS.—Employ safety-pins, which are disinfected by a lotion of carbolic acid (1-20); they are preserved in absolute alco- hol. SPONGES.—Remove sand; wash in luke- warm water; steep for 12 hours in solution of chlorinate of soda (1 part to 5 of water); rinse and dry; keep dry in closed jars, or In 1-20 carbolio acid solution. Should never be used more than once. SILK.—Boil one-half hour to sterilize; store in carbolic sol. (1-20) or in absolute alcohol, with enough mercury to make a 1-1000 sol. CATGUT.—Bundles of raw catgut are Immersed in oil of juniper berries for a week; remove and place in absolute alco- hol (indefinitely). Chromic gut is tanned with chromic acid as follows: Prepare a 1-20 carbolic acid sol.; add sufficient chromia s-.cid to make a solution of 1-5000 of the latter drug. Allow catgut to remain in solution 4-6 hours. Dry and pack in air- tight flasks. Soak for half an hour in 1-20 or 1-1000 carbolic and sublimate solutions; respectively before using. 128 DRAINAGE.—By rubber, glass or bone drainage tubes, or by catgut or horsehair. Best drainage is to leave wound open and then pack with iodoform gauze. In deep cavities, where drainage is required, carry tube to part where fluid is most likely to accumulate. Use horsehair or catgut for the smaller wounds, and bone tubes where "dressing" will remain until wound Is healed. Discharge usually ceases in the first 36 hours. ANTISEPTIC OPERATIONS. PREPARATIONS.—Shave and wash with hot soapsuds seat of operation; then wash thoroughly with ether or alcohol; next cleanse with bichloride of mercury sol. (1-500), and cover with a bichloride towel soaked in a solution of 1-1000. OPERATOR AND ASSISTANTS.—Sleeves rolled up; thoroughly scrub hands and arms in soap and water; use nail brush; then use alcohol as a wash for two min- utes; finallv wash hands (3 minutes) in a bichloride sol. (1-1000). OPERATION.—Instruments are supposed to have been soaked in a solution of car- bolic acid (1-20); they are then placed In a tray containing a solution (1-40) of carbolic acid. The instruments for imme- diate use are then placed on a bichloride towel handy for use; sponges are first put in a bichloride sol. (1-2* >00), wrung out and placed in a basin for that purpose. The table, surface of patient's body, the cloth- ing are covered, first, with a rubber cloth (mackintosh), then over this bichloride towels (1-1000), etc. During operation the nurse receives blood-soaked sponges in a basin; they are immediately wrung out again in a 1-2000 bichloride solution. The wound should be as little exposed as possible; bleeding points are secured by artery forceps or haemostats, and ligated with catgut sutures, etc., etc. ANTISEPTIC DRESSING.—Iodoform Is dusted upon outer surface of wound after it has been carefully approximated; then a protective cut for drainage tube Js placed in a solution of carbolic acid (1-20) and put over suture line. Over this comes 6 or 10 layers of gauze previously prepared (sol. bichloride 1-3000), or iodoform gauze may be substituted. Superficial dressing follows (8 or 10 layers of dry bichloride 129 gauze), and finally all of this is covered over and around parts with bichloride or absorbent cotton secured by bandages. DEPLETION AND CUPPING. DEPLETION.—Veins usually selected are median cephalic, median basilic, or the ext. jugular. Operator requires roller bandages, antiseptic dressings^ one or two basins and a lancet. PRECAUTIONS.—Operate with antisep- tic precautions; be careful not to injure any structure but vein; to avoid infiltra- tion, make incision free; the pulse is the guide to quantity of blood to be abstracted. OPERATION.—If the arm is the seat of operation, it must be thoroughly cleaned by antiseptio precautions. Encircle by a few turns of roller bandage the arm to block venous circulation, while the patient grasps firmly a roller bandage or other round ob- ject, the arm being in a dependent posi- tion; the veins soon distend, when the surgeon thrusts the point of his lancet down beneath the vein, cutting outward; when pulse becomes slow and soft remove bandage and wash wound with a bichloride solution; then apply an antiseptic com- press, and envelop limb in a roller bandage from fingers to axilla. The ext. jugular vein is bled in apoplexy or inflammations of the brain. In selecting the median basilic vein remember that the brachial artery is in close proximity, etc. CUPPING (Dry or Wet).—Dry cupping draws blood to the surface. A wet cup abstracts blood from the body. Place two ordinary glasses, mouth downward, upon a clean towel; light a spirit lamp or can- dle. Pour into one glass one or two tea- spoonfuls of alcohol; this is rinsed around and poured into the second glass; any ex- cess of alcohol in the first glass is shaken out, and the glass pressed against the towel for a moment in order to remove any drops adhering to its edges; it is then placed over the spirit lamp or candle, when the thin film remaining is ignited. The glass is then ready for use; by putting it to the surface to be cupped the burning alcohol exhausts the air in the glass, form- ing a vacuum, which destroys the flame. The mouth of the glass must be close to the body or air will enter; eups should re- main on one place for about three minutes 130 only. "Wet cupping is done in the *:une manner, with the exception that punctures or incisions are made in the skin before applying the cup. COUNTER-IRRITANTS. . RUBEFACIENTS—Structural change is not produced by rubefacients, they merely producing a congestion of the skin. (1) Heat: Provide a vessel of water kept at a temperature of 120, and several thick- nesses of flannel cloths (two are suf- ficient). Throw them into hot water; then remove one and place it to the surface of the body, at the same time, protecting it to prevent its becoming cool, by covering with waxed paper, etc. Shortly after the second cloth is wrung out to replace the first one, which is again put in the water; keep this up for several hours. In acute inflammation this frequent changing of cloths is necessary. After the necessity for the use of the fomentations ceases pro- tect the part with cotton or flannel. Where the inflammation involves any part of the extremities, it will be well to apply a pressure bandage after the heat and moist- ure (fomentations). 2. Turpentine Stupes: Turpentine is liberally sprinkled over a thick flannel compress, which previously has been wrung out of hot water. This is then applied to the surface of the body. Do not use "protectives," as the turpen- tine might vesicate. (3) Capsicum: A spice plaster may be made by the incorpo- ration of capsioum with ginger, cinnainpn, honey and cloves. Capsine plasters are obtained in the shops. (4) Ammonia: For a rapid action, place a piece of lint soaked In the stronger water of ammonia upon the surface of the body, and cover with some impervious material, such as waxed paper, etc. Keep this application on only two or three minutes, else a blister will result. Ammonia may be used also as a rubefacient in the form of a liniment. (5) Mustard: (a) M;>y be sprinkled (dry pow- der) over flannel or other fabric and ap- plied directly to the skin, (b) A tablespoon- ful may be added to a gallon of water, to be used as a general or local bath, (o) Can be used in the plaster form, (d) With the ordinary flaxseed poultice mix a few teaspoonfuls of mustard seed flour, when a very mild counter-irritant effect will be obtained. 131 VESICANTS.—(1) Cantharides: When ap- plied in the form of cerate, prepare a piece of adhesive plaster an inch wider in all its dimensions than the size of the blister. A thin layer of the cerate is then spread upon the central portion, the plaster slightly heated and applied to the surface of the body. The skin should be washed before the application. The plaster is al- lowed to remain on the skin for about six hours, when a poultice replaces it; this latter can be put on at the same time as the vesicant, being placed directly over it. When the blister has formed it should be cut with scissors at its most dependant part, drained of its serum and dressed with boric ointment spread on lint. To counter-ir- ritate the part, the skin of blister is stripped off, leaving the raw surface to be treated with irri- tating applications, such as savine oint- ment, etc. Cantiiaridal collodion is em- ployed as follows: Wash surface to be blistered; then paint (for two or three minutes) in spots the size of the blister desired; treat subsequently as when the cerate is used. (2) Chloroform and Am- monia (rarely used): To raise a blister pour a few drops of chloroform into a watch crystal and apply to surface, when the action is almost immediate. Apply the ammonia as described before (rubefacients), allowing it to remain from 10 to 15 min- utes. These blisters are very painful, and difilcult to heal. ISSUES (rarely employed).—The ulcer is commonly formed by caustic-potash. SETON.—Used for same purposes as the issue. It is formed by thrustiug a scalpel directly through a fold of skiu, which has previously been pinched up; through this perforation an eyed probe threaded with a skein of silk is carried, etc. ACTUAL CAUTERY.—Heated irons, glass rods or the Paquelin cautery are employed. A vessel of ice water should be provided before making the application, in which are soaking thick flannel cloths. Heat cautery to a white heat and apply in spots, or draw in streaks along the af- fected area. Follow this immediately with the cloths wrung out in the ice water by placing them upon the burn, etc. 132 LEECHING AND TRANSFUSION. LEECHING.—The Swedish and American varieties are employed. The former draws from three to four drachms and the latter about one drachm. Good leeches must come from pure water, and those which are active are possessed with smooth, glazy skins. The Swedish leech Is considered the best. Before applying leech thoroughly shave and wash parts, and if leech will not bite immediately smear the part with a little blood or milk. They are applied to surface of the body from a glass or wide-mouthed jar. To induce them to loosen their hold after a sufficient amount of blood has been drawn, drop snuff or salt upon them. Dress bite with a pledget of iodoform gauze, together with a pres- sure bandage. Precautions: Never place leech over course of a nerve or artery, nor upon loose cellular tissue (eyelid or scro- tum). TRANFUSION.— Two methods: Immedi- ate or direct. The latter is effected by the Aveling apparatus. (See surgical works.) THE NOTES on Dressings in Surgery; An- tiseptic Operations; Depletion and Cupping; Counter-irritants, etc.; Transfusion are condensed from Martin's Minor Surgery. 133 HYPODERMATIC MEDICATION. * PRECAUTIONS.—(1) Avoid large blood vessels and nerves; (2) inject into the mus- cles when solution is irritating, or apt to cause pain; (3) dress seat of puncture with iodoform collodion, plain collodion or use a bit of adhesive plaster; (4) sterilize syringe. medicament and seat of operation.* The syringe can be kept aseptic by washing it in sol. of carbolic acid or saturated sol. of boric acid; the needle should be boiled and then kept in absolute alcohol, or washed repeatedly by drawing through it hot carbolized water. PARTS SUITABLE FOR INJECTION.— When it is desired to produce a local effect the place of puncture is usually chosen as near as possible to the painful part. For systematic effects the location is unimpor- tant, and if repeated injections are to be made various spots should be selected. The outer surface of the thigh or buttock is a good place to admirister the solution, as less pain will be experienced than in most other regions. If the principles of antiseptic surgery are closely adhered to the most irritating solutions may be in- jected subcutaneou&ly without the danger of the formation of abscesses. Solutions of medicines for hypodermatic use should not be kept, but the drug to be used should be dissolved in boiled water just before its employment. SUBCUTANEOUS INJECTIONS ARE IN- DICATED IN THE FOLLOWING CIR- CUMSTANCES: To produce a prompt ef- fect locally, or upon the physiological centres. In this manner they control neu- ralgia, spastic and other painful derange- ments generally. Are useful in hemor- rhages, intoxications (curare in strychnine poisoning), intermittents, in amblyopia, amaurosis, aneurism, internal hemorrhages, uterine diseases, etc. Injections are also made to bring about local irritation; so- dium chloride, alcohol, tincture of iodine, tincture of cantharides, sulphate of cop- per, ni'rate of silver, etc., being employed. The destruction of new growths may be effected in certain cases by the use of this method. •See Hypodermatic Formulae. 134 CHAPTER VII. EMERGENCIES AND THEIR MAN- AGEMENT. (First Aid). ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. SYLVESTER'S METHOD.—Pull tongue forward, as it tends to close upper part of larynx. Place patient on the back; ele- vate shoulders with coat, etc., to carry chin away from breastbone. Operator kneels at head of the person, and takes an elbow in each hand, making the in- spiratory movement by carrying the arms outward (away from chest), and then up- ward over head of patient. The expira- tory movement is made by returning the arms to their former position by the side of the chest; make pressure upon them whilst in this position, to assist the ribs in the expulsion of air from the lungs. Repeat at the rate of 15 times per minute. MARSHALL HALL'S METHOD.—Pa- tient Is placed on ground or floor face downward, forehead supported on one arm, and a coat, etc., placed to support the chest. Whilst in this position, the weight of body compresses the ribs expelling the air from the chest; this is enhanced by making pressure on the lower ribs. After this, the operator places one hand on the patient's arm near the shoulder, the other being under or in front of the correspond- ing hip bone, when the body is rolled from face downward to its side and a trifle be- yond. This movement is aided by an as- sistant who handles the head and arm r«nfnth 1,t-V«After the body has been thus rolled a little more than half round, the chest becomes relieved from superincum- bent weight, causing air to enter thp chest. After a few moments res? fn this position (inspiration), the patient is re- turned to the prone position, when press- ure is made along the ribs (expiratory act). 135 LABORDE'S METHOD.—This consists of rhythmical tractions of the tongue, which probably stimulates the respiratory cen- tres in the bulb. The tongue should be grasped by a forceps, pulled forward and allowed to relax. This process is contin- ued until some evidence is given of re- turning respiration, or until real death is evident. It may be combined with the other methods of artificial respiration. RULES.—1. Prevent tongue of patient from blocking up the air-passages. It is liable to fall backward and close the upper end of the larynx. Pull it forward, and have it held in that position by a string, elastic band, or a pencil placed across its base and kept in position be- hind the back teeth, etc. 2. The base of tongue may be cleared of the windpipe by pressing the angles of the jaw forward with both thumbs applied in front of the ear-lobes. 3. Warmth to the body is se- cured by means of hot bottles, bricks, plates, sand, or even stones. Rub limbs toward the heart to stimulate the circu- lation. 4. Stimulate the natural respira- tory powers by ammonia to nostrils, slap- ping the chest with cloths wrung out in cold or hot water. 5. Replace patient's wet clothing with such as can be imme- diately procured from bystanders. 6. Give such stimulants as aromatic spirits of am- monia, brandy, whisky, etc. CONDITIONS CALLING FOR ARTIFI- CIAL RESPIRATION. I. ASPHYXIA NEONATORUM (livida and pallida.) 1. Asphyxia Livida.—Symptoms: Surface of child cyanotic; face dusky and swollen; protrusion of eyeballs; con- gested conjunctiva; rigidity of muscles; strong and slow pulsation in cord; reflex movements of skin caused by irritation. Treatment.—Sever cord, allowing blood (dr. ii-iii) to flow; remove mucus from mouth and nostrils; put child in a vessel containing hot water; dash cold water over the epigastrium; then take child out of bath, and apply friction over spine, chest, and soles of feet; as a last effort, artificial respiration. 2. Asphyxia Pal- lida.—Symptoms—Anaemic skin; cold sur- face; relaxed muscular system: extremi- ties and lower jaw relaxed; reflex move- ments do not occur when skin is irri- tated; imperceptible (or scarcely so), pnl- 13G satlons in the cord. etc. Treatment.— The anaemic condition requires blood, therefore press blood in cord toward the umbilicus; then tie and sever cord; re- move mucus, etc., from nir-passages. Subsequent treatment like that for as- phyxia livida. (See Dr. Parsons' Article). II. DROWNING.—Resuscitation should be attempted at once, and on the spot, weatLer peimittlng. Remove clothing; place patient's face downward on the ground; raise body of patient by clasping the hands underneath the abdomen; this permits the escape of any water from the air-tubes. The mouth and nostrils should be cleaned. Apply warmth to body: give stimulants (ammonia, whiskey, brandy, etc.); after resuscitation put pa- tient to bed. III. STRANGULATION.-Anything which compresses the wind-pipe from the out- side (cords, ligatures, etc.), must be re- moved, also any articles of clothing which interfere in any way with the chest movements. Every effort should be made to arterialize the venous blood by stimulating the natural respiratory move- ments. IV. ASPHYXIA FROM NOXIOUS GASES, ETC.—(Charcoal fumes; coal gas; exhala- tions of pits, vats, coal mines, etc.). As soon as person is removed from such atmosphere, allow him plenty of fresh air; sprinkle cold water on face and head; rub strong vinegar about nostrils; give vinegar and water internally etc Inhalations of sulphureted hydrogen may be relieved by breathing a small amount of chloride of lime placed in a basin; stimulants. (Artificial Respiration). V. INSENSIBILITY FROM ETHER, CAR- BONIC OXIDE, ETC.-Respiratory for- getfulness may occur during first stage of administration of ether. Treatment consists in dashing ether over the epi- gastrium and removing mucus from the throat, etc. When there is asphyxia frdm an excess of ether (closure of glot- tic*,?0 the flowing symptoms arc generally presented: an Irregular pulse blue surface, laryngeal stertor, absence of respiratory movements, etc. Treat bv pushing lower jaw forward; drag tongue out of mouth; pour ether over eXa* tnum; during artificial respiration use 137 the battery, by placing one pole to the right phrenic nerve in the neck; place the other to sixth intercostal space; close circuit during the inspiratory move- ment of artificial respiration; tracheot- omy. Always give patient more air when there is lividity of the surface, pallor, tonic spasm, infrequent, feeble pulse. When pupil is fixed in dilatation. the danger is augmented. Syncope in chloroform narcosis is treated by forcibly pulling tongue forward, raising the foot of bed or operating table, dashing cold water over chest and face, etc. VI. CHOKING.—Caused by pressure of something in the throat, gullet, or wind- pipe. Remove foreign body as soon as possible by passing finger over the base of the tongue as far down as can be reached; use forceps if necessary; pro- voke vomiting. Foreign bodies (beads, buttons, coin, etc.) which lodge in the trachea are sometimes removed by suddenly striking the patient sharply upon the back; induce coughing, while patient's head and body are inclined downward. VII. EXPOSURE TO COLD.—Has a be- numbing influence on the sensation which leads from drowsiness to profound stupor. When body is stiff, relax tis- sues by friction with cold water, ete. (Artificial Respiration). See Effects of Cold. CONDITIONS CAUSING INSENSI- BILITY. INJURY TO THE BRAIN. CEREBRAL CONGUSSTON.—Symptoms: Patient may be momentarily confused, weak, tremulous, or the insensibility may be profound, with easy, feeble breathing; pulse almost imperceptible; pale counte- nance; skin cold and clammy, etc. When vomiting occurs in a case of severe con- cussion, it is looked upon as a good sign. Tiratmer.t: When brain is not implicated the cautious administration of stimulants is permissible; put patient to bed; cover warmly; applv warmth to the extremities and armpits; if oatient can swallow, the intense depression may be alleviated by 138 giving small doses of aromatic spirit of iiLinonia (gtt. xx-xxx); administer a purga- tive enema; catheter when bladder is dis- tended during continued insensibility of patient; apply cold cloths or evaporating lotions (during reaction) to the shaven scalp; perfect rest of patient and quiet are required; give an unstiinulating diet; an occasional laxative, etc. CEREBRAL COMPRESSION. —Symp- toms: Insensibility; pulse slow and la- bored; breathing ditto (snoring); pupils in- sensible to light; paralysis of one side of face (V); retention of urine; faeces passed involuntarily. (Symptoms very similar to those of apoplexy.) Treatment: In de- pressed fracture of the skull, trephine; otherwise treat as a case of apoplexy, which see. APOPLETIC CONDITIONS. APOPLEXY—(Active congestion). Symp- toms. Patient uuconscious; face flushed; pupils insensible to light and of different sizes; slew, hard, full pulse; respiration slow and somewhat irregular; heavy snor- ing; features generally drawn to one side (paralysis). Treatment: Loosen all cloth- ing about the neok and chest; apply cold to the head; keep head elevated with pil- lows, etc.; keep shoulders raised; apply hot water with mustard to the feet and legs; place a drop or two of crotou oil on the tongue; give a purgative enema if bowels do not open within an hour; use catheter if necessary. Diffusible stimulants may be cautiously administered, particularly when the pulse is double (aqua ammoniae, m. xii- xv in water); the aromatic spirit of am- monia in a camphor mixture or in water (dr. ss-i); carbonate of ammonium (gr. v).

SUNSTROKE.-Symptoms: Quick pulse compressible, small, and occasionally n- termittent); respirations short, shallow be- h}g interrupted by deep-drawn sighs- lins vivid; patient may clutch violently ^ spas* i<$y modically at chest; convulsions may occur every 2 to 3 minutes (may be very violent. causing patient to stretch out stiff and rigid for a moment or so); twitching may occur, foreboding a recurrence of convul- sions; unconsciousness may last a long time; the skin is dry; the bladder and bowels may evacuate involuntarily; per- spiration wanting, etc. Treatment: Carry person to nearest shade; remove outer clothing; if patient can swallow give plenty of water (not ice water); if insensible ap- ply wet clotts to surface of body; if pa- tient becomes comatose, treat as apop- lexy. (Rub ice over spine.) EPILEPTIC STUPOR—(Loss of con- sciousness and coavulsions). Symptoms: When severe the patient becomes quickly pale; utters a peculiar cry; loses conscious- ness; face becomes congested; violent con- vulsions follow (last a minute or so), dur- ing which the face is deeply congested, pupils dilated, foam on lips, saliva tinged with blood if tongue has been injured; involuntary evacuations from bladder and hovels; after the convulsion is ended (which it generally does with a long-drawn sigh), patient sinks into a deep stupor (simulates apoplexy), etc. Treatment: Pre- vent patient from injuring himself during the fit; place a handkerchief or piece of wood in his mouth to save tongue; free neck and chest from constrictions; after convulsions, put patient to bed. Nitrite of amyl has been recommended, a few drops to be inhaled; chloroform inhalations may be tried during attack. R—Morphinae sulphat., gr. 1-4 Atropinae sulphat., gr. 1-60. M. Sig.

Place child in lap of nurse, feet and legs in a pail of hot water, and cold water to the head; examine gums, and lance if necessary. If there is disorder 140 of the digestive organs, give an emetio (ipecacuanha). If no tumefaction of the gums exists, give an enema of soap-suds. Two grains of calomel may be given to a child a year old; bromide of potassium in large doses (gr. x for child 1 year old); chloral by enema (gr. iii-v); keep child in dark room after the convulsion; light diet, etc. (See Parsons on "Care of Infant, etc," in another chapter.) ALCOHOLIC STUrOR—(Sometimes re- sembles apoplexy). First thing to do is to empty stomuch (warm water; mustard and water; apomorphine subcutaneously; stom- ach pump, etc.); cold affusion to head; if pulse is weak and skin cold and clammy, hot coffee should be given without milk or sugar- small doses of aromatic spirit of ammonia In water; frictions and warmth to general surface. For nausea, vomiting and irritable stomach, iced milk diluted with Vichy, lime-water, etc., or for per- sistent retching and vomiting give liquor potassae arsenitis (gtt. ss) alone or with a few grains of capsicum every half hour or hour; for nervous prostration, anxiety, etc., give nux vomica (gtt. v-xv) fluid ex- tract.

Symptoms: Heart action slow or quick, with but lit- tle power; sudden pallor of face; loss of consciousness; loss of muscular power, and patient falls. Treatment: Seize the pa- tient and lay him on the ground; head should be on a level with the body; sprin- kle cold water on face; carbonate of am- monia for inhalation; give cold water or a stimulant internally. SHOCK ATTENDING SEVERE IN- JURY.—Slight shock: Tremors; anxiety; pallor; faintness, etc. Treat by rest in bed; reassuring words; cup of coffee or aromatic spirit of ammonia (dr. ss in wa- ter). Severe Shock: Patient is semi-con- solous and incoherent; pale, anxious and shrunken countenance; pulse slow, then rapid, compressible, weak and almost im- perceptible; temperature sub-normal; sur- face cold and bedewed with moisture"; nau- sea and vomiting often present; special senses blunted; respiration sighing and ir- regular; relaxed muscular system, etc. Treatment: Patient should be put to bed with head low; ammonia occasionally to nostrils; warmth to extremities and pit of stomach; hot bottles along spine; give atropia (gr. 1-160) and brandy (dr. iss) every 30 minutes subcutaneously; if much pain, morphia (gr. %). Do not medicate by stomach till reaction takes place, as there is no absorntion; when reaction does oc- cur discontinue the use of stimulants. SHOCK WITH LOSS OF BLOOD.— Symptoms: Lips and face pale; shrunken countenance; skin cold and covered with perspiration; pulse rapid, feeble and flut- tering; respiration quiet or long sighing breathing; weak and whispering voice; muscular system relaxed; often uncon- scious; mutterirgs, etc. Treatment: Have patient warmly covered; perfect rest 142 requisite; toaspoonful doses of brandy or whisky punch every few minutes; beef tea and water; apply to pit of stomach flannel cloths wrung out in hot water. If patient cannot swallow give brandy and opium per rectum, or hypodermatic-ally. HEMORRHAGE FROM WOUNDS. CAPILLARY BLEEDING.—Treatment: Clear away clots; expose part freely to atmosphere; elevate part; cold or hot (120 degrees to 140 degrees) water compresses; ice applied to part; styptics (liq. ferri sub- sulphatis—Monsel's sol.), solutions or pow- ders of alum, tannin, gallic acid, persul- phate of iron, turpentine, tincture of cate- chu, etc. Tannin dissolved in alcohol and ether, and mixed with collodion forms a "styptic collodion," useful for sealing the margins of wounds. VENOUS BLEEDING.—Treatment: Com- pression of venous trunk below injury; graduated compresses; if hemorrhage is from a limb, bandage it from the toes or fingers to level of wound, etc. ARTERIAL BLEEDING.—Check hemor- rhage by pressure on arterial trunk above the wound; elevate part and also flex it thus bending artery on itself (for the ex- tremities); place finger in the wound; tourniquet; Esmarch's bandage; styptics; actual cautery; douching with hot or cold water; torsion (for small arteries); as a permanent measure apply the ligature. CONSTITUTIONAL EFFECTS OF HEM- ORRHAGE.—The pulse is rapid, feeble and fluttering; pulse may be appreciable in large arteries later on; general surface is cold and wet: lips colorless; respiration sighing; nausea; restlessness; darkness be- fore the eyes; roaring in ears; sinking sen- sations; syncope; convulsions and death. If patient mends, he passes into hemor- rhagic fever, etc. Treatment: I'ut patient flat on his back: raise foot of bed and apply Esmarch's bandage to extremities if bleeding is severe; apply warmth to body by hot bottles, etc.; transfusion (extreme cases); ether (m. xxx). and morphia (gr. 1-4). subcutaneously; injections of brandy and hot water; small doses bv mouth of hot coffee or beef tea: stop stimulants as patient recovers: betrin with a milk diet- give iron, etc. (See Shock.) 143 SPECIAL HEMORRHAGES.* EPISTAXIS.—Treatment: Compression of the facial artery will aid in checking the bleeding; snuff salt and water; vinegar; solution of alum in hot water, etc. Plug- ging (If naso-palatlne artery is lacerated).

(1) The Common Carotid (supplies heart and faCe)( may be reached by nresstne *^. finger deeply into the neck in f backward and inwtrd direction at ih* anterior border of ti,~ „. at lne muscle raer or tue slerno-mastoid 145 (3) The Subclavian Artery (supplies upper extremity) may be compressed by pressing with the thumb downward into the hol- low behind the clavicle, where the artery passes over the outer surface of the first rib. Useful in injuries about the shoulder and armpit. (4) The Axillary Artery—To control bleed- ing from the upper part of the arm, place the thumb in the armpit and press outward against the humerus. (5) The Brachial Artery may be compressed by making pressure near the insertion of the coraco-brachjalis muscle; it must be exerted from within outward. The course of this artery is down the inner and anterior aspect of the arm; it gets fur- ther forward toward the elbow, dividing into the radial and ulnar, about one-half inch below. (6) The Radial and Ulnar Arteries can be outlined upward along the outer and in- ner sides of the forearm from the wrist, where their pulsations can be appreci- ated. (7) The Palmar Arches—Hemorrhage occur - ing here can be checked by using gradu- ated compresses and wooden splints over them. (8) The Femoral Artery extends from the middle of the fold of the groin down- ward in the direction of a line which would pass along the inner side of the knee-joint. It can be compressed in the upper-third of the thigh by firm pressure directed backward against the femur. In the middle-third of the thigh pressure must be made from within outward against the bone (use the tourniquet). (9) Popliteal Artery—This artery is situ- ated at the upper part of popliteal space, along the centre of which it descends, and where it can be compressed by deep pressure. (10) The Anterior Tibial Artery can be eonti oiled in the lower part of its course by making the pressure along the track of a line traced from the inner side of the head of the fibula to midway between the malleoli. (11) Dorsal Artery of the Foot—This, the contii nation of the last-named artery, may be compressed along the outer side of the extensor tendon of the great toe. (12) The Posterior Tibial Artery (deeply located except at its lower part) may be appreciated at the hollow between the inner ankle and the heel. 14G CONTUSION OF SCALP.—Symptoms: Swelling (very rapid); pain, etc. Treat- ment: Ice-bag to head; moderate pressure; stimulating lotions; if haematoma is per- sistent, aspirate; incise freely for suppura- tion. WOUNDS OF SCALP.—Wash parts; shave scalp; disinfect region of wound; remove foreign matter; check hemorrhage; drain (horsehair or catgut) if wouud is large; suture or use adhesive plaster strips; dress with iodoform or wet bichloride gauze; bichloride cotton; bandage. GUN-SHOT WOUNDS.—Symptoms: Hem- orrhage; shock; pain (sometimes absent). the secondary effects are inflammation, sloughing, hemorrhage (tetanus, gangrene; blood-poisoning may set in). Treatment: Fiist aid requires attention to shock, pain and hemorrhage, the applying of dressings, etc. Treat shock as elsewhere (opium, rest, stimulants, etc.). Arrest hemorrhage by position, pressure, or tourniquet, etc. DISSECTING WOUNDS.—Treatment: En- courage bleeding by applying a ligature around the hand or finger above the in- jury; wash iu some germicidal fluid; in- cise; suck wound or press blood from it; apply freely the lunar stick, carbolic acid, or sulphate of zinc; dust wound with iodo- form. After this, if inflammation sets in (infective), freely incise, use nitrate of silver stick, etc. Wrap parts in a soothing poultice. For the pain, chlor- al (gr. xx-oz. j of water) may be ap- plied locally; extension of lymphangitis may be prevented by making a circular blister around the arm; treat fever, eto., as elsewhere. PACE WOUNDS.—Treatment: Superfi- cial wounds are ciosed by means of collo- dion, iodoform and ether, or adhesive strips. Remove stitches in 24 hours, when they have to be inserted (wounds of car- tilages of nose, ear, etc.). WOUND OF STENO'S DUCT.-TTeat- ment: Pass suture round the duct from the inside of the cheek; this must be pos- terior to the external opening. WOUNDS OF NECK-(Penetratiug or not). The tongue, lingual, artery, facial artery and the hypoglossal nerve may be 147 Incised in wounds above the hyoid bone. In wounds through the thyro-hyoid mem- brane, the pharynx is opened. The epi- « glottis, sup. thyroid artery, lingual artery and sup. laryngeal nerves are liable to be involved. The vocal cords and the recur- rent laryngeal nerve are involved in wounds through the cartilages. Wounds below the cartilages may injure the sup. and inf. thyroid arteries, thyroid and ant. jugular veins, trachea and oesaphagus. In cases of "cut-thrrat" the hemorrhage may be severe, and fatal from incision of the branches of the carotid artery, or the ext. jugular vein. The main artery and vein usually escape injury on account of their deep situation. To check the bleeding, con- tinued pressure should be applied if venous hemorrhage, and torsion or ligature if ar- terial. Close wound by stitches, etc. Trach- eotomy is resorted to when dyspnoea is bad; a tracheal oanula could be inserted through the wound. Treat non-penetrating wound as in any other part. WOUNDS OF THE CHEST.—Treatment of Non-penetrating Wounds: Check bleed- ing; pass deep sutures to bottom of wound; antiseptic dressing; firm pressure over dressing; bandage around chest. Treat- ment of Penetrating Wounds (parts liable to bo injured; pleura and lung; pericardium and heart; the great vessels): If an inter- costal artery is injured, ligate, etc. If lung bleeds, close wound (external), put the pa- tient on the injured side, and apply cold In the shape of an ice-bag. Give internally opium, ergot, gallic acid, etc. The main object in treating these cases is to restrain Internal hemorrhage and moderate the sub- sequent inflammation. WOUNDS OF ABDOMEN—Contusion Without Rupture of Viscera—Symptoms: Discoloration: swelling; pain; shock. Treatment: Hot fomentations; if rectus muscle is ruptured, treat by position. For haetnatoma, apply cold. Evacuate ab- scesses; water and cracked ice internally. Contusion With Laceration of Viscera- Symptoms: Pain; collapse; great shock. If hollow viscera are affected rapid de- velopment of peritonitis. If stomach Is ruptured the signs are intense pain, tym- pany over region of liver: haematemesis. If the liver, increased hepatic dullness; pain in right hypoehondrium; signs of in- ternal bleeding, vomiting of bilious mat- 148 ter; clay-colored stools, etc. If the Intes- tines, severe radiating pains; vomiting of stomach contents; then bile, and finally blood; bloody stools; tympanites; perito- nitis. If the kidneys', bloody urine; ex- travasations in loin. Treatment: Opium and rest. Use iodoform tampons to check bleeding from liver and spleen; actual cautery, etc. Ligate torn vessels in peri- toneum; unite by sutures tears in stomach and intestines; irrigate peritoneal cavity to remove blood, etc. Non-Penetraling Wounds of Abdomen—In simple variety, cleanse parts; check hemorrhage; pass sutures to bottom of wound; dress auti- septlcally, etc. Penetrating Wounds of Abdomen—Close wound by sutures passed from within outward, including the peri- toneum and thickness of the abdominal wall; dress antiseptically; binder; cracked ice internally; milk; opium if pain and diarrhoea. In the variety with visceral Injury, enlarge wound if necessary, ana treat viscera injured. Where viscera pro- trude, cleanse and return, etc. POISONED WOUNDS—(Bites of taran- tulas; stings of scorpions; centipedes; stings of wasps and bees, etc).—Treatment: Apply diluted ammonia; liquor potassae; suction; subdue local inflammation with lead lotion or cold-water dressing; stimu- lants if necessary, such as brandy; aro- matio spirits of ammonia, etc. RATTLESNAKE, ETC., BITES.—Symp- toms: Swelling, which is rapid and exten- sive; discoloration and disintegration; sys- temic depression. Treatment: Above the wound a tight ligature should be placed; suck wound to encourage bleeding; excise wound; cauterize with nitrate of silver, liquor potassae, etc.; alcohol to point of Intoxication; "intermittent ligature," which implies that ligature should be released for a short period, and tightened again; inject permanganate of potash (10 per rent.) about the wound; ammonia, etc.; hypo- dermatically for collapse. HYDROPHOBIA.—Symptoms: (Stage of melancholia and stage of excitement). In a fully developed case: Convulsions; men- tal disorder; maniacal excitement; patient becomes exhausted; paralysis, etc. Treat- ment: Cauterize (hot iron, nitric acid; nitrate of silver; caustic potash); suck the wound; morphia; chloroform; etc., for suf- i4y fering; pilocarpine (gr. 1-6) subcutaneously repeated; hot vapor bath; rest. MALIGNANT PUSTULE.—Treatment: Excise part freely; cauterize wound with carbolic acid, caustic potash, etc.; wash thoroughly and often with solution (5 per cent.) of potassium permanaganate; stimu- lants; tonics, etc. TETANUS.—Cleanse wound thoroughly; make it aseptic; give potassium bromide (gr. dr. ss-j) every two hours; for sleep- lessness, choral; for pain, morphia; for the asphyxia, chloroform inhalations, etc. R—Nicotinae, gr. ss.

FIRST AID TREATMENT.—Persons con- nected with railroads or machinery are liable to be bruised or crushed. The wounds may be simple, incised, contused or lacerated; limbs may be torn off, hands or feet crushed, etc. The dangers to be feared are hemorrhage, shock (collapse), - and the unnecessary suffering in the move- ment of the patient. (1) Hemorrhage (See Compression of the various arteries). (2) (Shock, which see.) (3) To transport a wounded person, a soft and even bed is made with folded quilts, blankets, pillows, etc., laid upon a shutter-door, wide board, etc., with side pieces attached, and proper covering. Have sufficient help to lift patient properly, and do not let those who do the carrying keep step. (See also Hemorrhage.) FOREIGN BODIES. FOREIGN BODIES IN THE EYE—(Cin- ders, sand, dust, chips of metal or stone, broken eye-lashes, etc.). Treatment: A free flow of tears generally washes foreign 150 body out. Most sure way is to carefully Inspect the eyeball; lay a probe, match. etc., along the eyelid, from the root of the nose outward, evert the lid by seizing the lashes (the patient must look down- wards), when the conjunctival surface will be exposed. The foreign body is then brushed away with a eamel's-hair brush or a pledget of cotton. The irritation may be relieved by instilling a drop of castor or olive oil. In removing broken lashes, the use of forceps may be neces- sary. The magnet has been used for the removal of metallic substances. (The camel's-hair brush may be dipped In the following solution before using: R—Aurl chloridi, gr. j; Aqua, oz., j.) FOREIGN BODIES IN THE EAR.—(In- sects, beads, seeds, corn, etc.) Treatment: In the case of insects, fill the ear-canal with warm oil, syringe with warm water; turn the patient on the affected side, press- ing at the same time firmly upon the ear. Wax is to be softened by oil and removed by syringing with warm water; not picked out. To remove small bodies, syringe ear gently with warm water twice a day. FOREIGN BODIES IN AIR-PASSAGES. —As soon as possible a violent blow must be administered on the back; if this has no elTect, invert the patient's body by assistants, the physician striking between the should ?rs, and moving the body to and fro. If this fails, and suffocative paroxysmr occur and continue, tracheot- omy or laryngotomy must be immediately performed. FOREIGN BODIES IN THE OESOPHA- GUS.—Treatment: Try to extract by for- ceps, horsehair probang. Frequently fish- bones, food, etc., can be felt, if not too far down, and removed by the introduction of the finger or forceps, when the tongue is depressed. If the particle of food, etc.. is too low down, give large mouthfuls of half-chewed bread, to be swallowed, with the hope of carrying the foreign body to the stomach. If the body cannot be re- moved by this means, push it into the stomach with a probang. Tracheotomy is resorted to when suffocation theatens, and Is a last resource. 151 EFFECTS OF HEAT. BURNS.—First Degree.—There is simple erythema (rubefaction), with slight des- quamation. Such action is produced by tincture of iodine, ammonia, mustard, etc., when used as counter-irritants. For slight burns of this degree, treat by applying lead lotion (allays the burning); dust parts with starch or flour, covering with cotton- wool, or use bland unguents (oxide of zinc ointment, palm oil, petrolatum with car- bollo acid added, etc.), as exposure to the atmosphere may irritate; alkaline fluids, such as carron oil (equal parts of linseed oil and limewater); strong solution of bi- carbonate of soda (oz. ss in a cupful of water), etc. Damp earth is a good remedy when others are not at hand. Second De- gree.—This constitutes vesication, the su- perficial layers of the epiderm being de- stroyed. When applied for counter-irrita- tion or stimulating properties, ammonia, acetic acid, cantharides, etc., produce this action. Scalds are treated under this head. Treatment: Care must be taken not to intensify the congestion of the injured parts. In all these burns the clothes must be removed by using scissors along the seams, and not pulling them off. Prevent exposure of burned surface as much as pos- sible during the examination. Blisters should only be opened when they are dis- tended, to relieve tension and prevent further congestive action beneath. Then allow parts to be at perfect rest, and treat as for burns of the first degree. (Do not use flour or starch here, as they be- come caked and irritate); use antiseptic cotton as a dressing. A new cuticle forms by the end of a week or so, when suppura- tion must be looked for, etc. Third De- gree.—There is destruction of the epiderm and most of the true skin in this degree, which is the most painful form of burn. Usually caused by the application of flame, heated metals, boiling oil, etc. Fourth De- gree.—Here the skin and subcutaneous tissue are destroyed, causing contractions and scars. Treatment of third and fourth degree burns: They are treated like burns of the second degree if limited in extent. Bovinine with aristol, eucalyptol or some antiseptic will produce healthy granula- tions in a short time in burns of second 152 and third degrees. But must be redressed every day if Bovinine is used The dressing must be removed before they become foul (10 days); wash in bichloride boI. (1-5000); remove slough and re-dress, etc. In very large burns treat by bathing parts; remove loose skin; spread sud- nitrate of bismuth over surface; layer of lint, etc., as a protective, and held by ad- hesive strips; apply the bismuth twice a day, etc. Fifth Degree—Involves deep fascia and muscles. Sixth Degree.—The part is charred or destroyed. Treatment: After shock or collapse, amputation is the only treatment. Primary work consists in protecting the parts, etc. In extensive burns the warm bath may be employed. For vesicles, dressings of lint moistened with carron oil, after they are opened. The pain of burns in the first degree may be relieved by white lead paint. CONSTITUTIONAL TREATMENT OF SEVERE BURNS.—External heat (hot bath), brandy, atropia and morphia, am- monia subcutaneously for shock; draw away urine; for inflammation and reaction, saline cathartics, etc.; dry cups for con- gested kidneys; also hot fomentations; liquid nourishment (small doses); stimu- lants; cracked ice for thirst; tonics, etc. ACID BURNS.— Acids like nitric, sul- phurlo, hydrochloric, etc., ehould be treated by washing parts with a strong solution of carbonate of sodium, etc., and proceed as with other burns. If the eyes are burned, use an alkaline solution of the carbonate (gr. x-oz. j of water); olive or castor oil being applied afterwards to pro- tect conjunctiva; stimulants and opium if shock. SCALDS OF THE THROAT.—Symptoms: Swelling and redness of throat; swallowing is difficult; hoarseness; fever, etc. Treat- ment: If acids or alkalies are the cause of the injured throat, treat by giving mag- nesia for the strong acids (chalk, baking- soda, whiting, etc.) as a mouth-wash, etc. If soda, ammonia, potash, etc., is the cause, prescribe acids (vinegar, aromatic sulphuric acid, lemon, etc.), diluted and followed up with white of two or more eggs in water, milk, olive oil, or mucilagi- nous drinks (gruel, linseed tea, etc.). For the inflammation, apply leeches over larynx; blisters over upper part of chest, 153 etc., to relieve suffocation. Calomel (gr. j) every hour; when suffocation is threatened, scarify the part; laryngotomy if all else fail. LIGHTNING STROKE.—Shock, force of circulation reduced, weak pulse, breathing slow and sighing. Treat shock, etc. Stimu- lants; rest; warmth to body, etc.; friction to surface; treat burns like elsewhere. BURNS WITH LYE, ETC.—Vinegar, sue ceeded by olive oil, etc., should be ap- plied. POWDER BURNS.—Nothing better than dusting bicarbonate of sodium over burned surface; it allays the pain, etc. EFFECTS OF COLD. Sudden and continued cold may cause death by cerebral congestion or cerebral anaemia; sudden heating may have a bad effect by producing embolism. Treatment: When the whole surface has been affected, the depression which follows must be cau- tiously treated; restore warmth by a warm bath, heated blankets, etc.; stimulants (hot coffee or tea, etc.). CHILBLAIN. — Symptoms: Congestion; swelling; vesication; itching; burning. Treatment: Friction with snow or cold water, to restore circulation; nitrate of silver sol. (1 per cent.); to relieve intense itching use spirit of camphor, turpentine, tincture iodine, etc.; for sloughing, use resin cerate, turpentine, etc., till granula- tion.

FROSTBITE.—Symptoms: Part is cold; bloodless, brittle and of a tallowy white color; sensation lost, etc. Treatment: Treat patient in a room having a low tem- perature if possible; rub parts with sncw or ice-water; continued cold irrigation; massage; remove to a warmer room as 154 soon as reaction is fairly established; if mortification sets in, keep up use of cold; amputate when line of demarcation is es- tablished. SPRAINS. Sprains may involve the tendons, mus- cles, blood-vessels and nerves. A sprain- fracture is where scales of bone to which ligaments are attached are torn away. The symptoms of sprain are pain, swelling, discoloration, and loss of function. Treat- ment: Allay the pain and inflammation by rest of parts, and evaporating lotions, such as lead, arnica, opium, etc. Immo- bility is the essential treatment. Splints and slings may be used for the upper Joints. Pressure bandages for from two to four days; massage, cold applications, etc. SPRAINS OF BACK.—Symptoms: Stiff- ness; pain; disability; may have apparent paresis, and retention of faeces and urine; haematuria, etc. Treatment: Put patient In a comfortable position; rest; leeches; hot (moist) applications; counter-irritants; massage; if much pain on motion, apply a plaster bandage, etc. SPRAINS OF WRIST AND FINGERS. - Treatment: Apply cold and moist cloths; a straight splint should be applied to hand and forearm, and secure with soft bandage or adhesive plaster; keep parts at rest; opium for pain, etc. SPRAINS OF ANKLE.—Treatment: Put patient to bed; elevate joint on pillows; control acute inflammation by lotions, etc.; If sprain be slight, patient may use limb after it has been put up in an immovable dressing (starch, silicate or gypsum) by using crutches; adhesive plaster may be used to fix the joint; strapping ankle; ap- ply moist heat. 155 DISEASES OF THE BLOOD-FORM- ING ORGANS.

MITRAL STENOSIS (OBSTRUCTION). PHYSICAL SIGNS.—Prolonged murmur (blubbering) heard just before first sound, to the right or above the apex; presys- tolic murmur not always present; purring thrill over the apex; pulse feeble, regular; its force not increased by excitement. AORTIC INSUFFICIENCY (REGURGI- TATION). - PHYSICAL SIGNS. - Murmur taking place of second sound, or following it; heard at the junction of the sternum and fourth left costal cartilage; pulse receding, jerky ("Corrigau pulse;" "water hammer" pulse); pulse is regular; murmur can oc- casionally be heard at the sides of the chest and along the spinal column. AORTIC STENOSIS (OBSTRUCTION). PHYSICAL SIGNS.-Murmur synchron- ous with first sound, heard at the second sterno-costal articulation on the right side- Is transmitted upward, and heard over the carotids; intensified second sound over the pulmonic valves; aortic second sound reeble or absent; small, compressible ierk- ing pulse.

PULMONARY STENOSIS (OBSTRUC- TION). PHYSICAL SIGNS.—Murmur heard with first sound of heart (systolic); is heard loudest over the second intercostal space, near edge of sternum; an inorganic pul- monic direct murmur frequently occurs. TREATMENT.*—Symptoms are rarely produced by valvular lesions until en- largement of the heart supervenes. When dilatation predominates over the hyper- trophy, serious results as a rule follow. Before the development of cardiac hyper- trophy, precautionary measures are all that will be required; exercise, sustain nutri- tion, improve condition of blood, etc. PRESCRIPTIONS.

The rice-water evacuations consist of epithelium, mucus and some blood-cor- puscles; they are devoid of coloration from the bile-pigment. This stage more or less rapidly passes Into the alglde stage. Stage of collapse (alglde stage): Eyes sunken; features pinched; face presents a leaden or livid hue; oheeks hollow; dropping of lower eyelid; nose sharp; cold clammy sweatB; surface of body more or less cyanotic; skin shriveled and wrinkled; sometimes suppres- sion of urine; temperature falls rapidly In the superficial regions; pulse feeble and thready; heart weak; paroxysmal dyspnoea; hiccough; voice sometimes inaudible; jacti- tation; wakefulness; anxiety changing into apathy; sometimes headache; tinnitus; muscae volitantes; vision dimmed; reflex irritability impaired; cramps. In hopeless cases stupor and coma. Functions of ab- sorption and secretion impaired or abol- ished; purging and vomiting diminish; retoh- ing may still continue; thirst intense; stools 225 passed in bed; they are less liquid; before death the temperature rises; typhoid symp- toms. Stage of reaction: Surface gets warm- er; expression and color of face change; heart's action improved; also the pulse; respiratiou nearly normal; other symptoms abate; the secretions are re-established; un- less complications or relapses occur, recov- ery takes place. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS. — From arsenic poisoning, effects of croton oil, simple diarrhea, severe summer cholera, perforation of the stomach, perforation of the bowel, extensive enteritis, cold stage of severe remittent fever. TREATMENT.—During an epidemic, pre- ventive measures; cleanliness; free ven- tilation; disinfection of stools; quarantine; attention to diet, to temperance, mental state, sewers, drains, water supply, etc. Upon the appearance of diarrhoea patient must be put to bed; rest, pure air. Evacuative stage: Opium in some form; may be combined with capsicum, camphor, chloroform, acetate of lead, etc. Is con- traindicated in the stage of collapse; rec- tal or hypodermatics of brandy; for vomit- ing: carbolic acid; hydrocyanic acid, etc.; perspiration should be encouraged; efferves- cent drinks; quietude; disinfection. Stage of collapse: Stimulants carefully given; injection of atropina; whisky subcutane- ously; ice. After the purging: enemata of biaudy and beef tea; injections of water into cellular tissues; diffusible stimulants (aromatic spirits of ammonia; ammonia carbonate, etc.); hot coffee; lime water and milk; enemata of milk, etc. Locally: mus- tard plaster over abdomen; for cramps, i-lnaplsms. Stage of reaction: Great care in diet; liquid food in small quantities; bovinine; water freely; tonics; encourage re-establishment of secretions; precautions against bed-sores; catheter for retention of urine, etc. Dr. • Lee, of Chicago, has advo- cated a plan of treatment which is very simple as well as effective. His treatment Is as follows: A large irrigation of hot water, made soapy, is introduced into the colon through a suitable rubber tube; one to three gallons at a time are injected twice a day for the first two days, then once a day afterward, if required, which, he says is seldom the case. The stomach 22r, Is cleansed with hydrozone.* a perfect an- tiseptic, given in half-cupful doses, to- gether wltl- hot water freely. Feeding and nursing same as required in any other prostrating disease. The hydrozone, given In the doses mentioned, is continued, till convalescence, etc. (See "Cholera—Preven- tion and Treatment," by Elmer Lee, A. M., M. D., Chicago—the Chicago Med.

It reaches the substances to be destroyed more thoroughly and safely than any other agent of its class. Iti efficacy Is due to tho potency of the nascent oxygen, which is set free when brought in Con- tact with any open diseased surface (skin or mucous membrane). Pus corpuscles are de- stroyed; thoir spores annihilated, etc. Glycozone acts more slowly, but Is very effective.

DEFINITION.—A speclflc epidemic dis- ease, self-limited, characterized by a catarrh of the respiratory, and occasion- ally of the digestive organs, and by ner- vous symptoms and debility. SYMPTOMS.—Period of incubation: a few hours to six days, although it may ex- tend to three weeks. Onset sudden; chilli- ness; latter alternates with flushing and beat; pain in the limbs; lassitude; fre- quently headache, nausea and vomiting; remittent fever; evening exacerbations; pulse at first full and bounding, Increased; apathy; debility; prostration; restlessness; giddiness; pulse later is weak, soft, and slow; pain in various parts; urine febrile, etc. Locally: catarrh usually begins in nose and conjunctiva; it extends down- wards; parts dry in the beginning, then a watery, acrid discharge takes place; sneez- ing; epistaxis (?); throat, mouth, and tongue sore; frontal headache; taste im- paired. "When catarrh extends to larynx, we have hoarseness; cough (paroxysmal), dyspnea, etc. Cough dry at first, later with bronchitis, occasionally bloody ex- pectoration; pain in epigastrium; diarrhea; nausea and vomiting; thirst; tongue furred; loss of appetite. In cases which are complicated and severe: typhoid con- dition; dry brown tongue; delirium, stupor, convulsions. Catarrhal symptoms subside In about five to seven days; complications prevent rapid convalescence, etc DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS.—From catarrhal affections of the nose, throat and bronchial tubes. TREATMENT.—Put patient In a cool, well-ventilated room; no draughts. Give at the outset a calomel and saline purga- tive; a stimulating emetic if nausea, or air-tubes are loaded with secretion; liquid diet; cool drinks; dilute sol. nitrate of potassium with lemon-juice and sugar; quinina (gr. xv) with morphine (gr. ss) 230 to which belladonna may be added; mu- riate of ammonia freely, etc. Treat symp- toms as they arise. An excellent plan of treatment is to spray the nostrils (nares) every three hours with hydrozone (oz. ss with oz. iv-vi of lukewarm water); to reach the trouble In the bronchial tubes, with a hand atomizer allow patient to in hale ozonized vapor three to six times per diem, as follows: Hydrozone (oz. ss), water (oz. es) glycerine (oz. j).

DEFINITION—An acute catarrh of the upper air-passages principally, occurring at a flxed period annually, and disappear- ing after a variable duration. SYMPTOMS.—Swelling, congestion, and itching of the eyelids and conjunctiva; eyes watery; photophobia sometimes; tume- 231 faction, congestion, and watery discharge from the nostrils; violent and frequent sneezing; cough (more or less); asthma (?); irritation of the throat, fauces, and soft palate. Symptoms are sudden in their onset; paroxysmal. TREATMENT.—Give quinina (gr. v td.) before the attack; give it throughout dis- ease in gr. ij doses; arsenic (small doses); bowels open; treat cough; flannel next the skin; for the asthma see that affection; stimulants; nourishing diet: tonics. Hay- fever can be prevented by the early use of that powerful bactericide, hydrozone. Spray the nostrils and throat thoroughly two or three times a day, and with the atomizer inhale the ozonized vapor as pre- viously explained (see influenza). This treatment must be kept up during the whole hay-fever season. PRESCRIPTIONS. (221) R—Fowler's solution, oz. J. Tr. belladon., dr. ij. M. S. gtt. v-x td. after meals.

DEFINITION.—A specifio, contagious dis- ease, occurring: chiefly in childhood, and characterized by a hard, peculiar, parox- ysmal cough. The expiratory efforts are followed by a long, noisy inspiration or whoop. Period of incubation, about two to fourteen days. SYMPTOMS.-First stage (catarrhal): Generally lasts from three to ten days. 232 Malaise; loss of appetite; fever (slight), with evening exacerbation and morning remission; coryza; slight cough; restless- ness; great nervous excitability; running from the nose; redness of the eyes; sneez- ing; sometimes delirium at night. The cough may be severe; it is dry at first, etc. Second strge (spasmodic): Cough is parox- ysmal; tickling in throat may precede cough; eyes swell and protrude during paroxysms; face cyanosed; veins of head and neck swollen; nose bleed; body bent forward; paroxysms set in abruptly. The cough (paroxysms) Is distressing and se- vere, and consists of a number of quick, spasmodic, forcible loud expiratory puffs, alternating with prolonged, shrill inspira- tory whoops. It usually lasts from one- half to two minutes, returning at regular intervals; paroxysms usually lake place at night. There may be involuntary discharge from the bladder and rectum; hernia; pro- lapsus ani; convulsions, etc. Third stage (terminal): The paroxysms gradually di- minish in frequency; are less severe; cough loisens; expectoratiou freer; vomiting ceases; general health improves, etc. DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS. — From bronchitis, naso-pharyngeal catarrh. TREATMENT.-Keep patient in a warm room; flannel next to the skin; warm drinks; give a simple expectorant (see pre- scription No. 221); prevent complications and relieve symptoms. Sedatives in second stage: small doses of quinina; belladonna; alum; antipyrine; bromide of potassium and bromide of ammonia. Antipyrine may be given in doses of gr. %-iii-v for children, according to age; diet of patient should be carefully regulated, etc. Hydrozone, as be- fore recommended, is very efficient. The throat, nose, pharynx and larynx are to be Irrigated; inhalations with the atomizer; hydrozone may be swallowed, as It Is bene- ficial and harmless. PRESCRIPTIONS. (222) R—Tr. opii. camphor.

DEFINITION.—An acute, specific, con- tagious disease, frequently epidemio, the lesion of which consists of a croupous in- flammation of the mucous membranes. The period of incubation varies from two to four days; sometimes thirty hours to eight days; exceptionally, two weeks. SYMPTOMS.—Soreness or pain in the throat; fauces red and swollen, and cov- ered with small specks of diphtheritio de- posit, which rapidly extend and spread Into patches of variable thickness; patches adhere to surface of palate or tonsil, and when removed leave a shallow ulcer, with a bleeding surface; exudation may spread to the mouth, lips, nose, Eustachian tube, laiynx, stomach, etc.; tonsils and uvulae enlarged; breath foeted; sometimes ulcer- ation or sloughing; parts of membrane frequently coughed up; glands beneath the angle of the jaw hard, tender and en- larged; sometimes the structures of the neck are more or less tumefied. If the nares are involved, there is a sanious and offensive discharge. If the larynx, hoarse- ness or aphonia, dyspnoea, etc. If the bronchi, embarrassed respiration; and so with other parts involved. General symp- toms: Temperature may rise to 103-107 de- grees F.; pulse may be greatly accelerated; asthenic or typhoid symptoms in bad cases; diarrhea; cyanosis; asphyxia, etc. Diph- theria is usually slow in onset; there is generally malaise, chilliness, loss of appe- tite, nausea and vomiting; fever, thirst, headache, stiffness of neck, sore throat, etc. 234 DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS. — From acute follicular ulceration of the tonsils, croup (?), scarlatinal sore throat, pharangi- tls with great secretion. TREATMENT.—Supporting: Temperature of room .from 65-68 degrees F. Impregnate air of room with steam: hygiene; ventila- tion; disinfection, etc. The diet must be nutritious (animal broths, milk, eggs, etc.): cool drinks freely; ice to suck; whisky or brandy; nutrient enemata if swallowing is difficult; mild aperient; saline drink of a sol. citrate of potassium (dr. i-O j). etc. For typhoid symptoms: Ammonia and bark. camnhor, musk, ether, etc Small doses of tr. ferri chlorldi. and sol. potassl chloratis. alternately, every half hour; then use hy- drozone, spray or gargle* (every two hours), the nose, throat, mouth, pharynx, larynx. Hydrozone disinfects the discharges: pre- vents their absorption into the system; destroys the disease germs; removes the false membrane. Tt is thorough, quick and very effective. The Diphtherin Antitoxlne Solution (Schering) Is a clear liquid, which contains TM> per cent, albumen, and which may be kept indeflnitely, bv the addition of 0.2 per cent. Trikresol. For its use Dr. Hans Andeison gives the following rules: 1. For the protection of inmates in affected dwellings: The dose is, for children under two years, 1 c. c.; for children, from two to ten years. 2 c. c.: for older children and adults. 3 c. o. It is injected subcu- taneously by means of a Pravaz syringe Into the subcutaneous tissues behind the shoulder blade, or into the arm or upper part of the thicrh. The syringe should previously be subjected to the pro- cess of sterilization, by using alcohol and a 3 per cent, carbolic acid, or preferably 1 per cent. Trikresol solution. During the disease itself, 10 c c. are injected in the first stage, or flist day of the affection. Later (second, third or fourth day), larger nnd more powerful doses are required, up- ward from 40-50 c. c. PRESCRIPTIONS. (225) R—Tr. ferrl eWorld., dr. 1-liJ. Glycerinae. q. s. ad oz. j. M. S.

Parsons* places the true cause of phthisis as existing, not primarily in the tubercle bacillus, but in a lymphatic stasis due to congenital malfor- mation of some excremential organ, or, ac- quired by chemical decomposition of nor- mal blood elements increasing waste tissue products. From the arterial hue to venous blood in phthisis he argues that oxygen in the natural state passes over from the ar- teries through the capillaries into the veins. and, hence, tlere must be a deficiency in some oxidizable element, probably oxidiz- able phosphorus. That these theories are tenable is shown by the results of the ad- ministration of chemically pure syrups of the hypophosphates and the residence of the patient in ozonized atmospheres. The tubercle bacillus, he holds, is a develop- ment of secondary importance, only due to the favorable media presented by lym- phatic stasis. ♦See Times and Register, Jan. 6, 1895, et seq. 242 SYMPTOMS.—First stage: Dry, hacking cough; pains In chest; slight or profuse hemorrhage: feverishness: excitable pulse: loss of flesh and strength, etc. Physical signs: (Obscure at fnst.) Dulness under clavicle on one side; feebleness of respira- tory murmur; upper part of chest con- tracted; bronchial respiration: expiration prolonged: mucous and subcrepitant rales; heart sounds ringing and loud, etc. Sec- ond stage: Chills: fever increases; sputa purulent, streaked with blood, or cheesy yellowish cakes: night sweats; hectic; loss of appetite; hoarseness; emaciation; de- bility; diarrhea (colliquative); cough; edema of extremities, etc. Physical signs: During formation of pus, dull sound; cav- ernous rale, or gurgling; cavernous respira- tion and resonance; pectoriloquy, etc. One of the earlest symptoms in phthisis is the cough. The rise in the temperature Is also an important symptom. After the disease has advanced, the physical signs pertain to pulmonary consolidation, cavi- ties, bronchitis and pleurisy. TREATMENT. — Prophylactic. Treat symptoms, etc. (See Prescriptions). The benefit of change of climate is most per- ceptible in patients suffering from the first or early second stage of the disease: It is in incipient phthisis that a change of climate means relief, and In many cases permanent cure. The requisites of a cli- mate for such patients are dryness and elevation, and of the many health resorts offering these advantages. Bartholow places those of North Carolina first, no doubt on account of the abundant growth of that wonderful ozone generator—the long-leaf pine. And I know of no place In that State more suitable for patients afflicted with phthisis, or, in fact, any of the diseases relative to the throat and air passages, than that delightfully situated resort known as Southern Pines. It pos- sesses all the curative properties that in- fluence patients seeking an ideal sanitar- ium. Situated as it is In the very heart of the long pine belt, its many attractions and advantages have long since placed it ore-eminently the greatest of natural health resorts. The climate Is such as to Invite attention from every quarter. It is the Ideal climate for invalids. It is free from the intense heat of summer, and the cold of the Northern winter is unknown. 243 The atmosphere is constantly charged with the purest of balsamic vapor, the inhala- tion of which exerts such a curative in- fluence, and together with the dry and bracing air, tends in a wonderful degree to modify the serious inroads of disease. Among the many advantages of this place are perfect drainage, dry air, water of the finest quality, even temperature, an atmosphere laden with balsamic vapor, etc. According to Prof. W. C. Kerr, former State geologist of North Carolina, the average annual mean temperature is 58 degrees; average summer temperature, 77 degrees; average winter temperature, 44 degrees, and average minimum, 13 degrees, while a record of 19 degrees is rarely made east of the "Blue Ridge." The average mean annual rain fall is 45 inches. This precipitation is distributed nearly uni- formly through the different seasons, and notwithstanding this large amount of rain fall, the tables of humidity show that the climate is as dry as that of France, and the cultivation of the vine, cotton, silk, etc., furnishes the strongest practical proof of the fact. The hygiene (change of cli- mate, eto.) Is more important than the medicinal treatment. PRESCRIPTIONS. (257) R—Ammonii chlorldi, dr. J. Syr. scillae, dr. iij. Infus. senegae, oz. vj. M. S. oz. ss td.

METHODS OF VACCINATION. — The time to perform the operation in a healthy child is before the fourth month. The part usually selected for the inocu- lation is over the point of insertion of the left deltoid muscle, although the thigh or leg Is frequently chosen. Whichever part is selected, the skin should be made tense, and one or more punctures or scratches made with the vaccine point containing the lymph, which is then ap- plied and rubbed in. It is then allowed to dry, after which the wearing apparel is replaced. The virus used must be abso- lutely pure; that produced by Dr. Francis C. Martin, of Boston, Mass., fulfills all necessary conditions, and Is fully war- ranted. SYMPTOMS FOLLOWING VACCINA- TION.—Itching; tension; heat; sometimes erythema or erysipelas; occasionally en- largement of the axillary glands. Consti- tutional symptoms appear usually after the eighth day. Slight fever (may reach 104 degrees F. in bad cases); irritability; de- rangement of the alimentary canal; slight t anorexia, etc. PHENOMENA FOLLOWING THE OP- ERATION.—From the third to, fifth day after vaccination, a small light-red nodule appears over the point of 'inoculation (slight itching, area of redness); by the fifth, sixth or seventh day a vesicle Is formed with a depression in its centre; it continues to enlarge, reaching Its height by the eighth or ninth day, when the areola appears (% inch in breadth), frequently with small vesicles forming upon it; there is usually induration and swelling accompanying it. On the tenth or eleventh day it commences to fade, the contents of the vesicle gradually dry- ing, etc., leaving a hard, reddish-brown scab, which falls off from the fifteenth ' to the thirtieth day; a cicatrix with minute pits over its base is the result. 269 TREATMENT—If much inflammation, lead lotion, wet lint, starch powder, etc.; protect arm from irritation, and vesicles from being scratched. Watch complica- tions, particularly after patient has been re-vaccinated. PRESCRIPTION'S. (360) R—Powd. starch, Oxide zinc, aa eq. pts. M. S.

INTRODUCTORY. The problem of how properly to care for the young infant until it has arrived at a period in its existence beyond which the chief dangers to its health are mainly the accidents of life rather than a want of tommon sense or scientific knowledge, has been a source of endless research. So far the battle has just begun. Someone nearly every day advances a new theory and builds another air castle of hope, only for someone else a little more clear-sighted to destroy. During the past few years science has rapidly advanced the food problem in the management of infancy to such a degree that we may now, with great accuracy, detail the proper substances and amounts that are necessary for the complete nour- ishment of the babe. But the food problem, though playing such an important part, Is not by any means the sole management of infancy, nor does the physician's responsibility end with infant feeding. The study of the care of children has but just commenced. There are many things which the masses are grossly ignorant of in the management and hygienic care of their offspring, and it is our duty to instruct them. There are old whims, granny notions and sayings, which must be rooted out of the minds of young mothers. There are bare-faced lies in the quack advertisement of the news- paper which, alas, the better-educated often believe, try, and subsequently rue. 292 These things and many others it is the duty of every true-hearted physician to at- tempt to efliciently eradicate from the pub- lic mind. It is a sign of advancing en- lightenment to notice that in many places this is being done, and that a clearer idea of justice is being realized by the rising generations. There is still much to accom- plish, and it is probable that less infant lives would be sacrificed each succeeding year were the subjects connected with infant management, admitted to the curri- culum of our higher public Institutions of learning. It is not the intention to exhaustively discuss the subject of the care of infants In this work, but to outline the principles Involved as they have been brought to the notice of the author, in an extensive ex- perience, both at the bedside and in the home. The good judgment of the general prac- titioner will aid him in individual cases, for the first lesson to learn in the care of children Is that no two can be handled In exactly the same way. RESUSCITATION OF THE NEW-BORN. -The methods necessary to resuscitate a new-born infant depend largely on how much life the child exhibits when born. When there is simply a sluggishness of respiratory powers, two or three vigorous slaps by the palm of the hand on the child's buttocks will often revive it. Fail- ing in this method, a bucket of warm and of cold water. Into which the child can alternately be dipped for a moment, has powerful stimulating properties to the respiratory centre in the medulla. The only method of artificial respiration, with, perhaps, the exception of the Laborde method of rhythmical traction on the tongue, which is suitable for the resusci- tation of asphyxiated infants, is as fol- lows: Wipe all mucus from the child's mouth, place the fingers of one hand so as to close the nose and with the other push the larynx back from the outside, so as to close the oesophagus, then with your mouth against the infant's blow and 111? the child's lungs with air. As soon as the lungs are inflated sufficiently to raise the ribs and depress the diaphragm, re- 293 lease your hold of the throat and larynx and gently compress the ribs from below upwards. This is to be repeated until the child shows signs of life. Sometimes two hours will be necessary in carrying on this artificial respiration before we are warranted in giving up the attempt. THE TYING OF THE UMBILICAL CORD.—In the ordinary case, as soon as the child has taken a few good respira- tions, and a red glow appears on the surface of the skin in the place of the purple hue just prior to the first gasp, the cord .should be ligated at about two inches from the abdominal wall. For ligature a piece of ordinary cotton twine, which has been previously immersed In an antiseptic fluid is as good as any and is always handy in the household. Pass the twine around the umbilical cord, and make a double turn of the ends in making the first knot; this will prevent the twine slip- ping back when tightening around the cord, and secure a perfect control of the artery. The second turn of the twine should be after the manner of a square knot. Divide the cord with a sharp pair of scissors about an inch from the ligature ou the placental side. Allow the blood to es- cape from the placenta so long as it does not spurt arterial blood. This allows an easy delivery of the placenta. Look care- fully at the umbilical stump of the child to see that all vessels have been secured. See, also, that the ends of the twine are short enough to prevent their catching in blankets or clothing and become pulled off. Wrap the child in a soft blanket and lay it aside until the mother is cared for. WASHING THE INFANT.—The washing of the infant !s one of the most important parts of its early management. Many a child has lost its life through the careless- ness of the nurse in unduly exposing the child to cold while bathing it. First, anoint the ch'ld with hog's lard. This renders the sebaceous matter, which is on the skin of all infants to a greater or less ex- 2!»4 tent, soluble and easily removable by soap and water. Next prepare a tub of warm water, large enough to Immerse the Infant, the tem- perature of which Is about 100 degrees Fahr., and also a soft linen or canton flannel rag or old handkerchief. Place the infant up to its neck in the tub of water (the Idea being that there is no danger in re- turning the infant to the same tempera- ture from which it has come), and sup- porting Its head, have the nurse gently wash the child underneath the surface of the water with the rag, using only the best of castlle soap. The head may be washed while the child Is in the bath, but the face should have more eare and be wiped afterwards with a wet rag, using no soap. On lifting the baby from the bath it should be placed in a soft, warm blanket, and, with gentle friction on the outside of the blanket, should be thoroughly dried. Then the creases of the skin, arm pits, etc., should receive thorough powdering with starch or talcum powder. The subsequent baths of the infant should be given every morning after the second week, the temperature of the water being about that of the body. Until that age, sponging the parts where soil and friction occur is all that is necessary. THE CARE OF THE UMBILICAL STUMP.—The next process in the care of the infant at this stage is the dressing of the umbilical stump. It should be the duty of every physician to see that this is done properly, or, better, to dress it himself. If thorough attention Is given the subject It Is not likely that any excoriation or granulation will take place after the stump has separated. The following is the method which the writer has found to answer best: Take a generous wad of antiseptic absorbent cotton, completely envelop the stump with it, turn the whole upwards on the child's abdomen, and secure it to the same by a strip of surgeon's adhesive plaster, about six inches long and an Inch In width. Leave this dressing alone for five or six days (until the umbilical cord has had time to separate), then remove the plaster.by placing a towel wet with 295 warm water over it for about fifteen min- utes, and the whole will easily come off without pulling the skin or causing pain to the babe. Re-dress the umbilicus with another pad of cotton, as before. Leave the second dressing on for five days more. Do not use oil or" moist dressings, or bind- ers to secure the dressing. DRESSING OF THE INFANT.—To dress an infant properly is as important a part of its management as the proper feeding. The general practice of overloading a child's body at one portion and leaving other important portions practically naked is wrong in principle as well as practice, and may be the cause of serious acute diseases. As this subject has been dis- cussed by the writer at length in medical journals, there will be but an outlining of it in this place. For this purpose the following general rules may be mentioned, the execution of which must conform with the circum'stances of the individual cases: First, a child should be dressed evenly, loosely and warmly, from its neck to its feet. There should be no excessive col- lection of clothing about its waist. Every article should be supported from the shoulders, if it tends towards dragging on the waist. The quality of texture should In the main be of silk-and-wool material for garments worn next the skin, or canton flannel if the parent's purse will not ad- mit of anything so expensive. An all-wool texture is made by some manufacturers, which so nearly resembles the silk-and- wool that it is excellent for its softness and can be recommended here. The ordi- nary all-wool goods will not do for in- fants, as they will cause much irritation to the skin. Over the undergarments may be worn articles made of all-wool. Second, there should never be allowed an abdominal binder on an infant, unless for some congenital hernia. The abdominal binder on the healthy infant predisposes to the causation of herniae by compress- ing the abdominal walls, instead of allow- ing the relaxation nature intended. A ohild should be so loosely dressed that one may with ease pass his hand between in- tegument and clothing. Third, the diaper should be made of canton flannel, but not too heavy. The softest side should go next the skin. 296 Fourth, the shirt should be made of texture, as above indicated, and preferably of knit variety, opening in front all the way down. Silk stockings should cover the feet and legs and reach well up on the thighs. Stockings should never be col- ored unless by an iron-dyed black. Most other coloring mixtures are harmful. Fifth, over these garments may be placed an all-wool dress, which may be made with waist and sleeves of the same ma- terial. It is to be made loosely, and may be covered with a muslin slip. This man- ner of dressing infants may be regulated for summer or winter weatlier by the thickness of the material used In their manufacture. ^5^" 297 CHAPTER XII. INFANT FEEDING. For convenience we will consider tlie subject of infant feeding under two heads, viz.: First, the feeding of infants under one year of age, and, second, the feeding of infants between one and two years old. IMAM - FEEDING UNDER ONE YEAR OF AGE. The feeding of the new-born infant until the third day is a matter of considerable Importance, especially it" the mother is a primipara. For these three days the milk Is not in sufficient quantity to keep the child from crying with hunger, and, hence It generally succeeds in becoming dosed, for colic, with various sorts of mint tea and, often, paregoric. During this period always let the child nurse the breast every time It is hungry, for this act develops the breast of the mother and the suction power of the child as well as it induces a beneficial action, by the colostrum, on the bowels of the infant. It is a rule with some nurses to give a little sweetened water or molasses for a laxative soon after birth; this is not nec- essary if the child will nurse the breast at once. It does no great harm, how- ever. If artificial feeding is necessary, as will be probable, during the first three days, let the child first take all it can from the breast, then give about a half-ounce of the following mixture: Good cream (from milk not over 6 hours old)..............drachms 2 Boiled water..............drachms 8 Sugar ................grains abt. 10 TLe whole thoroughly nixed and sterilized. 298 Do not force the Infant to take more than just enough to appease Its hunger and allow It to sleep. This can be re- peated, as necessary, until the mother oan satisfy her infant. The feeding of the infant after the third day should be, by all means, breast milk, If there are no contraindications on ac- count of the condition of the mother. Weakly and slcklv mothers should not be allowed to nurse their offspring, for not only will 'the drain be too great for her Bvstem, but the milk, which she will fur- nish, will not bo of a quality suitable for her babe. It is always wed to have analyses of the breast milk made to de- termine the qualliv of the food the child Is receiving, especially If the infant does not appear to thrive. If the mother Is unable to nurse her own infant a wet nurse Is to be obtained, if possible. The wet nurse should not be over three or four months in milk to obtain the best results, and, If the child Is ycunger than this the wet nurse of the same length of time In milk Is to be preferred. She should bo willing to submit to examination lor disease, an 1 great care should be exer- cised on part of the physician that there •lurk no evidences of syphilitic taint, scrofula, tuberculosis, or gonorrhea. The diet of the nurse should be of ar- ticles easily assimilable and nutritious. Flatulence should be guarded against. ARTIFICIAL FEEDING—When a child cannot be brought up on breast milk from Its mother or a wet nurse, we are forced to find some artificial substitute. Cow's milk, because it Is the most con- venient substitute to be obtained, and re- sembles woman's milk sufficiently to pre- pare therefrom an analagous food, is the one we generally adopt. It is necessaryi however, to artificially change Its com- position so that It will compare closely with the natural food of the Infant. It will be seen that to make the neces- sary changes to render acid cow's milk, like that of woman's, we must add a little soda or lime water, dilute the albuminoids and casein with water, add cream to bring up the fat percentage, and increase the milk-sugar. 299 COMPARATIVE TABLE OF WOMAN'S AND COW'S MILK.

Alka. SI. Acid. I have been in the habit, with children from a few months to a year of age, of recommending cream from milk of six hours' standing, diluted with water, prop- erly sweetened and rendered alkaline by lime water. This is substituted for the ordinary mixed milk, the whole, of course, to be sterilized. In cities during the summer season it Is often difficult to procure milk that is eufliciently good for the average infant. It has been brought generally many miles from the country, and has run the risk of considerable dilution on the way. There are several farms near our larger cities where milk for infants is put up in sealed Jars, having been carefully milked, steril- ized and hermetically confined until it reaches its destination. Such milk comes higher in price, naturally, but is so far superior to ordinary city milk that the lives of many infants have undoubtedly been saved by employing It. Jersey cow's milk contains more fat than others, the cream being about 20 per cent. This is the right standard for children under a year of age. Ass's milk and "strippings" are nearer the standard of woman's milk, but neither are practicable. 300 STERILIZATION OF MILK.—The neces- sity for the sterilization of milk, when in- tended for food for infants, lies in the fact that milk, containing, as it does, in- active, devitalized organic globules. Is one of the most inviting of media for the cul- tivation of atmospheric germs, as well as those derived from tuberculous cows. There are two ways of sterilizing milk now employed. One by boiling or steam- ing the milk, the other by a process called Pasteurization, or bringing the milk 1" a temperature of 75 degrees centigrade (167 Fahr.) for forty-five minutes. Each method has its advantage, but the latter is undoubtedly the best. Boiling sterilizes quickly, fifteen to twenty min- utes being required, but it also devital- izes the milk, so that children do not thrive so well on it as on Pasteurized milk. Both methods are complete steril- izers. The bottles used for infant feeding should not have any angles In which milk may become collected and difficult of re- moval. The milk may be sterilized in small bottles of just sufficient size to hold a single feeding, or it may be sterilized in a large bottle, and while yet hot poured off Into the smaller ones, to be opened only as the infant requires Its food. Having mixed the milk, place a wad of absorbent cotton In the mouth of the bottle and place in water of a tempera- ture of 167 degrees Fahr. This is to be kept over just enough heat to keep the water at the above temperature for forty- five minutes. It has for some years been my habit of sterilizing the milk in a large bottle and run It through a couple thicknesses of cheese-cloth Into the small bottles, cork- ing the latter with a rubber stopper. This frees the milk of any scum which may be deposited on the surface of the milk dur- ing sterilization. A sterilization apparatus is a desirable article for convenience. The best instru- ment for this purpose now on the market is that known as "Arnold's Steam Steril- izer." It maintains the three important factors for sterilization—simplicity, con- venience and efficiency. 301 FOOD INGREDIENTS.—Starch as a food for infants should not be given until the child is able to digest it. Ptyalin, which acts on starch, does not become secreted until after the sixth month, and not fully developed uutil the child is a year of age. The main starches given children are found in potato, oatmeal and barley. They are designed to take up oxygen, but will interfere with the albu- minoids if given in too large quantities, and cause malassimilation. Oatmeal in- creases peristalsis, preventing constipation. Barley checks diarrhoea. Laotose maintains the body heat, and is found in the solids of milk. If it be de- ficient the little one emaciates. Nitrogenous matter is found in eggs. which may be given a child of ten months or over. The white of egg is the most essential. It contains about 20 per cent. nitrogenous matter and no fat. The yolk contains the fatty matter. Egg may be diluted with water and sweetened, mak- ing a good, substitute for milk or addition thereto. Beef and mutton broths form nitrogenous food. Beef tea should be made from a pound of beef to a pint of water, by cold infusion, heated only just before using. Potash and lime also come from meats. A child of ten months may be given a little steak, which has been cooked, to suck, or the juice may be squeezed from the steak and given to the child.

As this Implies the period of weaning to those children who up to this point have been breast fed, some of the re- marks in the foregoing sections apply to such. At the beginning of the second year the first molars should appear, which indicates that the child is old enough to masticate Its food. It may have, therefore, crusts of bread, crackers, meat-juice,' chicken broths and such like foods; Graham bread and rice may be added to the dietary. At two years of age the child should have 20 deciduous teeth, and be able to digest all the plain food that is proper for it. Water as an element of diet should not be forgotten. A child should have a large amount of water, even If his food Is mainly liquid. Bring the child up to eat slowly, regularly and as much as he wants In a given time. Fruits may be allowed after the second year, baked apples, full ripe bananas may be scraped and given. Stimulants should never be allowed the healthy child. TABLE OF DIET FROM ONE TO TWO YEARS.

' 6th to loth month.......Four central incisors. 8th to 12th month.......Four lateral incisors. 12th to 15th month.......Four anterior molars. 16th to 22d month...........Four canine teeth. 20th to 36th month.......Four posterior molars. Dentition may, however, be much retard- ed in health. This often is an indication of rachitis, especially if the closure of the anterior fontanel is delayed beyond the 20th month. The order of the eruption may be irregular also. Disorders arising from dentition are to be regarded as few. There is no doubt that coincident with this process digestive disturbances may arise. The irritability of teething children is a fact regardless of the opinions of many eminent writers to the contrary. Slight diarrhoeas may occur, and great caution must be exercised that the feeding is correct or that the diarrhoea is not aggravated, and, if occurring, is promptly checked. Convulsions are gener- ally easily traced to other causes than that of dentition. It is better if the gum-lancet, during dentition, be seldom used. There are spe- cial indications where it may be of benefit, but they are few. Generally the molars are the only teeth that will require any lancing. It is probable, if there is any upward pressure on the gums sufficient to cause pain, that the pressure will shortly benumb the sensibility of the gum from constriction of the blood supply. Lancing without occasion simply causes a cicatrix to form over the tooth and the eruption made so much the more dif- ficult. "0-J CHAPT1011 XIII. DISEASES OF INFANCY GEN FKALLY OCCURRING PRIOR TO THE THIRD YEAR. COXSTITI'TIOXAL DISEASES. RACHITIS. DEFINITION—A dlathetlo disease oc- curring during the first years of life, man- ifested chiefly by a deficiency of lime salts in the bones, and growing out of a faulty diet to the child after birth, or to the mother during utero-gestatlon. CAUSES.— Inheritance, tubercular, syph- ilitic, weakly parentage, poverty and hard- ship; food: thin, poor breast milk, poor quality of artificial food, too much stareli or sugar, excess of lactic acid. PATHOLOGY.—Proliferation and altered nutrition of cartilage, arrest of ossifying process in bone, enlargement of junction area between the shaft and epiphysis of long bones, periosteum strips off easily, greater or less amount of sub-periosteal layer, decalcification of bone, medullary portion more vascular, bones fracture easi- ly beads along cartilaginous portions of ribs, craniotabes. Retarded closure of the anterior fontanel, enlargement of the cranium, shape often angular with pro- jecting forehead, curvatures in the long bones, spinal curvatures, changes in the normal curves of the ribs with prominence li, . e St6™"" (so-called pigeon breast), pelvic deformities, spleen often enlarged flabby muscles, emaciation, reconstructive processes gradual. 305 SYMPTOMS.—Digestive disturbances ac- company or precede rachitis, if developed after birth; infant fretful, restless, per- spires freely about head and neck during sleep, does not tolerate bed clothes, ten- derness over the surface, a bruit de souf- flet may be heard often over anterior fon- tanel, prominent abdomen, deformities of long bones, delayed dentition, pseudo para- plegia occasionally met with, laryngismus stridulus. COMPLICATIONS.—Principally a liabili- ty to diseases of the lungs, eclampsia. Lung diseases are generally very serious in rickets. PROGNOSIS.—Good for recovery, except In case complications arise; bad for de- formity if case has advanced far. TREATMENT. — Prophylaxis — Hygienic care of the mother during pregnancy, equality in feeding the infant near the standard of mother's milk, keep mother healthy on a mixed nutritious diet, if she is nursing her infant; child must have suitable clothing, diet and hygiene. (See chapter on Infant Management.) GENERAL TREATMENT.—Cod liver oil is of great use in this disease. Phosphorus may be combined with it to advantage in doses of l-125th of a grain to ten minims of the oil. • When digestive disturbances arise the oil may be rubbed into the skin instead of taken by the mouth. Tincture of the chloride of iron is a useful tonic. Cold sponging, to invigorate the nervous system, should be resorted to daily. Gastro-intesti- nal disturbances should be corrected, also other complications as they may arise. SCORBUTUS—INFANT SCURVY. DEFINITION.—Infantile scurvy is a dis- ease of the blood, arising from an insuf- ficient quality of food. The class of in- fants who are prone to this disease are those who have been fed with condense! milk or infant foods, composed principally of grains. 306 SYMPTOMS.—Head sweating. Fretful- uess. Slight elevation of temperature, Ir- ritability of temper and other nervous dis- turbances. Swellings of the limbs, with extreme tenderness and pseudo-paralysis. Gums swollen and bleed easily. Pale and sallow complexion. Vascular changes In the skin and nmcous membranes; petechlae and hemorrhages. Anemia. TREATMENT.-Principal treatment is to correct diet. Give fresh milk, beef juice and fruits (if child is old enough, vege- tables). Orange juice is excellent. Bo- vinlne may be used in this disease with great advantage. Iron tor t he anemia and cod liver oil are serviceable. Fresh air and good hygiene. SCROFULOSIS, EEFINTTION.—A diathetic, inflamma- tory disease of peculiar type, affecting the skin, mucous membrane, lymphatic sys- tem, boi.es and joints. Lesions are par- ticularly prone to follow slight injuries. The presence of tubercule bacilli occur in some forms, as a concomitant of retrograde changes In the tissues. ETIC LOGY.—Heredity, from scrofula, phythisis, syphilis, cousanquinity, youth or advanced age, and rapid child-bearing in parents. Acquired by insufficient and im- proper food, bad hygiene and infection through tuberculous milk (?) or possibly vaccin-tion (?). This disease is essentially due to lymphatic stasis. The stasis being dependent on various causes. PATHOLOCY.—Enlargement of lym- phatic glands, which undergo caseous de- generation, soften and break down. Giant cells and tubercular baci.li often abound in 4hese. Impetigo and secondary en- largement of lymph glands are generally non-tubercular. SYMPTOMS-Skin Affectlons.-Eczema lltchen, lupus, cold abscess and scrofulo- derma. OPHTHALMIC.-Phlyctenular ophthal- mia, tinea tarsi, corneal u^ers, styes. 307 AURAL.—Otorrhea, often secondary to exanthematous diseases; more or less tem- porary deafness. MUCOUS MEMBRANES. — Catarrhs, chronic tonsillar enlargement; vaginitis, catarrhal vulvitis. BONE AFFECTIONS.—Spinal caries, joint affections, caries of long boues, na- sal bones and petrous portion of temporal bones; dactylitis of phalanges. GLANDULAR AFFECTIONS.—Enlarge- ment and suppuration of lymphatic glands, apt to follow dentition or the exanthema. One of the earliest symptoms, and oue not generally recognized, is the indisposition of the patient to eat fatty food. TREATMENT.—Best of hygiene required, regulated diet, milk in abundance, seaside residence, warm clothing, daily morning bath in salt water. Cod liver oil and the hypophosphates, especially of lime, hold first place among medicines (the hypo- phosphates when chemically pure convey in the blood oxidizable phosphorus, which builds up the tissues by its faculty of ab- sorbing oxygen for the tissue-building ele- ments.); iodine, (1) syrup of hydriodic acid, iodide of potash, topically and in- ternally in enlarged glandular affections; arsenic. LOCAL MEASURES.—Skin affections must not be allowed to become chronic; io- dine ointments, ung. plumbi iodidi; inter- nally much benefit will be derived from Barclay's formula of the bromide of gold and arsenic in these skin affections. (This formula is sold under the name of "Ar- senauro.") (2.) GLANDULAR AFFECTIONS.—Enlarged glands may be painted with iodine tinc- ture. Tonsillitis of chronic type is bene- fited by painting the tonsils every other 1. The credit of the first successful and best Syrup of Hydriodic Acid should be given to the eminent chemist, R. W. Gardner, of New York. 2. Arsenauro and Mercauro are put up only by the Charles Roome Parmele Co. 308 day with a comp. tinct. Iodine one-third to two-thirds glycerine mixture. When pus is evident the abscess should be freely opened and washed out with 25 to 50 per cent. mixture of hydrozone (•'.) In pure water, and free drainage established. CRETINISM.-MYXEDEMA OF CHILD- HOOD. DEFINITION.—An endemic, chronio dis- ease, having intimate but obscure relation to disease or absence of the thyroid gland. Is characterized by mental and moral tor- por, peculiar malformations of the head and body, and arrest of growth in cer- tain bones. ETIOLOGY.—Obscure; climatic causes (7). SYMPTOMS. -These are generally not apparent before the sixth month of life; general weakness; body fat and puffed out; skin brownish or ashy hue: head large; fontanelles and sutures widely open; eyes languid; appetite voracious; child sleepy and apathetic; lips tld"k and swollen; nose short and broad; child sel- dom cries; belly tumid; neck thick and short; thyroid gland sometimes enlarged and sometimes absent; general growth slow; dentition delayed, often attended with convulsions; child walks and talks very late, often not until the sixth year; height rarely exceeds 4 feet 10 inches often does not attain over 3 feet; puberty late or absent altogether. TREATMENT.-Prophylaxis - Mothers who have borne cretins should change climate and location to healthier places In subsequent pregnancies; treat promptly every case of goitre. GENERAL—Proper hygienic surround- ings; good food; cod liver oil and Iron- plenty of exercise; much benefit has re- cently been reported from the Injection of thyroid extract in cretinism 3. Hydrozone is a double strength (28 volume) per- oxide of hydrogen far superior to the latter as a pus destroyer, and made only bv Mr. Charles Marchand. of New York 309 ACUTE DISEASES OF THE RESPI- RATORY TRACT. ACUTE CORYZA. DEFINITION.—An acute inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nasal cavi- ties, producing in infants considerable general disturbance with more or less fever. ETIOLOGY.—Chilling the surface of the body; wetting the feet; insufficient clothing or protection from atmospheric changes; pyphilis; zymotic diseases; gas- tric tnd intestinal irritation from indi- gestion; foreign bodies ip the nasal pas- sages. SYMPTOMS.—Sneezing; more or less fever; congestion of the conjunctivae; watery discharge from the nostrils; more or less obstruction to nasal respiration; slight cough and gagging; sometimes vo- miting, which indicates extension to the naso-pharynx; tinnitus aurium; earache when Eustachian tubes become involved. TREATMENT.—First remove cause; co- cainize the parts and examine the nasal passages thoroughly, especially for foreign particles. Treat the fever if excessive. Keep child warm and free from exposure. Treat any constitutional disease that may cause coryza. The Carl Seller formula may be used with advantage in older chil- dren. Powders of great astringent power should not be used in children as local applications. In adults and older children a snuff of 6 grains hydrochlorate of cocain, half a drachm of subcarbonate of bis- muth and a drachm and a half of French chalk is an excellent application. If coryza be a symptom of a zymotic dis- ease simple cleaning of the mucous mem- brane will be all that is necessary, and for this purpose as well as for destroying any bacteria, a teaspoonful of hydrozone or two of the medicinal peroxide of hydro- gen to a tumblerful of warm water is an ef- ficient application. This may be used as a spray or with a swab as the case may 310 require. Hydrozone Is superior to the ordinary peroxide of hydrogen, as it goes farther and is much more constant in strength. BRONCHITIS IN CHILDREN. This disease does not differ in its patho- logical relations from the same disease in adults except for the Increased clangers and exaggerated symptoms due to the size of the iiiuuetilal tubes In children, and their winker powers of resistance when very young. ETIOLOGY.—The exanthemata, influenza, pertussis, typhoid fever, rickets, syphilis, debility, putrid feces in the gastro-iutos- tli.ul tract, causing irritation, by imlgratlon of the bacillus coll communis, to the bronchi; inhalation of irritants, chilling of surface of the body, atmospheric irri- tuuts, heart lesions. SYMPTOMS.—Coryza, skin hot and dry, temperature elevated, pulse accelerated, a dry, paroxysmal cough at first, with much uneasiness, no expectoration; (children un- der five years of age always swallow In place of expectorating); diarrhoea, often caused by the Irritating action of the muco-pus swallowed. These symptoms may become rapidly aggravated when the dis- ease extends Into a capillary bronchitis and to a broncho-pneumonia. PHYSICAL SICNS.-InspectIon, fre- quency Iu respiration, although not pain- ful. Percussion, normal resonance. Auscul- tation, every kind of rale may be heard, except the crepitant, which Is only heard In pneumonia; generally the loud, moist rales Palpation; the vibrations caused by the rales may be felt. PATITOI.OOY.-As in adults, redness of the mucous membrane with tumefaction. a discharge of mucus, which later on be- comes mnc o-pus from the bronchial glands; epithelial cells, pus oells and other detri- tus are also found. 311 TREATMENT.—Place child In a com- fortable, well-ventilated room, give a gentle calomel purge (even though diarrhoea may be present); stimulate the glandular system by a ten-drop dose of turpentine on a lump of sugar; envelop the chest wlhh a flannel, wrung out in warm water, on which a few drops of turpentine have been placed; cr, rub camphorated oil over the chest in mild cases, reduce the tem- perature, If excessive, with one-grain doses of acetanilide; an emetic should oc- casionally be given to free the stomach from swallowed mucus; stimulation at the proper time is necessary; keep patient free from undue restlessness. BRONCHO-PNEUMONIA. DEFINITION.—An inflammatory disease of the bronchial tubes, in which the smaller bronchi have become affected and the inflammatory process has extended to the surrounding interstitial tissue; a bron- chitis with circumscribed spots of pneu- monia. ETIOLOGY.—Always an extension of a primary bronchitis. SYMPTOMS. — Previous symptoms' of bronchitis which become exaggerated; dys- pnea; short, painful and hacking cough; Increased frequency of respiration; anxious expression; pulse very rapid (often the pulse will become 200 and the respiration 80 per minute); child becomes very weak; tongue Is coated, may become dry; anor- exia and thirst; stupor alternating with delirium. Physical signs: Dullness over the circumscribed spots of pneumonia, which is difficult to find unless the pneu- monia is somewhat extensive; moist rales; subcrepitant rales; apex of lung rarely Involved. PATHOLOGY.—In addition to the mor- bid conditions mentioned under "Bron- chitis," there often occurs, as the disease advances, a condition of atelectasis, the cutting off of a portion of lung from its Bupply of air by the plugging of one or more bronchioles, and the collapse of the 312 «nn« S?in80,affefted: inflammatory condi- tions will also be met in the connective tissue surrounding these bronchioles. ^/KpGNOSIS.-Depends on the severity of the case; should always be guarded- frequent pulse and rapid respiration does less imP y that the (;ase ls hope" lnT?Fw.1™EN'1\_C1ilhl shou,d be dre8sed Lon?i«^,m canton flannel nightdress and Kept in the same until the severity of the fnrea0Sat1S °/eY unless necessary to change for sake of cleanliness. Next, direct that an eiderdown flannel chest protector be made and worn throughout the disease Poultices are apt to do harm in th s dls- t«se- Counter-irritants should be confined to mild turpentine stupes, but generally the protector will be sufficient. The blneflt of an emetic when the tubes seem clogged with mucus is almost magical; wine of ipecac is as good as any, and series also the purpose of stimulating thew\terv IteDtS in Jhe secretions of the mucous fLwdS+'v,Whlch is desirable.

ETIOLOGY.—It is now believed that tht« disease has a specific germ for its cause and that this germ, probably a dinlococcus' Is infectious. Exposure to cold and 3' den atmospheric changes may be an ex" citing cause. The germ theory of this dis ease is to be very much doubted 313 SYMPTOMS.—In children vomiting or convulsions may take the place of the chill of the adult. Sometimes active de- lirium, general hyperesthesia or stupor may be present. Pain, if complained of, Is usually referred to the epigastrium. Temperature is elevated. Pulse acceler- ated. Cough dry, hacking and suppressed on account of pain. Rusty sputa, if any, which is generally swallowed, and may appear in the vomited matter. It is not un- common to find no bloodly sputa what- ever. Some cyanosis may be present. Physical Signs—Inspection: Rapid breath- ing; dilation of the alae nasi; somewhat painful expression of the face; lagging of respiration on affected • side. Palpa- tion: Vocal fremitus increased. Ausculta- tation: Crepitant rale generally absent in children under 3 years of age; bronchial respiration; moist rales and bronchophony. Percussion: Dullness or oftener a sense of greater resistance over the affected area. The physical signs may not appear for from two to five days. PATHOLOGY.—The three stages of con- gestion, red and gray hepitization appear as in the adult, but may coexist. Multilocular abscesses may take the place of resolution. Microscopically the same appearances are observed as in the adult. PROGNOSIS.—Grave in children under 3 years. Good in children over 5 years old. TREATMENT.—The indications for treat- ment are the promotion of diuresis, dia- phoresis, which are well accomplished by spts etheris nitrosi; the promotion of alka- linity of the blood, as shown by the urine, with acetate of potassium, thus lessening the fibrin in the blood and tendency to coagulation; gentle and diffuse stimulation of the nerve centres favoring sleep and preventing spasm, which may be obtained by the liquor ammonii acetatis with cam- phor water. Other drugs may be used to obtain the same end, but the majority of cases will bear this line of treatment well. Stimulation of the heart is neces- sary when the right side becomes engorged trying to force blood through a consoli- dated lung, but, in the opinion of the writer, the stimulation should come in the shape of relieving the engorgement by dilation of the venous capillaries, rather than by trying to force the blood through 314 the lung by increasing the action of the heart. Therefore, nitro-glycerine, bella- donna and alcohol are better adapted for heart stimulants thin digitalis in croupous pneumonia. A hot application to the chest during the stage of congestion by means of a sheet wrung out in warm water and applied about the thorax serves to ease the paiu and tightness. Purgation in pneu- monia should be avoided. No expectorants are needed other than water. Hyperpy- rexias may be treated in the early stages by aconite and veratrum viride. The cold bath is lauded by some, while others pre- fer the wet sheet. Cerebral symptoms are well treated by warm mustard baths, if convulsive, or the bromides and chloral. Tonic after treatment is required. ACUTE DISEASES OP DIGESTIVE TRACT. STOMATITIS. DEFINITION. — Catarrhal inflammation of the mucous membrane of the buccal cavity. May be simple, ulcerous or fol- licular. ETIOLOGY.—Indigestible or irritating food. Uncleanliness. Anything which im- pairs the general health. Dentition, meas- les and scarlet fever. SYMPTOMS.—Redness and more or less thickening of the mucous membrane, with rapid proliferation of epithelial cells; secre- tions augmented; tongue coated. In ulcer- ous variety there are white points of ulcer- ation, which tend to enlarge and are pain- ful. In follicular variety the inflammation is confined to the follicles, and may ap- pear as white points with a red border. but does not ulcerate. TREATMENT.-Removal of the cause, if it can be found. Establish good hygienic conditions. Cleanse the mouth with a dilution of hydrozone in water. AnDlv borax and honey or glycerine locally In ^"f0.118 or aphthous varieties, use Chlorate of potassium locally and inter- naiiy. Trquseau recommends nitrate of silver paintings. Favorable results will be obtained by the use of hydrozone or medicinal peroxide of hydrogen in water 315 properly diluted and given internally as a drink, ad libitum. THRUSH. DEFINITION.—An inflammation of the mucous membrane of the buccal cavity, with the presence of curd-like patches on the inflamed surface, which may extend downward along the digestive tract. ETIOLOGY.—Due to a fungus growth in the mouth. SYMPTOMS.—Painful burning in the mouth: diarrhea; sometimes pain in abdo- men; stools green, fluid and acid; anus red and excoriated; fever; inflamed surface hot, red and tender, deficient in natural secretion. PROGNOSIS.—Thrush with gastro-enter- ltis is generally fatal. If mild, prognosis is good. TREATMENT.—Cleanse with a dilute preparation of hydrozone in water, then apply borax and glycerine. Often thrush is of less importance than the disease which it complicates. NOMA. DEFINITION.—Gangrenous sore mouth; begins on inside of cheek over a hard spot which has previously developed; the mu- cous membrane is red and discolored, blackens and disintegrates; gums are de- stroyed, teeth fall out, and whole side of face may slough in five or six- days. SYMPTOMS.—Edema of cheek; bloody saliva; small and frequent pulse; delirium; thirst; diarrhea PROGNOSIS.—Recovery rare; if so, dis- figurement is great. TREATMENT—Tonics; wine and Iron; actual cautery; cupric sulphate locally. Palliative applications may be used when case is hopeless. Hydrozone to cleanse the mouth and ulceration may be used full strength. 316 PAROTITIS. DEFINITION—Mumps Is an inflamma corv swelling of the parotid gland. It may be idiopathic or symptomatic. ETIOLOGY.—Mumps may be due to a specific cause, which seems to be infec- tious and mildly contagious, or it may be due to a metastasis ocjurring in various diseases. In the latter case it generally produces suppuration of the gland. SYMPTOMS.—In the idiopathic form there is fever for a few days; swelling under the ear on one side, which some- times extends to the opposite side in a few days; pain from tension, and dif- ficulty in swallowing. In older persons there may be metastatic Inflammation of testicles or ovaries. Meningitis sometimes occurs. In the symptomatic form there Is usually chill and exacerbation of fever. Suppuration takes place, the abscess point- ing outwardly, or. more commonly, into the mouth or pharynx. On opening the abscess there Is evacuated discolored pus with shreds of broken-down tissue. TREATMENT.—In the idiopathic form little treatment is required beyond keeping the bowels open, feeding with liquid diet and protecting the patient from exposure to cold. In the symptomatic form, if sup- puration threatens, poultice, and when fluctuation is evident open the abscess. TONSILLITIS. DEFINITION.—An acute or chronic in- flammation of the tonsils. ETIOLOGY.—Simple tonsillitis is due U exposure to cold or wet. The same caused are marked in this disease as produce rheumatism. Just what the factor Is be- yond exposure has not been accurately de- termined. Chronic tonsillitis is caused by a primary acute attack, but the diathetic diseases have an important bearing on the production of the chronic form. SYMPTOMS.—Chill; high fever; frequent pulse; throat sore, red and inflamed; pain in tonsil; difficulty in opening the mouth; headache; tumefaction of tonsil; if both tonsils are affected at the same time the swelling may extend so as to close the 317 passages, when symptoms of asphyxia may occur. PATHOLOGY.—There is inflammation of the interstitial connective tissue with pro- liferation. If resolution takes place the tonsil does not return quite to its normal size. Repeated attacks gradually enlarge the tonsils. Suppuration may occur. TREATMENT.—During an acute attack there is nothing better than a dose of Dover's powder, after which the mouth should be rinsed with a dilution of hydro- zone in water, and a mixture of ammon- iated tincture of guaiac, chlorate of potas- sium, glycerine and water be used as a gargle every hour. Cold applications to the throat outside are of service. Aconite may be used to reduce the fever. If fluc- tuation or pointing occur much relief will be obtained by lancing the abscess, care being taken not to wound the carotid ar- tery. Chronic forms of tonsillitis are rapid- ly benefited by painting the tonsil every other day with a mixture of one-^nird compound tincture of iodine to two-thirds glycerine. Nitrate of silver is much used in the chronic forms to reduce the size of the tonsils. Tonics are necessary in most Instances after recovery. DYSPEPSIA. DEFINITION.—A condition which is principally manifested by vomiting of in- gested food or milk, which may be sour- smelling and curdled, but without inflam- matory significance. ETIOLOGY.—Dyspepsia is generally the result of an incorrect diet, over-feeding or carelessness in preparation of the food for Infants. The regurgitation of milk in healthy infants is not to be considered dyspepsia, but more a natural process of disposing of excess of milk. Indigestion is most common in those infants who are bottle-fed, and those who are brought up on undiluted acid cow's milk or infant foods. SYMPTOMS. — Fretfulness; vomiting; wasting of the tissues; constipation or diarrhea; stools unhealthy; increased se- cretion of mucus; acid breath; sour-smell- ing ejecta; fetid stool; flatulence; colicky pains; gastralgia. 318 PROGNOSIS.—Good, If not due to or- ganic disease. TREATMENT.—Regulate diet; clear out digestive tract with castor oil or rhubarb. Lavage of the stomach is of great benefit. Limewater should be used In feeding. (Reader is referred to chapter on infant diet for modes of feeding). Occasionally it will be found necessary to resort to di- gestive ferments to aid digestion. Equal parts bismuth and pepsin suspended in cinnamon water will be found an agreeable form to administer these beneficial drugs. Dilute hydrochloric acid may also benefit some cases. CONSTIPATION. DEFINITION—A delayed expulsion of fecal mater; a retention of Intestinal ex- crementitious substances beyond the nor- mal limit of time. ETIOLOGY.—In young children, who are nursing, constipation of the mother is a fruitful cause for constipation in the child. There may be too much casein and starch, and too little sugar, in the mother's milk. In others, the milk is so perfectly digested that but little residue remains and consti- pation is the result. Sluggish condition of the muscular coats of the intestines. Artificial feeds and condensed milk, though generally giving rise to diarrhea, may produce constipation. Rice, arrow root, boiled milk and tea will produce con stipation. , Impaction of feces; deficient Intestinal secretion and bile; excessive per- spiration; opiates; hernia; obstructions; chronic wasting disease. SYMPTOMS.-A single evacuation a day, with straining and hard fecal lumps in a nursing infant, are signs of constipation. Loss of appetite, furred tongue and of- fensive breath; colicky pains; increased volume and resonance of the abdomen. TREATMENT.-Avoid medicines as much as possible and attend to the diet In nursing infants the milk should be analyzed ««» «TOr *,,p «an8e- 0ften with the cut- ting of the teeth constipation no longer is Si^w h°f ann°Fanf>e. Small enemata are best borne once or twice a day but large enemata should be avoided. Massage 319 of the abdomen, with a circular movement from right to left, is beneficial. Occasion- ally small doses of nux vomica will prove of benefit when constipation is due to sluggishness of the muscular coats of the intestines. In somewhat older children, who have been weaned, oatmeal and fari- naceous diet is excellent, avoiding the starches. Among the drugs, calomel stands first when given in small doses; it is al- ways well borne except in the strumous. For flatus magnesia and asafoetida are well recommended. Ipecac in one-grain doses has been favorably mentioned in constipa- tion. In the strumous, cod-liver oil and syrup of iodide of iron, syrup hydriodic acid, syrup of hypophcsphate of lime, bo- vinine and tonics are necessary. INFANTILE DIARRHEA. As the scope of this work is too limited to consider the numerous forms of diarrhea in infants in detail, those touched upon here will be confined to the forms which commonly occur in practice among a large percentage of children, and leave for perusal in larger works the interesting sub- divisions of the subject. ACUTE MYCOTIC DIARRHEA. DEFINITION.—A gastro-intestinal ca- tarrh of infectious or bacterial origin, formerly called "summer diarrhea." Two forms are here included—acute dyspeptio diarrhea and cholera infantum. It is to be considered in the first place as an acute fermentation or decomposition leading up to an inflammatory condition of the In- testinal tract. ETIOLOGY.—Age, first two years. Pov- erty and want of care; constitutional de- bility; dentition; diet and feeding; foreign bodies; exposure to cold; weaning, espe- cially if sudden and in summer; bacteria; summer heat. SYMPTOMS.—Of the two forms here considered, the first is generally a precur- sor to the second, unless checked before that stage is reached. It begins by a mild diarrhea, with little or no vomiting; the child is fretful and peevish; has no 320 appetite, but considerable thirst, which becomes greater as the disease becomes aggravated. Stools are yellow or green; contain masses of undigested fats, casein and curds, some mucus, and are much thinner than normal. The tongue is coated and mouth may become the seat of stoma- titis. If the disease run a week or two, there is loss of weight and flesh. In cases which develop suddenly the clinical history Is different. The attack begins abruptly; there Is vomiting, hot and dry skin; diarrhea, with much flatus; stools thin and watery; colicky pain; fetid odor; prostra- tion of temporary duration. Proper treat- ment right in this stage generally estab- lishes a cure, which goes as a so-called cure of "cholera infantum." These symp- toms can generally be traced to incorrect diet and obviated by care and removed by removing the cause. The second form, or true cholera infantum, generally super- venes upon a previous diarrhea; never oc- curs in properly breast-fed children, and the exciting cause is almost always to be found in the food which has been given. The symptoms are always sudden, the child having had a mild diarrhea prevlouslv Is seized with acute exacerbation of ail symptoms sufficient to carry off the pa- tient in a few hours. Vomiting is incessant; purging also, the stools being large and watery. Prostration is extreme; the fon- tanel is depressed; the facial features are sunken; in the later stages stupor, relaxa- tion, coma or convulsions and death may ensue. Temperature is elevated—in recover- ing cases, 102-103; in fatal cases. 105 or more. Pulse rapid—150 to 200-soon be- coming weak and almost imperceptible. Respiration irregular and frequent. Thirst is extreme The collapse stage resembles that of Asiatic cholera. »^>^I^°vOGy-7"]?J'spePtic stinate cases, and chloral enema with bro- mides. Same treatment for laryngismus stridulus.

Poisons in this class have, besides a local irritation, a specific action on cer- tain other parts of the organism, as aconite,; which benumbs sensation and tends to paralysis; or cantharidis, which effects the kidneys, causing strangury eto. ACONITE—Symptoms: Eurning sensa- tion in the throat and stomach; nausea: vomiting; purging; intestinal pains; numb- ness and tingling of the muscles; paralysis; great depression; prostration; end in gen- eral collapse; sometimes convulsions and stupor. Treatment: Stomach-pump or emetics; stimulants (by rectum or hypo- dermatically); frictions; warmth; tincture digitalis (m. xv) hypodermatically, and re- peat if necessary, etc. OANTIHARIDIS.—Symptoms: Those of irritant poisoning (gastro-enterio symp- toms); irritant action on kidneys (Strang- 460 ury and bloody urine); delirium; convuls- ions. Treatment: Emetics, mucilaginous drinks (not oily); morphine; stimulants. CARBOLIC ACID.—Symptoms. A burn- ing feeling in throat, etc.; whitening of the mucous membrane of the throat and stom- ach; intense depression; feeble pulse; cold and clammy skin; insensibility; stupor; death from heart or respiratory failure. Treatment: White of egg; sulphate of soda or sulphate of magnesia; milk; flour and water, etc.; apomorphine hypoder- matically; stimulants by enema; ammonia or brandy hypodermatically; warmth and frictions; atropine and artificial respiration if breathing fail, etc. PHOSPHORUS.—Symptoms: Heat and swelling of throat and tongue; pain and distention of the abdomen; vomiting mu- cous or bilious; purging; anxiety; restless- ness; cramps; convulsions; stupor; general collapse; jaundice may develop. Treat- ment: Surphate of copper (gr. iii) in a tum- bler of water every five minutes to produce vomiting; sulphate of magnesia (carries off poison by its cathartic action); mucilagin- ous (not oily) drinks; opiates; stimulants; cataplasms. (The sulphate of copper is only given once, with opium to promote Its retention, when vomiting has already taJien place). III. POISONS WHICH ACT ON THE NERVOPS SYSTEM. These have little or no action on the ali- mentary canal. In this class are included opium, prussio acid, belladonna, hyoscya- mus (causes intense stupor), hemlock, to- bacco, hellebore, chloral, digitalis, strych- nine, eto. OPIUM.—Symptoms: Drowsiness; stu- por; death from respiratory failure. At first we have the following symptoms; face flushed; stertorous breathing; full and slow pulse; profound stupor, etc. The pupils are contracted: later, pulse becomes weaker, small, and imperceptible; dimin- ished frequency of respiration; face pale; skin cold and clammy; extremities cold, etc. Treatment: Rouse patient with the cold douche: give emetics (apomorphine hypoder- matically); stomach-pump; strong coffee; atropine; artificial respiration, etc. 461 PRUSSIC ACID.—(Cyanide of potassium). Symptoms: The muscular system becomes paralyzed. Treatment: Ammonia to the nostrils; cold douche; artificial respiration; frictions, etc. Paralysis of the heart and respiration, causes death very rapidly. When Bitter Almond Oil is taken, give emetics and stimulants. (The oil is not so rapid in its action). BELLADONNA—Symptoms: Constric- tion and dryness of throat; pain (burning) in stomach; dimness of vision; dilated pu- pils; rapid breathing; headache; delirium; stupor; feeble pulse; diminished respira- tion; cold extremities; occasionally a scar- let rash on skin. Treatment: Tannin; stomach-pump; emetics; coffee; mustard and friction to extremities. HTOSCYAMUS.—(See Belladonna). HEMLOCK.—Symptoms: Extreme mus- cular prostration; paralysis of respiration; death; no delirium or coma. Treatment: Tannin (green tea); stomach-pump or emet- ics; frictions; stimulants; atropine; artifi- cial respiration. TOBACCO.—Symptoms: Confusion- of ideas; dizziness; faintness; nausea; vomit- ing; intense (muscular) prostration; fatal collapse, with or without stupor. Treat- ment: Tannin; stomach-pump; warmth; stimulants; frictions; strychnine (hypoder- matically). HELLEBORE—Symptoms: Acts as a depressant of heart's action; intense pros- tration; pulse imperceptible; skin cold and clammy; nausea; attempts at vomiting; faintness; collapse (fatal). Treatment: Tannin (green tea); stomach-pump or emet- ics; morphine; stimulants; ammonia; fric- tions; digitalis. CHLORAL.—Symptoms: Gastric irrita- tion; nausea; vomiting; profound narcot- ism; weak pulse, etc. It arrests the respir- atory function, and also depresses the heart. Treatment: (See Opium poisoning). Give hypodermatically sulphate of strych- nine (gr. 1-25), if death from heart failure seems impending. 462 DIGITALIS—Symptoms: Nausea; vomit- ing; great prostration; cold sweats; feeble or imperceptible pulse; stupor or delirium; death from syncope caused by spasm of the heart. The heart is arrested in systole. Treatment: Tannin (green tea); emetics; cathartios; keep patient in the horizontal position; opium; solution chloride of iron; nitrite of amyl; nitro-glycerine; aconite; stimulants; etc. (The tr. aconite can be given subcutaneously, one or two minims at & time). STRYCHNINE.—Symptoms: During a convulsion, the features are contorted; body bent rigidly backward; breathing Impeded or stopped; tetanus; etc. The con- vulsions last from one to five minutes, with intervals of relaxation (may last half an hour). Asphyxia, during a convulsion etc. causes death. Treatment: Tannin at first; emetics; stomaoh-pump; tea and cof- fee; ether or chloroform inhalations; bro- mide of potassium (dr. ii); chloral (gr. x) to control spasms; nitrite of amyl; artificial respiration. IV. THE STRONG ACIDS. These poisons destroy the tissues with which they come in contact. When dilut- ed, they cause inflammation; when undi- luted, they corrode or char. Symptoms: Mucous membrane of mouth is whitened, blackened, softened, or detached in parts; intense thirst; burning and agonizing pain; nausea; vomiting of parts of the mucous membrane and matters mixed with dark- ened blood; great exhaustion; rapid and weak pulse; cold and clammy skin; death by collapse. Treatment: The stomach- pump should not be used, and emetics must be used cautiously, as the violent contrac- tions of emesis are very severe. Give mag- nesia; chalk; whiting; washing or baking soda; soap and water, etc. Relieve the in- tense suffering (morphine hypodermatic- ally); injections of whiskey, or brandy; friction; warmth. V. THE ALKALIES. (See Acids for symptoms, etc.). Treat- ment: If potash, soda, ammonia, etc., has been taken, give acids to neutralize its ac- tion (vinegar, aromatic sulphuric acid, lemon juice, etc.). Subsequent treatment 463 consists in the administration of mucilag- inous drinks (gruel, acacia water, linseed tea, etc.), the whites of a couple of eggs, in water, milk, etc. VI. POISONING BY ARTICLES OF FOOD. Various kinds of meat, sausage, fruits, shell-fish, cheese, etc. Symptoms: Nausea; vomiting; violent cramps; diarrhea; pain; great depression of vital powers, eto. In mushroom poisoning, symptoms of narcot- ism may be present. Treatment: Emetics; oathartics; stimulants for the depression, etc. GENERAL. TREATMENT OF POI- SONING. 1. Eliminate the Poison from the stom- ach, etc. Emetics: Sulphate of zinc (gr. x-xxx); mustard (dr. ii) in a glass of warm water; ipecacuanha (gr. xx-xxx); tartar emetic (gr. i-ii); sulphate of copper (gr. li-v), is irritant and may increase the poisonous effect; hydrochlorate of apomor- phine (gr. 1-10) hypodermatically. Stomach- pump. 2. Prevent the absorption of the poison. This is done by giving a chemical antidote which combines with the poison in the stomach, forming a substance which is in- soluble or inert. In treating poisoning by vegetable substances, give patient a pint of water containing tannin (gr. x-xx); or an infusion of green tea, particularly when stomach-pump or emetics are not at hand. In case where the poisoning is by salts or oxides (arsenic and antimony excepted) of the metals, give patient the whites of two or three eggs in water to swallow; albumen forms insoluble compounds with most of these poisons. When the poison is known, the chemical antidote can be readily given: as, for example, sugar of lead or carbolic acid are rendered inert by the use of a soluble substance like Glaubers' or Epsom salt, etc. The anti- dotal measures are, therefore, chemical and physiological. 3. Relieve the suffering of patient. For the burning pain in the stomach and bowels, give cooling, bland, and protective liquids (olive oil) linseed tea, mucilage of acacia, barley-water, gruels, etc.); allay the thirst (ice or ice-water); apply mustard to pit of stomach, or emollient poultices over the abdomen; give opium (mouth, enema, or subcutaneously), etc. GENERAL ANTIDOTE. (1045) B—Calcined magnesia, Powdered charcoal, aa gr. xl-dr. j. Hydrated sesquioxide of iron, oz. i-11. Water, q. s. M. S. As a general antidote, where the nature of the poison is unknown.
