IN GENERAL DEBILITY

following acute diseases, where the functions
of the organism are in a state of depression,
and in all cases where there is a diminution
of the red blood cells and amount of hemo-
globin, PEPTO-MANGAN (GUDE) produces
speedy relief, because it overcomes the derange-
ment in metabolic balance, restores the ery-
throcytes to their normal power and stimulates
the hematopoietic organs. The tissues take
up the oxygen yielded by the hemoglobin, and
the patient gains strength and weight.

Cancer of the Stomach

with its accompanying nausea and vomiting responds usually within a week to the

PROTONUCLEIN

treatment and after these symptoms have disappeared there is an increase of appetite.

In fact every case of cancer, especially those of a carcinomatous type should be put at once on PROTONUCLEIN, for it strengthens them if an operation is decided on later, and seems actually to prevent further invasion of the glands.

If given after an operation it builds up and shortens the time of convalescence.

SHORT NOTES ON THE TREATMENT OF COMMON DEFORMITIES RESULTING FROM DISEASE.

BY A. MACKENZIE FORBES.

Surgeon to the Children's Memorial Hospital, and Demonstrator of Orthopedic Surgery, McGill University, Montreal

THE Commonest deformities resulting from disease as opposed to deformities resulting from conditions preceding birth or violence after birth, may be classified as those due to tuberculous disease, to paralysis, to posture and to rickets. Each of these will be discussed separately.

As it is not the purpose of this paper to discuss the etiology, pathology, or treatment of these diseases causing deformities, I shall confine myself to a simple narration of how these deformities may be treated after their development.

DEFORMITIES DUE TO TUBERCULOUS DISEASE.

Tuberculosis is the most common of all the causes of deformity seen in this country, and as such demands our particular attention.

The commonest deformities resulting from tuberculosis may be divided into those of the spine, hip, knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow and wrist.

Speaking generally, the treatment of tuberculosis of any form. is by rest, fresh air, and good food.

Deformities of the Spine.-The common deformities of the spine, due to tuberculous disease, are kyphosis and scoliosis. The
