ach after eating and after a period passed to the heart. All kinds of heart tonics had been prescribed. He had been compelled to give up business, and was living in constant dread of collapse at any moment. I prescribed for him one tablet of Kal-Natrol dissolved in a tumbler of water before breakfast to improve his digestion, and to strengthen and regulate the heart's action I gave him a supply of Anasarcin Tablets, one to be taken three times a day. In three weeks he came into my office with the exclamation, "Doctor, I am as sound as a dollar; feel my pulse." His pulse was 70, and strong.-Abstract from a report sent us by the Anasarcin Co., of Winchester, Tenn. See their adv. on page 23.

"La Grippe.-The predisposing causes of this disease are few. Young adults and old persons are most susceptible to attacks, because the former needlessly expose themselves and the latter, from the wasted condition of their organs, have less power to resist the subtle and progressiv advances of the disease. Its initial manifestations are generally limited to the mucous membranes of the respiratory passages and nervous system, and here it is that Daniel's Conct. Tinct. Passiflora Incarnata may be employed with a certainty of beneficial results. Being a sedativ and tonic, it controls and relieves muscular and nervous exhaustion; brings the patient into a composed and healthful state of convalescence and leaves the heart strong and the nervous system normalized."

I am thoroughly satisfied with the results I obtain from the use of Peacock's Bromides. I prescribe it with much confidence, and while I have seen others, said to be "just as good," I do not tolerate them, but consider this a splendid recommendation for the preparation.

Braymer, Mo. H. A. SCHRAEDER, M.D.

During this winter season physicians should be well prepared for troubles of the respiratory tract. These troubles are numerous and often of very serious consequence. In this connection a careful study of Glyco-Heroin (Smith) will amply repay you. See the advertisement on page 2 and send for samples and literature.

Many cases will be cured by sending to a competently conducted sanitarium in a proper climate, that could not be cured in any other way. Turn to page 10 and see the advertisement of The Pineshire at that well-known health resort, Southern Pines, N. C.

By all means send a 2 cent stamp for the "Manual of Physiological Cell Medication" mentioned on advertising page 5. Dr. Aulde is a scientist who has made a careful study of this important and interesting subject; it merely remains for the practising physicians all over the world to make practical application in their every-day practise of what the laboratory has shown to Dr. Aulde. You will be interested in the article on advertising page 5.

Language is a growth rather than a creation. The growth of our vocabulary is seen in the vast increase in the size of our dictionaries during the past century. This growth is not only in amount, but among other elements of growth the written forms of words are becoming simpler and more uniform. For example, compare Eng lish spelling of a centnry or two centuries ago with that of to-day! It is our duty to encourage and advance the movement toward simple, uniform and rational spelling. See the recommendations of the Philological Society of London, and of the American Philo. logical Association, and list of amended spellings, publisht in the Century Dictionary (following the letter z) and also in the Standard Dictionary, Webster's Dictionary, and other authoritativ works on language. The tendency is to drop silent letters in some of the most flagrant instances, as ugh from though, etc., change ed to t in most places where so pronounced (where it does not affect the preceding sound), etc.

The National Educational Association, consisting of ten thousand teachers, recommends the following:

"At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the National Educational Association held in Washington, D. C., July 7, 1898, the action of the Department of Superintendence was approved, and the list of words with simplified spelling adopted for use in all publications of the National Educational Association as follows:

[blocks in formation]

securing the general adoption of the suggested amendments IRVING SHEPARD, Secretary."

We feel it a duty to recognize the above tendency, and to adopt it in a reasonable degree. We are also disposed to add enuf (enough) to the above list, and to conservativly adopt the following rule recommended by the American Philological Association: Drop final "e" in such words as "definite," "infinite," "favorite," etc., when the preceding vowel is short. Thus, spell opposit,' 'preterit," "hypocrit," "requisit," etc. When the preceding vowel is long, as in "polite," "finite," unite," etc., retain present forms unchanged.

We simply wish to do our duty in aiding to simplify and rationalize our universal instrument- language.

Primary Peritonitis.

"' and

The former classification of "primary "secondary" peritonitis has been almost forgotten in the belief that every peritonitis is the result of infection. The primary peritonitis was declared to be idiopathic or the result of exposure to cold. Many authors of note deny the possibility of such a disease, but if we admit that other serous membranes are affected by exposure to cold, we cannot consistently deny that the peritoneum may be similarly affected. The experience of those who carefully observed the effect on troops serving in various parts of the world, from wearing woolen abdominal bandages, was universal that those so protected were less susceptible to intestinal af fections; and the reason assigned was that the abdomen was shielded from sudden changes in temperature; or in other words, from undue extremes of heat and cold. While we admit theextension of inflammation" without the probability of bacterial invasion, we believe the assertion of Tyson that "Primary peritonitis is a disease of such rarity that its existence may reasonably be questioned, and there are those who deny its existence in toto," to be unwarranted, and we believe the term "primary peritonitis" should not be dropt from medical nomenclature.

The author quoted further weakens his denial of the existence of primary peritonitis by the following: Peritonitis not infrequently becomes a complication of pleurisy, articular rheumatism, and nephritis by a process not thoroly determined. The first is probably the result of extension by continuity, since the two cavities communicate by the lymph vessels of the diaphragm. The poison of rheumatism, whatever it is, may be the cause of the peri
