Heart-to-Heart Talks of a Successful This little book has had a phenomenal sale; it will impart courage, confidence, and vim to every practitioner, young or old. One doctor writes that the book was worth fifty dollars to him, another writes that no practitioner can afford to be without this book even if it were five dollars a copy. Says American Medicine September 5: "While designed for the profession, the book would afford interesting and profitable reading for scores of laymen. The author's wide and varied experience, together with his insight into human nature and his keen sense for plain, unvarnished facts, has enabled him to produce a little book intensely interesting, clean and valuable." Says the N. Y. Medical Record, in a long editorial notice: "The greater part of this readable little book, in which the vials of wrath are poured out in no measured terms upon the head of the incompetence, the charlatanism, and the chicanery of the day, seems to be directed to showing why so few succeed.'

The beneficial results manifested themselves very promptly in a few days. Jno. Citatatto, M.D., of New Orleans, writes: "A young lady sent for me, and upon my arrival I found her suffering from an attack of erysipelas. I decided to try Glyco-Thymoline, and accordingly made a solution consisting of four ounces of Glyco-Thymoline to two pints of water, and ordered the patient's face to be kept constantly covered with compresses saturated with this solution. With the very first application the itching ceast instantly. The swelling of the face disappeared very rapidly, and after three days of this treatment my patient was entirely cured." "The writer took from sixty to ninety grains of Ur-a-sol per day for a period of six weeks, expressly to better observe its physiological action. During that time there was absolutely no disturbance of the stomach, but on the contrary, an increast appetite that seemed at times impossible to satisfy. There was no fulness of the head nor disturbance of any form.”— Medical Summary. Have you bought one of Willis's $4.40 special price pocket case of surgical instruments?

See adv. on page 32. Dr. J. C. Wilson advocates the use of alcoholic stimulants in tympanitis. Turpentine or camphor, he says, together with minute doses of opium, may be added to the treatment, and activ preparations of pepsin or peptenzyme; alone or together with hydrochloric acid, should be administered with the food. Compresses wrung out of iced water, or turpentine stupes, should be applied, and cautious, gentle massage of the abdomen is also useful. Small enemata of iced water and cold enemata containing turpentine are sometimes followed by good results.-Jour. A. M. A.

OR TWENTY YEARS this treatment has resulted in quick cures without complications. It insures strengthening repose while being used. Bacteriological tests by C. J. Bartlett. M. D., of the Pathological Department of Yale University, show that vaporized Cresoline kills the germ of diphtheria. Its action is curative and prophylactic and hastens convalescence in this disease. Cresolene is germicidal and sedative in its action on the mucous membrane. The air rendered antiseptic enters where liquid from sprays or nebulizers cannot. A 1% solution of Cresolene in water kills the germs of diphtheria, typhoid fever and pus in one minute. The diseases in which the properties of Vapo-Cresolene have been especially utilized are whooping cough, croup, bron chitis, influenza, hay-fever, diphtheria, the bronchial complications incident to measles and scarlet fever, and in allaying the dyspnea and irritating cough in pneumonia.

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 tot 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 pub lications of the National Educational Association as follows: 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 ration alize our universal instrument- language. Acute Cystitis. This affection is much more common in the winter months than in warmer weather, and it is certain that cold is a predisposing factor. It is not only a painful and annoying affection, but is also prone to become chronic if not properly and persistently treated. The patient, with the first attack, does not realize the gravity of the case, and is generally hard to control. Many practicians, realizing this, prescribe carelessly and save themselves the trouble of giving thankless advice. Every case of acute cystitis is entitled, not only to medication, but to judicious words of advice and caution, and full hygienic directions. Usually the first direction which should be given the patient is to go to bed and stay there; tho this may not suit him, the physician should insist on his obeying. A hot enema, given in a warm sitz bath, will give immediate relief. This may be supplemented, if there is much pain and tenesmus, by a rectal injection of 30 minims of deodorized tincture of opium in 2 ounces of starch water. If the pulse is full and bounding and fever is present, give the following prescription till all the fever disappears and the pulse is quiet: |
