We do not believe the careful practitioner ignores the importance of disinfectants in this connection, yet it is true their use is frequently considered of secondary value, when the greatest skill will be vain, so long as the surroundings of the patient are lowering the vitality or poisoning the blood. Because of the unpleasant odor it is easily understood why objection should be made to the use about the room of chloride of lime or carbolic acid, or any pungent compound, but when thorough disinfection and complete deodorization may be attained by the use of ordorless yet harmless chemicals, it seems it should be a pleasing duty of the physician to adopt their use. For this purpose especially let us again call DIOS CHEMICAL CO., St. Louis, Mo., U. S. A. your attention to Platt's Chlorides, at once a reliable disinfectant, a prompt deodorant and a powerful antiseptic, entirely free from odor or color, clean, stainless and economical. * ** The following practical words from a well known New York City physician are to the point: In all confinements with the best of care, there is necessarily a good deal of offensive air under the bead covers which is not due to offensive lochia, but to perfectly normal discharges and perspiration, both of which are so profuse during the lying-in period. This effluvia is as unpleasant to the lady herself as to her physician and attendants. For all these conditions let me urge the profession to make free use of "Platt's Chlorides." For injections at first, use one part to thirty of water. The strength can be easily modified to suit the circumstances. For simply purifying the room or bed I saturate towels with undiluted Chlorides and hang about the room or spread between the sheets and resaturate when evaporation is complete. It is very effectual.

IN "taking a case" we are directed to make a record of the totality of the symptoms. A record that contains the totality must also contain the characteristics; but the characteristics of any given case do not include the totality. A record of the totality reveals to the mind of the intelligent physician a picture in which he can see delineated, and traced out the relationships of all of the forces and influences which are and have been at work to bring about the condition in which he finds his patient, and enables him to judge of the causes, course and tendency of the disease; enabling him to determine with some degree of certainty whether he can expect a cure to be effected, or whether his best endeavors will result in paliation only. A record of the characteristics reveals to his mind a picture in which he may discover the remedy from the exhibition of which he will secure to his patient the best results. The totality is of no use to him when he undertakes the treatment of a case, except No. 3 so far as he is able to glean therefrom and separate the characteristics. While, on the other hand, the characteristics are everything. Our great aim, therefore, should be, after having made the record as directed, to bring out and make prominent all of the peculiarities of the case in hand which are distinctive and make it differ from all other cases of a similar nature. That we may successfully meet the indications required by the peculiarities of disease, our greatest effort should be directed toward bringing out and making prominent all of the peculiarities of drug-action, as regard their sick-making qualities. Many diseases have many symptoms in common. Many drugs have many symptoms in common. In every drug-pathogenesis there are few symptoms which are like a red-thread in a woven fabric, distinguishing and peculiar, always present and always characteristic, which should be made glaringly prominent. It will invariably occur in practice that when we find even one of these "redthread" symptoms present in a case of sickness, the drug indicated by it, if it can be found and given in the proper strength (potency) will as surely cure it (the symptom) as there is truth in the Law of Similars. Experience has demonstrated even The drug indicated by the "redthread" symptom, will, in a vast majority more. UorM |
