Excerpt from The Retrospect of Medicine, Vol. 81: Being a Half-Yearly Journal, Containing a Retrospective View of Every Discovery and Practical Improvement in the Medical Sciences; January-June, 1880 Mucous polypus or run N ose. - Tu some cases of polypus of the nose, I have recently been adopting a treatment which has given good results. In structure, these growths consist of but little more than connective tissue infiltrated with serum, and enclosed in something resembling mucous mem brane; when removed by avulsion and exposed to the atmos phere, they rapidly shrivel by the escape of their serum; their distended grape-like appearance being exchanged in a short time for that represented by little more than a few shreds of connective tissue. The treatment to which I refer consists in freely puncturing these growths from the ante rior nares by means of an ordinary acupuncture-needle, thus allowing the fluid of which they largely consist to drain away. To prevent them from refilling, I follow this up by ordering the patient to inject into the nostrils a solution of carbolic acid and glycerine, which has a most marked drying up efl'ect, and to continue to do this daily and thoroughly for some time. In this way, I have been able to deal success fully with some cases where the growths have been of a limited nature, and the patient averse to their avulsion. In the last case, I made the punctures with one of Southey's trocars, which answered well, the serum escaping through the canula. I have thus, in treatment, regarded these as being local and limited mdemas, rather than hypertrophies, and as being, when once emptied, curable by astringents. It is not always possible, from their position, to subject all these growths to puncture, otherwise I believe this plan would be found generally successful.

Excerpt from The Retrospect of Medicine, Vol. 75: Being a Half-Yearly Journal Containing a Retrospective View of Every Discovery and Practical Improvement in the Medical Sciences; January-June, 1877 Acute rnnmrrsm. - Salicylic Acid - The effect of salicylic acid in acute rheumatism appears to depend greatly on the way'in which it is employed. I have yet to see the case of genuine acute rheumatism without complication in which the pain is not entirely gone, and the temperature normal, after six consecutive doses of 20 grains, at intervals of an hour, on two successive days.

Excerpt from The Retrospect of Medicine, Vol. 46: Being a Half-Yearly Journal, Containing a Retrospective View of Every Discovery and Practical Improvement in the Medical Sciences; July-December 1862 In bloodletting you are wielding a dangerous, but in some cases a necessary weapon. When it should be employed and when not, is one of the most important questions in clinical medicine. We must judge of the necessity for this treatment by the balance between the heart and the arteries. If the apex of the heart strikes strong, while the pulse at the wrist is defective, act free] y and confidently. If, on the contrary, the ventricles are weak while the pulse is full, large, and rap ping, be cautious what you do, and if you draw blood at all, let it be by cupping the chest. Remember that the pathology of the disease is a temporary death of a portion of the lungs, and that the action of bloodletting is purely mechanical Position is of great importance. When the elasticity of the vessels is lowered by disease, the blood gravitates towards the lowest part of the viscus. Let the patient, therefore, lie on the side Opposite to that affected, that thus gravitation may tend to withdraw the congestion from the weaker point. If both lungs are affected posteriorly, the patient may lie on the face for a time. Never give purgatives in pneumonia. A patient with constipated bowels will do better than one with the Opposite state. (dr. T. K. Chambers, p.

Excerpt from The Retrospect of Medicine, Vol. 48: Being a Half-Yearly Journal, Containing a Retrospective View of Every Discovery and Practical Improvement in the Medical Sciences; July-December, 1863 Bromide of Ammonium. - One of the best plans of treating h00ping cough is the administration of nitric acid in syrup, combined with topical application to the larynx of nitrate of silver. Lately bromide of ammonium has been introduced, and has been found of much use in some cases of the disease. For infants, two or three grains three times a day is a proper dose; for older children, from four to eight grains. The simpler the vehicle the better. (dr. G. D. Gibb, p.
