DAVIS COMPANY, PHILADELPHIA, PA. internally in concentrated form in large doses with perfect safety. While destructive to disease organisms, Salusol also exerts an analgesic effect upon the inflamed mucous membranes of the alimentary tract, allaying irritation and relieving pain. Applied externally to the unbroken skin it acts as an antiseptic, parasiticide, and analgesic. Being readily absorbed it inhibits the growth of micro-organisms in the deeper structures, and thus prevents the development of septic conditions, while at the same time relieving the local irritation, the pain, and itching. When applied to the abraded skin or to wounds or ulcers even strong solutions of Salusol provoke only slight and transient irritation. It acts here not only as an efficient antiseptic, but. by reason of its astringent property it allays congestion and arrests profuse discharges, thus promoting rapid healing. It is well tolerated by the mucous membranes of the nose and throat, and constitutes an excellent antiseptic and astringent mouth-wash, spray, or gargle. As an antiseptic, salusol can be utilized with success in a large variety of bacterial diseases, both internal and external. As has already been said, it is actively germicidal but non-poisonous-a most desirable combination. Internally, its use is espe cially indicated in the treatment of typhoid fever, cholera morbus, dysentery, and in that large class of cases of gastro-intestinal disorders due to fermentative processes. It is a well-established fact that in many chronic diseases of the rheumatic and gouty No physician can afford to be indifferent regarding the accurate filling of his prescription. type the absorption of toxins generated in the intestinal tract plays an important part, and here Salusol, by virtue of its antiseptic influence, exerts a beneficial effect. The dose internally is one to four teaspoonfuls in a wineglassful of water for adults, and one-quarter to one teaspoonful for children. It may be given three to four times daily, preferably one-half hour after or before meals, according to the indications. Externally, Salusol has proved of great value in infective conditions of the skin, such as cellulitis and lymphangeitis, its early use obviating the necessity of incision. In many instances there is a rapid disappearance of the pain, redness, and swelling, so that in forty-eight hours all traces of the infection have subsided. In cases of parasitic affections of the skin. such as ringworm, scabies, favus, Salusol acts as a strong germicide without any accompanying irritation. It is also an excellent application in the treatment of chronic eczema, quickly removing the scales, crusts, and thickening of the skin. In the treatment of indolent ulcers, such as varicose ulcers of the leg, it has been employed with great success. Other diseases in which Salusol has demonstrated its value are rheumatic and gouty affections of the joints. In these cases it exhibits a remarkably prompt action in relieving pain and tenderness, and also promotes a speedy subsidence of the swelling. Its decided analgesic effect may also be utilized with advantage in the treatment of neuralgias, especially sciatica. Its application will depend upon the indications, a single or double compress saturated with the solution being employed. If the skin is broken or marked irritation exists, as in cases of cutaneous eruptions. ulcers, and suppurating glands, the single compress is preferable, which is used as follows: Two thicknesses of linen are moistened in a solution of Salusol one part to two to five of water, according to the existing degree of tenderness of the skin. Over this is placed a large piece of gutta-percha tis sue, and the dressing secured with a light bandage. Oil silk should be avoided. This dressing may be left on all day, or changed morning and night as indicated. In cases of rheumatism, articular or muscular, and in neuralgias and inflammatory conditions, such as lymphangeitis and cellulitis, in which the cutaneous surface is unbroken, the double compress is employed, the dressing being changed morning and night. It is prepared as follows: A woolen cloth of single thickness is thoroughly moistened with a solution of Salusol, one part to two of water; over this is placed a larger piece of guttapercha, and over this two or three layers of flannel, these being held in position with a bandage. This dressing is used chiefly at night, but may be changed morning and evening. Besides these forms of application, if the skin is not too tender or abraded, Salusol may be rubbed in in the pure state, as in cases of muscular rheumatism (lumbago), and it will often be found that the pain and tenderness disappear almost instantaneously. It may further be applied in this manner in cases of ringworm and other parasitic affections if the skin is not too much irritated. As a spray or gargle to the mucous membranes a solution of 1 part of Salusol to 5 parts of water has proved very useful in nasal catarrh, tonsillitis, and pharyngitis, or it may be inhaled undiluted in laryngitis. or bronchial troubles. As an injection solutions of one to five parts in water are recommended in the treatment of hæmorrhoids and leucorrhoea, or tampons moistened with solutions may be employed in the vagina in the treatment of uterine affections. COLLARGOLUM. Since publishing a note on the use of Collargolum for urethrovesical lavage, Dr. Tansard, of Professor Balzer's service at Hospital St. Louis, in Paris, has successfully employed it in numerous cases.

There was never the least irritation. In old and chronic urethritis with profound lesions of the mucosa and peri-urethral cysts, the folowing method gave excellent results: Massage on a Béniqué 55 or 60 sound; urethral lavage with antiseptic solution; and finally a permanent injection of 30 to 45 minims of a 4 per cent. Collargolum solution, the urethra being closed with cotton. This did especially good service in a case of over two years' standing which resisted all other treatment. Four cases were all cured within eighteen days. In three others he alternated, with good result, Collargo'um irrigations with oxycyanide of mercury lavage. Tansard further treated acute gonorrhoeas with oxycyanide of mercury until the discharge had nearly dried up, and then gave Collargolum instillation, the filament disappearing from the urine after five to eight of them. Ten cases of chronie urethritis-some more than three years old-did not remain under observation until cured; but in all the gonococcus disappeared after less than thirty instillations, though there were still filaments in the morning urine. In six gonorrhoeal cystites about 1 drachm of a 4 per cent. solution were injected daily into the bladder. In five every vesical symptom disappeared within eight days; the sixth, which was very violent, remained unimproved after ten days and was put on silver nitrate, which acted no better.

AN EPOCH-MAKING WORK The Internal Secretions and the Principles of Medicine M By CHARLES E. de M. SAJOUS, M.D. UCH of the remarkable advancement which has been made in Medicine, Surgery, and Therapeutics in recent years has been associated with the proposition that the so-called Ductless Glands, namely, the Pituitary Body, the Thymus, Thyroid, Adrenals, etc., were functionless, and, therefore, did not need to be taken seriously in estimating cause and effect. It seems evident, however, that in the exceedingly near future these organs will have to be reckoned with by all investigators in Medicine. Much Has Been Demonstrated Already During the past fifteen years facts have come to light which indicate that the "functionless theory," as relating to the Ductless Glands, is incorrect. Therefore, the logical inference follows that these glands are either of no importance, or else that the need of a proper understanding of their real functions cripples the existing theory of Medicine. Dr. Sajous's Great Work DR. CHAS. E. DE M. SAJOUS, after many years of careful investigation, has laid before the profession a general review of the situation as relates to the Ductless Glands. Supported by facts, to doubt which would be to cast reflection upon some of the ablest members of the profession, DR. SAJOUS has demonstrated conclusively that the Ductless Glands, far from being functionless, are organs of the utmost importance in the human economy. In this work the processes of immunity from toxins is explained and new light thrown on the action of certain priceless remedies which have empirically become recognized as the foundation-stones of Therapeutics.
