APPENDIX

Section III gives charts of cases which were treated by the combined method 



of ernetin injections and orally administered emetin (Table XII). Other relapsing 



' cases afterwards treated by this method and which had had previous treatment by 



emetin injections alone (E.), or emetin by the mouth alone (E.m.), appear in 



Section I or Section II. 



The action of methyl emetin sulphate is illustrated by the charts of three of the 

 four cases which were treated with this drug. They also received courses of emetin 

 hydrochloride and are included in (Section I) Smith, (Section II) Blair, and (Section III) 

 Basse!, H. 



Section IV includes chart of one of three cases (McCaffrey, IJuntly and Hirst) 

 which illustrates how an E. histolytica infection may apparently disappear, at any rate 

 for a considerable period, without any treatment whatever. Case Hirst is especially 

 interesting, for there appeared a Waskia intestinalis infection, apparently contracted 

 from case Morris while he was under" observation in hospital. 



Section V includes cases of flagellate infections which were treated with emetin, 

 $-naphthol or bismuth salicylate. One of these cases develope^jJ^^J. histolytica 

 infection during the course of treatment of .the flagellate in fec 



ABBEEVIATIONS. 



In the charts of the cases the following abbreviations have been used for the i 

 net examined on any day during the course of treatment, a dash ( ) appears in the stool 



If the stool was 

 mn : 



E.h.c. = E. histolytica cyst. 



E.c.c. = E. coli cyst. 



E.f. = Unencysted entamoebse (either E. 



histolytica or E. coli). 

 E.f. r.b.c. = Unencysted entamcebse with included 



red blood corpuscles (E. histolytica). 

 L.c. = Lamblia cyst. 



L.f. = Unencysted lamblia. 



E.n.c. -= E. nana cyst. 

 E.n.f. = Unencysted E. nana. 

 Tet.c. = Tetramitus cyst. 

 Tet.f. = Unencysted tetramitus. 

 Trich. = Trichomonas. 

 W.c. = Waskia cyst. 

 W.f. = Unencysted waskia. 

 Tc. = Tricercomonas. 



The abbreviations used for the character of the stools more or less explain themselves. The first part of 

 the description refers to the colour of the stool and the second to the consistency : 



B. = Brown. 



L.b. = Light brown. 



Y. = Yellow. 



Y.w. = Yellowish white. 



F. = Formed. 



Sf. Semiformed. 



Uf. = Unformed. 



Bk. = Black. 



D.g. = Dark green. 



D.b. - Dark brown. 



SI. = Slate. 



L. = Liquid. 



M. = Mucus. 



B.m. = Blood and mucus. 



Thus L.b.uf. m. means a light brown unformed stool with mucus, 

 stool with blood and mucus. 



In the column on treatment the following are used : 

 E. = Emetin hydrochloride injection (E.I = 



one grain injection). 



E.m. = Emetin hydrochloride by the mouth 



(E.m.$ = half agrain by the mouth). 

 E.lE.m4 = One grain emetin hydrochloride injec- 

 tion and half a grain by the mouth. 

 M.E. = Methyl emetin sulphate injection. 



M.E.m. = Methyl emetin sulphate by the mouth. 

 Thy. Thymol. 



P. ipecac. = Pulv. ipecac. 



B.uf. b.m. means a brown unformed 



0-n. /3-naphthol. 



B.s. = Bismuth salicylate. 



Turp. = Turpentine. 



V. Occasions on which vomiting occurred 



after orally administered emetin. The 



interval of time before this occurred 



is inserted. 

 In first column is the day on which the 



patient went to the convalescent camp.
