172 ANTI-ANAPHYLACTIC TREATMENT OF DISEASES 



During the last twenty-five years, he has undergone all 

 known treatments. Locally he has had his adenoids removed, 

 he has taken nasal douches of hot air, and of various anti- 

 septic or analgesic liquids. He has undergone several thermal 

 cures: Luchon, La Bourboule, Le Mont-Dore, where he 

 spent several consecutive seasons. He has tried ozone, which 

 produced a notable and constant increase of the trouble: 

 carbonic acid, and pollantin, without any benefit. The only 

 measures causing relief have been arsenic by mouth, and 

 "Doctor Tucker" applied direct.

Bacteriologic examination of the feees shows colon bacilli,

Treatment. As the patient, at this date (April 15, 1919)

 The patient, very pleased with his condition, states that this

 at this time of the year, and he judges it useless to undergo 

 the slightest treatment for the slight cough which still 

 persists.
