POPULAR SCTT^KCE KPWS. 



[January, 18S9. 



Artikkiai, cold lor Yellow-Fever Hospitals is 

 suKScsted by Dr. M. S. Leslie of" Lexington, Ky., 

 in a note to the Med. Record. A similar apparatus, 

 ho thinks, might be employed to that used in 

 the artificial manufacture of ice, so constructed 

 as to reduce the temperature of the apartments 

 occupied by patients, to about the freezing point, 

 and thus contribute largely to the cure of those 

 already suffering from yellow fever, as well as to 

 prevention of the disease in those who have been 

 exposed thereto. 



Antipyrin, for suppressing the milk secretion 

 was sucessfully used by Dr. •^a.\ue\{BidleUn',Gen. 

 Je Thernp.) after having in vain tried a variety of 

 other methods. The patient was a primapara of 

 robust constitution who was suffering so severely 

 from fissures of the nipples as to prevent nursing. 

 The Dr. finally admfnistered antipyrin in the dose 

 of eight grains three times daily. The secretion 

 diminished on the first day. and disappeared on the 

 third, not to return. 



Resorcin, in the treatment of Keloid, has recent- 

 ly been used by Audeer {Piitisli Med. Jour.) The 

 patiiint was a woman whose right foot was covered 

 over two-thirds of the dorsum with an irregular 

 star-shaped mass of scarry tissue, raised in demi- 

 lelief It was very tender, so that progression was 

 impeded. At nihht. when in bed, or a hot sum- 

 mer's day, and at changes of weather, the pain of 

 the Keloid was almost unbearable, so that she could 

 not do housework. A one per cent ointment of 

 Resorcin was applied, and the foot bandaged. The 

 patient was soon relieved, and the continued appli- 

 cation of the treatment brought about a permanent 

 cure of the pain. \'on Nussbaum has also used re.s- 

 orcin successfully in Keloid. 



MEDICAL MEMOR.VNDA. 



DKonoRANT OF Iodoform. — Dr. Dodsley says 

 that oil of sassafras is the best deodorant for iodo- 

 form, 4 drops sufficing for an ounce of the iodo- 

 form. 



Erysipel.ss. — The Medical Record states that the 

 Sticking Plaster Treatment of Erysipelas is highly 

 reconnnended by Professor Wolfler of Gratz. Strips 

 of lsin"lass plaster about the breadth of the thumb, 

 are applied over the atVected surface. 



A Gener.m- Antioote for Poiso.ns. — Accord- 

 in" to the American Journal of I'liaruuici/, a gen- 

 eral antidote for poisons may [be made by mixing 

 equal parts of calcined magnesia, wood charcoal, 

 and hydrated oxide of iron, and is applicable in 

 cases in which the poison is unknown. It should 

 not. of course, supersede the stomach pump or other 



forms of emesis.

HUMORS. 



Medic.m. Pr.vctice in Arizona. — First Doctor : 

 " Got back already from Arizona.'" Second Doc- 

 jgy. "Yes; I don't like it out there." — "What's 

 the matter?" — "If voirhavea case of smallpox and 

 don't report it to the Board of Health, you are fined 

 and imprisoned. If you do the relatives fill you full 

 of buckshot. Tt ain't a healthy country for a young 

 doctor."— .tWi>«/ Standard. In this city tlie meth- 

 ods are more refined : instead of using shot-guns, 

 the relatives bring a suit for damages. 



Gentleman: " Wliat's the matter. I'ncle ' Ras- 

 tus? You look sick." Uncle ' Rastus : "Yes, sah; 

 I ate er whole watertnelyun larst night, jess 'fore I 

 went to bed, an' I ain't feelin berry well dis mawn- 

 in'." Gentleman: "Are you going to see a doc- 

 tor?" Uncle 'Rastus: "No, sah ; I'se gwine for 

 anudder melyun."
