Pneumonia

and

agents-rest and sleep-are invited and usually follow.

This description is typical of Antiphlogistine's behavior when applied in the first stage of the disease.

If these statements are true, the

Antiphlogistine question is, Why can any physician

In view of the large and increasing mortality rate from pneumonia when treated by the ordinary method, it behooves every practitioner to pay some heed to the results of the use of Antiphlogistine.

Up-to-date doctors without number everywhere have long ago learned that the best and safest method of local treatment is Antiphlogistine. They therefore have adopted Antiphlogistine as their regular routine treatment which does not in any way interfere with internal medication.

A prominent physician recently remarked: "There was a time when nearly all the children I treated for pneumonia died. In recent years they all get well. The only change made in my treatment is that I now use Antiphlogistine in every case. Draw your own conclusions."

There are certainly some surprises in store for those not acquainted with the results following the proper application of Antiphlogistine in these

cases.

If the entire thoracie walls-front, sides and back, are covered with Antiphlogistine as hot as can be borne, fully an eighth of an inch thick, and then covered with a good warm cotton-lined cheesecloth jacket, results are immediately manifest. The pain and the rapid and difficult breathing are promptly ameliorated. The pulse improves, the temperature declines, the muscular and nervous relax, and the greatest of all remedial

be found who does not use Antiphlogistine in every case? If false. why do we find 80 per cent or more of the physicians who now look upon Autiphlogistine as an indispensable aid for their pneumonia cases, and why do you find it in every hospital in the land?

A treatment that insures such results is certainly entitled to the confidence of every practitioner. Antiphlogistine is a scientific preparation. haying a definite physiological action, and that its remedial value may be fully realized it should be applied with careful attention to detail. Do not try to make a small package do the work of a large package, and do apply Antiphlogistine cold, but thick and hot as can be borne. The usual life of a dressing is twenty-four hours, but it varies, and the dressing should be removed as soon as it will peel off nicely.

You say, how does Antiphlogistine being about such favorable results? It forms the best known methods of applying moist heat continously. By stimulating the cutaneous reflexes it causes a contraction of the deep vessels and coincidently a dilation of the superficial, which action aided by its hygroscopic virtue produces a flushing of the superficial capilaries and thus bleeds but saves the blood, consequently relieving the over-worked heart and all other associated distressing symptoms.

THE EFFICACY OF ANTISEPTICS IN THE TREATMENT OF CERTAIN CONDITIONS WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE

TO THE MERIT OF GLYCO-THYMOLINE.

C. H. POWELL, A. M., M. D.,

Professor Principles of Medicine and Clinical Medicine, Barnes Medical College,
St. Louis, Mo.

Ever since the introduction of Lord Lister's principles to the medical profession physicians have studiously investigated the many antiseptic agents introduced to their notice from time to time by dif ferent pharmaceutical establishments of recognized repute. Some of these preparations have not stood the test, and as a result "have fallen by the wayside." Others in proportion to their merit are filling an appropriate place in the prescription book. Of these there are but a very few indeed, and at the head of them all my experience induces me to place Glyco-Thymoline. This remedy, aside from possessing properties of a most positive nature is handled by the Kress & Owen Company in a most thoroughly ethical manner. The medical press is selected by this firm to the exclusion of all other mediums in order to keep the Glyco-Thymoline conspicuously before the profession. Not only that, but as a further evidence of sincerity of the firm in believing their product all that is claimed, a liberal sample is sent any physician who may desire to test Glyco-Thymoline. Without going further into the merits of this solution as an antiseptic possessing decided therapeutic proprieties, I desire to report a few cases wherein by careful and persistent use this alkaline, alterative solution has given me most excellent results.

CASE I. Mrs. W. M., widowed, aged 42, consulted me for nasal difficulty of several months' standing. An examination of the nasal fossae revealed several very interesting conditions. There were grouped together possibly seven or eight foci of ulceration, some of these spots ran together presenting more or less of a serpiginous ulceration. Each ulcer was covered with a dirty ash colored exudate which adhered firmly to the underlying Schneiderian membrane. I first applied on absorbent cotton, a fifty per cent solution of peroxoxide of hydrogen and having removed the purulent secretion, sprayed the nose thoroughly with a twenty-five per cent solution of Glyco-Thymoline in distilled water. I instructed the patient to report the day following for a renewal of the treatment and to my surprise found a healthy looking surface in place of a suppurating wound. I repeated the spraying of the nasal fossae some three or four times more, and complete healing took place, the nose returning to its nornal condition within a week's time from the first application. CASE II. Mrs. F. K., married, aged 30, was brought to me for
