Within a year of the publication of the second edition, another call has been made for this work. And in a work so important as this the publishers have felt that the text and especially the prescriptions should be carefully revised again. This has recently been accomplished, minor errors corrected, and omissions supplied. The demand for three large editions in three years is a gratifying indication that the volume continues to give useful service to the general practitioner. The Publishees. DR r Q -T^nJEN, (iii) PREFACE TO FIEST EDITION". The subject matter of the "Hand-Book of Modem Treat- ment'^ has been gathered from the results obtained by medical men of wide and ripe experience. It is hoped that it will serve as a ready reference book to the busy physician. Diseases are arranged alphabetically, and the prescriptions, which have proved most gratifying in results secured, are ar- ranged under the diseases for which prescribed, and in this way the use of the Hand-Book is facilitated. A feature of the work, to which the attention of the pro- fession is directed particularly, is the clinical hints and sug- gestions scattered through its pages. This feature will, it is believed, add greatly to its value and usefulness to the busy physician. The prescriptions designated contain the drugs used in the forms favored by those who are in the front rank in the study of remedial measures for the cure of disease. Its use in busy moments and its careful perusal in leisure hours will add to the practitioner^s eflBciency and usefulness. W. B. C. 6107 Wayne Avenue, Germantown, Philadelphia, Pa. (iv) COI^TEIirTS.

High rectal injections of normal salt solution are the best means of combating excessive thirst after abdominal operations. Washing out the stomach just before the patient awakens from anaesthesia has a happy effect in preventing, to a great extent, the nausea following ether. Continuous saline proctoclysis con- stitutes the leading part of the Murphy treatment for septic peritonitis, drainage being used to eliminate the toxins in the peritoneal cavity. ABORTION. POTASSIUM IODIDE IN THREATENED ABORTION. Montgomery urges the use of potassium iodide in the prophy- laxis of threatened abortion, even when the question of syphilis is in doubt. He believes that it is one of the most effective reme- dies in decreasing the irritability of the uterine mucous mem- brane. In this connection he says: "I have seen many pa- tients in whom it is impossible to elicit any indication of syph- ilis, who have done well and carried the foetus to full term upon the use of iodide of potash. So much good have I seen from the use of this drug that it is now my custom, in every case of irritable uterus where abortion is feared, to place the patient upon the use of iodide, 5 grains three times a day, given in water after meals. In cases in which sclerosis or areolar hyperplasia of the uterus has occurred, I know of no plan of treatment which will insure a woman the completion of her pregnancy.^ 99 Morphine, gr. ss-% or j, as needed, will quiet a contracting uterus. Follow with bro- mide, gr. XV, every three hours, and fluidextract of viburnum pruni folium, 3j every throe hours, for several days. The patient must rest in bed. (1) 2 Hand-Book of Modern Treatment. ABSCESS. M. Porosz, of Budapest, claims that if any one has once used a 2- to 5-per-eent. solution of nitric acid in treatment of abscesses and buboes he will never treat them in any other way. as the effects are so satisfactory. He first evacuates the ])ii? and then injects the solution with a urethral syringe as forciblv as possible. The abscess-cavity becomes distended with the fluid, which penetrates into every crevice and seems to stimulate the tissues in their work of repair after the germs in the lesion are killed by the action of the acid. In very deep buboes it may be necessary to repeat the injection daily, but healing is usuall} complete after two injections. The severest cases all healed ir a week in his experience.

Klinedinst reports a case of infected corneal traumatism in which this agent was used with marked success. He has been surprised by the rapid manner in which acetozone controls bac- terial infection and thinks that the ophthalmic surgeon has in this agent a germicide which is at once safe and more power- ful than any other known. The solution of 1 grain to 2 fluid- ounces is strong enough for the eye, though a stronger solution did not seem to do any permanent harm, and only caused greater temporary burning and pain. ACETOZONE IN MINOR SURGERY. Dr. James Burnett publishes some notes concerning his experience with acetozone in chancroid, abscess, and lacerated wound. The chancroid was dusted twice daily with acetozone, 2 parts, and powdered talc, 98 parts. The abscess was opened and its cavity washed out with aqueous solution of acetozone (2^/2 grains to 4 ounces). It was dressed with lint wrung out of the solution and covered with gutta-percha tissue. A severely crushed finger with fracture of the terminal phalanx was thoroughly washed with acetozone solution and occasionally poulticed for a few days, when the parts were powdered with acetozone and zinc oxide. The author concludes: "Though acetozone is perhaps mainly available in surgical conditions, there is no reason why it should not prove serviceable in medical diseases. Already it has been found helpful in typhoid, and I fancy that in tuber- culous enteritis, in cholera, and in dysentery it may prove of some value. Again, in puerperal septicaemia I think its use would be preferable to that of perchloride, owing to its nontoxic nature. Its administration internally may be by means of cap- sules containing 3 grains. In this form I would suggest its trial in cases of chronic gastric catarrh with much fermentation.^ Hand' Book of Modern Treatment. ACWTIY. I( Bismuthi Bubnit., 3iij.
