CHAPTER VIII.
TREATMENT OF PLAGUE.
1.- Remarks on the treatment of Plague by James Cantlie,
M.B., Aberd., F.R.C.S., Eng., Lecturer on Applied Anatomy
at Charing Cross Hospital Medical School.
" At first sight it would seem as though the treatment of plague
was a subject which it is useless to discuss, as it is repeatedly stated
that we have no cure for plague. We have no " cure " for many—
nay, most—of our diseases ; yet experience has shown that although
no specific treatment is known, still with care, judicious nursing and
medical supervision, ailments, such as typhoid, cholera and zymotic
diseases generally, can he, and are, conducted to a successful termination.
Much, therefore, as it is desirable to know what will " cure " the
disease, it is not consistent with our behaviour in other illnesses to
stand by and wait until it is discovered what form of attenuated virus
may be tried as a specific remedy.
Once for all let it be understood that in no disease does one get such
immediate results from careful and prompt medical treatment, and as
a direct outcome of watchful nursing, as in plague ; and perhaps one
ought to add to that, " in the case of Europeans."
Natives, whether of China or India, succumb more readily to plague
than Europeans. There are one or two reasons for this : (1) A native
seldom comes to a doctor (a European doctor most of all) until the
disease is well advanced. (2) In point of stamina the poorer natives
are a long way below northern Europeans. (3) The inherited dislike
of the native for all forms of stimulants, be they medicinal or alcoholic,
during illness. (4) The belief of the natives in the old adage that " to
starve a fever " is correct. The difference between Europeans and
natives was well illustrated, during the 1894 epidemic in Hong Kong,
by the fact that, out of 11 British patients, 9 recovered—a mortality of
only 18·2 per cent.—whilst the Chinese died at the rate of something
like 95 per cent. This favourable result cannot, however, be ascribed
altogether to racial influence ; it was rather due to the effect that
medical treatment and good nursing had upon the course of the disease.
The British patients were seen early in the disease. They could take,
and stand, stimulants, medicinal and alcoholic, well, and the result was
the satisfactory number of recoveries which took place. Even with
such Asiatics as would submit to similar treatment, most markedly in
the case of the Japanese doctors, were the satisfactory results of treat-
ment during plague manifest.
The attendance of the doctor must be prompt, and his treatment
must be decisive. In fact, during the first five days of illness in plague
the doctor must be within a few minutes' call. To each ward of a
hospital a doctor should be assigned, or, if a valuable life is at stake in
a private house, medical aid must be obtainable in a few seconds. The
changes are so rapid in plague, the features of the disease so fulminant,
that without immediate treatment being possible success is hopeless.

necessary. Sponging and ice to the head for the fever, but no phena-
cetin or antifebrin, as the heart is early affected. Stimulants are early
called for and should bo given with a liberal hand. For the thirst, ice
to suck, and any ordinary cooling drink in moderation. Food should
be given in small quantities and frequently, chicken or other soup or
essence, conjee, milk, milk and soda iced. The stomach should not be
distended with large quantities of food or drink.
Retention of urine may occur early in delirium, and will require the
catheter."
(P.C., No. 777, elated 23rd November 1898.)
5. The pneumonic variety of plague is the most conta-
gious, and officers in charge of hospitals should not treat such
cases in general wards, but should isolate them in separate
wards of the greatest possible air space. It is further in-
advisable that pneumonic cases should be treated in private
houses, unless in the opinion of the Medical officer, the room
occupied by the case is suited for a complete isolation of such
case, and proper control over the number of attendants could
be had.
(G.O., No. 126-P., dated 24th January 1899 ; No. 318-P., dated 2nd March 1899.)

7. Plague patients have full liberty to use their own food
and medicines even in public hospitals, and it should be
publicly announced, when plague breaks out, that no person
attacked by plague will be compelled to be treated by an
European or to take European medicines.
(G.O., No. 396-P., dated 27th April 1898 ; No. 1023-P., dated 7th September 1898.)
8. As a rule, plague patients should not be discharged
from the hospitals until the expiry of one month from
subsidence of symptoms and one week after healing of any
bubo. Their clothing and other property should, before
discharge, be disinfected under the personal superintendence
of the Medical officer.
(P.C., No. 245, dated 26th January 1899.)
9. In carrying out the removal of plague patients to
hospitals, the instructions contained in Plague Commissioner's
Confidential Proceedings, No. 350, dated 8th February 1899,
should be carefully noted.
