THE French physicians are at present much
interested, tits said, in new treatment for con.
sumption, introduced by Dr. Churchill, an
American physician in Paris. DR.. C:as theory
ofconsumptfon is that.its owing to an undue
waste or an insufficient supply of phosphorus
in the system. To supply this want, he admin
listers the hypophosphates Of lime and soda, in
doses of from Eve to twenty grams daily in a
small quantity of swectened water. In paper
read by him before the Academy ofbIedicine at
Paris, he gave an account Of forty one cases
treated in this way with success He insists
that the cure of consumption in the second and
third stages can be obtained in all cases by this
treatment, except when the existing lesion of
the lungs is ofitself sufficient to produce death.
He also says that these substances have not
only curative effect, but will, ifused wherev
er there exists suspicion of the disease, pre-.
ventits development, and thus act as a presery.
alive with regard to consumption, just as
vaccination does with regard to small pox-
This new system ofpracticei is said to be already
extensively used throughout the whole of the
Continent, aud favorable results have been al
ready obtained in France, Germany, Italy and
Spain, as well as at St Petersburg and Con-
stantinople.
