DIptheria.

In the Paris Journal des COnnaissances
MeiielieS We End an interesting paper by DE-.

tended with the formation Of adventitious
membranes. Tho specific he uses Is bromine,
which has an active action on the pharynx,
the velum pendulum, and the larynx, 80 also
has bromine OF potassium. Three German
Observation-Disclosures, Schmidt and Taube
-were the FIRST to prove that bromine in
troduced into the respiratory organs caused
false membranes to be formed in the la
rynr Of pigeons. From this they concluded,
according to the homopathio principle -
siBiiiia amiHbHs eurdntnr-thAt this element
would cure Group and membranous diptheria
DR.. 0zenam took up the matter ALPHABETICALLY,
and by experiment found that bromine frBt
hardened the adyentitious membrane and
then reduced It to dust. This led him to con.
olude that both the homeopathic and allo.
pAthic principles Of medicine coincide In Ger.
tain cases; letting this question alone, his re.
searches have gone further, and show that
bromine destroys contagion ns well as chlorine
and prevents the spreading OF epidemic. This
fact, of course, became q stepping stone to using
bromine rs q curative medicine, and nearly all
the cases treated with It have been successful.
As a preservation from epidemic diptberia,
DR.. 0Ienam administers from ten to twelve
drops Of bromine In tho course Of the day, in
to fifty guns Of the latter per drop. This liquid
solution must be kept in the dark, since light
would cause the formation Of by ydrobomic acid
The vial must be kept we'll stopped, and
its contents must be changed as soon as the
light amber color has disappeared. To the
patient the solution is administered in drops
nourly, in tablespoonful Of sugar and water
so as to give from one to two grammes o
the former In the course OF twenty. hours. Ia
the case Of Group, DR.. 0Isnlm preseribes
fumigations Of bromine. A basin with hot
water is placed before the patient . large
pinch Of bromide Of potassium, or else common
kitchen salt, Is thrown in and then in the
course Of ave minutes three teaspoonsfuls o.
the above bromided solution arc added. Th,
patient inhales the vapor Of bromine thu
evolved through glass funnel. by this mean
our author has cured upwards Of one hundred
and hfty cases Of Group or diptheria, with only
