THUMB-SUcKNG.-I have observed
that peculiar and rather common de-
formity of the chest is caused by the
habit of sucking the thumb in infancy
and early childhood. The weight OF
the arm on the thorax of the child dur
ing sleep produces depression of the
ribs in the line occupied by the arm
when the thumb is placed in the mouth.
As this is very important effect of
Misunderstanding" never hitherto pointed
out, think it desirable to place this
thing on record for the benefit of other
observers. Medical Journal.

WHooPING CoUGH IN THE LAST STAGE.
"A writer in the Medical Journal, Lon
don, states that in cases of whooping
cough in the last stage-that is, after
the third week-he has had one ounce
of the strongest liquid ammonia put
into gallon of water in an open pan,
and the steam kept up by means of half
brick made red hot throughout, and
put into the boiling water containing
the ammonia, the pan being placed In
the mic die of a room, into which the
patients were brought as the ammonia
steam was passing Of. This method,
he says, was used In the evening, be-
fore bedtime, and it proved so effica-
cious in abating the spasmodic attack,
and after three or four days terminating
the malady, as to establish, beyond
doubt, the value of this mode of in
haling ammonia as a therapeutic agent
in tranquiizing .he nervous system in
the whooping cough.
