Scarlet Fever.

Aphysician of considerable eminence, in Eng
land, DR.. Henry Pigeon, writes to the London
Lancet on his treatment of that scourge of many
families, scarlet fever. He says he has found
sulphur almost specific for the disease. He an
oiuts the patient twice daily with sulphur ONT
ment, gives from five to ten grains in a little
jam three times day, and burns sulphur in the
room of the patient twice daily. He says that he
has given this treatment extended trial for over
two years. and that under it not one of his pa
tients was more than eight days in making COM
plete recovery, although the case were well
marked, the surface skin on the arms coming
away like the skin of snake. The record of his
statement made in the Lancet is republished
here, not TO stimulate home doct oring in the case
Of pronounced disease, but as o mode of treat
ment, supported by evidence of its efficacy
which makes 1t worthy of consideration by phys
icians who have not given close study to that
mode of treatment The use of sulphur in this
and similar diseases we are aware is not new,
but an exclusive use.of sulphur internally, exter.
nally and for inhalation, seems to be the specific
adopted by Dr. Pigeon

Scarlet Fever.

The London Lancet calls attention to the i'm.
portance, as safeguard to public health, of Sc
curing the early detection of cases of scarlet f-
yer, it being of incalculable consequence not on
ly to the patient, but also to the community, in
order that timely measures may be taken for pre-
venting the spread of the disease. The Lancet
says that the throat symptoms are the most
trustworthy for the purpose of diagnosis in the
initial stages of scarlet fever the soft part of the
palate is extensively Redeemed, and not merely
the tonsls, as is the case in the first instance in
ordinary sore throat. When this condition is
met with, accompanied by very hot skin and
o very quick pulse, attended or preceded by sick
ness, with a thickly fnrred tongue, red borders
and prominent papille, case of scarlet fever
may be prepared for In most cases, adds this
journal, sickness occurs within twenty-four hours
after the commencement of the attack indeed
it is we'll known to all observers that, in the
large proportion of cases, sickness occurs within
twenty-one or eighteen hours.

publish his specific for the cure of diphtheria.

tient can bear without producing that result is a
good rule in the severe cases. The solution or
mixture can be used in doses of five drops to half

milk besides as food for small children. 1t is
said, however, that hyposulphite prevents the
digestion of milk, and therefore should not be
given in less than one hour after administering
the medicine"

DIPHTHRRIA.


The San Francisco Call reports leading ply
stefan of that city as saying:
Diphtheria is as mnch a zymotic disease as is
smallpox or scarlet fever. 1t is poisonous cons
dition of the blood, and the swollen glands, sore
throat, etc. are simple local evidence of its exist
ence. 1t is, without doubt, extremely infectious,
bt ing propagated by contact with the clothing,
and more especially by the bodily contact, such
rs kissing Among the first evidences are sore
ness of the throat often very slight; swelling OF
the lympathetic glands-that is, those IN the
neck below the jaw-fever and loss of appetite,
an offensive breath, and q dangerous false mem :
brane of grayish or dirty white, which at Fl rst
appears in patches the tonsils and then spreads
to the palate, etc. If there is any reason to be-
lieye that person is infected with the disease,
some one should insert the handle OF spoon IN
to the patients mouth, examine the throat care
fully, and should any of these whitish spots be
found, send for q doctor at once. This disease is
yery rapid in its growth, and cannot be too quick

would in some respects prefer having smallpox
In my family to diphtheria, for there are more
safeguards against cOntagion in the former. At
the worst, one can be vaccinated and take the
disease only in mild form. When there is a
case of diphtheria in the family, the greatest
care must be taken 10 guard against contamina-
ton. The patients clothes must be washed in
boiling water, and be used by no other person.
The children should be kept in the open air and
sun as much as possible. There should be no
good night morning kiss given, for they, of all
things extend the disease. The windows should
be kept open, that the rooms may be thoroughly
ventilated for fresh air is the greatest counter
acter. Above all things there should be no
stinted diet, but any amount of wholesome,
Strengthening food, for in the weak system and
disorganized stomach lie the main roots of the
disease. With good medical advice promptly

food, and non-contact with the sick person, there
is every reason to hope that the disease will not
spread in q family. As rule children only are
victims for it 10 rare to find the case of a grown
person who does not recover from its effects.

to marry. why, Charles said the old man, 'you
