Musk, too, was first brought into notice
by the doctor. 1t seemed to be decidedly
advantageous in controlling the violence
of the convulsions. 1t was administered
in doses of ten grains, and, by the time
the ten grains were given, the commissions,
as rule, ceased. This remedy was adj
ministered in sixteen out of twenty-one
cases of commissions, and in all these it
was of marked and immediate benefit;
the violence of the attack rapidly abated,
and soon ceased to exist.
Aqua ammonia, in doses of five drops,
repeated as occasion required, doubtless
saved several cases, when the patient was
about to die from heart failure, when the
heart sounds we're indistinct and when the
pulse at the wrist could with difficulty be
felt.
Ether hypodermically acted as a better
stimulant than whisky; administered by
inhalation it controlled the convulsions,
acted as heart stimulant and improved
respiration in marked degree.
Blood-letting-On individual was bled
from the arm to the extent of twelve
ounces; he died two days after from men,
ingitis. Four persons were cupped at the
nape or behind the ears; about eight
ounces were distracted in each case. They
all recovered.
The individuals in whom blood-letting
was resorted to were all strong, full
blooded, heavy men, with injected con-
junctiva, the veins of their necks standing
out prominently, the pulse being full ana
bounding, commissions setting in early.
Dry Cups, employed in the sUnstroke
cases, were valueess, but in those affected
by heat exhaustion the benefit was well
marked and immediate, the patients in
variably regaining consciousness after
their application.
Tincture of Digitalis, in twenty minim
doses, administered when the patient was
first seen, acted as an excellent heart
stimulant. The pulse at once became
fuller and slower, the heart beating more
regularly.

SOME OBSERVATIONS AND sUG-
GEsTIONs AS TO TREATMENT.

DR.. Orville Howitz, of Philadelphia,
makes some suggestions regarding the
treatment of sunstrokes, which just now
are seasonable. DR.. Howitz bases his OBJ
servations upon the record of fifty cases
admitted into the Pennsylvania hospital,
during the months Of July and August,
1885. The first patient was received on
the 18th day of July, when the thermome-
ter marked temperature Of $50 F. in the
shade.
Treatment.-It is believed that the new
emedy, antipyrin, was used for the first
time by DR.. Howitz; it was given, in all
cases, in large doses, with the effect of
keeping down the temperature after it
had been reduced by the application of
ice, ice bags and ice sheets to the surface;
it was employed in the form of enemata,
but the writer suggests that it would
probably be more potent if use hypoder-
mically. 1t was not resorted to unless the
temperature showed decided tendency
to rise.

depended on the popular vote he would have walk

The idea having gotten abroad in the land that
neither of the prominent candidates for governor
will be nominated your reporter has felt the public
pulse to find out if possible the true choice of this
section for governor. We find that Seth Shepard
is first choice. The Bastrop county delegation to
the state convention being uninstructed, we find
them divided between Swaiy, Ross, Breckenridge
and Shepard four of the delegates being in favor
of Shepard; and should his name be put before the
convention he very probably, would get the three
votes of Bastrop county.
