THIS city, appears a careful consideration of
the benefi Cf this form of treatment, and
the editor predicts that digitalis will super
sede the present routine ractice of de-
plessantS, and that this drug bids fair 10
become almost a specific in pneumonia.
The result of the investigations of Pet
resco are most valuable, as be has now used
dlgltaliS since 1888 in preference to all
other methods of treatment. He asserts that
ne mas cut short the disease in from twenty
Iour TO IOrty-eight hOHrs by this drug alone,
the pulse and fever of the patient falling
almost normal. In 825 cases treated by him
SINCE 1888 he has had a mortality of
only 3.O3 per cent In the experience of
Edln b0urg, COS cases treated by blood. let
ting alone gave mortality of 34.05 per
cent The results secured by Tiki of Vi
emma nave been even more gratifying than
those OF PetrescO. This distinguished pTac-
ttl0ner has published the results of sixty
one carefully studied cases. all of which
were treated by large doses of digitalis.
only one death occurred among this num-
Der, giving a mortality of only l. 60 per cent.
All OF the foreign inyeS tigaJOrs agree that
the doses OF dIgitalis must be larger than
th"Se generally employed. PetrescO has
oeen III the habit Of giving from sixty to
ninety grains day in an infusion for three
or I0ur days cOnsecutvely, and even with
these large doses he states that he has never
noticed any bad effects. From the reports
OF the investigations of these well-kn own
physicians. the medical profession would
seem 10 have placed in its hands another
important weapon in the overcoming of the
dreaded dISeaSe.-Philadelpu Record.

Latest Advance In the Science Of Medi-

While pneumonia is probably one Of the
most fatal of the diseases that the physician
is called upon to treat, it is at the same
time one of the most unsatisfactory, as re-
CARDS the results secured by treatment. On
an average one in every five persons stricken
with the disease dies. and this rate of NOR
tally under UnfavOrable circumstances as
in the privations of war, has been rs nigh
as one in every three affected. Notwth-
standing the growth Of medical science, the
physician has been practically poweress to
stay tn e progress Of the malady. or to mod
iiy its course, his main effort being TO meet
the various complications likely to arts Q
with appropriate remedies and to support
the strength Of the patient until the disease
comes to an end
Some years ago dlgtalis was recon-
mended by foreign investigators as having
n special action in pDeumOnia, but as the
treatment was contrary to the accepted
theories of blOod-letting and similar de-
pressants in the early stages OF the trouble,
1t did not receive the attention that has
been given TO it recently. The publ

What l. Did in THIS Case.

ATLANTA. GA.
Something over a month ago an old lady
was living on sck-bed. given uD to die by
physicians and her family The n5ighbors
had gathered in to sit up with the case and
witness the last moments of the sinking
patient. All treatment was discontinued,
in fact the patient was too weak to taks
medicine. Every half-hOur parOxysm Of
coughing and Stranging would come on,
and seemed to be so severe that 1t would
take the helpless victim TO eternity before it
would relax its grip. One of her friends
who was sitting by knew something Of the
virtues OF Royal Germetuer, and, after one
OF the severe parOXysmS, asked the priVi-
lege OF giving her a dose. As the doctors
had given up the case, the request was
granted, and dose Of Germeteur was given.
No parOXysm Of coughing aud strangling
followed. On the next day the patient be-
gan to talk audibiy, while she could not
speak above a whisper when she took the
first dose She continued 10 improve, and
now the cough has disappeared Besides.
she is relieved Of rheumatism of fifteen
years standing, and OF severe indigestion.
She can eat anything she wishes without
Inconvenience, suffers no pain, and says
that her cure is something that she never
expected and is like miracle. Her daugh-
ter, who reports the lacts, says the state
ment cannot be made too strong. She con-
tinues the use OF GeTmetucr and continues
0 improve.
In addition to this, another cure in the
same family has been affected.
| and my family certify to the above facts
as to the health of Mrs. Martin aud tie
good effects Of the medicine.
