Treatrnent Of Pain.

In discussing this subject DR.. Gold
schneider Of Berlin thinks that narcotics,
and especially morphine, should bo
avoided, particularly in chronic dis
eases. Bromides dc no. suffice Of them
selves to allay pain, but are very useful
when pain is duo to increased excita-
bllity Of the nervous system; tho per-
manent use Of antineuralgio agents is
to be avoided; the local application of
cold for tho relief Of pain is often use
full, especially in affections not deeply
seated, and tho value Of the anode in
allaying pain is not clear. DR.. Gold
scheider's opinion Of .ounterirri tants
Is that they are among tho most use-
full means in dealing with pain not
only In neurasthenical but likewise in
genuine pain. The question Of alter.
alton in vascular supply is hypothet
icel, but venesection, cool or warm ap
plications and other hydrotherapeutit
measures are certainly useful, and the
effect may be in some measure due te
suggestion. In regard to massage ant
treatment by movement, he thinks tha
the value Of passive aud active motion
Ia still much underestimated, and tha
In some cases of soiatica and painful
joints after injuries there is no better
