A Diphtheritic Remedy.

Very considerable interest has been
excited in foreign medical circles by NJ
Brondel's successful treatment of diph-
iberia by the use of benzoate of sodium,
He asserts that Of 200 consecutive cases
he has not lost a single one, and, though
admitting the possibility of mistaken
diagnosis in some instances, yet, even
excluding 80 per cent. on this account,
there remain 100 cases without death.
His method is to have the patient take,
every hour. tablespoonful Of a solution
Of benzoate of sodium. fifteen grains TO
the ounce. and at the same time one
sixth of a grain of sulphide of calcium
in syrup or granule, in addition to this
the throat is thoroughly sprayed every
half hour with the benZoate-this being
done unfailingly at the regular intervals,
day and night. with no other local treat
ment whatever. No attempt is made to
dislodge the false membrane. The nour-
ishment consists of beef juice, tender
meat, milk etc. but bread and all other
articles which may cause irritation Of
the throat are forbidden.
