Dr.. LivermOre Reads Important Paper on
Truths Which We're Demonstrated
at Clinic Operations

The afternoon session of the Cen
trail Oklahoma Medical association wal
featured by some very interesting anC
timely papers which were much en-
joyed and widely discussed by the pnv
sicians present. DR.. L. w. Cotton D.
Enid, Okla, president of the assoela
tion, read paper on hygieps ana
eugenics in which he particularly EN-
}phasized the necessity of starting With
the child to make men and women
who VIII improve the race.
DR.. Clarence e. Lee Of Oklahoma
City read mastery paper on the e.
ficient treatment of malaria, III which
he slowed the necessity of always
making a blood examination FOR the
ma'arial parasite in suspected cases
and also brought out the inefficiency
OF lie treatment of this condition un-
less treatment was continued fiOm
thirty to forty days. He suggested
the use of both quinine and arsenic
preparation hypodermically and into
the veins. The various forms Of ma
laria were discussed and the differ
ence in the treatment of each form
was mentioned
Dr. S. L. Morgan, associated with
the Pasteur institute at Oklahoma
City, read a very comprehensive paper
on hydrophobia or rabies and the
present method of treatment. His sug-
gestions as to the proper procedure
in cases of suspected dogs or animals
are: First, if possible to avoid doing
so, do not kill a supposedly rabid dog.
Keep him securely chained or confin-
ed for ten days. If the living animal
remains healthy during the ten days
confinement no rabies is present AS
long as it remains healthy it should
not be killed and there is no need to
send 1t for laboratory diagnosis. If an
animal suspected of rabies dies its
head should be sent Immediately to
the Pasteur institutions or the state
board of health laboratory. In warm
weather always put the dogs head in
ice before sending by express. If the
-eport o. tEe institute states that the
ANIMAL had rabies any one infected
by the saliva Of the animal either
through a bite or other wounds,
should Immediately begin Pasteur
treatment at his physicians office, for
1t is not necessary to come to the in
stitute for treatment as the treatment
is sent out successfully by mail to the
physicians. In all localities where
rabies Is known to have been present.
all dogs should be muzzled. All dogs
known to have been bitten by rabid
dog should be killed. AS an essential
preliminary measure all wounds made
nal should be cauterized inn
mediately with commercial formalin
and this should not be neglected after
delay Of one or two days.
DR.. c. ]. Fishman of Oklahoma CITY
read a paper on the newer methods of
blood examination in relation to dis
eases, his paper being enjoyed very
much by the physicians doing labora-
tory work.
Dr. w. J. Wallace of Oklahoma City
discussed the subject of latest meth
DDS OF treating a disease which. he
emphasized the fact that the success
of the treatment depended greatly on
the thoroughness of the physician in
checking UP his treatment by labo-
ratory and blood test.
Dr. J. NJ. Cooper of Oklahoma City
discussed the effect Of constipation re-
sulting in disease of the rectum and
what would be a successful treatment
for these conditions. The last paper
was by Dr. w. H. Livermore of Chick
asha on focal affections. This paper
showed very clearly the results of the
work that is being done in the investi-
CATION and removal of the focus of in
fection particularly those found in
the teeth and tonsils. The clinic in
the morning demonstrating the pres
ence Of pus and infection in the teeth
and tonsils and the points Of interest
brought out in the paper showed the
