Page 15 - The great desideratum in the treatment of chronic constipation has heretofore been a remedy which possessed not only a temporary specific action on the bowels, but which would be followed by no reaction and no repression of secretion, and which could be administered for a sufficient length of time to permit of restoration of normal function; a remedy which would not only alleviate temporarily the existing mal-condition but permanently remove the cause upon which it depended for its continuance, and...

It not only effectually disguises the taste of such inherently bitter medicines as Quinine, but on account of its laxative properties, is a most valuable adjuvant or corrigent to any prescription containing drugs, such as iron, the continued administration of which tends to constipate.

Page 227 - Continued temperature above 98.50° indicates prostration and illness; 101° to 105°, severe fever; 105° to 108°, danger; 108° to 109°, impending death. A temperature of 105° or 106° on the first day of illness is prima facie evidence of ephemeral fever; it is not typhoid or typhus, but probably malarious. Though the typical evidences of pneumonia are present, if the thermometer fails to reach 101.70° it may be concluded no soft infiltration of lungs is present. High temperature...
