{{anchor:s18}}MEDICAL ADVANCE, AUG.:—Dr. Camp reports a very interesting case of intermittent fever, which he first treated after a mongrel fashion for a period of thirty days. {{anchor:s19}}He then, very sensibly, tried to clear up the case by administration of //Sulphur.// {{anchor:s20}}The result was that a violent chill was brought on with symptoms, as follows: Chill lasting two hours; chill commencing in lumbar region, and spreading up and down spine to extremities; chill with thirst; //chill much worse from uncovering//, //even a hand. {{anchor:s21}}Desire to be heavily covered in bed. {{anchor:s22}}Hepar// was given, which //prevented// the next chill, and in ten days she was perfectly well.

M. //Oppression of chest//, //which compels him to sit//, //bent forward. {{anchor:s26}}Cough compels him to sit bent forward. {{anchor:s27}}Kali carb.// relieved at once. {{anchor:s28}}At the same time this remedy caused the disappearance of two lipomata under lower angle of each shoulder blade.

{{anchor:s29}}A woman had had an attack of peritonitis, which had been treated by an old school doctor. {{anchor:s30}}She now had exudation in right side of pelvic cavity, weakness, small pulse, sleeplessness, constipation, etc, //Kali carb.// caused decrease of swelling and general improvement.

{{anchor:s31}}A man suffered for two years with asthma and emphysema. {{anchor:s32}}The paroxysms occurred every eight days, //beginning at two or three o//’//clock// A. M.,//and lasting about two hours. {{anchor:s33}}Kali carb.// caused immediate improvement. {{anchor:s34}}A woman had violent toothache, //worse in the early morning hours. {{anchor:s35}}Kali carb.// cured.

{{anchor:s36}}THE CLINIQUE, JULY 15:—The “Bureau of Diseases of Children” reports four cases of diarrhoea as follow: First, a female infant, stools of water, mucus, and undigested matter. //{{anchor:s37}}Heavy//, //white coating on tongue. {{anchor:s38}}Antimon. crud.// (3) cured. {{anchor:s39}}No. 2.
