Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1857, Vol. 33 The diagnosis Of diseases Of the gall-bladder is, under all circumstances, attended with considerable difficulty; and, in fact, in most instances nothing but an approximation to the real state of the case can be attained. The chief reason of this, no doubt, may be found in the comparatively unimportant part which this viscus plays in the animal economy - its especial function being merely to retain the bile secreted by the liver until intestinal digestion commences. The cystic bile, it is true, owing to the absorption of its watery particles, is rendered more acrid and viscid, and therefore, perhaps, in this concentrated form, is better qualified to promote primary assimilation, calori fication, or whatever function may be assigned to it. Nevertheless it is cer tain that, in numerous instances, there have been congenital deficiencies of the gall-bladder, or atrophy Of the same-as the result of a permanent closure of its duct, from adhesive inflammation, gall-stone, or other cause - without giving rise to any appreciable disturbance of the system. Under the last named circumstances, it has been asserted that the continuous flow of bile into the duodenum tended to stimulate the digestive organs, and thus excite an incessant craving for food, or morbid appetite, such as sometimes attends certain forms of dyspepsia. More accurate Observation, however, has refuted these views - so that we cannot even rely upon this symptom as an aid in the diagnosis of the diseases under consideration.

Excerpt from American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1912, Vol. 144 Such a thing as natural constipation, in my Opinion, does not exist. Some reason must he looked for as a cause for the deficient evacuation. In childhood such reason is found occasionally in some anatomical malformation, but this is seldom. The common cause is neglect of the habit of evacuation, or, even more commonly, a wrong diet. When I looked over these boys I found absolutely no anatomical deformity, but on questioning the mother as to their habits and diet, I found that the custom of having stool at a special time of day had never been insisted upon, and the mother told me that she was very careful as to their diet and had always been. I was away on my vacation when consulted as to these boys, so had no means of making careful record of the physical findings, weight, urine, etc. Suffice it to say that the only abnormality found was a condition of inanition in both children. When the mother told me how she was feeding them, into the details of which it is unnecessary to enter, I was not surprised at their physical state. They were being fed on foods which had almost no residue, and they were not receiving enough even of such food. To the joy of both boys 1 increased their diet considerably, giving both foods which had more food value, and what is just as important, a sufficient amount of the fodder vegetables to produce enough bulk to the residue to stimulate peristalsis. I also pre scribed the amount oi water to be taken daily and the times at which it should be taken. I instructed the mother to have the boys go to stool at the same time each day and try to have a passage. If this did not come without great straining, to give a small enema of soaped water to start it. I also ordered that all laxative medicines be stopped. After the third day the enema was not needed. It is over a year since this advice was given, and the boys have neither of them required a laxative Since. I have several such: cases on record, so I feel sure that we can put down as one of the chief etiological factors in constipation, especially in children, a lack of sufficient bulk to the residue of the food, and, as another, neglect of the habit of evacuation. The former can readily be supplied by the use of a sufficient amount of the fodder vegetables, and the latter by discipline.

Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1917, Vol. 154 Pain was very strikingly relieved in many of the cases; discharge diminished in quantity and odor. If the patient's symptoms improved, but the lesions did not Show improvement, the case was not considered improved. Unimproved means that the patient's lesions or symptoms or both were not improved and that the lesions steadily progressed despite treatment. Some of the cases showed such marked improvement under treat ment at first that although they subsequently died it was deemed important to call attention to this class of cases by tabulating them under the heading of primarily improved, subsequently died. Our experience has led us to expect certain cases to do very well under treatment at first and raise great hopes of recovery in the patient and the therapeutist. Such cases have frequently been reported in the literature during this stage of improvement, and not uncommonly the patients have relapsed and died by the time the reports have been published. Some cases are improved but still unde'r treatment, so that their ultimate results are not known. These are classified in the column improved, still under treat ment.

Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1870, Vol. 60 The treatment Of syphilis by the repeated inoculation of venereal matter, proposed by M. Auzias-turenne in 1844, subsequently tested by M. Mel chior Robert, Of Marseilles, and practised to a large extent with doubtful results by M. Sperino, of Turin, has of late years been revived in Norway, where it has attracted great attention and called forth violent discussion. Rumours - nay, direct testimony as to its efficacy coming from impartial Observers visiting this distant region, and the importance Of certain patho logical questions which it involves, demand that its claims should receive more attention than they have yet had either in this country or abroad.
