142 MILK SICKNESS. These pages have been written from memory, and witli no private ends in view. The chief object has been to aid others, especially the young or strange physician in meeting responsibilities he may be called on to assume where no assistance or counsel may be at his command. For any want of systematic arrangement or perspicuity of style, I have no apologies. I have thought the history, pathology and treatment of Milk Sickmss, of sufficient magnitude to engage the attention of the l)rofession even if the remote cause should remain as it now does, in obscurity. I have nothing new to offer as to its patliogenesis, and must be excused for expressing an opinion without any facts to sustain it. The theories that have been offered, and the discoveries supposed to have been made are pertinent to the subject, whetlier containing any ])ractical suggestions or otherwise. 1. Mineral poisons, mineral waters and mineral exhalations from the earth, have been supposed to cause tlie disease. These scarcely need be noticed, as their effects are so direct and uniform, and so far different from this disease as to deceive no careful observer. 2. Vegetable poisons are supposed by many to be the cause. This may be true of some unknown substance belonging to the vegetable kingdom, but those claimed as such are as far from the mark as the mineral poisons, but as they are advocated by men of science and experience, they are entitled to a respectful consideration. The eupatovium has been confidently affirmed to be the cause. This plant is said to abound in all parts of the United States, and certainly grows abundantly where this disease has never been known or suspected. The Rhiis-toxicodendron has been placed before the public more than once, by professional men claiming some experience in this disease. Now all our citizens are familiar with the poison oak, as it is seen in all sections of this country, however remote from the U)calities infected, with milk-sick-poison, and they shun it as a deadly poison, the touch only being sufficient to produce cutaneous disease resembling erysipelas. Doubtless these, as well as many other shi-ubs will poison animals that eat them. But all poison is not milk sickness. They are di-
