the charlotte medical joi.rnal. I3I four to five daily diarrhoeal stools, violent belly-ache, pronounced meteorism. Directions : 1.2 grams (18 grains) of Xeroform divided into six wafers. Cure in one day. 5. Adelaide C., 49. Acute enteritis since three days. Numerous diarrhoeal stools containing mucus and blood; much tenesmus, violent thirst. Directions: 3.5 grams (52^ grains) of Xeroform in ten wafers. Improvement by the second day, cure by the third. 6. Evaristo G., 50. Weak; has suffered repeatedly from malaria. Acute enteritis since two days; remnants of food, mucus and blood in stools; nausea, vomiting, and violent abdominal pain. Ordered 3 grams (45 grains) of Xeroform in nine wafers. Improvement by the second day ; cure by the fourth, the patient returning to work. 7. Giovanni G., 69. Has scurvy; numerous extensive cutaneous haemorrhages and oedema of left foot. Violent diarrhoea and abdominal pain since two days. Directions : 2.5 grams (37^ grains) of Xeroform in six wafers. The diarrhoea was cured in one day. 8. Giuseppe D., 4. For several months had had enteritis; abundant diarrhcea with mucus and blood. Has been treated with bismuth and chalk without result. Ordered i.c grams (22^ grains) of Xeroform in ten wafers. Cure in three days. 9. Maria B., 9. Acute enteritis for th ree days with violent abdominal pain, and four to five passages daily. Ordered 0.5 gram (7^ grains) of Xeroform in six wafers. The pain diminished after the first three doses; cure was complete on the first day. 10. Dusolina B., 30. Acute enteritis, with mucus in the stools. Treatment : Th ree grams (45 grains) of Xeroform in ten wafers; cure in two days. 11. Amilcare S., 19. Has had abdominal disturbance for some time. Diarrhoea, pains, anorexia, great weakness. Treatment : Xeroform, 2 grams (30 grains) in eight wafers. The pains diminished 011 the second day; and both they and the diarrhoea entirely disappeared upon the third. 12. Dina T., 24. Markedly anaemic; five months gravid. Since several days abdominal pain and diarrhoea; faces contain undigested food. Was given iron and Xeroform, 2.5 grams (37^ grains) in six wafers. Tne remedy was well borne, although digestion was greatly impaired. Cure after two days' treatment. 13. Ferdinando B., 61. Suffers from pellagra sincce several years. Enteritis during the last five months; four to six daily passages containing undigested food, mu- cus and blood. Abdominal pain and bor-borigmi. Has taken all the usual remedies, bismuth, Dover's power, tannin, etc., without effect. Treatment: Xeroform, 2 grams (30 grains) in five wafers; then 3 grams (45 grains) in six wafers. On the following day the abdominal pains and rumblings had almost entirely disappeared. The diarrhoea persisted, though in less intensity. Mucus and blood disappeared from the stools. The Xeroform was continued for several days, but without better results. These results need but short commentary. The complete tolerance of the remedy, its absolute innocuousness, and its prompt action are apparent. It is readily intelligible that Xeroform, attacking the cause of the diarrhoea, rapidly relieves its symptoms, meteorism, colic, etc., so that special remedies for that purpose are unnessary. In acute cases, where its bactericide action is more rapidly than in chronic ones. In the chronic forms the infective sypmtoms are less marked, and the astringent effects of the remedy upon the inflamed mucosa are evident. Dr. Petrucci concludes that Xeroform is a most excellent remedy for the diarrhoeas of acute enteritis; that it is a therapeutic agent which answers all the clinical requirements of an astringent and disinfectant; that it acts upon the intestinal canal alone; and that it is well borne and has no harmful by-effects.—Abstracted from Rendicon-ti del V Associazone Medico- Chirurgica di Parma, No. 8, 1900. To the Physicians of the United States. The National Woman's Christian Temperance Union has been active for twenty-seven years in combating the evils of alcoholic liquor drinking. Among its most effective allies have been those physicians who do not prescribe alcoholic liquors, allowing alcohol a very limited sphere of usefulness, or none at all. We are endeavoring to bring the teachings of such physicians to the people and we believe that much good is being accomplished thereby. It is apparent, however, that if the evils of liquor drinking (ill-health, poverty, insanity and crime) are ever to be fully abated, the medical profession must take a more active part in this much desired reform. They more than any others, can disabuse the public mind of old-time errors concerning the use of or necessity for alcohol, either as a beverage or for medicinal purposes. It would seem to be the duty of those to whom the public looks for guidance in all things pertaining to health, to continue to make the most
