640 THE CHARLOTTfe MEDICAL JOURNAL. Nurses' Electrical Course Thorough instruction by mail in the physics and physiology of electric currents, and in the technique of their application in medicine and surgery. X-ray methods of the moat successful workers clearly explained. Prospectus, with full page plates, sent on request. INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOLS, Box 1819, Seranton, Pa. The Treatment of Chronic Ulcer of the Stomach Those of our readers who are interested in either general medicine or surgery must have read with pleasure aud profit the excellent paper by Mayo Robson, in a recent issue of the Journal, on the surgical treatment of chronic gastric ulcer. One who is familiar with the work done by Mr.Robson feels that what he writes on this subject must be authoritative, for few individual surgeons have had the extensive experience in operations upon the stomach and neighboring viscera which he has enjoyed. Although one cannot always agree with some of his st atements, and occasionally may feel that the author is too radical, yet 011 the whole his article on this interesting condition impresses the reader as being from the pen of one who thoroughly understands the subject and who has given it the most careful thought and consideration. He urges upon the practitioner the great necessity of instituting early the most rigid medical treatment for acute gastric ulcer and of keeping this treatment up for a number of weeks after pain and other symptoms have subsided. He shows us very plainly that subsidence of symptoms does not mean that the ulcer has entirely healed, but only that the healing process has become established. Chronic ulcer usually follows a number of relapses after lax and ineffectual medical treatment. Robson shows, too, the greatly lessening mortality brought about in'all surgical work upon the stomach during the past few years, and proves that in the treatment of gastric ulcer this mortality is much less than in cases in which medical treatment alone is depended upon. The paper is a long one, but every general practitioner, as well as every surgeon, can derive benefit from its perusal.—Philadelphia Medical Journal. Notice« SANDER & SON' EUCALYPTOL is in valuable in inflammation of the mucous membranes, and in all septic and infectious diseases. Apply to Dr. SANDER, Belle Plaine Iowa, for sample and literature of Sander's Eucalyptol. Meyer Bro.'s Drug Company, St. Louis, Mo., Sole Agents. Suitable Nourishment for> the Poor in Combating Alcoholism and Disease. In discussing the best means of preventing alcoholism at the recent Anti-Alcohol Congress at Vienna, Dr. Burtscher, of Bern, laid great stress on the importance of an abundant, inexpensive food-supply for the poorer classes. He stated that the consumption of liquors is most prevalent and the effect worst among the most poorly nourished peoples of Europe. The excessive use of alcohol is not so frequently the cause of poorly developed and nourished bodies, as is imperfect nourishment the cause of an abnormal craving for liquors. The effects of alcohol are also decidedly worse among the badly nourished. Drunk-ennes», delirium tremens and mental diseases are uncommon among the well- nourished peoples of Germany as compared with the condition among the badly nourished Poles and Irish. Temperance societies, tracts, cures and institutions for the treatment of drunkenness will all prove of littie avail as long as the poor are unable to obtain food to nourish themselves sufficiently well to prevent abnormal craving for stimulants. The shortsighted policy of the Agrarian party in striving to prevent the importation of less expensive maets from America and other countries was emphatically con demned. Proper nourishment is certainly as important in preventing diseases as in preventing alcoholism. This is specially true as regards to the prevention of tuberculosis. In our own country no difficulty exists as to the possibility of procuring an abundance of nourishing food for so great are our resources of food supply that even our poorest classes eat at least twice as much meat as the most fortunate people of the same standing in most foreign countries. There is no lack of badly-nourished people among us, however, and they are not found among the poor alone. With us the fault lies more in the preparation than in the quality and abundance of food. Slop-dy soups, greasy, indigestible fried meats, fried eggs, fried fish, fried potatoes, in fact every food possible fried and greasy; soggy hot bread and cakes, and unwholesome pastry lacking in food value are the common foods of not only the poor but many of the better classes. Cooking is now taught in many of our public schools and institutions as well as in private classes. Let us hope that this will promote much-needed reform and by teaching how digestible and appetizing food may be prepared, help to improve the physical condition of the people and thus lessen the frequency of disease.—A?nerican Med. Jour.
