64 tlte charlotte m edical journal. away with the canteen and the bad results of its action upon the soldiers. The liquor furnished by the canteen was pure, while that obtained at the saloons was often of the vilest quality, acting like rank poison. At Paniqui, in the Philippines, during February and March, 1900, there were between seventy and ninety trials by court-martial each month; four fifths of the offenses were intoxication from native vino. A canteen was established in the latter part of March. Since then until February, 1901, there were never more than twenty trials a month. Major Seaman strongly advocates the reestablishment of the canteen, and says : "When the canteen was maintained the soldiers drank less, were under better influences and returned sober and contented to their library, reading-rooms or quarters. "When the misguided enthusiast of the Woman, s Christian Temperance Union stop to reflect that the result of their influence in inducing Congress to abolish the canteen has produced an enourmous increase of wretchedness in the army hospitals, and made many a husband, father and lover tlie victim of degradation, they may indulge in less self-congratulation and conclude to cease interfering with regulations about which they are helplessly ignorant. "The canteen was the most rational compromise that the ripe experience of the ablest officers in the army could devise." In connection we might refer to the lack of common sense in very much of the legislation in reference to prostitution. I11 large cities no act of legislation, however stringent or severe, can abolish the vice, while the stimulants to human passion remains as they are. We must take society as it is, and, while we throw around it all the protection which practical laws can devise and which can be carried out in their integrity, realize the fact that the vice exists and must exist until the pulpit, press, family circle, our educational institutions, develop a higher sense of the harmony and purity of civil and social life.—New York Medical limes. Double Ovariotomy in the Eightieth Year. Krusen operated in May, 1899, on a woman born in February, 1820. Twenty-six years before the operation she first noticed a lump in the left side of the abdomen ; it gradually increased in size, but did not become painful and bulky till two months ago. The abdominal circumference at the umbilicus was forty-five inches. There was some free fluid. The tumours remov- ed were two proliferating glandular cysts, weighing with their contents over fifteen pounds. They were easily removed, as there were no adhesions. The abdominal cavity was flushed with hot normal salt solution. Only two-and-a-quarter ounces of ether were required, and the patient's condition when taken from the table was excellent. The operation took thirty-five minutes. Convalescence, otherwise unin-terupted, was complicated by an attack of Bell's palsy, which was noticed immediately after the operation, and persisted for several months. The patient was in good health in February, 1901, nearly two years after the operation.—British Medical Journal. Internal Antisepsis* By Reynold Webb Wilcox, M. D., LL. D., Professor of Medicine and Therapeutics in New York Post-Graduate Medical School and Physician to the Hospital; Physician to St. Mark's Hospital. The author begins with the statement that it is in the field of the infectious diseases that internal antisepsis will of necessity have its most important application. It should be useful in septicaemia, and possibly in pyaemias in which the pus foci are not accessible to the surgeon. Not that the author rejects surgical methods ; accessible foci of infection should receive that treatment. His plea is for a method of combating infection in cases where surgery fails. Is internal antisepsis possible: If the symptoms indicative of septicemic infection retrogress, if the chills, malaise, headache, remittent fever, restlessness, prostration, sweating, muttering delirium, red and glazed or leathery tongue, full, bounding and compressible pulse, enlargement of the spleen, and hypostatic congestion of the lungs gradually becomes less marked under the administration of a remedy, it may be suspected that the improvement is due to it. If this association of remedy and relief becomes fairly constant, and the failures explainable, the suspicion may become a well-established belief. To be an efficient antiseptic a remedy must reach the micro-organisms anywhere in the entire area of distribution of the blood and either completely destroy them or prevent their futher growth.
