352 THE CHARLOTTE MEDICAL JOURNAL). 302 that I could not treat more successfully without any form of fermented and distilled liquors than with."—N. S. Davis, Ex-President of American Medical Association, and author of the standard work, Principles and Practice of Medicine. "As a result of thirty years of experience and practical observation, I feel assured that alcoholic stimulants arc not required as medicine, and believe that many, if not a majority of physicians of to-day, of education and experience, are satisfied that alcoholic stimulants as medicines, are worse than useless; and physicians generally have only to overcome the force of habit and the prevailing fashion in medicine, to find a more excellent way, when they will look back with wonder ,and surprise, that they, as individuals, and as members of our honored profession, should have been so far compromised."—Dr. Green's Address to the Medical Association of Boston. "Forty years ago the fathers of the very men who now prescribe brardy, wine and ale for almost all diseases, prescribed bleeding, calomel and starving instead. They did this conscientiously, too, no doubt, but then as now, the tendency of their medicines was to kill rather than to cure. In the London Temperance Hospital the mortality is four and a half per cent, lower than in any other hospital taking the same run of cases. Alcohol is almost never used in the hospital; is not employed in making tinctures, a solution of one part of glycerine to two of water being substituted at a cost of one-fifth less than that of alcoholic tinctures, and used in amputations or typhoid fever, with results that demonstrate the superiority of this method."—Dr. J, Edmonds, London, Eng. In the Manchester Royal Infirmary, England, the medicinal use of alcohol has fallen off in recent years eighty-seven per cent., and the death rate from about eleven to about seven per cent. "In no instance of disease in any form is alcohol a medicine which might not be dispensed with, and other agents substituted." —Dr. J. B. Nichols, editor Boston Journal of Chemistry. "The sale of drink, is the sale of disease ; the sale of drink, is the sale of poverty; the sale of drink, is the sale of insanity; the sale of drink, is the sale of crime ; the sale of drink, is the sale of death."—Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson, M. D. Mrs. Bangle.—They say half the world doesn't know how the other half lives. Bangle.—Then they don't read the patent medicine testimonials. Fracture of the Skull at the Vertex, with a Series of Cases.* By Clinton B. llerrick. M. D., Troy, N. Y., Clinical Professor of Surgery, Albany Medical College, Surgeon Troy Hospital. As a condition, per se, fracture of the skull need not be considered in a serious light, inasmuch as the damage done to the bone does not interfere in any wise with anv of the functions or activities of the body, and the replacing of the fragments, or the care of the same, is reduced to the manifestations of the primary attentions. But as the skull is a box wherein lies the brain, and any violence which is sufficient to fracture the skull, is carried to and into this intercranial organ, producing immediate symptoms of greater or less severity, or a material injury or destruction, the latter coexisting condition becomes at once the one demanding attention, relegating the actual fracture to the position of being treated entirely according to the demands to be met with, to improve the intracranial condition. Fracture of the skull is usually classified into various kinds, as simple, fissured, compound, depressed, and combinations of these, but the importance of this is entirely lost sight of in the presence of the intracranial condition produced in connection with the fracture. We have been taught, for years, that certain signs and symptoms accompanied with intracranial conditions dependent upon a fractured skull, and that they followed, to a great extent, the severity of the external condition. Looking backward over the field of experience, we find that this teacher throws quite a different light upon the subject, and not only do we see that signs and symptoms are many times widely at variance with the actual lesion, but that they too are modified in many ways other than those long looked upon as positive, and it is with the objeet of noting these by illustrative cases that this short paper has been prepared. Take those cases where from a blow upon the head without any very marked external evidence of wound, and therefore a presumably intact or at most a slightly fissured fracture of the skull where, from book-lore we expect at most a short stage of come and quick recovery from any or all symptom of injury. Then again those cases where with more or less extensive fracture, with depression, we have always expected *Read before the Medical Association of Troy.
