Mercury and Sulpbur.
I). Respighi finds that sulphur acts as an
antidote to mercury in the intestinal canal
and when suljihur waters are being drunk
it is found that the patient will tolerate a
larger amount of mercury than when they
are not in use, without the occurrence of
mercurialism. Sulphur is not only an antidote
to mercury in the intestinal canal, but
also to the mercury circulating in the blood.
Whenever we have symptoms of mercurial
poisoning in syphilis we should make use
of the sulphur water? as au antidote and
eliminant.—I.a Riforma Medica.
with his hands. The downward pressure
thus exerted overcomes the action of the
antagonist muscles and stretches the capsule
and ligaments until reduction is easily
done. Dr. Schichhold has applied this
method in many cases during the last forty
years with satisfactory results. The chief
advantage of this technique is that he can
regulate, himself, the force of the traction
exerted to the exact amount required for
reduction, as he grasps the neck of the
humerus with one hand and with the other
presses the head into place, both hends being
free for the manipulation of the joint.
The only assistance required is some one to
hold the patient firm in the chair, one arm
around the neck and the other in the axilla.
The technic allows rapid reduction of even
old dislocations without anaesthesia, assistance
or apparatus.—Medizinische klinik.
