experience th<strong>at</strong> the proper dosage <strong>of</strong> this<br />

drug can be calcul<strong>at</strong>ed <strong>at</strong> O.OS gramme per<br />

kilo body weight per day Uhis corresponds<br />

to about Tj grains per stone). When salicylic<br />

acid produced disturbance <strong>of</strong> the stomach,<br />

or other indic<strong>at</strong>ions caused him to<br />

modify the doses, he preferred to substitute<br />

aspirin in doses <strong>of</strong> ,'j gramme, gi\en six to<br />

eight times a day. With these doses bo'.h<br />

<strong>of</strong> the acid and <strong>of</strong> aspirin the body weig.it<br />

<strong>of</strong>ten increased during the medic<strong>at</strong>ion, the<br />

kidneys were not <strong>at</strong>tacked, and even during<br />

a nephritis the condition <strong>of</strong> the kidneys<br />

improved.<br />

He says th<strong>at</strong> salicylic acid acts prophylactically<br />

as far as the heart is concerned.<br />

Complic<strong>at</strong>ions such as endocarditis and<br />

pleurisy occurred less frequently when salicylic<br />

acid could be given freely from the<br />

first than in those cases in which it was<br />

withheld. He brings forward evidence to<br />

show th<strong>at</strong> this drug is not a ctirdiac poison<br />

when given as he has described.<br />

The writer deals with the actual fre-<br />

Iquency <strong>of</strong> heart affections in rheum<strong>at</strong>ic<br />

fever, and shows th<strong>at</strong> among 319 cases<br />

tre<strong>at</strong>ed by him with salicylic acid, only two<br />

left the hospital with chronic heart disease<br />

3ue to the <strong>at</strong>tack <strong>of</strong> fever for which the pa-<br />

tient had been tre<strong>at</strong>ed. Those cases which<br />

are tre<strong>at</strong>ed outside without sufficient salicylic<br />

acid, and which when admitted prove<br />

refractory toward the influence <strong>of</strong> the drug,<br />

usually do well when tre<strong>at</strong>ed by injections<br />

<strong>of</strong> {[uiniiie and anripyrin, or by intravenous<br />

injections <strong>of</strong> collargol. He compares<br />

his results with those <strong>of</strong> Hauffe, who deals<br />

with his p<strong>at</strong>ients by means <strong>of</strong> so-called<br />

physical therapy, and shows conclusively<br />

th<strong>at</strong> his results are considerably better.<br />

Role <strong>of</strong> the Placenta In Puerperal<br />

Eclampsia. — Meurice (Ann. de la Soc. de<br />

Med de C'.and) expresses the opinion th<strong>at</strong><br />

none <strong>of</strong> them s<strong>at</strong>isfy the conditions except<br />

the one which holds th<strong>at</strong> the placenta is the<br />

elabor<strong>at</strong>or <strong>of</strong> the poisons which cause the<br />

convulsive symptoms. Eclampsia is divided<br />

into three periods; originally it is the<br />

placenta which elabor<strong>at</strong>es poison; under the<br />

influence <strong>of</strong> this poison an<strong>at</strong>omop<strong>at</strong>hological<br />

alter<strong>at</strong>ions occur in the liver, kidneys,<br />

spleen and other organs; last <strong>of</strong> all comes a<br />

period in which excitomotor symptoms aie<br />

manifested, which depend <strong>at</strong> first on the<br />

influence <strong>of</strong> the toxic product on the brain,<br />

and then on the labor which plays the part<br />

<strong>of</strong> a determining cause. In some theories<br />

sight seems to be lost <strong>of</strong> the fact th<strong>at</strong><br />

eclampsia is a trouble coexistent always
