Excerpt from Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. 32: August, 1892, to July, 1893 IN A former paper read before this society, entitled Puerperal Fever, the febrile condition not due to septic infection, which complicate the lying-in period, were discussed. In this paper I shall endeavor to excite a discussion of the etiology of puerperal fever due to septicemic processes, and more properly named puer peral septicemia. Omitting all discussion of predisposing causes, it may be stated that the exciting cause of puerperal septicemia is the lodge ment of pathogenic bacteria in the maternal secretions and tissues, and, therefore, we have to discuss their modes of entry. From the teaching of some men who hold that all cases of puer peral septicemia can be prevented, it follows that the obstetrician is wholly blameworthy who finds one of his patients afflicted with septic invasion. I well remember the fear and trepidation with which I watched my first puerperal cases after studying the extreme views expressed by Dr. Garrigues in his book entitled Antiseptic Midwifery. Since then I have seen that the most care f ui physicians do meet with cases of puerperal sepsis, and usually these cases have developed just where the obstetrician was most observant of antisepsis, or had least reason to expect such trouble In hospital as in private practice, antiseptic measures have nearly exterminated childbed fever, yet the spectre still stalks abroad occasionally in the practice of even the most radical advocate of antiseptic care during the puerperium. If, then, we decide that rigid asepsis and antisepsis do not always insure against the septic infection of lying-in patients, it follows that the physician is not always responsible for the entry of pathogenic bacteria, and the question arises as to how such bacteria gain access to the system.

Excerpt from The Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. 20: November, 1880 Rest, with a mild diuretic, and a dose Of bromide of potassium, has often tided me over such attacks. The brisk secretion of urine appears to lessen the irritability Of the kidney, and copious draughts of pure or mildly alkaline water relieves the patient. Sydenham enthusiastically advocates the use of beer TO cool Off the ardent humors that remain in the kidneys and produce stone.' Segalas and more recent writers re-inforce this state ment. I found that beer aggravated these symptoms, as did sour Wine and cider. Most writers pronounce beer and all fermented drinks injurious. Sydenham having experienced personal benefit from the frequent use of cathartics, recommends the use Of manna and lemon juice. (this acted unfavorably in my own case where the stone was oxalate of lime.) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal, 1888, Vol. 23 In 1826 Dr. John Davy recognized it in the atmosphere and published a formula for the preparation of chemical tests for its detection. In 1839, Christian Frederick Schonbein, Professor of Chem istry at Basle, and the inventor of gun-cotton, while engaged in some experiments on the decomposition of water by voltaic electricity, was astonished at the development of a peculiar odor similar to that emitted during discharges from the electrical machine. He showed that it was due to the existence of a body possessing, like oxygen, the property of most readily entering into chemical combinations. His announcement of this, and subsequent communications, drew the attention of the scientific world to the remarkable properties of this rediscovered body which he named ozone, from a Greek word signifying to emit an odor. During the forty years which have since elapsed, most of the scientists of the century have studied ozone, and I only refrain from giving their names and special discoveries from lack of space. Over and above them all, by common consent, towers the name of Schonbein, whose preliminary discoveries invited attention to its study, and whose zeal never wavered till his grand genius passed on to that illimitable existence where all mysteries are explained.

Excerpt from Buffalo Medical and Surgical Journal, Vol. 30: August, 1890, to July, 1891 Tucker Randt injected a substance (in the presence of Politzer) into the diploe of the mastoid process, and of the pyramidal por tion of the petrous bone, which at once entered into the sinuses of the brain. It has also been found that three-fourths of the abscesses of the brain are in the temporo-sphenoidal lobes. Fracture of this bone from gun-shot is almost always followed by a profound deafness of one side, but more rarely by contra-coup of the other side. A very severe blow on one side will at times be recovered from. The following is the statement of the case I now present, in a letter from the surgeon, Dr. D. P. Miller, of Huntingdon, Pa. I take the liberty of asking your Opinion of the following case, and whether or not you think it can be benefited.
