Book Description
Excerpt from Half-Yearly Abstract of the Medical Sciences, Vol. 42 From Alexandria the epidemic seems to have spread to Cairo. On July 5th it was announced that 118 deaths were due to the dis ease, 107 of them being children, while in Cairo the epidemic was stationary. On the 12th the deaths in Alexandria had fallen to 55 in the day, and the disease was declining in Cairo and the surround ing villages. It is worthy of remark, that during the course of the epidemic in Alexandria, the city was visited by a violent wind-storm from the south called chamsin. This wind began to blow on June 24th, and continued until July 6th. It is said to be extremely oppressive in its character, and it was believed to intensify the epidemic. Thus, on the first day after the occurrence of this wind the mortality rose from 183 to 193, on the next day to 208, and on the next to 214; then it began to fall day by day as follows - from 214 to 209, from 209 to 197, and from 197 to 196; then there was a sudden rise to 228, with a fall next day to 176, and on the following day to 118; rising once more - viz., on June 6th, to 132, and on the following day, being the last of the wind to 142. The reader will see from these figures that, however striking the view might appear to an Alexandrian that this depressing south wind has to do with the flue tuations of the disease, it is not a view which is very tenable. It is an almost common error into which people who live on the site of an epidemic fall, to connect any and every atmospheric phenomenon with the prevailing disorder. Too often, however, such supposed con nexion is mythical; and that it was mythical in the present instance is, we think, proved not only by the figures, but by the further intel ligence which the telegraphic despatch of July 8th brought to us. Sufficient was stated to indicate that causes sufficiently local were at work to account for all that was observed, independently of this particular southern wind. It was found that the disease made little way in the European portions of the town, and that the better class Europeans escaped almost altogether. The malady spread amongst the Arabs, who dwelt, we are told, in dwellings of the most loath some character, which were shared equally by man and beast. At the same time, the food of these people was deficient in quantity and bad in quality; while, owing to the excessive heat and the low state of the river Nile, the water they had to drink was actually putrid. These terrible evils were greatly exaggerated by personal uncleanli ness and by superstitious indifference to disease and even to death. Lastly, the independent nature of the disease, apart from the idea of the south wind, is proved by the circumstance that the disorder, attacking scarcely at all the European portions of the town, spread with great rapidity in the native villages of the Delta and in the towns of Tanta, Dhamanhur, Mansura, and Zagazig. Of course, the south wind would affect all alike, European and native; but the one class escaped while the othelr suffered.

Excerpt from The Monthly Abstract of Medical Science, 1877, Vol. 4: A Digest of the Progress of Medicine and the Collateral Sciences These facts force upon us the conclusion that intermittent fevers, even when very severe, are easily cured by subcutaneous injections of hydrobromate of qui nine, and very often by very small doses of it. Its rapidity of action is remark able, and to this rapidity is added certainty. With regard to the local effects of the injection, Dr. Raymond says that in over 300 injections no accident has occurred; very slight local swelling has sometimes been observed, but this has always rapidly disappeared without inflammation.

Excerpt from Annual of the Universal Medical Sciences, 1895, Vol. 1 IN presenting the eighth issue Of the annual to the medical profession, to whose generous support its remarkable success is due, the editor Wishes to state that his best efforts to insure the 1895 series an early appearance were again frustrated by the tardy arrival of several papers, coming, curiously enough, from members Of the editorial staff who usually were prompt. The editor, in making this statement, in no way-wishes to criticise those of his colleagues who delayed him in his work. A long medical career, general and special, has taught him what the exigencies of active work are; these it were ungenerous to overlook, especially when the task assumed by the associate editors and their collaborators is fraught with so much labor. He can therefore but find ex pressions Of thankfulness even for those members of the staff who made his task so arduous this year. To those who, by their promptness, enabled him to at all surmount the difficulties encountered, he wishes to express his deep gratitude.

Book Description
Excerpt from Annual of the Universal Medical Sciences, 1896, Vol. 2 Indeed, he regarded it as important to rid ourselves entirely of the idea of sensory cells and motor cells; but to abandon separate sensory and motor localization would, he believed, necessitate the abandonment of visual, auditory, gustatory, and other subdivisions of the cortex. The cerebro-sensory area, - that is, the area of representation for skin- and muscle- sensations, - both cortical and subcortical, would be, from his point of view, that part of the cerebrum where the fillet radiations concerned with these sensory excitations in their most compact forms are nearest to the surface of the brain, and therefore this region might continue to be destroyed as it had been by him, as in the postero-parietal, quadrate, and fornicate convolutions. Destruction of this region, especially if bilateral, caused more or less permanent loss or impairment of sensation. Dana, of New York, still held to the view (sustained last year) that the motor and sensory functions were practically united. He had directly irritated the motor cortex and produced sensory disturbance associated with motor disturbance. The whole weight of clinical evidence, the surgical operations, the tumors, and the softenings indicated that these two functions were essentially identical anatomically. Putnam, of Boston, thought that the convolutions in advance of the fissure of Rolando, the function of which we ordinarily associated with localized movements, had also to do with sensation, and that the function of sensibility was very widely distributed. He alluded to the fact that a sensation would make its way from a minute portion of the spinal cord that was left; and in the brain, if one channel were cut off, it would make its way into other channels. Sensibility would seem to be rather peculiar in the fact that it is almost always related to something else. Starr, of New York, argued that a lesion of a limited area of the so-called motor zone inevitably produced, in almost every case, more or less disturbance of sensation. He considered that he was mistaken in 1890, when he maintained that sensations were received only behind the fissure of Rolando. He believed with Dana that there were disturbances of sensation produced by small lesions anterior to the fissure of Rolando, and that the sensory area of the body corresponded exactly with the motor area, so far as could be determined clinically. Dercum, of Philadelphia, expressed the opinion that the various centres of the cortex, as we knew them clinically and pathologically, were simply highways of ingress and egress to the general cortex.
