Show Sokk Throat. Tho Pacific Medi. cal Journal lays of a remedy for this t disease ; j It is bisulphite soda, in large and continuous doses. Diptheria, inflammation inflam-mation of tho tonsils, and quinsy Lhrou?h local exhibitions, have their source in poisonous fermentations of the blood, the same as scarlet fever and other zymotic diseases. It is held that the salt prescribed enters into the circulation and retards putrefactive fermentation. Dr. Tyrell failed of success suc-cess when he administered it in small doses and in thirty-hour intervals; but when he gave thirty-grain doses every hour, day and night, bo as to saturate the system with tho salt, he was almost invariably successful in removing all the severe symptoms in twenty-four hours. The object of publication is to induce physicians to give this medicine a trial, that the curative effects may have more extended proofs. |
