Keep Your Liberty Bonds

HOL

OLD to that bond. You invested to help send the boys across. They are over now, at grips with the German monster. You expect them to hold on-hold on till the last vestige of autocracy is crushed out of him. Then you, too, must hold on-must keep your enlisted dollars invested on the fighting line.

It isn't the hooray of a campaign that wins a war. It's the will to hang on, to make sacrifice today, that tomorrow may bring victory.

And your investment. Those bonds are the safest investment you ever made. Don't be lured into exchanging them for the "securities" of some suave get-richquick operator. Big returns may be promised but the bigger the promised returns the bigger the risk.

If you have to have money, take your bond to any bank and use it as collateral for a loan. There is no security the banker would rather have-nothing on which be will lend more willingly.

Don't use bonds to buy merchandise. The average merchant, accepting your bond in trade, sells them immediately, thus tending to lower their market price and taking away from the buyer of your bond the ability to lend a corresponding amount of money to his Government. Liberty Bonds are meant to help your country at War; are meant for investment and to provide an incentive for saving and a provision for the rainy day.

Hold fast to your Liberty Bonds. Hold fast for the sake of the boys "Over There." Hold fast because it is good business.

Diphtheria Antitoxin (Lilly)-Our readers' attention is called, elsewhere in this issue, to a recent announcement of considerable importance to the profession having to do with Diphtheria Antitoxin, Lilly. Despite government regulations there is possible a wide range of difference in antitoxins, and distribution and packages differ as well. Diphtheria Antitoxin, Lilly, is now supplied in one type of package and at an attractive price. It is a purified, highly concentrated product, only the globulins containing the antitoxic bodies being used. Diphtheria Antitoxin, Lilly, is .easy to secure through the drug trade from stocks kept under proper storage conditions.

Sleep Without Bad After-Effects-The advantage of Pasadyne (Daniel) as a sleep-producing agent does not lie solely in its therapeutic power, but also in the fact that no bad effects follow its use. Thus, in marked insomnia Pasadyne (Daniel) may be given in full dosage and repeated without fear that disagreeable results will ensue. Pasadyne (Daniel) possesses in high degree the power to sedate the higher centres, a feature that makes it of the utmost value in all conditions marked by sleeplessness or nervous excitability. And the prescriber may feel sure that no habit will be caused by its administration, even when continued over long periods. A sample bottle of Pasadyne (Daniel) may be had by addressing the laboratory of John B. Daniel, Inc., Atlanta, Ga.

The Therapy of Neurotic States-The bromides have served no more useful purpose than in those unstable nervous states so frequently met with in women, and yet owing to this very instability their administration must be supervised with the greatest care if the patient is to be guarded from the disadvantages which accompany the use of these salts. The fact that Bromida (Battle) represents the therapeutic height of the bromides and is free from their disagreeable side effects, has made this bromide preparation a great favorite in the treatment of female neuroses. From it may be expected the full therapeutic effect of the bromides with the further advantage of freedom from the untoward effects of hastily prepared bromide mixtures. Gastric intolerance is obviated by the extreme care exercised in choosing the contained drugs in Bromida (Battle) and in compounding them.

The Vaccine Treatment of Hay Fever-(By G. H. Sherman, M. D., Detroit, Mich.) It will not be long

until hay fever victims will again seek relief from their suffering. Unfortunately, the endless variety of drugs and local treatments that have been applied for this ailment have been so unsatisfactory that most hay fever victims have abandoned consulting doctors and simply tolerate the disease as best they can until the season is over with. This does not apply, however, to those who have given the vaccine treatment a trial. Hay fever victims find that this treatment either prevents or aborts the attack or gives such relief that they come back for the same treatment when the season again approaches. The writer has made some special efforts to obtain reliable information concerning the comparative virtues of pollen and bacterial vaccines in the treatment of hay fever and has found that bacterial vaccines give by far the best results. This shows that pollen irritation is not the only etiologic factor in hay fever and that irritation from pathogenic organ isms also plays an important part in the disease. In fact, are common in irritated tissues, no differ ence what the source of the irritation is and, conse quently, aggravate and prolong the irritation. That is what undoubtedly happens in hay fever. Pollen and the dry dust-laden air irritate the respiratory mucus membrane. After this irritation is started. pyogenic organisms normally present find conditions suitable for growth and multiplication with a resulting increased irritation. The germs usually responsible for this irritation are the streptococcus, pneumococcus, staphylococcus and micrococcus catarrhalis, the same organisms that are responsible for most of our colds. For this reason the same vaccine usually employed in the treatment of colds (Sherman's No. 40) is also successfully employed in the treatment of hay fever. Treatment should be started by giving the vaccine a few weeks before the usual onset of symptoms. By this means the attack will often be entirely avoided. The vaccine should be given at four or five day intervals, starting with .5 mil. and increasing the dose to 1 mil. In some cases that have received this preliminary treatment. hay fever will set in with the usual pronounced symptoms, but if the vaccine injections are contin ued at three or four day intervals in 1 mil. doses, the symptoms will soon subside or become much modified. Good results are also obtained after the hay fever has progressed for several weeks, but in such cases it is necessary to give 1 mil. doses at three or four day intervals until the acute symptoms are under control and at four to seven days after that. If marked improvement does not take place after three or four treatments, a bacterial examination should be made to determine the presence of unusual organisms and if present a corresponding vaccine be employed or an autogenous vaccine pre and given.

Give one to three ounces every hour or two, according to the age of
the baby, continuing until stools lessen in number and improve in character.
Milk, preferably skimmed, may then be substituted for water-one
ounce each day—until regular proportions of milk and water, adapted to
the
age of the baby, are reached.

Dressings in Suppurating Wounds-The healing of suppurating wounds may be expediated in a marked degree by the use of Ecthol (Battle). In addition to a germicidal influence it adds to cellular resistance, as a result of which the luxuriant germ growth becomes inhibited, until finally the purulent process becomes reduced to the point where the resistance of the involved tissues turns the tide toward healthy granulation. Where such wounds are of more than ordinary size or severity, the internal administration of Ecthol has proven a most useful adjunct to the local treatment.

The Disinfection of Milk-Milk is one of the most unclean of all the foods that appear on the average table, says a writer in Good Health (May, 1918). In many cases, every drop contains a million germs, or more. Water containing one-tenth as many would be promptly rejected as absolutely unfit for use. Even "certified" milk is permitted to contain 10,000 germs to the cubic centimeter, perhaps a thousand to each drop. These germs are the cause of diarrheas in young infants and are responsible for tens of thousands of untimely deaths each and every year. Evidently milk needs disinfection, but how can this be done safely? Boiling destroys the precious vitamines and so is out of the question. Pasteurizing is scercaly safe. The fortunate discovery has been made that that remarkable oxygen compound, the peroxide of hydrogen (H2O2) which contains two atoms of oxygen in each molecule, double the amount contained in water (H2O), may be safely used for this purpose. It has been found that when this wonderful compound is added to warm milk the extra oxygen atom escapes and destroys the germs. But this only occurs if the milk has not been boiled. It is necessary that the living enzymes of the milk should be present. This process was first used in Sweden, where it is extensively employed in preparing milk for shipment to other countries. In experiments made in the bacteriological laboratory of the Battle Creek Sanitarium it was found that milk treated by this process could be kept in a room, at ordinary temperature, without souring, for more than a week. The process is exceedingly simple. The milk is heated to about one hundred and twenty degrees. One to four drams of Oioxogen is then added for each pound of milk and the temperature maintained for about fiftten minutes. The milk is then cooled and kept on ice or in a cool place. Should there be a need for keeping it several weeks, three or four drams of Dioxogen should be used instead of one. This plan of disinfecting milk has been in use for several years in the Children's Department of one of the largest hospitals in Chicago, and with the very best results. Many creameries are already using it to improve the keeping

properties of their products. For preparing milk to take on a journey of several days this method is especially excellent. The addition of Dioxogen does not alter the flavor of the milk and in no way injures any of its valuable food properties. There is one point that has always to be considered and that is the fact that after the Dioxogen has been added the milk must be carefully and thoroughly agitated. It took a long series of experiments to prove that agitation was an absolute essential.

Armour and Company Announce New ProductThromboplastin Solution Thromboplastin Solution (Armour) is a specific hemostatic, made exclusively from brain tissue of cattle. In the usual routine of the abattoir, the animals are stunned by a blow on the head which produces immediate unconsciousness. This process, however, causes considerable injuries to the brain tissues, with consequent severe cerebral hemorrhage and formation of blood clots which are difficult to remove. This procedure, therefore, ren ders the commercial cattle brains undesirable for the manufacture of thromboplastin in preparations The material employed in Armour's Thromboplastin Solution is selected from cattle slaughtered without injury to the brains. The brain tissues are removed immediately after the brains are bled, and carefully trimmed, washed and cleaned. From this raw material an isotonic solution is made containing the hemostatic principles in active and stable form. The solution is standardized physiologically on oxalated blood plasma and guaranteed to be of full thera-, peutic strength if used within the time limit stamped on each package. Thromboplastin Solution is useful when applied locally in the treatment of hemorrhage and especially hemorrhage from oozing surfaces, scar tissue, and nose, and in surgery of the bones, glands, nose and throat. It has proved of value inj well checking gastric as rectal hemorrhage Thromboplastin Solution is considered an excellent hemostatic in true hemophilia. In certain cases of dental surgery when direct application does n check the hemorrhage, the Thromboplastin Soluti may be boiled and injected into the site of the blee ing. Thromboplastin Solution should be stored a cool dark place. Thromboplastin Solution may sprayed on the bleeding surface or applied directly by means of gauze or cotton.
