The individual who finds himself in a fairly normal condition of organic equilibrium resists with success, and burns the bacillus when the latter penetrates his air passages. For this reason tuberculosis is the least contagious of all the microbe diseases. In short, the question of soil is primordial and fundamental; it occupies the first place in prophylaxis and treatment. And no therapeutist can do good work in combating phthisis who does not start from this datum. Some (as Cazeaux and Dujardin-Beaumetz) have advised that on all suitable occasions the windows of sleeping rooms should be left open at night. It has been remarked that a patient will tolerate in a horizontal position, and consequently in bed, temperatures which seem severe when one is sitting or standing. At the same time, physicians can not be too much cautioned against sending to elevated stations patients with advanced lesions and with fever. The medical treatment, while not to be neglected, is only of secondary importance; nevertheless, under the use of the classic remedies--cod-liver oil, malt extracts, arsenic, creosote, tannin, hypophosphites, alcohol, cinchona, and nux vomica--one will often witness an augmentation of weight and favorable modifications in the local signs. As adjuvants, inhalations, now no longer relied on as curative, may produce some amelioration. In early phthisis there is much hope in climatotherapy, and this is unfortunately the principal hope. Such are the principles of treatment which have given me what little success I have ever had, in a practice extending over more than a quarter of a century. Knowing that tuberculosis is simply a blight which smites imperfectly nourished tissue. . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN.<
