Typhoid Fever.

ITS ORTHODOX TREATMENT BY THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.

(To the Editor of the Star.) Sn?,~lf any of your readers expect me upon this occasion to "run a muck "or launch out into a tirade of abuse against the members of the medical profession here or elsewhere, I am afraid they will be disappointed. Owing, as I believe I do, my own recovery from a Bevere attack of fever on the Thames, in great part to the constant care and attention of Dr Kilgour, there resident, and having by God's blessing escaped from a second attack of the same since I have been in Auckland, simply and solely by the use of the means which I shall endeavour to indicate in your next issue, it would not become me rashly to speak ill of a class of persons from whom I have almost uniformly received consideration and kindness. If from personal, practical, and theoretical experience, I venture to differ from those admittedly my seniors in age, experience, and position, if, in point of fact, " I speak as a fool, yet as a fool receive me that I may boast myself a little."

I am not about to enter into a detailed account of the medical treatment of fever; such an account would occupy too much space in a public newspaper. My object is to pick out one or two salient points of attack, not on individuals, but on the system pursued, in order to point out to the medical profession themselves, if I may be so bold, the absolute incompatibility of the system, or want of system they pursue, with the teach ings and guidance Nature lays down for them.

Gentlemen of the medical profession : How do you treat fever? You are called in to see a patient with all the symptoms of incipient fever ; how do you proceed ? You admit that you are not able to distinguish, in the first stage of the fever, whether it be simply low fever, typhoid, typhus, or one of " many other diseases." You believe that by some means or other, a germ or virus of some one or other of these diseases, has obtained an entrance into the system of the patient before you, and that it is there germinating like a viper's egg. And how do you proceed to destroy it ? Your patient has yet a respite before it breaks out in its fury. How do you utilise the interval ? You cannot give any specific medicine to destroy it, because you' do not know what class or kind of fever the virus or germ belongs to. Under these circumstances you proceed to do, gentlemen, all that you can do ; you wait and watch, but unfortu nately delay is bnt defeat. You place the patient in the most favourable circumstances you can for bearing the attack, and you give him " cooling medicines" accompanied, in all probability, by a mercurial, such as calomel, or grey powder, aud that does the business.

Why ; what harm does that do ? Simply this gentleman: The patient is already labor ing nnder a disease (low fever) which, if it is, characterized by anything, is characterized by lowness, prostration, weakness, and debility, and you give (with the very excel lent intention of , but there, it is not for me to analyse your intention) a medicine which, with the single exception of tartar emetic, is the most lowering, prostrating, weakening, and debilitating medicine in the Pharmacopeia. Gentlemen, are you homoeo paths ? This is homeopathic treatment, but why do you not, if so, stick to homceooathic doses? Now, what is the result? If the patient waa not on his back before, he is now, for nature's powers were occupied in grap pling with the foe, and might have succeeded in expelling it, but you have lowered the powers of nature, and she sinks back exhaus ted. Why don't you bleed ? you used to do, and the principle of action of the calomel, and even of the cooling medicines is precisely the same as bleeding, but bleeding is gone out of fashion, because, as Dr Bowman remarks, out of 74 patients bled, 35 died, and he goes on to cay, " The utmost that can be said for bleeding is that in mild cases It may be prac tised with impunity." Why then give modi cines whose principle of action is the same as the above fatal practice ? The most success ful allopathic doctors have usually been those who, in the first stages of fever, nurse care fully, give the least medicine, and interfere the least with nature. But I will give you another reason against the use of calomel, or indeed of any aperient as a preparatory dose for other treatment in J fever cases. The stomach is the seat of most 1 of the foul acids generated in early fever. Why then should you carry downwards the irritating and corrosive matters into the long gut, when at the outset they can, be so easily ejected otherwise ? But why should not simple cooling medi cines be given in the early stage of fever ? They are not injurious, and surely it is right, Mr Clayton, even on your own theory of fer mentation, by cooling the body to retard the progress of the disease ? Gentlemen, it is not right to give cooling, or so-called cooling medicines in such a case. Nature is endea vouring by every means in her power (with an object of her own in view) to raise the temperature of the body. What may be her object, pardon me, you have not considered, bnt that she is doing so in every way she can is evident; and she is fighting against di sease ! Pity, pity, gentlemen, that by your giving cooling medicines she should have to fight against you teo ! Now, gentlemen, as the case proceeds, you find that nature requires a stimulant, and you prescribe brandy. So you did, gentle men, in the meaales, and lots of sore eyes, blotched faces, and little mounds in the ceme tery remain over from the measle business. I don't find Dr. Bowman recommend brandy, yet he recommends "a powerful stimulant treatment from the very com mencement of the disease," and further says, " The patient must be supported from the very commencement with wine, tether, broths, &c. ; at least," saya the doctor, " when the patient has been treated differ ently he has died 1!!" But why not brandy? Take a healthy individual, gentlemen, and dose him regularly with " aqua vitas" (" aq. mortis," it ought to be). Give him two table-spoonfuls or a wine-glassful of it every four hours, shaking the bottle freely, or if you please " ad libitum," and see how soon you will have a fever patient with a " typhoid condition of the system," and a germ or virus all ready implanted ready to do the dirty work of death on the first provocation. Homoeopathy, Gentlemen ! "like cures like," "what gives disease will cure the same," but why in the world don't you give brandy in homoeopathic doses ? Dr Bowman instances ten grains of camphor in solution night and morning as a highly successful stimulant, and in any case, there are abund ance of harmless and beneficial atimulants in the pharmacopeia, without flying to brandy, which is but a narcotic stimulant at best, and unsnited to a stomach already weakened by disease.

In the choice o! food, gentlemen, with which you supply the debilitated stsmach of a fever patient, I consider you, in one in stance at any rate, most particularly unfor tunate. I am told that it is your custom to order for fever patienta as a diet light and easy of digestion, milk twice or three times a day. Pardon, gentlemen, my presumption and ignorance, but milk in the stomach of a fever patient previous to convalescence is rank [poison. And why? The disease is a disease of putrefactive fermentation genera ting foul acids, the presence of which in the stomach you recognise by the foul-coated tongue. What becomos of a tumbler of milk into which is poured a quantity of vinegar or other acid ? Is it not curdled im mediately and converted into raw cheesy matter, to digest which is to the diseased stomach of a fever patient perfectly impos-

Bible,?? There is then no possibility of nature disposing of it otherwise than by vomiting or purging : and I venture to say that you never order milk for your fever patients, pre vious to the period of convalescence, without having to order afterwards a mixture of chalk and opium or some equivalent thereto, in order to counteract the diarrhoea and dysentry which the above treatment has set up.

Gentlemen, I have done with this portion of my subject. I have spoken freely and without personality. If I have erred, pardon me. If I am wrong, show me ; and to morrow, Mr Editor, with your permission, I will conclude, my subject.—l am, sir, yours, etc.^ Henry Clayton, Ph. Chemist. Victoria-street.

CITY COUNCIL.-This Day.

An ordinary meeting of the City Council was held this afternoon in the Council Chambers. Present: His Worship the Mayor (chair), Councillors Daldy, Pnme, Cosgrave, Isaacs, Hurst, Goldie, Boldship, and Brett. MINUTES. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and confirmed. HEW MEMBERS. Mr David Goldie took hia seat and acceded to the necessary form. His Worship welcomed Councillor Goldie to the Council, and believed he would prove a useful member of the Council.! Councillor Goldie said at all events he should be a punctaal one. APPLICATION. An application was read from Mr Dornwoll for a verandah light. Granted. SIttSSRS T.TGELOAV. A communication was read from Messrs Bigelow respecting some alterations on their premises, trusting that whatever they had Jone was not in opposition to the will of the Council. Councillor Daldy movedj and Councillor Goldie seconded " That the permit be granted." Carried. COBURG PLACE. An answer was read from the City Com missioners to the effect that they decline to accede to the request of the Mayor to make an entrance into Coburg Place. THE TEWORAPTT INCONVENIENCE. A letter was read from Mr Lemon, Chief of the Telegraph Department, stating that it was at present impossible to have a re ceiving room on the ground floor of the Auckland office. WET.LESLEY-STREET. An application from Mr Gibbons for sotue repairs in Weliesley-street was received. MR. ERRING-TON. A letter from Mr Errington calling atten tion to statements relative to water supply in the EvMNING Star of the 7th hist., was read. The writer begged that a Committee of En quiry might be appointed upon the subject. The Mayor said it would be necessary to take some coguisanco of the letter. He would propose that a committee of four, with himself as mover should be chosen, to in vestigate the matter. It was due to themselves, to the ratepayers and the engineer that an enquiry should be held. He thought it would be the fairest way to choose the committee by ballot.

Councillor Cosgr&ve agreed with the Mayor. He begged to second the motion. Councillor Hurst moved that the enquiry should be made by a full meeting of the Council. They were all implicated in the charge that £5000 of the ratepayers' money had been wasted, and it was due to them selves that they all should have an oppor tunity of rebutting rhe charge.

Councillor Holdship agreed with Mr Hurst, and seconded his amendment. Councillor Baldy said he should be quite ready to acquiesce in either proposal, but he was against any meeting at all being held till it W!.s specified what wera the particular charges made. Mr Errington had placed them in a very awkward position by not giving him the names of his accusers.

Councillor Hurst said it was worth while considering whether Councillor Daldy's idea had not better bo followed out. It would perhap3 be best to take no notice of the affair till specific charges were made. They would have enough to do if they took notice of every paragraph that appeared in the papers. Mr Goldie said he advocated the proposal made by the Mayor. From enquiries be had made he was inclined to think there was something in the charges. He had spoken to one of the sub-contractors of the Water works and he had told him that he was work ing on specifications quite different to those he had tendered on. He had more work to do than he bargained for. If this was possible, it waa possible for men to do less work than they paid them for. On the votes boing taken for the full meet ing or the committee, the Mayor's motion for a committee was carried.

On the ballot for the committee, Council lors Cosgrave, Goldie, Brett, and Yon der Heyde, with the Mayor, were appointed a committee of enquiry.
