Medical. SANDER AND SONS' EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. REPORT OF DR. F. MOSLEK, PROFESSOR AT THK UNIVKRSIIY OF GREIFdWALD. Epitome of an article of the " Berliner fcil nischen Wochensch-ift" No. 21,1879, a medical periodical, published at Berlin, with references to inhalations of the Extract Euoalyptik Folis (Sander and Sons' Extract X ucalyptus) in cases of diptheria, by Dr. K. Mo?ler, professor at the University ot Greifswald, Germany, viz. : "Having experienced the advantages derived from inhalations of the extract Eucalyptus Folii in csaea of echinococcon of the luDgs with bronchial ailVctions, I made up my mind to try the same remedy in cases of Diphthebia. ' Dr s?alenz, a pupil of mine, has since, in his dissera tion, repotted the particulars of the oases treated, and I may bo allowed briefly to refor to one of ths oases enumerated therein. Ida X., of Pa^ewalk, twenty years of age, had on the 19th February, 1879, a lit of chilling fever with violent pains in her throat. She called upon a medical practitioner, wfco, recognizing at once the case to be one of diphthoritia, made her enter my klinik, where 1 had to separate her from tho other patients. The patient, woll developtd for her age, was complaining of pains in her throat, which grew worse when she en deavoured to swallow, speak, or move the nock. The submaxillar and submental glands wera much swollen, and the fever was of a remitting: nature. The condition of the patient was on tbe 22ad of February: W'armth=3o.4 C, pulse=96, respiration=2o. Prescription: Extract enc. c. foliis to be inhaled for twenty minutes osery tour. The following day the pationt threw ou small particles of oxsudat. The local appaar ances in tho pharynx grew worse, ana tho exsudais were more extended over the mucous membrane. That increase of symptoms caused, mo to augment the dose to one tea spoonful of extract enc. used for inhala tion ; also the inba-ations were continued during tho night. On the 27th catient got better and the fever had subsided. On examining tho pharynx it was easily to be noticed that the pro cess o£ diphtheritia gave way, and on the Utti c£ March tho patient was restored to health and discharged. The report in question says that the Eucalypti Extract in all cases of diphtheritles proved successful; it also seta forth cases ot laryngitis and bronchit's, chronic*, pneimonia, orouposa dextra, bo tc pharyngitis, combined with laryngitis, treated successfully with the Eucalypti Extract. (Those diseases constitute nearly all the afleo tlons ot tho throat and respiratory orgacs, most'y caused by neglected colds) - f Theabote reported cure of diphtheria, a <v- .t sease which is always attended by fever, proves tho efficacy of our Extract Kuealypma in aJ cases oi fever, and as it at the samettmedKft feots all wound", and checks anflammatioj^ wi'l be a positive cure of nearly all diso^ o j chiefly; Fevers, Rheumatism Golds, Wov"* all kinds.
