Oedema for "dropsy" of Rings from passive congestion. The nocturnal frequency might be from prostatic trouble, nervousness or nephritis—microscope suggested nephritis. Snapping closure of aortic valve might mean high blood pressure in arteries, aneurysm, arteriosclerosis, excitement, nephritis—puffy ankles again whispered nephritis. Enlarged heart might be a sign of arteriosclerosis, athletic training, extreme hard work in physical exertion or nephritis—failing eyesight once more hinted nephritis. Well, just ten years later there were entered upon the lawyer's case report these data:
Found unconscious in bed in hotel. Died three days later. Autopsy showed chronic nephritis (Bright's disease) and hypertrophied (enlarged) heart.
And for just ten years that lawyer laughed at his doctor's advocacy of ecstasies for a hard-working lawyer.
Sense for Chloroform.
A girl, aged five, appears the size and mental equal of a child of two years. She has had rickets for two years. She eats heartily and sleeps much of the time. But she doesn't grow mentally or physically, can you suggest anything to do for her?
Answer? Yes. Ask your doctor if he thinks a course of treatment with thymus gland extract isn't worth while. A six weeks' trial of it would not do any harm, at least, if the doctor could see her regularly each week.
Specialism Running Wild.
