The Pathology of Diptheria’

A physician says : A lady writes us, asking several questions upon this sub- ject She says the disease is quite pre- valent in her lecality. Her first ques- tion is, “ Are ‘ Diptheria’ and ‘putrid

‘the public mind, but, with a devotion |

sore throat’ the same?” Second, “If death is caused from choking—apned —-or un inability to get breath?”

Yo her first question | answer ‘Yes. I know the laity (and some not over- well-posted doctors, too,) make él dis- tinction from simply a difference in the severity of the complaint in two or more cases; calling the more violent eases of diptheria * putrid sore throat.’

The disease is a constitutional one. The throat is only one place out of many in which it gives us a ‘ local’ appear- ance. It attacks all mucous #urfaces— ear, eye, mouth, nose, esophagus, stom- ach, rectum, vagina, ete.—indifferently. it may be in any two or three of these localities in the same person at once. It also shows itself'on any abraded sur- face of an afflicted individual.

The most general seat, however, is on the fauces (throat); yet cases are on record where, although, evident in other parts of the same patient, there was no throat complaint.

Locally, then, the expression of the disease is but an inflammation of the mucous membrane with an exudation of an organoziete (fibrinous) lymph. ‘his shortly ‘organizes ’ (consolidates) to the laden orashen-colored membrane that is pathognomonic of the complaint. This membrane you find wherever the inflammatory process is set up, and it can be readily pulled off, leaving the raw surface beneath. Sometimes it gets to be very thick. It is the abundance of this membrane in the trachea and bronchial tubes that causes death by ‘ strangulation ; ’ age of air mechanically.

{fo answer her second question: In some cases itis; in others it is not.

Sometimes death occurs within forty- eight hours, and before this exudation is poured out from the inflamed surface, anywhere. Again, when the disease does not attack the larynx or trachea, ‘choking to death’ is impossible. Death, in the majority of cases in chil- dren. does, however, occur as she indi- cates. In older persons death by as- thenia (a gradual wasting of the power of life) is full as common.

The disease is one of excessive vomit- ing frequently, and loathing of food ; hence, unless you are careful, your pa- tient verily starves to death. Again, some deaths are from nervous lesions —a paralysis somewhere—as for in- stance of the nerve of organic life to the heart. Again, the blood (which is normally supplied with fibrine) has the fibrine notably increased; so much so thateit clots in the heart, thus causing death.

[t is by no means so frequent a dis- ease as is supposed. Other throat in- tlammations are very frequently called diphtheria, either through a careless diagnosis or an unlaudable motive of the attendant. Babies always have “croup,” you know, yet I venture my life that not one in a@ hundred ever had any sach disease. Babies with croup are sick, and not generally nine hundred and ninety-nine out of a thou- sand get well. So with diphtheria, yet cases sometimes are very mild.

[ give no treatment, as it is a disease that only a physician should take

hold of.

Sir John Franklin.

Nearly thirty years ago an English expedition sailed far into the arctic seas. There were two vessels, the Erebus and the Terror, commanded by Sir John Franklin and Captain Crosier. The mysterious fate of these ships and their crews has never been known in detail, but it has passed into history that all perished. ‘The vessels reached the east- ern coast of Davis strait in safety, and were last see moored to a mass of floating ice in about 76 deg. north lati tude’ No special fears for the safety of the party were felt until 1848; after- ward successive expeditions went out in search of them. At that time began the efforts which Lady Franklin has never ceased to make in hope of obtaining some news of ber husband. And recent- $y she has renewed the offer of a re- ward of $10,000, and such other induce- ments as are within her power to make, for the recovery of the records of the Long ago she was convinc- ed of her husband’s death. In 1860 a! tin ease was found beneath a heap of stones on a desolate island, and it con tained a document stating that Sir John! Franklin had died in June, 1847, that. the ships had been deserted, and that! 105 of the survivors had started to! reach the Fish river. And here a dark: curtain has fallen, hiding their fate from view. Lady Franklin believes that the: records of the expedition were buried. not far from the spot where the ships: were abandoned, and may yet be found- and also that some documents may be. in the possession of the Esc u’maux,

The Greatest Medical Discovery since the Creation of Man, or since the Commencement of the Christian Era.

There never has been a time when the heal- ing of so many different diseases has been caused by outward application as the present. It is an undisputed fact that over half of the entire population of the globe resort to the use of ordinary plasters.

Dr. MELVIN’s Capsicum Porous PLASTERS are acknowledged by all who have used them, to act quicker than any other plaster they ever before tried, and that one of these plasters will do more real service than a hundred of the ordinary kind. All other plasters are slow of action, and require to be worn continualiy to effect acure; but with these it is entirely dif- ferent: the instant one is applied the patient will feel ita effect.

Physicians in all ages have thoroughly tested and well know the effect of Capsicum; and it has always been more or less used as a medical agent for an outward application; but

it is only of very recent date that its advan- | tages in a porous plaster have been discovered. Being, however, convineed of the wonderful eures effected by Dr. MeLvrn’s Capsicum Porous PLASTERS, and their superiority over all other plasters, they now actually prescribe them, in their practice, for such diseases as rheumatism, pain in the side and back, and all such cases as have required the use of plasters orliniment. After you have tried other plas- ters and liniments, and they have failed, and you want a certain cure, ask your druggist for

R. MELVIN’S CAPSICUM POROUS PLASTER. You ean hardly believe yourown convictions of its wonderful effects. Although powerful and | uick in its action, you can rely on its safety or the most delicate person to wear, as it is | {ree from lead and other poisonous material

commonly used in the manufacture ef ordi:- ary plasters. One trial is a sufficient guarantee of ita merits, and one plaster will sell hundreds to your friends.

Ask your druggist for Dr. MELVIN’s CAPsI- cum Porous PLAsTER, and fake no other; or, on receipt of 25 cents for one, $1 for five, or $2 for a dozen, they will be mailed, post paid, te any address in the United States or Canadas.
