A New Cure for Consumption. _ Q i . The remedy " aseptolin," recently discovered for pulmonary disease, is being rapidly introduced in the American hospitals and in private practice. The reports are that almost immediate beneficial effects are apparent from its use— cessation of cough, increase of flesh, and refreshing sleep. It is a combination ol phenol (carbolic acid) with other snb' stances. The compound used by Dr. Edeon, the discoverer, consists of a solution, in pure water, or a compound of phenol with less than one-hundredth part of a chemical called pilocarpine-phenyl-hy-drosid. The addition of this compound pilocarpine serves to counteract the isl effect the phenol would produce if used alone. Dr Edson's discription of the appearance and effect of his new remedy is as follows — " The solution prepared in my laboratory is a colourless fluid, strongly refracting light, haying the characteristic odour and taste of phenol. Injected under' the skin it causes a sharp burning pain, not so severe as that following an injection of bi-chloride of mercury in solution. In the great majority of cases the injection is not followed by any local irritation whatever. In a few a small nodule appears at the point of injection, which as a rule dissappears after \ a few days. . . The effect of the solution when injected into the organism of a patient suffering from disease caused by active germ injection is to directly inhibit bacterial development, and consequently to diminish the production of poisonous bacterial products." Mrs Hushmore— You'll have to settle up or leaye. Summer Boarder — Thank's awfully. The last place I was at they made me do both. ...,,„,,..- Advertisements BICYCLE RACES, ON THE FEILDING OVAL.
