The urine then increased to four times the amount of the fluid drunk, with great thirst and voracious hunger, especially for meat. After a few h. the urine lost its black colour. The patient emaciated considerably, but the face and feet became oedematous, and the child could eat animal food only. The urine gradually decreased and in 6 weeks the child was wel1. The swollen glands disappeared completely. (we1sse, Petersburger Verm'uchte Abhandlungen, v. 427, from Frank's Mag.) 22. A man, ast. 26, had a blister applied to side for pleuritic pain, though he said that 5 years previously he had got a gonorrhoea that lasted 5 weeks after the application of a blister. The pain disappeared. But 4 d. later, on the recurrence of the pain, he put on another blister. This was followed by a deep, profusely suppurating excoriation the size of a sixpence on the corona glandis, not of a syphilitic character. He had had no coitus for three months. Under a saturnine lotion the sore healed in 3 weeks. (hecker's Lit. Anna1. d. ges. Heilk. iv, 4. 399, from Ibid.) 23. We learn from experiment that blisters applied to the thorax of dogs and rabbits will produce redness and absolute inflammation of the pleura and peritoneum in patches distinctly corresponding to the vesicated surface of the skin. My friend Dr. Cameron has seen, after death, vascularity of the pleura in men, corresponding with blisters applied to the side a short time before death. He has met with cases in which a friction-sound has followed their application to the thorax within 24 h. after their use, no such sound having been audible before. Another physician has seen a patch of lung inflamed of the precise dimensions of a blister applied to the side. ( nman, Foundation for a New Theory and Practice of Medicine, p. 322.) ...
