Opsonins and Bacterial Ross (Canadian Vaccine Therapy. Journal of Medicine and Surgery, April, 1908) gives the following opinions concerning this timely subject: "My opinions are founded on over two years of practical experience in the treatment of a considerable number of affections due to a variety of micro-organisms. I may state that I have endeavored to analyze all my results coldly and critically, with a due allowance for coincidence and the intervention of other, though unknown, agencies. Nevertheless, I find my belief firmly established that proper inoculation with appropriate bacterial vaccines is a powerful expedient for the cure or control of many diseases due to micro-organisms. To my own mind the evidence in favor of this belief is almost overwhelming. Concerning the relation of the opsonic theory to inoculation, however, there is considerable difference of opinion. I cannot discuss this question now, but my opinion is that though estimation of the opsonic index is often unnecessary, still such investigation has been and still is of great service in enabling us to determine the dosage of a particular vaccine and the appropriate time for inoculation and reinoculation when we are in doubt. That the method of estimating the opsonic index is mathematically accurate few would have the temerity to claim, but that it is sufficiently sc to serve as a useful guide in the practical application of vaccine therapy to the treatment of disease few therapeutists who have used the methods over a sufficient length of time to justfy an opinion will deny. As a practical physician, however, I am concerned with the cure or control of bacterial disease, and I am chiefly interested in opsonic methods of investigation because I believe that they do assist me in obtaining a successful issue in certain difficult cases where in default of these methods I could use bacterial vaccines neither safely nor intelligently." The Treatment of Stockton (American Gastric Ulcer. Journal of the Medical Sciences, December, 1907) discusses the treatment of gastric ulcer thus: In the treatment of acute gastric ulcer the great need is, first, early diagnosis, and second, strict discipline in enforcing proper diet and relief of hyperacidity for a prolonged period. When these requirements are fulfilled there is, as a rule, little trouble in bringing about immediate relief of symptoms and ultimate cure. In cases of bleeding, body |
