AN INTERNATIONAL MONTHLY REVIEW OF CURRENT MEDICAL LITERATURE

Vol. XIV

DECEMBER 25, 1908.

No. 12

THE PROGRESS OF MEDICAL SCIENCE.

The Treatment of
Chronic Nephritis.

GENERAL MEDICINE.

UNDER THE CHARGE OF

HENRY H. PELTON, M.A., M.D.,

Wilcox (Monthly
Cyclopedia of Prac-

tical Medicine and Medical Bulletin, Sep-
tember, 1908), gives the following very
practical points:

The diet must be regulated in quantity and quality of all elements which are necessary for food: (1) Inorganic elements which act mechanically. (2) Heat producers, such as starches, sugars, fats. (3) Proteids and tissue builders, such as beef, eggs and milk. (4) The nucleoalbumins for phosphorus, for hæmoglobin and lecithin. Wheat, beef, and milk do not contain a sufficient quantity of the nucleo-albumins for complete tissue builders.

Hygienic conditions are suggestive, subject to much modification, as exercise in the open air, clothing, mental and physical rest, and avoidance of overtaxing digestion, especially at night. Of medicinal treatment it may be found that the diminution of sodium chloride ingestion in marked anasarca yields pronounced results, which are readily verified by weighing at regular intervals. Strontium lactate, from one-half to two drams daily, not in acute exacerbations, however, markedly diminishes albuminuria. Iron is generally useful. For arterial nephritis erythrol tetranitrate of the British Pharmacopoeial Conference, in from 1-10 to 2-grain doses, several times daily, is

physiologically
physiologically a nitrite, and is suitable
for prolonged use. Strontium lactate is
not useful nor indicated. Of special
symptoms, uræmia, is best combated by
high intestinal irrigations: three gallons
of normal saline solution, at a tempera-
ture of 115° to 120° F., through a 12-inch
rectal tube under three feet of hydrostatic
pressure. The normal saline, accurately,
is sodium chloride, 0.9; calcium chloride,
0.026; potassium chloride, 0.01, with
water to 100. Convulsions in old subjects
generally mean sudden colon bacillus
invasion, and call for calomel in small and
frequent doses. Later, hexamethylamine
and sodium benzoate, of each 10 grains,
may be given every three hours.

Coma may be treated by an intravenous saline transfusion after a preliminary venesection. Twenty minims of tincture of veratrum every 15 minutes to six doses, is often satisfactory. Dyspnoea of the nocturnal variety requires the vasodilators. Rarely hydrated chloral is permissible, but its use is to be deprecated.

Renal decapsulation has been a sufficiently long time before the profession for a final judgment. It is clearly useless in arterial nephritis when this is a local manisfestation of a general pathological process.

Guiteras' conclusions from 120 cases, operated on by 42 different surgeons, seem fair: "1. Finally, I may say that I
