Epso nl Salts It is not often that a Medical Journal will quote Poiso nin g from the publicatio ns of a general hospital to show up the possible harm in certain drug procedures, and especially is it interesting to find such a confession when it concerns a drug that is so generally conceded to be harmless as M agnesium Sul­ phate or Epsom Salts . However, in t he Columbus Medical J ournal of last month we notice the followi ng statement: "It is certain that Epsom Salts under certain conditions may prove to be poisonous," and further

we read that the wr iter is prepared to H quote three cases given in the publications of the ) Iassachusetts General Hospital of October, 1911. The cases referred to are the following:- "A woman servant aged 20 was found on her bed in the morning. The bed had not been slept in. Death had occurred some hours before. The autopsy was nega tive except for the presence of a light-colored 8em i ~flu id mixture of water and magnesium sulphate in the stomach. Death was stated to have been caused by syncope.

'Ve cannot say; it is, however, a pecuH to earnest attempts to establish some of the well known clinical results combination , U pure" and "fraud. " It sounds like a "holy sinn er " 0 of osteopat hic practice on a scientific foundation. Dr. Deason's first a "dreadfully good man " and other such demonstrations us are som experiments were conducted in 1909 and it has seemed that a few remarks times met with . Whatever he means however it is somewhat un . on the subject of the results so far obtained might be of considerable publicly to denounce any man or men as "frauds " unless the denoun general interest. Th e work is carried on under the best possible condi­ has a very firm foundation of facts to back his statements. "The tions and the results are carefully checked by controls at every stage in sometimes succeed, because they don't stick to their creeds." That is the experiments. We have no doubt but t hat our readers will recollect a remarkable utteran ce and why in the world has Osteopathy come some of the art icles that have been published in this magazine from time occupy the position in t he public estimation that it has, when its followers to time either by Dr. Deason or his assistants and will remember the care only succeed by not st icking to the very heliefs that have made it g . that the preparation of the articles gave evidence of. In various series ground in public approval. "There are some things that no man can of experiments the following especially inte resting facts have been understand." Then comes the master statement-osteopathy swep conclusively established:-t hat the results upon visceral tonicity and into oblivion in a dozen words. "The idea of t he displacement of the functioning are absolutely different under a treatment involving verte­ cervical vertebra is absurd. If you will excuse me, it is the verteb..... bral movements and nnder massage; t hat t he carbolated glycerin used of the osteopath that are out of position, not the vertebrre of the patienlli as a germicide and antiseptic in the preparation of vaccine virus as of the osteopath." So he admits the possibility of a displaced cervi ordinarily sold is absolute ly powerless to produce the results asserted; . vertebra, even it is only found in the neck of an osteopath, presumably, that osteopathic lesions affect viseral reflexes; and that t he bony lesion causing his peculiar faith in his peculiar creed; but we would venture may be irrefut ably responsihle for inefficient carbohydrate metabolism. suggest that Dr. Wiley had a lesion somewhat higher than his cervical This latter fact has been proven by most carefully conducted experiments vertebra> when he was prompted to give vent to these foolish utterances lasting over six to eight months in which glycosuria was demonstrated and if he is to continue to be of use in his chosen sphere he had bette clearly to be due to th e artifically produced lesion. As further results broaden his outlook upon life and the professional world and not try to might be mentioned these facts, that a lesion in the splanchnic area will impress people with t he t hought that he has a great knowledge and produce a visceral inhibition; and that the asserted possibility of stimu­ wisdom that is evidently ent irely foreign to him. lating or inhibiting an organ or st ructure by pressure or work upon the ti sues of the back-other than in so far as t hat work will normalize structure and so in turn function-is untrue. An interesting feature influencing some of the experiments has been the presence of lesions in the backs of some of the animals, causing idiopathic results and really acting as a more striking proof of osteopathic practice than the experi­ ments themselves. A number of experiments moreover have been con­ ducted upon the innominate bones with several remarkable results- a temporary glycosuria and diarrhcea being experimentally obtained in a number of cases entirely dependent upon the condition of the innom­ inate bone.In experimenting upon monkeys Dr. Deason has made some very noteworthy discoveries ; such as loss of weight due to lesion EDITORIAL. 28;)

in up per dorsal, glycos uria du e to mid-dorsal irregularity, diarrhcea drpendent entirely upon lesioned condition and sto pping when the lesion i:-: removed, etc. The latest series of experiments have been upon the eflicae): of cnnt harides and phenol as antitoxi c agents, and we may expect to hear of some interesting results in conneetion therewith . We would say that Dr. Deason has done mu ch to interest the students and the profession generally along the line of the possibilities and importanee of Research and Bacteriological work , and th e results that he has obtained are qui te gratifying.

AT a r d y Drug medication is a dead issue in thera peu ti cs. Recognition At least this is th e gist of many authoritative st ate­ ments made by exponents of the old school of curative practice. A recent announcement to this effect, and one that is of part icula r significance because of the pro minence of th e men who made it , is t he following by Drs. Musser and Keller of the University of Pennsylvania. which ap pea red in the preface of Vol. 1, of

" Drugs, although of ma­ terial vnlue and often of mu ch importance, are no longer the chief reliance in the man agement of disease-e-and rightly; and thi s beca use of the uncertainty of the action of many drugs and the difficulty often cxper­ ienced in estimating accurately their assumed effects. In creasing attention is now devot ed. to dialogical factors, dieteti c regulations and

to physiological methods of treatment. II In a word , we find that the old school practitioner is endeavoring to establish in place of the ancient empirical system of drug-dosing, a modern, rationa l one based upon intra-corporeal activities, i. e., bused upon' the sallie ground prineiples that underlie the pra cti ce of Osteopathy.
