Excerpt from New York Medical Journal, Vol. 106: Incorporating the Philadelphia Medical Journal and the Medical News; A Weekly Review of Medicine; July 21, 1917 The ethical phase of prostitution has always been an object of considerable discussion, and it is inter esting to note that there are moralists who uphold this practice. Indeed, Augustine spoke in behalf of prostitution and Aquinas (5) said: Prostitu tion in towns is like the sewers in the palace; take away the sewers, and the palace becomes an impure and stinking place. Lackey defends it as follows. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from New York Medical Journal, Vol. 106: Incorporating the Philadelphia Medical Journal and the Medical News; July 7, 1917 The following paragraph (1) is interesting as showing both the occurrence of cholera in Germany during this war and the prompt and heroic measures adopted to stamp it out: On cholera appearing in M a hospital for cholera cases and suspects was established, the streets where cases occurred were isolated, intercourse between citizens and troops inhibited, streets and yards were sprayed, etc., etc. Prophylactic inoculation was begun on the day following the appearance of the disease and the second dose had been given to all by the ninth day. The last sentence may cause the soldier to shudder in anticipation of still another series of shots in the arm as protection against cholera, to which he will undoubtedly be subjected if it is necessary. Dysentery. - Those who served during the Span ish - American War will recall the ravages made by diarrheal diseases among the troops, even those en camped in our own cities. What has been said of typhoid, the paratyphoids, and cholera, can be ap plied to this class of disease with equal force. In enforcing prophylactic measures it might be well to emphasize that no less stringent measures should be adopted. Among the diarrheas suffered by the Eng lish troops, certain of the cases were designated sand diarrhea; they followed sandstorms and were ascribed to the irritation of the bowels by the sand, or to the dissemination of the germs by the winds. In either case it would seem that protection of foods and utilization of, perhaps, the gas mask while such storms raged would prevent the occur rence of these cases. Tuberculosis - The white plague has so long been a subject of universal dread and popular discussion that I can add little to the information already well known of the measures advocated for its preyen tion, but because of the importance it is assuming as a decimator of men in the trenches, it is essential to emphasize certain rules to prevent its further in roads. Of sixty British soldiers discharged from a London hospital as no longer fit for service, twenty-two were marked down by the examining medical board as suffering from chronic tuberculo sis. All evidence tended to prove that these men had been lung sound when they enlisted. The Brit ish experts who canvassed the subject concluded: Modern trench warfare, with its terrible exposure to extremes of heat and cold, under the most um healthy 'conditions, is bound to cause an excess of pulmonary complaints among men not up to the strain The last point incidentally is an elo quent argument in favor of adequate physical train ing and hardening of the men.

Excerpt from New York Medical Journal, Vol. 114: Incorporating the Philadelphia Medical Journal and the Medical News; A Semimonthly Review of Medicine and Surgery; July to December, 1921, Inclusive On the other hand, it is perfectly definite that the blood in the adrenal veins contains adrenaline and that it contains more during stimulation of the splanchnic, but it does not follow from this that the substance thus liberated from the adrenal tissue acts upon the organism. To declare that a glandula1 product constitutes an internal secretion and as such has an effect upon the organism requires more than the mere recognition of its presence in the venous blood of the organ where it is formed; it must still be found in the blood of the left heart or in the blood of the general circulation; for it must pass into the circulation 1n order to reach the tissues upon which it shall act electively. Nothing proves a priori that the product found in the blood issuing from a gland issues into the general circulation; in fact, it might decompose or be rapidly destroyed in the mass of blood or else it might be diluted to a point where it would no longer have any effect It is, therefore, highly necessary that it should be found in the arterial blood if we are to affirm its hormonic hormozonic.

The x ray will give evidence of disease within the chest, I, whenever there is any change in contour of the chest as a whole or any part of the chest; 2, when there is any change in density of any portion of the chest, or any change in density of any organs within the chest; 3, when there is any change in the movements of the organs within the chest.

Excerpt from New York Medical Journal, Vol. 106: August 25, 1917 Rontgen rays and clinical and laboratory findings; 2, latent cancer which is usually advanced without any typical symptoms and can be diagnosed by the Rontgen. Ray readily; and 3, cases in which there is very little doubt about the diagnosis from a clinical standpoint. In early carcinoma the symptoms are obscure and there are usually few gastric symp toms. As a rule there is no obstruction, the acidity may be unchanged, there is no lactic acid, and there may be no blood in the gastric contents or stools. There is insufficient data to justify an exploratory operation. This class of cases must be examined very carefully by the Rontgen rays, and very often repeated exminations are necessary if the diagnosis is to be made in time to be of real value to patient and surgeon. In latent cancer the disease is far advanced with only one or more symptoms, and can usually be diagnosed by the rontgen rays. Often these cases are referred with the history of partial pyloric obstruction, and as there are no other symptoms, we are greatly surprised when the Rontgen examination reveals an advanced carci noma which is inoperable. A question frequently asked is: How early can gastric carcinoma be diagnosed by the Rontgen rays, or how early does gastric carcinoma reveal rontgen ological signs sufficient to justify an exploratory operation? Carman, who has had a large expe rience at the Mayo Clinic, answers this question as follows: Admitting that the only cure for cancer is early operation, early diagnosis is a matter of prime importance. Admitting also that there are no definite clinical findings in early cancer. The statement is warranted that next to the exploring finger of a trained surgeon. Rontgen rays will re veal more cancers in the early stages than any other diagnostic means. Iience. Every patient of cancer age with indefinite gastric symptoms should be sub jected to a Rontgen examination. But how earlv can cancer of the stomach be detected? That de pends upon, 1, the character of the cancer whether a frank tumor, an insidious infiltration, or a can cerous ulcer: 7 its situation; 3. The examiner's familiarity with the work. And. _t. The amount of rontgenological evidence. Together with the extent of clinical corroboration. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
