Excerpt from The British Journal of Children's Diseases, 1921, Vol. 18 The town of Smyrna, however, was relatively immune before the war, for among the sick children who came to my out-patient department from 1906 - 1913 only 3 per cent. Were suffering from malaria, and even this 3 per cent. Included a certain number of children who came from the interior of the villayet to be treated at Smyrna.

Excerpt from The British Journal of Children's Diseases, Vol. 11 Until the commencement of the nineteenth century this disease possessed a far greater degree of importance than that which attaches to it at the present time. It has always been attended with a high mortality whenever introduced into an unprotected com munity for the first time; for example, in Mexico, where it was introduced by the Spaniards under Cortez in the sixteenth century, or in the West Indies in the slave importations.

Excerpt from British Journal of Children's Diseases, 1906, Vol. 3 The shape of the chest at birth differs from that of the adult. Its circumference is almost, if not quite, circular instead of oval. As a consequence of the circular shape alteration in the capacity of the thorax during respiration is difficult. During respiration in the adult the raising of the ribs causes the oval shape of the chest to become more circular, and the capacity is consequently increased. Since little of this increase can take place in the infant by means of thoracic movements the interchange of air in the lungs is carried on chie y by the diaphragm, and the respiration is consequently described as abdominal. A cyrtometer tracing of the chest has been added of a child, aged 7 months, which shows well the circular shape.

Excerpt from The British Journal of Children's Diseases, Vol. 4 I have collected notes Of seventy-two other cases from the litera ture, * and with this material as a basis will attempt an analysis Of some points concerning the conditions. Although there was an alcohol history in every one of these cases, in several of them the alcohol had not been administered in excess, as far as was known, SO that perhaps in these there was some other factor at work. This question will be discussed later. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The British Journal of Children's Diseases, 1912, Vol. 9 Of the 100 cases (fifty-six males with an average age of 8 months, and forty-four females with an average age of months), sixty seven (thirty-six males, average age 7 months, thirty-one females, average age mouths) proved fatal, and thirty-three (twenty males, average age months, thirteen females, average 102 months) recovered. Purpura occurred in eleven (six male, five female) cases, all of which were fatal. Of the sixty-seven cases 164 per cent. Showed purpura. The average age of the eleven cases was 8% months, the extremes being 1 month and 28 months. All but two cases (28 months and 12 months) were under 11 months of age; and, exclusive of the girl aged 28 months, the average age works out at months. None of the purpuric cases showed oedema. Among the 100 cases there was one case with oedema of the hands and feet which recovered; and two fatal cases (without purpura) showed septic rashes.

Excerpt from The British Journal of Children's Diseases, 1908, Vol. 5 I ventured to think the opening should be more suggestive than dogmatic, and terse rather than discursive.

Excerpt from The British Journal of Children's Diseases, 1911, Vol. 8 The case was at first under the care Of Dr. Furth, but later on, owing to his absence on a holiday, was kindly handed over by him to Dr. Weber. The general condition varied somewhat from time to time. Ordinarily, the child seemed free from pain and happy and took her food. Occasionally there was slight fever. The urine was free from albumin until the end, when it contained a trace. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The British Journal of Children's Diseases, 1915, Vol. 12 Letoux has injected as much as 10 c.c. into each hemisphere. L. Delmas ('Presse Medicale, ' September the 17th, 1898) has not been successful with this method. In the case of a girl whom L. Ombredanne kindly trephined and injected for me, I was unfortunately unable to prevent a fatal issue('Arch, de Med. des Enf., ' August, 1899). The success of intracerebral injection, therefore, which requires the assistance of a good surgeon, is by no means invariable. The same is to be said of intra-spinal injection, which is a much simpler procedure, thanks to lumbar puncture. Both successes and failures have resulted from the use of this method. F. Peruzzi ('La Pediatria, ' July, 1908) cured a case of tetanus in a boy, aged 7 years, by eight intra-spinal injections of serum, each containing 10 c.c. (80 c.c. in all); the serum came from Berne. In five other cases treated in the same way the result was nil. After this failure, having two other cases of tetanus to treat, he injected at once into the spinal canal 30 c.c. of serum, and recovery took place. He therefore advocates massive intra-spinal injections of anti-tetanic serum. Subcutaneous injections of anti-tetanic serum have often been employed and in large doses. J. Galletly ('Brit. Med. Journ., ' February the 18th, 1899) cured a boy, aged 8 years, by repeated injections of serum (240 c.c. in a fortnight); Murray ('Ind. Med. Record, ' March the 28th, 1914) cured a boy, who had contracted tetanus from a wound in the foot, by nine injections of anti-tetanic serum (one daily, in all 90 c.c). In Letoux's case, that of a boy, aged 14 years, who had been given two intra-cerebral injections of 10 c.c, one must also take into account the numerous subcutaneous injections which were given (ten from May the 7th to May the 22nd, or 105 grm. of the anti-tetanic serum of the Institut Pasteur). V. Barachini ('Gazz. d. Osp., ' January the 7th, 1900) cured a boy, aged 13 years, by two subcutaneous injections in the thigh of Tizzoni's anti-tetanic serum (50 c.c. in all). This serum was employed at Pisa in the same manner in five other cases with successful results. S. H. Long ('Brit. Med. Journ., ' November the 24th, 1900) cured a boy, aged 13 years, with thirteen subcutaneous and fifty-five rectal injections of anti-tetanic serum (680 c.c. in all). In a case of tetanus neonatorum in a female infant, aged 13 days, treated by J. MacCaw ('Brit. Med. Journ., ' March the 30th, 1901) cure was obtained by two subcutaneous injections of anti-tetanic serum from the Institut Pasteur (3 c.c and 2 c.c. respectively).
