Abstract

E1EDICJOURA 405 cutaneous injection of'7 oz. in an infant always reduced the specific gravity several points, and the injections were repeated t.wo or three times in the twenty-four hours until the specific gravity had fallen to a little below the norm-ial point, to allow some margin for further loss of -fiid.Dr. Coutts informed mne that when lhe h-ad formerly puslhed tlle injections of normnal salines to this extent the diar- rhoea increased, just as it does in cholera.With the hypertonic solution, however, this is naot the case in either disease, which seems to show that the stronger solution is as correct in principle in infaintile diarrhoea as it is in cholera.Furtlher, from .1 to 1 grain of calcium permani- ganate was added to each pint of the fluiid, with wlich the stomacll and large bowel were waslhed out on the admis- sion of the patient, in order to destroy and remove as much as possible of the toxic products in tlle gastro- intestinal tract.Resuilts.
