AN ANTITOXIN RIOT
The chief health official of Philadelphia, and his grand vizier, got to feeling rather “uppity”, as the colored brother puts it, and about the beginning of the year issued a semi-official order to the medical profession of Philadelphia that they must use diphtheria antitoxin or be subject to the official displeasure. The medical profession promptly told the official displeasure. The medical profession promptly told the officials...
SOME EXPERIENCE WITH COLCHICUM
SOME EXPERIENCE WITH COLCHICUM Bloathing About the first that I remember about the therapeutics of Colchicum dates back to 1896 or 1870, when Dr. Hering lectured on this remedy in the Hahnemann Medicala College in Philadelphia.

ECHINACEA IN GERMANY
The great remedy Echinacea seems to have become very popular in Germany, and deservedly so if we may judge from the reports of cases printed in the German journals. One case was diagnosed several things by two physicians before it was seen to be a full fledged case of appendicitis. Echinacea had been given from the start and was continued; the case ran an unusually favorable course. Another unusual case...
