THE MEDICAL BULLETIN ADVERTISER. PROTONUCLEIN Produces leucocytosis as soon as taken into the organism. The normal Tissue-builder and antitoxic principle of the animal organism, obtained from the lymphoid structures of the body by direct mechanical and physiological processes. All other methods of isolating nucleins, by the use of chemicals, destroy their physiological and proliferating functions. The power of Protonuclein to support the organism and resist toxic germs seems unlimited. This has been proven by most careful experiments made under the direction of the highest authorities in the Hospitals of New York and other parts of the country. Preparations of nuclein made from plant life are not directly assimilable in the organism. THERAPEUTIC USES OF PROTONUCLEIN Protonuclein is indicated in all conditions where there are toxic germs to be destroyed and where the organism is below the normal physiological standard. It rapidly restores the vitality of all the tissues by stimulating and supporting assimilative nutrition. Important Note.— If given in time it will act as a reliable preventive or prophylactic, protecting those exposed to contagion or infection, or greatly modify the virulence of the disease if attacked.

WEBSTER FOX, M.D., BURNS OF THE CORNEA. GENTLEMEN :— No. 7 means of our hydrostatic eye-douche. Atropia was again instilled and both eyes sealed with sterilized vaselin; over this came the eyepads, all held securely in place by adhesive strips. The patient was not disturbed during the night, and we now, in your presence, make another examination. I find, upon removing the pads, that the eyelids are somewhat swollen, red, and showing distinctly the effects of the burns. Upon elevating the upper lid of the right eye the conjunctiva is pink, and on the cornea a few imbedded particles of foreign matter still remain; these we shall wash away HE boy whom I bring before you first this with water as hot as can be borne by our pa Tmorning met with a most serious accident tient. You will notice how this is done. reservoir is held to a certain height, to give the water at the nozzle of the pipette greater force. I find that we have succeeded in washing away the particles, and the surface of the cornea appears perfectly clean. The left eye is in a more critical condition, the upper third of the cornea showing the effects of the burn, being quite opalescent and with a decidedly lacerated surface, as if the particles of foreign last evening. While standing on the sidewalk watching a civic parade he accidentally had a Roman candle explode in his face; he received the full discharge, burning his lashes and eyebrows and scorching the skin about his eyes. The left one received the greater part of the flame, and, in consequence, is the more severely injured. The accident happened about 8 o'clock, and he was brought to the hospital a few minutes later. The house-matter had torn away the epithelium and desurgeon, Dr. Pfromm, immediately instilled atropia and bathed the eyes with a boric solution. I was called to see the case and made an examination about two hours after the accident. Upon elevating the eyelids I found both eyes more or less sprinkled with grains of powder and fine particles of clay, notwithstanding the treatment. Both eyes were again thoroughly irrigated with filtered water so as to wash away the fine particles of foreign matter remaining in both cornea and conjunctiva Plenty of water was applied by Clinical lecture delivered at the Medico-Chirurgical College, March 9, 1895. stroyed part of the cornea propria. I shall irrigate this eye with the warm water even more carefully than was done in the other eye, so as to be sure to wash away all the foreign matter and, possibly, remove the lacerated tissues hanging on by shreds. The atropia is again dropped into the eyes and both eyes again sealed by a thick coating of sterilized vaselin and eye-pads. The eyes will be dressed again in twelve hours and continued until all danger is past. The prognosis in the right eye promises well. In the left we must reserve our opinion for forty-eight hours.
