Cataphoretic Treatment of Goitre.-Dr. Hunter McGuire (Medical Brief) uses a cup-shaped electrode, containing in its cavity a bit of absorbent cotten saturated with iodine. This is applied over the enlarged gland and connected with the positive pole of a galvanic battery. The negative electrode is applied to the back of the neck, and a current of 6 or 8 milliamperes is allowed to run for ten minutes. Daily treatment for three weeks often causes the goitre to disappear. Care of the Hair After Fevers.-For the partial alopecia, commonly observed after fevers, George Thomas Jackson writes (Medical News) that the patient should be directed to brush and comb the hair every day, and once or twice a week work gently into the scalp a pomade composed of a dram of precipitated sulphur to the ounce of good, soft cold cream. The hair and scalp should be washed every two or three weeks, and a little of the pomade applied as soon as the hair is dried. Announcement.-Mr. W. B. Saunders announces that he has associated with him in business Mr. F. L. Hopkins, manager of the Subscription Department, and Mr. T. F. Dagney, manager of the Publication Department under the firm name of W. B. Saunders & Company. These gentlemen have been connected with the establishment almost from its inception. The subscription and publication departments will be conducted as heretofore. The Trade Book Department will be under the management of Mr. W. D. Watson. Holocaine Versus Cocaine in Eye Troubles.-The superiority of holocaine over cocaine in certain respects is fully set forth by Edward Jackson in the February American Therapist. Briefly stated holocaine does not dilute the pupil, is slightly antiseptic, quicker in action than cocaine and its use is not followed by reaction and hyperemia. It is especially adapted for the removal of foreign bodies, the prevention of pain from strong astringent collyria, and for such corneal operations as paracentesis and the curetting or cauterization of ulcers. A 1 per cent. solution is generally employed to produce local anesthesia. AGENTS WANTED. To sell the Marsh Reading Stand and Revolving Book Case.
