BULLETIN OF THE Homoeopathic Medical College Midwinter, 1897 UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN ANN ARBOR PUBLISHED BY AUTHORITY OF THE REGENTS ANN ARBOR: THE INLAND PRESS, 1897. MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY HOMOEOPATHIC BULLETIN The faculty of the Homoeopathic Medical College of the Uni- versity of Michigan, desirous of presenting to the profession the status of the department at the present time, takes pleasure in the issuance of the first of a series of Bulletins to that end. To the profession of the State who have stood by the department throughout its vicissitudes; to those who have rallied so generously to its support after the removal bill was adversely decided by the Supreme Court: all, with the determination that the department, the pioneer of Homoeopathic representation in state universities, should not go down, our first thanks are due. To the Homoeopathic profession at large who have ever looked with jealous eye upon the Homoeopathic Department of the Univer- sity of Michigan, and who have been ever ready zealously to guard and defend the fair name of that department; to the numerous journals of our school who with kind words are encouraging us, and to whom the present era of prosperity is largely due, our grateful acknowledgment is hereby made. These encouragements, which have manifested themselves in an increase in the number of students exceeding that of any year since 1892; in a greater abundance of clinical material in the hospital than since the erection of the new building; in a more liberal atti- tude toward the department on the part of the faculties of all the other departments with whom our students come in contact, warrant us in soliciting a continuance of these favors. Obtaining these, our endeavors will be, not only to restore this department to the proud position it formerly occupied, but to realize the fondest hopes of that earnest band of pioneers to whom the school owes its origin. 4 HOMOEOPATHIC Blu LLETIN. THE COLLEGE YEAR, The first semester of '96-'97 opened with all the students in attendance who had attended the year before, excepting, of course, the graduates of ’96. It is gratifying to the faculty that its efforts during the year ’95–96 were deserving of appreciation, and that they were of sufficient merit and promise to inspire every preceptor and student with confidence. } The student is the “causa sine qua non '' of every institution of learning. Without him there can be no school, to him is every effort of the faculty addressed, for him is every demonstration, every lecture, every clinic. The faculty has kept constantly in mind the fact that the department exists, only, that it may assist in producing a generation of physicians who will realize to the fullest extent that they are to be the conservators and restorers of the public health, and that they shall be thoroughly grounded in the practical essen- tials of medicine, There entered the department at the opening of the semester twenty-one men and women who never had studied medicine. A number of these are university and college graduates: all but two came with sufficient credits from colleges to admit them to the fresh- man class without taking the entrance examination, or were admitted upon high School diplomas. There were admitted to the sophomore class six, to the junior class two, to the senior class four students who had studied in other medical schools. The four Seniors and four others came from allo- pathic schools. There are in the department five students taking the six-year combination course that will graduate them with the degree in medicine and a degree in science. This course is promising to be very popular and is certainly a very good one. The prosperity of a college is best determined by the number of its freshmen. Taking this as a criterion, there will be one hundred students in the College in 1899. This does not allow for the increase in the other classes which has been this year as follows: Sophomores six, Juniors two, and Seniors four. If this ratio can be maintained, HOMOEOPATHIC BULLETIN. 5 and there is every reason to believe. that it will be increased, next year's attendence will be as large as any the College ever had. Accomplishing this, the number will soon double itself. The num- ber of students enrolled in the Homoeopathic Department, accord- ing to the Steward’s books, at the present time (January 10, 1897) is FóRTY-EIGHT, as against twenty-seven last year, and twenty the previous year. The regents called to the college at the opening of the year Dr. W. A. Dewey who assumes the most important chair in a homoeo- pathic college, that of Materia Medica. This addition to the faculty is a most fortunate one, as it brings to the university a man of inter- national reputation in his specialty as well as one possessed of the rare instincts of a good teacher and the versatility that puts him among the foremost writers of the day upon subjects pertaining to medicine. The faculty exercises the right of passing upon all the work done by the homoeopathic students in the other departments. This prevents accident or oversight in allowing any one to go through the course without a thorough understanding of the various subjects. The inquiry is often made as to our methods of work. The Homoeopathic College is a department of the great university, there being beside a department of Literature and Science, Law, Engineer- ing, Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Old School Medicine. The policy of the university is that no part of any department shall be duplicated in another. This prevents the employment of unnecessary instruct- ors. To carry out this very wise plan, students of one department do parts of their work in another. For example, the instruction in medical jurisprudence is given in the Law Department, the work in general chemistry and physics is done in the Literary Department, the work in organic chemistry is done in the College of Pharmacy, The homoeopathic, the dental, the allopathic, and such other stu- dents as desire, take their anatomy, physiology, bacteriology, and other laboratory work together. The work in practical homoeopathy is done exclusively by the homoeopathic faculty in the homoeopathic building upon the univer- sity campus or in the beautiful amphitheatre at the hospital. W. B.

W. A. D. THE LABORATORIES. The magnificent laboratories of the University of Michigan offer to students of homoeopathy better facilities than are to be found in any other institution, and belong equally to our students with those of other departments—the policy of the university being not to duplicate departments. The allopathic, dental and homoeopathic students get their chemistry from the chemical or pharmacal depart- ment, and the pharmacy students obtain their botany from the liter- ary department, also in laboratory work nothing is duplicated. HOMOEOPATHIC BULLETIN. 9 While in the past it may have been that homoeopathic students were often unjustly discriminated against in certain of the labora- tories, especially those presided over by old school physicians, such a course under the present system as has been elsewhere explained is impossible. All students stand upon an equal footing, no neglect, injustice or partiality is possible. The final decision rests in the hands of the homoeopathic faculty. All materials used in the laboratories are furnished, and our students are required to do the work in the anatomical, chemical, physiological, histological, pathological, bacteriological and embry- ological laboratories under the guidance of competent assistants, spending many hours daily in this work during the first two years of the course. The rare facilities offered our students for the prosecution of this practical branch of medical education is much appreciated and justly attracts many students from distant parts of the country. The teaching of the elementary and theoretical branches thus becomes intensely practical. LABORATORY OF EXPERIMENTAL PATHOGENESY. One of the fondest hopes of the lamented Carroll Dunham in connection with the founding of the homoeopathic college of the Uni- versity of Michigan was the establishment of a laboratory to be devoted to experimentation with drugs according to homoeopathic principles. During the early days of the department much useful work was done in what was nicknamed the “Barn Laboratory '' of the homoeo- pathic department; work that owing to difficulties, or, as Prof. S. A. Jones, its founder aptly put it, the “aggravations” which beset the earnest workers of those days, we fear has been underestimated. We recall with pride, however, the work dome on Pieric acid, Nitro- muriatic acid, and Plumbum aceticum which emanated in the “Barn Laboratory”; work which greatly widens our knowledge of these drugs. It is an historical fact that this very “Barn Laboratory'' of the homoeopathic department was the original of the strictly medicul lab- 10 HOMOEOPATHIC BULLET IN. Oratories of the University of Michigan; and it was noticed and even remarked by a member of the old school faculty: “That we (the allopaths) were talking science while the homoeopaths were doing it.” It is, therefore, a great pleasure to announce that the regents. at their last meeting authorized the establishment of a laboratory to be devoted to experimental pathogenesy and pharmacology; in other words, a laboratory wherein proving of drugs shall be conducted in accordance with the great fundamental principle of homoeopathy, aided by the methods of modern scientific research. An appropriation was made to carry the project into immediate execution, and we are pleased to state that we are now prepared for such research. Future numbers of this Bulletin, in all probability, will be devoted to a record of the work done in this laboratory. W. A. D. THE HOSPITAL AND CLINICS. The incrased number of patients in the hospital, has been fol- lowed, of necessity, by an increase in the working forces. Last year the offices of superintendent and house physician were held by one person, at present there is a separate superintendent and house phy- sician. The training school for nurses has been increased by three. A large invoice of new furniture has been ordered by the regents, and a number of new rooms have been fitted up. An elevator for the transportation of patients between the floors is to be put in, in fact, the outlook for the hospital is of the brightest. This is exceed- ingly gratifying, and the fact that this is the only hospital in the state under exclusive homoeopathic control, should go far to entitle it to the support of the profession. The superintendent’s books make the following showing: The hospital last year, from September 15, 1895, to March 1, 1896, had earned as much money as it earned during the previous year from September 15, 1894, to June 15, 1895. The number of patients. this year ('96), compared month by month with last year ('95), is as follows: September, a gain of 50 per cent., October, a gain of 45 per cent., November, a gain of 90 per cent., December, a gain of HOMOEOPATHIC BULLETIN. 11 25 per cent. The hospital is closed every year from June 15 to September 15. GENERAL MEDICAL CLINIC. All general hospitals, whether situated in a large or small city, are unable to afford a certain kind of clinical material. They all refuse to admit infectious diseases. The student is fortunate if he sees a case of diphtheria, scarlatina, measles, erysipelas, typhoid fever, etc. The medical cases, exclusive of nervous affections, that have been in the hospital not including the out-clinic which is good, are classified as follows: Chronic enteritis 1, cerebro-spinal concus- sion 1, gonorrhoea 5, neuresthenia 5, intestinal obstruction 1, lingual ulcers 1, herpes circinatus 2, typhoid fever 1, rectal fissure 1, bron- chitis 3, congenital infantile syphilis 1, acquired syphilis 3, chronic gastritis 1, acute gastritis 2, tape. worm 1, la grippe 3, tubercular peritonitis 1, (This patient was tapped twice, the first yielded five, the second four gallons of ascitic fluid; the diagnosis was confirmed by an exploratory incision made by Dr. LeSeure), tubercular phthisis 3, tubercular laryngitis. 1, general tuberculosis 1, goitre 1, herpes facialis 1, rheumatic arthritis 1, psoriasis 1, mitral insufficiency 2, folicular tonsilitis 1, simple ulcerative tonsillitis 1, lithiasis 1. CLINICAL LECTURE. By W. B. Hinsdale, M. D., Professor of Theory and Practice and Clinical Medicine. Reported by L. H. Stewart. Case 1.-The first case that I wish to present to the class to-day is Mr. L. M., age fifty-seven. He has the following history: Father died of lung or kidney trouble. Mother died during labor, age thirty-seven. The history on the mother's side is unobtainable. Fifteen or twenty years ago the patient was shot in the left temple which has left some deformity. The present trouble dates back seven years, and presents the following salient points. Patient was regularly employed in a store, but had occasion to go out to his farm to help stack some oats. The oats were very musty and the weather was very hot. The patient went home in the evening, sick. At this time his hands swelled. He recovered apparently from his illness, 12 HOMO EOPATHIC Blu I, LETIN. but since that time has had repeated attacks of Oedema on various parts of his body. The swelling is preceded by burning and itching. He is quite apt to find some part of his body enormously swollen on getting up in the morning. He sleeps well, and is well appar- ently between these attacks, with the exception of some troublesome haemorrhoids and an occasional slight gastric irritation. During the attacks of Oedema he is nearly prostrated. The diagnosis in this case is Angio-Neurotic Oedema. - The pathology in this disease is not clear, although the diag- nosis in this particular case is plainly indicated by the symptomatol- ogy. The condition, probably, has its origin in some interference with the trophic and vaso-motor nerves. It is, as the name indicates, in all probability a neurosis with similarity to some forms of urti- caria. There is a condition occasionally met with that resembles this very much in its clinical expression, called “giant hives.” It is not clear whether this last is a mild form of angio-neurotic oedema or a kindred neurosis. This case I should say is chronic, although the exacerbations come and go suddenly. There is no regularity about the peri- odicity, but the intervals are not longer than two or three days. The danger of the disease lies in the possibility of the oedema appearing in the pharynx or the larynx. Oedema glottidis is, no doubt, a very similar affection to the one under consideration. In fact, if this oedema should affect the glottis and cause the patient’s death we should not hesitate to give as the cause of death, Oedema glottidis. Further than the dangers to which I have referred, the prognosis in the case is not unfavorable, notwithstanding we might have an almost interminable struggle to cure. While the oedema is present it appears quite similar to a bee's sting, or of a number of severe stings, for the swelling is very great at times, so great when on the side of the face as to obliterate, seemingly, the eye, or when about the genitals to simulate an enor- mous orchitis and paraphymosis. Perhaps the swelling will come and go off in the short space of a half-day. The appearance of the occlema and the stinging pains that precede it, of course, bring to our mind Apis. This remedy I should say, would be effective at the time of the attacks, that is, it may be addressed to the oedema. HOMOEOPATHIC BIJI, LETIN. 13 But what of the neurosis? If the patient were to be with us for treatment we would go further into the therapeutics, but as he is referred for a diagnosis only, we will probably save ourselves great labor by passing to the next case. It is sometimes urged that clinics are unsatisfactory because we are unable, in all cases, to observe the entire treatment and note final results. Our next case is one in which these objections will not hold good, for the treatment was entirely our own and the result death. Case 2. —The history I can give you complete. Mr. Y., age twenty-six, single, American. Occupation, farmer. Was admitted November 7, Had had typhoid fever five years ago and scarlet fever four years ago. The recovery from these diseases was com- plete so far as he could tell. His family history was good. On November 2 he chopped down a bee tree and ate some of the honey. This was followed, in a few hours, by a pain in the abdomen. The next day he went to election and drank some cider, according to his statement, several glasses. Towards evening of that day he was taken with vomiting. The matter vomited was nearly black and very excoriating. The vomiting continued and the doctor who was called pronounced it intestinal obstruction. Up to the time when he came to the hospital, the vomiting had continued at brief inter- vals, and there had been no passage from the bowels since before the vomiting began. There was tenderness in the right iliac region. The progress and management of the case after he came to the hos- pital was as follows: A high rectal injection was given which resulted in a small passage of hard faecal matter. This seemed to relieve the patient somewhat. He complained of pain in the abdo- men in the evening and a turpentine stupe gave some relief to this symptom. He was very thirsty, but cold water aggravated the nausea. Hot water or hot milk were given with an occasional piece of ice in the mouth. Nux vomica was given every hour. The rectal injections were repeated twice on the eighth and again on the following morning. The last enema was followed by a free move- ment of the bowels, the first one since he was taken. A diar- rhoea began to develop and the abdomen to be distended with gas. The temperature was not at any time above a hundred. It 14 HOMOEOPATHIC Blu LLETIN. was more frequently observed to be a half degree below normal than above. Following the temperature as a criterion, it cannot be said that the patient had a “fever.” The pulse varied from eighty to a hundred. On the evening of the eleventh the patient was bothered with troublesome dreams. This mental condition gradually lapsed into a delirious stupor in which he would occasionally make an effort to get out of bed. The diarrhoea was involuntary and urine was voided in the bed. The stool was yellowish in color and of the 7 5 ‘‘pea soup '' character. At no time was there any sign of haemor- rhage. The tongue gradually became brown and dry. The patient's strength grew less and less, but it was not by any means exhausted. But for the faithful attendance of the nurse, the teeth would have been heavily covered with sordes. The general condition of the patient corresponded to the typical typhoid condition. On the even- ing of his death, which was November 15, at eleven o’clock, the temperature at six was a shade sub-normal, at nine o’clock it was 100, just before death it was 104, three degrees and a half higher than it had been observed to be at any other time. When the typhoid symptoms began to manifest themselves, Bryonia was prescribed. On the occurrence of the involuntary stool, Phosphoric acid was given. When the mental aberations were con- siderable, Hyoscyamus was administered. An Alcohol sponge bath was given twice every twenty-four hours. The diet was hot milk until the nausea stopped, after that, warm milk. The patient did not seem to respond to any part of the treatment. His course could be rep- resented by the slant of a triangle that begins ten feet in the air and terminates in the earth. It took him ten days from the time we first saw him to slide from the apex of his triangle into the ground. What is the diagnosis? Was the whole condition due to eating the honey? Did the cider cut any figure in the case? Would he have been ill if these circumstances had not occurred 2 He said he had been feeling unusually well before eating the honey. Did he suffer and die from ptomaine poisoning? Did the obstruction of the bowels that was so prominent a symptom during the first eight days account for the phenomena? Did he have typhoid fever “without fever?” There may be more reasons for thinking that he had none of these diseases than for thinking that he had any one of them. HOMOEOPATHIC BULLETſN. 15 You have at least had the privilege of seeing the clinical picture that is described by the words “typhoid condition.” You may have seen one case with pronounced symptoms, and yet not one of them diagnostic. You have seen one case before which we have, in our feeble and finite efforts, stood practically unable to afford relief. You have seen one man die. Were we allowed the privi- lege of an autopsy our many questions would doubtless receive an :8,1] SW6'I’. - Case 3.−Our next case is one in which we have not been able to make a satisfactory diagnosis, but one that has made remarkable progress since he came to the hospital five weeks ago. This clearly illustrates that a diganosis is not an absolute ingredient of an homoeo- pathic prescription. The case is briefly as follows: Trouble began a year ago, and the man who is very intelligent gives the following account of himself; “First noticed that something was wrong one day when going up a ladder. Pain suddenly took me through the the chest and extended to shoulder. This grew worse gradually, and after a few days pain involved both shoulders. Soon after I became short of breath. Six months later had a bilious attack with vomit- ing and diarrhoea. In about ten days this stopped. Three weeks after, became bloated from ends of toes to waist ‘ chock’ full. This bloat passed off in a few days. Then began to have boils, and to get weaker. Am now, five months later very weak and emaciated.” While he is but forty-five years old he is as pale, gray, and wrinkled as a man of seventy. He is quite jaundiced, but says this is not so marked as a few days ago. His father died of consumption, mother of cancer, a sister of lung trouble, a family history that is certainly suspicious. The oedema of which he spoke, the boils, the general appearance of the man first caused us to look to the kidneys for trouble. A chemical and micro- scopical examination gives negative results. The great emaciation suggests anaemia, possibly of the pernicious type. Again a micro- scopical examination failed to confirm the suspicion. A physical examination shows the cardiac and respiratory functions to be fairly well performed. The appearance of the man again led us to search for the malarial plasmodium, but the result of the examination is again negative; however the failure to find the plasmodium is not 16 HOMOEOPATHIC Buſ L.LETIN. significant as it is not “visible” except when the fever is periodical with its stages marked. It has been suggested by one or two physi- cians that the patient is in the early stages of Addison’s disease. If the jaundice can be taken for bronzing and the p \lor of the mucous. membrane in the mouth for the same, possibly we have a character- istic symptom, but we cannot say positively as to the real nature of the affection, as every theory upon which we have advanced has failed in a vital respect, unless it be that we fall back upon that mantle of indefiniteness and say malarial poisoning is the cause of the chain of symptoms that have followed since the time he had what he called the bilious attack. Cancer is suggested, but where shall we look for it? He has been to the surgical clinic and sent back as not having any surgical disease. At any rate, after he had been here ten days and after raking together symptoms the best we could, prominent among which are a slight gastric disturbance after eating, worse in the morning with bitter taste, we gave him Nux vomica. The result has been that after one month the patient has gained six pounds, is able to walk a mile, looks better, sleeps well, is so much improved that he thinks he will surely recover, whereas he was despondent. He is to leave the hospital tomorrow. It is safe. to conclude that the affection is one of mal-nutrition and probably not organic or degenerative. THE SURGICAL CLINIC, It may be of interest to the friends of our Department to know something of the methods of study and work in the surgical division. The surgical clinic has been very satisfactory to both teachers and pupils, and our thanks are due to those who have kindly interested themselves in the success of the Department. The majority of the cases presented to the class have been interesting, mainly from the fact of their practical utility to the every day practitioner. Every effort is made to bring each member of the senior class directly in contact with the case presented, and to illustrate by touch and immediate observation, the particular points of diagnosis. Once the student has appreciated the sensation produced by contact of probe on denuded, necrosed or carious bone, PIOMOEOPATHIC Blſ),LETIN. 17 he will not easily forget or mistake it; so with true fluctuation, so again with the soft, almost fluctuating sensation of a lipoma, the hard but elastic fibroma or the dense inelastic scirrhus. Having felt the difference between a varicocele, a hydrocele and a scrotal hernia, he has more than a theoretical knowledge of them and has their differential diagnosis. Each senior has also a period of special study and practical experience in the administration of anaesthetics, under the direct observation of the Assistant to the chair of Surgery. It is the intention to require each senior to record his cases anaesthetized and his observations upon the same, and to give such report in writing to the Surgeon. To further develop the study of surgical diagnosis, cases are assigned to each senior who is expected to present his case to the class, defending his diagnosis, if need be. It is extremely difficult for the student to select the most simple diagnosis first, to think first of the most common form of disease which may be illustrated by the case in hand. I recall a personal quiz wherein syphilis and cancer seemed to be the alternative. Epithelioma was promptly chosen, whereas syphilis was the correct and vastly more probable diagnosis. This peculiarity of the student's mind may possibly be explained by the fact that in description, the more rare and malignant disease makes the more vivid impression, whereas in every day work the common form of disease is the first impression and may lead us into el’rol'. One other feature which has proven peculiarly satisfactory in its results, is in making the students assistants at all operations, also in appointing a critic whose duty and privilege it is to pass judg- ment upon aseptic details. The consciousness of this observation sometimes renders an enthusiast in asepsis, somewhat impractical as an assistant, but the ultimate result is good and familiarity with the details of operative technique, with the use of instruments, is effective discipline. He also has an opportunity to do minor sur- gical work under observation and to dress and seejdressed the cases in amphitheatre or in the wards. These are methods which, we believe, give to the graduate a confidence in himself, that otherwise could only be obtained after months or years of practice. It prepares him, at once, to assume 18 HOMOEOPATHIC BUILLETIN. such surgical responsibilities in his chosen location as must present to every practitioner.

OSCAR LESEURE, M. D. THE CLINIO FOR NERVO US DISEASES. The clinic for nervous diseases has steadily improved since the commencement of the year. Several interesting cases have been presented before the class, and a large number of nervous affections have been gone over clinically. Considering the fact that this clinic has only been established since October first, it is exceedingly gratify- ing to note its continuous improvement. W. A. DEWEY, M. D. REPORT OF GYNAECOLOGICAL CLINIC, OCTOBER 7TH TO DECEMBER 19th, 1896. Beginning with October 7th, 1896, when the first clinic of the year was held, this department has had eleven (11) clinical sessions, to which the seniors and juniors only, have had entrance. In these clinics the seniors have been made to partake by being placed as assistants and have been held to a strict accountability in every detail wherever they may have been placed in any operation or examination. In this short resumé I will not undertake to detail the actual number of patients that have been presented to the class, the inoper- HOMOEOPATHIC Bluſ LLET IN. 19 able cases, the number who have declined operative measures, nor the number of prescriptions given. Suffice it to say, that the class has been drilled carefully and practically in the minor details of conducting a clean examination, and has had ample opportunity to verify by sight, by finger touch and by uterine sound all of the minutiae of the work. Our compact class of seniors has a great advantage in all of these regards over classes with larger membership. The operative work of these clinics has consisted of the fol- lowing: Coeliotomies— Ovarian Cystoma............ ............................. .............. 1 Ventro-Suspension, Retroflexion......... • * * * is a e e s e o tº e s tº s e e º is a e s tº tº 1— Vaginal Broad-Ligament Section.......................................

O As) 7 In these twenty-seven (27) different operations one factor in the result obtained has been of such special prominence that I must mention it. Owing to the carefulness of our clinical aseptic methods we have seen but one single drop of pus, in the entire series of cases. That single aggregation of purulent infection incurred in one of the perineal operations (Tait Split Flap) attached to the under sur- face of the knot of a silk-worm gut suture and was of the size of a large pin head. It made no difference apparently in the complete new perimaeum secured to that woman, nor could we account for its appearance; but being the only infective appearance in any of the work of the session in this department it is deserving of mention. 20 FIOMOEOPATHIC Buſ LLETIN. S Of course, I leave out of consideration the two (2) septic cases —one puerperal and one gonorrhoeal—that were already infected when they were brought into the hospital. One other item deserves mention. In this department we are seeking results—not simply cases for exhibition—and in this series the result aimed at was attained in all of them except one. The ovarian cystoma case died on the fifth day after operation from a complication of exhaustion, induced by morphine habit; length of time of existence of tumor (4 years); high pulse (140) on entering hospital, and advanced age of patient (65). - These patients have been sent to this clinic by the Homoeo- pathic profession in Michigan, northwestern Ohio and northern Indiana—and I desire to thank them for the courtesies extended. The Obstetric Clinic has not been public. Here, I detail one senior to take entire charge of each case, from her entrance until her discharge. He, under the advice of the House-Surgeon, Head-Nurse and myself, conducts the patient through her pregnancy, labor and puerperium, on his own responsi- bility. He makes all examinations, prescriptions, the delivery, opera- tions and everything necessary to the proper care of both mother and child without others being about. So far this plan has worked admirably and will be continued. MYRON H. PARMELEE, M. D. EYE, EAR, AND THROAT CLINIC.

From the clinical record, for the accurate keeping of which much credit is due Dr. C. W. Ryan, Mr. A. J. Elliott and Mr. J. H. Ball, the regular and class assistants to this chair, a few notes have been taken to illustrate the nature of work done. Case 1. ECZEMA OF THE ExTERNAL EAR.—Miss S., aged 23, gave a history of eczematous eruption involving each ear for a year or more. She had used various ointments and local applica- tions with no avail. On each pinna was an eruption with a moist, sticky exudation. The skin of the whole external ear had an unhealthy look and wherever the surface was broken it was covered with a thin, watery, transparent fluid. In spite of the sore appearance of the ears the patient offered little resistance to handling them. Likewise the membranae tympani were ruptured and the patient had chronic otorrhea. All the symptoms were relieved in the open air. Graphites 6x was prescribed and the patient directed to report. In ten days she was perfectly well. Case 2. PERSISTENT HYALOID ARTERY.—Mr. H. G. C., aet. 54, presented himself October 27. He has always had poor sight and is worse on bright days. Until recently he has been engaged in the drug business and, consequently has been indoors most of the time. A change in occupation necessitates an outdoor life. At no time does he suffer pain but exposure to the glare of the sun makes him almost blind. - The pupil was dilated by means of homatropine and an opthalmo- scopic examination made. It revealed a dense, irregular opacity at HOMOEOPATHIC Blu LLETIN. 23 the posterior pole of the lens and a slight, oscillating strand attached to the optic disc. It was not difficult to decide that these vestiges are remnants of the hyaloid system which failed to disappear during foetal life. Aside from the scientific interest which attaches to this anomoly, ordi- narily it is of no further concern to the oculist. In a few other cases observed by the writer, persistent hyaloid remains had no effect upon the vision. The patients who presented this rare condition had been driven to the oculist by troubles due to other causes, and in the examination for these the abnormality was discovered. In this case, however, so much of the central field is covered by the persis- tent remains that in contraction of the pupil vision is seriously impaired. As in beginning cataract, on a dark day or in a moder- ately dark room there is sufficient dilatation to give good vision. Since by operative or other means there was no hope of removing the annoyance, the question of treatment was an unusual one. It was settled by prescribing a pair of medium-dark smoked glasses. The refraction was carefully tested and, in the lenses prescribed, a slight degree of astigmatism corrected. The patient was directed to wear the glasses whenever the light was strong enough to contract the pupil to the “blind point.” Protected by the colored lenses, in the sunlight even, the pupils dilated sufficiently to give the patient good sight past the central opacity. Case 3. CHRONIC LARYNGITIS.–Miss B., aet 18, domestic, entered November 10th. Last February she had pneumonia, and since that time had been unable to speak above a whisper. The whis- pered voice was hoarse and it required a decided effort to make her- self understood. She suffered no pain and there were few symptoms upon which to make a prescription. The laryngoscope rendered the diagnosis clear. The patient had treated persistently for the trouble and had taken great quantities of old school medicine. These drugs were discontinued of course and our prescription of Causticum substituted. Whether due to the withdrawal of heroic treatment or to our remedy, the patient made a rapid recovery and in three weeks regained nor- mal use of the voice. At this writing there has been no return of the difficulty. 24 HIOMOEOPATHIC BUILLETIN. Case 5. CATARACT EXTRACTION IN CLOSED CAPSULE.—Mr. B., a Swede, aet. 85, reported December 15th. He was unable to speak English and it was with great difficulty that we elicited any information from the patient. He was blind in both; eyes and evi- dently had been for a long time. The left cataract showed every evidence of being hypermature. It was decided to operate on this eye and, since, in all probability, the capsule was opaque, to extract the lens in the closed capsule. Pagenstecher’s method was employed and, without accident, the lens was lifted out of the eye. No vitreous was lost and the pupil was left clear and black. The patient made an uninterrupted recovery and on the 6th day was fitted to glasses. His sight was excellent and the old gen- tleman went home happy, showing his gratitude by unintelligible words and manifest signs of joy. * - R. S. COPELAND, M. D.

Pacific Coast J. of H. “Our correspondent at Ann Arbor writes that the Homoeopathic department has registered so far forty-four students,” that the new Homoeopathic hospital is full of patients, that notable additions have been made to the library and that the future of the school looks very bright. Certainly this is welcome news to all of us, for a strong and flourishing department at Ann Arbor would be of great value to the Homoeopathic school.

As to the Homoeopathic department of the University of Michigan, I am glad to be able to say that the school is on the upward grade and is one of the best manned, best equipped and most advanta- geously located of any in the country. I can most heartily recom- mend the school to your student as one admirably adapted to any who desire a thorough, practical and full course of medical instruc- tion. With the compliments of the season I am, Yours very truly, J. M. L.R.E. “Given an able and unselfish faculty, one commanding the respect of the President and the Board of Regents; given the loyal support of the Homoeopathic profession of this country and in a few short years we will all be proud of our department in the University of Michigan.” C. B. KINYON, M. D., Rock Island, Ill. “I am happy to be able to express my complete satisfaction with the reorganization of the college faculty. I believe they will prove good workers, and always be in touch with the profession, ready to advance the Interests of all, without deception or simula- tion. The college is now beyond any doubt upon safe and solid ground and will be maintained in the position of a first-class college.” J. C. Notting HAM, M. D., Bay City, Mich. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Dr. John J. Miller ('80) is the principal surgeon of San José, Cal. The Doctor has charge of the city and county hospital. Hom- Oeopathy always flourished in the beautiful capital of the Santa Clara valley. - . . . * HOMOEOPATHIC BUILLETIN. 27 The stairway on the east side of the Homoeopathic building has been removed, which greatly improves the appearance of the build- ing. This stairway will be remembered by the earlier graduates of the depatment as connected with the “cow’’ episode in which Prof. .S. A. Jones so keenly turned the edge of the joke toward the perpe- trators, that they gave the “little pill dean ’’ of those days a wide therth ever aftewards. A fine new microscope of the Bausch & Lomb make has just been purchased for the exclusive use of the Homoeopathic College. It is a beauty and the students are very proud of it, liking it better than any of those furnished in the laboratories. Dr. F. A. Cameron, of Owosso, class of ’84, recently visited the hospital bringing an interesting case of Ascites due to Tuber- ºcular Peritonitis. The Doctor was much surprised to find such a complete hospital in connection with the department. Dr. W. N. Fowler ('89), late superintendent of the University Hospital (Homoeopathic), is on his way to Africa as a medical mis- 'sionary. The Doctor expects to organize a hospital in Monrovia, Liberia. He spends the first year as travelling companion and medical attendant to Bishop Hartzell. Dr. L. E. Gallup, of Marshall, class of '79, brought an inter- esting case of Anchylosis to Dr. Leseures clinic. Dr. Gallup is full of reminiscences of early days at the College. Prof. Dewey was one of the chaperons at the recent leap year party, representing the Homoeopathic Department. - "Dr. F. A. Miner, class of '96, Assistant House-Physician at Grace Hospital gave the College a call and attended several clinics and lectures. The hospital is visited every month by some of the Regents. They express themselves gratified with the work and progress of the institution, which is at present more than paying expenses. Dr. D. M. Nottingham, of Lansing, visited the hospital a few weeks ago and expressed himself as pleased with the outlook. The Doctor has a son in the Literary Department. 28 HOMOEOPATHIC BULLETIN. Mr. Bailey, son of Dr. W. M. Bailey, of Detroit, is taking the combined Literary and Homoeopathic course. - Dr. G. F. Clark (’98), of Bay City, sent an interesting case to the surgical clinic recently. Dr. A. V. Avery ('91), of Parma, has favored the Opthalmo- logical clinic with a number of cases. Dr. G. D. Arndt ('88), recently gave us a call. Dr. W. A. Frost ('80), of Tecumseh, always remembers the department when he has an interesting case. Drs. Thompson, of Lapeer, and Walker, of Salem, have sons attending the college. Dr. Nyssens, of Brussels, Belgium, is at present in this country. He is much interested in this Department. The Doctor is one of the editorial staff of the chief Homoeopathic journal of Belgium. He will visit Ann Arbor in the near future. A series of articles on the Homoeopathic Colleges of America will appear in his journal. The Homoeopathic Building, since the advent of steam heat, lavatory, and lockers for the students, is a most comfortable place for them to spend their spare time. The journals in the reading room are carefully scanned every month. Dr. E. D. Osmun ('92), of Allegan, who was one of the first House-Physicians of the new hospital, recently visited the College, bringing an interesting patient to Prof. Parmelee's clinic. Dr. Oscar R. Long, of the Ionia Asylum, will shortly begin his course of lectures on Mental Diseases. - The Hahnemann Society, on the evening of January 9, gave a public reception to friends of the department. The interior of the college building on the campus was not recognizable owing to the profusion of decorations. The occasion was greatly enjoyed by the “houseful” of guests who responded to the invitation. Dr. A. R. Ball, of Corunna, visited the Department recently, bringing an interesting case to the eye clinic, requiring operation. HOMOEOPATEIIC BULLETIN. 29 ALUMNI ASSOCIATION. The following letter from Dr. J. M. Lee, President of the Alumni Association of this department, is of interest, showing the interest the Alumni take in their Alma Mater: ROCHESTER, N. Y., Dec. 16, 1896. EDITOR MIDWINTER BULLETIN:-We are glad to know that you and other loyal homoeopaths occupy the chairs in our Alma Mater. There is a great field of usefulness open for her, and it is sincerely hoped that this year may mark the beginning of a new era in the institution. When we consider the resources at Ann Arbor, no other school has greater possibilities, and I am sure that the Alumni will rally to the support of every well directed effort to place the Homoeopathic department in the foremost rank of medical colleges.

MICHIGAN UNIVERSITY HOMOEOPATHIC BULLETIN The faculty of the Homoeopathic Medical College of the Uni- versity of Michigan, desirous of presenting to the profession the status of the department at the present time, takes pleasure in the issuance of the first of a series of Bulletins to that end. To the profession of the State who have stood by the department throughout its vicissitudes; to those who have rallied so generously to its support after the removal bill was adversely decided by the Supreme Court: all, with the determination that the department, the pioneer of Homoeopathic representation in state universities, should not go down, our first thanks are due. To the Homoeopathic profession at large who have ever looked with jealous eye upon the Homoeopathic Department of the Univer- sity of Michigan, and who have been ever ready zealously to guard and defend the fair name of that department; to the numerous journals of our school who with kind words are encouraging us, and to whom the present era of prosperity is largely due, our grateful acknowledgment is hereby made. These encouragements, which have manifested themselves in an increase in the number of students exceeding that of any year since 1892; in a greater abundance of clinical material in the hospital than since the erection of the new building; in a more liberal atti- tude toward the department on the part of the faculties of all the other departments with whom our students come in contact, warrant us in soliciting a continuance of these favors. Obtaining these, our endeavors will be, not only to restore this department to the proud position it formerly occupied, but to realize the fondest hopes of that earnest band of pioneers to whom the school owes its origin. 4 HOMOEOPATHIC Bl] LLET IN. THE COLLEGE YEAR. The first semester of '96-'97 opened with all the students in attendance who had attended the year before, excepting, of course, the graduates of ’96. It is gratifying to the faculty that its efforts during the year ’95–96 were deserving of appreciation, and that they were of sufficient merit and promise to inspire every preceptor and student with confidence. The student is the “causa sine qua non ’’ of every institution of learning. Without him there can be no school, to him is every effort of the faculty addressed, for him is every demonstration, every lecture, every clinic. The faculty has kept constantly in mind the fact that the department exists, only, that it may assist in producing a generation of physicians who will realize to the fullest extent that they are to be the conservators and restorers of the public health, and that they shall be thoroughly grounded in the practical essen- tials of medicine, There entered the department at the opening of the semester twenty-one men and women who never had studied medicine. A number of these are university and college graduates: all but two came with sufficient credits from colleges to admit them to the fresh- man class without taking the entrance examination, or were admitted upon high school diplomas. There were admitted to the sophomore class six, to the junior class two, to the senior class four students who had studied in other medical schools. The four seniors and four others came from allo- pathic schools. There are in the department five students taking the six-year combination course that will graduate them with the degree in medicine and a degree in Science. This course is promising to be very popular and is certainly a very good one. The prosperity of a college is best determined by the number of its freshmen. Taking this as a criterion, there will be one hundred students in the College in 1899. This does not allow for the increase in the other classes which has been this year as follows: Sophomores six, Juniors two, and Seniors four. If this ratio can be maintained, HOMOEOPATHIC BUILLETIN. 5 and there is every reason to believe that it will be increased, next year's attendence will be as large as any the College ever had. Accomplishing this, the number will soon double itself. The num- ber of students enrolled in the Homoeopathic Department, accord- ing to the Steward's books, at the present time (January 10, 1897) is FORTY-EIGHT, as against twenty-seven last year, and twenty the previous year. The regents called to the college at the opening of the year Dr. W. A. Dewey who assumes the most important chair in a homoeo- pathic college, that of Materia Medica. This addition to the faculty is a most fortunate one, as it brings to the university a man of inter- national reputation in his specialty as well as one possessed of the rare instincts of a good teacher and the versatility that puts him among the foremost writers of the day upon subjects pertaining to medicine. The faculty exercises the right of passing upon all the work done by the homoeopathic students in the other departments. This prevents accident or oversight in allowing any one to go through the course without a thorough understanding of the various subjects. The inquiry is often made as to our methods of work. The Homoeopathic College is a department of the great university, there being beside a department of Literature and Science, Law, Engineer- ing, Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Old School Medicine. The policy of the university is that no part of any department shall be duplicated in another. This prevents the employment of unnecessary instruct- ors. To carry out this very wise plan, students of one department do parts of their work in another. For example, the instruction in medical jurisprudence is given in the Law Department, the work in general chemistry and physics is done in the Literary Department, the work in organic chemistry is done in the College of Pharmacy. The homoeopathic, the dental, the allopathic, and such other stu- dents as desire, take their anatomy, physiology, bacteriology, and other laboratory work together. The work in practical homoeopathy is done exclusively by the homoeopathic faculty in the homoeopathic building upon the univer- sity campus or in the beautiful amphitheatre at the hospital. W. B.

THE LIBRARY, The General Library of the University contains over 100,000 volumes and the records show that the number of books utilized by the students exceeds that of any other American university. The general medical library contains a large collection of standard med- ical works and journals. A yearly appropriation is allowed to the Homoeopathic Depart- ment and the library now contains nearly all of the standard works of our school.

W. A. D. THE LABORATORIES. The magnificent laboratories of the University of Michigan offer to students of homoeopathy better facilities than are to be found in any other institution, and belong equally to our students with those of other departments—the policy of the university being not to duplicate departments. The allopathic, dental and homoeopathic students get their chémistry from the chemical or pharmacal depart- ment, and the pharmacy students obtain their botany from the liter- ary department, also in laboratory work nothing is duplicated. HOMOEOPATHIC BULLETIN. 9 While in the past it may have been that homoeopathic students were often unjustly discriminated against in certain of the labora- tories, especially those presided over by old school physicians, such a course under the present system as has been elsewhere explained is impossible. All students stand upon an equal footing, no neglect, injustice or partiality is possible. The final decision rests in the hands of the homoeopathic faculty. All materials used in the laboratories are furnished, and our students are required to do the work in the anatomical, chemical, physiological, histological, pathological, bacteriological and embry- ological laboratories under the guidance of competent assistants, spending many hours daily in this work during the first two years of the course. The rare facilities offered our students for the prosecution of this practical branch of medical education is much appreciated and justly attracts many students from distant parts of the country. The teaching of the elementary and theoretical branches thus becomes intensely practical. LABORATORY OF EXPERIMENTAL PATHOGENESY. One of the fondest hopes of the lamented Carroll Dunham in connection with the founding of the homoeopathic college of the Uni- versity of Michigan was the establishment of a laboratory to be devoted to experimentation with drugs according to homoeopathic principles. During the early days of the department much useful work was done in what was nicknamed the “Barn Laboratory '' of the homoeo- pathic department; work that owing to difficulties, or, as Prof. S. A. Jones, its founder, aptly put it, the “aggravations’’ which beset the earnest workers of those days, we fear has been underestimated. We recall with pride, however, the work done on Pierie acid, Nitro- muriatic acid, and Plumbum aceticum, which emanated in the “Barn Laboratory”; work which greatly widens our knowledge of these drugs. It is an historical fact that this very “Barn Laboratory '' of the homoeopathic department was the original of the strictly medical lab- 10 HOMOEOPATHIC BLJ L LETIN. oratories of the University of Michigan; and it was noticed and even remarked by a member of the old school faculty: “That we (the allopaths) were talking science while the homoeopaths were doing it.” It is, therefore, a great pleasure to announce that the regents. at their last meeting authorized the establishment of a laboratory to be devoted to experimental pathogenesy and pharmacology; in other words, a laboratory wherein proving of drugs shall be conducted in accordance with the great fundamental principle of homoeopathy, aided by the methods of modern scientific research. An appropriation was made to carry the project into immediate execution, and we are pleased to state that we are now prepared for such research. Future numbers of this Bulletin, in all probability, will be devoted to a record of the work done in this laboratory. W. A. D. THE HOSPITAL AND CLINICS. The incrased number of patients in the hospital, has been fol- lowed, of necessity, by an increase in the working forces. Last year the offices of superintendent and house physician were held by one person, at present there is a separate superintendent and house phy- sician. The training school for nurses has been increased by three. A large invoice of new furniture has been ordered by the regents, and a number of new rooms have been fitted up. An elevator for the transportation of patients between the floors is to be put in, in fact, the outlook for the hospital is of the brightest. This is exceed- ingly gratifying, and the fact that this is the only hospital in the state under eacclusive homoeopathic control, should go far to entitle it to the support of the profession. The superintendent's books make the following showing: The hospital last year, from September 15, 1895, to March 1, 1896, had earned as much money as it earned during the previous year from September 15, 1894, to June 15, 1895. The number of patients this year ('96), compared month by month with last year ('95), is as follows: September, a gain of 50 per cent., October, a gain of 45 per cent., November, a gain of 90 per cent., December, a gain of HOMOEOPATHIC BULLETIN. 11 25 per cent. The hospital is closed every year from June 15 to September 15. GENERAL MEDICAL CLINIC. All general hospitals, whether situated in a large or small city, are unable to afford a certain kind of clinical material. They all refuse to admit infectious diseases. The student is fortunate if he sees a case of diphtheria, scarlatina, measles, erysipelas, typhoid fever, etc. The medical cases, exclusive of nervous affections, that have been in the hospital not including the out-clinic which is good, are classified as follows: Chronic enteritis 1, cerebro-spinal concus- sion 1, gonorrhoea 5, neuresthenia 5, intestinal obstruction 1, lingual ulcers 1, herpes circinatus 2, typhoid fever 1, rectal fissure 1, bron- chitis 3, congenital infantile syphilis 1, acquired syphilis 3, chronic gastritis 1, acute gastritis 2, tape. worm 1, la grippe 3, tubercular peritonitis 1, (This patient was tapped twice, the first yielded five, the second four gallons of ascitic fluid; the diagnosis was confirmed by an exploratory incision made by Dr. LeSeure), tubercular phthisis 3, tubercular laryngitis 1, general tuberculosis 1, goitre 1, herpes facialis 1, rheumatic arthritis 1, psoriasis 1, mitral insufficiency 2, folicular tonsilitis 1, simple ulcerative tonsillitis 1, lithiasis 1. CLINICAL LECTURE. By W. B. Hinsdale, M. D., Professor of Theory and Practice and Clinical Medicine. Reported by L. H. Stewart. Case 1.-The first case that I wish to present to the class to-day is Mr. L. M., age fifty-seven. He has the following history: Father died of lung or kidney trouble. Mother died during labor, age thirty-seven. The history on the mother's side is unobtainable. Fifteen or twenty years ago the patient was shot in the left temple which has left some deformity. The present trouble dates back seven years, and presents the following salient points. Patient was regularly employed in a store, but had occasion to go out to his farm to help stack some oats. The oats were very musty and the weather was very hot. The patient went home in the evening, sick. At this time his hands swelled. He recovered apparently from his illness, 12 HOMOEOPATHIC BUILLETIN. but since that time has had repeated attacks of oedema on various parts of his body. The swelling is preceded by burning and itching. He is quite apt to find some part of his body enormously swollen on getting up in the morning. He sleeps well, and is well appar- ently between these attacks, with the exception of some troublesome haemorrhoids and an occasional slight gastric irritation. During the attacks of Oedema he is nearly prostrated. The diagnosis in this case is Angio-Neurotic Oedema. The pathology in this disease is not clear, although the diag- nosis in this particular case is plainly indicated by the symptomatol- ogy. The condition, probably, has its origin in some interference with the trophic and vaso-motor nerves. It is, as the name indicates, in all probability a neurosis with similarity to some forms of urti- caria. There is a condition occasionally met with that resembles this very much in its clinical expression, called “giant hives.” It is not clear whether this last is a mild form of angio-neurotic oedema or a kindred neurosis. This case I should say is chronic, although the exacerbations come and go suddenly. There is no regularity about the peri- odicity, but the intervals are not longer than two or three days. The danger of the disease lies in the possibility of the oedema appearing in the pharynx or the larynx. Oedema glottidis is, no doubt, a very similar affection to the one under consideration. In fact, if this oedema should affect the glottis and cause the patient’s death we should not hesitate to give as the cause of death, Oedema glottidis. Further than the dangers to which I have referred, the prognosis in the case is not unfavorable, notwithstanding we might have an almost interminable struggle to cure. While the oedema is present it appears quite similar to a bee's sting, or of a number of severe stings, for the swelling is very great at times, so great when on the side of the face as to obliterate, seemingly, the eye, or when about the genitals to simulate an enor- mous orchitis and paraphymosis. Perhaps the swelling will come and go off in the short space of a half-day. The appearance of the oedema and the stinging pains that precede it, of course, bring to our mind Apis. This remedy I should say, would be effective at the time of the attacks, that is, it may be addressed to the oedema. HOMOEOPATHIC Blu I, LETIN. 13 But what of the neurosis? If the patient were to be with us for treatment we would go further into the therapeutics, but as he is referred for a diagnosis only, we will probably save ourselves great labor by passing to the next case. It is sometimes urged that clinics are unsatisfactory because we are unable, in all cases, to observe the entire treatment and note final results. Our next case is one in which these objections will not hold good, for the treatment was entirely our own and the result death. Case 2. —The history I can give you complete. Mr. Y., age twenty-six, single, American. Occupation, farmer. Was admitted November 7, Had had typhoid fever five years ago and scarlet fever four years ago. The recovery from these diseases was com- plete so far as he could tell. His family history was good. On November 2 he chopped down a bee tree and ate some of the honey. This was followed, in a few hours, by a pain in the abdomen. The next day he went to election and drank some cider, according to his statement, several glasses. Towards evening of that day he was taken with vomiting. The matter vomited was nearly black and very excoriating. The vomiting continued and the doctor who was called pronounced it intestinal obstruction. Up to the time when he came to the hospital, the vomiting had continued at brief inter- vals, and there had been no passage from the bowels since before the vomiting began. There was tenderness in the right iliac region. The progress and management of the case after he came to the hos- pital was as follows: A high rectal injection was given which resulted in a small passage of hard faecal matter. This seemed to relieve the patient somewhat. He complained of pain in the abdo- men in the evening and a turpentine stupe gave some relief to this symptom. He was very thirsty, but cold water aggravated the nausea. Hot water or hot milk were given with an occasional piece of ice in the mouth. Nux vomica was given every hour. The rectal injections were repeated twice on the eighth and again on the following morning. The last enema was followed by a free move- ment of the bowels, the first one since he was taken. A diar- rhoea began to develop and the abdomen to be distended with gas. The temperature was not at any time above a hundred. It 14 HOMOEOPATHIC Buſ L.L.ETIN. was more frequently observed to be a half degree below normal than above. Following the temperature as a criterion, it cannot be said that the patient had a “fever. hundred. On the evening of the eleventh the patient was bothered 3 5 The pulse varied from eighty to a with troublesome dreams. This mental condition gradually lapsed into a delirious stupor in which he would occasionally make an effort to get out of bed. The diarrhoea was involuntary and urine was voided in the bed. The stool was yellowish in color and of the “‘pea soup ’’ character. At no time was there any sign of haemor- rhage. The tongue gradually became brown and dry. The patient's strength grew less and less, but it was not by any means exhausted. But for the faithful attendance of the nurse, the teeth would have been heavily covered with sordes. The general condition of the patient corresponded to the typical typhoid condition. On the even- ing of his death, which was November 15, at eleven o’clock, the temperature at six was a shade sub-normal, at nine o'clock it was 100, just before death it was 104, three degrees and a half higher than it had been observed to be at any other time. When the typhoid symptoms began to manifest themselves, Bryonia was prescribed. On the occurrence of the involuntary stool, Phosphoric acid was given. When the mental aberations were con- siderable, Hyoscyamus was administered. An Alcohol sponge bath was given twice every twenty-four hours. The diet was hot milk until the nausea stopped, after that, warm milk. The patient did not seem to respond to any part of the treatment. His course could be rep- resented by the slant of a triangle that begins ten feet in the air and terminates in the earth. It took him ten days from the time we first saw him to slide from the apex of his triangle into the ground. What is the diagnosis? Was the whole condition due to eating the honey? Did the cider cut any figure in the case? Would he have been ill if these circumstances had not occurred 7 He said he had been feeling unusually well before eating the honey. Did he suffer and die from ptomaine poisoning? Did the obstruction of the bowels that was so prominent a symptom during the first eight days account for the phenomena? Did he have typhoid fever “without fever ?” There may be more reasons for thinking that he had none of these diseases than for thinking that he had any one of them. HOMOEOPATHIC Blu LLETſN. - 15 You have at least had the privilege of seeing the clinical picture that is described by the words “typhoid condition.” You may have seen one case with pronounced symptoms, and yet not one of them diagnostic. You have seen one case before which we have, in our feeble and finite efforts, stood practically unable to afford relief. You have seen one man die. Were we allowed the privi- lege of an autopsy our many questions would doubtless receive an 13,1] SW 62]”. - Case 3.−Our next case is one in which we have not been able to make a satisfactory diagnosis, but one that has made remarkable progress since he came to the hospital five weeks ago. This clearly illustrates that a diganosis is not an absolute ingredient of an homoeo- pathic prescription. The case is briefly as follows: Trouble began a year ago, and the man who is very intelligent gives the following account of himself; “First noticed that something was wrong one day when going up a ladder. Pain suddenly took me through the the chest and extended to shoulder. This grew worse gradually, and after a few days pain involved both shoulders. Soon after I became short of breath. Six months later had a bilious attack with vomit- ing and diarrhoea. In about ten days this stopped. Three weeks after, became bloated from ends of toes to waist chock’ full. This bloat passed off in a few days. Then began to have boils, and to get weaker. Am now, five months later very weak and emaciated.” While he is but forty-five years old he is as pale, gray, and wrinkled as a man of seventy. He is quite jaundiced, but says this is not so marked as a few days ago. His father died of consumption, mother of cancer, a sister of lung trouble, a family history that is certainly suspicious. The oedema of which he spoke, the boils, the general appearance of the man first caused us to look to the kidneys for trouble. A chemical and micro- scopical examination gives negative results. The great emaciation suggests anaemia, possibly of the pernicious type. Again a micro- scopical examination failed to confirm the suspicion. A physical examination shows the cardiac and respiratory functions to be fairly well performed. The appearance of the man again led us to search for the malarial plasmodium, but the result of the examination is again negative; however the failure to find the plasmodium is not 16 HOMOEOPATHIC B (JL LETIN. significant as it is not “visible” except when the fever is periodical with its stages marked. It has been suggested by one or two physi- cians that the patient is in the early stages of Addison’s disease. If the jaundice can be taken for bronzing and the p \lor of the mucous membrane in the mouth for the same, possibly we have a character- istic symptom, but we cannot say positively as to the real nature of the affection, as every theory upon which we have advanced has failed in a vital respect, unless it be that we fall back upon that mantle of indefiniteness and say malarial poisoning is the cause of the chain of symptoms that have followed since the time he had what he called the bilious attack. Cancer is suggested, but where shall we look for it? He has been to the surgical clinic and sent back as not having any surgical disease. At any rate, after he had been here ten days and after raking together symptoms the best we could, prominent among which are a slight gastric disturbance after eating, worse in the morning with bitter taste, we gave him Nux vomica. The result has been that after one month the patient has gained six pounds, is able to walk a mile, looks better, sleeps well, is so much improved that he thinks he will surely recover, whereas he was despondent. He is to leave the hospital tomorrow. It is safe to conclude that the affection is one of mal-nutrition and probably not organic or degenerative. THE SURGICAL CLINIC. It may be of interest to the friends of our Department to know something of the methods of study and work in the surgical division. The surgical clinic has been very satisfactory to both teachers and pupils, and our thanks are due to those who have kindly interested themselves in the success of the Department. The majority of the cases presented to the class have been interesting, mainly from the fact of their practical utility to the every day practitioner. Every effort is made to bring each member of the senior class directly in contact with the case presented, and to illustrate by touch and immediate observation, the particular points of diagnosis. Once the student has appreciated the sensation produced by contact of probe on denuded, necrosed or carious bone, HOMOEOPATHIC BTſ), LETIN. 17 he will not easily forget or mistake it; so with true fluctuation, so again with the soft, almost fluctuating sensation of a lipoma, the hard but elastic fibroma or the dense inelastic scirrhus. Having felt the difference between a varicocele, a hydrocele and a scrotal hernia, he has more than a theoretical knowledge of them and has their differential diagnosis. Each senior has also a period of special study and practical experience in the administration of anaesthetics, under the direct observation of the Assistant to the chair of Surgery. It is the intention to require each senior to record his cases anaesthetized and his observations upon the same, and to give such report in writing to the Surgeon. To further develop the study of surgical diagnosis, cases are assigned to each senior who is expected to present his case to the class, defending his diagnosis, if need be. It is extremely difficult for the student to select the most simple diagnosis first, to think first of the most common form of disease which may be illustrated by the case in hand. I recall a personal quiz wherein syphilis and cancer seemed to be the alternative. Epithelioma was promptly chosen, whereas syphilis was the correct and vastly more probable diagnosis. This peculiarity of the student’s mind may possibly be explained by the fact that in description, the more rare and malignant disease makes the more vivid impression, whereas in every day work the common form of disease is the first impression and may lead us into €I’rOI’. - One other feature which has proven peculiarly satisfactory in its results, is in making the students assistants at all operations, also in appointing a critic whose duty and privilege it is to pass judg- ment upon aseptic details. The consciousness of this observation sometimes renders an enthusiast in asepsis, somewhat impractical as an assistant, but the ultimate result is good and familiarity with the details of operative technique, with the use of instruments, is effective discipline. He also has an opportunity to do minor sur- gical work under observation and to dress and seejdressed the cases in amphitheatre or in the wards. These are methods which, we believe, give to the graduate a confidence in himself, that otherwise could only be obtained after months or years of practice. It prepares him, at once, to assume 18 HOMOEOPATHIC BULLETIN. such surgical responsibilities in his chosen location as must present to every practitioner.

Several interesting cases have been presented before the class, and a large number of nervous affections have been gone over clinically. Considering the fact that this clinic has only been established since October first, it is exceedingly gratify- ing to note its continuous improvement. * W. A. DEWEY, M. D. REPORT OF GYNAECOLOGICAL CLINIC, OCTOBER 7TH TO DECEMBER 19th, 1896. Beginning with October 7th, 1896, when the first clinic of the year was held, this department has had eleven (11) clinical sessions, to which the seniors and juniors only, have had entrance. In these clinics the seniors have been made to partake by being placed as assistants and have been held to a strict accountability in every detail wherever they may have been placed in any operation or examination. w In this short resumé I will not undertake to detail the actual number of patients that have been presented to the class, the inoper- HOMOEOPATHIC Blu LLETIN. 19 able cases, the number who have declined operative measures, nor the number of prescriptions given. Suffice it to say, that the class has been drilled carefully and practically in the minor details of conducting a clean examination, and has had ample opportunity to verify by sight, by finger touch and by uterine sound all of the minutiae of the work. Our compact class of seniors has a great advantage in all of these regards over classes with larger membership. The operative work of these clinics has consisted of the fol- lowing: Coeliotomies— Ovarian Cystoma............ ............................. • * * * * * * * c e s tº sº tº... 1 Ventro-Suspension, Retroflexion............................. ..... 1— Vaginal Broad-Ligament Section.......................................

It . 2.: In these twenty-seven (27) different operations one factor in the result obtained has been of such special prominence that I must mention it. Owing to the carefulness of our clinical aseptic methods we have seen but one single drop of pus, i the entire series of cases, That single aggregation of purulent infection incurred in one of the perineal operations (Tait Split Flap) attached to the under sur- face of the knot of a silk. wºrm gut suture and was of the size of a large pin head. It made no difference apparently in the complete new perinaeum secured to that woman, nor could we account for its appearance; but being the only infective appearance in any of the work of the session in this department it is deserving of mention. 20 HOMOEOPATHIC Blu LLETIN. Of course, I leave out of consideration the two (2) septic cases —one puerperal and one gonorrhoeal—that were already infected when they were brought into the hospital. One other item deserves mention. In this department we are seeking results—not simply cases for exhibition—and in this series the result aimed at was attained in all of them except one. The ovarian cystoma case died on the fifth day after operation from a complication of exhaustion, induced by morphine habit; length of time of existence of tumor (4 years); high pulse (140) on entering hospital, and advanced age of patient (65). These patients have been sent to this clinic by the Homoeo- pathic profession in Michigan, northwestern Ohio and northern Indiana—and I desire to thank them for the courtesies extended. The Obstetric Clinic has not been public. Here, I detail one senior to take entire charge of each case, from her entrance until her discharge. He, under the advice of the House-Surgeon, Head-Nurse and myself, conducts the patient through her pregnancy, labor and puerperium, on his own responsi- bility. He makes all examinations, prescriptions, the delivery, opera- tions and everything necessary to the proper care of both mother and child without others being about. So far this plan has worked admirably and will be continued. - MYRON H. PARMELEE, M. D. EYE, EAR, AND THROAT CLINIC.

From the clinical record, for the accurate keeping of which much credit is due Dr. C. W. Ryan, Mr. A. J. Elliott and Mr. J. H. Ball, the regular and class assistants to this chair, a few notes have been taken to illustrate the nature of work done. - Case 1. ECZEMA OF THE ExTERNAL EAR.—Miss S., aged 23, gave a history of eczematous eruption involving each ear for a year or more. She had used various ointments and local applica- tions with no avail. On each pinna was an eruption with a moist, sticky exudation. The skin of the whole external ear had an unhealthy look and wherever the surface was broken it was covered with a thin, watery, transparent fluid. In spite of the sore appearance of the ears the patient offered little resistance to handling them. Likewise the membranae tympani were ruptured and the patient had chronic otorrhea. All the symptoms were relieved in the open air. Graphites 6x was prescribed and the patient directed to report. In ten days she was perfectly well. Case 2. PERSISTENT HYALOID ARTERY.—Mr. H. G. C., aet. 54, presented himself October 27. He has always had poor sight and is worse on bright days. Until recently he has been engaged in the drug business and, consequently has been indoors most of the time. A change in occupation necessitates an outdoor life. At no time does he suffer pain but exposure to the glare of the sun makes him almost blind. The pupil was dilated by means of homatropine and an opthalmo- scopic examination made. It revealed a dense, irregular opacity at HOMOEOPATHIC BULLETIN. 23 the posterior pole of the lens and a slight, oscillating strand attached to the optic disc. - It was not difficult to decide that these vestiges are remnants of the hyaloid system which failed to disappear during foetal life. Aside from the scientific interest which attaches to this anomoly, ordi- narily it is of no further concern to the oculist. In a few other cases observed by the writer, persistent hyaloid remains had no effect upon the vision. The patients who presented this rare condition had been driven to the oculist by troubles due to other causes, and in the examination for these the abnormality was discovered. In this case, however, so much of the central field is covered by the persis- tent remains that in contraction of the pupil vision is seriously impaired. As in beginning cataract, on a dark day or in a moder- ately dark room there is sufficient dilatation to give good vision. Since by operative or other means there was no hope of removing the annoyance, the question of treatment was an unusual one. It was settled by prescribing a pair of medium-dark smoked glasses. The refraction was carefully tested and, in the lenses prescribed, a slight degree of astigmatism corrected. The patient was directed to wear the glasses whenever the light was strong enough to contract the pupil to the “blind point.” Protected by the colored lenses, in the sunlight even, the pupils dilated sufficiently to give the patient good sight past the central opacity. Case 3. CHRONIC LARYNGITIS.–Miss B., aet 18, domestic, entered November 10th. Last February she had pneumonia, and since that time had been unable to speak above a whisper. The whis- pered voice was hoarse and it required a decided effort to make her- self understood. She suffered no pain and there were few symptoms upon which to make a prescription. The laryngoscope rendered the diagnosis clear. The patient had treated persistently for the trouble and had taken great quantities of old school medicine. These drugs were discontinued of course and our prescription of Causticum substituted. Whether due to the withdrawal of heroic treatment or to our remedy, the patient made a rapid recovery and in three weeks regained nor- mal use of the voice. At this writing there has been no return of the difficulty. * 24 HIOMOEOPATHIC Blu I, LETIN. Case 5. CATARACT EXTRACTION IN CLOSED CAPSULE.—Mr. B., a Swede, aet. 85, reported December 15th. He was unable to speak English and it was with great difficulty that we elicited any information from the patient. He was blind in both eyes and evi- dently had been for a long time. The left cataract showed every evidence of being hypermature. It was decided to operate on this eye and, since, in all probability, the capsule was opaque, to extract the lens in the closed capsule. Pagenstecher's method was employed and, without accident, the lens was lifted out of the eye. No vitreous was lost and the pupil was left clear and black. The patient made an uninterrupted recovery and on the 6th day was fitted to glasses. His sight was excellent and the old gen- tleman went home happy, showing his gratitude by unintelligible words and manifest signs of joy. R. S. COPELAND, M. D. OPINIONS. “The Reorganized School should be given opportunity to dem- onstrate its ability to meet the requirements of the profession who 2 3 have stood by it in its troubles. Medical Century, Jan., 1897. “We feel that the Regents have taken good steps in the direc- tion of the ſulfilling of their promise to do all that was possible to make the department the best in the world.” FRANK KRAFT, M. D., Ed. American Homacopathist. “When we consider the resources at Ann Arbor, no other school has greater possibilities.” J. M. LEE, M. D., President Alumni Association, U. of M. “A renewed effort is being made to put the department on that high plane that it was intended by its founders it should occupy.” gº GATCHELL, Ed. Medical Era. HOMOIEOPATHIC BTJILLETIN. 25 The school at Ann Arbor has a “prominence which belong to it by virtue of what it offers to students.” H. R. ARNDT, Ed. Pacific Coast J. of H. “Our correspondent at Ann Arbor writes that the Homoeopathic department has registered so far forty-four students,” that the new Homoeopathic hospital is full of patients, that notable additions have been made to the library and that the future of the school looks very bright. Certainly this is welcome news to all of us, for a strong and flourishing department at Ann Arbor would be of great value to the Homoeopathic school. And we feel like congratulating the new faculty on its present unity, energy and enthusiasm, and wishing that their earnest labor may bring forth much fruit.” E. H. PORTER, Ed. North American Journal of Homoeopathy. “We have a right on the campus, we have sustained our school there for a long time, the clinical advantages during all these years have been advertised to be excellent and have been so proven.” C. E. FISHER, Ed. Medical Century. ‘‘I am delighted to hear that you are to have a pharmacological Laboratory—confine yourself to provings.” T. F. ALLEN, M. D., New York. “Its (The Departments) interests must be steadily watched and the efforts for its success wisely chosen and firmly maintained by the whole school and its friends.” 1. T. TALBOT, M. D., Boston, Mass. “That there is a prospect of doing something in the way of proving is very gratifying.” CONRAD WESSELHOEFT, M. D., Boston., Mass. “I am delighted to hear that the Homoeopathic Department of the University of Michigan is in such a flourishing condition; it * Now forty-eight. —ED. 26 HOMOEOPATHIC BULLETIN. should be heartily supported by the profession in Michigan and elsewhere. A grand future is open to it.” A. M. DUFFIELD, M. D., President of the Alabama Homoeopathic Medical Association. The following letter from Dr. J. M. Lee to the preceptor of one of our students is of interest: ROCHESTER, N. Y., Dec. 23, 1896. DEAR DOCTOR:-I have your communication of the 22nd inst. As to the Homoeopathic department of the University of Michigan, I am glad to be able to say that the school is on the upward grade and is one of the best manned, best equipped and most advanta- geously located of any in the country. I can most heartily recom- mend the school to your student as one admirably adapted to any who desire a thorough, practical and full course of medical instruc- tion. With the compliments of the season I am, Yours very truly, J. M. LEE. “Given an able and unselfish faculty, one commanding the respect of the President and the Board of Regents; given the loyal support of the Homoeopathic profession of this country and in a few short years we will all be proud of our department in the University of Michigan.” C. B. KINYon, M. D., Rock Island, Ill. “I am happy to be able to express my complete satisfaction with the reorganization of the college faculty. I believe they will prove good workers, and always be in touch with the profession, ready to advance the Interests of all, without deception or simula- tion. The college is now beyond any doubt upon safe and solid ground and will be maintained in the position of a first-class college.” J. C. Notting HAM, M. D., Bay City, Mich. NOTES AND COMMENTS. Dr. John J. Miller ('80) is the principal surgeon of San José, Cal. The Doctor has charge of the city and county hospital. Hom- oeopathy always flourished in the beautiful capital of the Santa Clara valley. HOMOEOPATHIC BUILETIN. 27 The stairway on the east side of the Homoeopathic building has been removed, which greatly improves the appearance of the build- ing. This stairway will be remembered by the earlier graduates of the depatment as connected with the “cow’’ episode in which Prof. S. A. Jones so keenly turned the edge of the joke toward the perpe- trators, that they gave the “little pill dean '’ of those days a wide berth ever aftewards. A fine new microscope of the Bausch & Lomb make has just been purchased for the exclusive use of the Homoeopathic College. It is a beauty and the students are very proud of it, liking it better than any of those furnished in the laboratories. Dr. F. A. Cameron, of Owosso, class of ’84, recently visited the hospital bringing an interesting case of Ascites due to Tuber- cular Peritonitis. The Doctor was much surprised to find such a complete hospital in connection with the department. Dr. W. N. Fowler ('89), late superintendent of the University Hospital (Homoeopathic), is on his way to Africa as a medical mis- sionary. The Doctor expects to organize a hospital in Monrovia, Liberia. He spends the first year as travelling companion and medical attendant to Bishop Hartzell. Dr. L. E. Gallup, of Marshall, class of ’79, brought an inter- esting case of Anchylosis to Dr. Leseures clinic. Dr. Gallup is full of reminiscences of early days at the College. Prof. Dewey was one of the chaperons at the recent leap year party, representing the Homoeopathic Department. Dr. F. A. Miner, class of '96, Assistant House-Physician at Grace Hospital gave the College a call and attended several clinics and lectures. The hospital is visited every month by some of the Regents. They express themselves gratified with the work and progress of the institution, which is at present more than paying expenses. Dr. D. M. Nottingham, of Lansing, visited the hospital a few weeks ago and expressed himself as pleased with the outlook. The Doctor has a son in the Literary Department. 28 HOMOEOPATHIC BULLETIN. Mr. Bailey, son of Dr. W. M. Bailey, of Detroit, is taking the combined Literary and Homoeopathic course. Dr. G. F. Clark (’98), of Bay City, sent an interesting case to the surgical clinic recently. Dr. A. W. Avery (’91), of Parma, has favored the Opthalmo- logical clinic with a number of cases. Dr. G. D. Arndt ('88), recently gave us a call. Dr. W. A. Frost ('80), of Tecumseh, always remembers the department when he has an interesting case, Drs. Thompson, of Lapeer, and Walker, of Salem, have sons attending the college. Dr. Nyssens, of Brussels, Belgium, is at present in this country. He is much interested in this Department. The Doctor is one of the editorial staff of the chief Homoeopathic journal of Belgium. He will visit Ann Arbor in the near future. A series of articles on the Homoeopathic Colleges of America will appear in his journal. The Homoeopathic Building, since the advent of steam heat, lavatory, and lockers for the students, is a most comfortable place for them to spend their spare time. The journals in the reading room are carefully scanned every month. Dr. E. D. Osmun ('92), of Allegan, who was one of the first House-Physicians of the new hospital, recently visited the College, bringing an interesting patient to Prof. Parmelee's clinic. Dr. Oscar R. Long, of the Ionia Asylum, will shortly begin his course of lectures on Mental Diseases. The Hahnemann Society, on the evening of January 9, gave a public reception to friends of the department. The interior of the college building on the campus was not recognizable owing to the profusion of decorations. The occasion was greatly enjoyed by the “houseful” of guests who responded to the invitation. Dr. A. R. Ball, of Corunna, visited the Department recently, bringing an interesting case to the eye clinic, requiring operation. HOMOEOPATHIC BULLETTN. 29 ALUMNI ASSOCIATION. The following letter from Dr. J. M. Lee, President of the Alumni Association of this department, is of interest, showing the interest the Alumni take in their Alma Mater: ROCHESTER, N. Y., Dec. 16, 1896. EDITOR MIDWINTER BULLETIN:-We are glad to know that you and other loyal homoeopaths occupy the chairs in our Alma Mater. There is a great field of usefulness open for her, and it is sincerely hoped that this year may mark the beginning of a new era in the institution. When we consider the resources at Ann Arbor, no other school has greater possibilities, and I am sure that the Alumni will rally to the support of every well directed effort to place the Homoeopathic department in the foremost rank of medical colleges. Yours very truly, J. M. LEE, President of the Alumni Association. LIST OF ALUMNI. WITH PRESENT ADDRESSES AS FAR AS KNOWN. 1877 Adams, E. E. Big Flat, Ark. 1878 Avery, A. B. Ponytiac. 1881 Avery, M.

SHED IN 1835, mºst class” DATE DUE iſ THE GROWNING EEſpººn UF PHABIG ºg - - - - - - ºf “ - BLOOD, AND BLOOD ALONE, is physiologically ascertained to be the essential and fundamental Principle of Healing, of Defense, and of Repair, in the human system; and this Principle is now proved, by con- stant clinical experience, to be practically available to the system in all cases, to any extent, and wherever needed, internally or externally. And the same overwhelming clinical demonstrations have also proved A FILM of BovrniMH: that the Vitality and Power of Bovine Shºwing the Pººr” ºntº Blood can be and are PRESERVED, unim- paired, in a portable and durable prepara- tion, sold by all druggists, and known as Bovinine: Microscopic examination of a film of Bovinine will show the LIVING BLOOD CORPUSCLES filling the field, in all their integrity, fullness, and energy; * ready for direct transfusion into the system by any and every mode of access known to medical and surgical practice; alimentary, rectal, hypodermical, or topical. In short, it is now an established fact, that if Nature fails to make good blood, we cam introduce it Nothing of disease, so far, has seemed to stand before it. - by Prof. R. R. Andrews, M.D. Apart from private considerations, these facts are too momentous to mankind, and now too well established, to allow any further reserve or hesitation in asserting them to the fullest extent. . - We have already duly waited, for three years; allowing professional experimentation to go on, far and near, through the disinterested enthu- siasm which the subject had awakened in a number of able physicians and surgeons, and these daily reinforced by others, through correspond- ence, and by comparison and accumulation of their experiences in a single medical medium adopted for that provisional purpose. It is now laid upon the conscience of every physician, surgeon, and medical instructor, to ascertain for himself whether these things are so; and if so, to develope, practise and propagate the great medical evangel, without reserve. They may use our Bovimime for their investigations, if they cannot do better, and we will cheerfully afford every assistance, through samples, together with a profusion of authentic clinical prece- dents, given in detail, for their instruction in the philosophy, methods and technique of the New Treatment of all kinds of disease by Bovine Blood, so far as now or hereafter developed. - ſº Among the formidable diseases overcome by the Blood Treatment, in cases hitherto desperate of cure, may be mentioned : Advanced Con- sumption; Typhoid Fever; Pernicious Anaemia; Cholera Infantum, In- anition, etc.; Haemorrhagic Collapse; Ulcers of many years standing, all kinds; Abscesses; Fistulas; - Gangrene; Gonorrhoea, etc.; Blood poison- ing; Crushed or Decayed Bones; Mangled Flesh, and great Burns, with Skin-propagation from points of skin; etc., etc. - - N. B. Bovinine is not intended to be, and cannot be made, an article of popular self-prescription. As it is not a stimulant, its extended em- ployment in the past has been, and the universal employment to which it is destined will be, dependent altogether on the express authority of attending physicians.
