What is the treatment of pediculosis capitis?
Treatment consists in the application of some remedy destructive to the pediculi and their ova. Crude petroleum is effective, one or two thorough applications over night being usually sufficient; in order to lessen its inflammability, and also to mask its somewhat disagreeable odor, it may be mixed with an equal part of olive oil and a small quantity of balsam of Peru added.
Tincture of cocculus indicus, pure or diluted, may also be applied with good results.
When the parts are markedly eczematous, an ointment of ammoniated mercury or [beta]-naphthol, thirty to sixty grains to the ounce may be used.
Daily shampooing with soap and water, and the twice daily application of a five per cent. carbolic acid lotion, together with the use of a fine-toothed comb, is a safe and efficient method for dispensary practice; as it is, indeed, for any class of patients.
How are the ova or their shells to be removed from the hair?
By the frequent use of acid or alkaline lotions, such as dilute acetic acid and vinegar, or solutions of sodium carbonate and borax.
Pediculosis Corporis.
Describe the symptoms of pediculosis corporis.
Pediculosis corporis is dependent upon the presence of the pediculus corporis (pediculus vestimenti), a larger variety than that infesting the scalp. It is characterized by more or less general itching, together with various inflammatory lesions and excoriations. As the parasites are to be found chiefly in the folds and seams of the clothing, visiting the skin for the purpose of feeding, the various symptoms—the minute hemorrhagic puncta showing the points at which they have been sucking, and the consequent papules, pustules and excoriations—are, therefore, to be found most abundantly on those parts with which the clothing comes closely in contact, as, for instance, around the neck, across the shoulders, around the waist, and down the outside of the thighs. It is uncommon in children.
State the diagnostic characters of pediculosis corporis.
The presence of the minute hemorrhagic puncta, the multiform character and peculiar distribution of the eruption. Careful search will almost invariably disclose one or more pediculi.
What is the treatment of pediculosis corporis?
The clothing and bed-coverings are to be thoroughly baked or boiled, the pediculi and their ova being in this manner destroyed; a thymol or carbolized boric-acid lotion may be used to relieve the cutaneous irritation.
When attention to the wearing apparel is not immediately practicable, ointments of sulphur and staphisagria, and lotions of carbolic acid, may be advised as temporary measures. The wearing of a bag of loosely woven texture containing some lump sulphur next to the skin is useful in such cases; at the temperature of the body the sulphur undergoes slow oxidation. In hairy individuals the malady is often persistent, due to the fact that ova have become attached to the hair and a new progeny soon hatched out. Continued treatment over a few weeks will usually suffice to rid the patient of their presence.
Pediculosis Pubis.
Describe the symptoms of pediculosis pubis.
Pediculosis pubis is a condition due to the presence of the pediculus pubis, or crab-louse. It is characterized by more or less itching about the genitalia, together with papules, excoriations, and other inflammatory lesions. The amount of irritation varies; it may be slight, or, on the other hand, severe. The parasite, which is the smallest of the three varieties, may be discovered upon close examination seated near the roots of the hairs, clutching the hair, with its head downward and buried in the follicle. The ova may be seen attached to the hair-shafts.
It infests adults chiefly, being in many instances probably contracted through sexual intercourse.
Is the pediculus pubis found upon any other part of the body?
Yes. Although its favorite habitat is the region of the pubes, it may, in exceptional instances, also infest the axillae, the sternal region of the male, the beard, eyebrows, and even the eyelashes.
State the diagnostic characters of pediculosis pubis.
The region involved, itching, variable amount of irritation, and, above all, the presence of the pediculi and their ova.
Name several applications prescribed for pediculosis pubis.
A lotion of corrosive sublimate, one to four grains to the ounce; infusion of tobacco; a ten to twenty per cent. ointment of oleate of mercury; ammoniated mercury ointment, and a five to ten per cent. [beta]-naphthol ointment. Repeated washings with vinegar or dilute acetic acid, or with alkaline lotions, will free the hairs of the ova.
Cysticercus Cellulosae.
Describe the cutaneous disturbance produced by the cysticercus cellulosae.
The presence of cysticerci in the skin and subcutaneous tissue gives rise to pea to hazelnut-sized, rounded, firm, movable tumors which, when developed, may remain unchanged for months. The parasites are disclosed by microscopic examination.
Most of the cases have been observed in Germany.
Filaria Medinensis. (Synonym: Guinea-worm.)
State the character of the lesions produced by the filaria medinensis.
The young microscopic worm penetrates the skin or deeper tissue, where it grows gradually, finally reaching several inches or more in length and about a half-line in thickness; inflammation is excited and a tumor-like swelling makes its appearance, which, sooner or later, breaks, disclosing the worm. It may also present a cord-like appearance. It is rarely met with outside of tropical countries.
Treatment consists in gradual extraction, or in the injection of a corrosive sublimate solution (1:1000) into the forming tumor. Asafetida internally has been found to be curative, the parasite being destroyed and subsequently absorbed or discharged.
Ixodes. (Synonym: Wood-tick.)
State the character of the cutaneous disturbance produced by the ixodes.
The tick sticks its proboscis into the skin and sucks blood until it is several times its natural size, and then falls off; an urticarial lesion results. If caught in the act the animal should not be forcibly extracted, as its proboscis may be thus broken off and remain in the skin, and give rise to pain and inflammation. It may be made to relinquish its hold by placing on it a drop of an essential oil.
A thymol or carbolized boric-acid lotion will relieve the irritation.
Leptus. (Synonym: Harvest-mite.)
State the characters of the lesion produced by the leptus.
This minute brick-red mite buries itself in the skin, especially about the ankles and feet, giving rise to papules, vesicles and pustules.
Treatment consists of the use of a mild sulphur ointment or of a carbolic-acid lotion.
[OE]strus. (Synonym: Gad, or Bot-fly.)
Describe the cutaneous disturbance produced by the [oe]strus.
The ova are deposited in the skin, develop and give rise to the formation of furuncle-like tumors with central aperture, through which a sanious discharge exudes; or as the result of the burrowing of the larvae, irregular serpiginous lines or wheals are produced.
It is chiefly met with in Central and South America.
Larva migrant, or creeping disease, is doubtless in this same class. It is characterized by a thread-like linear formation of an erythematous, erythemato-papular, or vesicular nature that gradually extends, the older part disappearing; considerable surface may be covered before the parasite disappears or dies. The treatment consists in endeavoring to destroy the organism by means of excision or caustic applications at the point of its suspected site which is just ahead of the extending line.
Pulex Penetrans. (Synonyms: Sand Flea; Jigger.)
Describe the cutaneous disturbance produced by the pulex penetrans.
This microscopic animal penetrates the skin, especially about the toes, producing an inflammatory swelling, vesicle or pustule, or even ulceration. It is met with in warm and tropical countries.
Treatment consists in extraction. Essential oils are used as a preventive. A carbolic-acid or alkaline lotion relieves irritation.
Cimex Lectularius. (Synonym: Bed-bug.)
Describe the characters of a bed-bug bite.
An inflammatory papule or wheal-like lesion results, somewhat hemorrhagic; the purpuric or hemorrhagic point or spot remains after the swelling subsides, but finally, in the course of several days or a few weeks, disappears.
Treatment consists in the application of alkaline or acid lotions.
Culex. (Synonym: Gnat; Mosquito.)
Describe the cutaneous disturbance produced by the culex.
It consists of an erythematous spot or a wheal-like lesion.
Alkaline or acid lotions usually give relief.
Pulex Irritans. (Synonym: Common Flea.)
Describe the cutaneous disturbance produced by the pulex irritans.
It consists of an erythematous spot with a minute central hemorrhagic point. In irritable skin, a wheal-like lesion may result.
Treatment consists of applications of camphor or ammonia-water; carbolic acid and thymol lotions are also useful.

SAUNDERS' TEXT-BOOKS CONTINUE TO GAIN
The list of text-books recommended in the various colleges again shows a decided gain for the Saunders publications. During the present college year, in the list of recommended books published by 164 colleges (the other 23 have not published lists), the Saunders books are mentioned 3278 times, as against 3054 the previous year—an increase of 224. In other words, in each of the medical colleges in this country an average of 20 (18-2/5 the previous year) of the teaching books employed are publications issued by W. B. Saunders Company. That this increase is not due alone to the publication of new text-books, but rather to a most gratifying increase in the recommendation of text-books recognized as standards, is at once evident from the following: Ashton's Gynecology shows an increase of 19; DaCosta's Surgery, an increase of 12; Hirst's Obstetrics, 14; Howell's Physiology, 25; Jackson on the Eye, 16; Sahli's Diagnostic Methods, 11; Scudder's Fractures, 11; Stengel's Pathology, 13; Stelwagon on the Skin, 11. These are but examples of similar remarkable gains throughout the entire list, and is undoubted evidence that the Saunders text-books are recognized as the best.

Bandler's
Medical Gynecology
* * * * *
Medical Gynecology. By S. Wyllis Bandler, M.D., Adjunct. Professor of Diseases of Women, New York Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital. Octavo of 680 pages, with 135 original illustrations. Cloth, $5.00 net; Half Morocco, $6.50 net.
JUST READY—EXCLUSIVELY MEDICAL GYNECOLOGY
This new work by Dr. Bandler is just the book that the physician engaged in general practice has long needed. It is truly the practitioner's gynecology—planned for him, written for him, and illustrated for him. There are many gynecologic conditions that do not call for operative treatment; yet, because of lack of that special knowledge required for their diagnosis and treatment, the general practitioner has been unable to treat them intelligently. This work gives just the information the practitioner needs. It not only deals with those conditions amenable to non-operative treatment, but it also tells how to recognize those diseases demanding operative treatment, so that the practitioner will be enabled to advise his patient at a time when operation will be attended with the most favorable results. The chapter on Pessaries is especially full and excellent, the proper manner of introducing the pessary being clearly described and illustrated with original pictures that show plainly the correct technic of this procedure. The chapters on Vaginal and Abdominal Massage, and particularly that on Artificial Hyperemia and Anemia, are extremely valuable to the practitioner. They express the very latest advances in these methods of treatment. Hydrotherapy, especially the Ferguson and Nauheim baths, are treated in extenso, and Electrotherapy receives the full consideration its importance merits. Pain as a symptom and its alleviation is dealt with in an unusually practical way, its value as an aid in diagnosis being emphasized. Gonorrhea and Syphilis and their many complications are treated in detail, every care being taken to have these sections—of special interest to the practitioner—complete in every particular. Other chapters of great importance are those on Constipation, Sterility, Associated Nervous Conditions in Gynecology, and Pregnancy and Abortion.
Kelly and Noble's Gynecology
and Abdominal Surgery
Gynecology and Abdominal Surgery. Edited by Howard A. Kelly, M.D., Professor of Gynecology in Johns Hopkins University; and Charles P. Noble, M.D., Clinical Professor of Gynecology in the Woman's Medical College, Philadelphia. Two imperial octavo volumes of 900 pages each, containing 650 illustrations, mostly original. Per volume: Cloth, $8.00 net; Half Morocco, $9.50 net.
BOTH VOLUMES NOW READY
WITH 650 ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS BY HERMANN BECKER
AND MAX BROEDEL
In view of the intimate association of gynecology with abdominal surgery the editors have combined these two important subjects in one work. For this reason the work will be doubly valuable, for not only the gynecologist and general practitioner will find it an exhaustive treatise, but the surgeon also will find here the latest technic of the various abdominal operations. It possesses a number of valuable features not to be found in any other publication covering the same fields. It contains a chapter upon the bacteriology and one upon the pathology of gynecology, dealing fully with the scientific basis of gynecology. In no other work can this information, prepared by specialists, be found as separate chapters. There is a large chapter devoted entirely to medical gynecology, written especially for the physician engaged in general practice. Heretofore the general practitioner was compelled to search through an entire work in order to obtain the information desired. Abdominal surgery proper, as distinct from gynecology, is fully treated, embracing operations upon the stomach, upon the intestines, upon the liver and bile-ducts, upon the pancreas and spleen, upon the kidney, ureter, bladder, and the peritoneum. Special attention has been given to modern technic and illustrations of the very highest order have been used to make clear the various steps of the operations. Indeed, the illustrations are truly magnificent, being the work of Mr. Hermann Becker and Mr. Max Broedel, of the Johns Hopkins Hospital.
Ashton's
Practice of Gynecology
* * * * *
The Practice of Gynecology. By W. Easterly Ashton, M.D., LL.D., Professor of Gynecology in the Medico-Chirurgical College, Philadelphia. Handsome octavo volume of 1096 pages, containing 1057 original line drawings. Cloth, $6.50 net; Half Morocco, $8.00 net.
RECENTLY ISSUED—NEW (3d) EDITION
THREE EDITIONS IN EIGHTEEN MONTHS
Three editions of this work have been demanded in eighteen months. Among the new additions are: Colonic lavage and flushing, Hirst's treatment for vaginismus, Dudley's treatment of cystocele, Montgomery's round ligament operation, Chorio-epithelioma of the Uterus, Passive Incontinence of the Urine, and Moynihan's methods in Intestinal Anastomosis. Nothing is left to be taken for granted, the author not only telling his readers in every instance what should be done, but also precisely how to do it. A distinctly original feature of the book is the illustrations, numbering about one thousand line drawings made especially under the author's personal supervision from actual apparatus, living models, and dissections on the cadaver. These line drawings show in detail the procedures and operations without obscuring their purpose by unnecessary and unimportant anatomic surroundings.
Howard A. Kelly, M.D.
Professor of Gynecology, Johns Hopkins University.
"It is different from anything that has as yet appeared. The illustrations are particularly clear and satisfactory. One specially good feature is the pains with which you describe so many details so often left to the imagination."
Charles B. Penrose, M.D.,
Formerly Professor of Gynecology, University of Pennsylvania.
"I know of no book that goes so thoroughly and satisfactorily into all the details of everything connected with the subject. In this respect your book differs from the others."
George M. Edebohls, M.D.
Professor of Diseases of Women, New York Post-Graduate Medical School. "I have looked it through and must congratulate you upon having produced a text-book most admirably adapted to teach gynecology to those who must get their knowledge, even to the minutest and most elementary details, from books."
Webster's
Diseases of Women
* * * * *
Diseases of Women. By J. Clarence Webster, M.D. (Edin.), F.R.C.P.E., Professor of Gynecology and Obstetrics in Rush Medical College. Octavo of 712 pages, with 372 illustrations. Cloth, $7.00 net; Half Morocco, $8.50 net.
RECENTLY ISSUED—FOR THE PRACTITIONER
Dr. Webster has written this work especially for the general practitioner, discussing the clinical features of the subject in their widest relations to general practice rather than from the standpoint of specialism. The magnificent illustrations, three hundred and seventy-two in number, are nearly all original. Drawn by expert anatomic artists under Dr. Webster's direct supervision, they portray the anatomy of the parts and the steps in the operations with rare clearness and exactness.
Howard A. Kelly, M.D., Professor of Gynecology, Johns Hopkins University.
"It is undoubtedly one of the best works which has been put on the market within recent years, showing from start to finish Dr. Webster's well-known thoroughness. The illustrations are also of the highest order."

Uterine Adenomyoma
* * * * *
Uterine Adenomyoma. By Thomas S. Cullen, M.D., Associate Professor of Gynecology, Johns Hopkins University. Octavo of 275 pages, with original illustrations by Hermann Becker and August Horn. Cloth, $5.00 net.
JUST READY
Dr. Cullen's large clinical experience and his extensive original work along the lines of gynecologic pathology have enabled him to present his subject with originality and precision. The work gives the early literature on adenomyoma, traces the disease through its various stages, and then gives the detailed findings in a large number of cases personally examined by the author. Formerly the physician and surgeon were unable to determine the cause of uterine bleeding, but after following closely the clinical course of the disease, Dr. Cullen has found that the majority of these cases can be diagnosed clinically. The results of these observations he presents in this work. The entire subject of adenomyoma is dealt with from the standpoint of the pathologist, the clinician, and the surgeon. The superb illustrations are the work of Mr. Hermann Becker and Mr. August Horn, of the Johns Hopkins Hospital.

RECENTLY ISSUED—NEW (2d) EDITION
WITH 701 ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS
The new edition of this work has just been issued after a careful revision. As diagnosis and treatment are of the greatest importance in considering diseases of women, particular attention has been devoted to these divisions. To this end, also, the work has been magnificently illuminated with 701 illustrations, for the most part original photographs and water-colors of actual clinical cases accumulated during the past fifteen years. The palliative treatment, as well as the radical operative, is fully described, enabling the general practitioner to treat many of his own patients without referring them to a specialist. The author's extensive experience renders this work of unusual value.

Immediately on its publication this work took its place as the leading text-book on the subject. Both in this country and abroad it is recognized as the most satisfactorily written and clearly illustrated work on obstetrics in the language. The illustrations form one of the features of the book. They are numerous and the most of them are original. In this edition the book has been thoroughly revised. More attention has been given to the diseases of the genital organs associated with or following childbirth. Many of the old illustrations have been replaced by better ones, and there have been added a number entirely new. The work treats the subject from a clinical standpoint.

OPINIONS OF THE MEDICAL PRESS
* * * * *
British Medical Journal
"The popularity of American text-books in this country is one of the features of recent years. The popularity is probably chiefly due to the great superiority of their illustration over those of the English text-books. The illustrations in Dr. Hirst's volume are far more numerous and far better executed, and therefore more instructive, than those commonly found in the works of writers on obstetrics in our own country."
Bulletin of Johns Hopkins Hospital
"The work is an admirable one in every sense of the word, concisely but comprehensively written."
The Medical Record, New York
"The illustrations are numerous and are works of art, many of them appearing for the first time. The author's style, though condensed, is singularly clear, so that it is never necessary to re-read a sentence in order to grasp the meaning. As a true model of what a modern text-book on obstetrics should be, we feel justified in affirming that Dr. Hirst's book is without a rival."

JUST ISSUED
Regularly every year a new edition of this excellent text-book is called for, and it appears to be in as great favor with physicians as with students. Indeed, this book has taken its place as the ideal work for the general practitioner. The author presents the best teaching of modern gynecology, untrammeled by antiquated ideas and methods. In every case the most modern and progressive technique is adopted, and the main points are made clear by excellent illustrations. The new edition has been carefully revised, much new matter has been added, and a number of new original illustrations have been introduced. In its revised form this volume continues to be an admirable exposition of the present status of gynecologic practice.
