To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It seems to me that, without forgetting the importance of the new pathological elements that have been made known in late years by the advances in bacteriology, we should not abandon our old ideas that^re based on experience. In place of pinning our faith on any one agent we should treat diarrhea by a series of methods which should be varied according to the. case. First of all, the diet or regimen must be regulated. Be sure of the quality of the wet nurse ; or, if the child is old enough, let ...its food be well looked after. Next, as to medication, use some antiseptic intestinal drugs, and add some of the agents that modify the mucous membranes. The first lot would be salol, calomel, lactic acid, et cetera, and the second, bismuth, chalk, limewater, perchlo- rate of iron, et cetera. These will calm the flux, and produce the effect of a poultice, at lea^. Laudanum has the sanction and experience of many years, and a host of doctors who advise it. • We know its power and its danger, but we also know that properly handled it will stop intestinal secretion and act as a tonic to the heart.
