THE CRUSADE AGAINST DYSENTERY.
WISE WORDS BY A PUTHICIAN.
Among the pernicious disessen incidental to life in the tropica dysontory takes an important place. The reasons for this are many and varied. It is, however, unnecessary to enumerate them here. The great fact which every resident in these countries, and therefore every possible sufferer, has to keep prominently in mind is ho to avoid this dread complaint in the first place, Aud, in the nex, how to take steps to cure it should he be unfortnante onungl to contract it.
Speaking broadly, no tropical disonso is more pestilential then dysentery, for it undermines the health, depresses the nervous system, reduces the Fone and vigour of the whole body, diminishes the catal energy, and, generally, interferes with the individual physical power of resistance aguiust disease. The result is that, unlike what happens in most other diseases, one attack. does not act as a preventive, but rather predisposes to another, thus rendering the weakened systom liable to still farther in Foads, until the condition of the sufferer in deplorable indeed, for he may be attacked by many after-effects, like abecos of tho Ever, dropsy, sourvy, and nervous afections of carious ports.
Bad as all this is, the patient's case is roudered stil morse by consideration of the fact that the general astrition of the body is lowered by life in libt climates, that the digestive system in' therefore depressed as well as the vitality, so list ho not only starts heavily handicapped in favour of the disease, hat also heavily handicapped against the conditions which make for recovery In these rospects dysentery may be said to re- semble typhoid fever on the ons haud, aud maria on the other, and the danger of both is too well known to used more than passing notice. As typhoid is dus to ulceration of the small intestine, so dysautery is dusto similar condition, of the large or lower bowel, while malaria and dysentery aro believed to have a close rela tion, the former predisposing to attacks of the latter,
The treatment of dysentory, like that of 1pphold, and, in great maasure, that of malaria, is admittedly one of diet. Milk, the blandest of foods, was, batil a comparatively short time ago. the sheet anchor of the physicias. In the very neute stages of the disasso many doctors are however, opposed to its use, and many patients aw not able to digest it, so that they grow alandily worse.
