THE SAFE WAY TO HEALTH
722 how often pleuro-pulmonary-lymphatic changes are demonstrable. A positive intracutaneous tuberculin test, a history of tuberculosis in other members of the family, and a record in the patient’s own career of dry pleurisy, swollen lymphatic glands, transitory heamoptyses, and protracted bronchites are all links in the chain of evidence connecting the patient’s ailments with the tubercle bacillus. Dr. Burnand’s willingness to accept diabetes, anaemia, and other constitutional diseases as the causes of patraquerie in a proportion of cases gives force to his main thesis, since it shows that he is not one of those who see tuberculosis in every deviation from the normal. WORMS AND "APPENDICITIS"
ROUNDWORMS and threadworms as a cause of appendicitis symptoms are the subject of a warning by Panisello, Jimenez, and Guernica (Arch. de med. infantil, Cuba, 1936, v., 284), who urge that examination of the faeces should never be omitted when there are colicky or appendicular symptoms in childhood. By way of illustration they cite the case of a child two years old, admitted to hospital very ill, with a three months’ history of diarrhoea and wasting. The abdomen was slightly distended and tender, the tenderness being greatest in the neighbourhood of McBurney’s point, and the faeces contained numerous ova of Ascaris lumbricoides and of brichocephalus, besides entamœbæ. Diarrhoea continued, with the passage of blood and mucus, and despite treatment-which included blood transfusion and the administration of santonin, Dover’s powder, and emetine--death followed in ten days’ time. At autopsy the intestine was found to contain ten roundworms with large numbers of threadworms, and the mucous membrane was hypersemic, with patches of acute inflammatory infiltration. The appendix was swollen, stiff, and elongated, and contained one asearis and numerous trichocephalidse ; its mucosa was inflamed.
THE SAFE WAY TO HEALTH THE Health and Cleanliness Council have issued for wide distribution a poster, with a forward-looking eye to the Empire Health Week which has been arranged for Oct. 4th-10th. The poster cannot escape attention ; it depicts Belisha beacons erected at a crossway with conspicuous metal studs, and the crossway bears in capitals the words " Cleanliness," while the legend below is " Where there’s dirt there’s danger." The Council, which can be addressed at 5, Tavistock-square, W.C.1, have a number of copies available for free distribution.
