Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1914, Vol. 148 Etiology. The ages of the patients varied from nine months to fourteen years. In three instances two members of a family were admitted, and in a fourth instance two cousins living in the same house. It was further observed that although only in a very few instances could a direct or indirect contact with a patient suffering from the disease be recorded, at any one time the majority of patients came from the same general locality in New York. Inquiries were made as to the prevalence of flies and other insects in the house, and subsequent to the communication of Rosenau2 on the conveyance of infection by the stable fly (stomoxys calcitrans), the proximity of the home to stables was in all cases inquired into. Neither the prevalence of insects nor the neighborhood of stables was found to be a usual occurrence. In many cases the parents suggested some slight accident or some dietary indiscretion as the cause of the condition, but in no case could a predisposing cause be ascertained. In View of the possible importance of the nose and throat as the point of entrance of the infection, the tonsils were in all cases inspected.3 Simple inspection is unsatisfactory in estimating the size or condition of tonsils, but in 37 cases they were noted as somewhat enlarged and congested, in 18 cases as enlarged, and in 4 as slightly congested. In the remaining 31 they were noted as normal or were not examined, as occurred in two rapidly fatal cases. In the case of 8 children whose tonsils were noted as enlarged and congested, 21 other children in their families were examined, and of these in 16 the tonsils were noted as Showing no enlargement or congestion. In 15 cases the tonsils were enucleated, and on removal usually proved to be larger than inspection had led one to expect.

Garrod (1890) Bannatyne Spender and Hale White Recently, A. E. Garrod (1910) in Albutt and Rolleston's System, has sharply distinguished (1) osteoarthritis osteoarthritis deformans from (2) rheumatoid arthritis primary chronic progressive polyarthritis) and from (3) the articular lesions of infectious diseases. The whole subject of the chronic arthropathies is being further illuminated in England through the investigations of the Committee for the Study of Special Diseases at Cambridge; the reports of Strangeways and Nicholson and their associates in the Bulletins of the Committee are a mine of information for all who are interested in chronic arthritis.

Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1918, Vol. 156 The animal organism, except that of the unicellular type, is a congerie of organs whose history, individually considered, as it is thus far revealed, constitutes the sciences we call comparative embryology and comparative physiology and which we must know, not only to comprehend the full significance of the work they now perform, but also to recognize and interpret the possible variants from the normal in function and structure which they may manifest. This history, in invertebrates as in vertebrates, is one of change either in structure or in function, or, often, in both structure and function, and, accordingly, frequently confusing and difficult to follow in any attempt to gain a full comprehension of the conditions and forces that determined the character of each organ.

Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1917, Vol. 154 Pain was very strikingly relieved in many of the cases; discharge diminished in quantity and odor. If the patient's symptoms improved, but the lesions did not Show improvement, the case was not considered improved. Unimproved means that the patient's lesions or symptoms or both were not improved and that the lesions steadily progressed despite treatment. Some of the cases showed such marked improvement under treat ment at first that although they subsequently died it was deemed important to call attention to this class of cases by tabulating them under the heading of primarily improved, subsequently died. Our experience has led us to expect certain cases to do very well under treatment at first and raise great hopes of recovery in the patient and the therapeutist. Such cases have frequently been reported in the literature during this stage of improvement, and not uncommonly the patients have relapsed and died by the time the reports have been published. Some cases are improved but still unde'r treatment, so that their ultimate results are not known. These are classified in the column improved, still under treat ment.
