On page 345 (of Gleanings), Mr. Chalon Fowls, also the editor, goes into spasms about Gallup's cold-water treatment for bee-stings. Now I propose to show that their conclusions about cold water driving any disease in, and causing conges- lion, is entirely wrong. The facts are the reverse. It draws poison out instead of driving it in. I once treated 76 cases of measles, in both old and young. In six weeks. Not one of the cases were sick in bed over three days, and there was no relapse and no taking cold. All were put in the cold pack to bring out the measles. So rapid and quick were the recoveries that the doctors said they could not be measles. The medical doctors had nine cases at the same time, and three of their cases died, and the other six made a slow recovery. Of course their cases were genuine measles ! Dr. Brandt, of Stettin, Germany, uses cold water for typhoid fevers, and only has lost about two per cent.; and they have adopted the Brandt treatment in the hospitals in Germany and France. Before adopting the Brandt treatment the death rate was 42 per cent., and since, it only averages 7 per cent., and Dr. Brandt says that the reason why they lose the 7 per cent., is because they go at it half-hearted, and not as heroic as they should. I have never lost but three cases in all my 42 years' practical experience, and those three had perforation of the bowels before I had anything to do with them. Dr. Page, of Boston, has treated successfully patients in New York, St. Paul, and other places, by telegraph, with the Brandt method. I quote from a small pamphlet by Dr. W. E. Forest. He says : A Dr. Fenwick, reviewing the results of the treatment of 1,000 cases of pneumonia at the London hospital—the conclusion he drew was that the best results were obtained by the use of Ice sponging and packs. Instead of mentioning 28 drugs, as Dr. A. K. Hill, of New York, did, he ment
