COLIC. 889 ence there of a year, there was not a single death from this cause; and since tlien, extending over a period of twelve years, I have used the same treatment in the cure of a great many cases, and had it used under my supervision, w^ithout the loss of a single case; this treatment I give first, having the utmost confidence in its great value.
