D. WHEN NAPOLEON fell ill on the island of St. Helena, shortly before his death, he was visited by a young English army surgeon, who reported that the emperor . had passed a 1 “tolerably tran quil night; his [ pulse was 76, heat 96.” This, is one of the earli est records of the body tempera ture in disease ever made. Long before, indeed, the canny old professor of medicine at the Italian univer i sity of Padua, Sanctorius. had attempted .o SoK-Sra&L *. • > L^9S@f »sga|Bgl : : : Dr. Clendening take the body temperature with a very clumsy ap paratus in which a globe about the size of a golf ball was held in the patient's mouth. These observations, however, made no impression on the medical world, and it was not until the end of the eighteenth century that the question of the body's heat began to be de bated. The first thermometers generally used were very much like the ther mometers we use to observe the weather, only larger. A physician in Edinburgh, who worked with them in 1867, said that he used to carry his thermometer under his arm into the wards as one might carry a gun. Those thermometers did not have the small air bulb w'ith which our pres ent clinical thermometers are 1 equipped. I was reminded of this by receiv ing today a book from London, on the fly-leaf of which was the «igna Sailing for peace conference, f peace with Germany, and his ad dress of Sept. 27, 1918, promising justice even to “those to whom we do not wish to be just’’.' because of these speeches, overtures of Germany for peace were directed to him. When the peace confer ence was held, Wilson attended in person, and was greeted in Europe as a prophet of justice and the hone of tho world. /' £ Jb ißp | First clinical thermometer, invented i by Sanctorius. modeled on air ther mometer of Galileo. Left, the instru ment; riyht, the instrument in use I ture of Clifford Allbutt. He it was who invented the small handy clini cal thermometer which we now use. It will tit in the vest pocket, and being equipped with the bulb I have just mentioned, when the tempera ture is recorded the mercury does not fall, so that the nurse or phy sician can read it at their conveni ence. Dr. Allbutt passed away only a few days ago. after holding the post of regius professor of medicine at Cambridge. It is strange to think that this fundamental method of ex amination in modern medicine should have been perfected only such a short time ago. The first graphic temperature chart—that is, continuous chart — was made by Dr. Traube, a German physician, who recorded these charts about the year 1850. EDITOR'S NOTE: Six pamphlets by Dr. Clendening can now be ob tained by sending 10 cents in coin, for each, and a self-addressed envelope stamped with a three-cent stamp, to Dr. Logan Clendening. in care of this paper.
