l ne reaction or umeran peopio
to flea bites varies widely. In the
San Francisco Bay region, which
abounds in fleas, they do not en
croach on the rights of most of
the local population, but are a
source of great misery to new
comers until they acquire an im
munity. This usually takes sev
eral months, and in rare instances
is never acquired.
With insects which poison by
injecting a fluid under the skin,
an extract can bo made of the
stinging part of the insect—heads
of mosquitoes, tails of bees and
wasps—and a solution of the of
fending agent obtained for im
munizing purposes.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
M. L. F.—"I would like infor
mation concerning tuberculosis of
the bone. I have not been abie to
find anything about this particu
lar form of tuberculosis. Have
there been no studies made of it?
Or is it rather unimportant in
comparison to other forms the dis
ease has taken?"
Answer—Tuberculosis of the
bone has been the subject of a
great many studies and is a very
important subject. Orthopedic
surgeons deal with it constantly.
It occurs usually in children and
affects most often the bones of the
spine, of the hip, the knee and the
elbow. It may run along for a long
time and be called "rheumatism"
or "growing pains." Treatment is
by rest, immobilization of the part
by braces or casts, and the general
treatment of tuberculosis. Great
success has been obtained by expo
sure to sunlight in high mountain
climates—the method of Rollier.
H. S. M.—"When one has fever
does sponging off with soda water
do more harm than good?"
Answer—Sponging in high fe
vers is probably the best method
of treatment that we have. It is
not necessary, however, to use
soda water. Plain, tepid water, of
a temperature of about 75 should
be used and during the bath th®
temperature can gradually be re
duced to 65. The patient should be
sponged one limb at a time, then
the abdomen and chest in front,
then the back, keeping the rest of
the body covered. The sponge bath
should last about 10 minutes.
