In this so-styled vey pure form, I find it disagrees with the stomach. In this, as in the cod-liver oil, and, probably, all other mal oils, a large proportion of stearine promotes the digestibility of the oil. The suitable kind of neat's-foot oil is that which is merely freed from foreign particles, yellowish brown in colour, and opaque and thick with stearine, like honey not over clear.' I am indebted to Mr. Walker, formerly of Bloomsbury Square, for suggesting the use of neat's-foot oil, in a case where the cod-liver oil could not be made to agree with the patient. It is, however, by no means an entirely new remedy. I learn from a lady, who is said to have had all the symptoms of consumption thirty years ago, that one Samuel Braunston, of Shuckborough, Warwick-shire, was noted for professing to cure all sorts of diseases with neat's-foot oil. He wished to administer his remedy to my informant, but she declined. To ensure a fair trial, I would suggest that care should be taken that the oil is genuine, but not what the druggists call \" exceedingly pure\"; that the dose to begin witlh be small-a teaspoonful twice a day-and increased by degrees to any quantity that may be desirable, and always taken when there is food in the stomach.

I got quite ashamed of my remissness in research, and that shame and my own curiosity were strong temptations to m e the til. But the power which remained, of occasionally retaining food under the influence of medicines, rendered immediate action unnecessary; and, moreover, confirmed me in my original diagnosis of simple ulceration, and in resistance to the temptation. Thus was avoided the painful feeling which would have been left upon the mind had an instrument been passed, and death soon followed the operation. Let me not be understood as objecting unreservedly to the use of the probang or esophageal tube; for where the dysphagia is spasmodic, and, possibly, in some cases where permanent stricture has followed a bruise or other cicatrix, and of course in every instance where starvation is imminent, the use of these means is a duty. But where morbid action, as indicated by pain, is still active, and life can yet be kept up by some portion of food being administered, I do not think we are justified in such forcible interference. And when we are called upon to rush in, let us tread in fear, remembering the neighbours by which our patient, the esophagus, is surrounded. A false passage in the urethra is a bungle and an inconvenience; but here it goes into the very fountains of life.","PeriodicalId":88928,"journal":{"name":"London journal of medicine","volume":"4 43","pages":"609-25"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1852-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1136/bmj.s2-4.43.609","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29257825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
