WE have on previous occasions commented upon the various misuses to which prescriptions may be put. We now learn that the pharma- cists of Philadelphia have drawn up a draft set of rules, which they have submitted to the American Pharmaceutical Association, as being likely to meet with the approval of the medical profession. Among these rules are the following:- First.—The prescription is an utterance of the prescriber, who alone should direct and control its employment. It should, when- ever practicable, carry the name of the patient, and if a minor, the age in years and the date when written. Second.-The pharmacist who prepares the medicine should retain the prescription for reference, as a record of his services and for a certain limited period, not less than five years, for the pro- tection of the prescriber, himself, and the patient. The physician, when delivering the written prescription, should impress upon the patient that it is an order for medicines, subject to conditions and limitations. Third.—The medicine prescribed should not be supplied more than once on the same prescription: (1) if ordered by the prescriber "not to be repeated" (N. rep.); (2) if containing medicinal sub- stances commonly called narcotics, or "habit-forming" drugs; (3) if called for by some person known not to be the original holder thereof; (4) a declaration to this effect should appear on the pre- scription blank over the doctor’s signature. Fourth.—No copy of a prescription shall be furnished to the patient: (1) if the physician has declared such prescription non- renewable ; (2) if it contains a narcotic or a habit-forming drug. For the purpose of carrying out these rules the pharmacists of Philadelphia have drawn up a special prescription blank bearing, in addition to the usual printed matter, the words : "Note.-The condi- tions under which this prescription is written will be found on the reverse side hereof." The reverse side of the blank contains the inscription: " This prescription is written for the party whose name appears thereon, for the present indications only ; hence it is not to be renewed without my written consent and no copy of same is to be given. The pharmacist compounding it will kindly preserve same on his prescription file." It seems to us that subsection (3) of the third rule will be impossible to carry out in its entirety-namely, that no medicine shall be supplied more than once on the same prescription, "if called for by some person known not to be the original holder thereof." Surely, the American pharmacists do not expect a patient suffering from typhoid fever or pneumonia to get out of bed and call for his medicine ! We suppose that the provision is inserted to checkmate the persons, and they are of common occurrence, to whom some would-be kind friend says, " Oh, try my medicine, it’s done me so much good. I’ll give you Dr. Sangrado’s prescription." Such persons should undoubtedly be put down, but for all that the provision quoted needs alteration. On the whole, however, the rules seem most sensible. We would add that it is obviously open to any medical man to endorse any prescription "Not to be repeated," or "Repeat once or twice only," as the case may be. THERAPEUTICS EXTRAORDINARY. THE historico-romantic school of fiction affords many instances of warriors who have received a dozen gaping wounds in battle against stupendous odds being won back to life by the virtue of an elixir prepared by a fair lady cunning in the healing of heroes, or perhaps by some mysterious hermit in whose forest cell the wounded one awakes to consciousness. The annals of sport hold more credible, if less creditable, stories of horses endowed by the administration of a stimulant with an artificial endurance which wins their owners an ill-earned race. But we are inclined to think that neither the pages of history nor of fiction can produce a more striking account of un- orthodox dosing than appeared in the police-court reports of the Daily Express on April 19th. We read there that Mr. Bodkin, whilst conducting a prosecution of two men named Clark and Norgate for obtaining money under false pretences, told the following story about a convict named Harcourt, upon whose evidence the proceedings were based. "Harcourt wished to obtain a further substantial sum....... Accordingly, he underwent examina- tion by a doctor representing a life insurance company, who refused to pass him. When this became known Clark reminded Norgate of a doctor who had prepared a wonderful prescription for him. Clark and Harcourt went to the doctor and obtained the prescription, which was made up by a West-end chemist." Mr. Bodkin proceeded to remark, according to the report before us : " That prescription is now to be seen in the chemist’s books, but I do not propose to make it public. It is certainly a wonderful thing, because after he had been stiffened and strengthened by this extraordinary tonic Harcourt easily satisfied the medical man who examined him on behalf of another insurance office. Harcourt was insured, and further sums were obtained from Mr. Higgins on the security of the policy.’ The magistrate has more faith than we have in the virtue of the

THE MISUSE OF PRESCRIPTIONS.
WE have on previous occasions commented upon the various misusesto which prescriptions may be put. We now learn that the pharma-cists of Philadelphia have drawn up a draft set of rules, which theyhave submitted to the American Pharmaceutical Association, as
being likely to meet with the approval of the medical profession.Among these rules are the following:-
First.—The prescription is an utterance of the prescriber, whoalone should direct and control its employment. It should, when-ever practicable, carry the name of the patient, and if a minor, theage in years and the date when written.Second.-The pharmacist who prepares the medicine should
retain the prescription for reference, as a record of his services andfor a certain limited period, not less than five years, for the pro-tection of the prescriber, himself, and the patient. The physician,when delivering the written prescription, should impress upon thepatient that it is an order for medicines, subject to conditions andlimitations.
Third.—The medicine prescribed should not be supplied more thanonce on the same prescription: (1) if ordered by the prescriber"not to be repeated" (N. rep.); (2) if containing medicinal sub-stances commonly called narcotics, or "habit-forming" drugs;(3) if called for by some person known not to be the original holderthereof; (4) a declaration to this effect should appear on the pre-scription blank over the doctor’s signature.
Fourth.—No copy of a prescription shall be furnished to thepatient: (1) if the physician has declared such prescription non-renewable ; (2) if it contains a narcotic or a habit-forming drug.
For the purpose of carrying out these rules the pharmacists of
Philadelphia have drawn up a special prescription blank bearing, inaddition to the usual printed matter, the words : "Note.-The condi-tions under which this prescription is written will be found on thereverse side hereof." The reverse side of the blank contains the
inscription: " This prescription is written for the party whose nameappears thereon, for the present indications only ; hence it is not tobe renewed without my written consent and no copy of same is to be
given. The pharmacist compounding it will kindly preserve same onhis prescription file." It seems to us that subsection (3) of the thirdrule will be impossible to carry out in its entirety-namely, that nomedicine shall be supplied more than once on the same prescription,"if called for by some person known not to be the original holderthereof." Surely, the American pharmacists do not expect a patientsuffering from typhoid fever or pneumonia to get out of bed and callfor his medicine ! We suppose that the provision is inserted tocheckmate the persons, and they are of common occurrence, to whomsome would-be kind friend says,
" Oh, try my medicine, it’s done me somuch good. I’ll give you Dr. Sangrado’s prescription." Such personsshould undoubtedly be put down, but for all that the provision quotedneeds alteration. On the whole, however, the rules seem mostsensible. We would add that it is obviously open to any medical manto endorse any prescription "Not to be repeated," or "Repeat once ortwice only," as the case may be.
THERAPEUTICS EXTRAORDINARY.
THE historico-romantic school of fiction affords many instances ofwarriors who have received a dozen gaping wounds in battle againststupendous odds being won back to life by the virtue of an elixirprepared by a fair lady cunning in the healing of heroes, or perhapsby some mysterious hermit in whose forest cell the wounded oneawakes to consciousness. The annals of sport hold more credible,if less creditable, stories of horses endowed by the administration ofa stimulant with an artificial endurance which wins their owners an
ill-earned race. But we are inclined to think that neither the pages of
history nor of fiction can produce a more striking account of un-orthodox dosing than appeared in the police-court reports of the
Daily Express on April 19th. We read there that Mr. Bodkin,whilst conducting a prosecution of two men named Clarkand Norgate for obtaining money under false pretences, toldthe following story about a convict named Harcourt, upon whoseevidence the proceedings were based. "Harcourt wished to obtaina further substantial sum....... Accordingly, he underwent examina-tion by a doctor representing a life insurance company, who refusedto pass him. When this became known Clark reminded Norgate ofa doctor who had prepared a wonderful prescription for him. Clarkand Harcourt went to the doctor and obtained the prescription, whichwas made up by a West-end chemist." Mr. Bodkin proceeded toremark, according to the report before us : " That prescription is nowto be seen in the chemist’s books, but I do not propose to make itpublic. It is certainly a wonderful thing, because after he had beenstiffened and strengthened by this extraordinary tonic Harcourteasily satisfied the medical man who examined him on behalf ofanother insurance office. Harcourt was insured, and further sumswere obtained from Mr. Higgins on the security of the policy.’The magistrate has more faith than we have in the virtue of the
1294
tonic, but we trust that the West-end chemist who is the repositoryof this therapeutic treasure will second Mr. Bodkin’s laudablereticence and not divulge the secret of a remedy which will addanother terror to the perplexities of the medical referees of insurancecompanies, however great the temptation to launch a new patentmedicine on the public. Yet it would be interesting to hear whetherthe latest elixir of health masked a murmur in Harcourt’s aortic valvesor merely abstracted some albumin from his urine.
A CURIOUS ACCIDENT.
A COBEESPONDTTNT (a medical man) sends us an account of a curiousaccident which occurred recently on golf links in the south of
England. A player whilst in the act of striking a ball managed toswallow "a quarter of a lighted cigarette with no ill-effects. The
eating of lighted candles, made, we believe, of apples wit,h "wicks"cut out of almonds and soaked in oil, was a favourite performance ofold-fashioned conjurers, and the consumption of chocolate cigarettesis doubtless still practised by the young. But the swallowing oflighted tobacco is not so safe a performance, and we congratulate thegolfer on having taken no harm. Considering the concentration, bothmuscular and mental, with which some golfers make their drives, andthe frequency with which they balance lighted cigarette ends betweentheir lips while striking, we can conceive that this is not the first timethat the accident has occurred.
AXILLARY AND RECTAL TEMPERATURES IN NEUROTICSUBJECTS.
FROM a series of observations made by M. Erlandsen, a pupil of ProfessorGram of Copenhagen, it would appear that there is no greater differ-ence between the axillary and rectal temperatures in hysterical andother neurotic subjects than that which ordinarily obtains in healthypersons. This increase of difference was suggested by Dr. IIallager,a Danish physician, some years ago as an aid to diagnosis, andProfessor Gram felt anxious that the value of the so-called Hallager’ssign should be tested. M. Erlandsen therefore examined 89 patientssuffering from hysteria, neurasthenia, traumatic neurosis, paralysisagitans, sciatica, chorea, and exophthalmic goitre, with great careand extremely sensitive thermometers. One of the first things thatstruck him was that a higher reading was obtained when the thermo-meter was inserted in the rectum to a depth of three centimetres,when the bulb was grasped by the external sphincter, than when itwas inserted to a depth of seven or eight centimetres. The lowestdifference between rectal and axillary temperatures was 0-12’ F.and the highest 0’320 F., the mean being 0’14° F. There was
only a small difference in persons having a rigid perineum-e.g.,children, virgins, and adult men, the maximum occurring in
multipara. In the 89 pathological cases M. Erlandsen found, whenhe took the observations himself, that there was a mean differencebetween the axillary and rectal temperatures of 0’68°F., which
figure agrees fairly well with those given by different authorities,which vary from 0’77° to 0’93° F. Another rather importantpoint is mentioned, and that is, that in fat subjects thereis more difference than in thin persons between the axillaryand rectal temperature, the reason being, according to M.
Erlandsen, that the axillary space in fat persons is more isolatedfrom the central parts of the body by the layer of adipose tissue beingthicker. Be the explanation what it may, he found by dividing hissubjects into three classes-fat, medium, and thin—that the meandifferences between the axillary and rectal temperatures were 0’918°,0’65°, and 0’59° in the three cases respectively. M. Erlandsen’s
original paper appeared in Hospitalstidende for Nov. 25th, 1908.
R.A.M.C. points out that in the various advertisements of German"Cure Establishments" and Medical Institutes the tariff for bathsand residence is never mentioned. He has found that in one well-knownGerman spa at least the rates are very high, and inquires whetherthere are any such institutions offering a tariff comparable to
the lower prices of English " hydros." It must be remembered thatthe treatment at such foreign institutions is of a special kind, andthat the majority of people who proceed abroad for "cures belongto the well-to-do classes. Both of these circumstances naturally tendto keep the level of continental "cure-house" charges at a highaverage, but we should be glad to hear of any properly vouched forestablishments offering specially moderate terms which may be ofinterest to our correspondent and to other medical men.
