SHAW, GEORGE BROWN- 11. W. THOMAS, N. W. WALDRON, MILTON LOOMIS, C. L. SQUIRES The Meaning of some Medical Terms. Some readers of the REVIEW finding technical terms contained in the bulletins from the White House somewhat new to them, and also the details of medical pro cesses relating to symptoms with which they are but imperfectly acquainted. This is evidenced by occasional notes of inqui ry. "What is tympanitis?" "What is peritonitis?" "How do the doctors find out his temperature?" and so on. It will serve a popular purpose to explain some of these matters. The midnight bulletin between Sunday and Monday, July 3rd and 4th, said: "Some tympanitis is rec ognized." This caused great uneasiness to the doctors. The meaning of it was that the abdo men of the patient was swelling up like a drum, the swelling being due to an ac cumulation of air or gasses in the intesti nal tube or else in the peritoneum; and this is considered a very unfavorable sign in injuries like those of the President. The tympanitis hapily did not hist long enough, and was not sufficiently great to cause extreme danger. The word comes from tvmpan, a drum—and the swelling from mllaination is variously called "tym pany," "wind-dropsy" and "drum-belly." "Peritonitis," which the doctors fear ed also, is an is an inflamation of the per itoneum, a membrane that envelopes the inb'stines and other abdominal organs, and generally the interior of the abdomen. This membrane takes its name from two Greek words which express its meaning —around, and to stretch; peritoneum, therefore, meaning in this instance 'a membrane that stretches around or about the intestines. Inflamation of that mem brane, or "peritonitis," always marks a ; dangerous phase of disease or injury from wounds. The temperature of a sick or wounded person indicates the presence or absence of the inflamatory condition, and in cas es like this, is watched with great solici tude. The temperature is ascertained by placing the bulb of a small thermometer, specially adapted to the purpose, in the i mouth of the patient, or sometimes un der the armpit, the average natural heat ; of the human body in a good condition of health is OSJ, degrees of Farenhoit's scale, it is usually marked on our thermome ter as "blood heat" at the 98th degree. In very inflamed conditions, the temper ature of patients has been observed to rise as high as 198 degrees in children and to 107 in adults. Anything above 101 or 10.") is regarded as very serious by physicians. The President's temperature has risen several times to 108, or ten de grees above the normal or natural. In Asiatic cholera the temperature sinks as low as 77, when even the breath of the patient feels cold The fluctuations of the pulse are noted carefully in the daily bulletins. In good health, and when the body is quiet, the natural beats of the pulse of an adult male are about sixty to seventy a minute, i There are considerable differences, how ' ever, even in healthy persons, according to the comparative quiet or activity of the body, and whether standing, sitting ' or lying down. There are differences, too, at different periods of the day, the greatest frequency of the pulse beats oc curring about the middle of the day, and ' the least about midnight. All other things : being equal the pulse is quicker in the morning than in the evening. In condi tions of profound coma, morbid sleep or I lethargy the pulse beats have dropped as • iow as 17 in a minute, and they have ! mounted up as high as 200 in children af flicted with water on the brain. Since his injury the President's pulse has fluc tuated between ninety-four beats a min- : ute to one hundred and twenty-six. This last is about twice as frequent us the pulse i beats in a state of health and in a quiet, recumbent position. Frequency of "respiratation" is like wise a feature of tjm bulletins. Since he ' was wounded his respiration has ranged nineteen to twenty-four breathings a j minute. In health and when free f'roiq any exciting cause, the number of breath ings per minute is from fourteen to eigh teen; but in conditions of disease it ' sometimes falls as low as seven breaths a minute, and rises as high as a hundred. : I IMPORTANT TO TRAVELERS. — Special in- ; ducements are offered you by the BURLING TON ROUTE.
