With regard to amœbic dysentery he advocates: (1) Rest, to increase the patient’s resistance; (2) a generous milk diet, which is practically all absorbed before it reaches the large bowel; (3) saline or plain water irrigations, one to three daily; (4) the administration of bismuth sub-nitrate in heroic doses; 180 gr. is given mechanically suspended in about a tumbler of plain or effervescent water every three hours, day and night in severe cases, only lessening the amount when improvement takes place. — from The Animal Parasites of Man by Fred. V. (Frederick Vincent) Theobald

it's fun to explore! What's the longest hidden word you can find? Where is your name hiding?
