![ANAEMIA. “In the group of 150 cases (of septic anaemia) under my care during the thirteen years 1900and1913,] have used no new method of treatment other than the antiseptic treatment against gastro- intestinal sepsis, which | recommended for the first time in 1890, and the measures of oral antisepsis which J] recommended in 1900.” Hunter, Brit. Med. Jour., March, 18, 1922, p. 4265. ‘‘In many people who have long suffered from this type of putrefaction there aredistinct evidences of anaemia. . . A moderate or considerable grade of secondary anaemia may be associated with the intestinal condition. . . In some instances the grade of anaemia is intense and the patients may present the blood picture and clinical characters of a progressive pernicious anaemia.’’? HERTER, Bacterial Infections of the Digestive Tract. “It is an absolute certainty that pernicious anaemia can be produced by such small amounts of toxins as can be absorbed into the system from pyorrhoea alveolaris.’? Bryce, Intestinal Toxaemia, p. 68. ‘‘] believe that pernicious anaemia is caused by poisons absorbed from the intestine, where they have been produced by the action of bacteria coming originally from the mouth.’? Hurst, The Lancet, June, 17, 1922, p. 1221. ‘‘Amongst the various causes of pernicious anaemia. Grawitz (Med. Rec., Oct. 29, 1910) attaches the greatest importance to intestinal intoxications.’’ Bryce, Intestinal Toxaemia, pp. 68 and 59. ARTERIO-SCLEROSIS. “‘The digestive tube is constantly elaborating poisons of microbic origin which are capable, in time, of setting up physiological arterio-sclerosis.’? METCHNIKOFF, Annales de l'Institut Pasteur, (cies 1910: ‘The vast majority of cases of arterio-sclerosis as they occur in adult life are due to the indirect influence of intestinal putrefaction upon the blood vessels and nervous tissue.’? BisHuop, N.Y. Med. Jour., Sept. 9, 1911. ARTHRITIS. “Very few medical men now doubt that most forms of arthritis, - including rheumatoid arthritis, are due to the absorption of some toxins, and many of these can be directly attributed to intestinal toxaemia.”’ Bryce, Intestinal Toxaemia, p. 49. “The determining factor in the evolution of many cases of rheumatoid arthritis is infection of the upper alimentary tract with pyogenic staphylococci.”’?
