died
in “the summer of 1908.” . . . “Treatment by injection of trypsin was
continued at intervals up to June, 1907. There was “not much pain up to the
last three months. The suffering was nothing like that usually experienced in
such cases.” Other very favourable points are noted in the report—such as that
an artificial anus never became necessary, and “ the character of the disease
changed from an active and rapidly progressive type to a slow and practically
stationary one, which not only prolonged life, but shut off the disease from
outside irritative influences, making life more bearable and wholesome by the
formation of membrane over the raw surfaces: in short, replacing an active
loathsome disease by one more durable.” In the light of our knowledge of
to-day, the treatment in this case was carried out with preparations much too
weak for their task, and probably far too little amylopsin was employed.
