Four types of infection — erysipelas, septicemia, pyemia and gangrene — regularly took the lives of hospitalized patients.

Practically the only treatment for pyemia and septicemia on which any stress was laid, and in which there was any general confidence, was the administration of alcohol in large quantities.

For pyemia, where the abscesses are near the skin, they should be opened and treated antiseptically by injecting any of the previously mentioned germicides.

If it is due to stable miasma, uremic poisoning, pyemia, influenza, rheumatism, toxic agents, etc., they should receive prompt attention for their removal or mitigation.

Causes.—Lobular pneumonia from abscesses in pyemia, from septic pleurisy, etc.
