Special Indian Science Congress Number 1919. The Indian Journal of Medical Research

1919

In the first place I estimated the amount of chlorides in the blood before and after saline injections in a series of cases and found that in the most severe cases they might even be below the normal point in spite of the great concentration of the blood thus establishing a vicious circle and leading to further rapid loss of any isotonic solution injected into the veins. [...] I further established that the hypertonic saline did materially raise the salt content of the blood and to the greatest extent in recovering cases which explained both the failure of the former isotonic and the success of the hypertonic solutions. [...] The failures appeared to me to be largely due to a recurrence of the collapse on account of absorption of the toxins prduced by the cholera bacillus in the intestinal canal with the restoration of the circulation after the saline injections. [...] I therefore think it may fairly be claimed that cholera has now been robbed of most of its terrors by simple scientific investigation with the aid of physical methods in the use of the homocrite and specific gravity test ; chemical research in the use of permanganates to destroy the toxins in the bowel and alkalies to combat the deadly acidosis and physiological principles leading to the use of a [...] The object of the late war was the liberation of the world and the triumph of international good faith ; the object of the next war is the amelioration of the world and the triumph of organised intelligence.
