George G. Van Schaick, M.D., after investigation carried
on in the French Hospital and St Vincent De Paul
Orphan Asylum, New York City, closes his report with
these remarks:
"The writer has altogether made, or caused to be
made for him, blood counts and estimations of
haemoglobin in fifty surgical cases in which Gude's Pepto-
Mangan was used. In his experience of the last few
years he can recall only one patient, a nervous and
capricious yong woman, with whom it failed to agree.
A statistical examination of the results obtained showed
================================================
Clear & warmer. William Thomas (of
John) was here for examination, bandaging
of his right ankle, which had been
sprained. Willie came & took me over
to "Riverside" to see Bro William and
back before lunch. W. took lunch with
us before returning to "Fairfield".
I went to Fairall's office where there
was a "trial" of some cases of "disturbing
a religious meeting" by some
young colored men. Edwd went on his
bicycle to Kensington etc. Hallie Bentley
called in afternoon. They sent for Sister H
to "Woodburn" to a Horticultural meeting.
Edwd came home to supper.

Dr. Geo. Van Schaick. - Continued.
that on an average the first three weeks of treatment
gave an increase of about 40,000 red blood globules a
day, this proportion diminishing later on as the blood
becomes restored to its natural composition. The cases
cited by von Ramdohr and Emory Lanphear, as well as
those I have observed, show that we have in such a
preparation as Pepto-Mangan (Gude) a means of obtaining
good results with a certainty that is almost mathematical,
and without any of the distressing symptoms so
frequently following the use of the inorganic
preparations."
==============================================
Another beautiful day, the weather
for some time past reminds me of the
San Francisco California weather.
I walked to Ashton & back before lunch.
Edwd was out all day (on bicycle) for
the Telephone Co. This afternoon he went
to "Olney" and vicinity. I went to P.O.
and to the stores several times & again
after supper. Dora & Hannah went
to the store after supper.
