Non Prescription Cialis EDELMAN: ECZEMA DUE TO HYPERTHYROIDISM. 451 tense, dry eruption involved the entire neck and there was general glandular enlargement. Because of the tenseness of the skin the child was unable to turn his head. The chest measured twenty-one inches in circumference and there was a scaly eruption on posterior surface; otherwise nega- tive. In the lungs a few coarse rales were heard pos- teriorly. The heart was negative ; pulse, normal. The ab- domen measured twenty-one inclics and seemed enlarged and distended. The liver and spleen were not palpable ; no tumors or masses were felt ; Non Prescription Cialis the abdomen was soft to touch and there were no tender areas or signs of fluid. There was slight umbilical hernia. There was no lordosis. There was an eczematous eruption from elbow to lingers ; the skin over the fingers was wrinkled and dry and the fingers tended to squareness ; the nails were brittle.

The Was- Non Prescription Cialis sermann and von Pirquet reactions were negative. Tem- perature was 98° F. On July 27, 1916, the patient was given 0.5 grain thyroid extract three times a day. No local treatment was pre- scribed and the diet was left alone. Bran baths Non Prescription Cialis were or- dered to be given every night. August 2d. Patient re- turned transformed into a diiTerent child. The eczema of face and neck had almost Non Prescription Cialis disappeared and he was able to move his head Non Prescription Cialis freely ; the eczema on the legs was improved slightly. The mother volunteered the statement Non Prescription Cialis that for the first time in three years the patient had slept through the nights. The itching remained about the same. Pro- tective measures were used to Non Prescription Cialis prevent scratching and the same dose of thyroid continued. Weight was thirty-one and one half pounds. August gth. Improvement contin- ued ; itching still persisted. The child weighed thirty pounds. Sodium bicarbonate baths were ordered instead of bran. Owing to rapid loss in weight — two pounds in fourteen days — we discontinued the thyroid Non Prescription Cialis extract and instead discontinued all sugars and fats from the diet and used I.assar's unguent as a local application. August 17th. The patient returned much worse; eczema had again ap- peared on face, scalp, and neck. The diet was then changed, allowing fats and sugars as previously, and again thyroid in 0.5 grain doses was given three times a day. Tempera- ture was Non Prescription Cialis 99° F. August 30th. Weight, thirty-one pounds ; again a marked improvement was noted. Thyroid extract was increased to one grain three times a day. September 25th. The patient continued to improve and gained in weight to thirty-two pounds. Since then the condition im- proved steadily, but not quite to the same extent as during the first week. At the present time, the weig'it was thirty- five pounds and he was receiving one grain of thyroid ex- tract three times a day. He still retained the cretinoid facies, and the skin eruption, while still present, was softer, paler, and considerably improved. Those wiio knew pa- tient previous to his treatment, could not believe he was the same child. He was eating better, bowels were regular, he was happier, wanted to play, and began to take more in- terest in his surroundings. Since then he has had a severe attack of measles, and when last seen, October, 1917, was enjoying good health. The skin was normal and he was in every respect a normal child. He has not been receiving any medication. This case presents so many interesting points, that I desire to devote the Non Prescription Cialis rest of this paper to the discussion of some of them. The interesting points in the history were the premattire grayness of the patient's mother and her sister and their rather pasty complexion which are suggestive of deficient thyroid secretion. It then becomes probable that the mother is responsible for this child's condition. The persistency and extent of the eczematous con- dition of the skin, in spite of careful dietetic and local treatment, suggests a rather complex etiology. The eczema bears no relation to the food. The following facts in the physical Non Prescription Cialis examination are sig- nificant : general cretinoid facies ; almost total loss of eyebrows ; puffiness of upper and lower lids ; pasty complexion ; dry and coarse skin Non Prescription Cialis ; slight lordo- sis ; apparent large abdomen, or pot belly ; umbil- lical hernia; anhidrosis or absence of sweating; extensive eczema ; a practically normal mentality. The miraculous improvement in Non Prescription Cialis the eczematous condition with the administration of thyroid and the remission when it was Non Prescription Cialis not given for a week, in spite of local and dietetic treatment, must be looked upon as additional evidence of the correct- ness of the diagnosis. We must conclude, then, that Non Prescription Cialis
