The general treatment of enteric fever

To tabulate briefly then his conclusions the writer is of opinion that: (1) There is no specific treatment for Enteric Fever. (2) No drug will shorten its natural course. (3) A strictly antiseptic treatment gives slighty better results than a purely expectant symptomatic treatment. (4) Antipyretic treatment is undesirable and often dangerous. (5) Eliminative treatment is the most satisfactory and this can be secured by the use of calomel and irrigation of the large intestine.
