Summary

"The American Practitioner and News, Vol. XXV, No. 3, February 1, 1898" by Various is a 19th-century medical journal where doctors explored the latest ideas and discoveries in health care. The journal includes articles and reports from doctors about new treatments and their thoughts on old practices. One interesting discussion is by Dr. Rufus W. Griswold, who looks at why bloodletting, a very old treatment, wasn't used as much anymore, questioning if it was still needed. Also, Dr. Walter P. Ellis writes about Taka-Diastase, a new medicine that had been proven to help people with digestive problems. The journal serves as a snapshot of what doctors were thinking about and working on during this age.
