What is bone density?
Your bones are made of living tissue. To keep them strong, your body breaks down old bone and replaces it with new bone. But when more bone is broken down than replaced, you lose bone density, also called bone mass. Bone density is a measure of the amount of calcium and other minerals in bone. Bones containing more minerals are denser. They tend to be stronger and less likely to fracture (break).
Losing bone density can weaken your bones. In some cases, it can lead to osteoporosis. This is a disease which can make your bones more likely to break. Low bone density that is not low enough to be osteoporosis is sometimes called osteopenia.
What can make you lose bone density?Your bones become less dense as you age. Other factors can also make you more likely to lose bone mass, such as:
- A family history of osteoporosis or low bone mass
- Not developing good bone mass when you are young
- Having certain medical conditions, such as:
- Endocrine diseases
- Certain digestive diseases
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Certain types of cancer
- HIV
- Anorexia nervosa, a type of eating disorder
- Taking certain medicines, such as:
- Corticosteroids
- Proton pump inhibitors (which treat GERD)
- Medicines to treat epilepsy
- Smoking tobacco
- Long-term heavy alcohol use
- Physical inactivity or prolonged periods of bedrest
Not everyone who has low bone mass gets osteoporosis, but they are at higher risk for developing it.
Is there a test to measure your bone health?A bone density scan is the best way to measure your bone health. It compares your bone density, or mass, to that of a healthy person who is the same age and sex as you are. It can show:
- Whether you have low bone density
- Whether you have osteoporosis, a disease that makes your bones weak
- Your risk for breaking bones
- Whether your osteoporosis treatment is working
To help keep your bones strong and help prevent osteoporosis, the best thing to do is to eat a healthy diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. Getting regular physical activity, limiting alcohol, and not smoking can also help. In some cases, your health care provider may prescribe medicines to prevent osteoporosis.

ACID NITRO-HYDROCHLORIC
Hepatic stimulant and gastric and intestinal antiseptic; pre scribed in cirrhosis of the liver, in chronic hepatitis, in dyspepsia with deficient secretion, especially with torpid liver, and for its specific action in oxaluria. Only the freshly prepared strong acid should be used, of which the dose is 0.06 to 0.2 c. c. (1 to 3 minims) to be largely diluted when taken. The oflicial diluted acid should not be prescribed .2

DIGITALIN (German)
Glucoside obtained from Foxerglove, q. v. Readily soluble in water and therefore well suited for hypodermatic use. [The French Digitalin is considerably stronger, but is less soluble and is not so uniform a product]. Dose, 0.0006 to 0.03 Grm. (1-100 to 1/2 gr.).2

GLYCERlN
A dense fluid remarkable for its strong aflinity for moisture. It is hence of great use as a local depletant, especially to mucous membranes. It is thus applied to the cervix uteri to relieve conges tion and on a similar principle is used in the form of suppositories to cause the bowels to move. In diabetes mellitus, it is sometimes used in place of sugar as a sweetening agent in articles of food.2

POTASSIUM BICARBONATE
Antacid, antilithic, diuretic, antiarthritic, stimulant. Much to be preferred to the carbonate which is a deliquescent salt. strongly alkaline in taste and liable to disturb the stomach. The acetate or citrate are to be preferred unless a direct antacid effect on the stomach is desired. Dose, 0.3 to 4.0 Grm. .5 to 60 grs.), in dilute solution.2

SMALLPOX
Treat symptoms as they arise. To relieve itching of eruption and prevent pitting, apply freely an ointment containing a little carbolic acid (5 grs. to the oz.) and salicylic acid (15 grs. to the oz.). Maintain patient’s strength by nourishing food; supply plenty of fresh air, but exclude strong light.2

ULCERS
The treatment must depend on the conditions. In general the applications that are of most benefit are at once stimulating and antiseptic. That most generally useful is Iodosyl. As a cleansing agent, hydrogen peroxide is generally best, although more powerful applications (caustics) have their use, particularly strong carbolic acid followed by alcohol to limit its destructive action.2
