Antanas Vileišis (1856—1919) was a prominent Lithuanian social figure of the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, a tenacious reviver and strengthener of Lithuanianness, who devoted all the time remaining from his direct work “not to his pleasures, not to entertainment, but to his nation: its culture, health, defence of the language, science, charity and freedom” (Kučys 1993: 233). He was a prominent member of the Society for the Advancement of Medicine and Hygiene. A. Vileišis chose “the best way to help people protect themselves from diseases and, if they encounter them, to ease their situation with advice” —it is “to spread in easy and understandable language booklets and articles in newspapers” (ibid., 232). A. Vileišis left a number of articles and popularization booklets on infectious and other diseases, their treatment and prevention, hygiene and sanitation. Some of the books he wrote himself, some he translated or prepared based on the works of other authors. This article discusses more than 400 names of remedies "collected from medical books" according to their meaning, as well as touching on expression, origin and other more important issues of language. The booklets were published from 1895 to 1915. The smallest booklet consists of 7 pages and the largest of 164 pages. The book has 745 pages. Several books are with pictures. Many of the articles printed in the newspapers of the time were continuing and were published in separate books. * Names from the largest booklet Naminis gydytojas (I edition — 1908, II edition — 1924) are not included in the material under consideration, as they are discussed together with other medical terms in the article Naminio gydytojo medicinos terminai (see Terminologijos istorijos ir dabarties problemos, Vilnius, 2004, 330-362). In some booklets the names of the remedies were found only one by one, in others they were not found at all, so here are given examples only from sixteen booklets. * During the collection of material, several names of treatments were found, so they are discussed in the article together with the names of treatments. 67
I. Significant groups of the names of medical devices The most abundant significant group consists of the names of medicines. By the nature of the use of drugs, they can be divided into two subgroups: 1. Names of internal medicines, e.g.: tea Pp 52, tea from chamomile Kru 6, chilled champagne Ch 10, oatmeal liquid Pp 114, Bulgarian sour milk Rp 8, Hofmann drops Ch 11, black coffee Pm II 12, hot tea D 7, coffee Pp 52, cocaine Ch 10, the coldest water Ll 116, lactobacillus Rp 8, tiny ice cubes Lt 116, apple wine Ku 41, lactic acid Ch 9, peppermint tea L1 116-117, castor oil Pm 128, Ts 19, Ts II 25, LI 62, sour milk Rp 3 (see sour milk Rp 3, also see sour milk Rp 5), seeds Pm II 27, soda water Ll 68, cold tea Pp 72, cold water with lemon Pm 1 14, Pm II 13, cold water with wine Pm I 22, Pm II 20, cold wine Pp 72, cold zeller water Ch 10, mint tea L1 116—117, cold soups for banquets Ku 41, champagne Ch 11, warm tea with lemon Ach 10 (see warm tea with lemon Ts 11), warm tea with a little wine Ach 10 (see warm tea with a little wine Ts 11), tannin Ch 10, solution of tannin Ch 10, fruit Ku 41, water with lemon Pm II 12, summer water Ts 19, wine Pm I 21, Ku 32, Pp 79, Pm II 19, D 7, grapes Ku 42, herbs against cough Ts 13, etc. 2. Names of topical medicines, e.g. eye ointment Kru 8, tanning oil Pp 53, oil Pp 55, ammonia Ku 38, aristol Pp 54, Bertolet- 's salt D 4, bismuth Pp 54, boric acid mixture L) 85, boric acid solution 11149 (see solution of boric acid D 4), boric water L193, boric vaseline Kru 11, vodka with salt Tš 12, dill Kru 11, clear water Pp 27, pure oil Pm I 32, Pm II 20, pure oil Pm 128, Pm II 26, pure warm water Pm 122, Pm II 21, pure water Pm 120, Pp 25, Dz 19, Pm II 18, LI 157, ichthyol Pp 38, lime water Pp 53, camphor Ach 11, camphor oil Pm 127, Pm II 25, camphor spirit Ll 85, hot potato flour paste Pm I 28, Pm II 26, egg yolk Pm T 31, Pm II 28, starch LA 94 (see starch RE 15)/skrobyl (starch) Pm 1 31), levativa Tš 13, knotweed oil Ll 104, simple oil Kru 11, L198, simple cold oil L1 158, simple salt solution Pp 29, antidiphtheria liquid L1 131, sour cream Pp 75 (see sour cream (hybrid) 1 ‘acetaminophen’) 68

This group would also include several drug form names, e.g.: /ašai Pp 110, Kru 3, pulveris Pp 110, tepalas Kru 3, pelės Pp 110. The word vaistai is used in several meanings in the booklets Kd I 32, Tš 23, Pp 26, Ab 26, Kd II 42, LI 27. In their thermal meaning — “specially produced and suitable for use medicinal substances that help prevent and treat diseases” (ME II 1993) — medicines are used relatively rarely, because there is not much written about, in the words of A. Vileišis himself, “drugs from pharmacies” Ng 63 or “real medicines” Pp 54. The second, practical, meaning is used much more often — "any means, way": Nu flea medicines — aeries Skaudvilė. He knows the cure from mice, from rats Squirrels. What you get to rest, it's not better medicine Pilviškiai. "The 100 Greatest Diseases of the 20th Century" (PDF) (1996). Thus, in the spoken books, medicines are called both certain treatment methods, and everyday household products, and food products and drinks, etc. The author has called such medicines home or human medicines Pp 54, e.g. : Therefore there is no doubt that the fruit is a good natural medicine Ku 43, — to the weak after the bath or during the bath strengthening drugs (wine, tea, etc.) are given Pp 113, For small attacks (bruises), the following drugs are best used: apply wet cold pads (compresses) and press with cold objects, because cold and pressure reduce blood flow Pp 21. It is interesting to note that in one booklet drugs are also called situational resources, e.g. : The best remedy against sweating and swelling of the feet is energetic scrubbing, washing with cold water and maximum cleanliness; these resources (medicines) must necessarily be retained, — Ku9l, Specifically mentioned fiber of compound names, one of which is the word medicine, usually used in the plural form, They can be divided into several groups, e.g. : a) medicines by form: diluted medicines Kru 4 (see liquid medicines Pp 109), medicines in solid form Pp 109, medicines in drops Pp 110, medicines in liquid form Pp 109, b) medicines by purpose: medicines for vomiting Tš 13, medicines for expelling milk Pm I 27, Pm II 25, medicines for vomiting Pm 11 12, medicines for killing bacteria L1 43, c) medicines by action: strengthening medicines Pp 113, blood-coaguling medicines Pp 37, d) medicines by affiliation: medicines of dark sorcerers Kru 15, e) medicines by odour properties: medicines with a sharp odor 69

The treatments are also related to the treatments. However, only a small fraction of the names of this species are collected. The names of first aid methods are distinguished, e.g.: cotton wrapping Pp 54, spreading with flour Pp 54, spreading soda (Bulirich salt) Pp 54, weak wound compression Pp 31, strong compression Pp 31, lubrication with oils Pp 54, lubrication with protein Pp 54, lubrication with butter Pp 54, lubrication with liquid glue Pp 54, lubrication with grease Pp 54, wound compression Pp 30, etc. The disinfection methods are named by several names, e.g.: heat L141, smoking Dz 4, dry heat L1 41, boiling in water LI 42, etc. Separate groups are formed by names with a recurring spot treatment, e.g.: treatment with milk D 7, treatment with warm baths D 7, treatment with grapes Ku 42, simple treatment with water Ku 45, systematic treatment with fruits Ku 42, etc., and vaccination, e.g.: vaccination against diphtheria L161, Jenner vaccination Ts 39, etc. 73
11. Expression and origin of the names of medical devices 1. Single-word treatment names found a little over 100. More than half of them are Lithuanian words, e.g.: lovatiesės Pp 46, šakelės Pp 44. Many of the names are of non-Lithuanian origin. They do not include the old (true) borrowed words, which "are fully adapted to our language system and are used without any restrictions —. In terminology, they are no longer borrowed, but terminologized words of human language” (Gaivenis 2002: 58). Thus, only international words, e.g. kompresai Pp 110, Kru 3, LI 104, and foreign words or barbarisms, e.g. uksusas Pp 73, are considered words of non-Lithuanian origin. Occasionally it happens that the same thing is named with two Lithuanian words, e.g., aprišimai or raiščiai Kru 10. In this case, the limitations do not have a pure action meaning (DLKG 1996: 94), but they name a specific thing. By the way, with the word aprismai, and not ligamenti, are formed and species names, for example, pressing ligament Kru 11. One case is mentioned, when two foreign words are used to name the same thing, e.g. patelnė (skaurada) Pp 44 [xpatelnia (|. patelnia, br. naranpHs) „keptuvė“ LKŽ IX 1973; xskaurada (1. skowroda, rus. ckoBopoj1a) 1. „keptuvė“ LKŽ XII 1981]. It can be concluded from this that both these words were widely used in the language of that time, because there was no Lithuanian novelist yet. According to the Academic Dictionary of Lithuanian Language, the word keptuvé in its first meaning —“flat metal dish for baking bread, meat, etc.” —is recorded only in 1934 in the common language newspaper Gimroji kalba (LKŽ V 1959). However, the opposite phenomenon can also be observed, when foreignness is pushed out of usage by its own, Lithuanian, word. For example, arielka Pm I 21, Pm II 11 is found only in one booklet, while its Lithuanian equivalent vodka Pm I 22, Pp 79, Pm II 20, Ku 32, D 7 is used much more frequently. By the way, K. Sirvydas has called ariel vodka. This is his novelty (Balčikonis 1978: 163). Some Lithuanian names have synonyms of non-Lithuanian origin, e.g., skėtis (parasolis) Pp 74 [cf. x parasonas (brus. mapacon) „skėtis“ LKZ IX 1973], or names of non-Lithuanian origin have Lithuanian equivalents presented as adjacents, e.g., detritas (vakcinos) L191 (detritas 2. „ruupų židinio nuogranda imunizacijai“ MTZ). There is one other varying name, for example, lime L1107 / lime Pp 73. Hybrid, or mixed, names for spoken texts are not typical, and only a few have been found, e.g. inoculation Rč 10 / inoculation Tš 15 (cf. inoculation L1 90). Latin equivalents are a common and important thing in medical literature. They are very 74
rare in A. Vileišis’s books, and this is self-evident, because most of the names are common language words or combinations of words, which have acquired their terminological meaning only in context, and in addition, the books tried to present medical science knowledge in a simplified way. Therefore, the Latin equivalent is given only next to the mononymous name "calomelus" (Latin: Calomelanos) of one significant group — medicines — Ch 9. The Latin name kollodium Pp 25 is written in the original form in the text, apparently there is no Lithuanian form for it. 2. Compound names of medical devices make up the largest proportion of all the names in question (there are just over 300). The number of names is estimated to be over 200. In terms of the expression of the species mark, almost equally distributed combinations of the harmonizable and non-harmonizable mark. Combinatory signs are usually expressed by adjectives: qualitative adjectives (the majority of them), e.g., tikri vaistai Pp 54, and adjectives with the suffix -inis, e.g., straudinės kestos Pp 87. Several of the matching certificates are represented by active or inactive species participants, e.g.: boiling alkali Ach 16, heated scarves Pp 71. Noun forms (of adjectives or participants) are not common, e.g.: wet compresses Pp 112, cold blanket Pp 112. Some names are used in both the simple and noun forms, for example, fake breathing Pp 31 and fake breathing Pp 67. Incompatible signs are usually represented by a singular or plural genitive, e.g.: viryklos šaukštas Pp 44, telegrafy dratvos Pp 45. Some names have personal nouns as incompatible pronouns —either completely lit.ized, e.g. Bardéleben’s discovery Pp 54, or left authentic with the Lithuanian ending added after the apostrophe, e.g. Pasteur’s cipping TS 29. There are also other incompatible pazyminiy expressed in phrases (mostly by jnagininku), e.g., lubrication with butter Pp 54. Incompatible subjunctives of several names are represented by vowels with prepositions (most common combinations with prepositions iz and su), e.g.: kescios is paklodės Pp 86, saišeliai su ledu 1.1 75. There are many synonyms used. Synonyms are usually Lithuanian words, e.g. sausos lovatiesės (paklodės) Pp 75
