30 A STRONG STATEMENT FROM A STRONG SOURCE "In mild forms of syphilis with little or no glandular involvement, and in mixed sores, I immediately resort to mercauro, and I have never seen its equal as a remedial agent in syphilis. It is pre-eminently a new therapeutic agent, the physiological effect being subjudice. In latent lesions it is positively the best remedy. By abundant experience I am settled in my conviction as to its value, and more particularly so, when the iodides are not tolerated." NEW YORK POLYCLINIC.-April 1897. By Herman F. Nordeman, M.

MANUFACTURED EXCLUSIVELY BY CANTON SURGICAL AND DENTAL CHAIR CO., 38 to 54 East Eighth and 50 to 52 South Walnut Streets, CANTON, OHIO, S INCE the introduction into medical practice by Garrod, of the Lithium Salts for the treatment of rheumatism, their value has been so thoroughly demonstrated, it is superfluous for the manufacturing chemist to add anything as to their efficacy in the treatment of the subacute and chronic cases of rheumatism, rheumatic gout, uric acid diathesis, in renal calculi composed of uric acid, and in irritable bladder from an excess of acid in the urine. It has, however, been almost universally conceded, that the most effective and agreeable form of administering these salts, is in carbonic acid water; this is often troublesome and inconvenient as well as expensive. Our Effervescing Lithia Tablets obviate all these objections. A Tablet dropped into a tumbler of moderately cold water, will in a few moments entirely dissolve with decided effervescence, producing a delicious sparkling draught. Physicians will appreciate the convenience, utility and many advantages these tablets possess over any other form of prescribing Lithium Salts. The most popular natural Lithia Water so extensively used contains but about two-and a half grains of the Lithium Salt to the gallon. The dose of the Artificial Lithia Water, as prepared from our Compressed Tablets, can be regulated very readily, by dissolving one or more in any desired quantity of water, from a tumblerful to a pint, quart or gallon, and taken as may be indicated. 5-gr.

COOK & SON Agencies Contains the Essential Elements of the Animal Organization-Potash and Lime; The Oxidising Agents-Iron and Manganese; The Tonics-Quinine and Strychnine; And the Vitalizing Constituent-Phosphorus: the whole combined in a form of a Syrup with a Slightly Alkaline Reaction. It Differs in its Effects from all Analogous Preparations; and it possesses the important properties of being pleasant to the taste, easily borne by the stomach, and harmless under prolonged use. It has Gained a Wide Reputation, particularly in the treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis, Chronic Bronchitis, and other affections of the respiratory organs. It has also been employed with much success in various nervous and debilitating diseases. Its Curative Power is largely attributable to its stimulant, tonic, and nutritive properties, by means of which the energy of the system is recruited. Its Action is Prompt; it stimulates the appetite and the digestion, it promotes assimilation, and it enters directly into the circulation with the food products. The prescribed dose produces a feeling of buoyancy, and removes depression and melancholy; hence the preparation is of great value in the treatment of mental and nervous affections. From the fact, also, that it exerts a double tonic influence, and induces a healthy flow of the secretions, its use is indicated in a wide range of diseases. NOTICE-CAUTION. The success of Fellows' Syrup of Hypophosphites has tempted certain persons to offer imitations of it for sale. Mr. Fellows, who has examined samples of several of these, finds that no two of them are identical, and that all of them differ from the original in composition, in freedom from acid reaction, in susceptibility to the effects of oxygen when exposed to light or heat, in the property of retaining the strychnine in solution, and in the medicinal effects. As these cheap and inefficient substitutes are frequently dispensed instead of the genuine preparation, physicians are earnestly requested, when prescribing the Syrup, to write "Syr. Hypophos. Fellows." As a further precaution, it is advisable that the Syrup should be ordered in the original bottles; the distinguishing marks which the bottles (and the wrappers surrounding them) bear, can then be examined, and the genuineness or otherwise-of the contents thereby proved.
