Follow this by a dusting powder, such as bismuth sub-nitrate. The use of the objectionable cautery will usually be unnecessary, and your patient will have been very successfully treated, with little pain and no destruction of tissue. That is very important. After the use of the cautery, as it is often used, the membrane is forever useless and the patient might as well breathe through the mouth as far as warming and moistening the air is concerned.

Formulas.

Formula for Stillingia Liniment.

We find a discrepancy in the formula as given in Scudder's Therapeutics, and that in King's Dispensatory. Both of these mixtures, however, are rather unsatisfactory, since they throw down a deposit, which becomes almost hard on standing any length of time. We have been using a modification of the above which gives a better result, both as to its appearance and therapeutic effect. It is known as the "Improved Stillingia Liniment" (Dr. Bush's formula), the ingredients of which are as follows:

Bromoform in Whooping Cough.

The latest treatment of whooping cough is by bromoform. Dr. Herbert B. Carpenter thinks it is almost a specific. Its good effect is due to its acting as a local anaesthetic upon the mucous membrane of the pharynx and larynx. It seems to moderate the violence of the individual paroxysms, diminishing their severity and frequency, often stopping the vomiting in twenty-four hours, and in many cases it shortens the duration of the disease. Bromoform is given in one to five drop doses, three or four times daily. It may be given on sugar or in the following formula:

Sacch. lact., q.s., ad.

M. Sig.-Antiseptic powder.

.oz. j gr. x .oz. ij

A fifth of a grain of corrosive sublimate in this mixture gives a powder of the strength of 1 to 5,000, and a third of a grain, I to 3,000.

In preparing this powder care must be taken by the druggist to mix the sublimate very gradually and thoroughly with the sugar of milk, and then to add gradually the other ingredients, so as to be certain to obtain a uniform distribution of the bichloride in the mixture.-Ex.

Reviews.

COIN'S FINANCIAL SCHOOL. This is a book of 156 pages, forcibly illustrated, published by Coin Publishing Co., 115 Monroe street, Chicago. Price 50 cts.-popular edition, 25 cts.

To many of our readers this review will not be news, for such is the popularity of the book that perhaps a majority have already read it. It treats of the all important subject of an enlarged currency, so that we can pay taxes, debts, salaries and all other fixed charges on just basis to both sides; and also that the producer of wealth may get a fair price for his produce, and labor have constant employment.

It advocates that this can be done by the free coinage of silver, which question is treated in a very entertaining and convincing way. It rises to the level of scientific money in only one place which we quote:

J. R. Sovereign, Master Workman of the Knights of Labor, who had a seat on the platform, now asked a question: "You have given us the theory and science of money," said Mr. Sovereign, "as based on property. I want to know if it is practical to issue a form of credit money based on labor?"

"Yes," said Coin, "It is practical, and, to the extent to which it could be brought into use, would be on a parity with other forms of money based on property.

"Suppose the government owned and controlled all the railroads-it could issue paper money redeemable in services. That is, it would be good in the payment of freight and at all the ticket offices.

"If the passenger and freight business of the country amounted to $1,000,000,000 a year, which is the case at present, then that amount of paper currency thus redeemable could be safely kept in circulation. The supply would have to be limited-so that confidence would be maintained in the ability of the government to redeem it, in a reasonable time, if called upon so to do.

"This would be credit money redeemable in labor. It should also be made legal tender, and differ in no respect from credit money redeemable in propertysilver and gold-except as to the nature of redemption.

"Naturally it wonld circulate side by side with other form of credit money, inside of the United States and in the payment of freight and purchase of transportation, no discrimination would ordinarily be made in the form of money used.

"If confidence in the existence of the government should be shaken by wars or disintegration, as such a danger arose, this form of money would be assorted out from the other and redemption could take place, and no one would suffer by it.

"It would be as sound a currency as credit money based on property.

"It would be put in circulation by the government paying it out to its employes.

The postage stamp is based on the principal of redemption in services, but is not issued in suitable form for currency, and yet it is frequently used in small remittances in letters as such.

"A form of paper money could now be issued resembling our paper bills, redeemable in postage stamps." "How much?" asked Mr. Sovereign, whose face had worn a broad smile during the answer to his previous question.

"The total annual postal business," said Coin, "of the government for last year was about $75,000,000. This amount would circulate at par, with other money-how much more, I would not now undertake to say. it would be redeemable in postage stamps,

just as the other would be redeemable in railroad passenger tickets, or receipted freight bills.

"This would be money based on labor." Scientific money could at once be redeemable by being received in payment of taxes, customs and all sorts of revenue due the government. This would keep at least one billion dollars of government paper money constantly at par with gold, because it would perform all the money functions of gold. Let us try to rise to this high level on the money question, and convince others of the sin and folly of remaining longer on the narrow gold basis.

Taylor, published on page 233, June 1892, and republished on page 281, Aug. 1894, has met with most enthusiastic praises from readers of THE WORLD.

DR. CHARLES DAY, M. R. C. S, etc., 79 St. Mark's Square, West Hackney, London, writes, to Battle & Co., on January 17th, 1893: "I have prescribe your preparation, IODIA, with every satisfactory results. Its power of arresting discharges was very manifest in a case of leucorrhoea, and another of otorrhoea. In the latter case, the result of scarlet fever in early life, the discharge had existed for many years. The patient could distinctly feel the action of the IODIA on the part, and the discharge gradually dried up."

MALARIAL CONDITIONS.

For all malarial conditions quinine is the best remedy we have. But associated with this condition there is always more or less pain, which often renders the life of the individual uncomfortable, if not positively miserable. Antikamnia will remove these unplea ant symptoms and place the system in the best condition for the quinine to do its work. There are a number of ailments, not closely defined, which are due to the presence of the malarial poison. All such conditions are greatly benefited by the use of antikamnia and quinine. In headache (hemicrania), in the neuralgias occurring in anæmic patients who have malarial cachexia, and in a large number of affections more or less dependent upon this cachectic condition, the regular administration of this combin ation will produce the most happy results. In cases of malarial fever it should be given as a prophylactic and

cure.

"Antikamnia and Quinine" are put up in tablet form, each tablet containing two and one-half grains of antikamnia and two and one-half grains of quinine, and is the most satisfactory mode of exhibition.

Gentlemen:-I am well acquainted with the merits of your Syrup Hydriodic Acid. I have accomplished some truly remarkable cures with it. Can call to mind a case last spring,-La Grippe, with Bronchorrhoea very profuse expectoration. Consultant advised Iodine and Carbolic Acid, but it aggravated the case. I then put him on the Syr. Hydriodic Acid -(Hostelley's) and there was improvement from the first cose. I have tried it in but few cases of Rheumatism, but in Bronchorrhoea, Asthma or in Phthisis Pulmonalis, where there is profuse expectoration, it is a most admirable remedy, and I feel that I could not practice without it.

DOCTOFS AS EXECUTIONERS.

The following letter of inquiry was printed in last Sunday's Sun: "If a man is sentenced to death by the electric chair, and after the current is applied and the doctor in attendance pronounces him dead, his friends revive him through this new method, or any other, does he gain his liberty or must he serve the rest of his life in prison?" The Sun's answer was as follows: "The execution under the present law in this State isn't completed until the doctors have performed an autopsy. In other words, the doctors are executioners. After they have cut the criminal up there is no doubt about his being dead." This has an ugly sound, but who can demonstrate that the Sun is wrong.-N. Y. Med. Journal.
