Sal Hepatica a Uric Acid Solvent.

The panic had struck me so hard just when I learned that you were getting out a new magazine that I thought I could not spare one dollar for anything except the actual necessaries of life. I have decided, however, that monthly advice and encouragement from Dr. Carr are necessaries. May your good work prosper.-Mrs. Josie C. Bicksler, Oral, South Dakota.

Our Correspondence Club.

Some time ago a Correspondence Club was organized among the readers of Medical Talk. We concurred with the idea and instituted the same. We have received a number of requests from subscribers who would like to reinstate this club. We should be glad to have letters for publication and shall print them as fast as we receive them.

A correspondence started in this way between congenial people, cannot fail to result in a great deal of good. "Learn from each other" that is our motto. The people who read our magazine know many things better than we do. We would like to set the people to work learning from each other and a Correspondence Club among our readers is a step in this direction. We are glad to lend it all the assistance we can.

Kindly place me in your correspondence club. I shall be glad to correspond with any person with the view of learning "just a little bit more."-Maud Cliffton, 273 Post Street, San Jose, Calif.

Whenever the true merit of a preparation is authoritatively established, imitation is sure to make its pernicious appearance. To counteract the injurious results of another of these fraudulent proceedingsin this instance affecting firm name and reputationSANDER & SONS have been compelled to appeal to law, and in the action tried before the Supreme Court of Victoria, the testimony of a sworn witness revealed the fact that this witness suffered intense irritation from the application to an ulcer of the defendant's product, which was palmed off as "just as good" as SANDER'S EUCALYPTOL. SANDER & SONS had the satisfaction to obtain a verdict with costs against this imitator, who is perpetually restrained from continuing his malpractice.

Dr. Owen, in a report to the Medical Society of Victoria, and Dr. I. Benjamin, in the Lancet, London, both denounced, as others did before, on the strength of negative results, the application of unspecified eucalyptus products.

This forms convincing proof that only an authoritatively sanctioned article can be relied upon.

SANDER & SONS' EUCALYPTOL

(Eucalypti Extract)

1. Has stood the test of Government investigation. 2. It was proved at the Supreme Court of Victoria by experts to be an absolutely pure and scientific standardized preparation.

3. It is honored by Royal Patronage.

4. It always produces definite therapeutic results. Therefore, to safeguard the physicians' interests and to protect their patients, we earnestly request to specify "SANDER'S EUCALYPTOL" when prescribing eucalyptus.

The Meyer Bros. Drug Co., St. Louis, Mo., agents, will forward one original package (1 oz.) on receipt of One Dollar.

DR. W. R. C. LATSON, Editor of Health-Culture

EALTH is a most valuable asset. With it you can meet any strain or stress that may come to you. Be ready for the emergencies of life and able to do your best. Without it one cannot prosper or be happy. Health is within the reach of all. It is simply a matter of knowing something about how to live and the right use of Food, Air, Exercise and the Mind. Living to be well makes life a delight, not a burden. The person who is well does

not have to sacrifice the joys of living; only the sick do that.

HEALTH-CULTURE is edited by Dr. W. R. C. Latson, a wellknown authority, and one of the brightest and most advanced writers of the day on the Art of Living. It is opposed to the use of drugs which never cure, vaccination and needless operations.

HEALTH-CULTURE stands for higher ideals of life and better living and all that is implied by this. Its aim will be to make men and women better Physically, Mentally and Morally, to save the lives of children, adding to the length of life and to the value of human existence by increasing the ability to accomplish and enjoy. One of Life's Essentials is the proper use of food, what to eat to meet the various conditions of life, what is best for the growing child, the active adult and the more sedentary aged. The consideration of this is an important feature of HEALTH-CULTURE, but as it cannot be considered fully, a work on this subject has been issued which admirably supplements the magazine.

Fever Blisters.

Cold sores or fever blisters usually disappear of themselves in about a week. lf any local treatment is given, bathing them in spirits of camphor is as good as anything. Their name comes from the cause. Usually fever. Sometimes any irritation of the skin from a cold, or a pipe stem or cigar. Indigestion will also cause them.

Touching the cold sores lightly with colorless tincture of iodine will sometimes cause them to disappear very quickly. Those very much subject to cold sores should take small doses of calcium sulphide three times a day for a month or so. This remedy has a tendency to break up the habit of cold sores and styes on the eye lids.

We desire to call in all the back issues that our subscribers do not care to keep or that were sent in error. We will trade current numbers for any February, March or April issues sent us.

SCARED TO DEATH.

ILLIAM H. MARSH, a wealthy Flatbush manufacturer, who lived at No. 75 Ocean Avenue, was practically scared to death by his physicians.

It seems that Mr. Marsh had a little brown spaniel, named Happy. It was a great favorite of his youngest daughter. The dog had been wounded, and Mr. Marsh took the animal to his factory and sent for a veterinary to attend to the dog.

While he was waiting for the doctor to come, he dressed the wound himself. The account says that after Mr. Marsh had bandaged the wound the dog was so grateful that he licked Mr. Marsh's

hands, and in passing his tongue over an abrasion on one of his fingers, inoculated him with hydrophobia.

It does not appear that there was any suspicion that the dog had hydrophobia. Not the slightest. The dog had been hurt, but was apparently in good health, and seemed to have nothing the matter with him except his injury.

The account says that this thing occurred "six weeks ago," which, of course, means six weeks previous to the report which I am quoting. Several weeks passed after the event of the wounded dog.

One day, while Mr. Marsh was washing himself, he had a slight convulsion.
