Sander & Son's Eucalypti Extract (Eucalyptol).—In the article treating on inhalations of eucalyptus in cases of diphtheritis (Berlin Klin. Wochenschrift, 1876, No. 21) by Prof. Dr. Mosler, Director of the Medical clinic of the University at Griefswald, it is stated: "The oleum eucalypti folies, I employed in my tests, I received through Holzle & Chelius, Frankfort-on-the-Main; it must not be mistaken for the more frequently offered oleum eucalypti australe which is obtained from the wood of the eucalyptus trees. This latter oil is used commonly for mechanical purposes and has a far cheaper price; it is, however, no longer applied by me as an internal medicament." We certify that the oleum eucalypti folies named in the Berlin Klin Wochenscrift, 1879, No. 21, and there mentioned to have been procured from us, was the product of Messrs.

I remain very truly yours, ASA HORR, M. D. Sanmetto in Diseases of the Bladder and Kidney.-To whom it may concern: I have been in the practice of medicine for the past forty-four years, and say without hesitation that I have never prescribed any remedy that in its action is so near a specific in diseases of the bladder and kidney as Sanmetto, and particularly in cases of urethral inflammation combined with difficult micturition. Much might be said truthfully in favor of Sanmetto in all diseases of the genitourinary organs. I think it is the remedy for those diseases, and the best now in use. East Lynne, Conn. D. CALKINS, M. D. On the Increase. We have just been advised that the proportion of those American physicians using and having confidence in H. K.

The articles will be illustrated, and will contain the views of various writers upon the question of business management in medical journalism. Cormorant Advertisers. An exchange in referring to this class of swindlers, says: "A worthy and valuable pharmaceutical development hardly secures general recognition before a horde of imitators attracted by its success, and knowing full well that the advertising columns of the great bulk of medical journals are open to them if they only promise to pay, rush boldly into the field, with nothing but their assurance as capital. And the medical publishers are most to blame for this. It is a notorious fact that if a would-be promoter will insert a page advertisement in just one journal of ordinary standing, before it makes its second ap. pearance, a hundred other medical journals will be soliciting his patronage, and regardless of any assurance as to when and how they are to be paid, swell with importance in their columns as to the rapidly increasing recognition of their publications. But the reaction has come and all along the line publishers are awakening to the fact that an average of one paying advertiser to four "fakirs" does not pay, no matter how ponderous their advertising pages, and they are finding, too, that their reputable and honest patrons, who do pay, are begining to feel indignant at having their representation dwarfed by those who do not." What better argument can we advance for joining the Association of Medical Publishers and thus avoid the trouble and expense of carrying a "dead" ad.--to say nothing of the rightteous indignation of your honest, prompt-paying patrons. Medical publishers have for years been in the habit of accepting an advertisement simply because they saw it in some other journal, and “presumed it all right, or so-and-so wouldn't publish it." Thus an unscrupulous advertiser could secure space in a score or more journals for several months without paying a cent. There is a concern at the present time placing advertising in the journals, on very liberal terms, too, who cannot show any good reason for their existence, or any just claims for credit. A number of our members have avoided the chagrin of being taken in by asking advice before accesting the business. Join the Association and help us stamp out the advertising frauds.
