IN IRON ADMINISTRATION A HIGHLY PALATABLE PREPARATION OF IRON CHLORIDE. RON is easily chief among Hæmatinics. According to T. Lauder IRON Brunton, M.D., D.Sc., F.R.S., it increases the number of blood corpuscles; the percentage of hæmaglobin in them, and functional activity of all the vital organs; as a vascular tonic classes with digitalis and strychnine, and in its alterative qualities with arsenic. The tincture of Chloride of Iron has long been recognized as the inost efficient of iron preparations, the objections to its continued. administration, its highly astringent taste, its corrosive action on the teeth, and constipating action have, however, been hitherto insurmountable. We have succeeded in preparing an entirely palatable syrup of officinal Tincture Iron Chloride combining all its virtues with none of its drawbacks. It is prepared after the formula of Dr. G. W. Weld, and is entitled: "WELD'S SYRUP OF IRON CHLORIDE." (P., D. & CO.'S) We earnestly recommend its trial to all the profession, believing it to be the most acceptable preparation of Iron ever devised. Samples will be sent on receipt of request to physicians who indicate their willingness to pay express charges. PARKE, DAVIS & CO., Detroit, New York and Kansas City. BY J. J. MAXFIELD, M. D. A year ago Mr. A., fifty-one years old, consulted me for an oldstanding and intractable cystitis, as he supposed and had been informed by two physicians. I suggested an exploration and readily detected a stone. It was a large one, and it was so hard that you could hear the click of the instrument in any part of my office. I advised that he should have an operation performed, but as his brother had died after same operation a few years previously, he was afraid and refused to consent. In view to palliate, I ordered him to drink one quart of Buffalo Lithia Water every day. Washing out the bladder once a day with the same, warm, a careful attention to diet and bowels, with gentle tonics. This treatment was faithfully kept up for nine months, when pus appeared in the urine and the operation could no longer be delayed. During the time he was under the treatment, large quantities of débris came away, some of the pieces were so large that it was only by great effort that they were passed via urethra. None of these were saved. The day before the operation, on the twentieth day of June, I examined him again, and the stone did not seem so large nor was the click so pronounced, though we could tell that there was a stone present by the grating as from a rough body. On the twentyfirst, I did the left lateral operation, and after getting into the bladder, I introduced the forceps, grasped the stone and pulling it away I found it was like a mass of putty filled with sand. It was sacculated and there was a quantity of pus in the viscus. With forceps, gouge, curette and fingers I finally got it all away. but that it could not be crushed with very little effort between the fingers. After the fragments were allowed to dry they became hard. No part of it was so hard The cut will illustrate better than I could tell how some of the mass looked, though a great deal of the finest particles were lost in the irrigation. It will be noticed that there were very few large pieces, and these were so soft that they would drop to pieces on the slightest provocation. This friable quality showed me why I did not get so pronounced a sound at my second examination, nine months after the first. Had I known before I operated what I knew afterward, I would not have done it, but with a lithotrite I would have crushed it and washed it out, though I believe firmly that if I had continued the treatment of the Buffalo Lithia Water a few weeks more the stone would have fallen to pieces. The outer segments were roughened, showing the disintegrating action of the water in dissolving it. I believe the case is unique in every particular and shows the value of Buffalo Lithia Water so clearly that I thought it worth reporting. The patient made a complete recovery without an accident to mar it. The total weight of the pieces saved was 213 grains.-The Prescription. Other Clinical Reports and Descriptive Pamphlet sent free.
