Memphis Medical Monthly Tri-State Medical Association of Mississippi, Arkansas and CROSSCUP & WEST ENG CO PHILA "Nutrition is the Physical Basis of Life." This axiom, formulated by the lamented Fothergill, conveys a world of meaning to the intelligent physician. If a food can be obtained containing all the elements necessary for the nourishment and support of the body, and which can also be readily assimilated under every condition of disease, an immense advantage is obtained in controlling symptoms and restoring wasted tissues. Mal-nutrition and mal-assimilation are potent factors in a long train of critical ailments. BUSH'S FLUID FOOD BOVININE combines in a concentrated form all the extractive or albuminous properties of uncooked beef, together with its stimulating salts. Dr. Geo. D. Hays, of New York Post Graduate School, in an exhaustive essay on Artificial Alimentation, thus alludes to BOVININE: "Of the preparations of raw food extracts one has a clinically proved value. It is rich in nitrogenous substances and phosphates. It is readily digested and absorbed and can be relied upon for the entire sustenance of the body for a considerable period." The blood corpuscles, which carry such a wealth of vitalizing power, are found in BOVININE intact, as revealed by the microscope in countless thousands. B. N. Towle, M.D., of Boston, in a notable paper on Raw Foods, read before the American Medical Association at Washington, D. C., May 6th, 1884, thus refers to BOVININE: "I have given it continually to patients for months with signal comfort, especially in complicated cases of dyspepsia attended by epigastric uneasiness from inervation, and in nervous debility of long standing. Raw food is equally adapted to acute lingering diseases." In stomach and intestinal troubles of childhood proceeding from indigestion, its administration is followed by marked benefits, while bottlefed infants thrive wonderfully upon it, five to fifteen drops being added to each feeding. A decided change for the better is often seen in weakly infants in twenty-four hours. BOVININE is palatable to the most fastidious taste. Samples to physicians on application. CAREFULLY PREPARED BY THE J. P. BUSH MANUFACTURING COMPANY, 2 Barclay Street, New York City. Laboratory 42 and 44 Third Avenue, Chicago, Ill. FELLOWS' HYPO-PHOS-PHITES -(SYR: HYPOPHOS: COMP: FELLOWS.) Contains THE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS to the Animal Organization-Potash and Lime; The OXYDIZING AGENTS-Iron and Manganese; The TONICS--Quinine and Strychnine; And the VITALIZING CONSTITUENT-Phosphorus, Combined in the form of a Syrup, with slight alkaline reaction. IT DIFFERS IN EFFECT FROM ALL OTHERS, being pleasant to taste, acceptable to the stomach, and harmless under prolonged use. IT HAS SUSTAINED A HIGH REPUTATION in America and England for efficiency in the treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis, Chronic Bronchitis, and other affections of the respiratory organs, and is employed also in various nervous and debilitating diseases with success. ITS CURATIVE PROPERTIES are largely attributable to Stimulant, Tonic, and Nutritive Qualities, whereby the various organic functions are recruited. IN CASES where innervating constitutional treatment is applied, and tonic treatment is desirable, this preparation will be found to act with safety and satisfaction. ITS ACTION IS PROMPT, stimulating the appetite and the digestion, it promotes assimilation, and enters directly into the circulation with the food products. THE PRESCRIBED DOSE produces a feeling of buoyancy, removing depression or melancholy, and hence is of great value in the treatment of mental and nervous affections. From its exerting a double tonic effect and influencing a healthy flow of the secretions, its use is indicated in a wide range of diseases. Prepared by JAMES I.

SYRUP OF HYDRIODIC ACID INTRODUCED IN 1878. The reputation which Hydriodic Acid has attained during the past ten years was won by this preparation. Numerous imitations, prepared differently, and weaker in Iodine, are offered, from the use of which the same therapeutic effects cannot be obtained. In ordering or prescribing, therefore, please specify "GARDNER'S," if the results which have given this preparation its reputation are desired. Caution. Use no Syrup of Hydriodic Acid which has turned RED. This shows decomposition and free Iodine. In this state it acts as an irritant, and fails to produce desirable results. Therapeutic Indications.-Hay Fever; Rose Cold; Poisoning by Lead, Mercury or Arsenic; Acute and Chronic Rheumatism; Asthma; Chronic Bronchitis; Catarrh; Congestion of Lungs in children; Adenitis; Eczema; Lupus; Chronic Malarial Poisoning; Lumbago; Acute Pneumonia; Psoriasis; Scrofulous Diseases; Goitre; Enlarged Glands; Cold Abscesses; Indolent Sores; Excessive Fat; Fatty Degeneration of the Heart; to absorb non-malignant Tumors; and in the last stages of Syphilis; Syphilitic Phthisis. Details of treatment, contained in the writer's third, fourth and sixth editions, will be forwarded to any physician free of expense upon notification. GARDNER'S CHEMICALLY PURE SYRUPS OF HYPOPHOSPHITES Embracing the separate Syrups of Lime, of Soda, of Iron, of Potassa, of Manganese, and an Elixir of the Quinia Salt; enabling Physicians to accurately follow Dr. Churchill's methods, by which thousands of authenticated cases of Phthisis have been cured. The only Salts, however, used by Churchill in Phthisis are those of Lime, of Soda, and of Quinia, and always separately, according to indications, never combined. The reason for the use of single Salts is because of antagonistic action of the different bases, injurious and pathological action of Iron, Potassa, Manganese, etc., in this disease. These facts have been demonstrated by thirty years' clinical experience in the treatment of this disease exclusively, by Dr. Churchill, who was the first to apply these remedies in medical practice. Modified doses are also required in this disease; seven grains during twenty-four hours being the maximum dose in cases of Phthisis, because of increased susceptibility of the patient to their action, the danger of producing toxic symptoms (as hemorrhage, rapid softening of tubercular deposit, etc.,) and the necessity that time be allowed the various functions to recuperate, simultaneously, over-stimulation by pushing the remedy, resulting in crises and disaster. A pamphlet of sixty-four pages, devoted to a full explanation of these details and others, such as contra-indicated remedies, indications for the use of each hy. pophosphite, reasons for the use of absolutely PURE Salts, protected in Syrup from oxidation, etc., mailed to Physicians without charge upon application to R.
