With this issue of the JOURNAL OF HOMEOPATHY, we begin the second volume. When the publishers put out the first number twelve months ago, it was with the expectation of going into the business to stay and we see no reason to change our views. The journal has met with a most flattering success among the homoeopathic profession who now look upon it as the only physician's journal in the Southwest. It is true there are other homeopathic journals but they are merely house organs published for the purpose of pushing the business of the house back of them. They masquerade as newspapers for the purpose of obtaining second-class rates and in justice to the real professional journals, such house organs ought to be excluded from the mails. So far as the JOURNAL OF HOMEOPATHY is concerned, it is free from all such entangling alliances and depends upon its merits for its success. The publishers during the coming year will endeavor to make the paper still more necessary to physicians and we ask the same co-operation for the coming year which they have so freely given us during the year just ended. We are sending out a number of this issue as sample copies and if you desire the paper sent you regularly please indicate that fact to the Shultz Publishing Co., 105-107 N. 6th St.

Our readers will notice the artistic advertisement in this issue of "Dioviburnia," the most powerful uterine tonic attainable, Anti-Spasmodic and Anodyne, which has simplified the practice of Gyneocology.

Pain Due to Antitoxine Injection Relieved and Rest in Diphtheria Secured.

"Rest is one of the sweetest words in our language, and in the management of no disease is this more true than in diphtheria. In keeping with the experience of Dr. T. E. Murrell, Ex Vice-President of the American Medical Association, and Dr. Pollack, of St. Louis, one of the most experienced practitioners of our city, who found antikamnia valuable as a reliever of the pain of nocturnal earache, I have found it of great value as a sleep producer in these cases, given in doses of two and a half to five grains every two to four hours, accompanied by a judicious amount of stimulation, such as wine or toddy. There is no after depression nor have I ever found other than satisfactory results when used." So writes Dr. I. N. Love, Professor of Clinical Medicine, Diseases of Children and Hygiene, Marion-Sims Medical College, in an exhaustive and comprehensive article entitled "SOME POINTS PERTAINING TO THE PRESENT PATHOLOGIC AND THERAPEUTIC STATUS OF DIPHTHERIA."

Dr. Eggers of Horton Place, Physician and Surgeon St. Louis and Suburban Railway System, also reports in the treatment of an attack of diphtheria in a member of his own family, that to obtund the pain consequent upon the injection of antitoxine-serum, which ordinarily lasts from three to four hours, he exhibited antikamnia internally which secured relief in a few minutes. Clinical reports verify the value of codeine in combination with antikamnia in the treatment of any neuroses of the larynx, coughs, bronchial affections, la grippe and its sequela as well as chronic neuroses; the therapeutical value of both being enhanced by combination. The tablets of "Antikamnia and Codeine," containing 44 grains antikamnia and 4 grain codeine, meet the indications almost universally.

AN ESSENTIAL ADJUNCT TO TREATMENT.

BY JOHN J. SULLIVAN, M. D., Unviersity of the City of New York. On account of the frequency with which pneumonia in late years is accompanied with grippal symptoms, the treatment, to a great extent has been modified or changed. The essential features in the result desired are a diminution of the pain and a lowering of the temperature. Opinions differ as to whether a reduction of the temperature influences the course of the disease, but a concensus of opinion is that antipyretic treatment is distinctly called for in the beginning, and an analgesic at all times, if needed to assuage suffering. The antipyretic should be antikamnia, and the analgesic is supplied by codeine and antikamnia together. This is given every three or four hours in tablets containing 44 grains antikamnia and 14 grain codeine, throughout the period of congestion and consolidation. Where there is great restlessness, this will have a delightful effect.

In the nocturnal pains of syphilis, in the grinding pains which precede labor, and the uterine contractions which often lead to abortion, in tic

douleureux, brachialgia, cardialgia, gastralgia, hepatalgia, nephralgia and dysmenorrhoea, immediate relief is afforded by the use of this combination, and the relief is not merely temporary and palliative, but in very many cases curative.

In the neuroses of the respiratory organs, great relief is afforded by the use of this combination. A paroxysm of asthma is often cut short by a full dose; hay-fever or autumnal catarrh is benefited by its use.

In the harassing cough of phthisis, or in the pain of pleuritis, in the painful sensations accompanying bronchitis when the tubes are dry and irritable as they usually are the blending of codeine and antikamnia will not be found wanting in its acion, but will give results that are gratifying to both the patient and the medical attendant. As a producer of sleep it will be found efficacious. This is doubly true where there is great nervous excitement.

In pulmonary diseases this combination is worthy of trial. It is a sedative to the respiratory centers in both acute and chronic disorders of the lungs. Cough in the vast majority of cases is promptly and lastingly decreased and often entirely suppressed. In diseases of the respiratory organs, pain and cough are the symptoms which especially call for something to relieve; this tablet does it, and in addition controls the violent movements accompanying the cough, and which are so distressing.

This combination is the remedy for diabetes and is superior to any other in diminishing the quantity of sugar in the urine, and also in diminishing the quantity of urine itself in diabetes mellitus. The bulimia and polydip

EALIZING that in many of the diseases in which LAMBERT'S LITHIATED HYDRANGEA has been found to possess great therapeutic value, it is of the highest importance that suitable diet be employed, we have had pr. pared for the convenience of physicians,

sia are lessened by its use, and probably the changes in the nervous system which accompany or are causative of the disease, or arrested are prevented. It also prevents waste. It controls restlessness; it relieves insomnia; it relieves distressing nervous symptoms. It relieves the

craving of the stomach, and lessens the frequency of the calls to urinate.

It is not claimed that the combination will cure diabetes mellitus, but there will be, in many cases, arrest of the disease, with prolonged periods of good health and cure in some cases. 266 West 38th Street, New York City.
