IN CASES of suspected foreign bodies in the urethra exploration with sounds should be avoided, or very cautiously performed, as they are apt to be pushed in deeper. It is frequently possible to detect their presence by careful palpation of the penis or through the rectum.

MEN OF HEALTHY AND VIGOROUS appearance have not rarely been found to suffer from azoöspermia, so that examination of the spermatic fluid of the husband in cases of sterility in the wife will often save the latter from much useless treatment and discomfort.

IN THE EARLY STAGE of acute gonorrheal endometritis it is important to abstain from applications to the uterine mucosa, and to restrict treatment to simple measures of cleanliness, as vaginal douches and sitz-baths.-International Jour. of Surgery.

FAIRCHILD'S

ESSENCE of PEPSINE |

----

In Dietetic Treatment

In the dietetic treatment of disorders due to in-nutrition, where it is desired to work up to a generous diet as quickly as possible, Fairchild's Essence of Pepsine proves of véry especial service. Being a physiological agent an actual gastric juice obtained by direct extraction from the fresh stomach glands its action is directed toward repair through the natural processes, and it is found to give a healthful impetus to the vital forces simply by promoting digestion and assimilation. Fairchild's Essence is known wherever drugs and medicines are dispensed and there should never be any question or delay in filling a prescription for it. To accept a substitute is to invite disappointment. It is always necessary to specify Fairchild's

FAIRCHILD BROS. & FOSTER
NEW YORK

CONTAINS the ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS of the Animal Organization-Potash

and Lime;

THE OXIDISING AGENTS-Iron and Manganese;

THE TONICS-Quinine and Strychnine; (each fluid drachm contains the equivalent of 1-64th grain of pure Strychnine).

AND THE VITALIZING CONSTITUENT-Phosphorus; the whole combined in the form of a Syrup with a SLIGHTLY ALKALINE REACTION.

IT DIFFERS IN ITS EFFECTS FROM ALL ANALOGOUS PREPARATIONS; and it possesses the important properties of being pleasant to the taste, easily borne by the stomach, and harmless under prolonged use.

IT HAS GAINED A WIDE REPUTATION, particularly in the treatment of Chronic Bronchitis, and other affections of the respiratory organs. It has also been employed with much success in various nervous and debilitating dis

eases.

ITS CURATIVE POWER is largely attributable to its stimulant, tonic, and nutritive properties, by means of which the energy of the system is recruited. ITS ACTION IS PROMPT; it stimulates the appetite and the digestion, it promotes assimilation, and it enters directly into the circulation with the food products.

The prescribed dose produces a feeling of buoyancy, and removes depression and melancholy; hence the preparation is of great value in the treatment of mental and nervous affections. From the fact, also, that it exerts a tonic influence, and induces a healthy flow of the secretions, its use is indicated in a wide range of diseases.

NOTICE-CAUTION

The success of Fellows' Syrup of Hypophosphites has tempted certain persons to offer imitations of it for sale. Mr. Fellows, who has examined samples of several of these, finds that no two of them are identical, and that all of them differ from the original in composition, in freedom from acid reaction, in susceptibility to the effects of oxygen when exposed to light or heat, in the property of retaining the strychnine in solution, and in the medicinal effects.

As these cheap and inefficient substitutes are frequently dispensed instead of the genuine preparation, physicians are earnestly requested, when prescribing the Syrup, to write "Syr. Hypophos. Fellows."

As a further precaution, it is advisable that the Syrup should be ordered in the original bottles; the distinguishing marks which the bottles (and the wrappers surrounding them) bear, can then be examined, and the genuineness—or otherwise— of the contents thereby proved.

This preparation can be procured at all chemists and druggists, everywhere.
