YERBA SANTA Has long been used in California as a bitter tonic, and also as a stimulant balsamic expectorant. There is considerable testimony as to its usefulness in Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis and allied conditions. The fluid extracts of Yerba Santa, however, are generally found inelegant and unsatisfactory, owing to the speedy precipitation of the resinoids to which the herb owes its therapeutic efficacy. MALTINE exercises a peculiar subtle power of retaining in suspension the resins of Yerba Santa-inasmuch as the albuminoids of Maltine attract and hold the minute resinous flakes and prevent their precipitation. MALTO-YERBINE With the nutritive, emollient and Each fluid ounce contains the active principle of 30 grains Yerba Santa. demulcent properties of Maltine, and the expectorant qualities of Yerba Santa, this preparation is recommended to the profession with the fullest confidence that it is the most perfect remedy yet produced for all Chronic Pulmonary Affections, Irritation of the Mucous Membrane, Difficult Expectoration and Bronchitis. In those disturbances of the system ordinarily spoken of as colds, the generally lowered condition of the vital forces offer a strong indication for its employment.

ENTIRE YEAR. Write for OPEN THE W. J. ELLIOTT Principal Cor. Yonge and Alexander Sts. Ladies and Gentlemen,-I cannot fully express myself for the honor I received at your hands at our last annual meeting. My voice is not strong enough to express my appreciation of your good will towards me and my confreres from the West. I feel my inability to do justice to the position to which I have been exalted, and I will crave your patience and sympathies for a brief space of your time. I cannot vie with those who have preceded me in this honored chair; I can only strive to emulate them. We have already an honored list of Past Presidents, and, while the time now is short when I will be with them, I feel that my interest in this Association will ever increase as the years roll by, and I can never for a moment believe that our Association will ever wane, but that its usefulness and power will increase from year to year, and that it will be a standing authority on Provincial matters concerning our profession. I am sure we may well feel proud to-day to celebrate the 25th anniversary of our existence. We have arrived at the quartercentury mark in a very healthy and prosperous condition, and I do not fear-I feel I can be prophetic-that those who will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of this Association will, when it arrives at the half-century mark, find that medicine has made even greater *Delivered before the Ontario Medical Association, June, 1905. strides during the second quarter than during the first, and that our Association will be credited with promoting in no small degree the welfare of the people. I feel that we here in Ontario would be unworthy of our noble calling if we had not brought into existence the Ontario Medical Association and given it our encouragement and support. Among our neighbors to the south, the people of the United States-I came near saying Americans, but, as is well known, we, as Canadians, claim that title ourselves the State Association is a great factor in the building up and ennobling of all the higher ideals of life and is considered one of the best authorities on all matters pertaining to the control of the profession and the health of the people. In this I feel we should vie with our neighbors, and not be behind in any matter pertaining to the health of the province. There is no reason why Ontario should not be to the fore in the fight against the enemies of life. There is much that is of a provincial nature-the work of the Provincial Board of Health, the care of the insane, the public hospitals, the relief of inebriety, medical legislation, including medical education. A matter of no little importance, too, as it brings the members of our profession into closer touch with each other. It is to the benefit of the individual member. He cannot fail to have his mental horizon extended-in union there is strength. It has been said that surgery has about reached its limit and that there is little left for us to do in the way of improvement. Surgery is in as active a stage as ever. While much of the work that is being done now appears marvellous compared with the work of a quarter of a century ago, there is no doubt, and many of our surgeons recognize it, that there is still in sight a great field for improvement, and that we may be looked upon as Lilliputians compared with those who will do the work at the end of the next quarter or half century. While our knowledge is actually great, it seems little after all, when we consider the possibilities of the future. When the tubercle bacillus was made known to us we were congratulating ourselves that the white plague would disappear forever. Although we are wondrous wise, we have no reason as yet to boast of any great wisdom. No matter how much we quarantine the microbes they still produce-I say this advisedly-such diseases as the white plague, enteric fever, the infectious diseases and many others, and by their flank movements get in their deadly work. On the part of the physician it will always be a fight to the finish—the French proverb, Après la mort la Medicin, expresses it aply—on the part of the microbe a fight to the death. The discoveries that have already been made impress us only too strongly that research work must be pursued on a larger scale than ever, and our multi-millionaires, benevolently, philanthropically inclined, in their later days at least, could not do better than aid in the great work of research. While we can felicitate ourselves |
