IT'S ABSORBENT PROPERTIES-greatest in the Empire." 4th. ITS EASY APPLICATION to any part of the body, not being necessary to fold over as with other bandages, as it follows itself with equal uniformity around any part of the abdomen. 5th. ITS SELF-HOLDING QUALITIES. No bother No bother with pins, needles or thread, or string, so tiresome to surgeons, as simply tucking the end under the last fold insures Its permanent stay until its removal for purposes of cleaa liness. 6th The only Bandage that is SUPERIOR TO THE ELASTIC STOCKING for varicose veins.

REED & CARNRICK, New York Medical Therapeutics Various Neuroses of the Larynx In a "Note on Codeine," in the Lancet, Dr. James Braithwaite, of Leeds, says: "Codeine seems to have a special action upon the nerves of the larynx; hence it relieves a tickling cough better than any ordinary form of opium. One-half of a grain may be given half an hour before bedtime. It was in my own case that I first began to use codeine. For more than twenty years, usually once every winter, I have been seized with a spasmodic cough just before going to sleep, which becomes so severe that I am compelled to get up and sit by the fire. After an hour or two I return to bed and am free from the cough till the next winter. In other respects I enjoy good health. Many years ago I found that one-half grain of codeine, taken about two hours before bedtime, absolutely stops the attack and leaves no unpleasant effect the next morning. In cases of vomiting from almost any cause, one-quarter grain doses of codeine usually answer exceedingly well. In the milder forms of diarrhoea one-half to one grain of the drug usually answers most satisfactorily, and there are no unpleasant after-effects.' We find, however, that where there is great pain, the analgesic effect of codeine may not be sufficient, and a combination with anti kamnia is required. It is best given in the grains antikamnia and 4 grain codeine. form of a tablet, the proportions being 434 Sometimes chronic neuroses may be cured by breaking the continuity of the pain, for which purpose we have found this combination peculiarly suited. Clinical reports in great numbers are being received from many sections of this country, which, while verifying Dr. Braithwaite's observations as to the value of codeine, place even a more exalted value upon the advisability of always combining it with antikamnia in treatment of any neuroses of the larynx, coughs, bronchial affections, excessive vomiting, milder. forms of diarrhea, as well as chronic neuroses; the therapeutical value of both being enhanced by combination.
