WHAT A PHYSICIAN IN HIGH STANDING SAys of wamPOLE'S TASTELESS COD LIVER OIL.

DR. C. C. PERRY, of Philadelphia, writes H. K. Wampole & Co., as follows: DEAR SIRS, Having time and thinking the history of my daughter's case-about which I spoke the other day-may be of interest to you, I will write its most marked points and the results of most careful treatment which have been favorable beyond our most sanguine expectations, and are due almost entirely to a long-continued exhibition of your Cod Liver Oil Preparation.

A little more than four years ago, my daughter Charlotte-in her twentieth year-first gave evidence of lung trouble. After most careful examination by several of the best known physicians, viz., the late William Pepper, A. L. Loomis and Sydney Ringer, of London, it was conceded that she had incipient phthisis, and the most we could hope for would be to mitigate her most urgent symptoms by the most efficacious remedies at hand, and sustain her strength by a supporting plan of treatment till the end came. Her mother and myself were naturally greatly concerned, and made use of every means at our command to successfully arrest the inroads of the disease. The favorite creosote and other highly extolled treatment, change of climate and the strictest hygienic and dietetic measures were adopted, at first with some degree of success, but her condition rapidly grew worse, in spite of all our efforts, and we entertained grave fears for her recovery. Her cough was most distressing, the pain at the apex of the right lung most acute, and the hectic fever and nightsweats weakening in the extreme. Her weight at the end of a year from the invasion of the disease was ninety pounds, decreased from 130, her normal weight. The power of assimilation had become almost nil, and it was only by exercise of the greatest care that the simplest forms of nourishment were retained. Milk in small quantity, with limewater and å little whisky, appeared grateful to her, but Cod Liver Oil was mainly relied upon, and we ran the gamut of its preparations. They all finally became so disgusting to her because they nauseated her so, that I was obliged to desist and was almost in despair. Your preparation of the oil had been favorably mentioned to me, and after carefully considering its scientific composition, I resolved to give it. My daughter's prejudice against the oil in any form had by this time become so marked, that subterfuge had to be resorted to, before she would take it. In fact she expressed herself as wishing to be permitted to die peacefully, and not nauseated to death. She was informed that the plan of treatment was to be radically changed. Now a most remarkable thing occurred. Your preparation of the oil was given her, with much trepidation, I must confess-the first moderate dose being taken without any suspicion whatever and retained, so with the second and third. The second day was a repetition of the first, and hope sprung anew in our hearts, for we felt that if she could only be made to assimilate sufficient nourishment to compensate for the waste, she would be able to combat the disease successfully. From day to day I gradually increased the dose till she was taking as much as I deemed expedient. As her body became better nourished, the most urgent symptoms began to subside. Her cough became less distressing, the pain less acute, and the hectic fever and nightsweats almost entirely disap

peared. Her general appearence and condition at the end of the second twelve months was vastly improved, and she began to desire some of the good things of which formerly she had been exceedingly fond. And she was able to digest them fairly well. Meantime my vigilance was never relaxed a particle, but kept carefully on with the treatment, and noted a most gratifying condition of favorable symptoms. Several of the physicians, who asserted that she could not live, have died, while she has steadily improved, till at present writing she presents no appearance of a phthisical subject, and physical examination fails to reveal any sign that there is organic disease of the lung. Her weight is now 135 pounds, five pounds more than she ever weighed. She still takes the oil, but sparingly. She was recently married, and I see no reason why she will not fill a useful future. My experience with your preparation dates back only three years, it is true, but it has been so eminently satisfactory in this and other cases, that I regard it as a sheet anchor in the treatment of wasting forms of disease, and it gives me pleasure to write you my opinion, that it is the most valuable of all Cod Liver Oil Preparations.

With very best wishes, I remain,

Yours, very truly,

C. C. PERRY, M.D.

A CASE OF PNEUMONIA FOLLOWING SEVERE TYPHOID-RECOVERY

J. B. W.—White, male, age thirty years; was recovering from a severe case of typhoid. On the thirty-sixth day his temperature was normal. On the thirty-ninth day it again began to rise, and in a few days had reached 104.5, the pulse 140. A severe cough and consolidation of the right lung told the story of a complicating pneumonia. After the long and severe drain upon his resources incident to the typhoid his condition presented a very alarming, not to say desperate, situation.

Counsel was called, and it was decided that his only hope lay in the generous use of Antiphlogistine. A "large" package was secured and heated by placing the sealed can in hot water. The temperature of the room was brought up to about 80 deg. A cotton lined cheese-cloth jacket, open upon the shoulders and in front was prepared and warmed. Uncovering the patient's thorax, Antiphlogistine as hot as could be borne was spread upon the skin about one-eighth inch thick, over as much of the thoracic walls as could be reached (back, front, side and over the shoulder). This was covered with the jacket. Turning the patient over, the other side was dressed in the same way. The jacket was then drawn together over the shoulders and down the front with stout thread. It is proper to say the entire contents of the 341⁄2 oz. package (large) was used for the one dressing.

The effect was surprisingly prompt. In a few hours the temperature had declined to a point of safety and the pulse to 120. A similar dressing was applied fresh every twenty-four hours. The improvement was steady and marked, and in six days the patient was again convalescent, thanks to Antiphlogistine.

The brilliant outcome in this case taught me the importance of careful attention to detail in the use of Antiphlogistine. Like everything else worth while, it must be properly used if the best results are to be obtained.-From a correspondent in Florida.
