ANOPEPTON PAN The best of "First-Aid" Foods In cases of shock or collapse from accident, operation, crisis, over-exertion, sudden illness, or any cause, Panopepton is a quick and sure restorative. It is ready to use; is well retained, instantly absorbed, gives the cordial effect of a perfectly diffusible nutrient. Panopepton does not merely "fan the flame of life" like a stimulant; it cherishes life and gives it renewed energy.

BUT DON'T LET OUR IMITATORS DECEIVE YOU! THE SOLUTION OF THE PROPRIETARY QUESTION IS THE USE OF THE ALKALOIDS - ACTIVE - PRINCIPLE THERAPY There is no monopoly upon the active principles. Everything is, technically, wide open. Every druggist in the United States may, if he can, make and supply them without paying any one for the privilege. In fact, every large manufacturer of pills and tablets in the world now carries many or a few of these agents upon his list. Nevertheless, physicians should not fall into the error of supposing that even these agents from different houses are invariably alike because their mere names are identical. On the contrary, there is an enormous and dangerous variability in many of these preparations as presented by different manufacturers for the use of the physician. In the W-A Text-Book of Alkaloidal Therapeutics, page 2, are mentioned five aconitines, whose total daily doses vary from gr. 1-20 to 15 grains, while aconitine, A. A. Co. (standard) is usually (and always safely and efficiently) given in doses of gr. 1-134 frequently repeated till the desired effect is produced. The Abbott Alkaloidal Co. makes it its business to secure or make the best preparations which it is possible to obtain, to secure or make these always of exactly the same strength, and to put them up and out in exactly the same way; and that is why Abbott quality" is not approached by any of our imitators. For instance: Of many millions of aconitine granules sent out during the past ten years no two lots have ever been found to differ in strength. This result is obtained by the care taken to secure the alkaloids in exactly the same form, and from the same manufacturers, and by the continuous employment of specially-skilled operatives to prepare them in granules and tablets that are just right. As an example of the care which is taken to secure quality, we buy especially purified sulphocarbolates for that Prince of Specialties," the "W-A Intestinal Antiseptic," by the ton, and pay far more than the ordinary market price for commercial goods. That's why our sulphocarbo lates are just right. This is but one instance of many in which the question of cost is not considered, as it never is by us, where quality is in question. For these reasons, we invariably decline to enter upon a contest over prices. There are other things more important to the physician than cheapness, and among these absolute certainty as to quality and strength (absolute dependability) is not the least. Of course, if one were to go into the open market and buy the cheapest thing offered under the same name, as many do, and employ the cheapest labor to work this material up into granules, a considerable reduction might be made in prices, but what do you get for the risk you run? Good drugs are cheap enough. Nothing is too good for the doctor. Our goods are right-right from start to finish. If you are interested write and say so, mentioning this advertisement. Toronto: W.
