BALTIMORE, MD., Oct. 2, 1884. Gentlemen:-I have had a careful analysis made of a sample of your Malt Whiskey, as you requested, and find it remarkably free from fusel oll and other objectionable materials so often found in the whiskeys of the present day.

Its flavor is quite pleasant and agreeable to both taste and smell, and it is, therefore, well suited to all cases that require the use of an alcoholic stimulant. HARVEY L. BYRD, M. D., President of the Faculty, and Professor of the Baltimore Medical College.

ROCHESTER, N. Y., Oct. 8, 1884. Dear Sirs:-I have frequently prescribed your Malt Whiskey in my practice here; I consider it a very superior and reliable article, and can heartily recommend it in low states, in fevers, acute inflammations, and in depressing maladies generally, also as a tonic in feeble digestion and convalescence from acute diseases, when an alcoholic stimulant is indicated, and especially in Phthisis Pulmonalis.

METCALF'S COMPOUND FLUID EXTRACT

OF

STILLINGIA

IN THE TREATMENT OF SYPHILIS. By J. MARION SIMS, M. D.- Condensed from BRITISH MEDICAL JOURNAL. More than forty years ago, I practiced medicine in Montgomery County, Alabama, near the Creek Nation of Indians. Syphilis was then very prevalent among them and their medicine-men had the reputation of speedily curing it. Their remedies, were, of course, decoctions of native herbs. It was generally known that queen's root (Stillingia Sylvatica) was one of their principal agents. I had supposed that, when this tribe were removed west of the Mississippi in 1837, their secret of curing syphilis had gone with them; but when I was in Alabama last year, I learned from my brother-in-law, Dr. B. Rush Jones, of Montgomery, that Dr. Geo. W. McDade investigated a preparation used by Horace King, a mulatto sla ve, residing among the Creek Indians, and from whom he learned their secret.

Dr. McDade recommends-Instead of making decoctions, "I had the remedies prepared in fluid extract form, which places the remedy on a scientific basis and insures uniformity of action.

"In making the fluid extracts, there is some risk of getting a remedy less efficient than the original Indian decoction, because the manufacturer may use roots that have been kept too long, and lost some of there active principles, while the decoction used on the plantations was always made of fresh roots jus t gathered from the woods, and we should therefore be careful to have them made from roots recently gathered."

We have prepared a Compound Fluid Extract of Stillingia from Fresh Drugs, and represents the preparation as recommended by Dr Sims. The ordinary dose is one teaspoonful, repeated three times a day, to be taken with water, or sugar and water, increasing the dose until a tablespoonful has been taken.

LIQUOR PANCREATICUS.

(METCALF & CO'S.)

An Exceedingly active solution of the digestive ferments of the fresh pancreas, capable of converting proteids into peptones and starch into sugar with wonderful rapidity. From its high digestive powers its success as a remedy in

GENERAL INDICESTION

has been without a precedent, and although the attention of the medical profession has been called to this solution only a few years it has everywhere proved of great service in digestive troubles.

Liquor Pancreaticus is almost tasteless and colorless and can be prescribed for the most delicate patient to whom an unsightly powder or imperfect liquid mixture would be disagreeable, or perhaps impossible to swallow. Physicians who have made the digestive action a special study endorse this solution also for the preparation of peptonized or partially digested foods for the treatment of disordered digestion. "So used and guarded (by an alkali), artificial pancreatic secretion contains the greatest promise in dyspeptic cases.'

In many cases the administration of Liquor Pancreaticus causes the most satisfactory improvement in the patient's condition." "The muscles become plump, the subcutaneous fat once more fills out the wrinkled skin; the brain is fed; and with this comes back the lost sense of energy, of fitness for work."

"Milk and milk gruel digested by Liquid Pancreaticus have done me yeoman service in many an intractable case."

"For the purposes of general indigestion the Liquor Pancreaticus is mainly indicated, and will be found of much advantage.' J. MILNER FOTHERGILL, M. D.

When Liquor Pancreaticus is added to an albuminoid solution (milk, soups, broths or gruels containing meat juices), a slight bitter taste will be perceived, when the peptonizing should be stopped. This can be accomplished by bringing the gruel or broth to the boiling temperature.

Send for pamphlet, containing full directions for the internal use of Liquor Pancreaticus and the preparing of peptonized foods.

NESTLÉ'S MILK FOOD

Enjoys an UNASSAILABLE SUPREMACY as a Substitute for Mother's Milk over all other Infants' Food in the market in several

important respects, amongst which are:

1st. It is in itself a complete, ample, and wholesome nourishment for the youngest or most delicate child.

(Of the whole array of well-advertised compounds called "Substitutes for the Mother's Milk," all have to be supplemented with cows' milk except NESTLE'S MILK FOOD.)

2d. By the addition of WATER alone to NESTLE'S FOOD, a diet is furnished which resembles more closely the chemical analysis of mother's milk than any other infants' food known.

3d. The cost of the milk (a considerable item, though not often figured out) is saved. The inconvenience and uncertainty of getting pure, suitable milk is avoided, and the danger in times of epidemic and contagion-such as scarlet fever and cholera-is diminished, by those who can isolate the nursery and depend with safety on NESTLE'S MILK FOOD alone.

During the coming summer, Physicians will appreciate these points.

CAUTION!-The great success attained by NESTLE'S MILK FOOD has induced several imitations. These imitation milk foods should be avoided.

BROMIDIA

FORMULA.-Every fluid drachm contains 15 grs., EACH, of pure Brom. Potas. and purified Chloral and 1-8 gr., EACH, of gen, imp. ext. Cannabis Ind. and Hyoscyam. DOSE.-One-half to one fluid drachm in WATER or SYRUP every hour until sleep is produced. BROMIDIA IS THE HYPNOTIC PAR EXCELLENCE.

It produces refreshing sleep, and is exceedingly valuable in sleeplessness, nervousness, neuralgia, headache, convulsions, colics, etc., and will relieve when opiates fail. Unlike preparations of opium it does not lock up the secretions. In the restlessness and delirium of Fevers it is absolutely invaluable.

We append a few Samples of the Hundreds of Reports received from Physicians regarding the Great Value, Purity, and Safety of "Bromidia."

·) B (

con

Justice to the profession and the claims of truth necessitate the avowal on my part that Battle & Co.'s "BROMIDIA," composed of the best German chloral, bromide of potassium and the purest articles of hyoscyamus and cannabis indica, is par excellence, I am strained to say, THE BEST HYPNOTIC I HAVE EVER USED. The small bulk of the dose, its concentration, purity and general efficacy and conventence, will win over any practitioner who impartially gives it a trial. EVERY DAY OF MY LIFE I use it largely, and have recommended it to hundreds of my brother physicians. At St. Vincent's Asylum 1 made a test of it by giving EACH sister in charge of a ward two bottles, one containing "Bromidia,” the other an ordinary "house chloral mixture," after an impartial trial upon their part, without any previous knowledge of the contents of the bottles, a universal verdict was given in favor of "Bromidia." J. K. BAUDUY, M. D., LL. D., (Prof. Nervous Diseases, etc., Missouri Medical College). R(

St. Louis, Mo.

Battle's "BROMIDIA” I regard as a more elegant and acceptable mode of administering SAFE AND EFFECTUAL HYPNOTICS in childhood, THAN EXTEMPORANEOUS PRESCRIPTIONS. I have no doubt that BROMIDIA has supplied a want long felt by many practitioners in diseases of infancy and childhood, preventing many from yielding to the temptation to use the various preparations of opium, which are so objectionable and dangerous. Louisville, Ky. J. A. LARRABEE, M. D.,

(Prof. Diseases of Children and Mat. Med. and Therapeutics, Hosp. College of Medicine).

·) O (

For the past several years I have prescribed Battle's "BROMIDIA” very frequently, AND HAVE NEVER YET BEEN DISAPPOINTED IN SECURING THE RESULTS REQUIRED. In cases when there is insomnia without pain, in the delirious stages of acute fevers, in delirium tremens, puerperal mania, in short, in all those cases requiring soporifics, I find "BROMIDIA” invaluable. JOSEPH P. ROSS, A. M.. M. D., (Prof. Clinical Medicine and Diseases of the Chest, Rush Med. College), Chicago, Ill. M

Having given Battle's "BROMIDIA" a fair trial, I take pleasure in adding my testimony as to its being a safe, reliable, and efficient hypnotic. JOHN E. DARBY, M. D., Cleveland, O. (Prof. Materia Medica and Therapeutics, Cleveland Medical College).

I have used Battle & Co.'s "BROMIDIA,” and like its effects. It certainly contains the ingredients as published in formula. W. C. CHAPMAN, M. D., Toledo, Ohio. (Lecturer Materia Medica and Therapeutics, Toledo School of Medicine). - CAUTION.

Dishonest druggists sometimes SUBSTITUTE a cheap preparation (made by themselves from ordinary commercial drugs), when "BROMIDIA" is prescribed, and the Physician is disappointed, AND THE LIFE OF THE PATIENT ENDANGERED. Physicians finding ANY SUBSTITUTION will please notify us, as we desire to MAINTAIN OUR REPUTATION and PROTECT THE PROFESSION against DISHONORABLE and DANGEROUS substitution.

"BROMIDIA" is put up in 4, 8 and 16 ounce bottles, and is sold at $8.00, $15.00 and $27.00 per dozen. SAMPLES AND PAMPHLET FREE.
