MISCELLANY.

Kelly and Noble's Gynecology and Abdominal Surgery is unique in that it combines in one work a com-
plete presentation of both medical and surgical gynecology, together with a full treatise on abdominal
surgery. There is a chapter of over one hundred pages devoted entirely to medical and office gynecology,
prepared especially for the general practitioner and treated from his point of view. Heretofore the prac-
titioner was compelled to search through an entire book in order to obtain the information desired; but
here in one chapter has been gathered all the information so much needed by him in his daily practice.
In that part of the work treating of abdominal surgery (as distinct from gynecology), besides a full de-
scription of the usual abdominal operations, there are elaborate chapters on operations during pregnancy,
operations before puberty, and conservative operations upon the appendages - subjects usually treated of only
in monographs. There is also a chapter on complications of operations, considering every complication
following operations which can occur. Special attention has been given to modern technic, describing
and illustrating the various steps of the operations in a way never before attempted. Indeed, the 650
original illustrations are truly magnificent, being the work of Mr. Hermann Becker and Mr. Max Brödel,
of the Johns Hopkins Hospital.

Edited by HowARD A. KELLY, M.D., Professor of Gynecologic Surgery in Johns Hopkins University; and CHARLES P. NOBLE, M.D., Clinical
Professor of Gynecology in the Woman's Medical College, Philadelphia. Two imperial octavos of 900 pages each, containing 650 original illustrations,
some in colors.

EMOLEO

A combination of Liquid Albolene with McK. & R. Compound
Stearate of Zinc, making a semi-fluid preparation.

It is used with excellent effect in the treatment of diseases
affecting the upper air passages. It is non-irritating and
readily diffuses over mucous surfaces. Particularly useful in
the treatment of nasal affections in children, as it clings to
abraded surfaces, prolonging the medication.

Valentine's Meat-Juice

Where a powerful and energetic nourishment is required in a concentrated, rapidly assimilated form, easily administered and readily tolerated, when other forms of food fail, Valentine's Meat-Juice is employed by well known practitioners throughout the world.

Pneumonia and Phthisis.

Frank Van Fleet, M. D., Professor of Diseases of the Eye; Post-Graduate Medical School and Hospital, New York: "My personal experience with Valentine's Meat-Juice has been very satisfactory. I was unfortunate enough to contract double Pneumonia last winter, which was followed by double Pleurisy and Empyema. During several weeks of unconsciousness I was nourished (after milk had begun to disagree with me) with Valentine's Meat-Juice exclusively."

Dr. Andres Martinez Vargas, Madrid, Spain, Honorary President of the Congress for the study of Tuberculosis, Paris: "I have used Valentine's Meat-Juice for the sick in my hospital, with most satisfactory results. I recommend it for its ease of absorption and entire organic assimilation and for its alimentary richness."

FRANK'S UROLOGICAL CLINIC (Berl. Klin. Wochenschr., July 30, 1906) says regarding

ARHOVIN

(chemical compound of diphenylamine and thymyl-benzoic acid)

"It is positive that Arhovin in gonorrhea is much more valuable than the balsams by its sedative and anesthetizing influence on the inflamed urinary mucosa. One important disadvantage of all the balsams, and even the best East Indian sandalwood oil, is their irritant effect on the gastro-intestinal tract and the kidneys. On the other hand, I have given Arhovin for long periods in a very considerable number of cases and have never heard the slightest complaint or noticed the least symptom of any irritant action. Indeed, the patients themselves remarked that while they had always had digestive disturbances from the balsams, Arhovin never caused any trouble at all."

"Like the other authors, I found that in gonorrheal and other bacterial infections of the urinary passages, the irritation incidental thereto was either very greatly diminished or entirely suppressed, especially in inflammatory processes of the posterior urethra and the vesical neck."

Further favorable reports have been published by Hernfeld, Ganz, Erdoes, Burchard and Schlockow, Piorkowski, Rudnik, Porosz, Maramaldi and Mosca, Riess, Goldmann, Strauss, Meissner, Steiner, Manasse, Reiner, Brings, Weger, Blech, Day and others.

In 1-oz. vials, boxes of 50 capsules, boxes of 12 urethral bougies, and boxes of 12 vaginal globules.

Dose: Up to 12 capsules, 8 bougies or 8 globules daily; by injection, which is painless and analgesic, up to 5% olive oil solution.
