Surgical Diagnosis

Dr. Eisendrath presents his subject from the clinical point of view. He has grouped the injuries and
diseases in the manner in which the surgeon or general practitioner considers them in examining the
patient for the purpose of making a diagnosis. The importance of differentiating simulating affections
has been constantly borne in mind and every assistance given along these lines. Special effort, too, has
been exerted to furnish the means of making a correct diagnosis in the early stages of the condition.
The Journal of the American Medical Association says: "Not only is the reader told what to do, but
an attempt is made to show him just how to do it." Indeed, Dr. Eisendrath, being a strong advocate of
the teaching of surgery by the education of the eyes, has had specially made a large number of superb
illustrations. These 482 pictures are not only artistic but useful, for each one gives practical assistance in
diagnosing the condition under consideration.

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.

Supplied plain or in combination with acetanilide, eucalyptol,
menthol, boric and carbolic acids, tannic acid and iodized.
SAMPLES AND LITERATURE ON APPLICATION

Valentine's Meat-Juice

In Typhoid Fever, when a highly Concentrated, Energetic Nutrient is demanded, Easy of Assimilation and Acceptable to the most Irritable Stomach, Valentine's Meat-Juice is Recommended by Eminent Medical Practitioners throughout the world.

C. J. G. Finn, M. D., Ex-President Queen's County New York Medical Society: "I have prescribed Valentine's Meat-Juice for years in my practice and have always found it more than satisfactory in all cases of great Debility and Exhaustion, it proving especially superior in cases of Typhoid Fever and Gastric Diseases."

Dr. F. Walzer, Late Physician Marie Hilf Hospital, Aachen, Germany: "During the great Typhus Fever epidemic, I had opportunities in the Marie Hilf Hospital at Aachen, to make an extensive use of Valentine's Meat-Juice, both during the disease and its convalescence and to convince myself of the value of the preparation. In every case Valentine's Meat-Juice was well digested and greatly relished and the nutrition was considerably improved by it."

Physicians are invited to send for brochures containing clinical reports.

GENTLEMEN: Sample of "Uriseptin" manufactured by the Gardner-Barada Chemical Co., Chicago, Ill., was found to contain:

The total Solids consist of the sugars and extracts of corn silk and couch grass. The couch grass and com silk extracts were determined by taste and smell in comparison with authentic samples of same products. The Lithium Oxide and Formaldehyde are in combination in the Uriseptin, and together represent 26.77 grains per liquid oz.

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.
