Drs. W. L. Galloway and D. M. Gibson, were representatives of the Homeopathic Fraternity of St. Louis, at the Niagara Falls' meeting. These with Drs. W. E. Reily, of Fulton, and W. E. Cramer, of Kansas City, made up the quoto from Missouri.

Dr. C. E. Tennant, of Denver, visited the Fair, and for a time was the guest of Dr. W. E. Jones, of Page Boulevard.

Dr. Geo. Groehegan, together with his wife and family, made a flying visit to St. Louis and the World's Fair recently.

Brother Kraft's article on St. Louis and the recent meeting of the Missouri Institute of Homeopathy, was most excellent, but we are sorry to learn that owing to an infected finger he was unable to write at all for some weeks thereafter.

When visiting the World's Fair, don't fail to see the German Pathological and Boston University exhibits at the Palace of Education.

Dr Elizabeth Lovejoy Sanders H. M. C. 1891, of Devalls Bluff, Ark., spent a number of days in St. Louis attending the Fair. She gave the universal verdict, magnificent, and proposes to return for another visit at an early date.

Dr. D. E. Archer, H. M. C. 1891, and Mrs. Archer, of Burdette, Mo., are "doing" the Fair thoroughly and systematically. The Incubator Baby's on the Pike have claimed the special attention of D. E. A.

Dr. Lizzie Gray Gutherz, after an extended absence has resumed her practice at her office No. 36-Olive St.

Webster's "Obstetrics." This is an entirely new work and forms the latest text-book on Obstetrics. Unusual consideration is given to embryologic and physiologic data of importance in their relation to obstetrics, many of them having been investigated in special research by the author. Many of the illustrations have never before appeared in any textbook, having been made especially for this work.

THE PHYSICIAN AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.

Being human the doctor will want to broaden his mental faculties at an International Exposition in other things than those that pertain to his profession. He comes to the Fair for recreation and enlightenment upon subjects he has not time to study at home. Each individual physician has a pet idea of certain exhibits he wishes to see. They may be medical or more likely not. Hence for anyone to outline a list of interesting objects to be seen would probably omit the very things the individual person would want to see. However the busy doctor who takes a week off from this continuous round of toil will fail to see the very things that would interest him the most, if they are not called to his attention and located so he will not have to waste time hunting for them.

We may therefore be pardoned if we presume to suggest a few very interesting sights for doctors. After registering at the state building we come down full force on the Government building, there a most interesting exhibit of the Public Health and Marine Hospital Service and numerous bacteriological and electrical displays will be seen. In the Palace of Liberal Arts will be found surgical instruments, artificial legs, drugs and chemicals of all descriptions and styles. In Education Palace the German anatomical and pathological exhibit is excellent. In the Palace of Fine

Arts, German section, are two paintings the doctor will appreciate, one "The Hour of Death," the other "The death of the General's Son." In sculpture same section is the physician vaccinating his own child. In the United States section are two large paintings showing surgical operations with and without aseptic procedure. In the Varied Industry your wife will take you to see the wonderful Japan exhibit of vases, etc. In Transportation you will buy an automobile. You cannot fail to visit the Philippine reservation especially about 5:30 P. M. and see the scouts drill. The anthropological exhibit cannot escape your attention. Call again and we will tell you some

more.

If you want a good book on the practice of Medicine, one that is clear, concise and to the point, that embraces the subjects in a single volume, that is written from the standpoint of chemical experience and observation, and that speaks not only of the drug to be given but also of the potency, dose and administration of the same, you should have Joussett's work.

There are many good works on practice in the Homeopathic School. Some on special subjects, some in more than one volume, most thorough and elaborate volumes whose worth cannot be overestimated and we need more.

In Jousetts' work, we have one of ready reference, and concise statements; it will be found of inestimable value to all.

MYSTIC CEREMONIALS AMONG THE CLIFF DWELLERS AT THE WORLD'S FAIR.

The less civilized a people, the more material are the wants which they implore their dieties to supply. Rain, rain, rain on the parched fields of Mokiland in that far-off painted desert of the Colorado in Arizona is, at this time of the year the supplication that is wafted heavenwards by the Moki and Zuni priest descendants of the ancient, now totally extinct Cliff Dwellers. The snake dance, really the rain dance of the miracle-working Zuni priests and medicine men has become famous throughout the Mesa-land of the unknown west. This snake dance, in all its native wizardy is being repeated several times daily, Sundays alone excepted at the Cliff Dwellers concession at the World's greatest Fair in St. Louis. Twenty lithe-limed medicine men, twenty forbiddingly caparisoned priests, an entire Indian orchestra of tom-tom beaters and a full choir of Zuni incantation chanters.

The Cliff Dwellers concession was the first organization at St. Louis to grasp the possibilities of the theatrical as well as the educational side of such a display and their theatre Moki in the midst of their handsome and complete exhibit is daily and nightly thronged by thousands of interested and diverted spectators including all sorts and conditions of men. The strange part of the attendance is found in the presence at all times of Indians from the United States government and other exhibits, drawn thither by the fame and wonderful Shungopavi, chief of the Moki medicine men but greater than that a necromancer, miracle-worker and sleight-of-hand performer absolutely the best among the North American Indians yet brought within the confines of civilization. The ordinary mountebank stand

abashed at the skill and dexterity of this son of the Mesa whose keen eyes have a fascination all their own. The Cliff Dwellers exhibit is first and foremost an ethnological exhibit. It reveals in all its parts the intention of its projectors to afford World's Fair visitors the fullest opportunity to study the manners, customs and tribal relations of the earth's strangest people in the United States. These Zuni's, Mokis and Puebles direct descendants of the famous, now extinct Cliff Dwellers of the unknown west, have, since time immemorial been a peaceful people. They have lived an isolated existence and are to-day the best exponents of the fine old adage, “Peace hath her victories no less renowned than war." Their ways are gentle and the elements so mixed in them that nature might rise up and say to all the world: These are men.

MYSTERIOUS ASIA ON THE PIKE.

Mr. Akoun, who is a Parisian by birth, has the advantage of former experiences at no less than twelve previous Expositions, where his marvelous successes were continuously repeated, and as a successful caterer to an amusement loving public his fame spread far and wide.

The general plan embraces an interesting representation of Asiatic countries, including reproductions of the historic and educational buildings of India, the Mahal Temple of Agra, the Rain Sipri of Almiadabad, street reproductions from historical Delhi, Calcutta with its picturesqus bungalows and decorated buildings, grill workers, with their actual material, such as mosaic and ceramic panels, carved in inlaid wood.

In connection with this special amusement feature is a beautiful and conspicuous building erected in the original Oriental style of architecture, known as the Oriental Theater, where performers from the Oriental countries appear. The entire production cost over $200,000, and there are upwards of 750 people, including men, women and children.

GOOD AND SEASONABLE.

A word about some remedial preparations which the busy practitioner will find always useful, particularly at this season of the year, will no doubt be of interest. First we will mention the old time tried Antikamnia & Salol tablet, so useful during the hot weather, when even the "grown folks" load up their stomachs with the first offerings of the season. Hare says: "Salol renders the intestinal canal antiseptic and is the most valued drug in intestinal affections." The anodyne properties of antikamnia in connection. with salol render this tablet very useful in dysentery, indigestion, cholera morbus, diarrhoea, colic, and all conditions due to intestinal fermentation. Then the "triple alliance" remedy so well and favorably known by its self explanatory title, namely: "Laxative Antikamnia & Quinine Tablets." reduce fever, quiet pain and at the same time administer a gentle toniclaxative, is to accomplish a great deal with a single tablet. Among the many diseases and affections which call for such a combination we might mention coryza, coughs and summer colds, chills and fever, biliousness, dengue and malaria with their general discomfort and great debility.

To

We cannot overlook our old friend the Antikamnia & Codeine tablet. The efficacy of this tablet in neuroses of the larynx is well known, but do all of our Doctor friends know that it is especially useful in dysmenorrhoea, utero-ovarian pain and pain in general caused by suppressed or irregular menses? This tablet controls the pain of these disorders in the shortest time and by the most natural and economic method. The synergetic action of these drugs is ideal, for not only are their sedative and analgesic properties unsurpassed, but they are followed by no unpleasant after-effects.

A UNIQUE ACCIDENT.

BY ALEX. RIXA, M. D.. New York City.

on

H. C., about 40 years of age, weighing about 200 pounds, came home late in the night in a "festive condition." Inserting his key in the door lock, his foot slipped and he fell with his face, respectively his mouth, the edge of the key, severing the tissues below the lower gum and the sublingual gland.

When I arrived at the house he was vomiting profusely. However, when the vomiting ceased for a while, I noticed blood oozing from behind the lower lip, intermixed with a yellowish, somewhat frothy liquid pouring out in gushes. I endeavored to stop the flow, but did not succeed owing to the repeated vomiting spells..

At last I succeeded to inject hypodermically a half a grain of morphine, in consequence of which a cessation of vomiting followed shortly.

After a careful examination of the injured parts, I concluded it could be but the sublingual gland which emits the secretions, and was not a little surprised at the enormous quantity, as, to my knowledge, this gland is very small and weighs only one dram. I intended to put some stitches in the tear, but patient protested against it in his semi-intoxicated condition. I had to resort therefore to the application of strips of adhesive plaster to the surfacs of the lower lip, thus compressing the severed parts.

As a matter of fact, this procedure stopped the evacuation and I left patient in quite a comfortable condition.

The beneficial action of the morphine, however, was of short duration, as I was summoned again about two hours after, with the frightened remark that patient is suffocating.

When I arrived, I found patient hanging down his head from the bed, gasping for breath, as some food masses could not pass through the mouth, owing to the compressed chin. I tore off the bandage, and with the contents of the stomach the little gland commenced to flow with renewed vigor. By this time, the man having sobered somewhat, after some arguments he permitted me to put in the necessary sutures.

Notwithstanding the internal administration of some stomachia the irritation continued, vomiting would not cease. I was compelled to inject hypodermically another dose of morphine, which after some minutes stopped that wretched retching.
