The next day, however, as the effects of the morphine passed away, vomiting recurred. Considering the fact that a simple alcoholic irritation of the stomach would yield to the prescribed treatment, I concluded that it could be but the swallowed secretions of the sublingual gland which caused this persistent irritation. First, I considered a washing of the stomach, but as previously, I met with the opposition of patient. As a matter of course, there was only an internal medication left for consideration. I decided therefore, on a simple innocuous antisepticglycozone-with which I had quite a satisfactory experience in several cases of ptomaine poisoning. I prescribed it in repeated tablespoonful doses with rapid and gratifying results. Notwithstanding the liberal use of antiseptic washes and sprays, the wound in the mouth was healing but very slowly.-The Medical Summary. GLYCO-THYMOLINE IN PHTHISIS AND TUBERCULAR INVASION OF THE SUB-MAXILLARY AND CERVICAL GLANDS. "It seems to have been thoroughly established that in most cases of tubercular infection has been through the mouth and naso-pharyı x. This being the case, a protection of those parts from invasion is of the first consequence. In a recent note on this subject, Professor Arnulphy, of Paris, says that in addition to other methods to protect those persons-as physicians, relatives, nurses, etc., who are compelled to come in contact with consumptive patients, the frequent daily use of GLYCO-THYMOLINE as a mouth, throat and nasal wash, will ensure a degree of immunity from infection, that reduces the danger to a minimum. To those already suffering from the disease, Glyco-Thymoline has proved of great value as a means of keeping the mouth, nose and cervical glands in an aseptic condition with a marked alleviation of cough and irritation. The action of the solution of Glyco-Thymoline on the mucous membranes is soothing and distinctly exosmotic, increasing the capillary circulation."-New York Medical Journal. COCA A CARDIAC TONIC. Coca has been advocated by a number of observers to tone up the heart muscle. It may be employed as Vin Mariani in conjunction with the above-mentioned remedies or used alone. A unique action of Coca which renders it peculiarly fitted to the role of a heart tonic is the depurative influence it has upon the blood stream, thus enabling the muscular structure to take up the pabulum which shall give it strength. Coca is useful following a course of digitalis, and in irritable heart there is probably no better remedy. The Coca Leaf, November, 1903. As an antiferment, to correct disorders of digestion, and to counteract the intestinal putrefactive processes in the summer diarrheas of children, LISTERINE possesses great advantage over other antiseptics in that it may be administered freely, being non-toxic, non-irritant and non-escharotic; furthermore its general compatibility with syrups, elixirs and other standard remedies of the Materia Medica, renders it an acceptable and efficient agent in the treatment of diseases produced by the fermentation of food, the decomposition of organic matter, the endo-development of fetid gases. and the presence or attack of low forms of microzoic life. An interesting pamphlet relating to the treatment of diseases of this character may be had upon application to the manufacturers of LISTERINE. LAMBERT PHARMACAL CO., SAINT LOUIS. CONTENTS.

LOUIS The officers of the faculty of the Homeopathic Medical College of Missouri desire to call your attention to the following facts in connection with the above named institution: It is the oldest college of its kind in the southwest. Its teaching facilities are first class. Its reputation for good and thorough work is nowhere excelled. It gives a graded course extending over four years of study. It qualifies students for State Board examinations. Men and women are admitted on equal terms. The session of 1904-05 begins about the middle of Sept. This is World's Fair year, and students will be given opportunity to visit the Fair without interfering with their studies.

(HENSEL) The object to be attained in the administration of iron is, first, an increase in the number and quality of red blood corpuscles, and second, an improvement in the general health which follows the increased oxygen-carrying power of the red cells. How to obtain the desirable end quickly and pleasantly with the least inconvenience to the patient has been the constant aim of the physician. While there are numerous preparations of iron, they are practically all open to the same objection; that is, their astringent effect, though varying, of course, in degree. They also produce more or less constipation, headache and derangement of the digestive organs and injure the teeth more or less. All this may be avoided by using this Physiological Tonicum, which contains the ferric and ferrous oxides in the same proportion in which they are found in the hæmoglobin of the healthy human blood. Its prolonged use does not give rise to any unpleasant symptoms, it being a truly physiological food of the blood. 4 Ounce Bottle, 50 cts. 12 Ounce Bottle, $1.25 Prepared solely by BOERICKE & TAFEL.
