Listerine is specially commendable in weak solution as a mouth wash and gargle for aphthous sores or a fungus condition of the gums and bad breath, and for certain forms of indigestion (those accompanied by disagreeable eructations) a few drops of Listerine in water is a particularly grateful and excellent remedy. Dr. J. H. Goethe, of Varnville, S. C., says: "Celerina was given to a patient suffering from nervous prostration, the result of habitual alcoholic excess. Under its administration his system was not only completely renovated, but he was enabled to overcome the habit of indulging in strong drink, and is now enjoying good health. I regard Celerina of great value to the profession.' Dr. J. J. Kelley, of Argentine, Kan., writes: "I have prescribed Dioviburnia and Neurosine in female neurosis with results entirely satisfactory. I shall continue to use these two products in combination in all cases indicated." Dr. N. D. Chapman, after detailing a number of cases of more or less severe burns, concludes relative to the great help he received from Unguentine as follows: Easy to apply; great relief to patient, it acting as a sedative, cooling and non-irritating; it does not dry out so quickly, and consequently the dressings do not have to be changed so often; rapid cicatrizant; when used prevents granulation tissues; it is non-toxic; patients recover more quick'y under the Unguentine treatment than any other; prevents the necessity of skin grafting in a good many cases by hastening the reparative processes; it is much more convenient, neat and practicable. Terraline is the name of a tasteless preparation of petroleum for internal use. It is winning a reputation as a restorative in the same line as cod-liver oil.

Carbonol Colorless Green Root only is used. The menstruum is pure, inodorous spirit, whereby the peculiar, rich aroma and characteristic virtues of the fresh drug are extracted and retained unimpaired. It is a perfect representative of the drug, and to avoid the danger of over doses in some cases, and the uncertainty of attending the use of inert and imperfect remedies in others, Tinct. Gelsemium-Merrell, only should be dispensed. It is an agent of wonderfully active therapeutic power, possessing a well-defined and uniform standard of medicinal strength. An organic compound of Iron representing in a purified and soluble form the albuminate and salts (phosphates) present in the blood. It contains 0.7 per cent. metallic iron in a form that is readily absorbed and highly active. This combination of Iron may be regarded as approximating the natural forms in which the metal is present in the animal system and possesses a marked value in anæmia and chlorosis neurasthenia where prolonged administration of iron is indicated. It is not only free from any tendency to cause digestive disturbances, but is of positive value in these condi tions during convalescence, etc. One part of this syrup represents about fifteen parts of fresh bullock's blood. This preparation consists of Carbonol, a perfectly pure and bland medicinal hydro carbon product in combination with Thymol, Eucalyptol, Menthol, Camphor and Oil Gaultheria. A valuable bland and soothing antiseptic and deodorant, exerting a decidedly beneficial influence on the mucous membranes. Successfully employed as an inhalant in the form of spray in Catarrhal affections of the Nose and Throat. In this preparation the Chlorides of Aluminum, Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium are present with the white alkaloid of Hydrastis. This addition is favored by some physicians, and the solution is somewhat more astringent than our regular Colorless Hydrastis. Recommended for external use only in Gonorrhoea, Leucorrhoea, Nasal Catarrh and all diseases of the mucous surfaces. As an injection or wash-One part to four or six of water. As a spray-One part to six or eight of water. As an eye wash-One part to twelve of water. As a cleansing agent for the ear-One part to six of water, to which has been added a few drops of creosote. May be added to water or Glycerine without precipitation.

It allays inflammation, reduces fever, quiets the patient and is a great blessing." Peacock's Bromides are excellent in epilepsy, uterine congestion, headaches and convulsions of all kinds. Chionia from chionanthus is a specific as a remedy for biliousness, jaundice, dyspepsia, constipation and all conditions resulting from a torpid liver. Dr. H. N. Potter, of Burlington, Vt., writes: "Sometime ago I was called to see a little boy eight months of age. He had been under a physician's care for sometime, but with no beneficial result. I found the case to be one of hereditary syphilis with a typical eczema eruption affecting the face. Almost every applica tion known to medical science had been tried, among them being preparations of mercury and zinc, which had increased the eruption. The child was in a bad condition constitutionally, and the irritation of his face kept him crying and awake night and day. I tried several preparations, but with hardly any beneficial results. I then sent for a sample box of Resinol, and from the first I noticed a marked improvement. The intense heat of the face was relieved, the irritation stopped and the eruption commenced to disappear. After using Resinol for a very short time, and with the assistance of the constitutional treatment necessary in such cases, the child was relieved of the bad condition in a few weeks. If it will be remembered that the eruptions of syphilis are probably the worst cases to treat successfully, it will be seen that the quick beneficial results from the use of Resinol were wonderful. After years of hospital experience I can say that I never have seen anything that acted so nicely and quickly in the eruptions of syphilis as Resinol."

This journal has an extensive and constantly increasing circulation, is substantially established, and therefore presents to business houses desiring to reach the rank and file of the medical profession throughout the land, a most valuable advertising medium. Entered at Phila. Post Office as second-class matter. THE PHYSICIAN. He must be a man, well rounded, built from the ground up, firmly planted, cultivated, intelligent and truthful. Contact Contact with other natures than his own makes him a big-hearted man, whole souled and sympathetic. Other of his attributes are hope, manly self-reliance and courage, that qualify him to see things as they are without disguise, and to encounter difficulties and discouragements without dismay. His mission is a ministry of love, to bring consolation and hope, as much as No. 12 to administer drugs and perform surgical operations. The feeble sufferer greets his approach with gladness, and his presence acts as a sweet solace, a balm in Gilead, a potent opell to drive away gloomy forebodings. The confident smile, kindly tone and soothing touch inspire and prop up the faltering heart as no other medicament can do. They bring hope, which is sunshine to the despairing soul, confirming our hold upon the confidence of our patient. The physician must be a gentleman in all the term implies, gentle and refined, kind and responsive. Such an one is never greatly injured by the tongue of envy, or by what evil workers may do, because the desire for knowledge and fair-play is so nearly perfect, even in the hearts of the indifferent and evil minded, that rumor's breath leaves no stain or tarnish upon his character. Physicians must not undervalue council and help of others. This is the age of small things, it is also the age of great things. In a day little things become great and great things become small; pigmies get to be giants and giants get to be pigmies. Fickle fortune's wheel, at every revolution, brings joy or sorrow, success or failure, to some one. Such is the uncertain drift of human affairs that truly a man can not know what a day may bring forth, yet he may console himself that there is " a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at |
