Listerine is an efficient, non-toxic antiseptic of accurately determined and uniform antiseptic power, prepared in a form convenient for immediate use. Composed of volatile and non-volatile substances, Listerine is a balsamic antiseptic, refreshing in its application, lasting in its effect. Listerine is particularly useful in the treatment of abnormal conditions of the mucosa, and admirably suited for a wash, gargle or douche in catarrhal conditions of the nose and throat. In proper dilution, Listerine may be freely and continuously used without prejudicial effect, either by injection or spray, in all the natural cavities of the body. Administered internally, Listerine is promptly effective in arresting the excessive fermentation of the contents of the stomach. In the treatment of summer complaints of infants and children, Listerine is extensively prescribed in doses of 10 drops to a teaspoonful. In febrile conditions, nothing is comparable to Listerine as a mouth wash; two or three drachms to four ounces of water.

St. John Roosa, the eminent New York specialist, one day received a letter from a man living in a remote part of Connecticut. The writer explained that he was afflicted with growing deafness, and that a summer visitor to the neighborhood had suggested his going to New York and consulting Dr. Roosa. After describing the symptoms, the man ended by asking what was the probable nature of his trouble. Dr. Roosa suspected from the tone of the communication that the case was not for him, but he, of course, replied, advising the man to consult a local physician, and adding in answer to his direct inquiry: "From what you say, I should presume that your difficulty arises from a diseased condition of the middle ear." Two days later the doctor found this among his mail: Dear Sir: Yours received and contents noted. What do you take me for-a ring-streaked willipus-wallipus? You talk about my middle ear; how many ears do you think I've got-three? or five? My ears may be pretty long, and I guess they are, or I wouldn't be writing to no New York doctor for advice, but I'd have you to understand that I've got just two of them, and no more, like other folks, so there ain't no middle one. Don't get fresh. - The Medical Brief. MY DOCTOR. The following recently appeared in the October number of the Homœopathic Recorder, dedicated to Dr. J. D.
