The Safest, Most Efficient, and Convenient Means

for Producing Local Anaesthesia.

Cocaine Discoids consist of pure cocaine hydrochlorate, without admixture of foreign material to impair its activity, and in quantities accurately determined by weight. Owing to their mode of manufacture, not being compressed, they dissolve readily in one drop of water Instead of keeping on hand ready-made solutions, which are liable to deteriorate, the doctor has now at his disposal a means of obtaining

Freshly Prepared Cocaine Solutions of Any Desired Strength

at a moment's notice, and the quantity of the drug employed during anæsthesia is always known, and not a matter of conjecture.

Cocaine Discoids are indicated in all conditions demanding the use of this drug, as a local anesthetic, as in the treatment of diseases of the eyes, nose and throat, in genera surgery, and in dentistry, especially for cataphoresis.

HOW

Gibbs Glycerine Suppositories

ARE MADE.

We first make a Hollow Shell and Cap of Pure Cocoa Butter only -Fig. 1. We then fill this Cocoa Butter shell with Pure Glycerine, and seal it with the cap, thus making a firm, smooth suppository, containing nothing but Pure Cocoa Butter and Pure Glycerine, the Glycerine being in liquid form-Fig. 2. This Cocoa Butter shell melts at the temperature of the body and liberates the Glycerine, allowing it to come in direct contact with the mucous membrane. The Glycerine, being a liquid, is free to distribute itself over the mucous membrane, stimulating the surfaces and soon producing an easy movement of the bowels. The Cocoa Butter is softening and lubricating, and prevents the griping that sometimes follows the use of Glycerine in the rectum. Two of our suppositories, separated by a wafer, are packed in a glass vial-Fig. 3. Six of these vials, twelve suppositories, are packed in a wooden box, secure against breakage or deterioration.

"It Props the Heart Nicely."

[ocr errors]

A physician speaks in this unique way of one of the therapeutic properties of Kola-Cardinette. The stimulant effect of this preparation upon the cardiac muscle is well marked. Unlike many heart stimulants, however, Kola-Cardinette does not induce a subsequent reactionary depression. While it is a prompt and reliable stimulant it is also a permanent systemic and nerve tonic. The Cereal Phosphates with which the Kola is combined, serve to fortify the muscular and nervous system and in this "ay retain the heart-strength which the Kola inluces."
