Dr. JOHN HERBERT CLAIBORNE, of PETERSBURG, VA., ex-President and Honorary Fellow Medical Society of Virginia, in a letter dated September 3, 1892, to Dr. E. C. Laird, Resident Physician at the Buffalo Lithia Springs, says:

"I send by this mail a box of Calculi, passed at various times within the last year by Hon. T. J. Jarratt, our former Mayor, while drinking the BUFFALO LITHIA WATER. They give him but little pain now when passing. I have never critically examined the broken Calculi passed in such quantities from Mr. Jarratt's bladder, but am under the impression that the most of them are magnesian phosphates. There were some specimens, however, which presented the appearance of oxalates, and some, I remember, impressed me specially as being uric acid. I do not pretend to account for the mode of their solution by the BUFFALO LITHIA WATER. There is nothing in its analysis which would warrant such results; but the results are there, and seeing is believing. I can only suppose that in Nature's alembic there has been some subtle solvent evolved, too subtle to be caught by our coarse reagents, which makes this wonderful disintegration. There are many things in heaven and earth not dreamt of in our philosophy," and his is a short creed who only believes what he can prove or explain."

Illustration of the Calculi referred to by Dr. Claiborne. The engraving was made from a photograph, and represents the exact shape of the Calculi. They are four times size of above.

Dr. C. H. DAVIS, of MERIDEN, CONN., in the "New England Medical Monthly" for July, 1890, says :

"Mr. R. L. Roys, of this city, consulted me about two years ago for Stone in the Bladder, from which he had been suffering for a number of years. On my suggestion he commenced the use of BUFFALO LITHIA WATER, as he was very much opposed to operative interference. After using the Water for a short time disintegration to a certain extent took place, and large quantities of stone were passed. For several days in succession he passed as much as a teaspoonful of the debris, and at intervals for a considerable period he passed large quantities, and under the continued use of the Water there was a constant passage of Calculi, until he was entirely relieved of his trouble.

The photograph sent herewith is a correct representation, and exact size, of some of the largest specimens of Calculi discharged by Mr. Roys. A chemical and microscopical analysis showed that they are Uric Acid with a trace of the Oxalate of Lime.

Dr. J. T. LE BLANCHARD, Professor Montreal Clinic, SM., SN., V.U., says: "I have used BUFFALO LITHIA WATER in the most obstinate cases of Chronic Inflammation of the Bladder. in Stone of the Bladder, in Uric Acid Gravel, with the most efficacious results."

Dr. J. J. MAXFIELD, in "The Prescription" for November, 1891, says:

"A year ago Mr. A., fifty-one years old, consulted me for an old standing and intractable Cystitis. I suggested an exploration, and readily detected a stone. It was a large one, and it was so hard that you could hear the click of the instrument in any part of my office. I advised an operation, but he refused to consent. To palliate, I ordered him to drink one quart of BUFFALO LITHIA WATER every day. This treatment was kept up for nine months, when pus appeared in the urine, and the operation could no longer be delayed. During the time he was under treatment large quatities of debris came away. Some of the pieces were so large that it was only by great effort that they were passed via the urethra. None of these were saved. The day before the operation I examined him again, and the stone did not seem so large nor was the click so pronounced. I operated. grasped the stone, and pulling it away found it was like a mass of putty filled with sand. No part of it was so hard but that it could be crushed with very little effort between the fingers. This cut will illustrate better than I could tell how some of the mass looked. I believe firmly that if I continued the treatment of the BUFFALO LITHIA WATER a few weeks more the stone would have fallen to pieces.

Dr. WILLIAM B. TOWLES, Professor of Anatomy and Materia Medica in the Medical Department of the University of Virginia, says:

"I feel no hesitancy whatever in saying that in Stone in the Bladder, and in all diseases of Uric Acid Diathesis, I know of no remedy at all comparable to BUFFALO LITHIA WATER. Its effects are marked in causing a disappearance of albumen from the urine."

Dr. HENRY M. WILSON, OF BALTIMORE, ex-President Medical and Chirurgical Faculty of Maryland, says:

"My experience in the use of BUFFALO LITHIA WATER has not been large, but it is of such a positive character I do not hesitate to express my preference for it as a diuretic in Urinary Calculi over all other waters that I have ever used."

Manufactured by DAHL & CO., Barmen, Germany.

A new remedy for Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sciatica, Asthma, Influenza (Hay Fever), La Grippe, and applicable in all cases where pain of a neuralgic character is a prominent factor.

QUINALGEN belongs to that exceedingly Interesting group of remedies which chem

ical science has evolved in recent years from Coal products. It is a de

rivative of the Quinoline group and is, therefore, an analogue of Phenacetine and Antifebrine, but has marked and highly important advantages over them, they being derived from the Benzine group. All derivatives of the Benzine ring have decidedly depressing effects upon the heart's action and the nerve centers.

QUINALGEN is almost entirely free from these disadvantages, while its physiological

effects are similar to Quinoline, to which group it belongs. Its therapeutic action is, therefore, restorative and tonic to the nervous system instead of depressing and exhausting.

QUINALGEN was discovered and brought to the notice of the profession by Dr. Vis, of

Germany, three years ago. It was first tried for Fever, Neuralgia, etc., in the University of Freiburg by Dr. Baumler. Subsequently Dr. Goliner, of Erfurt. Dr. Treupel. of Breslau, and many other distinguished German practitioners gave it extensive trial and the consensus of their opinion is, that Quinalgen marks a decided advance in the therapeutic agents that are available in the treatment of Fever, Headache, Neuralgia, the pain of Rheumatism, Sciatica, etc. S. A. RICKARD, of Saratoga Springs, N. Y., is the Sole Agent for the U. S. and will be glad to send IIterature with full directions for use, to any physician on application.
