FORMULA.-LISTERINE is the essential Antiseptic constituent of Thyme, Eucalyptus, Baptisia, Gaultheria, and Mentha Arvensis in combination. Each fluid drachm also contains two grains of refined and purified Benzo-boracic Acid. DOSE.-One teaspoonful three or more times a day (as indicated). As a local application to ulcers, wounds and abscesses, or as a gargle, mouth-wash, inhalant or injection, it can be used ad libitum, diluted as desired. The therapeutic value of LISTERINE has been thoroughly established by the most conservative and scientific element of the profession. THE FOLLOWING REPRINTS SENT, POSTPAID, UPON REQUEST: A LABORATORY STUDY OF LISTERINE: (Being a tabular exhibit of its action upon fermentative processes.) By FRANK M. DEEMS, M. D., Ph.

Amer. Academy of Medicine, Boston, Mass. Also, clinical notes from the following and many other well-known physicians; Hydrangea Lambert FORMULA. Each fluid drachm of "Lithiated Hydrangea," represents thirty grs. of Fresh Hydrangea, and three grs. of chemically pure Benzo-Salicylate of Lithia. Prepared by our improved process of osmosis, it is invariably of definite and uniform therapeutic strength, and hence can be depended upon in clinical practice. DOSE.-One or two teaspoonfuls four times a day. HYDRANGEA has been used with great satisfaction in calculous complaints, and abnormal conditions of the Kidneys, and reports have been published by Drs. Atlee, Horsley, Monkur, Butler and others, all confirming its value in Kidney and Bladder diseases. As the utility of LITHIA in Kidney diseases and of the uric acid diathesis is well-known to the profession, the advantages of Hydrangea and Lithia combined in a form acceptable to the stomach, must be apparent to every intelligent physician, and, therefore, he is at once prepared to recognize the value of LITHIATED HYDRANGEA in GRAVEL, GOUT, BRIGHT'S DISEASE, DIABETES, VESICAL IRRITATION, and all diseases in which a Kidney alterative or an anti-lithic remedy is indicated. A sample bottle furnished upon application. LAMBERT & CO., MANUFACTURING CHEMISTS. 307 LOCUST STREET, ST. LOUIS, MO. NUTRITION FOR THE SICK. The Writer believes he rightly interprets the prevailing medical sentiment, in increasing the potency instead of diminishing the price of his PEPSINE, as may be seen by reference to Adv't page 21, April No. and page 20 of May No. of the "Medical Brief." One failure in results would more than offset any reduction of Price. HAWLEY'S LIEBIG'S FOOD. The illustrious Baron Von Liebig, aware of the physiological inability of infants, in the early months of life to digest and assimilate starch, proposed the admixture of equal parts of wheaten flour and malted barley as a substitute for the ordinary pap upon which many infants were fed, in the absence or insufficiency of the mother's milk; hence this combination came to bear his name. The rationale is as follows: Starch to be available as food must first be transformed into glucose, which is accomplished in natural digestion by the action of the salivary and pancreatic fluids. In early infancy these functions are undeveloped, consequently the starch, which constitutes the major part of the cereal grains, is unavailable to the infant. Malted barley contains a principle, diastase, analogous to the saliva and one constituent of the pancreatic juice, and by admixture with flour performs for it the same office as would be done in natural digestion, thus making the entire grain available as food. The following table exhibits the relative amount of nitrogenous and starchy material in the more common grains used for infant feeding. Nitrogenous matter. Starch. Rye. Barley. Oats. Maize. Rice. Wheat. Average. 12.50 12.96 14.39 12.50 7.55 18.03 64.65 66.43 60.59 67.55 88.65 66.81 A glance at this table shows how large a portion of these grains is carbonaceous or starcy. But the proportion in most of them is the normal one required in human food, the carbonaceous portion being mainly employed in generating energy and producing animal heat. If it be true, as physiologists are now agreed, that infants are incapable of digesting starch in any material quantity, it is obvious how largely they are deprived of a most im portant element of food when fed upon cereal preparations which have not been previously made to conform to their digestive capacity. Besides being in itself a sufficient aliment it possesses the quality of rendering milk more digesti ble, and by its use infants may be fed upon milk, which otherwise they are unable to digest. The following testimony to the value of Hawley's Food, is from a paper on the value of foods as determined by the microscope by Dr. Ephraim Cutler, published in the Am. Med. Weekly: "Hawley's Leibig's Food, wheat gluten cells, barley gluten cells, barley tegument, wheat starch cooked, granular masses not polarizing light. A good food, and its claims are sustained." Samples of this food, together with a pamphlet more fully exhibiting its value and uses, will be sent on application. Physicians are cautioned against the use of Haw. ley's Food in tin cans. It is nearly sure to be worthless. J. S. HAWLEY, M. D., Hawley's Saccharated Pepsine is the most active preparation of its kind in the market; is free from mucus or other impurities; is easily soluble, and ten grains will digest from 1,300 to 1,400 grains coagulated albumen. [For "an examination into the comparative value of Saccharated and Pure Pepsines" see adv't pages 21 and 20 of April and May numbers of this journal.] Hawley's Aromatized Pepsine has the same digestive strength as the Saccharated, and is supplied with directions for use. It is agreeably flavored and made acceptable to the taste for administration to children and persons of sensitive palate. Hawley's Wine of Pepsine is made with care, and in a manner to insure the permanent solution of the Pepsine in the wine. The Pepsine contained in one ounce will digest from 300 to 400 grains of coagulated albumen. Hawley's Gastro Pancreatic Beef Peptone is valuable for its high diffusibility, being already digested, and for containing all the elements of the beef, including the interstitial fat (which is pancreatized) in their normal proportions. By using it, a superior beef tea can be almost instantly made, and the large waste in the ordinary method of making beef tea saved. Hawley's Saccharated Wheat Phosphoids consists of the soluble salts (mostly phosphoidal) of the wheaten grain. It is an efficient remedy in all diseases produced by malassimilation, or in which mal-assimilation is a factor. as chronic eruptive diseases in children, rachitis and scrofulous enlargement of glands, etc. Hawley's Diabetic Flour is the wellknown Camplin flour, or prepared bran. It is prac tically free from starch, and is the only one which makes any reasonable pproach to it. It affords to the diabetic a substitute for bread. Hawley's Liebig's Food for Infants and Invalids is the well-known and well-tried combination of malt and wheaten flour proposed by the illustrious Liebig. It is made strictly after his method, and furnishes a food free from starch, suited to infants and cases of amylaceus dyspepsia. It has all the value in nutrition possessed by Extract of Malt. Hawley's Flour of Beef is lean fresh beef desiccated to dryness and ground to a flour. It contains all the elements of the beef in natural proportion, and is in a form to be taken without mastication. It is cheaper than fresh beef for making beef tea. Hawley's Pancreatic Emulsion of Fat is a preparation superior to cod liver oil for all purposes for which that remedy is used. It is miscible in water or milk, is agreeable to take, and has the advantage of being a solid and not a fluid fat. Hawley's Liquor Pancreaticus is an active preparation of pancreatine and rapidly digests milk, liquifies gruels and pap, and emulsifles cod liver oil. Being in liquid form, is ready for instant use. Physicians are respectfully invited to give them a fair trial and to send for circulars and free samples of any article they may wish especially to investigate. The above Preparations are for sale by the principal Wholesale Druggists in New York, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester, Troy, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Boston, Providence, Burlington, Vt., Portland, BaltiCleveland, St. Paul, Indianapolis, Chicago and St. Louis. more, Please Mention MEDICAL BRIEF.
