COPY B. <\ ^> Copyright, igoi, BY JOHN WYSTH & BROTHER, INCORPORATED, Philadelphia, Pa. PREFACE. The busy practitioner must need possess a great power of recollection to meet, in the perplexities and anxieties of study and diagnosis, that other most important exaction — i.e., the selection of the most suitable remedy or remedies adapted to the case in hand ; therefore, convenient resource and suggestion are here offered. The general therapeutic intention of the many physicians who have originated the formulae on the ensuing pages will, of course, be obvious to the observant practitioner, though a suggestion as to the dose most efficient in certain indications and phases of disease may prove acceptable. We have therefore sought to make the approximation of dose as nearly a safe guide to judgment as is possible, although much of this discretion will devolve upon the attending physician at the bedside of the patient. It is our hope, however, that in compiling this schedule of doses, with the comprehensive catalogue of remedies here presented, we may have rendered a signal and valued service to the medical profession at large. We have published from time to time many reprints from prominent journals, having reference to the therapy of some preparations, and which would no doubt prove of considerable interest; but, owing to lack of space, these articles have been omitted from this work, although, when requested, we will always be glad to send copies of such papers to physicians for perusal. In closing this brief reference to the "Epitome," we presume to reiterate our claim for the high standard and character of our preparations, and we confidently solicit a continuance of that favor and preference which the medical profession has so long accorded the products of our labo- ratories. ELIXIRS. Elixir ACETANILID COMP. Each fluidounce contains Acetanilid 10 grains Salol h grains Phenacetine 8 grains Caffeine Citrate U grains Acid Tartaric , 2 grains Sodium Bicarbonate 12 grains This formula combines the nerve-sedative and analgesic properties of Acetanilid, Salol and Phenacetine ; the diuretic and stimulating proper- ties of the Caffeine render the combination valuable in neuralgic and other forms of headache. As an adjunct in the treatment of various infectious and contagious fevers its value is established : it soothes the irritated nerves, lessens the fever and allays pain. Dose. — For adults, one to two teaspoonfuls at intervals of two to four hours. Elixir ALOIN, BELLADONNA AND STRYCHNINE Each fluidrachm contains Aloin 1 grain Extract Belladonna Leaves 1-8 grain Strychnine 1-60 grain This combination, which has proven so very popular in pill form, has been prepared in the form of an Elixir, made palatable with saccharine, to meet the requirements of one of the largest hospitals for the insane in America, where it is used very successfully in treating such patients who need a mild laxative or cathartic and will not take a pill. As there are mdny delicately constituted people, as well as children, who have the same aversion to medicine in pill form, we were induced to present this Elixir to the physician for use in such cases, and are pleased to note it has been favorably accepted. Dose. — For adults, one to two fiuidrachms upon retiring. Elixir ALOIN, BELLADONNA AND STRYCHNINE COMP. Each fluidrachm contains Aloin 1-8 grain Extract Belladonna Leaves 5-8 minim Strychnine 1-80 grain Podophyllin 1-8 grain While this preparation possesses all the desirable therapeutic prop- erties of the Elixir Aloin, Belladonna and Strychnine described above, it contains, in addition, the decided hepatic-stimulating property of the Podophyllin, which enhances its value as a laxative and cathartic. Dose. — For adults, one to two fiuidrachms. I 2 Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. Elixir AMMONIUM VALERIANATE. Each ftuidrachm contains 2 grains Ammonium Valerianate.

Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful, to be repeated every two or three hours, or more frequently if not relieved. Elixir ANTI-ASTHMATIC (Hare).

Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls every three or four hours, as advised by the attending physician. Elixir ANTI-DYSPEPTIC. (SEE EUXIR PEPSIN AND THYMOI, COMP. ) Elixir BEEF, MILK AND GLUTEN (Peptonized). The albuminous principles of the Beef, Milk and Wheat have been separated from the less nutritious and less digestible parts — the fibrin, casein and starch, respectively, and have been carefully treated with pepsin, converting them into a thoroughly predigested condition ready for immediate assimilation. The rationale of the chemistry of this Elixir will strongly appeal to the practitioner desiring a thoroughly predigested, highly nutritious food and tonic to prescribe in cases of enfeebled digestion, wasting diseases, or to assist in the building up and strengthening of a patient after a long and continuous illness. The tax upon the digestive organs to assimilate this food is almost infinitesimal, since the perfectly predigested condition in which the three ingredients are presented leaves practically nothing to be done, thereby the nutritive, tonic and stimulating effect being almost immediate. Dose. — For an adult, one to two tablespoonfuls four or five times a day. It may be further increased or given more frequently upon the advice of the attending physician. Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 3 Elixir BEEF, MILK AND GLUTEN (Peptonized). IN COMBINATION WITH CREASOTE AND GUAIACOL. Each finidounce contains Beechwood Creosote 4 minims Guaiacol 2 minims The albuminous principles of the Beef, Milk and Wheat have been separated from the less nutritious and less digestible parts— the fibrin, casein and starch, respectively, and have been carefully treated with pepsin, converting them into a thoroughly predigested condition ready for immediate assimilation. Creasote and Guaiacol have been associated with the above Elixir, pre- senting antiseptic and autitubercular properties, which are often desira- ble to obtain in conjunction with the nourishing, toning and stimulating effect of the preparation. The combination is readily accepted and assimilated without any degree of nausea or eructations. Dose. — For an adult, one to two tablespoonfuls four or five times a day. It may be further increased or given more frequently upon the advice of the attending physician. Elixir BISMUTH. Each fluidractim contains % grains Bismuth and Ammonium Citrate.

Elixir BISMUTH AND STRYCHNINE. Each ftuidrachm contains Bismuth and Ammonium Citrate % grains Strychnine 1-60 grain This combines the bland effects of a soluble salt of Bismuth with the nerve-tonic results of Strychnine upon the stomach and bowels, relieving pain and overcoming the depression that often follows spas- modic affections of these organs.

This preparation possesses decided alterative and stimulating proper- ties and exerts its influence upon practically every tissue in the human economy. It causes a beneficial change in the altered nutrition of a diseased tissue or organ, promoting rapid resolution to the normal con- dition. It stimulates the lymphatic and glandular systems, increasing their absorptive powers to a decided degree, and produces a mild sedative action on the nerve centres, but is not a cardiac depressant. The Elixir is indicated in all forms of strumous diathesis and syphilis, particularly scrofulous glandular enlargements and indurations, also in the several varieties of eruptive, dry and scaly cutaneous affections. Its stimulating action on the mucous surfaces indicates its employment in the various acute and chronic inflammations of the respiratory tract, affording relief in bronchitis, naso-pharyngeal diseases and pathological processes in the lung, especially of a tuberculous origin. In neuralgia, acute or chronic rheumatism, necrotic processes of the osseous system, as well as all conditions requiring an alterative and stimulant, this preparation will prove a valuable remedy. Dose. — For adults, one to two teaspoonfuls three times a day. Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 5 Elixir CALISAYA (Cinchona). Each fiuidrachm contains the equivalent in the alkaloids of Quinine and Cinchonim of 5 grains of Calisaya Bark. The grateful and invigorating in fluence of this preparation is peculiarly adapted to persons enfeebled by sickness or debility.

The combined salts of the Cinchona Bark are used, assuring its thorough action as an antiperiodic. The taste of the Tincture of Iron Chloride being very styptic, a small quantity of acidulated Citrate of Potassium is added, ren- dering it agreeable, obviating its action upon the teeth and lessening liability to induce diarrhoea. Dose. — For adults, one dessertspoonful three times a day. For chil- dren, give one-half to one teaspoonful. Elixir CASCARA SAGRADA, AROMATIC. Each fluidrachm contains Cascara Bark 15 grains Aromatics q- s. The deserved popularity of this drug, together with the various methods adopted to render it palatable and less nauseous and bitter without injuring the therapeutical value, has induced us to offer to the profession our "Aromatic Elixir," which embraces all the essential prin- ciples in an unchanged condition. Our direct source of supply is the Cali- fornia districts, where the bark is carefully gathered and thoroughly cured before shipping, and after arriving at our laboratories it is kept three years under proper storage conditions, insuring a better effect than is possible with Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. J much of the bark which is sold for manufacturing purposes ; hence we can unhesitatingly claim that we are offering the various preparations of this bark — viz. , our Fluid Extract and Elixir — as possessing in the highest degree the full remedial attributes, which may be classified therapeuti- cally as combining those of a cathartic and laxative with that of a valuable stomachic bitter. It is useful in cases of habitual constipation, relieving hemorrhoidal and other affections of the pelvic organs. It also improves the appetite, imparts tone to the digestive organs, and, by increasing the secretions of the gastro-intestinal canal, forms a very valuable laxative, which effect seems to popularize the use of this drug. Dose. — One dessertspoonful three times a day, before meals. Elixir CATNEP AND FENNEL. This Elixir is free from Bromides, Chloral, Opium, Paregoric or other Narcotics This Elixir is offered as a palatable compound of the time-honored and reliable carminatives, Catnep and Fennel, prepared from the freshly- gathered herbs, and owing also to its absolute simplicity and uniformity. Being entirely free from narcotics, anodynes ana bromides, the Elixir may be administered freely with safety, and no anxiety aroused with regard to any dangerous, disagreeable or injurious effects ; physicians and mothers will therefore recognize and appreciate it as an ideal preparation. With infants and young children, in cases of flatulency, colic or hys- teria, the effect following the use of the Elixir is most pronounced, affording speedy relief, soothing and calming the nerves, inducing a quiet sleep, from which the child awakens refreshed and bright, which is quite in contrast to the awakening from a sleep induced by paregoric or other opiates, which leave the child dull, listless and fretful, with the added disadvantage of lessening the desire for food, often inducing nausea. The readiness with which the Elixir may be administered, or the simple process of preparation for extreme cases of colic, commends it to the practitioner, and more especially to the mother and nurse, as a remedy which should always be on hand. This Elixir may be used just as it is, and in violent attacks of colic or during continued fretfulness while teething, may be diluted with hot water which will assist the rapidity of its action. It is, in fact, during the teething stage, a panacea for indi- gestion, acid or deranged stomach. The use of this Elixir will neither lead to a desire nor the necessity for its continued administration, a necessity quickly induced by prepara- tions containing anodynes and opiates. Many infants and children who are brought up on artificial foods retain such with difficulty, causing nausea and vomiting immediately after feeding or eating, and the Elixir in such cases has been found to be most effective ; and by giving small doses before or after feeding, the nauseating effect of the food is entirely destroyed. Primarily, the Elixir was devised for infants and children, but will afford speedy relief to adults, particularly the aged and infirm, suffering from indigestion, acid stomach and flatulent dyspepsia. Dose. — For an infant, one to four weeks old, suffering from flatulent colic, five to eight drops in a teaspoonful of warm water, every fifteen to twenty minutes until quieted or relieved by eructation, dose to be increased by one or two drops for each week exceeding four weeks in age. For acid stomach, nausea or simply as a corrective, the dose is the same, given at intervals of one-half to one hour. For an adult, one dessertspoonful, repeated within half an hour if necessary, and may be increased to a tablespoonful in cases of acute colic. 8 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. Elixir CATHARTIC COMP., IMPROVED Each lablespoonful contains Tinnevelly Senna GO grains Podophyllin 1-16 grain Butternut 15 grains Rochelle Salts ..." 10 grains Sodium Bicarbonate 5 grains Aromatics 15 grains Tamarinds . . U> grains Physicians will find this cathartic to supply a want long felt by them. It is effective in small doses, acts without griping, does not occasion nausea, and is less apt to create irritation and congestion than any of the usual cathartics administered. The mild but certain action of this cathartic makes it especially valuable as a remedy for habitual constipa- tion, as it will be found to act promptly, with a tendency to lessen the disposition to costiveness, instead of increasing it, as is so often the case with drastic purgatives. Dose. — As a cathartic, adults should take a tablespoonful at night on going to bed, or before breakfast in the morning, unless directed other- wise by the physician. For constipation, where a gentle but regular action is desired, it will be well to take, at first, one or two teaspoonfuls, as it is impossible to lay down any fixed rules for persons suffering from habitual costiveness. Children, from four to twelve years of age, should take one to two teaspoonfuls, when an efficient cathartic is desired. The above directions, naturally, will often be modified by the attending physician, as he alone can judge intelligently of the susceptibilities of the patient. Elixir CELERY AND BLACK HAW COMP. Each fiuidrachm represents Celery Seeds 5 grains Kola Nuts 5 grains Coca Leaves 5 grains Black Haw 5 grains Aromatics q. s. The physician will find in this preparation a very valuable and prac- tical combination. It can be used with much success in the treatment of impotency, spermatorrhoea, loss of nerve power, neuralgia, inebriety, hysteria and in general debilitated condition of the system. Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls three times a day. Elixir CHLORAL COMP. SEDATIVE — ANODYNE Each fiuidrachm contains Chloral Hydrate 15 grains Potassium Bromide 15 grains Extract Henbane 1-8 grain Extract Indian Hemp, Foreign 1-8 grain This Elixir is similar in constituents and therapeutic effect to our Elixir Chloral and Potassium Comp., but, on account of the increased strength, is much more active and produces more prompt responses. We reiterate the notes on Elixir Chloral and Potassium Comp. Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 9 This Elixir will at once commend itself to physicians for administra- tion in all cases of sleeplessness, nervous irritability, neuralgic headache, convulsions, mania, etc., and will prove an invaluable adjunct in the treatment of fevers, relieving the restlessness and delirium in such cases without in any way interfering with the natural secretions. Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful, to be repeated at the direction of the physician. Elixir CHLORAL AND POTASSIUM COMP. Each fluidounce contains Chloral Hydrate 1 drachm Potassium Bromide 2 scruples Extract Indian Hemp, Foreign 1 grain Extract Henbane 1 grain This Elixir will at once commend itself to physicians for administra- tion in all cases of sleeplessness, nervous irritability, neuralgic headache, convulsions, mania, etc., and will prove an invaluable adjunct in the treatment of fevers, relieving the restlessness and delirium in such cases without in any way interfering with the natural secretions. Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful, to be repeated at the direction of the physician. Elixir CINCHONA FERRATED (Red Bark), (IRON AND PERUVIAN BARK) Each fluidrachm contains Iron and Ammonium Citrate 2 grains Red Peruvian Bark 5 grains This preparation embodies the cordial, tonic and antiperiodic prop- erties of its constituents, so modified by the combination as to avoid the objectionable effects of their distinct action. Its constant and continued use by our leading practitioners, and its often-attested good results, warrant our decided endorsement of its merits. Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful three times a day, immediately before or after meals. Elixir COCA LEAVES. Each fluidounce contains SO grains Coca Leaves.' Our Elixir and Fluid Extract of Coca are prepared from the formula of the late Dr. Sam uei. Jackson, Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine in the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. S. WEIR MITCHELL, who experimented with it very largely for many years. They used it with great success as a stimulant and tonic, finding it did not induce the after-relaxation, stomach or brain disturbances so often the case with tonic stimulants. We use an alkaline solution in exhausting the drug, with only sufficient alcohol to prevent fermentation. Dose. — For adults, one dessertspoonful, which may be increased to one tablespoonful. Elixir CORDIAL AROMATIC. An agreeable and convenient vehicle for administering nauseous drugs. It is a colorless Elixir, and has the delicious taste and odor of ripe oranges. We also prepare the same Elixir colored red. to Kindly specify " WyeTh's " when prescribing. Elixir CRAMP BARK COMP. Each fluidrachm represents Cramp Bark 12 grains Scullcap S grains Wild Yam 6 grains Cinnamon 5 grains Cloves 5 grains Nutmeg 2 grains The popularity among physicians of the above formula, or modifica- tions thereof, is something phenomenal, if we are to judge of its efficacy by the rapidly increasing demand. Its therapeutic virtues doubtless depend largely upon the presence of Viburnum Opulus, which contains a volatile substance similar to, if not identical with, Valerianic Acid, which has long been known to possess valuable antispasmodic properties. In combination with the other designated ingredients, its action is that of a carminative, anodyne and tonic. As a Uterine Tonic, the utility of Elixir Cramp Bark Comp. is now firmly established, and for irregular, painful or suppressed menstruation it is claimed to be almost a specific. It is also used extensively for the correction of menorrhagia, uterine and ovarian neuralgias, and it is said its faithful employment will greatly obviate the necessity for the performance of formidable surgical opera- tions, after the failure of other remedies and combinations. Dose. — For adults, one-half to two teaspoonfuls in a wineglassful of hot water or milk, sweetened, every fifteen minutes, until relief is obtained, or jn such quantities and at such intervals as the attending physician may direct. It has been found by some practitioners to give very gratifying results when administered in a hot gin punch on retiring. Elixir DAMIANA, PHOSPHORUS AND NUX VOMICA. Each fluidrachm contains Damiana 7 1-2 grains Nux Vomica . 1 grain Phosphorus 1-200 grain This preparation combines the peculiar tonic and aphrodisiac proper- ties of Damiana with the muscular stimulus of Nux Vomica and the powerful nervine qualities of Phosphorus. Its action is not rapid, but gradual and sustained. It is indicated in all cases of impotency, sperma- torrhcea, etc. , where other means have been tried without success. Dose. — For adults, one dessertspoonful immediately after meals. Elixir of the DIGESTIVE FERMENTS. NOW USTED IN "SPECIALTIES" UNDER TITLE OF LIQUENZYME. Elixir DIGITALIN AND STRYCHNINE COMP. Each fluidrachm contains Digitalin 1-100 grain Nitroglycerine 1-100 grain Strychnine Sulphate 1-50 grain Physiologically, this preparation is a powerful stimulant to the motor and vaso-motor centres of the cord, and exerts a stimulating and tonic effect upon the cardiac muscle ; its stimulus upon the heart and vessel Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. II walls is both quick in action and prolonged in effect. It produces a strong, full pulse, but slower in rate. The diuretic property of the preparation is pronounced, and produces its effect by controlling the vascular supply of the system. It is strongly indicated in all cases of valvular disease, espe- cially where the hypertrophy is not compensatory in action ; also in car- diac dilatation where there is a condition of relative weakness of the heart muscle. In sudden cardiac exhaustion from any cause, angina pectoris, and in any condition where a decided heart-stimulating effect is desired, it will be found a most valuable remedy. Dose. — For an adult, one teaspoonful, according to the direction of the attending physician. Elixir DIOSCOREA COMP. Each ftuidounce contains Fl.Ext. Dioscorea Villosa (Wild Yam) US minims Fl. Ext. Aletris Formosa (Unicorn Root) IS minims Ft. Ext. Viburnum Prunifolium (Black Haw) . . , US minims Fl.Ext. Viburnum Opulus (Cramp Bark) US minims Fl. Ext. Mitchella Repens (Squaw Vine) US minims Fl. Ext. Hslonias Dioica (False Unicorn Root) . . US minims Fl. Ext. Caulophyllum Thalictroides (Blue Cohosh) . US minims Fl. Ext. Scutellaria Lateriflora (Scullcap) 45 minims Clinical experience will demonstrate the great value of this Elixir in affording relief from pain of the female genital tract. It is a powerful antispasmodic and uterine tonic sedative, does not derange the stomach, but stimulates a normal tonic effect on this organ. It is indicated in the treatment of dysmeuorrhcea, either congestive or neuralgic. In spasm and colic of the uterus and bowels it will at once afford relief by virtue of its marked astringent and nervine properties. For the pain and irritation incident to confinement it will be found of value ; especially will it effectually aid in preventing abortion and miscarriage. Dose. — For an adult, from a dessertspoonful to a tablespoonful three times a day, after meals. In urgent cases, where there is much pain, dose may be given every hour or two, always in hot water. Elixir DIURETIC. (buchu, juniper and potassium acetate.) Each ftuidounce contains Buchu 45 grains Juniper Berries ' 45 grains Potass. Acetate 10 grains This combination represents, medicinally, the stimulant, diuretic and diaphoretic value of Buchu and Juniper Berries, blended with the calmative and deobstruent effect of the alkaline salt. Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls three times a day. Elixir GENTIAN. One-half strength oft Tincture Gentian Comp., U.S. P. As a stomachic and general tonic there is none better than Gentian ; and in this Elixir, which is one-half the strength of Tincture Gentian Comp., U. S. P., the aromatics are so blended as to overcome any nause- ating results. Dose. — One to four fluidrachms. 12 Kindly specify ".Wyeth's" when prescribing. Elixir GENTIAN WITH TINCTURE IRON CHOLRIDE. Each jinidrachm contains 5 minims of Tincture Iron Chloride, U. S. P. In this preparation, by the addition of a small quantity of acidulated Citrate of Potash, the peculiarly disagreeable and styptic taste of Chloride of Iron .is avoided. Physicians will find in this preparation the most agreeable and effective mode of administering this pure bitter tonic with the most prized of all the salts of Iron, but hitherto often inadmissible, owing to the difficulty of inducing nervous and fastidious patients to take it on account of styptic taste, effect upon the teeth, as well as the occasional diarrhcea it induces, etc. This preparation may be given to children and delicate females with great benefit, and with but little fear of disagreeing with the most delicate stomach. The combination of Quinine with Tincture Iron Chloride is invalu- able in the many diseases induced by malarial influences. Medical men will find this Elixir a most desirable vehicle for the administration of that efficient nerve-tonic and antiperiodic in conjunction with this form of Iron, the Elixir masking the bitterness, fre.eing it from objectionable taste and proving less apt to disagree with patients whose ailments render them peculiarly sensitive to the influence of this prescription as usually compounded. Four grains of Quinine Sulphate will dissolve in one ounce of the Elixir, without the addition of any acid, the solution being beautifully clear. If a larger quantity be prescribed, the usual amount of acid per grain must be used. Dose. — For adults, one dessertspoonful. For children, one-half to one teaspoonful. Elixir GLYCEROPHOSPHATES COMP. Each Jiuidounce contains Calcium Glycerophosphate 8 grains Sodium Glycerophosphate 16 grains Iron Glycerophosphate 1 IS grains Manganese Glycerophosphate 1 grain Quinine Glycerophosphate 1-2 grain Strychnine Glycerophosphate 1-16 grain While possessing all the desirable features mentioned as applying to the Elixir Glycerophosphates of Soda and Lime, this Elixir also contains the blood-forming properties of Iron and Manganese with the general tonic and reconstructant virtues of Quinine and Strychnine. Dose. — For adults, one to two teaspoonfuls three times a day, before meals. GLYCEROPHOSPHATES COMP.— No Sugar. (SEE "specialties," page 234) Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 13 Elixir GLYCEROPHOSPHATES OF SODA AND LIME. Each ftuidounce contains Glycerophosphate of Soda 8 grains Glycerophosphate of Lime k grains The therapeutic value of the Glycerophosphates has been clearly demonstrated by clinical tests conducted by the most eminent specialists at home and abroad, and Dr. Albert Robin and other specialists in diseases of the nervous system use them to the exclusion of all other forms of phosphorus. The Glycerophosphates are rapidly absorbed by the stomach and provide the economy with phosphorus in its most rational form — i. e. , as organic or physiological phosphorus— the form in which it actually exists in the tissues, nerves and bones. They give powerful stimulus to the functions of nutrition, restore enfeebled vitality, and are especially indi- cated in the treatment of neurasthenia, chlorosis, phosphatic albuminuria, cachexia, ataxia, gastric hyperasthenia, acute sciatica, etc. Infants and children debilitated through nervous waste or malnutri- tion, suffering from rachitis, marasmus, etc., may be satisfactorily treated with this preparation, as it exerts a decided action in preventing excessive metabolism and greatly stimulates the vital processes. Most beneficial results have followed the administration of these salts when given continuously for from six to twelve months to patients suffer- ing from the many ailments incident to advanced age, as they supply the waste of elementary matter in the human economy. The restoration to health must be gradual and aided by the general regimen and directions of the physician. In the Elixir Glycerophosphates of Soda and Lime we have combined only chemically pure salts of the highest standard, properly proportioned, in an especially prepared menstruum to hold them in perfect solution, thus inducing immediate absorption and complete assimilation. Dose. — For adults, one to two dessertspoonfuls, in water, three times a day, before meals. Descriptive literature relating to this preparation furnished upon application. Elixir GLYCERO-TONIC COMP. Each one-half Jluidounce contains Glycerine 80 minims Sherry Wine SO minims Gentian Root 10 grains Extract Taraxacum IS grains Acid Phosphoric, diluted 12 minims Carminatives q. s. This preparation, in the form of a regular prescription, has been used for a number of years by many physiciaus in the treatment of such cases which require a general tonic — acid tonic, diuretic or laxative tonic — also in cases of nervous prostration, melancholia, etc. Dose. — For adults, two teaspoonfuls to a tablespoon ful, in a little water, before meals, or after meals when preferred. Children, one-half to one teaspoonful. 14 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. Elixir GUARANA. Each fluidounce represents 96 grains of Guarana Guarana is used with much benefit in cases of sick and nervous head- ache, neuralgia, diarrhoea, gastralgia, etc. The effect is almost immediate in all cases of headache, from what- ever cause it may arise ; but it is more especially beneficial in those pro- duced by over-excitement to the nervous system. The usual mode of administration has been in powder ; but the FHxir will be found not only more agreeable but much more efficacious. Dose. — For headache, one tablespoonful for an adult, to be repeated in an hour if the first does not give relief; for diarrhoea, one dessert- spoonful morning and evening ; for neuralgia, as a general tonic for nervousness, debility, etc., one dessertspoonful for an adult, three or four times a day. Write for a complete history of Guarana and its therapy. Elixir GUARANA AND CELERY. Each ftuidrachm represents Guarana :....- 9 grains Celery 9 grains The addition of Celery to that of Guarana will greatly increase the therapeutical effects of these remedies in all cases of sick and nervous headache, the Celery acting as a calmative to the nervous system when overworked ; also as a gastric tonic in cases of gastralgia, etc. Dose. — For headache, one to two teaspoonfuls for an adult, to be repeated in an hour if the first does not give relief; for neuralgia, as a general tonic for nervousness, debility, etc., one teaspoonful for an adult, three or four times a day. Elixir HELONIAS ROOT COMP. Each fluidounce represents Milchella Repens (Squaw Vine) 110 grains Viburnum Opulus {Cramp Bark) 28 grains Caulophyllum Tltalictroides (Blue Cohosh) 28 grains Helonias Dioica (False Unicorn Root) 28 grains This preparation is said to be a valuable uterine tonic and anti- spasmodic, and in composition resembles what is known as " Mother's Cordial." Dose. — One to two fluidrachms. Elixir HEROIN. Each flui drachm contains 1-2U grain of Heroin. All affections of the respiratory tract, especially those of a sympto- matic character, are attended with more or less cough. Persistent and protracted, or even in moderate degree, this muscular effort increases the existing irritation or inflamed condition. To allay, soothe, and ulti- mately remove this spasm without antagonizing the effort of nature is the aim and solicitude of the prescriber. There is always a natural and apparently unavoidable recourse to the salts of Opium, and Morphine is the common dependence. But this, whilst it serves the primary object, has its most objectionable sequelae in a suddenly checked expectoration, a general suppression of all the secretions, and certain constitutional reaction. This reaction not only disturbs the nervous centres, but has to Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 15 be carefully guarded to meet an extreme susceptibility or the idiosyn- crasy of toleration. Therefore, we can have no implicit dependence upon Opium. Codeine has been resorted to in the hope of availing of an accredited modified sedative action, but ample experience is recorded to show that this action is in its character uncertain, and in the use of Codeine it is difficult to approximate to a uniformity of dose suited to special indicatipns. Careful research in the utility of new remedies and scientific experi- ment are constantly bringing to the notice of the medical profession some heretofore unknown agent, which, of course, must meet the test of trial, but which is frequently found to possess a sought-for property adapted to special and important use. This may be truly said of the newly presented product "Heroin" (Diacetyl Morphine). Heroin, when given in properly guarded dose, appears to possess the physiological action of increasing the respiratory power and augmenting at the same time the muscular force of expiration. This property attaches great value to Heroin, because, in both the acute and chronic stage of pleuritic inflammation, oppression and dyspncea exist to a distressing extent, as also in the subsidence of acute pneumonia when the air-cells of the lungs are struggling, as it were, to be freed from the infiltrated serum, so that any agent which gives increased physical power in these conditions is a boon to the medical hand and to human suffer- ings. Superadded to this, Heroin also relieves the spasm of cough with- out, as before stated, interfering with the expectoration of which the mucous membrane of the air-passage strives to free itself, and which must be ejected in the progress of cure. The physiological action of Heroin diminishes the restriction of air- breathing, and when given at night it promotes sleep, with a natural and restful tranquility. This Elixir has been prepared so that each teaspoonful will contain a dose of Heroin, while a dessertspoonful contains the maximum dose, making it unnecessary to give larger and bulky doses to obtain the desired therapeutic effect. Bulky doses of sweet liquid preparations frequently derange the process of digestion, causing distress, making their use undesirable. Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls three or four times a day. Elixir HEROIN COMP. Each fluidounce contains Heroin 1-6 gram Ipecac 1 1-3 grain Chloroform 2 grains This preparation possesses all the desirable therapeutic properties of the Elixir Heroin and has, in addition, the sedative and expectorant properties of the chloroform and ipecac. Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls three or four times a day. Elixir HEROIN AND TERPIN HYDRATE. Each fluidrachm contains Heroin l-2kgrain Terpin Hydrate 1 grain When in the course of practice it is expedient to combine a compatible associate with Heroin, it will be most aptly found in the Terebin thine derivitive, "Terpin Hydrate." This, as an expectorant and alterative, affords properties which harmonize happily in effect with Heroin. It 1 6 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. is a modified stimulant in its action, producing no harsh irritation, but reaches directly the mucous surfaces and arouses the inflamed areas to a new regenerative action. This explains the value of the Terebinthinates in all ulcerative disease, or those types which take on rapidly an inflamed character and produce the muco-purulent discharge. It is with a view to afford the prescriber a most efficient meanp to combat the various manifestations of thoracic disease of the upper tract that we have de- signed a combination of these two appropriate remedies under the above title. This Elixir has been prepared so that each teaspoonful will contain a dose of Heroin and Terpin Hydrate, while a dessertspoonful contains the maximum dose, making it unnecessary to give larger and bulky doses to obtain the desired therapeutic effect. Bulky doses of sweet liquid preparations frequently derange the process of digestion, causing distress — making their use undesirable. Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls three or four times a day. Elixir HYDRANGEA AND LITHIUM. Each fluidounce contains Hydrangea ZU) grains Lithium Benzo-Salicylate Si grains This Elixir embodies two of the most valuable remedial agents recog- nized for the treatment of urinary calculus, gout, rheumatism, diabetes and all diseases in which an antilithic remedy is indicated. Dose. — One or two teaspoonfuls four times a day, between meals. Elixir HYDRASTIS (FORTIOR). Each four fluidounces represent Fluid Extract Hydrastis 10 fluidrachms Hydrastis has not been prescribed as extensively as its merits would warrant, principally on account of its very disagreeable, acrid and bitter taste. In the preparation of this Elixir great care was taken to produce an agreeable and palatable product. The popularity and constantly increasing demand for this Elixir is conclusive evidence it is meeting all the requirements demanded and expected of it. Hydrastis has been known as an indigenous remedy of considerable value as a tonic and reconstituent, and as a topical alterant and astrin- gent. Although differing on some minor points, all of the authorities are agreed that Hydrastis stimulates the spinal cord and increases the reflexes. By its effects on the vaso-motor centre it causes a great rise in the blood pressure, and this action is increased by its stimulating effect on the muscular fibre of the arterioles. In the same way it promotes the action of the muscular fibre of the intestine and increases peristalsis, and it also affects the organic muscular fibre of the uterus. By virtue of bitter tonic properties, hydrastis promotes appetite and the digestive powers. As it increases the intestinal movements by stimu- lating the organic muscular fibre, and as the secretions of the mucous membrane are also made more abundant, its effects are somewhat laxa- tive. Rutherford has shown that it has some cholagogue properties, increasing the flow of the bile and stimulating the hepatic functions. These properties, being retained in the Elixir, make it an ideal prepara- tion in the treatment of dyspepsia. Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 17 Hydrastis contains two alkaloids, berberine and hydrastine. Hydras- tine is alone the active constituent of the drug. All of the powers and properties of hydrastis exist in hydrastine. To the presence of this con- stituent is due the actions of the drug on the nervous system of animal and organic life. The most important of the recent observations on the alkaloid is its action on the uterus, and clinically its power to restrain hemorrhage. The alkaloid, Hydrastine , has been shown to have special powers in menorrhagia and metrorrhagia, and other hemorrhages. Hydrastine has consequently become one of the notable remedies in the treatment of uterine congestion and hemorrhages, in congestive dys- menorrhcea. Hydrastine slows the heart and strongly contracts the blood-vessels, actions that explain its power in restraining hemorrhage. It has lately been shown, also, that this agent diminishes the irritability of the brain cortex, and that therapeutically it lessens seizures of a con- vulsive kind. Indeed, it has lately been found to have decided effects in epilepsy and other forms of convulsions. The wide range of usefulness of a palatable and active Elixir of this drug is very apparent to all physicians. Directions. — The Elixir being free from irritant qualities may be given before or after meals. It has indeed the properties of a stomachic tonic, and will promote, rather than impair, appetite and digestion. The dose for ordinary purposes is a dessertspoonful three times a day. In cases of dysmenorrhea, neuralgic or congestive, the administration should begin a few days before the onset of the expected period. In irritable states of the uterus, in threatened abortion, in menorrhagia, etc., it should be given frequently conjoined with rest and other suitable meas- ures. For the varioi 1 ^ reflex nervous affections, due to uterine irritation, in which it is indicated, it should be persistently administered three times a day. When the pains are severe or symptoms acute, the above dose, a dessertspoonful, may be increased to a tablespoonful at the discretion of the patient or advice of the attending physician. Elixir HYDRASTIS (FORTIOR) WITH NUX VOMICA Each fluidrachm represents Hydrastis Canadensis SO grains Tincture Nux Vomica 7 1-2 minims This Elixir combines the many desirable therapeutic properties of the Elixir Hydrastis (Fortior), described above, with the marked tonic and stomachic properties of the Nux Vomica, thus rendering this preparation peculiarly valuable in the treatment of those forms of gastric trouble with which are associated a relaxed condition of the muscular tissue and lack of gastric secretions, as it exerts a decided tonic effect upon the unstriated muscle and increases the quantity of the enzymes by increasing the gastric capillary supply and stimulating the glandular structure. Dose. — For adults, one to two teaspoonfuls, after meals, or as directed by the attending physician. Elixir HYPNOTIC. (SEE euxir chlorai, and potassium comp.) 2 1 8 Kindly specify "WyETh'S" when prescribing. Elixir IRON, ARSENIC AND MERCURY CHLORIDES, AROMATIC. Each fluidrachm contains Iron Proto-Chloride 1-8 grain Arsenic Chloride 1-280 grain Mercury Bichloride 1-128 grain With Calisaya Alkaloids Years of use of these chemicals, separately and combined, have placed them in the catalogue of standard and safe remedial agents in the treat- ment of such diseases as malaria, latent syphilis, anemia, cystitis, chlo- rosis, chronic uterine and pelvic diseases, etc. As the chlorides are combined in this Elixir with the alkaloidal constituents of Calisaya Bark, the alterative and tonic properties are all that could be desired. The bitter tonic properties of the Calisaya Bark prevent any tendency to derangement of the stomach, and the Elixir is of noted value in assist- ing the digestive functions and preventing constipation. Dose. — For an adult, one teaspoonful in water three or four times a day, as directed by the attending physician. Elixir IRON CITRATE, QUININE AND STRYCHNINE. Each fluidrachm contains Iron Citrate 2 grains Quinine 1 grain Strychnine 1-60 grain This preparation is so frequently used with such gratifying results that its value and popularity are well established. The intense bitter taste of the Quinine and Strychnine is here happily avoided and the Elixir will not be found objectionable even to the most sensitive stomach. The salts, being in solution, are much quicker and more uniform in action than when exhibited in pill form. Using pure Alkaloid Quinine and Strychnine, an excess of acid is not necessary, resulting in an Elixir of high therapeutic value and pleasant taste. Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful three times a day. For children, one-quarter to one-half teaspoonful. Elixir IRON, MAGNESIA AND STRYCHNINE SULPHATES. Each fluidrachm cotitains Strychnine Sulphate 1-32 grain Iron Sulphate 2 grains Magnesia Sulphate 10 grains Acid Sulphuric a trace Aromatic Cordial q. s. This Elixir presents an ideal acid tonic, laxative and stimulant. For chronic sluggishness or torpidity of the liver, constipation due to inac- tivity of tone of the lower bowel, malarial condition of the system, a better remedy can hardly be found. It will dissolve and make a clear solution of Quinine Sulphate, thereby giving a valuable antiperiodic and laxative. Dose. — For an adult, one teaspoonful in half a glass of water before each meal and upon retiring, or as the attending physician may direct. Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 19 Elixir IRON PHOSPHATE AND QUININE. Each fluidrachm contains Iron Phosphate 2 grains Quinine 1 grain A valuable tonic and antiperiodic, useful in all cases where a general debility of the system exists. Dose. — One to two fluidrachms. Elixir IRON PHOSPHATE, QUININE AND STRYCHNINE. Each fluidrachm contains Iron Phosphate 2 grains Quinine 1 grain Strychnine 1-60 grain It is many years since we asked the attention of physicians to the above Elixir. It has been very largely prescribed with uniformly satis- factory results, confirming our claims for the advantages of administering this deservedly favorite combination in solution over pill form. Owing to the intensely bitter taste of the solution or the syrup, patients very generally object to them, and many sensitive stomachs reject their administration. Physicians of experience hesitate to prescribe in powder or mass, either Quinine or Strychnine, from the want of prompt action, the frequent passing away from the system, undissolved, and the occasional cumulative action of the Strychnine, when the pills are long retained. While this is a grave objection, often noted in such powerful medicinal agents, it is equally true that solutions of Iron are much more efficient, being assimilated and absorbed with little danger of inducing irritation, as is so often the case when given in pills. By using pure alkaloids of Quinine and Strychnine, the excess of acid is not required, avoiding in this way the development of the bitter taste, enabling us to prepare the Elixir, so that it will be readily taken by children as well as adults. We cannot exaggerate the therapeutic advantages of administering these agents in the form we present it, and feel we have a right to ask medical men to designate our manufacture of this preparation, not only because we first prepared it, but from the fact that physicians can feel every assurance . of the care and exactness ot its manufacture, and that there is one grain of Quinine in each teaspoonful, — a strength not prepared at the price this Elixir is sold by many manufacturers. Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful three times a day. Elixir IRON PYROPHOSPHATE. IRON, WITH PHOSPHORUS AND CAWSAYA. Each fluidrachm represents Calisaya Bark . . . .- 5 grains Iron and Sodium Citro-pyrophosphate 2 grains This preparation is promptly tonic, without being irritating or stimu- lant, combining the effects of Phosphorus and Iron with the cordial and tonic influences of the Cinchonine Elixir. The freedom from all unpleasant taste, and the ease with which this preparation is borne by even the most sensitive stomach, together with its ready assimilation with the food, and consequent rapid absorption, render this combination especially valuable. It is used with benefit in all instances where a nerve tonic is indicated. Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful before or after meals. 20 Kindly specify "Wykth's" whe?i prescribing. Elixir IRON PYROPHOS., QUIN. AND ARSENIC. Each fluidrachm contains Iron Pyrophosphate . . 2 grains Quinine 1 grain Arsenic 1-30 grain Many physicians object to administering the above medicine in pill form, and experience in the more decided action, when given in solution, has induced the preparation of this Elixir, which is an excellent tonic and antiperiodic. Dose. — One teaspoonful. Elixir IRON PYROPHOSPHATE, QUININE AND STRYCHNINE. Each fluidrachm contains Iron Pyrophosphate 2 grains Quinine 1 grain Strychnine 1-60 grain The medicinal effects of this combination are the same as classified under the Elixir Iron Phosphate, Quinine and Strychnine, to which reference is called. Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful three times a day, immediately before or after meals. Elixir KOLA COMP. Each fluidounce represents Kola Nuts {fresh) U8 grains Celery Seeds IS grains Coca Leaves 6k grains The introduction of Kola as an active cerebro-cardiac tonic and stim- ulant was inaugurated some years ago. In conjunction with the invigo- rating action of Coca and the well merited stimulating properties of Celery, it presents a combination which, we think, cannot fail to enlist the attention of the medical profession generally. This preparation is specifically indicated in cases of nervous prostration occasioned by over- excitement and fatigue of mind and body, imparting to the system under extreme physical exertion and strain a vigor and buoyancy that are most marked. Its administration will be found particularly valuable in coun- teracting the distressing consequences of undue indulgence in alcoholic stimulants, smoking or other excesses, relieving the morbid depression which invariably follows, promoting a healthy tone and vigor in the patients' condition. In the treatment of nervous exhaustion, melancholia and atonic dys- pepsia, as well as in various forms of heart disease, asthma, sea-sickness, etc., it will be found to afford great relief. The flattering reports which we have already received regarding its therapeutic action, and the re- markable increase of its use, are sufficient to attest its undoubted merit as well as to justify the claims we make. Dose. — A dessertspoonful every two or three hours, or as may be required according to the condition of the patient ; in cases of extreme prostration, a tablespoonful may be given as the preliminary dose. Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 21 Elixir LAXATIVE. This combination consists of an extract prepared from alco- holized Tinnevelly Senna, Podophyllin, Butternut (fuglans Cinerea), Rochelle Salt, Sodium Bicarbonate, with Aromatics. The field of usefulness for a laxative of this nature is quite large, as it is effective in small doses, does not produce griping, is acceptable to the most delicate stomach, and is less apt to create irritation and congestion than any of the usual laxatives administered. The mild but certain action of this cathartic makes it especially valuable as a remedy for habitual constipation, as it will be found to act promptly, with a ten- dency to lessen the disposition to costiveness, instead of increasing it, as is so often the case with drastic purgatives. Dose. — For an adult, one tablespoonful at night before retiring and another in the morning. Children from four to twelve years of age should take one to two teaspoonfuls. Elixir LIQUORICE COMP. Each fcuidou nee represents Liquorice Root ISO grains Aromatics q. s. An agreeable and efficient vehicle for masking the bitter taste of Quinine, Bromides, Chloral and other disagreeable drugs and chemicals. Elixir LITHIATED STRONTIUM. Each fluidrachm contains Strontium Salicylate 2 grains Strontium Iodide 1 grain Lithium Salicylate 2 grains The above formula will at once commend itself to the busy practitioner for the treatment of subacute and chronic rheumatism, rheumatic gout, etc. The combination is one suggested by an authority of the highest standing, and has in his practice, as well as with many others, been found of extraordinary efficacy in the treatment of acute and chronic rheuma- tism, gout, swelling of the glands and joints, and all the inflammatory conditions due to gastric impoverishment, debility and exhaustion of the nerve centres. Dose. — For an adult, as a preventive to attacks of rheumatism, gout, etc. , one teaspoonful morning and evening ; for regular treatment, while affected with rheumatism, gout or kindred diseases, one teaspoonful four times a day. For the treatment of patients suffering from inflammatory rheumatism or sciatica, two teaspoonfuls three or four times a day, as advised by the attending physician. Elixir MALT AND PEPSIN COMP. Each fluidrachm represents Malted Barley Grain 10 grains Soluble Pepsin {high test) 1 grain The decided amylolytic and proteolytic actions of this Elixir strongly indicate its employment in the treatment of the varied types of gastric and intestinal indigestion. It is especially valuable where there is lack of proper salivary digestion, thus interfering with starch conversion. 22 Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. Elixir Malt and Pepsin Comp. not only acts upon the ingested food, con- verting it into soluble and assimilable forms, but also stimulates a flow of the normal gastric enzymes. The value of this Elixir is apparent, as an aid to digestion, in the various infectious fevers and convalescence from any wasting disease. Dose. — For an adult, one teaspoonful before each meal. For a child, fifteen to thirty drops. Elixir MANACA AND SALICYLATES. Each jiuidounce contains Manaca 80 grains Sodium Salicylate 64 grains Potassium Salicylate 32 grains Lithium Salicylate 8 grains This combination is especially valuable in the treatment of rheuma- tism, gout, lumbago and other pains of the muscles. It is a powerful solvent of uric acid ; thus it is admirably adapted to cases of gout, in which the strongest indication is to prevent the formation of insoluble salts of. uric acid and their deposition in the kidneys, bladder or joints, and to favor the solution of such salts when already formed and deposited in the joints and ligamentous tissue of gouty patients. The decided antiseptic and antipyretic properties of the salicylates render them very effective in the treatment of rheumatic seizures, as there will ensue a reduction of the fever, elimination of the causative factor, at which time there will be a corresponding relief from pain. Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls. Elixir NUX VOMICA AND IGNATIA COMP. Ten minims of the Elixir contain Tinct. Nux Vomica 1 minim Tinct. Ignatia Amara 1 minim Tinct. Cinchona U minims Tinct. Matricaria 1 minim Tinct. Gentian 1-3 minim Tinct. Calumba 1-2 minim Tinct. Phosphorus, C.P. ............. 1-300 grain Aromatics 3 minims All the drugs in this Elixir bear a close relation to each other, being stimulating nerve tonics and bitter tonics. These, in combination with the free phosphorus present, make an ideal remedy in the treatment of such diseases as sick and nervous headaches, vertigo, general debility, nervous prostration, paralysis, weakness, loss of appetite, dyspepsia, con- stipation and jaundice; neurasthenia, nervous dyspepsia, indigestion, locomotor ataxia, impotence, loss of vital fluids through excesses or other- wise, debility of old age, mental strain and overwork, and in the treat- ment of mental and nervous diseases. This Elixir should not be administered or dispensed except by the advice or prescription of the attending physician. Dose. — Five to ten drops in two tablespoonfuls of water.

Dose.— For an adult one teaspoonful three times a day. Elixir PEPSIN, BISMUTH AND STRYCHNINE. Each fluidrachm contains Pepsin, Saccharated 5 grains Bismuth and Ammonium Citrate 1 grain Strychnine 1-60 grain This combination has been employed with very great success in dys- pepsia, gastalgia, general debility of the system and in all the numerous disorders dependent upon want of tone and vigor of the stomach and digestive organs. Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls. ^4 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. Elixir PEPSIN LACTATED. PEPSIN POWDER COMP.

Each fluidrachm represents twelve grains of the combined fer- ments, active and inactive, of the entire digestive tract, in the proportion in which they are found in the system. In the treatment of such cases of indigestion (weak and enfeebled condition of the digestive organs) this Elixir is admirably suited. It assists at each stage of digestion, since it is a solution of the combined ferments, active and inactive, of the entire digestive tract, in the propor- tion in which they are found in the system. The Elixir is pleasantly aromatized with carminatives, which tend to tone and invigorate the natural secretion of enzymes. Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls after each meal. Increase the dose to a tablespoonful if necessary. Elixir PEPSIN, PANCREATIN AND BISMUTH.

EUXIR ANTI-DYSPEPTIC. Each dessertspoonful contains Pepsin ' 1 grain Pancreatin $ grains Cascara Sagrada 1 grain Ipecac 1-5 grain Strychnine 1-60 grain Antiseptic Solution SO minims This preparation, the formula of which was suggested to us by an eminent specialist, has proved, after an extended, exhaustive and varied experience, to be of such merit and value in the treatment of the various forms of dyspepsia and other gastric troubles, that we feel warranted in bringing it more prominently to the attention of the medical profession at large, feeling confident our representations will be more than con- firmed in their hands. It will be found peculiarly efficacious in those derangements attended with flatulence, acid fermentation, eructation superinduced by eating rich food, pastry, starchy vegetables, excess in drinking spirituous liquors, and excessive smoking. It will prove equally valuable in almost every condition of weak and impaired or imperfect digestive powers, either due to catarrh of the mucous coat of the stomach or in those symptoms characterized by sensations of distress and uneasiness during digestion, usually termed nervous dyspepsia. Dose. — For an adult one to two dessertspoonfuls after each meal or when feeling oppressed, much depending upon the severity or frequency of the attacks. Elixir PERUVIAN BARK AND IRON. Each fluidrachm represents Peruvian Bark 5 grains Iron Pyrophosphate 2 grains Aromaiics a. s. This preparation is sometimes called Elixir of the Pyrophosphate of Iron, and is one of the most efficient nerve tonics, combining the effects of Phosphorus and Iron with the cordial and tonic influences of the Cinchona Elixir. Without being irritating or stimulant, it excites the appetite, strengthens the nerve power, and neutralizes the tendency to malarial influences. The freedom from all unpleasant taste, and the ease with which this preparation is borne by even the most sensitive stomachs, together with its ready assimilation with the food, and consequent rapid absorption, render this combination especially valuable. It is used with benefit in all instances where a nerve tonic is indicated, after typhoid and malarial fevers, and is especially useful in the debility and weakness of females and children. Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful before or after each meal. For children, one-half teaspoonful as often. Kindly specify "Wyeth'S" when prescribing. 27 Elixir of the PHOSPHATES AND CALISAYA. Each tablespoonful contains Peruvian Bark 7 M grains Iron Phosphate 1 grain Lime Phosphate 2 grains Sodium Phosphate 1-2 grain With a slight excess of Acid Phosphoric. This elegant preparation has the great advantage of combining the general tonic properties of Peruvian Bark (a medicine which has perhaps stood the test of time more satisfactorily than any other) with the special vir- tues of the Phosphates of Lime, Iron and Sodium. These latter remedies address themselves more efficiently to the stimulation and strengthening of the nervous system, which invariably suffers in conditions of debility. Not only theoretically, but experimentally, the Phosphates are found to be assimilated and to supply to the brain and spinal cords elements which are needed for the due performances of their functions, and the want of which is made manifest by many of the symptoms of wasting diseases. They are here combined with the Calisaya in a form which admits of their administration for any desired length of time, without offending the stomach, a quality which gives this preparation great value in many instances of defective nutrition. Dose. — For adults, one tablespoonful, in water, immediately after eating. For children, one to two teaspoonfuls. Elixir PHOSPHORUS (Free). Each fluidrachm contains 1-100 grain of Free Phosphorus. This Elixir is absolutely reliable, non-irritating and pleasant to the taste. Each teaspoonful contains one one-hundredth grain of free Phos- phorus, held in perfect solution, and of assured stability. This article has been used for many years by some of the leading physicians of Philadel- phia, and their results have been of the most satisfactory character. It may be given in combination with other preparations, as, for example, with our Elixir Iron, Quinine and Strychnine, with the Tincture of Nux Vomica, etc. It would be superfluous for us to enlarge here upon the remedial value of Phosphorus in cases of nervous exhaustion or impaired nutrition of the brain from whatever cause ; in hysteria, neuralgia, atonic dyspepsia, chorea, bronchocele, etc., as well as in many forms of syphilitic and other cutaneous disorders. Dose. — For an adult, one teaspoonful, gradually increased to two teaspoonfuls, three times a day, plain or with sugar. Elixir POPPY AROMATIC. Each fluidounce is equal in anodyne effect to one grain Morphine. This Elixir is a pleasant, aromatic, slightly stimulating narcotic and anodyne mixture. It allays irritation or pain, produces sleep and quickly checks excessive secretions. It is strongly indicated in teething of infants, gastritis, gastro- enteritis of children and adults, and in any condition requiring an agreeable sedative. Dose. — For an adult, one-half to one teaspoonful, as the indications warrant ; for children and infants the dose should be reduced proportion- ately to their age, strength and condition. 28 Kindly specify " WyETh's " when prescribing. Elixir POTASSIUM BROMIDE. Each jffuidrachm contains 10 grains Potassium Bromide. This Elixir is an agreeable and elegant form of administering this highly-prized alterative and nerve sedative. The objectionable saline taste is completely masked, and the Bromide will be found less apt to produce nausea and derangement of the digestive organs. Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls. Elixir QUININE AND STRYCHNINE. Each fluidrachm contains Quinine 1 grain Strychnine 1-60 grain In cases where the use of Iron is contraindicated this Elixir, as a tonic in cases of general debility, will be found invaluable. Dose. — One teaspoonful three times a day. Elixir RED GUM COMP. 3JUXIR EUCALYPTUS ROSTRATA COMP. Each fluidounce contains Red Gum 15 grains Witch Hazel 71-2 grains Guarana 5 grains Cinnamon 5 grains Opium 1 grain In cofnbination with Aromatic Antiseptic Oils. This preparation, which is very agreeable to the taste, has attracted the favorable attention of the medical profession on account of its marked efficiency in the therapy of intestinal catarrhs, chronic diarrhoea, dysenteric conditions, choleriform diarrhoeas (with marked tenesmus and watery stools), the microbic diarrhoea of infancy, fermentative diarrhoeas of all ages, the functional intestinal and gastro-intestinal disorders inci- dent to over-indulgence, during the summer months, in iced drinks, fruits, etc. As will be noted, the formula consists of a rational combination of carefully selected drugs with astringent, antiseptic, anodyne, tonic and carminative properties, synergists to the basic constituent Red Gum. Red Gum, which constitutes the basis of this preparation, is the exu- dation from the bark of the Eucalyptus Rostrata, a variety of Eucalyptus growing chiefly in Australia and Southern California. The medicinal virtues of this tree are said on good authority to excel those of other forms of Eucalyptus ; and the gum that exudes from its bark would seem a priori to be richer in astringent and antiseptic prop- erties than the oils distilled from eucalyptus leaves, on which, hitherto, medical men have been obliged to place reliance. That such is the case was asserted by Sir Ronald Martin, who originally introduced Red Gum into European practice, and his views have since been amply supported by experience. Red Gum, in fact, has been shown to possess the most valuable antiseptic, astringent and styptic virtues, combined with a taste by no means disagreeable, and free from the acerbity of Kino, Krameria, and other vegetable astringents. Kindly specify " WyeTh'S " when prescribing. 29 Eucalyptus, or Red Gum, is a powerful astringent, antiperiodic, anti- septic and germicide. In therapeutics, these properties give it a wide range of utility. It is, without doubt, the most valuable vegetable astrin- gent yet discovered. Witch Hazel, which is well known for its anodyne and healing prop- erties, also for its tonic action on the blood vessels, and its haemostatic efficacy, is contained in this preparation ; its efficiency in checking hemorrhage depending on its action in contracting the arteries, and thus lessening the flow of blood through them. Opium, which is also incor- porated, but in minute quantities, has a similar and more powerful action on the muscular mechanism, governing hemorrhages from the intestines, in which cases Witch Hazel is often used. The union of these two drugs constitutes, therefore, an efficient haemostatic and astringent anodyne. Guarana and Cinnamon are both employed in this preparation, Cin- namon for the sake of the pronounced antiseptic tonic and carminative ef- fects and agreeable taste. Guarana, which is a drug of more importance, as it contains tannic acid in greater proportion, is serviceable in com- pleting the astringent action of a combination of remedies intended to overcome morbid conditions of the gastro-intestinal canal. Guarana, besides, is a cardiac stimulant and nerve tonic. It contains an active principle identical with Caffeine, with practically the same action on the heart, circulation and nervous system. On the intestines, Guarana has been found to exert effects similar to those of Krameria, but is preferable, owing to its bitter properties ; it controls a tendency to headache. The anodyne effect of this preparation is due to the proportion of Opium it contains, a proportion not sufficient to exercise a narcotic action, but sufficient to act in an analgesic manner. In small doses and suitably prescribed, opium conduces to bodily and mental activity by stimulating the appetite and digestion in certain cases of dyspepsia and by increasing peristaltic action. The amount contained in this Elixir is calculated to have a purely anodyne effect. The value of the antiseptic oils incorporated in this preparation can- not be too highly lauded ; they are the same as employed in our well- known Solution Thymol Comp. (Antiseptic Solution), and are extremely valuable as intestinal antiseptics and anti-ferments. Directions. — To counteract the harmful effect of climatic or dietetic changes this Elixir will be found especially beneficial, and can be ad- ministered to an adult in doses ranging from one teaspoonful to a table- spoonful every two or three hours until relief is obtained, or in such quantities and at such intervals as the attending physician may direct. The same quantities and frequency of administration should be employed in combating or preventing the attacks of temporary (or as it is fre- quently called) summer diarrhoea, chronic diarrhoea, dysenteric condi- tions, etc. Elixir RHUBARB AND MAGNESIUM. Each fluidrachni represents W grains Comp. Powder of Rhubarb, U. S. P. A mild laxative and antacid, useful in diseases of the stomach and bowels, especially for children. Many physicians use this Elixir as an antacid or corrective in combi- nation or alternating with Pepsin, Bismuth Subnitrate, etc. By a care- fully proportionating of these prescriptions, many severe, chronic or incipient attacks of dyspepsia, diarrhoea due to fermentative dyspepsia, or constipation due to improper assimilation of food or weak digestion, have been successfully treated. Dose. — One or two fluidrachms. 30 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. Elixir SALICYLIC ACID COMP. Each fluidrachm contains Acid Salicylic 5 grains Black Cohosh % grains Yellow Jasmine 2 grains Potassiu m Iodide 1-2 grain Putrefactive processes in the gastrointestinal tract are effectually inhibited by the decided antiseptic property of this preparation. Thus the formation of the amido-acid group and ptomaine products is greatly restricted. It is a powerful antipyretic, reducing temperature and pro- ducing profuse sweating, and also increases general protoplasmic chem- ical activities. It stimulates the glandular structures, thereby increasing the absorption of deposits and inflammatory exudate. This Elixir is a valuable general tonic and alterative, aiding the system in eliminating the poisonous products present in gout, rheumatism and lumbago; further, it lessens the danger of cardiac and cerebral complications during a rheumatic attack. Dose. — For an adult, one teaspoonful four times a day. Elixir SAW PALMETTO COMP. (diuretic, tonic and stimulant.) This Elixir combines in a pleasant and efficient form the active constituents of Saw Palmetto, Sandalwood, Damiana, Potas- sium Acetate, Coca Leaves, Nux Vomica, Kola Nut. It is a very powerful diuretic tonic and stimulant, and is very useful in general debility, impotency, spermatorrhoea, loss of nerve power, headache, neuralgia, paralysis, dysmenorrhcea, etc. In exploiting this combination we are prepared to substantiate the claims regarding its reputed properties. We are willing to endorse its efficiency in the treatment of prostatic troubles ; having received so many reports regarding its favorable action in cases of sexual atony, -we feel warranted in bringing to the notice of the profession a preparation which we believe to be worthy of extended trial. Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls immediately before or after each meal, and again upon retiring. Elixir SAW PALMETTO, CORN SILK AND SANDALWOOD. Each fluidounce represents Saw Palmetto ISO grains Corn Silk ISO grains Sandalwood SO grains In this Elixir are embodied three ingredients, which are especially useful in the treatment of the various diseases, weaknesses and inflam- mation of the bladder, urethra, etc. The physicians who have reported on its properties and uses are quite unanimous in regard to the influence exerted by it on the genito-urinary apparatus. The local effects of the Saw Palmetto on the mucous membrane are utilized in the treatment ot catarrhal affections, such as pyelitis and cystitis. When gravel or cal- culi have set up a catarrh by reason of an irritant action which they exert on the mucous membrane, or when by extension of the morbid condition from the urethra, a specific inflammation is caused, the best results may be expected from the administration of this remedy. Kindly specify " Wyeth'S " when prescribing. 31 Corn Silk, for very many years, has been held in great favor as a home remedy, and is largely used, with marked success, as a diuretic in cardiac and renal dropsy, in cases of uric and phosphatic gravel, vesical catarrh, acute and chronic cystitis, as well as in dropsical affections and as a mild stimulating diuretic. Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls immediately before or after each meal and again upon retiring. Elixir SAW PALMETTO AND PICHI COMP. A pleasant and very efficient combination of Saw Palmetto, San- dalwood, Damaina, Potassium Acetate, Coca Leaves, Nux Vomica, Kola Nut and Pichi. This Elixir contains all the ingredients and has the same therapeutic effect as Elixir Saw Palmetto Comp., mentioned on preceding page. It is fortified and enhanced in value by the addition of Fluid Extract of Pichi. This is extensively employed in the treatment of vesical catarrh, acute or chronic, following a mechanical cause, such as gravel or calculus, by quickly modifying the urinary secretions, calming the irritability and favoring the expulsion of gravel and calculi through the urethra. Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls immediately before or after each meal, and again upon retiring. Elixir SAW PALMETTO AND SANDAL COMP. Each Jluidounce represents Saw Palmetto 120 grains Sandalwood 2k grains Many physicians prefer the simpler combination of this Elixir, claiming they can note and control with less trouble the various stages of the diseases for which these remedies are used when unaccompanied by the more pronounced diuretics and stimulants. Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls immediately before or after each meal, and again upon retiring. Elixir SEDATIVE COMP. (SEE EUXIR CHLORAL COMP.) Elixir SODIUM BROMIDE Each fluidrachm contains 10 grains of Sodium Bromide. The constant use of Sodium Bromide in hospital and private practice has proved it, in its therapeutical effects, to be free from many objections urged against Potassium Bromide. It is more agreeable to the taste, less apt to excite nausea and derangement of the stomach, and, being more readily absorbed into the system, acts more promptly than either the Potassium or Ammonium Bromide. Dose. — For adults, one to two teaspoonfuls. 32 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. Elixir SODIUM SALICYLATE COMP. Each fluidrachtn contains Acid Salicylic 3 1-2 giain Black Cohosh 1 grain Yellow Jasmine 1 grain Potassium Iodide 1 grain Sodium Bicarbonate q. s. This combination has been suggested for the purpose of presenting a permanent and compatible mixture of such remedies as would naturally be presented to the mind of the prescriber diagnosing conditions of rheumatism, gout, lumbago and other pains of the muscles. It does not supersede the extemporaneous prescription in such cases, but consti- tutes a useful adjunct, especially when there is an accompaniment of febrile excitement. Its use would seem to be well indicated in the direc- tion of tonic and alterative properties, and for the purpose of relieving those dull, vague, fugitive aches, which are as much the precursors of a rheumatic attack as they are the sequences. Many patients who do not require an active treatment describe such symptoms to a medical adviser. Anodynes and depressants are inadmissible in such cases ; but if a specific tonic action can be successfully maintained, relief and cure seem reason- ably assured. The action of the Sodium Bicarbonate, or the saturating salt, modifies the sharpness and asperity of the acid and promotes an easy toleration of that remedy. Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls three times a day, or as directed by the attending physician. Elixir STILLINGIA COMP. Each fluidounce represents Stillingia 30 grains Turkey Corn 30 grains Blue Flag 15 grains Yellow Dock 15 grains Coriander 7 1-2 grains Prickly-Ash Berries 7 1-2 grains This combination is a purely vegetable alterative, tonic and laxative, and may be used in cases of rheumatism and scrofula and as an anti- scorbutic in skin diseases. Dose. — One or two fluidrachms. Elixir STRONTIUM SALICYLATE COMP. Each fluidrachm contains Strontium Salicylate 2 grains Strontium Iodide 1 grain Wine of Colchicum 5 minims Tincture Gelsemium 2 minims The above formula will at once commend itself to the busy practi- tioner. The combination is one suggested by an authority of the highest standing, and has in his practice, as well as with many others, been found of extraordinary efficacy in the treatment of acute and chronic rheuma- tism, gout, swelling of the glands and joints, and all the inflammatory Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 33 conditions due to gastric impoverishment, debility and exhaustion of the nerve centres. Dose. — For an adult, as a preventive to attacks of rheumatism, gout, etc., one teaspoonful morning and evening; for regular treatment, while affected with rheumatism, gout or kindred diseases, one teaspoon- ful four times a day. For the treatment of patients suffering from in- flammatory rheumatism or sciatica, two teaspoonfuls three or four times a day, as advised by the attending physician. Elixir TARAXACUM COMP. Each ftuidounce represents Taraxacum (fresh root) 30 grains Wild Cherry Bark 15 grains Gentian Root 10 grains Aromatics 5 grains This preparation combines, in an agreeable Elixir, the peculiar and valuable effects of Dandelion (prepared from the fresh root, collected at the proper season) together with Wild Cherry and Gentian. It will be found a valuable vehicle for disguising the bitter taste of Quinine ; and, in sections of the country subject to influences of malaria, the conjoint action upon the liver will make it a specially useful menstruum. — From Proceedings of the American Pharmaceutical Association. Dose. — One dessertspoonful. Elixir TERPIN HYDRATE. (EXPECTORANT) Each fluidrachm contains 1 grain of Terpin Hydrate. The value of Terpin Hydrate as a therapeutic agent has been more than confirmed by the experience of those who have given it an extended trial, and this preparation will be found most acceptable in the treatment of bronchitis, bronchial catarrh, chronic cough and like affections of the throat and of the organs of respiration. Dose. — For an adult, one dessertspoonful four or five times daily. Elixir TERPIN HYDRATE COMP. Each fluidrachm contains Terpin Hydrate 1 grain Codeine Sulphate 1-8 grain Refined Oil Tar 2 minims Tincture Lobelia 1 minim Tincture Gelsemium 1 minim We desire to call attention to this compound of medicines, which has been devised as a palliative and cough cure. Before its final adoption we had its positive usefulness demonstrated in very numerous trials, the results of which were so uniformly convincing that we deem it worthy a permanent place in the catalogue of prescriptions, and submit it, there- fore, with confidence to the approval of the medical profession and to the trade. It frequently happens in suggesting remedies that by a judi- cious combination, availing of some essential and peculiar property of each ingredient, we can accomplish a curative result in the application of medicines that cannot be obtained by the use, singly and alone, of the components. This is confirmed abundantly by observation and the prac- tice of physicians ; hence it is quite unusual to meet with a one-item 3 34 Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. prescription. In considering this, it is possible that a certain property of one medicine may be needed to assist the operation of another, and a joint or combined effect accomplish exactly what may be desired. Terpin Hydrate is recognized as an expectorant and alterative, as also a modified stimulant in its action, producing no harsh irritation whatever, but reaches directly the mucous surfaces and arouses the inflamed areas to a new regenerative action. The innocuous or milder sedative proper- ties of Codeine are appreciated ; Tar is a diffusive tonic and alterative ; Lobelia actively promotes expectoration, and Gelsemium lends its aid to a control of spasmodic recurrence through its property as a nervine. So that, viewed as a rational compound, the Elixir Terpin Hydrate Comp. may be said to present some unusual features, and to possess an adapta- bility to recent and chronic cough. Dose. — For an adult, one teaspoonful, to be repeated every two or three hours. It is more effective when taken without water or other dilution. Elixir TERPIN HYDRATE AND CHERRY COMP. Each fluidrachm represents Wild Cherry Bark 3 grains White Pine 2 grains Blood Root 1-2 grain Terpin Hydrate 1-2 grain Codeine Sulphate 1-8 grain The value of this combination for chronic or recent coughs, bronchial irritations, and the annoying tickling-throat cough will at once be appre- ciated. This preparation is of pronounced value, and when prescribed both for adults and children will produce excellent results, the quantities of each ingredient being so regulated that its full therapeutic effect is brought into use. Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuk three or four times a day, or as the attending physician may direct. Elixir TERPIN HYDRATE WITH CODEINE. Each fluidrachm contains Terpin Hydrate 1 grain Codeine Sulphate IS grain This combination, embracing the expectorant and calmative properties of these valuable remedies, will, we think, prove most acceptable in the treatment of bronchitis, chronic cough, bronchial catarrh, and like affections of the throat and lungs. The experience of those who have already used this Elixir has proved it to be eminently successful in allaying the distressing cough following influenza and other bronchial affections, without disturbing the stomach by creating nausea and loss of appetite ; nor does it arrest the secretions, cause constipation, headache or other derangements. Codeine is acceptable and borne without any of the distressing effects of Morphine, and although its sedative and anodyne properties are milder it is to be preferred, since its continuance is always effective in small doses and it does not lead to any habitual demand or desire. This Elixir is used by many physicians in combination with Ammo- nium Muriate, Potassium Chlorate, Tincture Ferri Chloride, etc. Dose. — For adults, one dessertspoonful four or five times daily. Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 35 Elixir TONGA COMP. Each Jiuidrachm contains Tonga SO grains Black Cohosh # grains Sodium Salicylate (from Oil Wintergreen) 10 grains Pilocarpine Salicylate 1-100 grain Colchicin Salicylate 1-500 grain This Elixir is a combination of such drugs and chemicals which are particularly indicated in the treatment of rheumatic gout, sciatica, lum- bago and neuralgia. As the formula indicates, the Elixir is a very strong preparation, and will not only relieve the pain and inflammation of an attack of rheumatism, but its persistent and regular use will eventually entirely remove the disease. By resorting to the prompt use of this Elixir upon the first indications of an attack of rheumatism, it may fre- quently be prevented. Dose. — For an adult, one teaspoonful diluted with water, three times a day, before meals. Elixir UNICORN COMP. Each ftuidounce represents Unicorn Root (Aletris Farinosa) 30 grains Cramp Bark (Viburnum Opulus) SO grains Squaw Vine (Michella Rcpens) 30 grain* Blue Cohosh (Caulophyllum Thalictroides) ..... . 15 grains false Unico~n (Helonias Dioica) 15 grains Aromaiics . q. s. A perusal of the above formula will show at once that this Elixir is a highly concentrated and active uterine tonic and restorative. It will be found to be particularly efficacious in the treatment of such diseases as dysmenorrhcea, leucorrhcea, prolapsus uteri and amenorrhoea, and as a preventive of miscarriage, etc. Where abortion has occurred during previous pregnancies, or when abortion is threatened, the Elixir should be continuously administered during the entire gestation. Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls three times a day. Elixir VIBURNUM AND HYDRASTIS COMP. (UTERINE TONIC, SEDATIVE) Each ftuidounce contains Viburnum Opulus (Cramp Bark) UO grains Hydrastis Canadensis (Golden Seal) 30 grains Piscidia Erythrina (Jamaica Dogwood) 20 grains Anemone Pulsatilla (Pulsatilla) 10 grains The above combination cannot but at once appeal to the intelligent practitioner as almost a specific in the treatment of the various kinds of pain incident to the diseases of the female sexual organs, so varied in their character and such a drain upon the general health and strength. Cramp Bark, or Viburnum Opulus, as it is officially designated, is an indigenous plant, long and favorably known to American physicians as perhaps the best remedy for certain kinds of pain, particularly the pains of parturient women and dysmenorrhcea. As its use is entirely free from danger, and as it is as efficient in suitable cases as the most powerful anodynes, it is preferable in an elixir of this kind, which is a household remedy, and to be serviceable as such must be both effective and safe. The twofold astringent and nervine power of Viburnum renders it very useful in the colic of pregnant women accompanied with diarrhoea. 36 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" whe?i prescribing. Dr. Joseph, an Austrian physician, to whom we are indebted for an admirable paper on the use of Viburnum, prefers it to all other remedies in the dysmenorrhcea of young girls, where there is some mechanical difficulty, such as anteflexion. In pain due to other causes, but some- times mistaken for dysmenorrhea, in the pain that many women who have previously aborted suffer from during pregnancy, Viburnum is a most valuable remedy. But valuable as Viburnum is in the treatment of the various kinds of pain, incident to the diseases of the female sexual organs, its chief use and claim to the confidence of physicians is its power of arresting abor- tion, where threatened, and of preventing it where habitual. Where there is this tendency to miscarry, Viburnum is the most efficient remedy that we possess. In other cases, where abortion has not proceeded so far as death of the fcetus and detachment of the ovum, Viburnum is gene- rally found to retain the child until full term. It fails in cases only where given in too small doses. It is an excellent remedy in colic, cramps, spasms, palpitation and other affections incident to pregnancy or arising from uterine disorder, and for after-pains. But it is particu- larly valuable in preventing abortion and miscarriage, whether habitual or otherwise. It is therefore a " uterine sedative. " It is serviceable in all uterine disorders characterized by loss of blood. In menorrhagia or metrorrhagia depending wholly upon systemic causes, phthisis, organic diseases of the heart, hepatic disorders, anaemia or malarial diseases, it is peculiarly applicable. There is no depressing effect succeeding its ad- ministration ; on the contrary, it is a grateful tonic, seeming to stimulate rather than depress. It has a powerful influence in preventing threat- ened abortion. In habitual abortion, when caused by irritability of the uterus or by states of congestion taking place at the usual epoch of menstruation, Viburnum may be given as often as it may seem necessary. With this medicament, even if it be employed for months together, no accident is to be apprehended. In this preparation of Viburnum, now submitted to the profession, the unquestionable utility of this agent is greatly enhanced by the addition of remedies possessed of analogous powers. Not only is the value of Viburnum thus promoted in the special field of its therapeutical activities, but a more extended range of powers is thereby secured. In other words, our new preparation possesses all of the virtues of Vibur- num, and in addition all of the therapeutical properties of Hydrastis, Pulsatilla and Piscidia. Hydrastis has been known as an indigenous remedy of considerable value, as a tonic and reconstituent, and as a topical alterant and astrin- gent. All of the authorities are agreed that Hydrastis stimulates the spinal cord and increases the reflexes. By its effects on the vaso-motor centre it causes a great rise in the blood pressure, and this action is in- creased by its stimulating effect on the muscular fibre of the arterioles. In the same way it promotes the action of the muscular fibre of the uterus. By virtue of bitter tonic properties, Hydrastis promotes appetite and the digestive powers. As it increases the intestinal movements, by stim- ulating the organic muscular fibre, and as the secretions of the mucous membrane are also made more abundant, its effects are somewhat laxative. Hydrastis contains two alkaloids, berberine and hydrastine. All of the powers and properties of hydrastis exist in hydrastine. To the pres- ence of this constituent is due the actions of the drug on the nervous system of animal and organic life. The most important of the recent observations on th6 alkaloid is its action on the uterus, and clinically its power to restrain hemorrhage. The artificial alkaloid, Hydrastine, has been shown to have special powers in menorrhagia and metrorrhagia, Kindly specify "WyKTh's" when prescribing. 37 and other hemorrhages. Hydrastine has consequently become one of the notable remedies in the treatment of uterine congestion and hemor- rhages in congestive dysmenorrhcea. Hydrastine slows the heart and strongly contracts the blood vessels, actions that explain its power in restraining hemorrhage. Hydrastis confers new powers on the combina- tion in the treatment of the various reflex neuroses arising from uterine maladies. Pulsatilla, the next ingredient in the compound to be considered, has long been a favorite remedy of homoeopathic physicians in the treatment of dysmenorrhoea of congestive character, of suppressed menses from ex- posure to cold, and other causes of similar character. Like Viburnum, it is used to relieve irritable states of the uterus, to remove uterine and ovarian irritation and to stop the reflex disturbances, vascular and nerv- ous, arising therefrom. In recent times, the utility of Pulsatilla has been recognized and applied by all classes of practitioners who have learned to appreciate its value. Therapeutically, Pulsatilla is useful in congestive headache, in sym- pathetic neuroses, even the convulsive, in the nervous and hysterical disturbances connected with dysmenorrhcea, in "nervous exhaustion" from overwork, etc. It has been found especially useful in scanty and delayed menstruation, in dysmenorrhcea, in catarrhal affections of the uterine system, in congestion of the uterus, in various reflex disorders due to this state. It will be seen from the foregoing, that Pulsatilla is well fitted to supplement the actions and uses of the other ingredients of this combination of remedies. Piscidia Erythrina, or Jamaica Dogwood, has only recently been in- troduced into medical practice. An examination of its properties will demonstrate how admirably it is fitted to contribute to the therapeutical effects of the other members of the combination. It has sedative and anodyne actions, by virtue of an impression on the sensory nervous system. It has, also, in a more direct manner, the properties of an hyp- notic, so that it comes to supplement in a most satisfactory manner the other components of this preparation. It is a moderator of reflex actions, and reduces the pulse rate, but raises arterial tension by stimulating the vaso-motor centre in the me- dulla. It has proved useful in dysmenorrhcea, in ovarian and uterine neuralgia, in sciatica, and in muscular rheumatism. It is especially indi- cated in the insomnia and the reflex neuroses arising in course of ovarian and uterine disorders, and may be expected to prove of signal service in the melancholia of the puerperal state. Directions. — The Elixir, being free from irritant qualities, may be given before or after meals. It has, indeed, the properties of a stomachic tonic, and will promote, rather than impair, appetite and digestion. The dose for ordinary purposes is a dessertspoonful three times a day. When the symptoms are acute, or pain is present, it may be taken every three or four hours. In cases of dysmenorrhcea, neuralgic or congestive, the administration should begin a few days before the onset of the expected period. In irritable states of the uterus, in threatened abortion, in menorrhagia, etc., it should be given frequently conjoined with rest and other suitable measures. For the various reflex nervous affections due to uterine irritation, in which it is indicated, it should be persistently administered three times a day. When the pains are severe or symp- toms acute the above dose, a dessertspoonful, may be increased to a tablespoonful at the discretion of the patient or the advice of the attending physician. The happiest effects from this combination will be received if administered regularly for three or four days previous to the regular period. 38 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. Elixir WAHOO (Bark of Root). Each fluidounce contains 160 grains of the Bark of the Root In the above preparation we present to the medical profession an article which will supply a want long felt — viz., that of a mild, safe, agreeable and certain cathartic. The exhaustive experiments under the auspices of the British Medical Association, by Rutherford, have brought this article prominently before the regular profession as a remedy of great value, standing almost in the first position among the cholagogues exam- ined. Dr. W. M. Collins, of London, writes of it in the Lancet as ' ' particularly serviceable in cases of hepatic dyspepsia, or what are com- monly called attacks of 'biliousness,' with furred tongue, pale stools, lassitude and general malaise." Dr. J. R. Black, of Ohio, to whom we are much indebted for his contribution on the therapeutical use of Wahoo, in summing up, says, "In Euonymus we have an invaluable gastric tonic, mild cholagogue, pleasant laxative or cathartic, according to dose." BarTholow confirms the opinions of the above, and pronounces it a cholagogue of specific power. We manufacture largely the Fluid Extract, from which we prepare the Elixir, and recommend the latter in prefer- ence, as we are able to mask its bitterness thoroughly. The Elixir of Wahoo, as prepared by us, will be found an admirable gastric tonic, as well as a mild cholagogue-cathartic, acting, usually, within a few hours of its administration. It has also some diuretic and antiperiodic prop- erties. It does not cause griping, and may be given for some time with- out increase of dose. Dose. — The dose, as a cathartic, is a tablespoonful on going to bed, to be repeated in the morning before breakfast. For habitual constipation, a dessertspoonful, repeated several mornings and evenings, will prove sufficient. These directions may require to be modified by the physician, according to the susceptibility of the patient. Those physicians to whom the subject of Wahoo is of special interest are requested to write for more complete literature. Elixir YERBA SANTA AROMATIC. Each ftuidrachm represents Yerba Santa 7 1-2 grains Aromatics g. s. This Elixir is useful in diseases of the throat, as a stomachic and as an adjuvant. Dose — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls three or four times a day. Elixir ZINC VALERIANATE. Each Jluidrachm contains one grain of Zinc Valerianate. Tonic and antispasmodic ; useful in cases of hysteria, epilepsy, etc. Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls. Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 39 SYRUPS. Syrup CODEINE PHOSPHATE COMP. Each flaidrachm contains Codeine Phosphate 1-6 grain Terpin Hydrate 1 grain- Combined with balsamic expectorants : Ipecac, 1-kgr.; Eucalyptus Extract, l-% gr. This Syrup will prove very beneficial in the treatment of inflamma- tory conditi ons of the respiratory tract, recent or chronic coughs, ' ' colds ' ' in the head or chest, grippe, bronchitis, asthma, hoarseness, loss of voice, catarrhal conditions of the nose and throat. Dose. — For adults, from one to three teaspoonfuls every three hours. Children of two years, one-half teaspoonful ; four years, one teaspoonful; six years, one and one-half teaspoonfuls ; eight years, two teaspoonfuls. Infants, from three months to twelve months, five to twenty drops, at regular intervals of three hours. Syrup FIVE BROMIDES. Each fluidrachm contains Sodium Bromide 5 grains Potassium Bromide A grains Calcium Bromide 3 grains Lithium Bromide % grains Ammonium Bromide Igrain This Syrup embodies in an elegant and palatable form a combination of the several bromides which, collectively, have proved so very valuable in the treatment of all forms of nervous disorder, melancholy, epilepsy, convulsions, delirium tremens, nervous headache, etc. As a hypnotic it gives excellent results, inducing refreshing sleep without any deleterious after-effects. It is also useful in menorrhagia due to ovarian irritability and nervousness. Dose. — For adults,, one to two teaspoonfuls, in water, three times a day. Syrup HEROIN COMP. Each fluidrachm contains 1-16 grain of Heroin combined with balsams and demulcents incorporated in a glycerine base. The sedative action of this preparation is reputed to be more powerful on the respiratory apparatus than Morphine or Codeine, and as these two latter drugs are much more toxic in effect than Heroin, it is evident the Syrup Heroin Comp. is not only a safer but a more effective remedy. Dose. — For adults, one to two teaspoonfuls, in water, as required. 40 Kindly specify "WyKTh's" when prescribing. Syrup ACID HYDRIODIC (i per cent.) Each fluidounce of this Syrup contains 6.675 grains Acid Hydriodic, which represents 6.66 grains of Iodine, or is equivalent to 8.69 grains Potassium Iodide. This Syrup is an excellent preparation for the exhibition of iodine, on account of its non-irritating qualities and the readiness with which it gives up the iodine when taken into the stomach. It will be found to produce very good results in the treatment of hay fever, chronic or acute rheumatism, lupus, asthma, catarrh, pneumonia, goitre, eczema, scrofu- lous diseases, etc. Hydriodic Acid (HI.) is composed of 126.6 parts of iodine and 1 part of hydrogen, or each 100 parts contain 99.22 parts of iodine and .78 part of hydrogen. These elements have such slight affinity for each other that the acid is quite readily decomposed ; and as the heat and light cause this decomposition, it is very important to keep this Syrup in a cool, dark place; ; it should also be corked tightly. If it develops a red color, the decomposition has begun and the Syrup is unfit for administration. Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls, in water, before meals. Syrup ACID HYDRIODIC (2 per cent.) Each fluidounce of this'. Syrup contains 13.350 grains Acid Hydriodic, which represents 13.32 grains Iodine, or is equivalent to 17. 3i> grains Potassium Iodide. It is frequently desirable to obtain more pronounced or prompt effects by the use of Hydriodic Acid. For such cases we have prepared this Syrup, which is of double strength. Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls, in water, before meals. SYRUPS OF THE HYPOPHOSPHITES. Following closely the researches of Prof. Samuel Jackson, about 1852, as to the value of the Phosphate Salts of L/ime, Sodium, Potas- sium and Iron, that eminent therapeutist, Dr. Churchill, introduced to the medical world his results and experience and highly beneficial effects in the administration of the Hypophosphite Salts of the same metals. Unlike so many new remedies that are widely popular for a time but have only an ephemeral existence, the Salts of the Hypophos- phites have steadily maintained their high standard as remedial agents, and have grown in favor from year to year, until now they are recognized as almost indispensable in the treatment of those affections requiring the use of Phosphorus in its most available form, combined with the metallic bases, such as Lime, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, Manganese, as well as the vegetable salts of Quinine, Strychnine, etc. So universal has become the use of the Hypophosphite preparations, it has led to the exploiting of numerous and unreliable proprietary or patent combinations, sold indiscriminately broadcast ; these, of course, we do not recognize, and they are not generally regarded as legitimate by the profession, but nevertheless have a large sale as a general tonic. Fver since i860 we have prepared the various Syrups and combinations, as suggested by Dr. Churchill, with the most gratifying endorsements of medical men throughout the country.

Francis Churchill, having devoted himself from the com- mencement of his professional career to the study of the most fatal disease with which humanity is afflicted — pulmonary phthisis — was in- duced from profound observation, corroborated by the researches of various pathologists, to look for the especial cause of tubercular diathesis not in the derangement of the organic elements of the blood, but rather in the inorganic elements of that fluid ; and, further, he was led to con- clude that the phenomena presented by this disease were to be attributed rather to the loss or diminution than to the augmentation of any essen- tial element. What this element was, remained to be found out. Iron, sulphur, sulphates, sulphurets, chlorides, alkalies, had all been tried, with little or no success. Phosphorus was what fixed the attention of Dr. Churchill. But in what form was he to administer it? The result of his labor and observations led to this conclusion: "The tubercular diathesis depends upon a diminution in the economy of the phosphorized element, and this element, having to act the part of a combustible body, must be found at a degree of oxidation inferior to that of phosphoric acid." Finally, he selected for experiment hypophosphorous acid and the Hypophosphites. These latter salts are perfectly soluble in water, and, consequently, easily administered. He prepared, first of all, the Hypophosphite of Lime, and, after experimenting upon himself to deter- mine the dose, he administered it in thirty-five cases, the result of which was given in a paper read before the Acad£mie Imperiale de M£decine, July 21, 1857, in which he submitted to the judgment of the Academy the following conclusions : ' ' The immediate cause — or, at least, an essential condition — of the tubercular diathesis is the diminution in the system of phosphorus in an oxydizable state. "The specific remedy for this disease is a preparation of phosphorus, easily absorbed and asssimilated, and at the lowest possible degree of oxidation." From the first day there is frequently observed a remarkable increase of nervous power, with a feeling of vigor, strength and comfort, to which the patient has long been unaccustomed. Digestion is invigorated ; the appetite increases wonderfully ; the bowels become regular, and the evacuations more copious and less frequent ; the cough ceases, and a calm, profound sleep comes in to restore the patient and repair the ravages of disease, while the night perspirations diminish or cease alto- gether ; the face becomes fuller, the lips red, the eyes brighter ; the hair of the head and the beard grow and acquire strength, as also the nails, and, in children, the teeth — showing the importance of the action of the Hypophosphites upon the organs of nutrition. 42 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing .

Each fluidrachm contains Iron Phosphate 2 grains Quinine Phosphate 1 grain Strychnine Phosphate 1-60 grain This preparation was first introduced to the medical profession in London, and is there much esteemed. It has been largely used, both in this country and abroad, with good results, in cases of general debility and want of muscular power. Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful three or four times a day. Syrup LACTOPHOSPHATES COMP. Each fluidrachm contains Lime Lactophosphate 1 grain Iron Lactophosphate 1-2 grain Potassium Lactophosphate 1-L grain This preparation represents the four substances entering into the constitution of tissue and bone, and may be used in all cases requiring a stimulation of the digestive functions in order to restore the great waste of the system.

This preparation is indicated in sleeplessness, nervousness, palpitation of the heart, neuralgia, spasmodic coughs, asthma, and, in fact, in any condition in which an effective and soothing nerve sedative is beneficial. Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls three times a day ; this may be gradually increased by the attending physician to two tablespoon- fuls three times a day, as the indications require. Syrup LIME IODIDE. Each fluidrachm contains 2 grains Lime Iodide. Alterative and tonic, aiding nutrition and the assimilative functions. Dose. — One teaspoonful. Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 47 Syrup LIME LACTOPHOSPHATE. Each fluidrachm contains 2 grains Lime Lactophosphate. It is prepared with an excess of Acid Lactic. Lime Lactophosphate has been largely used and is highly commended as a remedy of great value in the various forms of scrofula, in phthisis, and in the diseases dependent upon defective nutrition. Its use in the French hospitals demonstrates that it exceeds all agents tried in stimulating the functions of nutrition. All who have vised it unite in advocating its special adaptation and value when given to chil- dren and infants, where these functions are so often deficient. We manufacture this salt from an approved formula, and prepare from it a Syrup pleasantly flavored, which contains two grains of the Lime Lactophosphate in each fluidrachm. Dose. — For adults, one dessertspoonful two or three times a day. Children, one teaspoonful. For infants the dose should be graduated according to age. Syrup PECTORAL (JACKSON). Each fluidrachm contains Morphine Hydrochlorate 1-16 grain Syrup Tolu q. s. This preparation is made according to the prescription of the late Dr. Samuel Jackson, Professor of the University of Pennsylvania, and has found much favor on account of its beneficial effects, as well as the eminent source from whence it originates. It is confidently recommended to all who are afflicted with coughs, colds, hoarseness or any of the various affections of the throat or lungs. It is especially serviceable in chronic coughs, and affords great relief to consumptive patients, even in advanced stages of the disease. Though simple in composition, it is believed to be one of the best cough remedies extant. It is extensively used and prescribed by mem- bers of the medical faculty everywhere. Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful, to be repeated every two, three or four hours, as required. For children it should be proportionately decreased. Syrup PHOSPHATES COMP. (chemical food.) Each fluidrachm contains Iron Phosphate 1 grain Lime Phosphate 2 grains Sodium Phosphate • • 1 grain Potassium Phosphate 1-2 grain With slight excess of Acid Phosphoric. This preparation was introduced by the late Dr. Samuel Jackson, Professor of the University of Pennsylvania, and has been extensively prescribed with very gratifying results. It is not intended as a popular remedy, but is submitted to the medical faculty as a nutritive tonic, well suited to supply the waste of elementary matter in the human system during the progress of chronic cases, particularly in dyspepsia and in consumption. The Phosphates will prove most useful as a stimulant and tonic to the nervous system, which invariably suffers in conditions of debility. Not only theoretically, but in the best private and hospital practice, under 48 Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. the direction of the most experienced medical men, this combination has proved a most efficient aid in all cases of malnutrition, supplying to the brain and spinal cord elements which are needed for the due per- formance of their functions, and the want of which is made manifest by many of the symptoms of wasting diseases. It has been found to be especially useful in tuberculosis, scrofula, rickets in children, anaemia, neuroses and kindred diseases. By careful and intelligent manipulation the salts are held in complete solution ; hence their efficiency in small doses. This preparation is pleasant to the eye, agreeable to the taste and grateful to the stomach, and does not nauseate by protracted use. Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls. Syrup PHOSPHATES COMP. WITH MURIATE OF QUININE. Each fiuidrachm contains Potassium Phosphate 1 3-Ugrains Magnesium Phosphate 1 grain Lime Phosphate 3-U grain Iron Phosphate 1 grain Strychnine Phosphate 1-120 grain Quinine Muriate 1-U grain Syrupy Acid Phosptwmc q . s. and free Simple Syrup q. s. Dose. — For an adult, one-half to one teaspoonful, in a wineglass or more of water, three times a day. POPPY AROMATIC— ELIXIR. (see; elixir poppy aromatic, page 27.) Syrup TAMARINDS COMP.— WYETH. This Syrup is composed of an infusion of the pulp of fresh and fully ripened Tamarinds in proportionate combination with Prune Juice, Cascara Sagrada, Cassia Fistula, Carminative Aromaiics and Molasses. Each fiuidrachm represents 7 1-2 grains Cascara Sagrada Bark. This is a purely vegetable preparation, intended to correct indigestion and to regulate the action of the bowels, and will be found an effective remedy for constipation, sour stomach, flatulency, etc. It is intended especially for infants and children ; and although it pro- motes a quiet sleep and allays feverish conditions due to indigestion, it is in no way narcotic, but is absolutely free of all anodynes such as Opium, Morphine, Bromides, Chloral, etc. Dose. — For children, one to six months of age, ten to thirty drops ; six mouths to one year of age, one-half to one teaspoonful ; one to five years of age, one to two teaspoonfuls ; five to fifteen years of age, two to three teaspoonfuls. Adults, one to two tablespoon fuls, to be repeated every two or three hours, as the circumstances of the case may warrant. Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 49 Syrup TRIFOLIUM COMP. Each fluidounce represents Red Clover 32 grains Burdock Root 16 grains Poke Root 16 grains Slillingia 16 grains Berberis Aquifohum 16 grains Cascara A marga 16 grains Prickly-Ash Berries U grains Potassium Iodide 8 grains This preparation is much preferred by some physicians to the many alteratives which have been brought to the attention of the medical pro- fession. It can be prescribed with satisfaction in cases of secondary syphilis, and the prompt and decided action in the majority of cases leaves no room for doubt of the great value of this combination. Dose. — For adults, one to four teaspoonfuls three times a day. Syrup WHITE PINE COMP. Each fluidounce represents White-Pine Bark 30 grains Wild-Cherry Bark 30 grains Spikenard k grains Balm q/C -lead Buds & grains Blood Root 3 grains Sassafras Bark 2 grains Morphine Sulphate . . ." 3-16 grain Chloroform k minims In directing the attention of the medical profession to this invaluable expectorant, we must refer to the fact that it was only after an expendi- ture of much time and study, involving considerable experimental work, that we succeeded in perfecting our formula, enabling us to offer a medicated syrup which, for beauty and efficiency, we feel assured, cannot be surpassed. The preparation represents, combined in the most palatable form, the following ingredients: White-Pine Bark, Wild-Cherry Bark, Spikenard Root, Balm of Gilead Buds, Blood Root, Sassafras Bark, Morphine Sul- phate and Chloroform. These are combined and incorporated into a syrup with such pharmaceutical skill as to preserve unimpaired their therapeutic properties. As an expectorant, this syrup certainly possesses exceptional merit, and, in the opinion of leading physicians, has proved of invaluable service in allaying those distressing symptoms so apparent in laryngeal troubles. Its efficiency is likewise manifest in relieving that obstinate and per- sistent irritation that frequently accompanies the development of pul- monary affections. The quantity of Morphine Sulphate which is incorpo- rated is just sufficient to exercise a calmative effect and yet so minute as to be free from those objections which frequently characterize preparations of this kind. In coughs, colds and similar affections, such as hoarseness, sore throat, etc., whether recent or of long standing, it will be found to give immediate relief. Dose. — In recent coughs, from one to three teaspoonfuls, as required. In chronic cases, three or four times daily, or as the attending physician may direct. 4 50 Kindly specify " WyETh's " when prescribing. Syrup WHITE PINE COMP. AND TAR. Each fluidounce represents White-Pine Bark 30 grains Wild-Cherry Bark 30 grains Spikenard U grains Balm of Gilcad Buds It grains Blood Root 3 grains Sassafras Bark % grains Morphine Sulphate 3-16 grain Chloroform h minims With the addition of Tar. To the above Syrup of White Pine Comp. the addition of Tar is certainly of inestimable value, for it not only contributes to the moderation of the cough by the promotion of expectoration, but at the same time allays nausea, increases the appetite and digestive powers. Many of the most popular expectorants fail from the fact that, while the cough is temporarily relieved, the stomach is so badly disordered that the patient loses faith and the object of the Syrup is not accom- plished. We consider that the Syrup of White Pine and Tar is particularly adapted to children, whose proneness to coughs and colds renders it quite indispensable, and whose aversion to medicine makes it absolutely necessary to humor them with something very palatable. Dose. — In recent coughs, from one to three teaspoonfuls, as required. In chronic cases, three or four times daily, or as the physician may direct. Syrup WHITE PINE COMP. WITH CODEINE. Each fluidounce represents Wli it c-Pine Bark SO grains Wild-Cherry Bark ■. . 30 grains Spikenard It grains Balm of Gilcad Buds k grains Blood Root 3 grains Sassafras Bark 2 grains Codeine Sulphate 3-16 grain Chloroform 4 minims With many of the more progressive physicians Codeine has displaced Morphine as a palliative in the quieting of the local irritation of the respiratory organs due to colds, coughs, and bronchial affections. As a cough sedative they have found Codeine to be equal, if not superior, to Morphine, and to be free from all soporific effect. Where Morphine is contraindicated, the desired sedative effect can be obtained by Codeine. All that has been said regarding the therapeutic value of Syrup White Pine Comp. is equally true of this combination of Syrup White Pine Comp. with Codeine. Dose. — In recent coughs, irom one to three teaspoonfuls, as required. In chronic cases, three or four times daily, or as the physician may direct. Kindly specify "Wyeth'S" when prescribing . 51 Syrup WHITE PINE COMP. AND TAR WITH CODEINE. Each ftuidounce represents White-Pine Bark 30 grains Wild-Cherry Bark SO grains Spikenard U grains Balm of Gilcad Buds 4 grains Blood Root S grains Sassafras Bark 2 grains Codeine Sulphate 3-16 grain Chloroform U minims With the addition of Tar. This is an ideal combination and has become very popular with many physicians. The therapeutic value of its various constituents has been fully detailed in the notes upon the three preceding Syrups. The addition of Tar is certainly of inestimable value, for it not only contributes to the moderation of the cough by the promotion of expectoration, but, at the same time, allays nausea, increases the appetite and digestive powers. Its efficiency is likewise manifest in relieving that obstinate and persist- ent irritation that frequently accompanies the development of pulmonary affections. In coughs, colds and similar affections, such as hoarseness, sore throat, etc., whether recent or of long standing, it will be found to give immediate relief. Dose. — In recent coughs, from one to three teaspoonfuls, as required. In chronic cases, three or four times daily, or as the physician may direct. Syrup WHITE PINE COMP. WITH EUCALYPTOL HONEY. (with or without tar) Each ftuidrachm contains Syrup White Pine 5 minims Syrup Wild Cherry 5 minims Syrup Squill 3 minims Syrup Senega 3 minims Syrup Ipecac 2 minims Syrup Sanguinaria 1 minim Tincture Opium Camph 10 minims Chloroform 1-8 minim Eucalyptol Honey 10 minims Terpin Hydrate 1 grain In addition to the valuable therapeutic properties of the Compound Syrup White Pine, this preparation contains the stimulant, antiperiodic, antispasmodic and antiseptic properties of the Eucalyptol. This syrup is particularly indicated in those cases of acute and chronic bronchitis and various forms of coughs and colds which are complicated with chronic gastric and intestinal catarrh. Dose. — One-half to one teaspoonful every two or three hours. 52 Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. Syrup WHITE PINE COMP. WITH HEROIN. (with or without tar) Each fluidounce represents White-Pine Bark 30 grains Wild-Cherry Bark 30 grains Spikenard 4 grains Balm of Gilead Buds U grains Blood Root 3 grains Sassafras Bark 2 grains Heroin 8-%U grain Chloroform 4 minims A valuable remedy in chronic or recent pulmonary affections of the throat or lungs, relieving obstinate coughs by promoting expectoration, and serving as a calmative in all bronchial or laryngeal troubles. Dose. — In recent coughs, one teaspoonful as required. In chronic cases, three or four times daily, or as the attending physician may direct. Syrup YERBA SANTA, AROMATIC. Each ftaidrachm represents 7 1-2 grains Verba Santa with Aromatics. This is a valuable vehicle for the administration of bitter or dis- agreeable drugs and medicines. As a base or diluent in a prescription for use in the treatment of coughs and colds it is very desirable, and is itself beneficial in all bronchial affections. Dose. — For an adult, one to four teaspoonfuls three or four times a day. Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 53 WINES. Wine of AMERICAN ASH. Each tablespoonful represents 60 grains American Ash Bark. This preparation was formally introduced to the medical profession by Dr. Charges P. Turner, of Philadelphia, in an elaborate paper read by him July 19, 1881, at a meeting of the Northern Medical Association, held in Dispensary Hall, in this city. Dr. Turner had for several years previously employed it in his private practice, and the therapeutic results obtained in nearly every case treated by him, and in many he had seen in consultation with brother practitioners, were truly surprising. Im- pressed by its virtues and peculiar influence, as well as by its specific action, he concluded to bring it to the attention of medical men generally as a remedy entitled to their earnest consideration. In his exhaustive paper, as noted above, he entered fully not only into the theory of its action, but cited actual cases, through testimonials, that clearly demon- strated how practical results had confirmed the reasoning that first prompted him to experiment with a large number of patients suffering from every form of uterine disease. The Doctor writes : " It is invaluable in the treatment of the great class of uterine affections, viz., prolapsus, versions, menstrual irregulari- ties, inflammation, leucorrhoea, etc. , depending upon chronic enlargement for their basis. In presenting so important a contribution to our Materia Medica, its gynaecological connections should be briefly traced. En- largement depends upon the fact that the uterus is composed essentially of erectile tissue. In health, periodical enlargement and contraction are going on, in harmony with the physiological law of ovulation. Im- mediately preceding the menstrual period, the size of the uterus becomes markedly increased. If, at this crisis, deliverance from hyperaamia be interfered with by any malign influence, such as climate changes, cold bathing, exposure to cold, or some latent constitutional disorder, the shock falls upon the vaso-motor nerve system, and its enfeebled condition tends to arrest the circulation and to create vascular engorgement. The first stage of chronic enlargement, with its subsequent pathological changes, is thus set up. Without going any further into the etiology of our subject, it suffices to state that enlargement being now a fixed factor, the element of mechanical pressure in its turn impairs the neurotic force essential to contract muscular fibre, or stimulate the absorbent and capil- lary systems. It is just here that the Vinum Fraxinum Americance exerts its special influence. Unlike Ergot, which expends its contractile force energetically and spasmodically, it exerts a gentle but persistent tonic impression upon the benumbed nerve system ; the absorbents respond to the new vitalizing influence, and the uterus returns gradually to its normal size and condition." Not only Dr. Turner, but a number of other eminent physicians unite in advising their medical friends not to expect rapid cures : while relief and marked benefit may be gained in two or three weeks, it may be as many months before absolute freedom from suffering will result, as 54 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. the time of cure naturally depends upon the extent and character of the trouble. Many physicians, both here and throughout the country, have used it -with advantage in cases where other medicines have failed to afford relief. The active medicinal principle of the plant from which the Wine is prepared appears to exist solely in the inner bark of the root, associated with an acrid resin-like substance from which it is essential to free it. As the virtues of the drug depend in a great measure on the time it is collected, we have made special arrangements with one of the best prac- tical botanists in this country to supply us with the bark, gathered at the proper season, from vigorous young trees, and containing its active medicinal principle in its greatest quantity and activity. The Wine is of a rich red-brown color, free from turbidity or sediment ; its odor is fragrant and its taste characteristic and agreeable. Dose. — One teaspoonful, taken three times a day, before meals. It is usually administered uncombined. Wine of CALISAYA. Each fluidrachm represents 5 grains Calisaya Bark. This preparation of Peruvian Bark is especially acceptable to females and children who cannot take the stronger preparation and who require the mildly stimulating effect of Sherry Wine with the peculiar tonic effect of Cinchona. It will be found very useful in the convalescence from low forms of fever, as a preventive of malarial diseases, and in all cases in which a mild and effective nerve tonic is required. It is prepared from choice Bark and Sherry Wine, with the addition of Aromatics. Dose. — For adults, one tablespoonful to a wineglassful. Wine of COCA. Each fluidounce represents Coca Leaves 60 grains Sherry Wine and Aromatics q.s. This preparation is made from the leaves of Erythroxylon Coca, exhausted with Sherry Wine, and represents, in a very pleasant form, the combined therapeutical effects of this valuable drug. In 1853 Dr. Weddei.1, stated that a decoction of coca leaves produced a gentle excitant effect, with an indisposition to sleep, in these respects resembling tea 1 and coffee ; also, that it will support the strength for a considerable time in the absence of food, but does not supply nutriment, and prob- ably, in this respect, acts like the two substances referred to. Prominent therapeutists claim it as a nervine excitant, possessing both anodyne and antispasmodic properties; it is also valuable' as a calmative in those nervous conditions peculiar to females, relieving indigestion and sick or neuralgic headache. As a tonic and invigorator, it imparts to the system — under extreme physical exertion or mental overwork, or in that lan- guid condition succeeding acute disease — a vigor and buoyancy that are remarkable. It is claimed to be an antidote for alcoholism and a cure for the opium habit. Dose. — One to two tablespoonfuls three or four times daily. Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing . 55 Wine of COD LIVER OIL EXTRACT— FERRO-PEPTONIZED. Eachfluidounce represents one-fourth its volume of Cod Liver Oil, 8 grains Peptonized Iron, with Port Wine and Aromatics. This preparation contains the extractive alkaloidal principles (so- called) of Cod Liver Oil in a pleasant, acceptable and palatable combina- tion with Peptonized Iron and Port Wine. Dose.— -For an adult, one-half to one wineglassful, either plain or with water or milk, before each meal. Wine of COD LIVER OIL EXTRACT WITH CHERRY AND HYPOPHOSPHITES. Each fluidounce represents one-fourth its volume of Cod Liver Oil with Extract of Malt, Fhcid Extract Wild Cherry Bark and the Hypophosphites of Lime, Sodium, Potassium, Iron, Manganese, Quinine and Strychnine. This preparation combines in a most palatable and agreeable form the active medicinal principles of the purest Norwegian Cod Liver Oil with the Syrup of the Hypophosphites, Malt Extract and Wild Cherry, the objection so often made by patients that their stomachs are disturbed or nausea produced by the administration of an emulsion or the raw Cod Liver Oil being entirely overcome by the careful elimination from the Oil of that fatty and oleaginous portion against which is chargeable all that disturbing influence, at the same time preserving unimpaired from the Cod Liver Oil its active principles upon which it depends for its stimulant and alterative influence in the process of assimilation and nutrition, care also being exercised to guard against the presence of any decomposition products by the extraction of these active principles from the Oil while it is yet contained in the fresh cod livers and before they have undergone any organic change. Thus is secured a preparation not only palatable and pleasant, but one from which have been removed as well all the features patients and physicians have so frequently found objectionable in Syrup of Hypophosphites, Emulsion or raw Cod Liver Oil, and embodying at the same time not only all that is valuable in the several ingredients, but combining the stimulant and alterative properties of the Cod Liver Oil, the tonic and sedative properties of Wild Cherry, the nutritive and dias- tasic principles of pure Malt, and the tonic, nutritive and reconstructive properties of the Hypophosphites. Most gratifying results may be secured in all cases of bronchitis, asthma, membranous croup, hoarseness, nervous debility, flatulent dys- pepsia, marasmus, insomnia, hysteria, night sweats, palpitation of the heart, anaemia, chlorosis, chronic diarrhcea, prostration (following fevers, diphtheria, tonsillitis, etc.), phthisis, paralysis, all pulmonary affections, nervous disorders resulting from an anaemic or exhausted condition of the system. Dose. — For an adult, one tablespoonful, preferably a short time before meals and at bed-time ; for children more than five years of age, one teaspoonful ; for younger children and infants, dose must be apportioned with reference to age, ailment and physical condition. Wine of ERGOT. Strength, United States Pharmacopoeia, 1SD0. Representing a reliable preparation of this valuable drug. Dose. — One-half to one teaspoonful. 56 Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. Wine of GLYCEROPHOSPHATE OF LIME. Each fluidounce contains 10 grains Glycero-Phosphate of Lime. Attention was called to the value of Glycero-phosphate of Lime in the treatment of anaemia, chlorosis, sciatica, nervous prostration, the albu- minuria of convalescents, and in all cases of neurasthenia, by Dr. Albert Robin, before the Academie de Medecine of Paris, as recently as 1894. Since then, in hospital and private practice, it has been proved by many prominent practitioners that Glycero-phosphate of Lime supplies the exhausted and enervated cells with Phosphorus in a state of combination essentially the same as that naturally contained in them, — an organic or physiological Phosphorus, as it were, — readily assimilable, and thus differ- ing from the mineral Phosphorus of the Hypophosphites and the ordinary unassimilable Phosphate of Lime. Dose. — For an adult, two or more tablespoonfuls before each meal. Wine of IRON. Each fluidrachm contains 1 grain Iron and Ammonium Citrate. Uniting the valuable chalybeate tonic effects of Iron with the stimulus of Sherry Wine. Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls. Bitter Wine of IRON. Each fluidrachm contains Iron and A tnmonium Citrate 8 grains Calisaya Bark 5 grains Among the many chalybeate and vegetable tonic combinations that are justly entitled to a high degree of favor, we know of none more worthy of esteem than this. The happy effect, in many cases of debility, loss of appetite and general prostration, has been so frequently demon- strated that we feel every confidence in recommending it. Dose. — For adults, one teaspoonful immediately before or after each meal. Wine of KOLA COMP. Each fluidounce represents Kola Nuts IS grains Celery Seeds US grains Coca Leaves 6k grains This preparation is specifically indicated in cases of nervous prostra- tion occasioned by over-excitement and fatigue of mind and body, impart- ing to the system under extreme physical exertion and strain a vigor and buoyancy that are most marked. Its administration will be found particularly valuable in counteracting the distressing consequences of undue indulgence in alcoholic stimulants, smoking or other excesses, re- lieving the morbid depression which invariably follows, promoting a healthy tone and vigor in the patient's condition. It also exerts a direct action upon hepatic functions, augmenting the secretions of urine and stimulating the nervous system and heart. Each fluidounce contains forty- eight grains Kola, forty-eight grains Celery and sixty-four grains Coca. Dose. — A dessertspoonful every two or three hours, or as may be required according to the condition of the patient ; in extreme cases of prostration, a tablespoonful may be given as the preliminary dose. Kindly specify " WyETh's " when prescribing. 57 Wine of PEPSIN. Each pint contains Pepsin, Pure, Soluble 1%8 grains Glycerine h fluidounces Acid Hydrochloric SO minims Acid Lactic SO minims Vinum Xericum q. s. ad 1 pint This contains the digestive principle of the gastric juice in solution, forming an elegant and agreeable preparation. Dose. — One to two teaspoonfuls. Wine of TAR. (FORMULA OF THE LATE DR. SAMUEL JACKSON, PROFESSOR OF THE THEORY AND PRACTICE OF MEDICINE, UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA.) The formula for the Wine of Tar, together with the method by which the best product can be obtained, was furnished us quite forty years since by Dr. Samuel Jackson, a celebrated professor in the University of Pennsylvania Medical College. He prescribed it largely either alone or in combination in every case of pulmonary disease, — in phthisis, chronic bronchitis, and the catarrhs of the broncho-pulmonary tract. He also gave it freely, and with much success, in the catarrhal affections of the mucous membrane in general, and especially — besides the pulmonary — in those of the genito-urinary passages. Dr. Jackson's success in the use of this remedy induced some of the most eminent practitioners of the time — among whom we particularly remember Prof. William Pepper and Dr. William W. Gerhard — to begin its employment in the same affections, and they had equally good results. Notwithstanding the remarkable success achieved by the Wine of Tar, newer and more popular, if less efficient, remedies for a time displaced it ; but in the course of these revolutions of professional favor, by no means uncommon, it has again assumed its rightful place as a remedy. The recent developments in the pathogeny of phthisis and in the therapeutics of catarrhal affections have demonstrated the utility of remedies possessed of the antiseptic powers and the stimulating and nutritive properties of the Wine of Tar, as made by us. In a complexus of symptoms by no means rare — bronchial and stomachal catarrh combined — the Wine of Tar has special efficacy : it moderates the cough, promotes expectoration, and at the same time allays nausea and increases the appetite and the digestive power. Prac- tical physicians need hardly be told how ordinary cough-remedies and expectorants fail under such circumstances ; the agents that relieve the cough disorder the stomach. It is a misfortune of the action of most remedies used against cough that they are apt to distress the stomach and impair the appetite. As in all cases of chronic cough, it is of vital importance to maintain the nutrition, the value of a remedy acting as our Wine of Tar can be readily appreciated. There is another class of cases in which the Wine of Tar is capable of effecting very great relief, — cases of bronchitis in which there is coincident catarrh of the urinary passages. In the latter affections alone, whether examples of pyone-phrosis or vesical catarrh, it must be ranked among the most efficient remedies. In irritability of the bladder, and in some instances of urinary incontinence requiring the exhibition of a stimulating remedy, it may be expected to do good. As in our combination the power of Tar as a remedial agent is re- enforced by the Malt and Hops, it acts as an efficient stomachic tonic and 58 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. general nutritive stimulant. The small amount of alcohol contained in it contributes to the tonic effect, but is insufficient to impair the digestive power of the gastric juice, which, indeed, it rather promotes. Finally, it must be admitted that even if administered in cases to which it is not adapted, no injury can be done by it, unless in quantity which can only be regarded as excessive. It has been asserted that the addition of Tar to ordinary beer will, if permitted to stand for some time, prove as valuable as the preparation made by the fermentation of Malt and Hops with the Tar. It requires but little reflection, however, to understand that if the vinous fermentation is conducted with the Tar there must be a more decisive and effective combi- nation of the ingredients. It is to the use of ill-prepared and unscientific combinations that the unsavory reputation of many meritorious remedies is often due. This fact has been conspicuous in the history of the prepa- rations of Tar, and to such errors must be in part ascribed the disuse of a once popular and always highly eligible remedy. When the inhalation of the vapor of Tar is indicated, our Wine of Tar will be found the most effective and agreeable way to administer it, either with an atomizer or by an inhaler. Directions. — As an expectorant the adult dose is a dessertspoonful every three or four hours. As a tonic take a tablespoonful an hour before meals, the physician graduating the dose for children according to age. Some practitioners, claiming that the gradual increase of the dose is an advantage, prescribe double the above dose to patients who have already taken it for a considerable time. Always dilute the dose with an equal quantity or more of water. Kindly specify "Wykth'S" when prescribing. 59 LIQUORS. Liquor ACID PHOSPHATES COMP. (with iron.) Each fluidrachm contains Lime Phosphate '. S grains Magnesium Phosphate 1-2 grain Potassium Phosphate 1-U grain Iron Phosphate 1-2 grain Acid Phosphoric q. s. Liquor ACID PHOSPHATES COMP. (without iron.) Each fluidrachm contains Lime Phosphate 3 grains Magnesium Phosphate 2 grains Potassium Phosphate 1 1-2 grains Acid Phosphoric q. s. These combinations of the Acid Phosphates have been used with very satisfactory results by Dr. Wn,UAM PEPPER and many prominent physicians as a tonic to the digestive organs and to the nervous system. Dr. Pepper devised the formula as a substitute for an empirical preparation, called " Acid Phosphate, " largely advertised in the news- papers, and freely exploited as a remedy for nervousness, dyspepsia, mental exhaustion, impaired vitality, etc. The value of the Phosphates, held in solution by an excess of Acid Phosphoric, in the ailments dependent upon a want of nerve force and enfeebled digestive power, was fully demonstrated in the administration of the Compound Syrup of Phosphates (Chemical Food), manufactured by us forty years since for the late Dr. Samuei, Jackson, Professor University of Pennsylvania. These preparations are almost identical, based upon the same theory, and very similar in constituents. We still manufacture and sell largely Compound Syrup of the Phosphates, as suggested by Dr. Jackson, which was introduced to the medical faculty, not as a popular remedy, but as a nutritive tonic, well suited to supply the waste of elementary matter to the human system during the progress of chronic cases, particularly in dyspepsia, consumption and all wasting diseases. We refer to this, more especially, to call the attention of physicians to the fact how cer- tain valuable combinations are reproduced, although, sometimes, under other names. Medical men will appreciate the benefit of the careful and intelligent manufacture and manipulation of a formula of this kind, together with the great advantage of reasonable cost compared with the high price of like preparations, put up in a popular form for the public. Dr. Pepper says, in the Philadelphia Medical Times, August 14, 1880, referring to the above mixtures (both of which we manufacture, desig- nating the ingredients on each label) : 60 Kindly specify " WyETh's " when prescribing. " I have used these two solutions, lately, with very satisfactory results, and I incline to think they deserve an extended trial." They are frequently given with marked benefit in conjunction with Chloral and the Bromides, — lessening their objectionable effects and increasing their efficiency, — the Acid Phosphates being given during the day, and the Chloral or Bromides before bedtime, in cases of nervous debility with insomnia, such as are often found among the aged and those prostrated by long-continued sickness. Physicians will find these to be excellent vehicles for the admin- istration of Morphine, Quinine, Pepsin and all the class of remedies in which an excess of acid is requisite. By using one-half to one teaspoonful to a tumblerful of water, sweet- ened to the taste, a delicious and refreshing drink may be obtained, and one that will give the happiest relief in all cases of dyspepsia and loss of tone to the nervous system, induced by overwork and mental fatigue, and especially in the exhaustion attendant upon the excessive heat of summer or of tropical climates. In the preparation of Lemonade, these solutions can be substituted with advantage for Lemons or Lime Juice. Dose. — For adults, one-half to one teaspoonful, to be added to a wine- glassful or more of sweetened water, after each meal and before going to bed. Liquor ALTERATIVE COMP. This is a vegetable alterative, representing the therapeutic virtues of Sarsaparilla, Stillingia, Burdock, Poke Root and Prickly- Ash Bark, as recommended by Dr. J. Marion Sims, Dr. McDade and others in scrofu- lous and syphilitic diseases. It will be found to be a valuable vehicle for the administration of the Iodides where a combined effect is wanted of the mineral and vegetable alteratives. Dose. — The dose for an adult as an alterative for continued or progres- sive use (the only way in which alteratives are of benefit) is one teaspoon- ful in water three times a day, this dose to be increased to two, then three and four teaspoonfuls in the course of six to ten weeks, — i. e. gradually increase the dose to the point of toleration, which is to be determined in each particular case by the idiosyncrasies or susceptibilities of the patient. Liquor BISMUTH. Each fluidrachm contains 2 grains Bismuth and Ammonium Citrate. A reliable preparation for obtaining the sedative effects of Bismuth in stomach or bowel affections. Dose. — One or two teaspoonfuls. Liquor BISMUTH AND HYDRASTIS. A bland and aseptic solution of Bismuth Citrate in combination with White Alkaloid of Hydrastis Canadensis. This preparation is strongly indicated in the treatment of acute, sub- acute and chronic catarrhal inflammations of the mucous surfaces of the eye, respiratory tract, male urethra and female genital tract, in all of which it causes a subsidence of the irritation and inflammation. It is also useful in the treatment of gastric and intestinal inflammations. Dose. — Ten to thirty drops three or four times a day, or as directed by the attending physician. Kindly specify "WyETH'S" when prescribing. 61 Liquor DIASTASE COMP. Each fluidrachm contains Pepsin 1 grain Diastase 2 grains Amylopsin 1-2 grain Trypsin 1-2 grain Nitrohydrochloric Acid, C. P. 1-2 minim Nux Vomica 1-U grain The Amylopsin present possesses all the starch-digesting properties of Ptyalin, the secretion of the salivary glands. This preparation presents all of the gastric and pancreatic enzymes combined with Nux Vomica and Nitrohydrochloric Acid in pleasant and agreeable form, and will be found efficient in the treatment of all those disturbances of the digestive tract, whether gastric or intestinal, with which physicians have so frequently to contend. Dose. — For adults, one to two dessertspoonfuls, diluted with water, three or four times daily, preferably after meals. For children, in pro- portion. Liquor EUCALYPTUS COMP.— WYETH.

The extension of local methods in the treatment of diseases, both of systemic and local character, is a distinctive feature of modern thera- peutics. This particular development received its chief stimulus from those pathological doctrines which maintained the local character of most diseases, and of many which had long been held to rest on a constitutional basis. In this development of local methods, the use of Suppositories has grown pari passu with the necessities of practical therapeutics. We are convinced by multiplied evidence that this mode of applying remedies is capable of immense extension, as its advantages and utility are perceived. Suppositories satisfy all the requirements of a suitable topical method. They are neat, convenient and efficient. They can be readily adapted to the various canals and outlets, so situated as to be reached by local or topical means, and their use, as a rule, can be accomplished by the patient without skilled assistance. Suppositories may be prepared for a merely local action, for systemic effects, and for a combination of the two. They are especially efficient, locally, as compared with solutions, in that the action may be maintained at a uniform rate for a sufficient time. As compared with remedies which, introduced into the stomach, act after absorption, they have the advantage of a local impression in addition to the systemic effects. Thus, in the treatment of a nasal catarrh, the Suuppository employed for this purpose may have a local action on the diseased membrane and also an effect from the constitutional impression, the result of absorption. The effects of Suppositories comprehend a wide range of action. As regards the local, they may be anodyne, antiseptic, alterant and astrin- gent. As regards the systemic, they may be so compounded as to produce all of the effects of which medicaments may be .capable. The most superficial examination suffices to demonstrate their multiform applica- bility and their value as remedial agents. To indicate the range of their uses, it will be most convenient to classify them in groups. First. Anodyne. — In many instances, the stomach is either intoler- ant of narcotics or the patient has an invincible repugnance to taking them. Again, many anodynes act more efficiently by the rectum. This is the rule in inflammatory and painful affections of the abdominal organs, for as all of the veins of the abdomen — except the renal — unite to form the portal, it is obvious that a local as well as a systemic action is obtained from diffusible anodynes put into the rectum. As the phenomenon called pain has a complex mechanism, the reme- dies employed to relieve it are more effective when they act upon the periphery of the nerve as well as on the centre of conscious impressions. The mechanism of pain may be thus explained : The first element is the irritation of the end organs (peripheral expansion) or trunk of the nerve affected ; second, the transmission of the impulse thus originating to the centre where it is translated into consciousness ; third, the perception of the pain-sense ; and, fourth, its reference outwardly to the point of origin or to the periphery. An anodyne Suppository may act on the place of origin, on the lines of transmission and on the centre of conciousness of the pain-sense. An anodyne by the stomach only acts on the last mentioned — on the centre of consciousness. As by combination the efficiency of anodynes is increased, — the defects of one supplied by the action of another, — in preparing anodyne Supposi- tories they may be made to contain various agents. Among the most useful of these are formulae having the constituents indicated in the anodyne group. Second. Hypnotic. — As a rule, hypnotics act more favorably when Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 65 administered by trie rectum, and the most convenient form for adminis- tration is the Suppository. The practitioner has a large list from which to select. Some are prepared with, and others without, opium or mor- phine. When pain is the cause of wakefulness, no substitute for opium exists. When spasms are the source of pain — as, for example, after-pains — chloral becomes the most useful agent. The combination of opium and chloral is peculiarly efficient ; but as they aid each other's action, espe- cially on the respiratory centre, their conjoint administration requires prudence. The addition of belladonna confers on the combination of chloral and morphine increased powers, whilst it lessens the danger of cardiac and respiratory depression. The whole constitutes an hypnotic and analgesic combination of remarkable efficiency and is unequaled as a means of relief in cases of pain and wakefulness combined, especially when the former is the cause of the latter. The other hypnotic combinations are intended for wakefulness in cases in which opium and chloral are contraindicated, either in consequence of the nature of their powers or of idiosyncrasy on the part of the patient. They may prove of signal utility in cases of the insomnia of nervous affections and insanity and the lack of cerebral repose in acute diseases. We may mention, in illustration of the latter condition, the use of the hypnotic combination No. 60, composed of chloral, monobromide of camphor, and hyoscyamine, in the delirium and wakefulness of acute pneumonia. The rectal Suppository is advised in all cases requiring the anodyne and hypnotic combinations — even in pelvic pain and inflammation in- volving the uterus and its appendages; for, whilst absorption by the rectum may be as active as by the stomach— in the case of some remedies more so — by the vaginal mucous membrane, which closely approaches in structure the common integument, it is less so. In general, for the multiform applications of anodynes and hypnotics, rectal Suppositories are to be used. Exceptions to this rule will be indicated hereafter. For applications to other mucous surfaces — to the vagina, urethra, nares, fauces, auditory canal, etc. — various antiseptic, alterant and astringent Suppositories are required. The part acted by minute organisms — microbes, morbific germs— in the production of diseases is so important that topical applications con- taining antiseptics are among the most valuable remedial measures. Especially in catarrhal affections, common and specific, of the vagina, urethra and nares do we find antiseptic and astringent Suppositories unequaled in curative value. The advantages which they possess over solutions and other liquid preparations are : facility of application, thor- oughness and continuity of action. The foregoing statements, general in character, regarding the thera- peutical value of Suppositories will serve to indicate the conditions requiring them. To these special applications we now direct attention. Pursuing the subject in the same order, we will commence with the anodyne and hypnotic groups of remedial agents which may be applied, with the best results, in the form of Suppositories. In the various cerebral diseases requiring hypnotics and anodynes, the stomach is often in such an irritable condition as to be unable to retain remedies. Quite irrespective of the state of the stomach, however, Suppositories may be preferable. In acute meningitis, acute mania, maniacal delirium and delirium tremens, the stomach is either so irri- table as to reject medicines, or absorption by it of medicaments is so delayed or imperfect as to render their action uncertain, or the patient is in a mental condition which precludes swallowing. The hypodermic use of hypnotics and anodynes has been so often followed by disastrous over-action, or subsequently dangerous depression, that this mode of 66 Kindly specify " WyETh's " when prescribing. giving these remedies is embarrassed by apprehensions of calamity in some form ; hence, the comfort and safety of rectal Suppositories, which will accomplish the same objects without the danger of sudden exces- sive action or after-failure of vital organs. Furthermore, in these acute affections, the powers of life need support in the only mode in which it can be effectually rendered — by suitable nutriment. The stomach is already in a condition which interferes seriously with assimilation. When to this condition of the organs is added the depressing effects of the usual anodyne and narcotic medicines — their impression on the end-organs of tie nerves of the mucous membrane — it may be readily conceived how necessary it is to employ medicaments free from these serious consequences. By means of the hypnotic and anodyne combina- tions — represented in the formulae of the two groups — or other desired combination, administered by the rectum twice or thrice a day, the best effects of which these remedies are capable are produced without any of the hindrances and ill results with which their stomachal use is attended. Abundant clinical experience has now demonstrated that chloral espe- cially is far safer and more efficient by the rectum than by the stomach. If not so conspicuously better in action by the same channel, opium, at least to some extent, acts more kindly, whilst its positively depressing effect on the nerves of the stomach, and consequent interference with digestion, is thereby avoided. One of the great advantages possessed by the rectal Suppositories, in the acute affections above mentioned, is the manner in which the force potential in the remedies thus used is rendered actual. The force is not liberated suddenly, as when the hypodermic injection is practised, and expiring as suddenly as given out, but is evenly and continuously evolved, maintaining a uniform effect. In that large and important group of diseases in which wakefulness is due to pain or spasm, or both combined, the rectal use of some of the anodyne and hypnotic combinations offers us the best resource available. Neuralgia, from affections of nerves, and from functional disturbance of some organ — as ovarian neuralgia, dysmenorrhea, etc. ; the pain of inflammation of a serious membrane — as pleuritis and peritonitis ; the pain caused by the passage of a calculus — as hepatic and renal colic, — are all conditions in which the rectal Suppository is most efficient. Of all of these various states thus relieved, the best results are had from rectal Suppositories in abdominal and pelvic pain, inflammation and spasm. Even in the affections strictly limited to the uterus and its appendages, of a painful and inflammatory character, rectal Suppositories are greatly more efficient than vaginal. On the other hand, mere local lesions of the vaginal and uterine mucous membrane, requiring astringent or antiseptic medication, are best treated by Suppositories applied to the affected part. Probably the most important Suppositories are those for the local treatment of aural, nasal, faucial, rectal, urethral and vaginal affections. Aural. — The aural Suppository is adapted to the shape of the canal. The formula? include the usual remedies for the treatment of otorrhcea, polypi, eczema, etc. In the application of aural Suppositories the auditory canal is gently wiped dry with the cotton-wrapped probe, the Suppository is then care- fully inserted. The superiority of such an application over ordinary methods is quite obvious. All the world knows the dangers accompanying the use of the syringe — except in skilled hands. Nasai,. — What is true of aural is equally (even in a higher degree) true of nasal affections. In the nasal passage, more than in any other cavities and outlets of the body, are deposited morbific germs, the pollen of plants and other noxious substances contained in the respired air. Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 67 In accordance with the general law of etiology, the nasal mucous mem- brane, being most taxed in the performance of its functions, is most ready to yield to morbid actions. It is both the point of reception of disease-producing materials and the seat of localized morbid processes. Through the fifth nerve and its nucleus, the nasal mucous membrane has wide-spread associations with various organs, and is a link in the chain of numerous reflex disturbances. Nasal Suppositories offer an admirable resource in the treatment of various local and systemic affections. Catarrh, acute and chronic; ulceration, catarrhal and specific; polypus, asthma, hay fever, etc., are the most common of these. To get the best effects from nasal Suppositories the position of the patient must be such as to permit the medicament to come in contact with the affected mucous membrane. When the Suppository is placed in the anterior nares, the head should be inclined backward, the face uppermost, so that as the composition melts the materials flow over the whole surface. By means of properly prepared Suppositories, the agents found most effective in the treatment of diseases of the nasal passages can be applied by the patient with but occasional skilled assistance. After the Suppository has 'had time to act on the mucous membrane, and before another one is introduced, tepid salt solution can be used to cleanse the surface. Vaginai,. — It has already been pointed out that in the treatment of pelvic pain and inflammation, of conditions of disease which can be reached only by medicaments after absorption, rectal Suppositories are required. The vaginal mucous membrane does not have the structure to permit adequate absorption of medicaments applied to it. However, in morbid states of the vaginal and uterine mucous membrane, Suppositories perform a function which cannot be executed by any other form of topical application. The remedies applied to the vaginal mucous membrane may be antiseptic or germicide, astringent, alterative and anodyne. For specific catarrh, those Suppositories containing corrosive sublimate, iodo- form, the antiseptic oils, are especially effective. For simple catarrh, those containing tannin and iodoform, bismuth and tannin, hydrastis, acid boric, acid benzoic, copaiba, etc., will be found useful. Before the Suppository is placed in position, a hot-water or hot salt- solution douche should be taken, and also several hours after it has been introduced (allowing time for thorough action of the medicaments), the vaginal, canal should be well irrigated. By this means a clear surface is presented for the unobstructed action of the remedies used and the products of their action removed. In addition to the regular Cacao Butter Suppositories we supply Sup- positories composed of Boroglyceride, with sufficient gelatine to make them soft, pliable and soluble, without Cacao Butter or other oily ingre- dient. These have met with phenomenal success in the hands of most all physicians, and have almost replaced the Cacao Butter Suppositories. Boroglyceride (or, as it is frequently named, Glyco-Boron, Glyceryl- Borate or Glacralin) is composed of Acid Boric and Glycerine, which has been accepted and extensively used by the medical profession as one of the most satisfactory and valuable antiseptics. The antiseptic action of Boroglyceride is mild, safe and efficient, is accompanied by a relaxing and emollient effect, and. in this respect possesses a great superiority over many of the ordinary antiseptics, such as Iodoform, Acid Carbolic, etc. Prominent among its many advantages, including the above mentioned merits, are its cleanliness, freedom from odor, non-corrosiveness and from any tendency to excite or inflame the irritated or excoriated parts. Boroglyceride has also a most decided healing, soothing and curative action, particularly efficient as a remedy for drying up suppurating sur- faces. For the local treatment of the numerous diseases of the vagina 68 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. and uterus there is no other single agent or antiseptic that can be used with such uniformly good results. Combining this preparation with a slowly dissolving vehicle (gelatine, which is not oily), there is presented to the tender surfaces of the vagina a constant and prolonged contact, which is most desirable in the treat- ment of local diseases. Our Suppositories of Boroglyceride" are perfectly dry and pliable and easily inserted, the hygroscopic qualities of the Boroglyceride being com- pletely overcome. They are sufficiently firm to handle when administer- ing, while their soft and pliable condition prevents any injury to the parts while inserting or when in place. . It is almost superfluous for us to mention the many indications where this agent will be found invaluable to the practitioner, whose experience has amply justified all that is claimed for Boroglyceride. We only submit it in this form for its convenience, adaptability, cleanliness and ease of administration. It has been found peculiarly efficacious in the treatment of the following diseases of the uterus and vagina : vaginitis, leucorrhcea, uterine ulcerations, pruritus vulva, erosion of the cervix uteri, vaginal catarrh, inflammation of the genital organs. Urethral. — The chief obstacle to the successful treatment of urethral affections has been in the attempts to reach the affected surface. Before the advent of the modern topical methods the only route available was by the stomach, through the kidneys, into the urine ; and the remedies found most useful belonged to a group of which copaiba was the represent- ative. When the local origin and clinical characteristics of gonorrhoea came to be understood, topical treatment assumed greater importance, until at present the old stomachal remedies are but little used. Various kinds of medicated injections constitute the chief resources of the prac- tical therapeutist in the management of the various forms of urethritis, simple and specific. The obvious hindrances to the successful use of injections consist in the uncertainty as to the precise seat of the morbid action, in the complicated structure of the parts, in the protection to pathogenic organisms afforded by the folds and crypts of the mucous membrane, and in the transient, fugitive impression made on the disease by solutions injected. Properly prepared Suppositories obviate these hindrances for the most part and successfully combat the local morbid process. For specific urethritis or gonorrhoea those Suppositories containing the most active germicides are the most efficient — i.e. corrosive sublimate, iodoform, resorcin, thymol, etc. When we have to deal with a simple catarrhal process, tannin, iodotannin, iodoform and hydrastis are exam- ples of remedies which have a curative action. To achieve good results, it is essential that the medicament come in contact with the diseased part and every microbe. The cylindrical Suppository should be pushed down the canal until it rests in the diseased area, where it should remain undis- turbed until it has entirely melted. Both before and after the introduction of the Suppository, the urethra may be washed out with warm water or warm salt-solution. The Suppository and its remains should not be dis- turbed until all the effects of which it is capable are accomplished. Forms. — The size and shape of Suppositories are determined by the nature of the cavity to which applied. The doses of the medicaments are fixed by their character. Thus, remedies capable of absorption, as morphine and corrosive sublimate, must be apportioned as for stomachal administration, and those acting only locally may be used in any quantity, up to the capacity of the Suppository. The period of their administration is determined by the character of the medicaments and the nature of the case. As a rule, two or three times a day will be proper and necessary ; but, when the local action Kindly specify " WyETh's" when prescribing. 69 caused is considerable, it is best, generally speaking, to await the subsidence of the existing irritation before starting a new one. In the local treatment of catarrh this rule of practice is too often neglected, and a local action due to the medicament is confounded with the disease. The best time for administering a rectal Suppository, when the patient is not confined to the bed or to the house, is at night, on retiring. If bed-fast, they may be administered to the patient at any time, consist- ently with the state of the rectum. When the rectum is full of feces, it is necessary to empty it, and this may be readily accomplished by an enema of warm water. For convenience in ordering our Suppositories of the various forms and combinations, it is only necessary to specify the numbers. They are put up in neat wooden boxes, each containing twenty Sup- positories, and can be forwarded readily to any destination by mail or express. The list of formulae has been prepared with much care and research, having been submitted to several of our most eminent medical authorities, who have very cordially endorsed it, and to whom we are deeply indebted for many valuable suggestions as to doses and combinations. It embraces a great variety of formulae, adapted to almost every symptom or emer- gency, and the utmost care, exactness and scrupulous attention to detail, so essential in preparing a class of agents containing such potent reme- dies, are exercised in their manufacture. Each Suppository contains the exact amount of drug, thoroughly and evenly incorporated throughout the excipient, thus insuring the most prompt and effective action on the economy. 70 Kindly specify (< Wyeth's" when prescribing.

One of the No. i Capsules should be administered every fifteen min- utes for the first forty-eight hours when the patient is awake, unless there should occur too free evacuation of the bowels, when they should be temporarily stopped. At the beginning of the second twenty-four hours one of the No. 2 Capsules should be given every fifteen minutes, and both the No. i and No. 2 should be administered, unless a too copious diarrhoea is established, which would indicate the temporary cessation of the treatment ; however, as soon as the evacuations are under control, the capsules should be continued. In the beginning of the third or fourth day one of the No. 3 Capsules should be given every three or four hours, alternating with the other capsules. On or about the fourth or fifth day the No. 1 and No. 2 Capsules should be discontinued and copious doses of chlorate of potash should be administered every three or four hours for a day or two, as preventing the occurrence of ptyalism, after which the capsules should be given in sufficient doses to cause one or two evacua- tions daily.

Designed for the preservation and administration of remedies possess- ing pungent or oily properties or unpleasant to the taste. The process we employ is entirely new, and precludes the incorporation of air with the constituents, thus insuring against the oxidation of the contained medica- ment. Being prepared from the finest quality of pure gelatine, the Cap- sules will not become insoluble, but may be kept indefinitely in any climate or atmosphere, and may always be depended upon to preserve from injury the medicament enclosed. Their size, shape and freedom from unpleasant taste render them not only pleasing to the eye, but most acceptable to that class of patients to whom the administration of these remedies in other forms is objectionable.

ALL OF OUR HYPODERMIC TABLETS COMPRESSED WITHOUT FOREIGN ADMIXTURE, EXCEPT WHEN THE BULK OF THE MEDICAMENT IS LESS THAN ONE-TWELFTH OF A GRAIN. The first really successful effort to prepare Hypodermic Tablets was made by us at the suggestion of Dr. H. Augustus Wilson, of Philadel- phia. The paper read by him before the County Medical Society on this subject attracted considerable attention, which indicated the general feeling of the utility of such a preparation. Attempts had been made abroad to produce such tablets by the aid of gelatine or gelatinous exci- pients, but the resulting product did not appeal to the practical good sense of the medical profession and received but little encouragement. Having ingenious machinery, especially invented for the purpose, admi- rably adapted to the making of our Compressed Pills on an immense scale, we saw that, with slight modifications, this plant could also be util- ized to make the proposed Hypodermic Tablets in any number. The chief difficulty had been to find a vehicle or excipient free from objection. Owing to the minute quantity of an alkaloid that can be used hypoder- mically, it is obvious that there must be an excipient to combine with it to give the necessary form or bulk to the mass, and to possess the indis- pensable requisite of solubility. After numerous trials it was found that chemically pure milk-sugar answered the purpose more satisfactorily than any other that had been used or proposed. This can be compressed with any of the medicaments employed hypodermically, preserves the form given it, undergoes no change by prolonged keeping, is free from any local irritant action, makes no systemic impression, and is freely and entirely soluble in water. The utility of the Hypodermic Tablet is apparent at a glance. It is more convenient for stomachal administration than powder, solution or pill. It remains soluble and unchanged in composition for years. Dr. BarTholow informed us that some of the very first prepared by us, which we presented to him, Le found to be readily soluble after a number of years and as active as they were originally. It is quite impossible to preserve a solution so long in good condition, and the best made pill, in such a length of time, may become hard and insoluble : even the pure medicament may deteriorate by keeping. The Tablet is definite and accurate in dose. This is of great moment. The most serious mistakes have been made in the dose of hypodermic solutions. When such minute quantities as are dealt with in the admin- istration of alkaloids are prepared accuracy can be obtained only by sub- division of large amounts. It is also only by such machinery with which our laboratory is equipped that the necessary completeness of trituration and absolute accuracy of subdivision can be effected. When the Tablet is to be administered hypodermically, from ten to thirty minims fresh distilled water are poured over it in a spoon, and it is LOFC. ioo Kindly specify " WyETh'S " when prescribing. then broken up. In a few seconds, or minutes at most, a perfect solution will be effected. The process of solution is much facilitated by heating the spoon gently over the gas, lamp or candle. It is always safer in preparing a hypodermic solution to raise the temperature of the water in which the medicament is dissolved to or near the boiling point. In this way any organic matter or organisms in the water will be destroyed. Many of the unpleasant local accidents which have been caused by sub- cutaneous injections were due to the use of distilled water. If not fresh when used for making solutions, it will be found on examination to be full of a minute vegetable growth, which is very apt to cause trouble. Rain water also does very well if previously boiled. It must be an exceed- ingly rare event when there is not time to heat the water in a spoon over a candle before making the solution or before injecting. The operator must take pains to effect a perfect solution : sufficient mechanical agitation and trituration will do this, but it is more certainly accomplished by heating. We strongly advise all who have occasion to use hypodermic injections, whether with our Tablets or not, to heat the water in making the solution before administering it. Thus, by the use of our Hypodermic Tablets, without risk as to dose, and without any previous troublesome manipulation, afresh solution can be at once made, and there can be none of those organisms present which cause so much mischief when ordinary solutions of alkaloids are administered hypodermically. One of the most vexed questions at the present time is the best means of making hypodermic solutions sterile, — that is, free from the penicillum ; but, as already explained, all this annoyance is obviated by the use of our Tablets. When for internal administration an alkaloid is to be employed, by giving a tablet the proper dose is assured, and the medicament is so perfectly triturated and soluble that the best effects of which the remedy is capable can certainly be produced. The combinations of alkaloids in some of the formulae are so made as to secure the results of antagonistic action in respect to certain im- mediate and remote effects of an unpleasant or dangerous character. By the coincident use of Tablets of different constituents effects antagonistic and synergistic can be produced at the pleasure of the operator. The most conspicuous example of the adaptation of physiological antagonism to practical therapy is that of Morphine and Atropine; whilst these agents, combined, act most agreeably and efficiently in the relief of pain and to procure sleep, they antagonize each other at the point of danger : the failure of the respiration and circulation caused by Morphine is opposed by the action of Atropine in stimulating both these functions. The depressing effect of Pilocarpine is promptly and entirely overcome by Atropine, and hence, after the administration of the former, should dangerous symptoms arise, they can be speedily removed by the hypo- dermic injection of the latter. Again, in giving Cocaine, very threatening Symptoms may occur from a suitable dose in certain subjects having a peculiar susceptibility to its action, but the physician provided with the Tablets has it in his power to quickly remove the danger by giving a small dose of Morphine. Examples of such antagonism are now very numerous and have proved in a high degree useful. In the preparation of Tablets, as a rule, only alkaloids or active prin- ciples, or, at least, medicines active in small quantity, can be used. It must, therefore, be understood that the minimum doses only are proper at the outset, or until the patient's physiological capabilities are known.

Wood, of Chicago, we experimented and considered the feasibility of preparing a series of Ophthalmic Discs for the convenient, extemporaneous and effi- cient treatment of all the various affections of the eye. We believe Dr. Wood's attention was primarily directed to us by the perfection we had attained in the manufacture of our Compressed Hypo- dermic Tablets, which led him to suggest our manufacturing a series of compressed discs containing all the medicaments ordinarily used in ophthalmic practice. It is a source of great gratification to us that we finally succeeded in meeting all the exacting requirements of this eminent oculist, and feel assured from his commendations that we offer to the medical profession an adjunct to their armamentarium that for marvelous accuracy, perfection in manufacture and practical utility cannot be surpassed. We are under great obligations to Dr. Wood for his originating the idea, his suggestions and counsel in every stage of the endless experi- ments necessary to attain the perfection, accuracy and exactness, which we feel satisfied every practitioner will recognize. They are put up in bone boxes, with screw top, each containing fifty discs, and for the convenience of the trade are sold in cartons of ten boxes each. Note. — Numbers indicated thus (*) are made of gelatine, and owing to their hygroscopic character are supplied in glass tubes instead of bone boxes. Numbers indicated thus (f) we are prepared to supply either compressed or made of gelatine. Complete copies of Dr. Wood's original writings on the use oj these Discs in ophthalmology will be sent on application. LIST OF COMPRESSED No. 301. Atropine Sulphate . . . 1-2500 gr. No. 302.

DISPENSARY TABLETS. In response to a considerable demand, we now offer the following list of Dispensary Tablets, designed for accurate subdivision of dosage at the prescription counter, and weighed and prepared with that same care which characterizes all operations in our laboratories, thus affording pharmacists a convenience in dispensing and insuring accuracy in dose. As a cautionary measure we are offering these tablets, all of which contain poisonous doses of the various drugs, in a bottle especially devised for the purpose and of a design calculated to at once attract the attention of the physician and druggist to their unusual character.

It is scarcely necessary for us to state that our compressed preparations have met with phenomenal favor since introduced by us to medical men. Wherever physicians have thoroughly tested their comparative solubility with the ordinary pills prepared impromptu by the apothecary or by other manufacturers, they have been satisfied that all we say in their favor is deserved. Our process is by dry compression, no moisture being added. The ordinary manufacture of round and ovoid pills must entail the addi- tion of moisture and excipient to make the mass for division, the inherent moisture rendering the pill hard when dry. Aside from the above facts, the precision, accuracy of weight and beauty of finish, with the greater readiness with which our pills may be swallowed, embody advantages that we cannot overrate. These facts better illustrate our statemeuts as to the almost universal adoption of Compressed Pills by the medical profession, not only in this country but in Europe, and we feel that in manufacturing and advocating the claims of Compressed Pills we have done a real service to pharmacy and to the administration of medicine. We offer many of these pills with sugar coating ; and as a precaution, and to avoid all possible danger, the coating will be colored red on all of our pills containing very potent and active poisonous ingredients, such as Strychnine, Arsenic, Digitaline, Morphine, etc. CHOCOLATE-COATED COMPRESSED TABLETS. (compressed piias) We trust the introduction of a line of Chocolate-coated Compressed Tablets (Compressed Pills) will meet with the same favor that has been accorded to our Plain and Sugar-coated Compressed Pills, and which we do not hesitate to claim as one of the greatest advances in pharmacy of the age and a distinct innovation in the manufacture of pills. As no excipient enters into their composition, they do not become hard by age and are less liable to be affected by any climate influences. Their lenticular shape renders them much easier to swallow than the ordinary round pills. In fact, they offer so many decided advantages they must commend them- selves to every practitioner. COMPRESSED TABLET TRITURATES. All that has been said with reference to Compressed Powders (or Pills) applies as well to our Tablet Triturates, which, as will be noted, in many instances are of the same medication and dose as the Pills (Tablets) , but, being triturated with milk-sugar, are always to be preferred as being more efficient than the medicament itself when exhibited in the original state. Our Triturates are absolutely exact and keep indefinitely with little ii2 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. or no danger of loss ; they are convenient for administration, and, when more minute doses are required for infants, the Tablets may be reduced to a fine powder by simply crushing with a knife or the thumb-nail. Triturates, to be valuable therapeutically, must be made in accord- ance with certain well defined processes : they must contain the precise quantity of the medicament and must be accurate in dose ; they must be genuine mixtures — i. e. , the medicinal agent must be uniformly distributed through the whole mass ; they must be firm enough to retain their form, yet sufficiently friable to be reduced to a powder when moderate pressure is applied, and where the medicament is a soluble substance its solubility must be preserved. Having an extensive plant, designed expressly for the preparation of Compressed Pills, Tablet Triturates, etc., we claim, with the utmost confi- dence, that our Tablets conform to the most exacting standard of excel- lence and embody all of the essential qualities described. To effect a thorough admixture of the medicament with the vehicle or excipient — to insure that only the true dose is contained in the Tablets and that all are uniform in size and weight — can only be accomplished when the laboratory is equipped with the most complete appliances and when the closest attention is given to every detail .of the manipulation, and in addition to these essentials of the mechanical process the whole must be supervised and directed by the best practical experience and highest commercial integrity. The completeness of our laboratory equipment and the reputation gained for our preparations are guarantees that our claims will be amply sustained and that our products will bear the closest scrutiny. GELATINE-COATED PILLS. OVIFORM AND ROUND. Yielding to the general demand, we have equipped with all modern and improved appliances a complete laboratory for the production of Gelatine-coated oviform and round Mass Pills, of which, as will be noted in the following list, we have added to our stock a complete line. The process we employ insures that the pill mass shall be both homogeneous and of ready solubility, and our method of applying the gelatine enables us to produce a gelatine-coated pill free from the needle-hole which has always proven so-objectionable where the older methods have been em- ployed, thus insuring the complete preservation of the pill from atmos- pheric influences ; and in contrast with pills made and coated by the older process, our Gelatine-coated Pills will remain moist and in perfectly soluble condition for an indefinite period. The gelatine we employ is of superior quality, and, the coating being entirely transparent, we would suggest that our Gelatine-coated Pills be not exposed to strong sunlight, as otherwise discoloration or oxidation may occur where the mass consists wholly or in part of any of the more sensitive drugs or chemicals. Note;. — For the greater convenience of physicians, we have arranged under one heading, in alphabetical order, our lists of Compressed Tablets, plain and sugar-coated, Compressed Chocolate-coated Tablets, Compressed Tablet Triturates, and Gelatine-coated Pills ; and as facilitating their iden- tification, we are affixing each formula with numbers signifying the different forms in which the combination is offered : No. I as a Plain Tablet. No. 2 as a Sugar-coated Tablet. No. 3 as a Chocolate-coated Tablet. No. 4 as a Tablet Triturate. No. 5 as a Gelatine-coated Pill. Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 113 For example, the numbers 1, 3 and 5 before a certain formula signify that the formula is offered as a Plain and Chocolate-coated Tablet and Gela- tine-coated Pill. We feel this arrangement will prove more satisfactory to the physician in referring to the ' ' Epitome ; ' ' but kindly note the numbers must not, under any circumstances, be utilized when ordering, but each preparation should be specified under its proper title as listed in our regular Price Iyist.

This remedy is a congener of Antipyrine, equally effective as an anodyne, and far more powerful as an antipyretic, although at the same time less free from danger, owing to its destructive action upon the blood. Combined with Caffeine, this action is measur- ably overcome, and by the addition of chemically pure Sodium Bicarbonate it is rendered more readily soluble. Effects are more prompt because of the perfect distribution of the drug throughout the system. To make certain that untoward effects will not attend the exhi- bition of medicinal doses, all Acetanilid combinations should be thoroughly dissolved in hot water, the solution being allowed to cool before swallowing. The concurrent administration of Quinine Bisulphate lessens the dangers from Acetanilid and likewise produces a more favor- able effect upon the course and manifestations of the disease. The dose for children ranges from one-half to two grains, and that for adults from two to five grains, repeated at intervals of from one to three hours. Acetaniud Arom.

Notwithstanding the unfavorable reports which have been cir- culated concerning the dangers of Antipyrine, there is no doubt of its utility in influenza, provided, of course, it be given under proper conditions and restrictions. As it produces cyanosis, due to its destructive action upon the blood corpuscles, Antipyrine must be exhibited within certain limits, safety being the cardinal object. By its use, it is claimed, high temperature is reduced several degrees ; and in moderate doses — five to ten grains — it is said to be an excellent analgesic, allaying pain and thus favoring sleep, which is a most efficient restorative. It is clearly indicated, therefore, in this disease for its antipyretic and anodyne effect, although it cannot be said to have any influence over the course of the malady. Given in large doses to ' ' flabby ' ' people, or to persons suffering from degenerative changes, especially arterial, it is liable to produce untoward symptoms ; but other drugs can be given to counteract this effect. The dose ranges from five to ten, twenty or even thirty grains, repeated at intervals of from one to four hours, not more than a drachm to be given within four consecutive hours. ANTIPYRINE AND QuiN.

Combined with Quinine, the therapeutic properties of Antipy- rine are augmented, while the dangers are materially lessened, Quinine in medicinal doses being antipyretic as well as cardiac and cerebral stimulant. The addition of Caffeine may also prove serviceable, the latter being an efficient regulator of the vaso-motor system, a cerebral excitant and, to a moderate extent, diuretic. Its disadvantages are that it produces wakefulness and ultimately leads to derangement of the hepatic function. One to two every two hours. Antipyrine and Sodium Saucyl.

[^Quinine Sulphate 1-U gr. For rhinitis, or cold in the head, coryza, or nasal cold. Rhinitis, or cold in the head, is of frequent occurrence in winter, almost every individual suffering more or less from it ; and though the disease is usually slight, it may be the preliminary stage of more serious laryngeal and bronchial affections, extending by con- tinuity of tissue or by the development of minute organisms. The tablets that we now offer as a remedy are effective when the cold or inflammation of the mucous membrane of the nose and throat has developed the characteristic symptoms of redness, swelling and profuse watery discharge with sneezing, and will abort a threatened cold if taken in time. To abort a cold, the tablets may be taken at first at short intervals — a quarter of an hour — until three or four have been taken, when they should be used less frequently. It is well to begin their use as soon as the patient is conscious of the preliminary dry and painful inflammation of the nose and throat that marks the onset of a cold. To relieve the congestion of the capillaries or superficial vessels of the nasal mucous membrane that gives rise to the feeling of having "caught cold," Quinine and Camphor are the most efficient remedies. The addition of the fluid extract of Belladonna is intended to check the profuse catarrh and sneezing which soon appear in a cold, Belladonna having the well known property of promptly suppressing undue secretion in the nasal passages.

The cordial endorsement given by medical men to our Compressed Pills (Tablets) and Tablet Triturates induced us to offer a number of formulae as Compressed Lozenges, which, however, should not be con- fused with the numerous confections and pasty mixtures so much in vogue at one time. Our Lozenges are intended strictly and exclusively for medicinal purposes. They embrace all those authorized by the United States Pharmacopceia, the British Pharmacopoeia, the London Hospital for Diseases of the Throat (formulae suggested by Sir Morell Mackenzie) and a nnmber of unofficial but popular combinations that have long been recognized by the profession as standard remedial agents. Our long experience in manufacturing this class of products, and the perfection of our machinery, enable us to produce a Lozenge of exact weight, accuracy of dose, beauty of finish and thorough comminution of the active medicinal ingredients. As Lozenges are used ad libitum, we do not undertake to suggest definite doses excepting in a few instances. OFFICIAL LOZENGES OF THE UNITED STATES PHARMACOPCEIA. (TROCHISCI, U. S. P.)

At a meeting of the State Medical Society of Pennsylvania, held at Titusville, Pa., in May, 1882, a paper was read by Dr. Charles S. Turnbu^i,, of Philadelphia, entitled, "Powdered Acid Boric in the Treatment of Chronic Purulent Inflammation of the Middle Ear (Otor- rhcea) ," from which we quote : "A most gratifying experience in the use of powdered acid boric in the treatment of chronic purulent inflammation of the tympanal mucous membrane, the constant symptom of which is otorrhoea, has induced me to consider the antiseptic, or what might be more accurately termed the dry method of treatment. The marked success that I have met with induces me to advocate its use in this most frequent form (in this country) of aural disease. "Anything new in therapeutics, especially as a means of combating that most frequent of aural symptoms, 'otorrhcea,' must call for imme- diate and specific attention, not only on account of its practical worth, but also for the greater power it gives every physician to control — yes, cure — what hitherto has been generally considered an incurable (symptom of a) disease of the middle ear. " Chronic purulent inflammation of the middle ear continues its work of destruction year in and year out, gradually corroding the contents of the middle ear and seriously compromising the functions of its appen- dages. Upon these delicate parts, covered by an inflamed or ulcerated mucous membrane (which, it must be remembered, acts the part of the periosteum), all sorts of foreign material collect, and these, with the 13 194 Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. added irritation from fermenting discharges (caused by the high tempera- ture of the parts, collections of bacteria, etc.) , increase the fire of inflam- mation, which burns fiercely, and the mucous membrane, in defence of itself, pours out a copious secretion. "To remedy these affections general surgery has done little, so that in many instances medical men are glad to get rid of ' patients with running ears,' and this, added to the prejudices in the minds of the community at large, and in some of the profession, too, as to the injurious effect of healing or ' drying up,' as it is termed, discharges from the ear, has caused this affection, through ignorance or apathy, to be much neglected. " Bezoi,d conceived the idea that acid boric had failed on account of the powder used. He therefore procured acid boric in an impalpable powder and, when he began packing the meatus tightly with it, obtained excellent results. "Since Bezold's paper, Buckner speaks highly of the powdered acid in the otorrhceas, and Dr. J. O. Green also recommended Bezoi,d's treatment, which he had used extensively in the meantime. " From that time to the present, with but few exceptions, the treat- ment recommended by Bezoijj and Green was given a trial ; but, although Pomtzer, of Vienna, recommended it highly, and Casseli^S, of Glasgow, did the same thing, no one was satisfied that the plan of treatment was particularly efficacious or to be preferred to many others. "The great mistake, as I have discovered, was in the fact of many experimenters not having observed Bezoi,d's instructions — namely, that the acid boric must be nicely powdered. ' ' The ear is not to be syringed at all ; it should be cleansed with absorbent cotton. "According to the character of the intratympanal secretion am I guided in the introduction of the antiseptic powder ; hence especial note must be made of the exact variety of the discharge as regards color, odor, consistency, etc. "As the cleansing procedure is more or less apt to provoke reflex coughing, it must be gently and carefully done ; in fact, the successful treatment of any case greatly depends upon the method of cleansing the meatus. If it be carelessly done, more discharge is provoked, and an artificial eczema, aggravated by the powder used, defeats the objects sought by a thorough cleansing. The powder is to be poured into the speculum ad libitum. A little will drop through, but the bulk of the powder will remain in the speculum, and this will require displacing and packing. To hold the speculum still and pack down the powder without causing pain from the edges of the speculum is no easy procedure. Force cannot be employed because by the pressure the edges of the speculum will cut; then, too, and suddenly, the mass moves, and whatever is used to thrust it down is apt to impinge, with more or less force, upon the delicate parts beneath. I use a thin steel probe with the point (about one line) bent at a right angle, and whilst the auricle and speculum are held immovable, the parts being illuminated with the head mirror (the head of patient unmoved from first position) , I hug the inside wall of the speculum, and so can always tell when I am down to its lower orifice. As the powder is filled into the meatus through the speculum, it is packed, layer upon layer, not tightly but firmly; rceanwhile, I gradually with- draw the speculum until it reaches the mouth of the meatus. Here I insert a light pledget of cotton, only to be worn for six or eight hours (until bedtime) , and then to be withdrawn and not again introduced. " My directions to my patients are to permit, in fact, endeavor to have, all the powder possible remain within the meatus. If any moisture be felt, sop (that is, wipe by pressing) the mass, and soak out the discharge with absorbent cotton or dry thin linen, but do not disturb the powder. Kindly specify "Wyeth'S" when prescribing. 195 From the moment this agent is used all odor, even from the most fetid discharges, ceases, and, unless the discharge be extraordinarily profuse, never returns. No reaction ensues if filled- into the meatus as I have directed. " Of course, the mechanical deafness caused by the foreign mass in the meatus was sometimes complained of, but this was gladly endured when explained as only of a temporary nature. "Oftentimes one packing was enough. In other cases the packed powder was washed out, by discharge, in a few days ; but I persevered, and have always been rewarded for my trouble in filling and repacking. If the discharge ceases and leaves a hardened mass or powder, etc., filling the meatus, it must be removed, but not by force nor by syringing. It must be softened by the instillation of warm fluid cosmoline (petroleol) , which has the charming recommendation of not becoming rancid by heat, etc. I have been compelled to require my patients for whom the powdered acid boric has been prescribed to bring with them the substance procured for inspection, since druggists, as a rule, unless according to special agreement, dispense a powder, so called, composed for the greater part of crystals of the acid. "When properly powdered, no particles can be felt, and in dipping the finger into such a mass the sensation can hardly be said to be that of touch ; the impression is that of powdered soapstone, such as is used by glove- and shoemakers." ALKA-THYPTOL. (LIQUOR EUCALYPTUS COMP.— ALKALINE.) This preparation represents the purified active principles of Eucalyp- tus, Mentha Arvensis, Thyme, Gaultheria, in combination with Sodium Biborate, Sodium Benzoate and Glycerine. Alka-Thyptol is intended solely for the convenience and use of the physician, surgeon, dentist and all specialists, and, being of an alkaline reaction, it is particularly adapted to meet the requirements of those physicians engaged in nose and throat work as a specialty. The indications for Alka-Thyptol are the same as for Thyptol, as the two preparations are similar, with the exception that the Alka-Thyptol is alkaline, while the Thyptol is acid. AMYLOPSIN— ANIMAL DIASTASE. Possibly no form of indigestion has proved more troublesome or more common than that known as amylaceous dyspepsia, arising from an inability to digest the starchy elements of food, and which is not relieved by any of the various preparations of pepsin, the physician requiring in such cases an agent acting directly upon the excess of starchy matter, the most effective form of which agent is to be found in the starch-converting ferment of the pancreatic juice obtained from the pig and other domestic animals. This principle, known as Animal Diastase (Amylopsin) , which we have succeeded in isolating and offer to the medical profession in an available form, promises to occupy a most important place in physiologic medication, as it acts exclusively upon amylaceous substances and is the substance provided by nature for the purpose of digesting starch, and when properly prepared and purified, as with our product, will con- vert the starchy portions of food (bread, potatoes, etc.) into sugar and 196 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. dextrine, which are readily soluble and consequently in a form capable of being immediately assimilated. Hyperacidity of the digestive tract is a common condition, depending largely upon the character of food taken and following an excessive pro- portion of carbohydrates, resulting in the presence in the system of a superabundance of acids — lactic, acetic, succinic — together with ethylic alcohol; but as it is not advisable, except in rare instances, that these carbohydrates should be eliminated from the dietary, the physician is confronted with the necessity of supplying a medicament which shall aid in converting and preparing this excess of carbohydrates for assimilation, and with this Animal Diastase, or Amylopsin, at hand the patient may be given starchy food products in moderation, with a reasonable assurance of decided benefit, and that little difficulty will be experienced in the way of intestinal or amylaceous indigestion. While Diastase has been exploited in various forms, and this product (Amylopsin) resembles in many respects that form obtained from barley, Animal Diastase will be found infinitely preferable for administration on account of its animal origin and the fact that its amyloptic activity remains unimpaired by age, while Vegetable Diastase, unless, recently prepared, is of uncertain value. For convenience of administration , we have prepared Animal Diastase in the form of Powder-Capsules of two and one-half and five grains each and in tablets of two grains each, a dose of which will give almost imme- diate relief from that discomfort frequently experienced after eating hot biscuits, cakes, waffles, etc. , and should be taken immediately after meals ; for children, one-half this quantity should be given. One-half a tablet, crushed and mixed with a small quantity of water or milk, will be found of great service to infants being fed upon the various infant foods so largely used, nearly all of which contain large quantities of starch and are difficult of digestion in certain cases, the Amylopsin to be added only when there is evidence that a portion of the food has remained undigested. ANTI-RHEUMATIC TABLETS (Effervescing). (potassium and wthium salicylates) 1 Each tablet contains 3 1-2 grains of the combined salts in proper proportions. The excellence of acid salicylic and the salicylates as remedies for gout and rheumatism — as antipyretics and anodynes — is now so well established that they are almost universally held to be specifics. But the use of these medicaments (especially acid salicylic) in suitable doses has hitherto not been free, in a certain number of cases, from effects unpleas- ant enough in very delicate subjects to render any adequate treatment by such means impracticable, or at least disagreeable. It is true that these effects (ringing in the ears, gastric disturbances) are chiefly the result of the use of acid salicylic alone. The salts are not nearly so objectionable in this regard except in a very few cases, where there must be unusual susceptibility. They have, besides, some merits which the acid does not possess, are milder in action with as much power, seeming to combine the strength of a specific remedy with the agreeable properties of the alkaline elements. 1 Copyrighted, 1897, by John Wyeth & Brother, Philadelphia, Pa. Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 197 In these effervescing tablets we have, we believe, adopted a means of minimizing the objection just referred to. Acid carbonic, which is an ingredient of their composition, has a sedative influence upon the diges- tive organs. It renders the assimilation of these salts easy and effective, and controls the irritant action of any portion of acid salicylic set free during digestion by neutralizing an excess. This excess is to be avoided, if possible, for it is almost certain that the ringing in the ears is directly caused by too large quantities of acid salicylic entering the blood current in a short space of time and finding their way to the auditory centres. It is, however, not solely on this account that we have thought it best to unite the salicylates, in an effervescing mixture, with acid carbonic. A tablet so prepared, dropped in a little water, effervesces briskly, making a sparkling draught that, besides possessing the various useful properties just mentioned, is easy for the most susceptible to take. In this way, too, the dosage (always a matter of precision if good results with the salicy- lates are to be certain) can be conveniently and exactly regulated. In rheumatism and gout two of these tablets should be given every two hours. In cases of fever and pain it is best to take several at the very beginning of the attack, or one at short intervals, until the trouble sub- sides. It is well known, of course, that to prevent relapses in acute rheumatism the remedy must not be at once discontinued when the joint affection ceases, but should be given continuously for several days until the possibility of a recurrence of the malady is over. As regards the value of the salicylates in gout and rheumatism, med- ical men are practically of one opinion. " It would be superfluous," says Prof. VuivPiAN, of Paris, in his "Essais" on these salts, "to add that they are efficacious in acute articular rheumatism and in gout, as there is complete unanimity on this point among physicians." {Bull, de Thera- peutique, t. c, p. 97.) Another high authority says, "Stricker, having first proclaimed the specific powers of acid salicylic in rheumatism, was immediately supported by the concurrent opinions of other physicians " — Leonhardi-Aster, Baelz, Cavafy, Talfourd Jones, Clark, of New York — all of whom signalized the remarkable action of this medicament in rheumatic and gouty affections. With regard to the sodium salicylate, the facts reported by SEE, Oui,mont, Hardy, Jaccoud, Gueneau de Mussy and numerous others are absolutely unchallenged. The rapid and almost certain action of this salt in relieving the pain of rheumatism, the disease of the joints, renders its power indisputable. This remedy is a specific for acute articular rheumatism. (Dujardin-Beaumetz, Did. de Therapeutique, t. iv, p. 513.) Lastly, their opinions are shared by the greatest names in contemporary medical science— by Senator {Berliner kl. Wochenschrift, 1875, P- 460) , Schmiedeberg {Arzneimittellehre, p. 120) , Brunton {Pharmacology and Therapeutics, p. 629) , Strumpeli, {Practice, p. 908). The remarkable efficacy, in truth, of the salicylates is not alone due to their power to reduce fever and allay pain, but to a property, possessed more especially by these salts and the iodides, of rapidly finding their way into the tissues and fluid and serous cavities (joints, pleura, perito- neum) , so that the disease, if it be in such parts, is attacked in its most intricate recesses. In truth, soon after the dose is taken, it is possible to find a large portion of it in the fluid and tissues of the joints and pleura, a fact conclusively demonstrated by Leuch {Centralblatt fur kl. Medicin, 1890, p. 833) and by Prof. Rosenbach {Berliner kl. Wochenschrift, 1890, p. 813). This is a fortunate property, for rheumatism, as nobody doubts to-day, is a zymotic disease, that is, caused by a germ ; and in order to extirpate such a malady from the system it is necessary to bring the dis- ease and its remedy into intimate contact. According to Prof. VuivPiAN, the salicylates, without being strictly speaking antiseptics, possess some 198 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. especial power in destroying the rheumatic poison, though it is not known on what properties this power depends. The fact, however, as Prof. Senator says, is well established in practice. (Loc. cit., p. 461.) The various salicylates have much the same properties one as another, except that the Lithium salt seems to succeed better in old cases of rheumatism and in gonorrhceal rheumatism, a very troublesome form. {Comptes- rendus de V Acad., 1886.). Prof. SEE succeeded with these salts in that most obstinate rheumatic affection, rheumatoid arthritis difformans, which, as has been shown recently, has its peculiar germ. {Bull, de V Acad.de Med., t. xlii, p. 736.) He, as well as others, likewise tried them successfully in acute inflammatory rheumatism, in lumbago (in which they are admirable remedies) , in chorea, gout, acute and chronic neuralgia of various kinds, and in cystitis. His conclusions are as follows : 1. The cessation of pain in rheumatic inflammation took place in from ten to twelve hours, this phenomenon being constant. 2. In the joints the disease yields in from one to three days. 3. Movement in the limbs returns on the third day. 4. The fever diminishes with the pain. The febrifuge properties of the salicylates are very remarkable. Hence their successful use not only in acute rheumatism, but in general fevers as well— typhoid, intermittent, the hectic of phthisis, etc. Senator reports fifty cases of the last kind, in which a salicylate did distinct good. In ten cases of intermittent fever he obtained even better results. The salicylates are well borne by children and have been successfully tried in the intermittent of childhood by Zielewicz, who reports two hundred and fifty cases. {Deutsche Med. Wochenschrift, 41, 1879.) In addition to their febrifuge properties the salicylates facilitate the excretion of bile and render it of thinner consistence. They tend, there- fore, to prevent the formation of gall-stones. They have been used advantageously by Dr. Sabocedo, of Havana, in yellow fever. As they likewise prevent the excretion of sugar by the liver, they are often of great value in diabetes. {Union Medicate, 1881 ; Haig, St. Bartholomew's Hospital Reports, 1889.) In relieving pain the salicylates are not only efficient but safe. Prof. SEE has employed them with marked success in the pains of locomotor ataxia. They are very useful in migraine (BrunTOn), in neuralgia, in sciatica and tic douloureux. They have also been recommended by two eminent gynaecologists — BaTELLE and SabaTouski — in dysmenorrhcea, an affection in which, a priori, they might be supposed efficacious. The lithium salicylate, besides being as efficacious in gout and rheu- matism as the other salicylates, is particularly valuable in catarrh of the urinary organs. In these cases it has a marked effect in diminishing the fetidity of the urine, in relieving pain, and in increasing the excretion of nitrogenous products. In gout it is eminently indicated in cases where the attacks are presumably due to a condition of" this kind, to the so-called uric-acid diathesis, or the tendency on the part of the organism to accu- mulate nitrogen in excessive quantities in the blood. In cases of rheu- matism of an obstinate type the lithium salicylate is believed by Prof. Vui L grains Potassium Hypophosphite U grains Beechwood Creosote 2 minims Dose. — For an adult, one tablespoonful immediately before or after each meal.

Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing . 219 COD LIVER OIL EMULSION WITH LIME PHOSPHATE, Each fiuidounce contains eight grains Lime Phosphate. We earnestly invite the attention of physicians to this article — which will be found to answer a most important purpose— as a remedy in the large class of wasting diseases. One of the principal features in all these affections is the impairment or perversion of nutrition, the too rapid tissue transformation, and the want of certain substances essential to the organism. Especially is this manifest in the typical forms : scrofula in children, pulmonary complaints in adults. In these disorders, Cod L,iver Oil acts as a fuel, maintaining animal heat. By adding to it the lime phosphate, we supply not only a tonic to the nervous system, but an important ingredient to other tissues of the body. When there is an actual tuberculous deposit, this article promotes its most favorable results : cretefaction. Children and invalids, however fastidious, can take, without difficulty, our Cod Liver Oil prepared in the form of an emulsion, being pleasantly flavored and perfectly disguised ; but physicians will readily understand that the real reason why delicate persons can digest our Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil is that the oily particles are, without chemical change, broken up and incorporated with an agreeable solution used as a vehicle in the process 0/ manufacture. The molecular condition of the oil is entirely changed ; and it is, in consequence, more quickly and readily digested. We therefore feel the utmost confidence that this remedy will not disappoint the expectations of those who employ it, and we offer it as a valuable addition to the resources of the profession against the disorders which are, in this country, the most numerous and the most formidable which they are called upon to combat. Dose. — For adults, one dessertspoonful, to be increased to one table- spoonful. For children, in proportion to age. The bottle should be well shaken before giving each dose. COD LIVER OIL— PURE. Expressed and refined from fresh and selected cod livers. This oil is neither vitiated, oxidized, medicated nor adulterated. Dose. — For an adult, one-half to two tablespoonfuls, to be taken with wine, milk or a pinch of salt. Repeat two or three times a day. COLLYRIUM. The use of an antiseptic eye-lotion is of great benefit to all persons suffering from congestion or redness of the eyes caused by using them for near work over a prolonged period, this in turn causing such annoying symptoms as intolerable itching and desire on the part of patient to con- tinuously rub the eyes. They feel dry, hot and sandy ; bright light causes discomfort, the tears sometimes running over the cheeks. The mild, stimulating and astringent properties of this lotion will, with the exercise of such care as the physician directs, cause a subsidence of inflammation of the delicate structure of the eyes and lids, allay the itching, produce a cool and soothing effect, remove all redness and congestion, thereby restoring the parts to their former healthy condition. The application of the lotion two or three times will best demonstrate 220 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. its effectiveness in acute and chronic catarrhal conjunctivitis or allied dis- eases, lessening almost immediately the annoying itching and burning sensations with -which they are associated. This eye-lotion may be used slightly warmed or at the ordinary temperature. It is necessary, however, that it penetrate freely over the eyeball and under the lids. For this purpose an eye-cup should be half filled with the lotion and inverted over the eye for several minutes, or, if desirable, a piece of absorbent cotton or ordinary linen may be saturated, pressing out the liquid over the eye. The treatment may be repeated every half hour, or as frequently as may seem advisable, without fear of giving rise to any complication. To insure the lotion being brought in contact with every portion of the eye, the lower lid may be drawn down during its application. Collyrium — Wyeth, aside from its valuable healing properties, will prove an efficient adjunct in any treatment the physician may direct. COMPOUND PEPSIN POWDER. (see pepsin powder comp.) CORDIAL TONIC OF YELLOW PERUVIAN BARK, SERPENTARIA, ETC. The grateful and invigorating influence of this tonic adapts it particu- larly to persons enfeebled by sickness or exposure, the ingredients of which it is composed being the most energetic of antiperiodics. As a preventive to the influence of miasma, noxious climate and the debili- tating effects of sudden changes of temperature resulting in low fevers, chills, etc. , it will be found invaluable. Dose. — One tablespoonful, morning, noon and night. CORN AND WART PENCILS. For the painless removal of warts, and a certain cure for hard and soft corns. Its use for both warts and corns, besides being more certain, is not open to the annoyances of the plasters, ointments and caustics usually prescribed. CRYSTALLIZED LINIMENT. RUBEFACIENT CONES. A new form of counter-irritant application, combining ilte advantages of Mus- tard, Capsicum, Porous and other Plasters, Liniments and Counter-irri- tants generally, and free from all the inconveniences, blistering and trouble connected with agents of this character. In the present state of medical knowledge it is quite certain that the effect entitled rubefacient is far more generally useful for the relief of local inflammatory and neuralgic affections than the more severe vesicant and caustic applications, as effected by mustard, cantharides, etc. The most casual examination of existing data will convince any one of the accuracy of this statement. A local application having a counter-irritant action must affect differ- ent parts through the nervous system, either by direct or reflex com- munication. A superficial and strictly localized painful or inflamma- tory affection may be acted on directly, the terminal portion of the nerve Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 221 coming within range of the topical application. We have an illustration of this in the action of cocaine on the nerves on that part of the mucous membrane to which it is applied ; but this mode of procuring relief must, necessarily, be limited in scope and restricted in utility. The most im- portant results are those secured by a reflex mechanism. When a counter-irritant impression is made on some external part, distant inflammatory and painful affections are relieved by a reflex action which includes in its range the sensory portion of the nervous system and the vaso-motor or circulatory system. To obtain these important results the degree of counter-irritation must be properly gauged. Certain well-established physiological principles enable us to arrive at a close approximation to the necessary amount of irritation. Severe and pro- tracted counter-irritation depresses the functions both of the nervous system of animal life and the organic nervous system, including the vaso-motor and trophic. Extensive blistering, for example, may be com- pared to a large burn on the surface — and, it is well known how pro- foundly such an injury will modify the nutrition of the internal organs and inaugurate serious structural lesions. On the other hand, such a moderate degree of counter-irritation as is involved in the process of rubefaction tones up the relaxed vessels, and thus relieves congestion of internal organs and allays the irritability of excited seusory nerves. The materials heretofore employed as rubefacients have not been satis- factory, because their action is not sustained and uniform. If continu- ously applied, the effect passes the merely rubefacient, and vesication and ulceration result. The special need is a rubefacient that shall maintain a constant impression without involving deeper and more severe injuries. We believe we have accomplished this purpose successfully in our Rube- facient Cone. Crystallized Liniment is capable of all the applications required of this class of remedial agents, and free from their inconven- iences and unpleasant effects. They will cause redness without involving the danger of vesication. As respects the pain which accompanies the action of a rubefacient, the Cone has the merit of so modifying the local impression that while the counter-irritant action is taking place the pain is reduced to a not disagreeable sensation of heat and tingling. The most protracted application does not cause an inflammation of the skin — only that degree of redness of the part necessary to a proper counter-irritant effect. The Rubefacient Cone is also anodyne by reason of the impressions made on the nerve terminals — the end organs — and of the reflex action on the nerve centres in anatomical relation thereto. The therapeutical applications of the Cones — counter-irritant — are numerous and important. In general terms, wherever a counter-irritant is indicated, the Cones can be employed instead of the plaster, the ointment, the liniment; for the endless uses to which these topical agents can be applied, the Cone can be substituted as at the same time a neater, more convenient and elegant and more efficient means. Migraine, or hemicrania, neuralgia of the fifth nerve, spinal pain and irritation, intercostal neuralgia, lumbago, muscular rheumatism or myalgia, all pains in superficial nerves, are relieved by the counter-irritant Cones, In such cases the Cone is rubbed over the part to be acted on until a sufficient impression is made or relief obtained. For the internal affections of an inflammatory character in which counter-irritants are constantly used with success, the Cones are admi- rably adapted. We may mention, in this connection, sore throat, croup, bronchitis and pleurisy. For the relief of these troubles, the Cones are rubbed over the throat externally, over the larynx and trachea, and over the part of the chest affected by inflammation. For the abdominal and pelvic inflammations, for peritonitis, stomach disorders, colic, dysmen- 222 Kindly specify "WyKTh's" when prescribing. orrhcea, and, indeed, for all the painful and inflammatory affections ot the various internal organs, the Cones can be used with the certainty of affording as much relief as can be effected by counter-irritant remedies. The Cones are especially indicated when the case is one of superficial pain — as lumbago, weak and tender spine, etc. Prepared as these Cones are, they are entirely cleanly, easy of appli- cation, and present singular advantages for the treatment of the maladies for the relief of which the various counter-irritants are now employed. They are of a size to be convenient in handling; they do not waste rapidly ; they adapt themselves to any surface ; they require no band- aging or other dressing, or after-treatment ; they do not injure the skin, and are absolutely free from danger, immediate or remote. Directions. — The Cones can be applied under any circumstances ; on railway journeys, at sea, at home or abroad. It is only necessary to rub the Cone on or over the part, the seat of pain, a few times until the gentle tingling caused by it is felt. The amount of irritation can be controlled at will, according to the degree or mode of application, and can be removed entirely by simply wiping the surface of the skin with a damp cloth or towel. DIALYSED IRON (FERRUM DIALYSATUM). A pure neutral solution of Iron Peroxide in the colloid form. The result of endosmosis and diffusion with distilled water. Each fluidounce contains 27.68 grains. Our Dialysed Iron {Ferrum Dialysatum) is a preparation of much interest, chemically, and of much value in therapeutics, since it is a pure oxide of iron in a liquid state, easily absorbed, unirritating, and capable of being prescribed with great accuracy as to quantity. In the chemistry of this process, no scientific man can fail to be interested. We effect on a large scale, by a simple endosmosis, the change from an acid combination to a perfectly neutral state, without impairing the solubility of the substance. Heretofore, this has only been done on a small scale, by Graham and others, as a matter of experiment. The advantages theoretically ascribed by chemists to the article, if it could be prepared in quantity, are borne out by practical trials since we have manufactured it. The process of dialysis consists in placing the substance in a dialyser, formed of a diaphragm of parchment or membrane, the other side of which is in contact with distilled water. At the end of a certain time the colloids remain in the dialyser, while the crystalloids have, by endos- mosis or diffusion, passed the diaphragm, and become dissolved in the distilled water. In the preparation of Dialysed Iron we avail ourselves of two known principles. The first is connected with the remarkable property possessed by the chlorides in general of combining with the oxides to form oxy- chlorides, which are usually soluble, and in which the proportion of oxide is very large. As regards iron, particularly, one equivalent of its perchloride may, under suitable conditions, combine with thirty or more of the oxide, giving a soluble oxychloride, the formula of which would be Fe2Cl6,3oFe203. To get rid of the acid hydrochloric, and obviate the usual inconveniences of ferruginous preparations, we take advantage of the second principle — that of the unequal diffusibility of acid hydro- chloric and iron peroxide, the latter belonging to the class of colloid bodies — and, by means of the dialyser, we completely separate this acid Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 223 hydrochloric, so that, as a final result, we have the thirty equivalents of soluble iron peroxide contained in a very small volume of water. When this operation has been conducted with care, the Dialysed Iron thus obtained is an inodorous liquid of a deep-red color ; it has none of the styptic taste so common and so disagreeable in ferruginous preparations. Very Important. — Physicians and apothecaries will appreciate how important is the fact that, as an antidote for poisoning by arsenic, Dialysed Iroti is quite as efficient as the hydraTed sesouioxide (hitherto the best remedy known in such cases) and has the great advantage of being always ready for immediate use. It will now doubtless be found in every drug store to supply such an emergency. We have the testimony of many prominent physicians as to their successful treatment, with our Dialysed Iron, of arsenical poisoning. The details of their experiments have been published in the various medical journals, and, doubtless, read by the majority of physicians. Becqoerei< says of it : "It produces neither heartburn, diarrhcea, constipation, eructations, nor, in short, any gastric disturbance, and — which is a matter of much importance — it never blackens the teeth. All these statements are borne out, not only by numerous experiments of my own, but by the facts observed by very many physicians in Europe, among whom might be cited some of the most distinguished societies who have given their attention to the subject. Administered for months together, the Dialysed Iron has shown itself conclusively to afford all these advantages. "Tested by chemical reagents, this article is found to be immediately precipitated in the form of brown flocculi, by a very small quantity of acid sulphuric, by alkalies and by many salts ; but it is not precipitated by acid nitric, pee ic or muriatic. This latter property precludes the risk of its activity being interfered with by the chlorides in the digestive canal. " The solution of Dialysed Iron— obtained as above, and concentrated by boiling — coagulates only to a certain degree, so that it may be reduced in volume with increase of strength. The coagulum formed by heat, by acid sulphuric or by an alkali, is a jelly of deep-red color, closely resem- bling a clot of human blood. This coagulum is insoluble in water, but soluble in dilute acids. Graham, who has given much attention to the study of dialysis, thinks that the colloidal iron hydrate exists in two states, soluble and insoluble, but has not determined the composition of the coagulated hydrate. "The colloidal solution of iron hydrate, submitted to the action of an electric pile, gives, at the negative pole, the gelatinous hydrate." Such is the product which we have submitted to physicians and for which we ask a trial, believing it will always be found a ferruginous preparation of great strength, without odor or taste, and harmless to the teeth, combining, in short, all the advantages of the best preparations of iron without any of their objectionable qualities. It sometimes happens that the Dialysed Iron becomes somewhat thickened, or even (though very rarely) jellified. This is due to the sensitiveness of the article, and is an evidence of its great purity. According to BecouEREi/s, Graham's, and our own numerous experi- ments, this is not an alteration but a transformation of the Dialysed Iron, and may be due to several causes : I, too great concentration — a slight degree of evaporation sufficing to carry off the small amount of contained water ; 2, the drop-counter should not be introduced when moistened with ordinary water, the salts contained in the latter, though in infinitesimal quantity, being enough to thicken or coagulate the Dialysed Iron; 3, extreme cold — freezing having the same thickening effect ; but this con- dition being, as already stated, not an alteration but a transformation, may be corrected by putting a little distilled water into the bottle. I,ike all 224 Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. valuable articles, this preparation may be imitated ; and the public are cautioned against purchasing any Dialysed Iron not bearing our name. The advantages of our Dialysed Iron over preparations purporting to be similar will be recognized at once by physicians and druggists. The French and German Ferrum Oxydatum Dialysatum which we have examined give acid reactions to test paper, and show the presence of a salt of iron when potassium sulphocyanide or ferrocyanide is added. By our appliances we are enabled to carry the dialysation to such a degree that our preparation is tasteless and free from astringency, the minute quantity of the oxychloride not being appreciable nor giving evi- dence of existing unless acid is added, converting it into a salt of iron. Graham obtained 98.5 parts of oxide with 1.5 of acid, noted as follows : " Th. Graham's celebrated essay on the diffusion of liquids {Phil. Trans., 1861, 183) announces the following results: 'If recently pre- cipitated ferric hydrate or ammonium carbonate be added to an aqueous solution of ferric chloride, as long as the precipitates are redissolved, and if the dark -red solution thus obtained, containing from four to five per cent, of solid matter, is subjected to dialysis, mainly acid muriatic will pass through the septum, upon which, after nineteen days, remains a red liquid containing, for 98.5 parts of oxide, 1.5 parts of acid muriatic' " Our Dialysed Iron is not a saline compound, and is easily distinguished from salts of iron by not giving a blood-red color on the addition of an alkaline sulphocyanide or a blue precipitate with potassium ferrocyanide. It does not become cloudy if boiled. When agitated with one part of alco- hol and two parts of ether (fortior) , the ether layer is not made yellow. Drop-CounTKR. Mode of using. — In one compartment of the box containing the bottle is a drop-counter. To use it the rubber portion is compressed with the fingers and the tube introduced into the liquid ; the pressure is then relaxed, when the liquid passes up into the instrument, which is thus charged , and may be removed. By repeated gentle pressures on the rubber the liquid is made to issue, drop by drop, until the requisite number is counted. The instrument should not be washed with ordinary water, but should be cleaned after using by wiping it with a clean rag of soft Itnen. Keep the bottle well corked, and in winter avoid exposing it to extreme cold. Twenty to fifty drops of Dialysed Iron or, at most, about one-half tea- spoonful daily, can be taken, in four or five doses (one-fourth or one-fifth each time) in a little water, with or without sugar (or merely dropped on a small lump of sugar) in wine, coffee, etc. A physician can judge best as to the mode of administration, as well as of the quantity required. It may be remarked that this article can be taken without inconvenience in doses two or three times as large as those stated, but not to any advantage, as only a certain amount can be absorbed into the system ; and from numerous experiments recently made it would appear that this amount is not more than from forty to eighty drops per day. More comprehensive literature on the chemistry and t/icrapy of Dialysed Iron will be furnished on application. DIASTAS— WYETH. Will digest from fifty to one hundred times its weight of starch, and is therefore an invaluable adjunct to the digestion of starchy foods for chil- dren, and will be found no less serviceable to adults when added to all foods prepared with a considerable amount of starch, such as the various cereals and breakfast foods, rolls, puddings, pastry, etc. ; in such cases it should be dusted lightly over or mixed with the food just before eating. In cases of amylaceous dyspepsia or intestinal indigestion it may be given either with the food or shortly after eating. Dose. — One to five grains.

Our Diastasic Malt Extracts in combination with various other con- stituents are prepared by the vacuum process, recognized as a superior method of procedure, owing to the low temperature employed. The Diastasic Extract represents in a highly concentrated form the soluble, nutritive and diastasic constituents of the choicest Canadian Malt, at the same time presents a large percentage of nitrogenous matter, carbo- hydrates and phosphates in a convenient and palatable form for adminis- tration. The bright light color and freedom from the slightest tendency to cloud is evidence of the active and well preserved character of the extract. Being readily miscible with nearly all remedial agents in liquid form, and being a solvent for salts soluble in aqueous menstrua, it is admirably well adapted as a vehicle for other remedies, particularly for convalescents where the Malt Extract is in itself especially indicated. The various formulae given below are the more popular combinations, and are offered regularly for the convenience of the physician in pre- scribing or ordering. By mentioning " Wyeth's " on prescriptions, the physician is assured of receiving an extract of highest diastasic power. DIASTASIC MALT WITH CASCARA.

Directions. — For adults, from a dessertspoonful to a tablespoonful three times daily, taken either pure or mixed with water, milk or wine. For children, it is well to commence with a teaspoonful and increase the dose gradually. DIASTASIC MALT, DRY. A concentrated product, representing all the nutritious properties of pure Malt. This extract is prepared by the process of "mashing" by first con- verting the starch of the grain into maltose and then rapidly evaporating in vacuo to dryness. It possesses remarkable nutrient properties and is rich in soluble albuminoids. This preparation is employed, with excellent results, in the treatment of amylaceous dyspepsia, and as an adjunct in the preparation of infants' food it cannot be excelled. Dose. — For adults, one to two heaping teaspoonfuls ; for children, a heaping teaspoonful or less, according to age. Best administered incor- porated with water or milk.

We doubt if there is another preparation, either isolated or combined with the therapeutic principles of ergot, so admirably adapted for subcu- taneous use as this one, as it possesses very positive advantages over the aqueous solutions of ergot, which rapidly decompose. That the physiological action of ergot is different when administered hypodermatically than when employed internally seems to be a fact. When given by the mouth, the ergot, in passing through the peculiar vital processes necessary before it reaches the circulating medium of the blood, evidently undergoes some physicial or chemical change that elimi- nates particles of inert, irritating, and blood-pressure-lowering principles. Thus, the same ergot that, introduced into the system by the mouth, produces the characteristic therapeutic effects of this complex drug, when injected hypodermatically causes an instantaneous and decided fall of blood-pressure entirely out of proportion to the dose. All authorities seem to agree that ergot should produce a decided rise of blood-pressure, and, indeed, this must be true if it is to be employed in cases of internal hemorrhage with a condition of capillary dilatation, which demands a powerful vaso-motor stimulation. Appreciating fully the conflicting opinions respecting the value of the various constituents of this complex drug, we have recently conducted a series of exhaustive physiological tests, with a view of arriving at a more intelligent understanding of what principles are essential to insure the full physiological action, and what must be eliminated to reduce to a minimum its irritating properties. With this end in view, it has been our aim and purpose to present to the medical profession, as near as possible, an ideal preparation, one thoroughly aseptic, free from all objectionable features, and yet embodying every valuable constituent of the drug ; and we feel that the product we now offer embraces all these advantages and cannot fail to meet universal endorsement. Our Ergot — Purified — physiologically exerts a powerful action upon the unstriped muscular fibres and vaso-motor nervous system, besides hav- ing a decided influence upon the uterine muscles, evidently due to direct muscular stimulation and action upon the centres in the lumbar portion of the spinal cord. The respiratory movements are slowed, but, at the same time, they are stronger and fuller It produces an increase of intestinal peristalsis, also a more abundant flow of urine. The action of Ergot — Purified — upon the blood-pressure is instantaneous, decided in effect and prolonged in action. Having made numerous experiments by injecting definite quantities subcutaneously in guinea-pigs, we have fully demonstrated that this prepa- ration is entirely devoid of any irritating properties, whereas other prepa- rations of ergot, employed under similar circumstances, have in a number of cases produced an area of inflammation. Ergot — Purified — is especially indicated in the treatment of uterine inertia, post-partum hemorrhage, following abortion or miscarriage, or in any condition of the uterus in which a deci led contraction is desired. Experience, no doubt, will demonstrate the value of this preparation in the treatment of the various forms of hemorrhage, as it is equally valuable in epistaxis, hsematuria (renal or vesical), purpura hemorrhagica and the hemorrhage of scurvy. It is also indicated in the hemorrhage of typhoid fever, in dysentery with bloody defecations, in serous diarrhoea and in bleeding hemorrhoids. Some authorities advise the use of ergot with bromide of sodium in the treatment of diabetes insipidus. If we may believe that many nervous affections, such as neuralgia, insomnia, headache and pain in general, are due to the compression of 228 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. delicate nerve filaments by engorged capillaries, it must needs follow that administration of Ergot — Purified — in the treatment of this class of dis- eases, will result in immediate or early relief, as it causes a general con- stringing of the capillaries; in fact, clinical experience in the majority of cases confirms this statement. The administration of small doses, fre- quently repeated, will therefore replace to a great extent the use of nar- cotics, etc., in the treatment of the various manifestations of neuralgic irritability. Various pathological conditions with which is associated either a local or general dilation of the capillaries, such as acute inflammations, delirium tremens, asthma, puerperal eclampsia, etc., may be most satisfactorily treated with Ergot — Purified— as this preparation will induce a uniformity in the calibre of the capillaries, establishing an equilibrium of blood supply, thus inducing equable metabolic processes, thereby rendering normal the nutrition of the various tissues. Therefore, in addition to the value of Ergot — Purified — in the treat- ment of the various phases encountered in obstetric and gynecologic practice, it will be found useful in the treatment of the numerous and varied conditions dependent, to a greater or less extent, upon some dis- turbance of the general equilibrium of the vascular system. Dose, — As required. ESSENCE OF CALISAYA BARK, AROMATIC. Each fluidrachm contains the extractive matter of five grains of Calisaya Bark, The grateful and invigorating influence of this preparation is peculiarly adapted to persons enfeebled by sickness or debility. The bitterness of the Calisaya Bark being blended with aromatics, renders it a pleasant cordial, acceptable to the stomach and invigorating to the system. Dose. — A teaspoonful for children. For adults, from a dessertspoonful to a tablespoonful. ESSENCE OF COCA LEAVES, AROMATIC. Each fluidounce contains the extractive matter of thirty-two grains of Erythroxylon Coca. The grateful and invigorating influence of this preparation is peculiarly adapted to persons enfeebled by sickness or debility. The active, stimulating and tonic properties of Coca Leaves, being blended with aromatics, renders it a pleasant cordial, acceptable to the stomach and invigorating to the system.

The methods generally followed in detecting the presence and deter- mining the quantity of diabetic sugar in urine by the use of an alkaline solution of cupric tartrate and other liquid reagents, though in the main giving correct results, are neither convenient nor very rapid of execution, as physicians who usually have a large amount of such testing to do have found. In compliance with requests from several medical friends, extensively engaged in urinary analysis, we are now manufacturing on a large scale compressed chemical tablets, representing the solid constituents of the well-known Test Solution of Fehling, which is that most frequently employed and yielding by far the most correct results. By the use of our very complete apparatus and appliances, devised and constructed especially for the purpose, we are enabled to secure a degree of precision and accuracy unattainable by ordinary means. The advantages in portability, saving of time and calculations, are obvious, and after a single trial the tablets will commend themselves at once to physicians, druggists, and others interested in the analysis of urine, syrup, etc. To DETECT THE PRESENCE OF SUGAR. — To a small quantity of urine, contained in a test tube, add the boiling Test Solution, drop by drop ; the mixture will then assume a turbid appearance, caused by the libera- tion of red cuprous oxide, which will deposit on standing. To determine THE exact quantity OF sugar. — Dilute sixteen minims of the Test Solution with one fluidrachm (4 c. c.) of distilled water, and in another vessel dilute sixteen minims (1 c. c.) of urine with enough distilled water to measure one hundred and sixty minims (10 c. c) . Boil the Test Solution and add the diluted urine until the blue color is completely discharged. The quantity of the latter employed is divided by ten, and the result represents pure urine, containing one-twelfth grain (0.005 gm.) of sugar. TO PREPARE FEHUNG'S TEST SOLUTION. Directions. — First : Dissolve the Caustic Soda in sufficient water to measure fifty minims. Second : Dilute two minims of the Solution of Soda with twelve minims of water, and in this dissolve one of each ot the tablets (Nos. I and 2) with the aid of heat. Sixteen minims (1 c. c.) of this solution are decolorized, with pre- cipitation of red copper oxide, by the addition of one-twelfth grain (0.005 gm.) of glucose contained in urine, etc. The tablets must be kept in well-stopped bottles and in a dry place. Bottles containing twenty-five tablets, with directions for use, will be mailed on receipt of twenty cents. FOOD, PREPARED— WYETH'S. Of late years, much time has been expended in scientific physiologic research in the attempt to prepare by artificial means a good substitute for mother's milk. Though obviously nature's food, and therefore considered by all authorities the best infant food under normal conditions, mother's milk is so variable in quality that it is often unfit for the nourishment of the infant. The elements that compose an infant's food mus' retain their integrity and relative proportions as food materials that the infant may 230 Kindly specify "WyeTh's" when prescribing. be properly nourished and maintained in a state of growing vigor. Fluc- tuation of the mother s health frequently causes marked variations in the quantity of the elementary constituents. Researches in physiologic chemistry, and exhaustive analyses of human milk at different periods of lactation, have establ.shed the fact that mal- nutrition of infants is generally due to excessive fluctuations of the pro- portion of proteids, fats and carbohydrates in the milk, caused by the mother living on unsuitable food or undergoing at times depressing or exciting emotions. Uuder such circumstances — that is, when there may be too large a proportion of proteids or too small a proportion of fats and carbohydrates in the milk an infant takes from its mother — the evidences of imperfect nutrition are apparent, the infant quickly sharing in any disturbance of the mother's health. The number of cases in which mother's milk must be replaced by other methods of feeding is rapidly increasing, as many women are unable to nurse their own infants ; furthermore, the wet-nurse, formerly the substi- tute for the mother, is usually unfitted to properly nourish the infant. Many physical causes tend to make mother's milk unsuited for the infant. Briefly, these are : 1. Specific and contagious diseases. 2. Tuberculosis or any well-marked cachexia. 3. Poor nutrition, showing itself in the inferior quality and quantity of the milk. 4. Chronic degenerative diseases, such as albuminuria, chorea, Graves's disease, neuritis, etc. When we consider the number of women belonging to one or another of the above categories who are prevented from nursing their infants, the value of a good, reliable artificially prepared food becomes at once appar- ent. In other cases, where these specific causes interfering with nursing do not exist, but where the physiologic influence of the emotions on the mammary secretions is such as to alter the composition of the milk, and even in some instances convert it into a direct poison to the offspring, the welfare of the infant unquestionably demands a change. It is evident from these facts that a good artificially prepared infant food is most desirable. Cow's milk is probably most frequently substituted for mother's milk in those' cases in which it is impracticable to employ the latter ; but Dr. Henry Ashby {Medical Chronicle, August 1897) states that "it is doubtful if cow's milk can be employed so as to make it exactly resemble mother's milk, for the proteids of the former differ unquestionably from those of the latter, both in quality and in quantity." While mother's milk contains, on an average, nearly one and five-tenths per cent, of pro- teids — of which about one-third is casein and the other two-thirds the soluble and readily digestible lactalbumin — cow's milk contains nearly four per cent, of proteids, of which four-fifths is the insoluble and not easily digestible casein and only about one-fifth lactalbumin. In other words, breast milk contains about one per cent, lactalbumin and five- tenths per cent, of casein, while cow's milk contains only about eight- tenths per cent, of lactalbumin but three and two-tenths per cent, of casein. It has been the experience of many physicians identified with the sub- ject of infant-feeding that cow's milk is niuih more indigestible than mother's milk, and Courant {Revue de Therapeulique Mldico-chirurgi- cale, juillet 1892) states that " one reason wiry cow's milk is not so easily digested by infants is that the casein formed hy the action of the curdling ferment of the gastric juices is dense and tough, while that foimed from human milk is flaky." According to Taube and Escherich, even the acids of the stomach are apt to convert crude milk into tough, heavy Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing . 2§i curds. In fact, this is certain to happen unless the milk is first suitably diluted with water and cereals. Cow's milk contains bacteria, some of which are pathogenic, and a large proportion of diarrhceal diseases depend upon saprophytic bacteria ; and cholera, typhoid, diphtheria, tuberculosis and scarlatina may be transmitted by this medium. This bacterial contamination may result from disease in the cow, from the milker's hands or from unclean cans or jars. In fact, there exists a very close connection between diarrhceal dis- eases of summer and contaminated milk. The sterilization of milk, if continued over a prolonged period at a high temperature, will destroy all germs except the spores, though the boiled milk is not absolutely sterile, as is commonly supposed. When exposed to a r it is more liable to rapid infection by bacteria than ordinary milk. High-temperature sterilization changes the taste to that of boiled milk, which many children do net like; it also renders the milk consti- pating and the casein more difficult of digestion. Furthermore, the nutri- tive properties of the milk are impaired ; for it is an undisputed fact that the use of sterile milk as the sole diet for a long time is not infrequently followed by scurvy. In the manufacture of Wyeth's Prepared Food — composed of milk, malt and cereals — we have adopted the well-established principles of infant- feeding. The digestive organs of an infant ai e adapted only to the diges- tion of the elementary proteids, fats and carbohydrates ; and as our Food is composed of these nutritive elements, carefully selected and scientific- ally combined, we unhesitatingly recommend it as a safe and wholesome diet for infants and a reliable substitute for mother's milk, for it is not susceptible to the changes in quality and proportion of nutritious ele- ments to which mother's milk is liable. Special attention is directed to a few important facts which render Wyeth's Prepared Food distinct from and superior to other artificial foods. First. The milk employed is not a commercial condensed article of doubtful composition, but is perfectly fresh and carefully evaporated to prevent any possible change, thus securing indefinitely the fresh odor and taste so essential in a child's or invalid's food. Second. The cereals employed are the finest wheat and barley grains obtainable, containing the nutritious elements in a highly soluble and easily assimilable form. Third. The diastatic malt is so potent, and prepared with such abso- lute cleanliness and care, that an extract is obtained which will convert many times its own weight of starch material. Fourth. It is not preserved or rendered aseptic by the addition of chemicals, often employed in food preparations, which addition nullifies all claims to a healthful and pure product of nature. In this Prepared Food the three valuable elements named are combined in such proportions that an ideal food is insured, suited to all ages, cases and requirements. When prepared warm with either water or milk, the natural digestive principles at once become active, and the starch element of the Food is rendered soluble and converted into maltose, which is most important in the feeding of delicate or very young infants, who have not the starch-converting function strongly developed. We would direct particular attention to the very important fact that the administration of Wyeth's Prepared Food is not followed by such distress- ing symptoms as vomiting, diarrhoea and constipation, so liable to occur when a simple starch food, milk alone or plain malt foods are taken. We cannot emphasize too strongly the claim that this is not a predi- gested food, but that it will be digested at the proper time in the natural way — that is. shortly after being taken — all other foods of this character requiring a vigorous or healthy stomach to digest them. 232 Kindly specify "WyKTh's" when prescribing. It is, however, not only an infant's food, but will be found invaluable for adults and invalids as a daily diet or as an adjunct to other foods, aiding in their assimilation and digestion ; and being composed, as stated, entirely of milk, malt and cereals, it will insure complete nutrition with- out the aid of other diet. It may, if desired, be added to milk (pure or diluted), to gruel, oat-meal or other farinaceous food. In fact, there is no food or beverage for breakfast more nourishing, strengthening, digestible and wholesome. It may be sweetened with sugar or flavored or salted according to taste. Where there is great exhaustion resulting from low forms of fever, and in all cases in surgical wards, where speedy nutrition is desirable, it will afford continued sustenance and strength, due to its rapid assimilation and absorption. The cereals present having been so treated during the process of manu- facture as to render them readily digestible, Wyeth's Prepared Food may be taken to advantage in either cold, lukewarm or hot water or milk, or even in the form of the dry powder. Wyeth's Prepared Food, as a nutrient, tonic and stimulant, is of ines- timable value to those suffering from the effects of prolonged brain-work, the exhaustion resulting from long walks or shopping and as a substitute for coffee, tea or other stimulants. DIRECTIONS. — For infants under two months of age, one heaped des- sertspoonful of Wyeth's Prepared Food dissolved in about four ounces (a gill) of hot water or milk, or equal quantities of water and milk, may be given every two or three hours. During the third and fourth months, one and one-half to two heaped dessertspoonfuls of the Food to six ounces (one and one- half gills) of hot water or milk, or equal quantities of water and milk, may be given at each feeding ; but with babies from four to six months old the quantity of Prepared Food may be increased to a heaped tablespoonful and water or milk proportionately. For older children (over six months of age) the quantity of Wyeth's Prepared Food may be still further increased to two heaped tablespoonfuls, the proportions and quantities of the Food and the water or milk to be determined largely by the mother or nurse, bearing in mind that the older and stronger the child the greater will be the proportion of Prepared Food required to insure its healthy physical condition and development. Sugar or salt may be added to suit the taste. For Invalids, Dyspeptic Patients and Nursing Mothers. — Being com- posed of milk, malt and cereals, this Prepared Food contains everything requisite for the nourishment of the adult as well as the child in a state of robust health, and for invalids and convalescents it is invaluable, being easily digested, gently stimulating and appetizing. As a diet in a great number of diseases accompanied with symptoms of debility and inani- tion it will prove most satisfactory. The cases for which it is best adapted are fevers, such as typhoid and malarial, diarrhoea, cholera infantum, colic, wasting, etc. When prepared with milk and cream, and taken in addition to the ordinary meals of healthy adults, it is very fattening and is strongly recommended to those who wish to increase their weight ; and where the digestive organs have lost their power of digesting ordinary foods, it will accomplish admirable results. In cases of convalescents, where the stomach is assuming its normal condition, as also for nursing mothers, the Food may be taken boiled with milk, while for more delicate persons and very weak patients it should be mixed with hot water only and kept in a warm place for from one-half to one hour before boiling, that it may be partially converted and digested by the action of the diastase before reaching the stomach. Later, after the patient has become accustomed to the Food, milk may be added, gradually increasing to all milk. The quantity of Prepared Food to be used in such Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. 233 cases is two heaped tablespoonfuls at a time, gradually increasing to three or four heaped tablespoonfuls, as the strength of the invalid may warrant. For Travelers, Tourists and Bicsiness Men. — It will be found invalu- able as an instantaneous lunch and to relieve fatigue due to over- exertion or continued office-work. For the tourist who cannot readily procure milk, this Food may be used to great advantage and will be found very sustaining and invigorating, and for ocean travel it is particularly well adapted, the stomach so often being in such a precarious condition as to preclude the use of any kind of solid food. In these cases an occasional draught of this Food, given preferably with water, will be most beneficial. General Directions for Preparing the Food for Adults, or as a Stock Mixture for Further Dilution. — Wyeth's Prepared Food, 4 heaped table- spoonfuls (by weight, 2 ounces) ; hot water, 1-2 pint (8 ounces). Pour the Food into a cup, add the hot water gradually so as to make a smooth paste. When all the water has been added, heat the mixture and let boil a few minutes, stirring continually to prevent the Food from burning. After boiling, measure this mixture, and, if it has lost bulk, bring it up to fully one-half pint by adding enough hot water. If the Food is wanted entirely predigested, set it aside in a warm place, just after the hot water has been added, for one-half to one hour, stirring occasionally, and only boil the Food after the above named time has elapsed. This stock mixture will keep well for twelve to twenty-four hours on ice or in a cool place. It may be warmed again when it is to be used, and, if intended for infants, may be diluted with hot milk to any desired degree. For instance, for an infant under two months of age take one ounce (two tablespoonfuls) of this stock mixture and dilute it with three ounces (six tablespoonfuls) of hot milk. For an infant of four months take two ounces (four tablespoonfuls) of this stock mixture and dilute it with four ounces (eight tablespoonfuls) of hot milk. If intended for older children or invalids, this stock mixture may be taken full strength ; and to make a very rich, tasty and most nutritious food add one to two tablespoonfuls of cream to it after boiling. GLYCEROLE IRON CHLORIDE (Non-Alcoholic). Each fluidounce represents sixty minims Tincture Iron Chloride. Submitted to the usual chemical test, it develops the reaction character- istic of a true ferric salt, ascontasled with a reduced (ferrous) salt. Morever, while retaining all the virtues of the Tincture of Iron Chlo- ride, so essential in many cases in which no other salt of iron (the acid hydrochloric itself being most valuable) can be substituted to insure the results desired, it is absolutely free from the objections hitherto urged against that medicament, being non-irritant, and will deservedly occupy an important therapeutic position in cases where iron is indicated. It has no hurtful action upon the enamel of the teeth, even after long exposure. In offering to the medical profession the above described elegant phar- maceutical product, a word may be added in relation to the wide range of application to which it is adapted. Its preparation has received the great- est care in our laboratory, having aimed to produce a preparation that would be efficacious as well as pleasant in the treatment of diseases to which this form of iron is adapted, and in this desire we have fully realized our most sanguine expectations. Whether viewed from a therapeutical or chemical standpoint, it will be found infinitely superior to any product of this character now in the market, and we earnestly desire the profession to submit it to the test of clinical experience. 234 Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. Chemical and Pharmaceutical Compatibility. — Glycerole Iron Chloride (Wyeth's) is compatible with the following alkaloids: qui- nine, atropine, codeine, strychnine and caffeine. It is also compatible with the following salts and preparations : morphine hydrochlorate, ammonium hydrochlorate, cocaine hydrochlorate, potassium hydro- chlorate, antifebrin, antipyrin, phenacetin, salicin, santonin, etc. Hydrochlorates and nitrates can be added only in small proportions ; sulphates and acetates not at all. It is freely miscible in water in all proportions. TEST. — Potassium ferricyanide in solution added to a small portion of Glycerole Iron Chloride (Wyeth's), changes it from a reddish-yellow to a green color (test for ferric salt) , while the same added to a ferrous salt results in a blue reaction. Preparations of iron are more or less affected by exposure to the direct rays of sunlight, a fact which must be borne in mind concerning this product. Dote. — Glycerole Iron Chloride (Wyeth's) may be given in doses ranging from a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful, an ordinary teaspoonful representing eight to ten drops (approximately four to five minims) of the Tincture. GLYCEROLE OF PEPSIN. (SEE PEPSIN, GLYCEROLE OF.) GLYCEROLE OF RENNET. (SEE RENNET, GLYCEROLE OF.) GLYCEROLE OF THYROID GLAND. (SEE THYROID GLAND GLYCEROLE.) GLYCEROPHOSPHATES COMP.-WYETH (no Sugar). The therapeutic value of the glycerophosphates has been clearly demonstrated by clinical tests conducted by the most eminent specialists at home and abroad. They have grown in favor, until now they are recognized as almost indispensable in the treatment of those affections requiring the use of phosphorus in its most available form, combined with the metallic bases, such as lime, sodium, iron manganese, as well as the vegetable salts of quinine and strychnine. We are confident medical men will find Wyeth's Glycerophosphates Compound the most desirable prepa- ration of any yet suggested for the administration of the glycerophos- phates — perhaps the most efficient combination as a general tonic and to supply the waste of elementary matter that could be prescribed. It is a well-known fact that phosphorus .exists in the brain, nervous system and all vital organs in the form of glycerophosphoric acid, its salts and compounds, of which lecithin is the most important. In the latter form it plays an important part in the vital processes, which have for Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribiyig. 235 their function the reproduction of life and maintenance of metabolism. Robin, of France, -with this fact in mind, conducted a series of experi- ments, in which he proved that phosphorus administered in the form of glycerophosphates is more readily absorbed and appropriated by the vari- ous tissues than many other forms of phosphorus. This experimenter has published some striking results with the glycerophosphates in neu- rasthenia, nervous depression, convalescence from grippe, chlorosis and albuminuria. In the maladies of old age, in impotence, etc., he prefers these salts to the testicular juice, whose power in these cases is due to the phosphorus it contains. As remedies in nervous and general debility, the glycerophosphates are of practical utility, as they contribute phosphorus, an essential con- stituent of nerve tissue, to the nervous system. In that troublesome and too frequent disease of modern life, neurasthenia, a disease characterized by a deficiency of phosphates in the nerves, they are especially valuable, whether the malady results from- overwork, worry, town life or any other of its multitudinous causes. In such cases the glycerophosphates have come to be considered indispensable, for tbey alone of the constituents of nervous tissue attract thither oxygen and the nutriments in the blood current, oxygen being by far the most important, without which the life of cells and tissues, both nervous and muscular, must languish and be extinguished. In paralysis they have accomplished excellent results. Their efficacy here is probably due to their nutritive effect upon the nerve cells. In that large group of maladies characterized by faulty nutrition due to the excessive elimination of phosphorus from the body, as is evidenced by the fatigue and weakness following acute attacks and present in many chronic affections during the course of fevers and in the later stages of phthisis and all diseases of the nervous system, physicians will find of great value the tonic chalybeate properties of this preparation, combined with its general muscular and nerve reconstructant properties. Guided by the experience of eminent authorities, we suggest the administration of the glycerophosphates for a sufficient time and in proper quantity to correct structural changes and secure proper assimila- tion of the materials of nerve nutrition in all chronic wasting diseases, in the premature advance of age and in the various forms of nervous debility. Physicians will appreciate that, in order to insure the best results, all the advantages afforded by appropriate hygiene should be utilized. Many medical men who have prescribed the glycerophosphates with marked advantage, both here and abroad, insist that all alcoholic and vinous stimulants should be renounced, the use of tobacco in all forms reduced to a minimum, if not wholly given up, coffee and tea used only occasionally, and excesses of all kinds cease. The physician will necessarily be guided by individual conditions, temperaments or idiosyncrasies. By taking proper physiological exercise in walking, or by such special methods as experience has shown to be most useful, and by spendiug as much time in the open air as the exigencies of business or social life permit, the best results may be obtained. We offer the glycerophosphates in the form of a solution, without sugar, as in many diseases where they are of great value the process of digestion is impaired, and sugar, therefore, contraindicated. Wyeth's Glycerophosphates Compound (no Sugar) , owing to its palatability, will prove acceptable to the most delicate and sensitive patient, and may be given for a continued time without producing any untoward gastric symptoms, but rather aiding digestion and nutrition. Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls in a little water, taken three times a day before meals. For children, ten drops to a half tea- spoonful in a little water, as may be directed by the attending physician. 236 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. GLYKAOLIN. PASTA AI.UMINI SIUCATIS COMP. This preparation — Pasta Alumini Silicatis Cotnposita, or which may perhaps be more conveniently designated Glykaolin — has been designed, as the name indicates, for the purpose of utilizing in convenient form the peculiarly valuable therapeutic properties of its constituents. It is a compound of aluminum silicate, salol and glycerine so combined as to produce a perfectly smooth paste, easily applied and entirely free from the many objections so frequently urged by physicians to the application of ointments, salves, plasters, fly-blisters, etc. Our attention was first directed to the value of aluminum silicate for the reduction of inflammation some twenty-five years ago by Dr. Addi- neli, Hewson, since which time it has attracted the attention of many prominent medical men, for whose prescriptions we have continued to supply it. The technical advantages of Glykaolin will be at once apparent to the physician, who will recall the not uncommon experience of increased irritation provoked upon inflamed surfaces following the application of salves and similar preparations having a fatty excipient. The fatty prin- ciples of salves, whether of animal or vegetable origin, when kept for any length of time, frequently undergo oxidation, resulting in the develop- ment of irritating acids. Oxidation, or the decomposition of Glykaolin into irritating products, is a chemical impossibility, but, on the contrary, it retains its bland, unirritating, soothing properties in any climate for an indefinite period. In removing salves, ointments, plasters, etc., from exposed, abraded and inflamed surfaces the physician experiences both difficulty and annoyance, subjecting the patient to consequent irritation. Glykaolin may be readily removed from any surface by the simple appli- cation of water, without subjecting the patient to any pain or annoyance ; at the same time it possesses detergent properties, in which particular it is unique, distinguishing it from all other modes of topical treatment. In many cases it dispenses at the same time with the necessity of the usual forms of dressings and bandages, since it embodies in itself the qualities of all these and supplies as well a means of support and com- pression, easing and protecting the part affected. It is to be preferred to any of the ordinary forms of poultices or dressings, since a renewal of application is never necessary oftener than twice a day, and in many cases much less frequently, as the physician may feel is warranted, whereas poultices, ointments, salves and similar dressings must be con- stantly changed, subjecting the patient to the likelihood of an application varying not only in temperature but as to its constituents as well. Then, too, the inconvenience, discomfort and difficulty of cleansing without injury to the patient is studiously to be avoided ; and we are confident that delicate, abraded or inflamed surfaces, such as those to which it has been the custom heretofore to apply this class of preparations, will respond most gratefully to the application of Glykaolin, which in its technical aspects presents such a decided advantage and contrast to the time-honored but greasy, ineffective class of preparations referred to. Great and important as are its technical advantages, it is in its thera- peutic aspects that we find Glykaolin has its chief claim for very general use, as will be demonstrated when the physician considers carefully the therapeutic properties of its constituents — the peculiar absorptive and at the same time bland properties of the aluminum silicate, of which it is not too much to say that when brought in contact with serous, purulent and sanguineous deposits, the result of inflammatory processes, absorp- tion begins at once, leaving the affected part free for the operation of the recognized resolvent, hygroscopic, emollient and antiseptic properties Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. 237 of the glycerine and the equally well known alterative, prophylactic, antiseptic and anodyne properties of the salol, to which should be added as well its remedial influence upon deep-seated tissues through osmotic distribution ; so that we have in Glykaolin a compound which may be variously indicated. It will be found of inestimable value in the treat- ment of open wounds, indolent ulcers, boils, inflamed or gathered breasts, erysipelatous eruptions, applied to which the results are as prompt as they are gratifying to physician and patient alike. Not only is this the case, but relief as well is soon to be noted in deeper-seated affections, such as pleurisy, bronchitis, pneumonia, peritonitis, periostitis, synovitis ; and applied to hemorrhoids, sprains, burns, felons and those minor but annoy- ing troubles — sunburn and bites or stings of insects — the results are both speedy and gratifying. By its prompt use the propagation of inflammation to surrounding tissues by continuity may be arrested, as in erysipelas of the skin for example, or by contiguity, which, as in phlegmonous erysipelas, may involve cellular tissue, muscle and other textures. In such states, and indeed in all its indications, the inateries morbi is. removed by absorp- tion, as above pointed out, or destroyed by the antiseptic or the resolvent properties of Glykaolin. The integrity of the capillary circulation is restored and the affected part resumes its normal state. It is a matter most important to observe that as the logical result of the properties and uses of Glykaolin, as above explained, in many cases where under ordinary circumstances internal medication would be at once indicated, to be accompanied as heretofore with local application of salves, ointments, plasters or similar means, under local treatment by Glykaolin such a proceeding is entirely unnecessary. A prompt applica- tion of this preparation, as will be readily seen by a study of its proper- ties, will in many cases prove entirely efficient to prevent any systemic disturbance, and is, in short, when properly applied, the only necessary therapeutic procedure. On the other hand, should other and independent ailments demand the physician's attention and internal medication, such internal treatment may be carried on without the slightest risk of any interference from the Glykaolin. The foregoing brief statement of the technical and therapeutic advan- tages of Glykaolin would be incomplete were we to fail to point out, suggestively, its availability as an excipient for the exhibition of other synergistic, remedial substances, not a few of which will at once occur to the experienced practitioner in the course of practice. In the treatment of many cases, often obscure in their origin and frequently difficult to diagnose, including many malignant growths, Glykaolin will at once suggest itself as a base for the exhibition of arsenic and its compounds. It may then be used successfully and surely as a sole remedy, as an adju- vant to other remedies or as a base, which cannot be excelled, for other and entirely independent remedies. Directions. — Before applying, Glykaolin should be warmed, being careful that no water is allowed to come in contact with the preparation ; it should then be spread about a quarter of an inch thick on the affected part, being careful always to have the application rather too heavy than too light, and the part then wrapped with a suitable piece of linen or cotton goods. Wherever possible, it should be applied to the affected part, although in cases where the part is difficult of access the prepara- tion may first be spread upon the cloth and then applied. Usually the whole part affected should be well covered, as in cases of pneumonia or bronchitis the entire breast and back should be encased. For convenience of physicians, and that their prescriptions may be filled with original packages, we have arranged to supply Glykaolin in 238 Kindly specify " Wyeth's " whett prescribing. three sizes of packages, indicated as "Small," " Large " and '■'Hospital Size," the small package holding eight onnces, the large package sixteen ounces and the hospital size two pounds, all of which are readily obtain- able through the wholesale and retail drug trade. GLYKAOLIN, PICRATED. The great success which has attended the use of acid picric in the treatment of burns and scalds, and the prominence recently given it in this connection by medical authorities, have suggested to us the desira- bility of combining it with Glykaolin, in which form we now offer it under the title of Picrated Glykaolin (Pasta Alumini Silicatis Comp. cum Acidum Picricum), thus adapting it particularly for application in such cases. As this preparation has had thorough clinical test in hospitals and factories, where burns and scalds are of frequent occurrence, and the reports in each instance have been entirely satisfactory, we commend it to the consideration of our medical friends. Dr. C. W. Allen, in Pediatrics, refers to its use for burns, stating " he knows of no better local remedy for burns of the first and second degree than acid picric : it has the effect of giving almost immediate relief from pain, and healing takes place rapidly after its use." From American Medicine we quote the following statement : " Dur- ing the last two or three years many writers have testified to the value of acid picric as an antiseptic, sedative and keratoplastic agent in various inflammatory affections of the skin. It has proven especially valuable in superficial burns, acute eczema and herpes zoster. For a few minutes there is some smarting, but this soon gives way to a sense of relief. The advantages claimed for this treatment in burns are simplicity, painless- ness, rapidity of healing, minimum of suppuration and a smoother cica- trix than is obtained with other methods. It should not be employed in old, deep or suppurating burns." Eminent foreign authorities also submit testimonials of the virtue of acid picric. According to M. Pouchet {Rep. de Phar., 1895) the anal- gesic properties of acid picric have been known for a long time, himself having employed it as early as 1869 in his laboratory for treating slight burns accidentally received. In extensive burns, especially of the face and body, compresses saturated with acid picric are used, according to Pharm. Centralhalle, 1897. These compresses are covered with absorbent cotton, taking care to use material not impervious to water, as the solution is intended to dry through absorption and evaporation. The dressing is changed every third day, later at longer intervals. Before applying the dressing care should be exercised in opening the pustules caused by the burn and emptying them without removing the epidermis. In burns of the first degree a cure is usually effected within three to four days. Besides its use in burns, acid picric is also useful, according to Thiery, in eczema, fissures of the nipples, frost-bites, perspiring and sore feet and bisters caused by application of vesicants such as cantharides. Papa- zoglon {Rep. de Pharm., 1886) uses a one-half-per-eent. solution of acid picric. If the burns are very extensive the patient is plunged directly in an acid-picric bath. In minor burns the burn is first washed with a little acid-picric solution, then the pustules are opened and compressed slightly with a little cotton to press out the watery contents, taking care not to remove the epidermis ; after this the real bandage is applied. The acid picric acts antiseptically and chiefly as an analgesic. The application is, according to FlLLCUL, free from any danger of poisoning, the only objec- tion being its staining properties. Delpech also states that acid picric is non-toxic and that even large surfaces may be treated without any danger of poisoning. Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 239 As to the use of acid picric in eczema, Gaucher used it as a one-per- cent, solution applied every two days, and states that it is very beneficial in these cases, subduing the itching sensations. (Soc. M£d. des Hop. de Paris.) To remove acid-picric stains M. Sabatier (Presse Medicale, July 19, 1902) recommends the immersion of the stained hands, etc , in a ten-per- cent, solution of benzoate of lithia, and we can recommend this method from our own experience. HAY FEVER TABLETS. PROMPT RELIEF AFFORDED BY THE USE OF COMPRESSED TABLETS OF COCAINE HYDROCHLORATE. A remedy for hay fever, to be curative or powerfully palliative, must accomplish one or both of two objects : it must arrest the local irritation ; it must prevent the reflex disturbance. It must so affect the nasal and faucial mucous membrane as to remove any special susceptibility that exists, and put the individual so affected in the state of the majority of the population who breathe with impunity air charged with irritating materials. That cocaine fulfills all these requirements clinical experience has abundantly proven. In fact, the remarkable success which has attended the use of cocaine in cases of hay fever is one of the most interesting developments in the therapeutical history of this surprising remedy. We have learned that mauy are marvelously relieved of their most distressing symptoms, and the disease, pro tempore, cured; others are much benefited, but the morbid action continues in a modified way. Wheiher the case of hay fever be a mild or severe one, the indications for the treatment remain the same. We cannot change the neuropathic constitution, but we may lessen the excitable condition of the nucleus of the fifth and of the pneuuiogastric nerves by suitable hygienic and dietetic treatment in the interim. As we are now concerned with the seizure itself, we omit from consideration all that relates to prophylactic treatment. As regards the attack, we are to consider the degree and method of relief which are affori ed by cocaine. Experience has shown that much depends on the manner in which this remedy is applied. When the membrane is pouring out an abundant secretion, the solution, as carefully applied as may be, fails to reach and act on the affected surface. Hence it is that the compressed tablets are so much more efficient. A tablet placed alongside the septum of the nose, or just posterior to the cartilage of the ala, dissolves gradually, and thus comes into contact with successive parts of the inflamed surface. Furthermore, the excipient with which the cocaine is combined favors its diffusion by its liquefying action on the tenacious mucus which covers the mucous membrane. The degree in which susceptible subjects are affected varies greatly. A few have nothing more than a trivial "cold in the head; " others, a severe catarrh which involves the nose, the eyes, the throat and Eustachian tube, with greater or less congestion of the nasal mucous membrane, and implication of the terminal filaments of the fifth and of the sympathetic nerves ensues ; hence the swollen state of the mem- brane, the acrid and abundant secretion (catarrh), the subjective distress and the formation of "sensitive areas." The sneezing, the asthmatic symptoms and other nervous phenomena are purely reflex effects readily explained by the anatomical relations of the affected nerves. Vuxpian had, long ago, shown that ablation of the sphenopalatine ganglion — a centre of the sympathetic nervous system — was speedily followed by a profuse catarrh of the nasal mucous membrane. The nucleus of the 240 Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. fifth nerve has close physiological relations, if not actual commissural connections, with the nucleus of the pneumogastric nerve. Hence a reflex disturbance, originating in the terminals of the fifth nerve, may thus involve the terminals of the pneumogastric nerve and its associated nervous connections, causing, among other nervous disturbances, asth- matic symptoms. Cocaine allays the heightened sensibility of the terminal filaments of the fifth nerve, distributed to the nasal mucous membrane. It lessens the congestion and diminishes the outpouring of mucus. It lowers the irritability of the nucleus of the fifth and of the pneu- mogastric or vagus nerves, and thus prevents or moderates the asthmatic attacks. f T0BES OK 20 TABLETS PUT UP IN , ' BOTTLES OF IOO TABLETS In one respect the action of cocaine is wanting, howsoever beneficial it may prove to be — that is, the antiseptic property ; but combination with remedies of the antiseptic group in the form of the ' ' nasal supposi- tory" has remedied this deficiency. The nasal suppository is a conical or cylindrical body, shaped to the capacity of the nasal passage, and con- taining the medicament incorporated in a mass with the unirritating and innocuous cacao butter. In such a suppository is included with cocaine the most effective antiseptic or germicide which experience will demon- strate to be most certainly destructive of the morbid germ, whose presence in the nasal passages determines the attack of hay fever. It will be remembered that HelmholTz, a great sufferer from the malady, acting on this conception of the nature of the disease, successfully used a solu- tion of quinine at the onset of the seizure. The nasal suppositories are prepared in various combinations, and contain such active germicides as iodoform, resorcin, corrosive sublimate, etc., with or without cocaine. If without, they can be used in alternation with tablets of the latter, and; if rightly timed, may happily succeed, as Helmholtz did, by acting on the morbific agent at the moment of its introduction, before it can diffuse through the passages.

KISSINGEN TABLETS— ARTIFICIAL (EFFERVESCING). (EOR THE EXTEMPORANEOUS PREPARATION OF ARTIFICIAL KISSINGEN WATER.) While we recommend the use of our Granular Effervescing Kissingen Salts (artificial) as the most satisfactory medium for the preparation of artificial Kissingen Water, following a demand made upon us by our many friends among the medical profession, we have arranged to supply the salts in the form of an effervescing tablet. Dose. — One or two tablets in a glass of water three times a day. LINSEED OIL EMULSION WITH HEROIN. Each ftuidounce of Emulsion contains Dilute Acid Hydrocyanic 2 1-fZ minims Heroin 4-25 grain Linseed Oil is an excellent substitute for cod liver oil in the treat- ment of all those cases which exhibit a repugnance for the latter, and the combination of the linseed oil with acid hydrocyanic in the form of a palatable emulsion with the heroin renders it of value in the treatment of tubercular cases, as the heroin exerts a beneficial effect upon the night sweats and does not impair the appetite, disturb digestion or cause a drug habit. This preparation is indicated in all cases of cough, whether due to chronic bronchitis or tubercular indications. Dose. — For an adult, one dessertspoonful in water, wine or milk, to be repeated at such intervals as the attending physician may indicate. LIQUENZYME. ELIXIR OF THE DIGESTIVE FERMENTS. A PLEASANT AND PALATABLE SOLUTION OF THE DIGESTIVE FERMENTS, INCLUDING AMYLOPSIN, THE STARCH-CONVERTING ENZYME OF THE PANCREAS. One teaspoonful of this Elixir will digest 3000 grains of coagulated albumen in twenty-four ounces of water acidulated with one per c€nt. C. P. acid hydrochloric {equivalent to three-tenths per cent, of absolute acid hydro- chloric), at 10U° E., in four to six hours. One teaspoonful, if added to one quart of lukewarm milk, will quickly produce a firm curd. The importance of obtaining the digestive principles separately, while still retaining their original properties, has frequently been noted ; but great care and skilful manipulation are required in order to adapt them to the wants of the physician. Rapid advancement has been made in this department within the past few years, and chemists are now prepared to offer the physician a choice of the various constituents of the digestive 16 242 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. fluids, either in the dry state or in the form of concentrated solutions. The advantages of investigation in this line will be apparent to the physi- cian : knowing the special properties of the different active constituents, he is thus enabled to combine them in suitabe proportions for the pur- pose of meeting and overcoming the defects due to derangement of func- tion. In conjunction with a selected dietary and attention to hygiene, it is not unreasonable to assume that beneficial results will follow this plan of physiologic medication. As the composition of food-stuffs is complex, and their digestion requires the combined action of the several ferments, it seems manifest that to procure the most satisfactory results the latter should be adminis- tered together. This suggestion has been happily adopted in I,iquen- zyme, in which they are skilfully combined. The chief difficulty in the simultaneous administration of the pepsin and pancreatin to promote digestion, and in their combination in one preparation, lies in the differ- ence of reaction of the media in which they are res^ctively active. Though late researches have clearly established the fact that while pepsin operates in acid solutions and pancreatin is also slightly active in a mod- erately acid solution, it is a fact, nevertheless, that the latter does not assume its full digestive activity until it enters the alkaline media of the intestinal contents ; and in the preparation of this elixir the utmost care is exercised to have it conform to the chemical and physiological require- ments. That the powers of the pepsin and pancreatin are strictly pre- served is proved by the action of the elixir on proteids, converting them into peptones ; on starches, converting them into dextrine and grape sugar, and on fats, rendering them dialysable. A preparation of the composition of Liquenzyme must necessarily have an important place in medicine. When digestion is feeble, espe- cially during convalescence from acute illness, or is inefficient because of catarrh of the stomach, or needs the stimulation of an increased supply of ferments to dispose of increased food, in wasting disease, this elixir should be used. It is in fermentative indigestion, with offensive acid and gaseous eructations, that pepsin is most useful. In intestinal indi- gestion, catarrh of the intestine, flatulence with or without colic pains, in catarrhal jaundice arising from catarrh of the duodenum by contiguity of tissues, in membranous enteritis, in deficiency of the pancreatic juice and consequent imperfect emulsification of fats, we have conditions in which this elixir is indicated and from the administration of which may reasonably be expected the most satisfactory results. In those cases where derangement of the liver is a concomitant symp- tom, the continued use of minute doses of bichloride, biniodide or other mercurial salts may prove of great advantage, but this preparation will constitute a most valuable adjunct to the treatment. It will prove of service also in gastralgia, enteralgia, cholera infantum, enterocolitis, dysentery and in the vomiting of pregnancy. It is well adapted to the wants of nursing mothers and will also answer a useful purpose in cases of digestive disorders occurring in teething children. Liquenzyme may also be utilized to advantage in preparing pre- digested foods, such as peptonized milk and gruels, and the grateful and appetizing junkets, all of which will be more easily digested owing to the activity of our pepsin, which is employed in the manufacture of this product. The value of foods prepared in this way in cases of disease and during convalescence can hardly be overestimated, as they are in a con- dition ready for assimilation with very little exertion on the part of the enfeebled digestive apparatus. Liquenzyme may be administered with perfect safety to the most fastidious patient, to those with delicate stomachs and to children. It does not produce nausea, and is entirely free from bitterness or unpleasant Kindly specify " WyETh's " when prescribing. 243 after-taste peculiar to medicines in general. Palatability is secured by appropriate and delicate flavoring, with slight acidity, which is carefully estimated according to normal gastric digestion. The prep ration is per- manent in ordinary climates, and loses none of its therapeutic properties from age. A special feature of this preparation should be mentioned : it curdles milk, and can therefore be used for making slip, whey or junket, pepto- nization taking place at the same time under the influence of the other digestive principles present in addition to the milk-curdling ferment. A teaspoonful will curdle one quart of milk in about twenty minutes, the milk having been previously warmed, not boiled. To increase its pala- tability for convalescents, it may be given with fruit or fruit juice, a different flavor being selected from clay to day, by which the monotony of a liquid diet is measurably relieved. Liquenzyme is especially adapted for those who are unable to digest milk. One or two teaspoonfuls should be given just before or immediately after drinking milk. Proportionate doses should be given infants who regurgitate curds. Dose. — One or two teaspoonfuls a few minutes before meals, or a tea- spoonful three or four times a day when suffering from indigestion. For infants, from three to ten drops, according to age, mixed with their food, milk or gruel. LIQUID EXTRACT OF MALT. (SEE MALT EXTRACT, LIQUID.) LIQUID RENNET. Yields, with milk, the most luscious of all desserts, the lightest and most grateful diet for invalids and children. Milk contains every element of the bodily constitution ; when coagulated with Rennet, it is always light and easy of digestion, and supports the system with the least pos- sible excitement. The convenience and nicety of this article over the former troublesome and uncertain way of preparing slip, junket and frugolac will recommend it at once to all who use it. There are few desserts so economical, delicious and healthful. This preparation, made of the clear fresh Rennet of the calf, preserved with white wine, excels in purity of material, pleasant flavor and every desirable quality. Liquid Rennet is especially valuable in the summer season as a diet for invalids and children suffering from or threatened with the com- plaints incident to change of water, too free indulgence in fruit, or defi- cient nutrition. As a food, milk is highly nutritious, and when coagulated with Rennet gives yery mild, light and easily digested diets, devoid of stimulating properties. The addition of brandy, wine, spices, etc., increases the stimulant effect, and may be added when such effect is desired. Slip, Curds and Whey. — Add two teaspoonfuls to a p : nt of milk slightly warmed ; a firm curd will be produced in a few minutes. The addition of an egg to the milk, before adding the Rennet, gives an additional richness. Junket, Cold Custard. — To a quart of milk, warmed, add a table- spoonful each of sugar and brandy and two teaspoonfuls of Rennet ; stir only to mix, allow to cool, and flavor with nutmeg, as usual. More brandy and sugar may be added, if desired. Notice. — Good results, i. e., a firm curd, can only be obtained when 244 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. the milk is properly heated. The exact temperature at which the firmest curd is made is 105 F. ; four or five degrees one way or the other will not interfere. If the milk used is too cold when the Liquid Rennet is added, or if it has been heated too much, or is watered milk, or milk preserved by the addition of chemicals, satisfactory curds are hard to obtain. General Directions. — Carefully warm the milk, stirring frequently to obtain a uniform temperature, using, if possible, a milk or farina boiler and a dairy thermometer. Bring the milk to the heat of the hand, or not over 105 F. For each pint of milk used add two teaspoonfuls of Liquid Rennet, stir rapidly for ten or fifteen seconds, pour it into the dish from which you intend to serve it and set it aside.

Physiological Properties of Alkalies.— The alkalies play such an important and beneficent role in therapeutics, the recent researches in science have been productive of so many new, interesting and valuable facts concerning these medicaments, that an adequate presentation of the matter seems called for. In general, it may be said that one alkali is like another in most par- ticulars, though some, like sodium, and, more notably of recent years, lithium, are found to have especial virtues, and are justly held superior Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 245 to the others. But, turning for the present from this consideration to an examination of the physico-chemical properties of alkalies, we shall find that the study of the effects of these substances on the gastric juice and secretions, in digestive processes as a whole, reveals their peculiar virtues and powers. For instance, the salts of lithium (which may be taken as a favorite example of the properties of the alkalies in general) excite in a very marked degree the activity of mucous tissues, producing in the respiratory, intestinal and urinary tracts an abundant secretion. In the stomach, this activity of the secretory functions is most worthy of observation, and, indeed, most necessary to health. It was assumed, and correctly, as experiments have proved, that the presence of acid hvdrochloric, the most important constituent of healthy gastric juice, was greatly favored by the ingestion of an alkali ; for according to the law of the diffusion of liquids through membranes, the most satisfactory condition for such diffusion is the presence of an acid fluid on one side of the membrane and an alkaline fluid on the other. An alkali, taken into the stomach before a meal, should call this law into practical operation by starting the secretion of acid in the cells of the deeper mucoscz, and attracting the acid thence into the stomach to form salts in obedience to that force of attraction between acids and bases, known as "chemical affinity." As a matter of fact, this process of diffusion — of an acid into the stomach, an alkaline fluid into the blood current — really proceeds as assumed, and has been demonstrated in the most complete and satisfactory manner by Drs. Ijnossier and LE Moine. ( Archives generates de Mede- cine, 1893, vol. i, p. 660.) In their experiments on a soldier afflicted with merycism (a disease characterized by the habitual regorgement of food into the mouth to be ruminated, as in the case of herbivorous animals) , the effect of an alkaline dose taken before meals was accurately determined. One gramme of sodium bicarbonate was given an hour before eating. The effect upon the acid secretions was most striking. In the first hour of digestion the reaction of mineral acids rose from 2.06 g. to 2.41 g. During the second hour the acidity increased in an even more surprising manner, free acid hydrochloric reaching the high proportion of 0.9 instead of o. Daily doses of from 0.5 g. to 5. g. , repeated for fifteen days, had a regular and constant effect in stimulating the secretion of acid. In these investigations another circumstance of great importance was noted, viz., the solvent action of the alkali on mucus, which is often present in the stomach in excess, and has a sensible effect in retarding the disintegration of food. It was found, too, that the alkali hindered the processes of decomposition in the stomach, and that it acted mechanically in the "churning" process, that is, in promoting the intimate mixture of the food and the gastric juices. Alkalies promote intestinal digestion in much the same way, by helping the diffusion of the blood through the tissues, by increasing the alkalinity of the blood, the secretory activity of the liver, pancreas and gall passages, by preventing the precipitation of cholesterine. (Liebreich, Encyklopadie d Therapie, Bd. i, Abth. i, s. 91.) Alkalies are chiefly absorbed by the intestinal tract, notably by the duodenum. (Raudnitz, Archiv fi'ir Exp. Path. u. Pharni., xiv, p. 347.) The law of diffusion here comes obviously and prominently into play ; by the action of this law, the secretions of the intestines and coherent organs are necessarily called forth, causing an increased activity of their functions and the pro- duction of the peculiar elements of intestinal digestion, the bile, peptones, fatty acids, etc. Again, a rapid absorption of the alkali takes place in the intestines, or rather, the blood receives a quick and abundant amount of alkaline matter, by which its fluidity and tone are greatly improved and a singular power imparted to it of dissolving exudates and solid deposits 246 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. in the joints, renal tubules and atheromatous arteries deposits over which alkalies have especial power, particularly lithia, whose solvent action is conceded to be much greater than that of the others. Therapeutic Uses. — It is evident from the results of Linossier that an alkali must be of the greatest utility in certain kinds of dyspepsia. 1. Where there is an insufficiency of acid. 2. Where an abundant mucus interferes with digestion. 3. In "sour stomach," hyperacidity, pyrosis, decomposition of food ingested, etc. For these disorders the lithium citrate in an effervescing water is recommended as a delightfully invigorating and agreeable stimulant to the gastric juices. (Dujardin-Beaumetz.) In intestinal and liver diseases, it is highly recommended by many eminent authorities, particularly in gastro-intestinal catarrh, bilious sick-headache, and in the nausea that frequently accompanies those dis- orders. Lastly, it will be found to produce the most efficient results in duodenal dyspepsia, or slow digestion, and above all, in catarrhal jaun- dice. (Dujardin-Beaumetz, Lecons de Clin. Thir., t. i, p. 511; t. ii, p. 83 ;t. iii,p. 558.) In diabetes, according to the same authority, we possess in lithium the most precious of therapeutic agents. As a remedy in this disease, he pre- fers it to any other alkali. Martineau, a pupil of Dujardin-Beaumetz, reports wonderful results with lithium. He tried it in seventy cases of arthritic diabetes, with sixty-seven cures. It was demonstrated by Damiette and Hyades, as an explanation of the extraordinary powers of alkalies in these cases, that they effect cures by regulating the digestive functions, by improving the nutrition, and, according to Coignard, by diminishing the production of sugar on the part of the liver. (Les alkalins peuvent annihiler la fonction glycogdnique cbez les veg£taux ; ils en diminuent chez l'homme.) {Journal de Thir., vol. vii, p. 841.) Dami- ette et Hyades. {Bui. de Th&rapeutique, t. xc, viii.) In gout and rheumatism, diseases characterized by an excess of acid uric in the blood, by deposits in the joints, the salts of lithium are the most precious remedies. In these cases their popularity is attested by an immense amount of evidence from competent physicians. Dr. Garrod, who introduced lithium into therapeutics, recommends it in the follow- ing terms : " When given internally in doses of from one to four grains dissolved in water and repeated two or three times daily, it exerts a marked influence in cases where patients are voiding uric gravel, causing the formation of deposits to become less or cease altogether. In many instances in which I have administered it to gouty subjects the result has been to diminish the frequency of the attacks and altogether improve the condition of the patients. I am of opinion that the salts of lithium offer to the physician most valuable agents in these cases, as their alkalinising property is of the highest order and their solvent for acid uric or urates far greater than that of any other agents." {On Gout and Rheumatic Gout, p. 439.) Another authority in these affections, Sir Dyce Duck- worth, says, " Lithium salts are of great value in gout. . . . They form the most soluble of all salts of acid uric, and possess more neutralizing power than those of any other alkali. Five to ten grains of the citrate may be given, alone or combined with potassum salts. No harmful effects have been observed from its use." {On Gout, London, 1889, P- 361O This powerful solvent action of lithium salts over acid uric and the urates, noted by Garrod, was confirmed by his own subsequent experi- ences ; also by those of Lersch {Deutsche Klinik, 1861), of Dujardin- Beaumetz {loc. cit., t. iii, p. 509) , of Charcot {Maladies des Vieillards, GEuvres, t. viii, p. 281), and by the author of the article " Lithium " in the Diet, de Thirapeutique (t. iii, pp. 465-468) and by others. It is Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing . 247 undoubtedly owing to this almost unique property of lithium salts that they are so efficacious in gout, rheumatic affections, both acute and chronic, in the uric acid diathesis, etc. There is another important circumstance in connection with this sub- ject of gout which was noted many years ago by Garrod {Med. Chir. Trs., 36, 1854) . He found that at least one-fourth of those afflicted with gout had sutfered previously from lead impregnation. These patients were chiefly workers in lead and painters. This fact, which was subse- quently frequently observed, led to a number of investigations which show that the impregnation of lead causes an excess of acid uric in the blood, and, though not always, yet in a considerable number of cases, an attack of gout, particularly of the joints. In such cases the solvent power of lithium salts over acid uric renders them peculiarly beneficial. With reference to the use of lithium here, as well as in the diseases of old age, Charcot says that though sodium and potassium are much valued as alkalies, lithium " appears in every respect superior." The effervescing tablets, recommended by Ewich, Rotjbaud, Buc- quoy, Paul and others serve this purpose more conveniently than the solutions. The use of the effervescing draughts is distinctly pleasant, invigorating and beneficial. Both Charcot and Dujardin-Beaumetz speak in the highest terms of the effects of lithium taken in this manner. The latter recommends the employment of a tablet in seltzer water as a delightful method of dosage. (Loc. cit., t. iii, p. 510.) According to Charcot (loc. cit., p. 251), it can be borne without ill effects for a long time. There is another condition of disease in which lithium exerts a powerful solvent action over deposits of a somewhat different kind. In cases where the precipitation of cholesterine has caused the formation of gall-stones, of brown gravel in the urine, lithium in small doses is of great benefit. CanTani, an eminent authority, approves highly the use of an alkali in such cases, attributing to it a threefold power — of dissolv- ing precipitates, of preventing the formation of stones, and of aiding in the evacuation of small stones. (Specielle Pathologie u. Therapie d. Stoff- wechsel-Krankheiten, Bd. iii, p. 125.) In connection with this subject, CanTani, as well as many others, speaks of the employment of the alkaline waters. They are valuable resources in the maladies of old age, in atherotna, habitual constipation, torpor of the liver and intestines, abnormal fermentatioii, etc. In all such cases, though the waters are useful, yet the effervescing tablets, especially where lithium is desired in suitable doses, are to be preferred ; for the springs, as a rule, contain lithium in such small quantities, and in such combinations, that the valuable properties of these salts are probably to a great extent lost. The waters, too, both alkaline and saline, should be used with caution, as they contain a great number of ingredients. (Ebstein, Das Regimen bei der Gicht, Weisbaden, 1885 ; ibid., Die Natur u. die Behandlung der Harnsteine, 1884. Cantani, SulV Azione jisiologica e snl Valore terapeutico dell' Acqua amara. Francesco GuiSEPPE, Napoli, 1885.) In combination with bromine, lithia is very effective, especially in insomnia, sick-headache, neurasthenia, pains of rheumatism and gout. For such troubles, the lithium bromide in closes of ten grains in water is very effective. Dr. S. Weir Mitchexi, has had excellent results with it. (Trs. Coll. Physicians of Phila., iv, 1894, p. 350.) Also, in the most elaborate and important study that we have of the actions and uses of this salt, Dr. LEW recommends it in the highest terms as a remedy in the insomnia of gout and gouty pains (where it is extremely effective) , in nervous crisis in epilepsy, chorea, etc. (Levy, These de Paris, 1894, p. 22.) 248 Kindly specify " WyETh's " when prescribing. In prescribing lithium, particularly the carbonate, it must not be for- gotten that carbonic-acid water, as has been pointed out by Charcot and others, is the suitable medium. This is often troublesome ; it is, more- over, an expensive method. The Effervescing Lithium Citrate Tablets obviate all these objections and are vastly more convenient. The dose that is desired can in this manner be easily and correctly given. A tablet dropped into a tumbler of moderately cold water will in a few moments dissolve with decided effervescence, producing a delicious, stimulating, sparkling draught. Physicians will appreciate the convenience, utility and superior advantages this method of prescribing lithium salts pos- sesses over any other. As we have said, the natural lithia waters contain lithia in too small quantities (one to two and one-half grains to the gallon) , and often in unfavorable combinations ; so that the artificial lithia water prepared with the tablets is now almost universally employed, and has, moreover, as we have shown, the approval of the first physicians of the time. One or more of the compressed tablets, dissolvea in any quantity of water desired (a tumblerful, pint, quart or gallon), affords at once a water and a method by which the indicated doses can be easily, quickly and accurately taken. Our Compressed Effervescing Lithia Tablets are put up as follows : three-grain tablets in bottles of forty each, and the five-grain tablets in bottles of fifty each.

The very marked results of the clinical and hospital experiments of Dr. C. L. SCHLEICH have fully demonstrated the great value of his method of producing local anesthesia by infiltration. Through the courtesy of Prof. Parvin we have had access to Dr. Schleich 's work, from which we have culled the most important facts bearing on his experience. Following his suggestions, we have prepared from these formulae a series of Soluble Compressed Tablets, embracing all the various strengths desig- nated by this distinguished surgeon, as detailed in the complete report. The combination of cocaine, morphine and sodium chloride will at once serve to convince medical men of its value, and the results of its further extended use in the hands of other practitioners leaves no doubt of the practical utility of this method of entirely destroying sensation in not only minor operations, but can be depended upon in many cases of greater importance where ether and chloroform are contraindicated. The advantages of our Soluble Compressed Tablets are manifold. They are at once soluble, are made of the several desired strengths, are permanent and stable, the solutions can be prepared in a moment, the fear of septic infection from stale solutions is entirely removed, the operator can always be supplied with more than sufficient for any emer- gency, and the combined ingredients do not deteriorate or change by age or climatic influences. We feel there is a wide field for the use of this method, not only in the hands of the surgeon, but with the general prac- titioner, for the relief of local pain, and to the dentist they will prove an invaluable aid. The tablets are put up in tubes of twenty tablets each, in cases holding ten tubes, and also in larger packages, such as one hundred, five hun- dred and one thousand. We will be pleased to mail, on application, to physicians or druggists who may desire them, our reprints of Dr. Welter Van Hook and Dr. Wurdeman. MALT, DIASTASIC, PLAIN AND WITH COMBINATIONS. (SEE DIASTASIC MALT, PLAIN AND WITH COMBINATIONS.) MALT EXTRACT, LIQUID. CONTAINING ALL THE NUTRIENT PROPERTIES OF MALT, WITH THE LEAST POSSIBLE QUANTITY OF ALCOHOL. We claim that our Liquid Malt Extract contains the nutrition of the best Canadian barley malt in a higher degree than any liquid malt with which we have had an opportunity of comparing it, having at the same time the marked advantage that it is free from the stimulating effect which invariably follows the administration of ordinary malt extracts and malt liquors. 250 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. It is not a beverage, but a most agreeable and valuable nutrient, tonic and digestive agent, rich in nutritious extractive matter, having a smaller proportionate percentage of alcohol than found in any liquid preparation of malt ; and since its introduction to the medical profession it has steadily grown in favor, and those who have given the subject of malt extracts the closest study and investigation are unanimous in their endorsement of the claims we have made for it. It is especially adapted for nursing mothers and children, as well as for patients suffering from nervous exhaustion, chilliness, etc., and particu- larly those unable to digest starchy food ; the diastase contained in our Malt renders such foods immediately soluble by converting the starch into malt-sugar and dextrine, in which form they are readily assimilattd by the system, thus creating animal heat and aiding in the formation of fat. Probably its greatest value is as a nourishing tonic during lactation, as it not only supplies strength to meet the unusual demands upon the sys- tem at that time, but it improves the quality of the milk by increasing the quantity of the sugar and phosphates, nourishing the infant and sus- taining the mother at the same time. In cases of consumptive tendencies and in the later stages of phthisis it improves the apaetite, promotes the assimilation of carbonaceous food, supplants the waste of elementary matter, thus fortifying the system and enabling it to better resist the undermining effects of the disease ; it also acts as a roborant in all cases of debility, and is a most valuable addition to the tonic and restorative treatment required in convalescence. A pure malt extract is a liquid bread which is in part predigested, and it is this quality which gives fermented liquors a large part of their assimilative value. From the malt the brewer makes his ale and beer by further converting starch into sugar and sugar into alcohol. He leaves some carbohydrates and albuminoids in his brewing, giving beer and ale their body, to that extent rendering them similar to malt extracts, but differing from the latter in that the primary and sometimes sole object is to produce a stimulant, while the nutriment is a matter of no importance, except that it enhances the quality of the brewing. The principal object of a malt extract, on the other hand, is the production of nutriment, the stimulant it may contain serving a threefold purpose — to preserve the liquid from fermentation, to increase its palatability, and, in an important sense, as a food. The difference is well displayed by those brewers who wish to make every possible penny out of their malt by c inverting all the carbohydrates into alcohol ; and while such beers are stimulating, they are not nutritious, as instanced by an English small beer and a cheap lager beer made in Brooklyn, N. Y. Alcohol Extractive Matter Water English Small Beer Lager Beer (Brooklyn) .... Malt Extract (Wyeth's) .... 3.2 2.8 2.54 2.4 2.8 15.0 94.4 94.4 82.46 In order to be most useful and effective an extract of malt should con- tain the bitter principles and aromatic constituents of the hop, as found in beer and ale of good quality, these constituents exerting a stomachic tonic influence, increasing the appetite, promoting the flow of gastric juice and preventing fermentative changes in saccharine and starchy- foods. Furthermore, these bitter and aromatic principles exert a curative influence in certain morbid states of the mucous membrane, of which Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 251 catarrh is the chief, effecting the removal of the catarrhal process, pre- venting the formation of mucus and thus directly and indirectly pro- moting the transformation of the starchy constituents of foods. This, in fact, is a far more important function than the action of diastase, which, it must not be forgotten, rather favors the acetic fermentations of the starches by forming maltose. A good malt extract, the ultimate purpose of which is to promote assimilation, should contain a small amount of alcohol, too large a pro- portion tending to irritate the mucous membrane, to set up a catarrhal state and to impair, if not destroy, the powerof the gastric and intestinal ferments. On the other hand, the proper quantity of alcohol stimulates digestion and enables the patient to take a larger quantity of food. The elaborate researches of Dupre, ArsTie and others have shown that the organism of man has the power to effect the oxidation of about three ounces of absolute alcohol in about twenty-four hours, and the oxidation of this amount of alcohol must evolve much force, which is utilized as muscular, glandular and nervous force ; by means, therefore, of a limited supply of alcohol not only are the bodily forces upheld, but permanent additions are made to the tissues of the body. No fact in practical dietet- ics being better established than the power of alcohol in proper quantities to promote nutrition in the subjects of wasting diseases, it follows that an extract of malt containing two or three per cent, of alcohol is far more useful than one which is merely rich in diastase. Physicians will find in many cases where cod liver oil and cream are inadmissible from lack of digestive power that the most susceptible patient can tolerate both when given in conjunction with the Liquid Malt, if administered in small doses, gradually increased as the tone of the stomach is strengthened. The bitter taste of quinine may be fully disguised if the latter is well stirred in a wineglassful of Malt Extract and immediately taken by the patient. Wyeth's Malt Extract has a peculiar and characteristic liveliness and freshness of taste which renders it grateful to the patient, does not pall the appetite, and is ever taken with a sense of satisfaction ; and the impor- tance of this function cannot be overestimated when it is remembered that an agent of this kind must be persistently used to procure the best results from its administration. As it contains less than three per cent, of alcohol, it may be given to invalids and children without danger of the secondary depressant effect so often experienced from the administration of spirituous remedies, the ordinary dose of a wineglassful representing less than forty grains of alcohol and over one hundred and twenty-five grains of nutritious extractive matter, rich in diastase, which is preserved by our peculiar process of preparation, while in malt liquors it is rendered completely inert by the boiling to which they are subjected during manufacture. MENTHOL PENCIL AND INHALER. AN EFFECTIVE REMEDY FOR LOCAL APPLICATION" AND FOR INHALATION IN THE TREATMENT OF HEADACHE, NEURALGIA, FACEACHE, HAY FEVER, CATARRH, ETC. This Pencil consists of menthol crystals in a form convenient for local application, and our method of mounting and finishing renders it espe- cially serviceable for the treatment of various affections by inhalation. Menthol, as is well known, is the solid constituent or so-called cam- phor of oil of peppermint ; and it is to this principle that the pungency and fragrance of the oil are due. Chemically speaking, it is an alcohol. On rubbing the Pencil over the affected part, a sense of coolness, 252 Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. followed by a slight smarting, is experienced ; in a few minutes afterwards the sensation is dissipated and usually the pain disappears. It is perfectly harmless, and can be used with safety on any part of the body. Of late years menthol has come into use as an effective remedy in the treatment of headache, earache, faceache, neuralgia, etc. Its adaptability to the treatment of many other affections of a like nature is manifest, and the methods of application are varied. Effectiveness and simplicity in the mode of application being the desideratum in a remedy of this char- acter, Wyeth's Menthol Pencils may justly claim precedence — due to the superior quality and absolute purity of the menthol used by us — over the many similar preparations which the success of our Pencils has inspired. For local application the cap should be removed and the Pencil rubbed briskly over the affected part, repeating as often as may be necessary. Insect Bites and Slings. — For immediate relief from the pain and swelling caused by the bites of insects, particularly mosquitoes, gnats and black flies, also the sting of bees, etc., menthol is admirably adapted. Rub thoroughly the spot affected several times with the Menthol Pencil. For use as an inhalant the cap should be turned so that the holes in the sides of the cap will be directly over the holes in the rim of the holder. This will admit, when inhaling through the hole in the top, of a current of air passing into and through the holder. As an inhalant it may be used either by the mouth or the nose, or both, as the indications may suggest. For decided action the holder should be slightly warmed, which can be done by holding over a gas flame or near the fire. For headache, neuralgia, etc., rub the pencil over the part affected and inhale freely through the nose. Persist in this treatment until the pain has subsided, and, if strictly followed, it will prevent the development of those severe and distressing cases of headache which often continue for several days, a cure being thus effected in from fifteen to thirty minutes. Earache may be relieved by rubbing the Pencil behind and inside the ear, and inhaling by the mouth, forcing the mentholated air into the Eustachian tubes. For toothache, rub the Pencil over the part, or insert a small portion into the cavity. Inhaling and retaining the mentholated air in the mouth will often give relief. For cold in the head, catarrh, etc., menthol as an inhalafit will be found to give most satisfactory results. Its portability renders it espe- cially useful, as it can be applied at any time or place, as the indications may require. Frequent inhalations through the nostrils should be per- sisted in, and the Pencil should also be rubbed over the sides of the nose. This method of treatment dispenses with the use of powders and solutions, and will be a welcome innovation to all sufferers from catarrh, especially travelers and tourists. Hay-fever patients will also be benefited by this mode of treatment. For croup, sore throat, etc., the Pencil may be rubbed over the throat and used as an inhaler (by the mouth), thus reducing the inflammation and allaying the pain. This treatment is especially useful in cases of croup, sore throat, etc. , in children. For bronchitis, lung troubles, etc., inhale through the mouth. A persistent course of treatment in these affections will give relief and often effect a cure. Insomnia and nervousness will readily yield to the treatment pre- viously given for headache, etc. For asthma, inhale freely through the nose and mouth during the attack, and, if subject to night attacks, use before retiring. When the Pencil is not in use, keep the holder tightly closed and turn the cap in such a position as to close the holes in the rim ; otherwise the volatile nature of the menthol will cause it to evaporate quickly. Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 253 MILK SUGAR, U. S. P. POWDERED AND GRANDWR. Especially adapted for infant-feeding and all medicinal feeding. NEUTRALIZING CORDIAL. RHUBARB AND POTASSIUM COMP., OR ALKALINE ELIXIR. Composed of Rhubarb, Potassium Bicarbonate, Golden Seal, Ceylon Cinnamon, Pancrealin and Oil of Peppermint in proportionate combination. Dose. — For adults, to allay stomachic irritations, such as dyspepsia, flatulency, diarrhoea, colic, vomiting, etc., one to two teaspoonfuls, in water, every half hour or more, according to the violence of the attack. For children, dose should be reduced in proportion to age and condition. NORMAL SALT TABLETS. A CONVENIENT AND SAFE METHOD FOR PREPARING NORMAL SALT SOLU- TION FOR SURGICAL OPERATIONS, INFUSION, TRANSFUSION, ETC. The growing use of saline solutions for infusion or transfusion has created a demand for a tablet as a convenient method for making such solutions and obviating the difficulties of their preservation. To meet this demand we have prepared the salts in tablet form over the following formulae, exercising the greatest care that the chemical purity of the salts shall be preserved from contamination through contact with any extra- neous matter, thus eliminating all danger from the otherwise possible formation of the nucleus of a thrombus. For some time past the demand for these tablets has materially in- creased, and we have ascertained that their use has been much more varied than would be supposed. Not only has the surgeon used them for intravenous injection in cases of surgical shock, flushing of the abdomen after laparotomies, irrigation and cleansing of wounds, etc., but they have as well been extensively employed in washing out the bladder and rec- tum, for vaginal injection, lavage, eye and ear work, etc., and, in view of possible post-partum hemorrhage, have become almost a necessary adjunct to the obstetric bag. The specific gravity of the solution made according to directions given below renders it applicable in all cases above referred to and also explains its extensive and satisfactory use in cases of naso-pharyngeal catarrhs. We offer the tablets in three forms : Normal Salt Tablet, No. 1. (For making Normal Salt Solution.) Three tablets to 1000 c.c. (one quart) of boiling water make a .6 per cent. (6-10 per cent.) solution. J* Sod. Chloride, C. P., 2.0 gms. (30 9-10 grs.) to each tablet. Normal Salt Tablet, No. 2. (Boston City Hospital formula.) ( Sod. Chloride, C. P. . . 2.250 gms. (34^ grs.)

The tablets are free from all deleterious admixture and enable the sur- geon to prepare extemporaneously a solution absolutely exact as to the amount of the salts and of the proper specific gravity. It is essential in making solutions from these tablets that boiling water be used, or, where preferred, the solution may be boiled or sterilized just before using. OX-GALL AND ITS PREPARATIONS. The purified Ox-gall , of which we offer the profession several conve- nient preparations, is a remedy of considerable antiquity ; yet it is only of late years that anything better than an empirical notion of its value and uses has been in vogue. Physico-Chemical Properties. — Ox-gall is one of the amara or bitters, and contains the nutritive properties of bile. It is this fact that renders Ox-gall, in some conditions of disease, a remedy of almost specific value ; for bile, in fact, is essential to the well-being of the economy. It is, in a strict sense, a restorative or constructive agent, being indispensable to the processes of digestion, assimilation and repair. Animals from whom the bile is withdrawn through a fistula grow rapidly thin and assume a cachectic appearance. The same thing is true of man, in whom, indeed, the bile is even more necessary to health. Dujardin-BeaumeTz {Diet, de ThSrapeutique, t. ii, p. 669), Bidder and Schmidt ( Verdauungssaefte und der istoffwechsel, Leipzig, 1852), and VoiT {Zeitschrift fur Biol., 1893- 94, xii) have shown that a well -nourished animal secretes bile in direct proportion to the amount and kind of nourishment taken ; that the quan- tity of bile diminishes with the quantity of food, and that the most generous diet does not preserve the animal whose bile is artificially with- drawn from inanition. According to these experiments, Ox-gall — the official preparation of bile — does not differ from bile in its effects, though it varies slightly in composition. A good specimen of Ox-gall taken from a. healthy animal, according to the best authorities, contains as its two most important con- stituents acid taurocholic and acid glycocholic combined with sodium, a valuable base choline identical with nervine, pigments, cholesterine, fatty substances and inorganic salts. The acids taurocholic and glycocholic have some powerful and useful properties on which the efficacy of Ox-gall seems to depend. It becomes, therefore, a matter of interest to determine in what proportion they are to be found in the official preparation. Neither LiebiG nor VoiT (loc. cit.) were able to extract acid taurocholic from fresh specimens of Ox-gall. Huefner and Bischoff succeeded in finding small quantities. The other acid, glycocholic, is easier to extract and undoubtedly occurs in Ox-gall in larger proportion than taurocholic. Both these acids, as has been mentioned, are found in combination with sodium, and neither seems to exist in the free state in Ox-gall. The two salts that these acids form, the sodium taurocholate and sodium glycocholate, are alike in action, though the taurocholate is the more powerful. It was shown, first by Roehrig, that a solution of those salts injected into the blood caused an immediate reduction of the pulse, cir- culation and temperature. {Archiv der Heilkunde, 1863, p. 400.) He showed, further, that the potency of Ox-gall is due to the presence of the sodium taurocholate and, to a less extent, to the glycocholate, and not to its other constituents. The glycocholate, however, acts efficiently in slowing the pulse and reducing the temperature, and has, moreover, the merit of leaving the system without disagreeable effects. Tradbe, a year later, confirmed tbe result of Roehrig, and added that the salts of Ox-gall affect the respiration as well as the heart. The action is on the cardiac ganglia, the vagus reacting in a compensatory manner. {Berliner kl. Wochenschrift, 1864, p. 14.) Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. 255 Subsequently, a more exhaustive study of the action of Ox gall and its salts was undertaken by Fei/tz and Ritter {V Action de la Bile, Nancy, 1876) . According to their researches, Ox-gall contains in nearly equal proportions sodium taurocholate and sodium glycocholate. They experi- enced no difficulty in precipitating the taurocholate with a neutral solu- tion of lead acetate. A series of experiments with these salts confirmed what had been set forth by Roehrig and Traube and revealed, besides, in Ox-gall laxative properties, and, what is of great interest, a marked influence in causing secretion. When an injection of a solution of sodium taurocholate is given, it produces the effects noted above, e. g., slowing of the pulse and respiration, reduction of the temperature. Then "the economy reacts vigorously and seeks to disembarrass itself by various means ; whence ensues an unusually abundant secretion of / tyalin, saliva, urine and intestinal laxative juices." These are results of larger doses. The effect of the glycocholate, though similar, is weaker, a conclusion which is in complete accord with that of Roehrig. It is important to note here that the action of Ox-gall, which may be said to be that of its combined elements, is more beneficent and agieeable than that of its two most poweiful principles acting alone — a fact which has been observed by Prof. NoTHNAGEE, and which is undoubtedly a fortunate attribute ; for the sodium taurocholate, when given in laige doses and by injection, is not without disagreeable effects, whi h Ox-gall entirely lacks, such as vomiting and the disintegration of the red blood globule. Among the most valuable properties of Ox-gall are its power to hinder the putrefaction of meat aud fibrin and its antiseptic action. (LimbourG, Zeitschrift fur physiol. Chemie,s\\\, p. 196; cf. Stolinkoff, ibid., 1878, p. 344.) It prevents likewise the so-called alcoholic fermentation — a power that seems to reside in acid taurocholic in particular — the fermen- tations of milk, of pepsin, of ptyalin, and, above all, it prevents the sugar producing pancreatic ferment. (Maly and Emich.) Nor must it be omitted that Ox-gall, among other beneficial effects in intestinal functions, quickens peristaltic action, the absorption of fats, and hinders rancidity. (Brunton.) Aside from its bitter and tonic properties, Ox-gall has no especial action on gastric digestion. It was supposed that it caused the precipita- tion of pepsin, but Oddi, a"s well as Eeeenberger and Hofmeister, have satisfactorily disproved, by direct experiments with the bile of various animals, the theory of qualitative analysis, on which that state- ment was founded. (Virchow and Hirsch, fahresbericht, 1888, i, p. 144 ; ibid., 1888, i, p. 145.) Therapeutic Uses. — The experimental study of Ox-gall should suf- fice to reveal its uses. In cases where illness depends upon malassimila- tion, when the restorative and constructive powers of bile are required, Ox-gall should be employed. It is, indeed, of the greatest service in disorders of nutrition, due to a deficiency of bile ; in ancemia, chlorosis, obesity and debility. As a nervine and general tonic and laxative, Prof. WoeFF, of Berlin, writes about it as follows, " After many years' experi- ence with it (Ox-gall), it recommends itself to me as a remedy in dys- pepsia, when that condition is dependent upon atony of the stomach and intestinal canal. It is indicated when there is a feeling of praecordial oppression, flatulence, weakness and exhaustion, especially if these con- ditions occur after meals. Ox-gall is of particular use when these troubles are complicated with constipation." {Deutsche Klinik, No. 26, 1864.) Not less emphatic is the approval of Dr. Alnate, writing in the Lancet : " In all cases of incipient constipation, administered in the form of ene- mata or pills, Ox-gall is a remedy of undoubted efficacy ; and even in protracted cases, where hope has almost fled but where evidences of strangulation are not unequivocally manifested, it should never be omitted. 256 Kindly specify "WyeTh's" when prescribing. In habitual or chronic constipation accompanied by indigestion, clay- colored stools, and a feeling of oppression after food has been taken, it acts with almost specific certainty." For chlorosis, the same author believes it to be the rational cure. Owing to its antiseptic and antiputre- factive effects in the intestines, Ox-gall should be used in cases where abnormal fermentative processes due to the action of bacteria are sus- pected to be taking place ; in a word, in flatulence (foul-smelling) , hepatic torpor, pancreatic indigestion, etc. To supply the existing demand we offer Purified Ox-gall as well as the Desiccated and Inspissated in powdered form and of pilular consistency, which, of course, are carried in stock by all leading druggists. PANCREATIN, ESSENCE. Each jluidrachm represents one grain Pure Powdered Pancreatin in an alkaline base. PANCREATIN, PURE. An active and permanent preparation of Pancreatic Ferments. This article contains the three principal ferments of the pancreas — steapsin, trypsin and amylopsin — in the same proportion as they are found in fresh pancreatic juice. It digests fibrin in alkaline solution, dissolves the casein of milk, emulsifies fat and converts starch into sugar. Milk Test. — Five grains of Pancreatin added to four fluidounces of tepid water in which twenty grains of sodium bicarbonate have been dissolved will completely peptonize one pint of milk in thirty minutes when exposed to a temperature of 105 F. Starch TEST. — Five grains of Pancreatin added to a starch paste (made by boiling one hundred grains of dry starch in four fluidounces of water, and subsequently cooling to 105 ° F.) will liquefy the mixture almost instantaneously and convert the starch into sugar in from two to five minutes. Dose. — One to five grains. PEPSIN, ESSENCE. A concentrated, agreeable, efficient and permanent solution of the active digestive' principle extracted directly from the stomach of the pig. Pepsin has become of late years the almost universal and popular as well as the most effective remedy in the various forms of dyspepsia, indi- gestion — indeed, all disorders of the digestive organs superinduced by excess, debility and ailments affecting the power of assimilating food. It has been presented to the medical profession in such a variety of forms and preparations, simple and compound, that we almost hesitate to ask preference to a new form of administering this invaluable agent ; and yet we are so confident of the merits and value and the therapeutic superiority of our Essence of Pepsin we feel assured, if once known and carefully tested, it will commend itself even more highly than through any repre- sentations we might make. Essence of Pepsin is correctly named, as it is truly a concentrated solution of the active digestive principle extracted directly from the stomach of the pig immediately after being slaughtered, thus avoiding any septic or organic change in the condition of the organ in which (the peptic glands) this ingredient is found, insuring the remarkable activity we claim for it. Long and varied experience in the manufacture of the various elements found in the animal secretions, such as pancreatin, Kindly specify " Wyeth's ' when prescribing. 257 pepsin, amylopsin, trypsin and steapsin, fits us peculiarly for the prep- aration of this solution or essence, with every advantage of improved appliances and machinery. The menstruum or solvent employed in the manufacture of this preparation enhances its activity, preserves it without change indefinitely, slightly stimulates, and allays nausea, increases the appetite. As an adjunct to the food for infants or young children with weak digestive power it is invaluable. Three, five or ten drops in the milk or gruel will enhance its assimilation greatly. Our Essence of Pepsin will be found invaluable in almost every form of dyspepsia, simple and aggravated, incipient and chronic, and in a marked degree in the more prominent and persistent derangements of the digestive organs connected therewith, such as constipation, diarrhoea, colic and flatulency. The remarkable activity of this preparation is due to the peculiar method of extracting the essential organic principle of the gastric juice. This can be readily demonstrated in its property of pre- digesting milk, albumen, as well as starchy foods and fibrin. Extended clinical experience with our Essence of Pepsin in the hands of practi- tioners has fully demonstrated and confirmed the claims we have made for it and the correctness of our theory as to the manner of its preparation, proving, as it has, to be of greater benefit and more promptly effective than any similar product that has been brought to our attention. Dose. — For an adult, one to two teaspoonfuls, either just before or after meals, or a teaspoonful as may be required during the day when suffer- ing from indigestion, dyspepsia or disagreeable eructations so frequently caused by enfeebled powers of assimilation. For infants it is advisable to mix three to five drops with their food ; for those a year old or more, from ten to fifteen drops with each meal, as the physician may advise. PEPSIN, GLYCEROLE. A concentrated solution of Pepsin in C. P. Glycerine, slightly acidulated with C. P. Acid Hydrochloric. Each fluidraclim contains six grains of pure Pepsii. Glycerole of Pepsin is intended for use in the manufacture of all liquid preparations of Pepsin, such as Liquid Pepsin, Elixir Pepsin, Bismuth and Strychnine, Elixir Calisaya Bark, Pepsin and Strychnine, Wine of Pepsin, etc. In preparing any of the liquid preparations of Pepsin a requisite quantity of the Glycerole of Pepsin should be used, with due regard to the strength of the Pure Pepsin of the U. S. P. 1900. PEPSIN, LACTATED. This is identical with the Compound Pepsin Powder of the National Formulary, containing Saccharated Pepsin, Pancreatin, Diastase, Acid Lactic, Acid Hydrochloric and Milk Sugar. Dose. — From ten to sixty grains. PEPSIN POWDER COMPOUND. (PURVIS PEPSINI COMPOSITUS, N. F.) This preparation combines in scientifically proportioned ratio the principal ferments as found in the stomach, and a given dose in milk or water immediately after a meal will give marked assistance to the natural secretions of the stomach in digesting and assimilating the food. 17 258 Kindly specify " Wyeth's " whe?i prescribing. PEPSIN, POWDERED. GRANULAR OR SCALE. This represents in the most concentrated form the digestive principle contained in the stomach of the pig. For strength and purity, we believe it to be unequaled by any pepsin manufactured. It has fully fifteen times the strength of saccharated pepsin as ordi- narily dispensed. One grain dissolved in sixteen fluidounces of water acidulated with seventy minims of acid muriatic will digest three thou- sand grains of coagulated albumen at 104 F. in six hours. Medical men will at once perceive the advantage of the concentrated and tasteless character of this Pepsin — one grain being the full dose for an adult — enabling the prescriber to administer it in combination with but slight increase of bulk. For children, the dose required is about one-tenth to one-half grain, and can easily be disguised. The value of Pepsin as an aid to digestion and assimilation can hardly be overestimated ; but, as usually prepared, the saccharated article is too bulky and contains too much sugar to be well borne by delicate stomachs, even in the case of adults. In children this difficulty is much greater. In compounding our Peptonic Pills (pure pepsin, one grain ; pure pancreatin, one grain, with two grains of lime lacto phosphate, and acid lactic) , so widely and favorably known to physicians, we have always used this Pepsin, to which, we think, the almost immediate relief given is mainly due. It has, in combination with bismuth, strychnine, cerium oxalate and some of the bitter vegetable tonics, been prescribed with the most satisfactory results by many leading practitioners. Our Pepsin may be employed with every confidence by manufactu- rers of preparations containing this article, as it is free from disagreeable taste and of greater strength than Pepsin as generally sold, while its cost is less. We will give special quotations for large amounts, and will take pleasure in sending samples to physicians, should they wish to test its comparative strength and therapeutic value. Dose. — One-half to one grain. PEPSIN, SACCHARATED. This preparation of Pepsin is manufactured without heat, in a pure and palatable form, from the fresh stomach of the pig. It represents the digestive principle of the gastric juice in a very active state and in the form most convenient for administration. It is prepared with every possible care from the inner coating of the stomach, first removed from the other tissues of that organ and then combined with milk-sugar. One grain dissolved in two ounces of water acidulated with ten minims of acid muriatic will digest from two hundred to two hundred and fifty grains of coagulated albumen at 104 F. in six hours. The experience of physicians has been so favorable to the use of pepsin as an aid to impaired digestion and kindred affections that it is only necessary to say the Saccharated Pepsin we manufacture exhibits the principle most fully and will give therapeutic results to the entire satis- faction of physicians wishing to prescribe this remedy. Dose. — From two to five grains before meals. Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. 259 PEPTONIC PILLS. Pepsin, Pancreatin , with Lime Lactophosphate and Acid Lactic. These pills will give immediate relief in many forms of dyspepsia and indigestion, and will prove of permanent benefit in all cases of enfeebled digestion produced from want of proper secretion of the gastric juice. By supplementing the action of the stomach, and rendering the food capable of assimilation, they enable the organ to recover its healthy tone, and thus permanent relief is afforded. One great advantage of these pills is the absence of sugar, which is present in all the ordinary pepsin and pancreatin compounds. In this form the dose is much smaller, more pleasant to take, and is less apt to offend the already weak and irritable stomach. The results of their use have been so abundantly satisfactory that we are confident further trial will secure for them the cordial approval of the medical profession and the favor of the general public. The advantage of this combination to correct nausea and want of appetite in the morning, induced by late suppers and indulgence in stim- ulants, can be readily proved by taking two pills one or two hours before breakfast. The theory of their good effect is simply that they aid diges- tion, and the food as yet unchanged is taken up, resulting in a natural desire for a healthful breakfast. It is really better to take the pills before retiring, as in that way the benefit due to the prolonged action is more decided, with the additional advantage of insuring satisfactory rest. As an appetizer for dinner they are to be preferred to the bitters and stimulants so often resorted to. Each pill contains one grain of Pure Pepsin and one of Pure Pancreatin, which are equivalent to ten grains each of the ordinary or Saccharated, usually prescribed and dispensed. Physicians will appreciate the great advantage of this mode of administration, the increased benefit to the dyspeptic being due to a full and effective dose of each, freed from the unnecessary bulk and really hurtful addition of sugar. A single pill will give immediate relief. Dose. — One pill immediately after eating, or when suffering from indigestion, lump in the throat or flatulence. For children reduce the pill to powder, and give one-fourth or one-half, according to age. PEPTONIZING POWDER. We offer the Peptonizing Powder in tubes (each vial containing suf- ficient to peptonize one pint of milk) and in tablets (each tablet contain- ing the amount necessary to peptonize one pint of milk) . The administration of milk peptonized by means of pancreatin to infants suffering from marasmus, cholera infantum and kindred diseases, where apparently the stomach has become so enfeebled as to be unable to retain or assimilate food of any kind, has uniformly produced such good results that we feel certain that our Peptonizing Powder prepared with the customary accuracy and precision of our other preparations will be fully appreciated. It is hardly necessary for us to expatiate upon the merits of peptonized milk as an article of diet for infants and invalids suffering from gastric debility, as it has been used for several years past with such uniformly favorable results as to have led to its adoption as a standard remedy. Unfortunately, however, there has been no convenient method of pre- paring this valuable article, and as a natural consequence it has only 260 Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribiyig. been used as a last resort when all other dietetic preparations had been tried and found wanting. By the use of our Peptonizing Powder (in vials or tablets) and observ- ing the following directions, the difficulty of preparing peptonized milk is reduced to a minimum, while the high quality of pancreatin used in its manufacture renders the resulting product perfectly uniform. Directions. — For infants, dissolve one of the tablets or contents of vial in a gill (four ounces) of lukewarm water. The tablet should be crushed or broken to insure prompt solution. Heat one-half a pint of fresh cow's milk to boiling and add it to one-half pint of cold milk, stir the mixture and pour in the dissolved Peptonizing Powder, mix thoroughly and allow it to stand in a warm (not hot) place for fifteen minutes. It should then be put on ice until desired for use, or if ice is not available it may be boiled for one or two minutes and set aside until wanted. It is usually advisable to dissolve about a teaspoonful of milk-sugar in each pint of the pepto- nized milk before administration ; this may be added to the first portion of the milk as it is being boiled, as it will dissolve more readily while the milk is warm. The addition of milk-sugar, while not necessary, causes the peptonized milk to resemble human milk more closely. For adults the milk may be peptonized more thoroughly than for infants, and if desired may be kept warm in contact with the dissolved Peptonizing Powder for twenty or even thirty minutes before being placed on ice or boiled, both of which processes stop the peptonizing action of the tablets. Milk peptonized for fifteen minutes, as directed above, when curdled by the addition of acid nitric, separates in small light flakes, while fresh cow's milk, unpeptonized, turns to a hard, solid curd. When subjected to the peptonizing action for thirty minutes, the milk will not curdle on the addition of acid nitric, thus showing that the casein has been com- pletely peptonized. For ordinary use, milk that has been peptonized for fifteen minutes will answer every purpose, but in case of extreme gastric debility a more thorough peptonizing is desirable. It should be remembered, however, that a bitter taste is developed by long peptonizing, and consequently the resulting product is less palatable. Peptonized milk, prepared as directed above, can be kept on ice for three or four days, but in warm weather it is preferable to prepare only enough for each day's supply. Complete formula for the preparation of foods from our Peptonizing Powder as suggested by Bessie Hazen, of the McLean Hospital, will be forzcarded upon application. PETROGEN. A NON-IRRITATING, HIGHLY PENETRATING AND SOI^UBtE MEDIDM. We ask the careful consideration by physicians of Petrogen as a vehicle for iodine, creosote, methyl-salicylate, menthol, guaiacol, car- bolic acid, etc., and feel confident that its usefulness will appeal at once to medical men, since it enables the physician to apply externally, with- out irritation and with the certainty of immediate absorption, many drugs the usefulness of which would otherwise be minimized, the most notable being iodine, which, combined with Petrogen, may be applied repeatedly, in fact, two or three times per day, for months if desirable, without fear of producing any irritation ; nor will iodine, applied by this means, cause any staining of the skin or linen beyond that which may readily be removed with soap and water. The application of iodine in this medium for local inflammatory con- Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 261 ditions is mucn more efficacious than when the iodine is applied in the form of tincture, and obviates, at the same time, in the majority of cases, any liability of irritation of the skin or mucous membranes. Experience has fully demonstrated that the systemic effect resulting from the local application of the Petrogen combinations is identical with that following the internal administration of the drugs, at the same time avoiding the great disadvantage in the way of gastro-intestinal irritation, so frequently encountered where such drugs as creosote, iodine, etc., are administered internally. This vehicle — probably the most penetrating of all topical applications, which we have designated as Petrogen — is a modified mineral oil, per- fectly bland and non-irritating to inflamed surfaces, possessing that peculiar quality of readily emulsifying with water, and, when brought in contact with the skin or mucous surface, forms an emulsion with the water and secretions, thus insuring an immediate absorption of the medi- cament into the general economy, and as well deprives such drugs as iodine, creosote, etc., of their irritating properties, rendering it possible to apply these remedies directly to inflamed surfaces without causing any irritation, but, instead, depleting the surcharged capillaries of the inflamed membrane, resulting in a rapid resolution to its former healthy condition. The solution of these various drugs in Petrogen is effected during the process of manufacture, as our experience and experiments have demon- strated that in this manner we secure not only a permanent solution, but one carrying a considerably greater percentage of" the remedy than would be possible were it added subsequently. The signal benefit and advantage afforded by this preparation cannot, we feel, be exaggerated, supplying as it does for the physician a means by which he may in many cases avail himself of remedial agents which heretofore might not be applied externally with satisfaction. We feel confident that, when fully tested, its usefulness will be found to have scarcely any limitations, when administered with that intelligence and judgment exercised by the careful physician. The absorption of the remedy in this vehicle is very rapid. The integument and mucous surfaces are protected from any irritation, though the application be frequently repeated. The fact of immediate absorption and distribution throughout the economy may be demonstrated by the urine test for iodine, which we have selected as the type to explain the claims we so confidently urge upon physicians. A demonstration with creosote, guaiacol and other drugs will prove just as strongly the great advantages afforded by this vehicle. We are prepared to supply Petrogen in the following combinations : LIQUID PETROGEN COMPOUNDS. Camphor-Petrogen containing 20 % Camphor f Acid Carbolic . . . .125 Camphorated Phenoe-PETrogen . -j Camphor 375 ( Liquid Petrogen . . . 5co CarboeiC-Acid-PETrogen containing 2 % Acid Carbolic Carboeic-Acid-PetrogEN 5 % Acid Carbolic Creosote-PeTrogen " 20 % Creosote Guaiacoe-Petrogen " 20 % Guaiacol ICHTHYOE-PETROGEN " 10 % Ichthyol Iodine- Petrogen 5 % Iodine Iodine-Petrogen " 10 % Iodine Iodoform-Petrogen 3 % Iodoform Menthol-Petrogen . ...... 5 % Menthol Methye-Saeicyeate-Petrogen ...

As Petrogen is absolutely devoid of irritating properties, it is as well adapted for internal administration as external application. The various formulae of medicated Petrogen are indicated in a large field of pathologic systemic conditions, and for the purpose of internal administration we offer the more important combinations in the form of Soluble Globules. When employed internally, the perfect solubility and decided absorba- bility of the Petrogen combinations aid in their immediate entrance through the gastro-intestinal membrane into the general circulation, where they are at once conveyed by the circulating medium of the blood to every tissue of the body, thus aiding materially their therapeutic efficiency.

Mercury-Petrogen containing 33^ % Mercury Mercury-Petrogen 50 % Mercury IODINE-PETROGEN (5 and 10 per cent.)— "While iodine is a most valu- able medicament for external use, its staining of the skin and lack of absorption through the integument have greatly restricted its field of ther- apeutic usefulness. These objections, however, are overcome by Iodine- Petrogen, as it is not only immediately absorbed into the pathologic tissues, thus exerting its beneficial, alterative and absorbent properties, but causes no permanent stain upon the surface, and any of the basic material of the Petrogen not abso.bed may be easily removed with soap and water. As Iodine-Petrogen is non-irritating, it is as well adapted for internal administration as external application, and may be employed in many forms of systemic disease in which the general effect of the iodine is desired. Applied locally, it has been found useful in the treatment of muscular rheumatism, glandular swelling, old syphilitic nodules, rheu- matic swelling, stiff joints, bruises, and is indicated iu the treatment of diseases of the respiratory tract and auditory canal, such as atrophic acd hypertrophic rhinitis, stomatitis, pharyngitis, otitis and otalgia. Iodine- Petrogen has been employed with most gratifying results in the treatment of pleurisy and pneumonia, and, if applied promptly upon the first indica- tion of pleuritic pains, the threatened attack will in most cases be aborted. To prove most effective, it should always be applied by the hand, being rubbed in thoroughly and until entirely absorbed, two or three times each day. The frequency of its application can be determined intelligently only after a careful consideration of the conditions by the attending physician. IODINE-PETROGEN GLOBULES, 2 1-2 minims (Iodine, 1-20 grain), 5 minims 1 Iodine, 1-10 grain). — Iodine-Petrogen Globules offer a ready means of obtaining the systemic effect of iodine without irritating the stomach. The readily soluble form in which the iodine is heie presented insures the prompt exhibition of free iodine in the circulation, whereas when the iodides are administered they must first undergo a chemical Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 263 change. Iodine-Petrogen, thus administered, affords to the human econ- omy iodine in its elementary form, which, in turn, is conveyed in a soluble state to the tissues, there to exert its alterative, stimulating and absorbent properties. METHYL-SALICYLATE-PETROGEN (20 per cent.)— Oil of winter- green has long been employed, both internally and externally, in the treatment of acute articular rheumatism ; but the objection to the use of this medicament in topical appl ications has been that it is only absorbed to a slight degree, while with Methyl-Salicylate-Petrogen the absorption is very rapid and it is thus brought in contact with the diseased synovial membrane, where it exerts its specific action and hastens recovery. It is strongly indicated in rheumatic affections of the joints and muscles, as also in gonorrhceal affections of the joints. It should be applied freely to the affected part, accompanied with decided massage, after which the joints should be wrapped in cotton and covered with oiled silk, so as to maintain an even temperature. This treatment may be supplemented by the administration, internally, of from one to two globules of Methyl- Salicylate-Petrogen, each containing five minims, three or four times a day. METHYL-SALICYLATE-PETROGEN GLOBULES, 5 minims (Methyl- Salicylate, 1 minim).— These globules are of particular value in the treat- ment of acute articular rheumatism and rheumatic fever, are non irritating to the gastro-intestinal tract, and the medicament is at once absorbed and conveyed to the part affected. One or two of the globules should be given frequently, according to the requirements of the individual case in the judgment of attending physician. ICHTHYOL-PETROGEN (10 per cent.)— The well-known antiphlogis- tic, anodyne, alterative, antiseptic and astringent properties of ichthyol are appreciably enhanced in value and activity by combination with this rapidly penetrating, quickly absorbable and non-irritating vehicle — Petro- geu. Local applications, in order to fulfill all requirements, must neces- sarily penetrate the surface and exert a beneficial influence on the under- lying lymphatics, capillaries and tissues, and also aid nature in removing inflammatory exudate and broken-down cell material through the natural channels of absorption . In addition, they must exert a bactericidal action on the disease germs, which are usually the causative factor of the pri- mary lesion. That Ichthyol-Petrogen possesses the above attributes may be fully demonstrated by the careful physician, whose experience will sub- stantiate our claims with reference to the very rapid absorption of this new vehicle. This places in the hands of physicians a product with which it is possible to beneficially treat not only diseases of the integument and mucous membrane but deep-seated inflammation. Ichthyol-Petrogen acts as a reducing agent and exerts a decided con- tractile effect on the vascular supply, inducing a diminution of tempera- ture, a reduction of swelling and relief from pain ; it is therefore indicated as a valuable agent in the treatment of local inflammation. In articular and muscular rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica and gout, owing to the rapid penetration and inherent therapeutic action of Ichthyol-Petrogen, its use will be followed by prompt relief from pain and a reduction of the swell- ing, redness and febrile symptoms. It is also of value in the treatment of influenza, pleurisy, lymphatic enlargements, tuberculosis, in all of which applications accompanied by gentle massage will prove more beneficial than other forms of ichthyol application. The use of ichthyol in the treatment of frost-bite and acne rosacea is highly recommended by Lange and Unna. Ichthyol-Petrogen is like- wise indicated in erysipelas, and the physician will doubtless find that its use in this disease will cause a reduction of the congestion, pain and ten- 264 Kindly specify " WyeTh'S " whe?i prescribing. sion and will exhibit a tendency to limit its progression. In fact, Victor Cebrian states that in this pathologic condition the use of ichthyol locally has proven uniformly satisfactory in the treatment of eighty cases. In furunculosis it is equally efficient ; the inflammatory conditions will quickly subside, and, if applied sufficiently early, it will abort the boils. In prurigo and pruritus, Lange reports excellent results from applications or inunctions with this agent, after carefully washing the parts with warm water and soap. The annoying itching which is so often found in connection with eczematous conditions may be greatly relieved by frequent applications. In sprains and painful injuries about the joints, Ichthyol-Petrogen should be thoroughly rubbed on the injured parts, after which the whole should be covered with cotton and firmly bandaged. Its use is further indicated in the treatment of the stings of venomous insects whit h are followed by itching and swelling. The physician will doubtless find that the use of Ichthyol-Petrogen, in the treatment of burns of the first and second degree, will be followed by a marked subsidence of pain and congestion. This view is supported by LEistikow, who heartily recommends the use of ichthyol in the treatment of such cases, especially when associated with a marked degree of inflammation. Ichthyol-Petrogen, by virtue of its anodyne, resolvent and absorbent properties, is of great value in the treatment of gynsecologic diseases. It is useful in removing periuterine and pelvic exudates in the treatment of chronic metritis, inflammatory conditions of the tubes and ovaries, erosion of the cervix uteri and drying up leucorrhoeal discharge, and affording relief from pruritus. Douches of hot water should be followed by the introduction of Ichthyol-Petrogen tampons once daily. This treat- ment may be supplemented, in pelvic inflammatory cases, by massaging the abdomen with Ichthyol-Petrogen once or twice daily. The efficiency of this method of treatment is due to the rapidity with which the Petrogen conveys the ichthyol to every portion of the underlying tissue, thereby producing results not obtainable by the use of ichthyol-glycerine tampons. In the latter instance the glycerine, through its strongly hygroscopic action, often causes a dryness of the mucous surface with a concomitant burning and itching of the vagina, which not infrequently extends to the external genitalia, and even to the surrounding integument, while, on the other hand, Ichthyol-Petrogen has a soothing, healing and pain-relieving influence which is very grateful in its effects. Such authorities as Freund, Bloch, Hermann, Sinclair and others recommend the use of ichthyol in the treatment of diseases of the female genital tract. Ichthyol-Petrogen tampons will quickly check hemorrhages, as the rather energetic vaso-constrictor action of the ichthyol, which is made possible by the marked absorptive power of the vehicle with which it is combined, will produce a decided haemostatic influence upon the vascular supply involved in the hemorrhage. There are other conditions in which the physician will doubtless find that Ichthyol-Petrogen is indicated. However, we feel sure that clin- ical experience will fully demonstate the many superior advantages of Ichthyol-Petrogen in the treatment of any pathological condition in which it is desirable to obtain the peculiar therapeutic activity of ichthyol com- bined with a bland, rapidly absorbent and non-irritating vehicle not only upon the tissues locally but also on the underlying structures. CAMPHOR-PETROGEN (20 per cent.) — Physicians will doubtless find that the stimulating and soothing properties of camphor are greatly increased in therapeutic value by its combination with Petrogen. While applications of camphorated oil are usually restricted to surface ailments, Camphor-Petrogen may be employed to advantage in the treatment of deep-seated pain and inflammation, as it at once penetrates the skin and Kindly specify "WyeTh's" when prescribing. 265 mucous membrane to the underlying tissue, where, by virtue of the stimu- lating action of the camphor, it constitutes a powerful factor in affording relief from pain and reducing inflammation. In the treatment of otalgia, with or without otorrhcea, syringing the external meatus with warm water, followed by injecting five or ten drops of the Camphor-Petrogen every two or three hours, will reduce the dis- charge, when present, and afford quick relief from pain. In cases of acute coryza, chronic rhinitis, hay fever or other similar diseases, pledgets of cotton saturated with Camphor-Petrogen and inserted in the nares will cause an enlargement in the lumen of the cavity, allay the sensitiveness of the membrane and reduce the inflammatory symptoms. In addition to this treatment the Camphor-Petrogen should be rubbed very thoroughly over the external parts. This vehicle will also enable physicians to avail themselves of the valuable properties of camphor in the treatment of the various diseases of the respiratory tract occurring in infants and children, as in such cases it is often difficult and undesirable to administer drugs by the mouth. Frequent rubbing with the preparation on the neck and throat will soothe the irritation, check excessive secretions and cause a subsidence of the inflammation incident to pharyngitis, laryngitis, bronchitis, asthma, croup, whooping-cough, pneumonia, etc. In these cases a teaspoonful should be rubbed in briskly with the hand, and continued until absorbed, repeating the treatment every two or three hours, or as often as the phy- sician may deem advisable. In the numerous disturbances of the gastro- intestinal tract prevalent in children, frequent application over the abdo- men will check vomiting and diarrhoea almost immediately and will termi- nate the colic and induce a comfortable feeling of warmth. Camphor-Petrogen is most useful as an application for boils and car- buncles, which may often be aborted by frequent rubbing with this prep- aration, while swellings, painful joints and rheumatism are greatly relieved by its application, and it is also said to have proven useful in cases of eczema and urticaria. The signal benefit and advantage of this preparation as an efficient anti-galactagogue will be appreciated by physicians. To obtain the most satisfactory results in these cases, the breasts should be rubbed briskly three or four times a day with the Camphor-Petrogen, as this will quickly Stop the secretion of milk, prevent swelling of the glands and afford relief from the pain usually present. From half a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful, necessarily depending upon the area affected, should be directed to be applied to the skin, rubbing briskly with the hand until entirely absorbed, repeating every two or three hours, or as often as the severity of the case, in the judgment of the attending physician, may demand. Covering the parts with cotton, especially in cases of pain and deep-seated inflammation, will often hasten the beneficial action of the remedy. IODOFORM-PETROGEN (3 per cent.)— The employment of iodoform in the treatment of wounds and ulcerative processes has become so gen- eral that a list of its indications would serve no useful purpose. However, we would call attention in particular to the superiority of this preparation, as it presents iodoform in a perfectly soluble and quickly absorbable form. Another feature that is worthy of special notice is the fact that Iodoform- Petrogen may be mixed with water to form an emulsion, thereby render- ing it possible to make applications of iodoform in a nearly absolute aque- ous menstruum, a method which physicians have so long desired in the treatment of a considerable class of pathologic conditions. CREOSOTE-PETROGEN (20 per cent.) —Physicians will find this prep- aration especially valuable in the treatment of phlegmonous erysipelas, 266 Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. phlegmasia dolens, psoriasis, impetigo, acne, tinea in all its forms, sycosis and scabies. Non-specific sloughing and phagedenic ulcerations are often benefited by applications with this preparation, assisting, in the case of long-standing ulcers, in a speedy and rapid recovery. Creosote-Petrogen is also indicated in the treatment of fistulse, gan- grenous surfaces, foetid otorrhcea, diphtheria and burns with excessive suppuration and granulation. Many other pathologic conditions will become apparent to the physician as amenable to this form of treatment. CREOSOTE-PETROGEN GLOBULES, 5 minims (Beech wood Creosote, x minim). — These gloubles may be employed to advantage in bronchitis and tuberculosis, as also in the treatment of gastralgia and other forms of gastro-intestinal disturbance, and, in fact, in any diseased condition in whirh the physician may consider the internal administration of creosote desirable. GUAIACOL-PETROGEN (20 per cent.)— The well-known analgesic effect of guaiacol may be used to advantage by utilizing this preparation in the treatment of arthritis deformans, acute articular and muscular rheuma- tism, sciatic coxalgia and pains of a superficial and deep-seated nature. It will also afford relief from pain in orchitis and epididymitis. As an antipyretic in tuberculosis, erysipelas and pneumonia, Guaiacol- Petrogen may be applied to any part of the body, accompanied with mas- sage and covering the part treated with cotton and oiled silk. After applications with this preparation, tracings of phenol may be detected in the urine in a short time, demonstrating its peculiarly active quality of absorption. Its local application to the abdomen or chest-wall is indicated in the treatment of chronic bronchitis and tuberculosis. Satisfactory results in these cases are often obtained in a comparatively short period of time. CAMPHORATED PHENOL-PETROGEN (Carbolic Acid, crystals, .125; Camphor, .375 ; Liquid Petrogen, .500). — Physicians will appreciate the value of a preparation which combines the soothing, germicidal and anti- septic properties of camphor and phenic acid with a bland, non-irritating and rapidly penetrating vehicle such as Petrogen, and they may demon- strate to their own satisfaction, by personal tests, the advantages of Cam- phorated Phenol-Petrogen as a -dressing for lacerated and incised wounds, to insure asepsis following surgical operations, and for the antiseptic treatment of the various acute and chronic forms of inflammation, especially those of suppurative nature. In the treatment of hemorrhoids, pruritus of the anus and of the scrotum, and all localized itching of the surface, Camphorated Phenol- Petrogen should be rubbed on gently with cotton, or applied with the forefinger, as often as may be found necessary in the judgment of the attending physician. Boils may be much alleviated, and often aborted, by placing on them a pledget of cotton saturated with the preparation and renewing the dressing three or four times a day. For the stings of insects and the bites of animals, which are frequently of a septic nature, it should be applied to the wound on absorbent cotton and retained with a handkerchief or other bandage. Camphorated Phenol-Petrogen is a valuable deodorant to correct fetor arising from infected sores, syphilitic ulcerations and malignant growths. In pneumonia, bronchitis, pleurisy, deep-seated pain and localized areas of inflammation, physicians will find that brisk rubbing with this preparation over the parts affected will cause a lessening of the inflammation and afford relief from pain. As a spray, either pure or diluted with a bland oil such as olive oil, it will prove useful in preserving cleanliness, in reducing inflammation and Kindly specify " WyETh's " when prescribing. 267 in allaying irritation in acute and chronic rhinitis, stomatitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and other affections of the respiratory tract. In atrophic rhinitis, pieces of cotton saturated with the preparation and placed for several moments over the ulcers will materially lessen the offensive odor peculiar to this disease. The attending physician may use it in such strength as may be best suited to the individual case. By spraying the nostrils with dilute Camphorated Phenol-Petrogen at the very onset of an acute cold the disease may often be aborted. In chronic local eczema and in other forms of skin disease with itching or infection, applications on cotton or gauze should be resorted to at fre- quent intervals. In fact, Camphorated Phenol-Petrogen is indicated in all forms of abrased integument, infected sores and in any condition in which it is desirable to utilize the beneficial, soothing, healing and germi- cidal properties of a preparation of this character. Camphorated Phenol-Petrogen will immediately relieve the pain and inflammation of burns and should be applied with cotton or linen. It should not be applied over large areas, on account of the possible absorp- tion of carbolic acid in combination. General Directions for Use. — Camphorated Phenol-Petrogen may be applied with the hand, on cotton or on gauze, as may be preferred. The strength of the solution may be reduced to any desired percentage by the addition of olive oil or other bland oil. GUAIACOL-PETROGEN Globules, 5 minims (Guaiacol, Pure, 1 minim), are especially valuable in the treatment of chronic laryngitis and bronchi- tis, and may be found particularly useful in the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. CARBOLIC- ACID-PETROGEN (2 and 5 per cent.)— The field of useful- ness for this valuable antiseptic has been greatly enlarged by its combi- nation with this rapidly-absorbing base, in combination with which it penetrates at once throughout the affected tissues and exerts its germi- cidal action upon the bacteria present. It is indicated in the treatment of all sores, abrasions, ulcerations and, in fact, any condition requiring the use of carbolic acid. Applications in pruritus ani will materially lessen the itching and allay the irritation. MENTHOL-PETROGEN (5 per cent. )— The desirable therapeutic prop- erties of menthol are greatly enhanced in value by the combination with a Petrogen vehicle, as it favors the rapid absorption of the menthol through an inflamed mucous membrane, and is not washed away with the serous discharge, which often occurs when menthol applications are made to the respiratory tract. This preparation retains and manifests to a marked degree the beneficial, stimulating action of the medicament. We will be very glad to send clinical excerpts on Petrogen combinations on applica- tion. PHOSPHATED KOLA COMP. (KOLA-PHOS.) A highly concentrated combination of Kola, Celery, Guarana and Coca, with Acid Phosphoric, deliriously aromatized. Relieves headache, nausea, nervous debility, fatigue of mind and body ; is particularly indicated in cases of exhaustion due to over-excitement or mental strain, insomnia, loss of appetite. The vitalizing properties of the acid phosphates are recognized by all medical men, which, in conjunction with the tonic, sedative, stomachic and strengthening specific properties of the above adjuncts, render this 268 Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. preparation one of great merit, particularly during the debilitating influ- ences of our protracted hot summer months. One or two teaspoonfuls of Phosphated Kola Comp. in a tumbler of carbonated or iced water, sweetened, makes a delightful, refreshing and invigorating beverage. May be taken two or three times a day. PICRATED GLYKAOLIN. (SEE GI,YKAOI,IN, PICRATED.) PICRATOL. One remedy after another for the treatment of urethritis has been exploited among the medical profession, only to be discarded after a few years of popularity. Of these silver nitrate alone has survived by reason of its marked action upon the gonococci ; but this, because of its excori- ating and destructive character, has now fallen into disuse, excepting as generally applied to specific ulcers by means of the endoscope. Of late numerous albuminates of silver, under as many different names, have been placed upon the market, claiming to be true organic salts of silver. But the difference between a salt and an albuminate should be borne in mind — the former being a definite combination of silver with an acid, forming a new compound, the medical properties of which are usually a combination of the physiological action of the acid and base employed, while an albuminate of silver may contain any proportion of the metal (one, two, three, five, ten and even thirty per cent. ) , the proportion varying according to the manipulation of the process employed. It is a recognized fact that the treatment of urethritis demands a germi- cide which will not injure the healthy mucous membrane with which it must of necessity come in contact, a drug which has a marked analgesic action, a chemical possessing great healing powers, allaying the inflam- mation of mucous surfaces and preventing the pathological secretion of mucus. We have recently succeeded in producing a chemical fulfilling all these requirements, which has been employed in the treatment of cer- vicitis and vaginitis, and is rapidly coming into general use. This product, Picratol, is the result of a complicated process, a combination of silver with acid carbazotic (C 6 H2(N02) 3OH) , commonly known as acid picric. Picratol contains thirty percent, silver, a far greater proportion than most of the albuminates above referred to, and retains not merely the medical properties of the silver, but possesses in addition the antiseptic, analgesic and healing properties of the picric acid. As a prophylactic, Picratol suppositories will be found efficient if intro- duced into the urethra within a few hours after coitus. Picratol will entirely destroy all gonococci contained in the urethra. During the first stage of the disease, douching with an aqueous solution of Picratol by means of a Valentine irrigator or hand syringe, in as strong a solution as the patient can endure, will usually check the diseased process. If, how- ever, the glands have become deeply invaded, the use of Picratol supposi- tories or bougies is suggested ; and if the disease has progressed until the infected glands have become localized ulcerated surfaces, the introduction of a Picratol suppository after urinating will be followed by slight burning succeeded by a soothing, benumbing sensation, due to the analgesic action of the acid picric. The glycerin in the suppository will cause an exuda- tion of the purulent mucus contained in the glands, by virtue of its hygroscopic action ; and as the gonococci-laden material reaches the urethra, the Picratol will destroy the bacteria. But the action of Picratol is not merely that of a germicide, since it is at this point that the picric acid in the combination diminishes the action Kindly specify " Wyeth's ' when prescribing. 269 of the mucous cells, and so checks the secretion of mucus. The work of healing apparently commences shortly after the introduction of the sup- pository ; and if the treatment is continued night and morning for a few days the discharge will entirely cease, leaving the urethra in a fair way to regain its healthy condition. Picratol not only checks the purulent pro- cess but stimulates the epithelial cells to rapid proliferation, and the denuded surface is speedily healed. The great advantage of Picratol over all other gonorrhoeal remedies lies in the fact that it effectually prevents the formation of scar-tissue, and thus the danger of resultant strictures is reduced to a minimum. It is believed that Picratol is the only drug possessing this advantage, and too much stress cannot be laid upon this important fact. This is due to the acid picric in the combination, since it is well established that the cicatrices of burns treated with acid picric contract but very little, far less than those of similar burns treated with any other local application. The marked action of Picratol is not confined to mucous membranes, but it produces excellent results upon epithelial surfaces as well. Here it may be employed in aqueous or alcoholic solution, or, preferably, as Picratol Paste. Ulcers heal rapidly, parasitic lesions and subdermal inflammations disappear under its use, while verruca, painted with alco- holic solution of Picratol or Picratol Collodion , shrink and disappear. In mastitis the swelling subsides under the use of a paste prepared with Pic- ratol and Glykaolin (Pasta Alumini Silicatis Comp.) as a base, unless the case has already reached the suppurative stage, when it will be necessary to open the abscess and cleanse the parts with an aqueous solution. As a one-twentieth of one per cent, aqueous solution (7.7 grains in 1 quart of water making a 1 : 2000 solution) it may be used in irrigation or douching with exceptionally good results. Very favorable reports have also been received where it has been employed as a saturated alcoholic solution (one and three-quarters per cent.) in catarrhal affections of the nose and throat. PREPARED FOOD. (SEE FOOD, PREPARED.) QUINQUINIA. THE ALKALOIDS OE CINCHONA BARK BEFORE ISOLATION. Quinine 15 per cent. Quinidine 15 per cent. Cinchonidine 15 per cent. Cinchonine 25 per cent. Chinoidine (purified Alkaloid) 30 per cent. It has long been used in hospital, dispensary and private practice, with uniformly good results. We have received from our representatives, who come into personal contact with so many doctors all over the United States, most convincing proofs of the admirable therapeutic results arising from its administration, the claim being urged positively that, grain for grain, it is as efficient as quinine sulphate, with the advantage of not being nearly so apt to induce cerebral excitement, and of proving more lasting in its antiperiodic influence, a superiority always claimed for the mixed alkaloids and the bark over the single salt, and, we believe, deservedly. It is generally preferred in a large majority of cases to qui- nine sulphate or cinchonidine, being their equal, if not their superior, in therapeutic value. Implicit reliance can be placed on its always being furnished of exact strength and uniform quality. Dose. — Two to five grains. 270 Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. RED GUM LOZENGES. ASTRINGENT, STYPTIC, ANTISEPTIC. It has been a matter of surprise to us that the use of Red Gum has been so limited among physicians of the United States ; in Great Britain and on the Continent it is largely prescribed with most flattering results, while in Australia it is used to the exclusion of almost every other vegetable astringent. Red Gum is the resinous exudation from the bark of the Eucalyptus Rostrata found in western Australia. In the form of a lozenge it is admirably adapted and effective as a remedy in all cases of relaxed uvula, inflamed mucous membranes and bronchial tubes, ulcerated sore mouth and gums, and its local action as an astringent, styptic and antiseptic is most marked ; its peculiar styptic effect upon all mucous surfaces, partic- ularly the fauces, deadens the sensibilities, thus sheathing and producing a soothing, calmative effect, lessening the tendency to cough and relieving the soreness. We know of no lozenge or combination that we have here- tofore placed before the profession that has so many elements of merit, or is so effective in its action. Dose. — A lozenge to be allowed to dissolve slowly in the mouth every two or three hours, or two or three may be taken in succession if the cough is severe and irritating. RENNET GLYCEROLE. A concentrated solution of Rennet in C. P. Glycerine. This Glycerole of Rennet will be found both economical, convenient and reliable in the manufacture of all liquid preparations of Rennet, such as L,iquid Rennet, Digestive Essence, Wine of Rennet, or in the prepara- tion of the desserts — slip, junket, frugolac, etc. Each nuidrachm contains six grains pure Rennet and will make a firm curd with ten to twelve pints of lukewarm milk in a few minutes. In preparing any of the liquid preparations of Rennet a requisite quan- tity of the Glycerole of Rennet should be used with due regard to its high strength. RENNET, GRANULAR (1 : 15,000). One grain of this Rennet is more than sufficient to firmly curd one quart of milk in a few minutes. RENNET, GRANULAR (1 : 30,000).

Each ounce of Sanguiform contains 2. 5 grains of Natural Organic Iron together with all the albuminoids and saline constituents of one and one-quarter ounces of normal healthy blood, rendered palatable by the addition of aromatics. Sanguiform is a preparation of the blood of healthy warm-blooded animals, containing all of its normal constituents, ascertained by careful examination, and so preserved as to remain unchanged in any climate, at the same time rendered agreeable to the taste of both young and old, while it may be taken freely without ulterior ill effects. The constitution of Sanguiform furnishes the measure of its real utility as a remedy. Containing the materials of which the blood is com- posed, it is a valuable reconstituent in those maladies characterized by deficiency in the number and quality of the red-blood globules. In the debility succeeding acute diseases, as a restorative in chronic wasting dis- eases and in depressed states of the organic functions it is an effective and readily applied remedy. Partly owing to facility of administration, it is particularly useful in these conditions occuring in children. In chronic malarial diseases and in splenic affections, with impoverished blood, and the haemoglobin and corpuscular elements below normal, Sanguiform furnishes the materials for ready restoration. This is also true of stru- mous affections, enlarged glands, suppurative processes of neck and ears, and the debility and anaemia which accompany these states, especially in early life. It is more particularly in anaemia, and in that variety known as per- nicious anaemia, that Sanguiform is indicated. Here it furnishes the materials from which the blood globules may be easily elaborated. When, however, the destruction of the red-blood globules and the increase in the white are due to malignant diseases of the blood-forming organs, no remedy can be permanently effective. Sanguiform also promises to be 272 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. a most useful expedient in that malady cognate to anaemia— chlorosis — in which anaemia or a low amount of the corpuscular elements is associated with amenorrhoea. In the state of the system succeeding hemorrhage, whether pulmonary or of any other form, it may be administered freely, and thus cause early restoration of the blood. It also has important uses as a means of general support to the organism. In addition to the com- bined organic iron, Sanguiform contains as well the albuminous constitu- ents of the serum of the blood and all those sanguineous salts, including the phosphates and other salines, present in normal healthy blood, and which have been found of special utility in certain disorders of the ner- vous system — viz., in scleroses of the cord, in exophthalmic goitre and in sexual debility. In respect to the last named, Sanguiform is appli- cable in a special degree, as it furnishes to the generative apparatus the material for the ready restoration of function. Besides its direct application to the morbid states mentioned, it may be successfully used as a substitute or vehicle for the administration of cod-liver oil. The special place of the oil as a remedy is due to its adapt- ability to the formation of the molecular basis of chyle, the first stage in the process by which the red-blood corpuscles are elaborated Sanguiform, being composed of the material forming blood, may properly take the place of such agents as the oils and other materials for the constructive metamorphosis of the body. As a tonic and reconstituent, Sanguiform has the advantage of being free from any irritant action, and it may be administered freely and con- tinuously without causing any disturbance of the stomach or digestion. Sanguiform will be found equally available for the physician in the treatment of all cases of anaemia, chlorosis, neurasthenia, diseases of the lungs and chest, scrofula, rickets, general debility, marasmus, and as a nutrient tonic in the convalescence of all wasting diseases involving in any way an impoverishment of the blood. Dose. — For infants, ten drops to one-half teaspoonful, twice daily, in milk or water ; for children, from one-half to one teaspoonful, according to age, twice daily, in milk or water ; for adults, from one teaspoonful to one tablespoonful, twice daily, after meals. SEVETOL. (SMDI,. SEVI COMP. — WYETH.) Sevetol is a natural emulsion of mixed fats with proteids and carbo- hydrates. The combined fats, consisting of butter fat, beef fat, olive oil, lard and peanut oil, constitute thirty-three per cent, of the whole mixture. This preparation presents the most nutritious and vital substances in a form requiring the expenditure of very little energy on the part of the system to insure rapid absorption and assimilation. It provides the ele- ments necessary for the reconstruction of wasted tissues and also supplies an available source of heat and energy. As a result of exhaustive laboratory experiments, it has been conclu- sively proven that different fats have varying degrees of nutritive value, and we have selected for this preparation only those fats demonstrated by clinical experience to be highest in nutritive content and to possess the power of most rapidly and uniformly increasing the body weight. We cannot too strongly urge physicians to demonstrate to their own satisfac- tion bv clinical test that all we claim concerning the superiority of Seve- tol is fully warranted in that it meets the demand for a product that is palatable and perfectly acceptable to the most delicate and fastidious patients, while, at the same time, it effectually repairs the great tissue destruction incident to wasting diseases such as tuberculosis, rickets in Kindly specify "WyeTh'S" when prescribing. 273 children, anaemia and neurasthenia, the various infectious and contagious diseases, and, in fact, all pathologic conditions resulting from malnutri- tion. The normal digestion of fats consists largely of a minute division of the oil globules preparatory to their absorption by the intestinal villi, and it is this minute division of the oil globules in Sevetol that constitutes a most important factor in their complete utilization in supplying body nutrition, as every portion of the preparation is readily absorbed through the intestinal wall. The administration of Sevetol does not tax the digestive power of the patient, for it is absorbed with very little effort on the part of the digestive apparatus ; and even if the organs of digestion be involved, neither the weakness of the patient nor the severity of the symptoms necessarily contraindicates its use. The amount ingested is limited only by the power of assimilation exhibited in the tissues, and it may be given in large doses for a continued period of time, or until symptoms of over- feeding are produced, such as coated tongue, anorexia, constipation, headache and lassitude. When these symptoms appear, the administra- tion of Sevetol should be temporarily discontinued and a mild but effect- ive laxative given for several days, after which its use may be resumed. In starvation, life is temporarily sustained by the nutrition supplied through the absorption of the fats stored up in the tissues. These being exhausted, the proteid material of the muscles and various organs is oxi- dized to supply the necessary requirements of the organism. As the fats are the more readily available nutriment, and therefore an important fac- tor in maintaining nutritive or metabolic processes, the value of Sevetol in the treatment of all forms of disease in which there is a great demand for a substance that will supply the necessary energy, and prevent tissue destruction which would otherwise take place, will be readily appreciated. Sevetol is of very great importance as a conserver of tissue, and its liberal use is especially indicated in the treatment of all diseases attended with marked tissue waste. It is a well known fact that the tissues require a certain amount of proteid to supply the requisite nitrogen ; in fact, proteid is absolutely necessary for the formation of new protoplasm, and it is for this reason that, in addition to carefully selected fats, we have added to Sevetol an easily assimilable form of proteid. Sevetol contains the elements most essential to the human economy — namely, proteids, fats and carbohydrates. The latter are very easily and rapidly utilized to supply the wants of the system ; the fats more slowly, but it is conceded by all authorities that they afford a much larger source of energy than either proteids or carbohydrates ; while the proteid con- stituent enters into the formation of new tissue and repairs the broken- down cell structure. This preparation is of great value in the treatment of all cases of defec- tive nutrition, extreme weakness, prostration, convalescence from any dis- ease, lessening of the vital powers, etc., as it will not only supply the necessary heat and energy required by an active organism, but it presents also the life-sustaining principles essential to rapid convalescence. In acute and chronic forms of bronchitis occurring in adults or chil- dren, this preparation will prove a valuable adjunct to any other treatment the attending physician may employ, as it exerts a soothing influence on the sensitive and inflamed membrane, supplies an abundant source of nourishment and reinforces the tissues, thereby facilitating their more rapid recuperation from the effects of the disease. Sevetol will prove extremely valuable in the treatment of rachitis, in which the digestive power is usually deficient ; for little effort is required of the digestive apparatus to induce the absorption of Sevetol, and the 18 274 Kindly specify "Wybth's" when prescribing. beneficial effects following its administration will be found very great. It is strongly indicated for the wasting, emaciation and general atrophy of marasmus, as it takes an important part in tissue reconstruction and stimulates metabolism. In cases of intestinal disturbance, torpidity of the liver and disease of the pancreas where there is interference with digestion, especially of the fats, Sevetol should prove of paramount importance by virtue of its being readily absorbed. During the convalescence from pneumonia, typhoid fever and the infectious diseases, there usually exists an impoverished condition of the blood with a lessened power of resistance in the various tissues ; in fact, the vital powers are very much lowered, and it is neces- sary to administer, in addition to the nourishment usually taken, an easily digestible and assimilable preparation. Clinical experience will fully demonstrate that Sevetol fulfills all the requirements of these cases. While Sevetol will prove of value in the treatment of all wasting dis- eases, it will be found particularly useful in pulmonary tuberculosis, leading medical authorities agree that it is extremely essential that a larger percentage of fats be ingested by tubercular patients than by per- sons in health • but the former cases usually have a very strong aversion to fatty foods. Even the continued use of cod-liver oil and similar prepa- rations is contraindicated by reason of the repugnance which they induce. However, the palatability of Sevetol renders it entirely practicable to omit from the diet of tubercular patients the forced feeding of fatty foods ; and if liberal quantities of this preparation be given, its ease of digestion and rapidity of absorption insure a large supply of readily available fats. That the palatability of a food renders it more readily digestible has been proven in a series of exhaustive experiments by Pawlow, in which he demonstrated the favorable influence on the digestive process of a food which is palatable and acceptable to the patient, as it exerts a psychical stimulating effect on the flow of natural juices. It is in the primary stage of tuberculosis that the most gratifying results will attend the use of Sevetol, and the experience of physicians will clearly prove that this preparation will not only cause an almost immediate improvement in the general condition of the patient at this period of the disease, but it will, in many cases, effect an entire cure. Even in the second stage of tuberculosis, in which there is a marked waste of the tissues, Sevetol will not only supply the immediate w T ants of the organism, but will limit the progress of the disease, and, indeed, in many instances, prolong life for a considerable period. By taking an active part in tissue reconstruction it increases tissue resistance, and enables it to more effectually withstand the virulence of the tubercle bacilli. It is customary in tuberculosis to overfeed the patients in an effort to rapidly build up the system ; but as many cases have weakened digestion, with dilatation of the stomach and concomitant symptoms, this method of treatment often proves inadequate. The frequent administration of a preparation of easily assimilable fats such as Sevetol will be well borne by the average patient, and, aside from supplying the tissues with the proper nourishment, will often, by reason of its easy digestion, aid in correcting disturbances of the stomach and intestines. The administration of Sevetol should be governed entirely by the power of assimilation of the individual patient. In the beginning small doses should be given, and these should be rapidly increased to the point of toleration of the tissues in utilizing the nourishment. In a general way, it may be stated that the more destructive the disease and the greater the tissue waste, the larger the dose of Sevetol. One dessertspoonful to two tablespoonfuls should be given two or three times a day, in iced milk, water or wine, increasing the dose every several Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 275 days. Children should be given one to two teaspoonfuls at a dose, increas- ing according to age. We cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of the fact that Sevetol presents not only the mixed fats, but also proteids and carbohydrates, iu a permanent and very palatable emulsion, which will not suffer deterioration at an ordinary temperature.

We have succeeded in preparing a solution that will prove stable, keep indefinitely, free from saline or styptic taste, that will be taken readily by the most sensitive patients and children. We are confident medical men will find it the most desirable preparation heretofore suggested for the administration of the hypophosphites with iron, quinine and strych- nine, perhaps the most efficient combination as a general tonic, and to supply the waste of elementary matter, that could be prescribed. It can be given for a continued time without disagreeing with the stomach, in fact, aiding digestion and nutrition.

By adding creasote the antiseptic, antifermentative properties possessed by these salts have been materially increased, as well as their efficacy in gastro- intestinal disorders and in phthisis. A solution of the hypophosphites, with an acid reaction and rendered aseptic, is certainly an improve- ment on other methods of preparation. Their powers are greatly in- creased by acting in such a medium ; for not only is the slight acidity a necessary stimukis to the appetite and digestion — important adjuncts to the reconstituent effects of these salts — but the salts themselves retain their peculiar powers better in the presence of an acid. Moreover, as this solution contains no sugar, it can be used in diseases where the presence of a fermentative substance is objectionable. In such a disease as diabetes, for example, in some stages of it particularly, the hypophos- phites are very useful ; but as they have been usually prepared in the form of syrups, which contain a large proportion of sugar, their valuable tonic powers have by this concomitant been rendered of little avail to an important contingent of invalids and convalescents. The presence, too, of an antiferment like creasote is an important item in the treatment of diabetes and of intestinal dyspepsias and disorders of the portal system. These troubles largely depend upon the prolonged existence of ferments in the intestinal tract, and creasote is exceedingly powerful in destroying those low vegetable organisms by which the process of fermentation is caused. It is, however, more particularly for the sake of its power in con- sumption, in the therapy of which creasote occupies the first place at the present day, that we have added it to this solution. We have, in this way, combined its antiseptic, germicide properties with the reconstituent, tonic effects of the hypophosphites, as well as with their effects upon appetite, digestion and assimilation. It is not long since the hypophos- phites were considered specifics in consumption. Although it is hardly possible, now that Koch's discovery of the bacillus has revealed the real cause of that disease, to accept the theory of the specificity of these salts, it is certain that in practice "they increase the appetite and digestion, regenerate the blood, diminish cough and expectoration, improve in a striking manner the general health, and even bring about actual cures." (See Dujardin-Beaumetz, Diet, de Therapeutique, t. iv, p. 236 ; Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 277 Thorowgood, "On Consumption and its Treatment by the Hypophos- phites," second, edition, London ; Dechambre, Gaz. hebd., 1858, p. 686.) Dr. Churchill, an American physician residing in Paris, introduced the hypophosphites into medical practice. His success with them in the treatment of phthisis was striking. Of thirty-five cases, of varying degrees of gravity, reported in his first pamphlet, he gives nine cured. In another edition of this work he shows even better results. Of seventy- nine cases of tuberculosis of one lung he had eleven cures ; out of fifty- four with both lungs affected he reports twenty-five improved, ten cured. (De la Cause et du Traitement specifique de la Phthisie pulmonaire, Paris.) Such favorable results prompted a good many trials of the hypophos- phites in France, England and America. Dr. Thorowgood, an excellent authority, after five years' experience with them, writes as follows: " In very many of these cases decided and unmistakable good came of their administration, and that, too, when other well devised means of cure had proved useless." {Loc. cit., p. 8.) Again, speaking of one hundred cases of undoubted phthisis, he says, " Twenty were most decidedly and perma- nently benefited by the use of the hypophosphites of sodium and lime." (P. 10.) Sentences such as these, coming from such an authority, are unmistakable evidence of a real advance in therapeutics — an advance that will be seen in its true importance if we quote Dr. Williams's opinion of the unfavorable conditions of treatment anterior to Dr. Churchill's discovery. " During seven years," says Dr. Williams, " I have observed six thousand cases of consumption, and of these only twenty-four proved real cures." That this enormous mortality has been lessened is certainly due, among other causes, to the introduction of the hypophosphites. With reference to the value of particular salts, it has been observed that the hypophosphite of lime exerts an especially wholesome action in consumption. The precise raison d'itre of this is not absolutely known. As an - explanation, it has been noted that workers in limekilns enjoy almost complete immunity from phthisis. (Berliner kl. Wochenschrift, 1888.) This immunity is very likely due to the contact of lime, much of which is absorbed in the lungs of these workers. The lime salt is found to be more efficient than the other hypophosphites in checking the troublesome "night-sweats" of consumptives. (Lancet, vol. i, 1876, p. 704.) The hypophosphite of strychnine, besides its excellent general effects in phthisis, does good chiefly by stimulating the appetite. Dr. Felix Wolfe, an able and cautious authority, recommends it for that pur- pose. (Die Moderne Behandlung der Lungenschwindsucht, Weisbaden, 1894, p. 143.) According to the same authority, iron is an excellent remedy in consumption. Its action, however, as well as that of the hypophosphite of quinine, hardly needs extended notice. On the blood, tissue metamorphosis, appetite and assimilation in the debility of con- sumptives, the tonic effect of these salts should not be dispensed with. In the treatment of consumption, the combination of the hypophos- phites and creasote should be very effective. Creasote supplies here that necessary property in which the hypophosphites are deficient, namely, the power of destroying germs. Creasote is undoubtedly (if we may believe the authorities) the first remedy at the present day in phthisis. Its power here depends upon several properties, which seem to belong to it alone, viz. : — ■ (1) It is excreted by the lungs, and keeps them in a condition of asepsis, very hostile to the growth and reception of bacilli. (2) It may be given in large doses. (3) It may be continued, if given properly diluted, for a long period. The first attribute is the most important. A sufficient dose in a short time diffuses in the lungs, in the form of a faint vapor of extreme density, permeating the cellular tissue and air spaces, and maintaining therein 278 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. what has been excellently termed by Dr. LauTh an "antiseptic atmos- phere." He thus describes his experience of creasote among the habituks of the L-eydin Sanatorium (Vaudoise Alps) : "It has a favorable effect in nearly all cases. This result . . . possesses a very great importance, and permits us to believe that the favor enjoyed by this medicament is not destined to disappear. If we admit, in fact (and recent investigations authorize us in doing so), that the consumptive is peculiarly liable to secondary attacks of infection, that these are the principal causes of the bad general condition of the patient, of the fever, sweats, abundance of expectoration, and consequently of the progressive and rapid course of the disease, we can only congratulate ourselves upon having in our hands an agent that maintains permanently in the lungs an antiseptic atmos- phere and combats with advantage the secondary infection, that, by making the pulmonary lesion a purely local affair, allows the body to recruit its forces, and finally, after a period more or less lengthy, come out free from the tubercular lesion itself. " (Congres pour V Etude de la Tuberculose, Paris, 1894, p. 362.) The "secondary infection" (a renewed invasion of bacilli) is a very noteworthy circumstance in the growth of tuberculosis of the lungs. A proper study of it reveals the danger of the disease, and incidentally the curative powers of creasote. The " secondary infection " is brought about by the combined action in the lungs of the bacillus tuberculosis and the />ws-forming germs, the streptococcus pyogenes aureus. It happens that the latter is the more destructive of the two, and that without its assistance the bacillus has a comparatively feeble effect. The bacillus, in truth, has little chance in a healthy lung, but where a proper soil has been prepared for it by the streptococcus pyogenes aureus (as after a purulent pneu- monia) it grows rapidly. The use of creasote in such circumstances is of essential importance, for creasote rapidly destroys the pus-forming germs (Marfori) ; and while its effect on the development of the bacilli is not so satisfactory, it is sufficient to check their growth, and, consequently, the course of the disease. (Cornet, Guttmann, Sommerbrodt.) It is for these reasons that creasote is a remedy of conspicuous utility in consumption. Admirable results have been reported from the use of the pure form, the so-called "wood creasote," of which we give a sample in this solution. It is to be borne in mind that the reported failures are due to the use of the ordinary drug, " the mineral oil creasote," whose properties are irritating. (BurlurEaux, Gaz. des Hop., No. 71, 1894; Bouchard and GiMBERT, Bull, de Ther., No. 93, 1877.) Very agreeable preparations of creasote are now made, which we combine, where occasion requires it, in this solution — preparations of hardly the same efficacy as pure creasote, but, possessing no taste and odor, they are sometimes pre- ferred. Such are " creasotal," or the carbonate of creasote, guaiacol and its carbonate, etc. Good results have been obtained with these in phthisis. Collin reports excellent effects in tubercular cystitis with guaiacol. It is also, locally applied, a powerful antipyretic. Burlureaux, Bouchard and Gimbert, Sommerbrodt, Wilcox, GoTTHEiL, HoLTSCHER and others have used creasote and its prepara- tions in a very large number of cases of consumption with marked suc- cess. Bouchard and GimberT had twenty-five cures out of ninety-three cases; Burlureaux, fifteen, in very advanced stages, out of three hun- dred. HoLTSCHER had good results from the employment of the carbo- nate of guaiacol. It is mild in its action, but effective. (Cenlralbl. fiir die Ges. Therapie, 1895, p. 123.) Dr. Wilcox, of New York, speaks in the same terms of it. Finally, it might be mentioned that Sommerbrodt, who has employed creasote in five thousand cases of consumption, is a warm supporter of it. Next in importance to their uses in phthisis are the applications 01 Kindly specify ' ' Wyeth's ' ' when prescribing . 279 the hypophosphites to all conditions of debility from overwork, worry, excess, etc., in impotence, arnzmia and spermatorrhoea. Iron, strychnine and phosphorus are in these states powerful agents of restoration and repair, acting energetically upon the processes of nutrition, and building up in a general way the wasted system. In preparing this solution we have taken into consideration the points raised in the preceding paragraphs. "We have succeeded, we are confident, in getting up a convenient, safe, palatable and likewise permanent solu- tion, that may be taken by women and children and the most delicate. Indeed, for invalid women and children suffering from loss of appetite and inanition it will be found an invaluable tonic. Dose. — For an adult, one dessertspoonful immediately before or after each meal ; for a child, one-half to one teaspoonful, according to age or condition of patient. SOLUTION PEPTONATE OF IRON AND MANGANESE. (Neutral.) (LIQUOR MANGANO-FERRI PEPTONATUS— WYETH.) FOR ANEMIA, CHLOROSIS, SCROFULA, DFBIIJTY. It is a valuable attainment of the medical and pharmaceutical art to so adapt organic and inorganic substances in combination that the results will meet the chemistry of the animal organism and not be negatived. This is believed to be attained completely by the union of iron and man- ganese with peptone. It often happens that the metallic salts are simply ingested when given as a medicine, remaining for a time wholly inactive in the intestinal course and then being ejected without change. With iron and manganese, however, in assimilable solution, and the digestive operations partly initiated by the introduction of soluble peptone, this difficulty is removed. Observation and recorded experience have abun- dantly confirmed this anticipation, and the value of the peptone addition may be summarized thus : 1. By association with peptone the albuminates of iron and manganese become " digested," or, in other words, much of the labor of the stomach and pancreas in this respect is saved. 2. Peptone is a body that is not provided abundantly by the stomach, even in health ; hence its artificial administration is, for weak digestion, a desideratum. 3. It is a necessary adjunct of pancreatic digestion. 4. It is easily absorbed. 5. It increases peristaltic action. The substance of the intestinal membrane, subjected to chemical anal- ysis, presents unmistakable evidence of the presence of iron ; and although the tests for manganese have not been carried to the same extent, it may, with reason, be inferred that precisely the same results do occur with that metal under tbe same conditions. It is a notable fact that without the peptone association these results do not occur in a sufficiently marked degree to become appreciable. Again, peptone is clearly recognized as a stimulant to all the digestive processes. It is known to increase the peristaltic or muscular action of intestinal surfaces, and the general accel- eration promotes the absorption of all substances exposed to the action. It also lessens the astringency of the salt of iron, which has always here- tofore been an insurmountable impediment to its exhibition in the usual accessible form. The fact that iron and manganese are both found, normally, in the haemoglobin of red blood-corpuscles points to the value of 280 Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. their use when these constituents are palpably absent, as they undoubtedly are in that wide range of indications which are characterized by anaemia, both moderate and profound. Dr. Robert L. PiTFIEXD, who has made an especial study of the action of our own preparation of Peptonate of Iron and Manganese, noticed in his cases a gain of haemoglobin of three and even eight per cent. He tested the weight of his patients and observed a satisfactory gain in that respect also. To sum up, our Peptonate of Iron and Manganese will be found very useful in the following diseases: scrofula, anaemia, chlorosis, amenorrhcea, debility from various causes, convalescence from acute fevers and surgical operations, nervous maladies, such as Graves's disease, neurasthenia, epilepsy, cretinism and any other nervous condition requiring a tonic, strengthening medicine, in rickets, pyloric stenosis, phthisis, diabetes, etc. This remedy is of pleasant neutral taste. It can readily be taken in a little water, milk or sweet wine free from tannin, as may be preferred. It is non-astringent and does not injure the teeth or constipate the bowels. Dose. — For an adult, one tablespoonful well diluted with water, milk or sweet wine, thee or four times a day ; for a child, one to two tea- spoonfuls ; for an infant, fifteen to sixty drops, according to directions of attending physician. SOLUTION PEPTONATE OF IRON AND MAN- GANESE WITH ARSENIC. Each fluidounce contains Peptonized Albuminate of Iron 52 grains Peptonized Albuminate of Manganese 8 grains Acid Arsenious 1-30 grain Dose. — For an adult, one tablespoonful well diluted with water, milk or sweet wine, three or four times a day ; for a child, one to two teaspoon- fuls ; for an infant, fifteen to sixty drops, according to direction of attending physician. SOLUTION PEPTONATE OF IRON AND MAN- GANESE WITH CASCARA SAGRADA. Each fluidounce contains Peptonized Albuminate of Iron S2 grains Peptonized Albuminate of Manganese S grains Fluid Extract Cascara Sagrada 40 minims Dose. — For an adult, one tablespoonful well diluted with water, milk, or sweet wine, three or four times a day ; dose for a child is one to two teaspoonfuls ; and for an infant, fifteen to sixty drops, according to direc- tion of attending physician. SOLUTION SODIUM PHOSPHATE. Each fluidrachm contains sixty grains Sodium Phosphate. While we cannot commend too highly the granular effervescing form for administering sodium phosphate, physicians not infrequently prefer a liquid preparation, and in such cases our Solution Sodium Phosphate will meet the requirements. The unpleasant results frequently attending the continued administration of heavy liquids will not follow the use of Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 281 the Solution, but, on the other hand, it will neutralize the condition of the stomach and act as a general stomachic tonic. Dose. — As an antacid, one- half teaspoonful in water, at meal-time ; as a laxative, one to three tablespoonfuls in hot water, before breakfast. For children the above doses should be subdivided according to age. SPENCER'S CHLORAMINE PASTILLES. FOR THE CURB OF HOARSENESS, SORE THROAT, BRONCHITIS, CODGH AND OTHER DERANGEMENTS OF THE BREATHING TUBES AND LUNGS. These are absolutely the most pleasant and efficacious pastilles yet introduced for the relief of the various disorders of the respiratory organs induced by the changeableness of the climate. As the name implies, the principal ingredient of these pastilles is ammonium muriate, which is itself a valuable remedy for the cure of many bronchial affections, and is here associated with other medicines having a powerful calmative influence over the mucous membrane of the respiratory tubes, thereby adding effectiveness to the pastilles and extending their range of usefulness. Influenza, hoarseness, soreness of throat, or any irritation of the throat arising from cold, will almost invariably be relieved by the use of a few of the pastilles. For clearing and strengthening the voice, they will be found very serviceable. Directions. — Allow one of the pastilles at a time to dissolve slowly in the mouth, taking from eight to twelve during the twenty-four hours. SUCCUS TARAXACI. (dandelion juice.) This preparation embodies, in a very convenient and agreeable form, the stomachic and tonic virtues of the plant. It is, moreover, a mild laxative, promoting the secreting action of the liver, and may be com- bined to great advantage with diuretics in cases of abdominal dropsy. In making this article we use the roots, collected in November before the first frosts, when the juice is thick and gluing and its medicinal properties are most powerful. The formula employed is based upon that of Mr. Peter Squire, of London, to whom is due the 'credit of first suggesting the therapeutical use of the fresh juice of plants. To the many physicians who are aware of the value of taraxacum as a stimulant of the biliary secretions, and thus as a promoter of the natural action of the bowels, we are sure that this excellent and reliable preparation will readily commend itself. Dose. — One to four teaspoonfuls. SUPRARENAL GLAND, DESICCATED. (PHYSIOLOGICALLY TESTED. ) The therapeutic value of the suprarenal glands, administered inter- nally, has long been conceded. They are especially valuable in the treat- ment of all cardiac disturbances with which is associated a feeble and irregular pulse. They are also indicated in the treatment of Addison's disease, and, in fact, in all conditions in which it is desirable to obtain the cardiac and vaso-motor stimulating action of the suprarenal capsules. For the convenience of physicians when prescribing, we offer the glands in the form of compressed tablets, each containing two grains. 282 Kindly specify "WyeTh's" when prescribing.

TAMPONS, VAGINAL— ANTISEPTIC. (SEE VAGINAL TAMPONS — ANTISEPTIC.) THYPTOL. (LIQUOR EUCALYPTUS COMP.-WYETH.) Thyptol represents the purified active principles of Eucalyptus, Mentha Arvensis, Thyme, Gaultheria and Baptisia Tincloria, with sixteen grains Acid Benzo- Boric in each flaidounce. Thyptol is a liquid, free from all deleterious properties, not irritating but on the contrary balsamic, soothing, healing, of pleasing fragrant odor, suggestive of a cleansing, purifying, refreshing effect. At the ordinary temperature, a mean of 6o° F. , the liquid is transparent and bright, but at a reduced point a slight opacity is produced upon a portion of its con- stituents, but not to the extent of impairing its usefulness or application. Increased warmth restores the natural condition. It mixes freely with water and has no material incompatibility with the liquids of most medi- cines ; particularly is this true of Tincture Iron Chloride, U. S. P., with which the prescriber so frequently finds it desirable to combine it. This property makes its adaptation and dilution for many purposes extremely convenient. It may be only necessary to add that it is a most effective antiseptic of its class of correctives and preventives of milder form (and this term may be assumed to include all properties which markedly dis- tinguish such agents) . The principle and theory of its composition should at once accord it the preference over all other professedly similar compositions for the diversified applications to which it is so well adapted. An assurance to the medical or professional mind that the therapeutic adaptation of a remedy is based upon a scientific knowledge, combined with a skilful and accurate proportionate composition, should of itself be sufficient to establish its use as a recognized therapeutic agent, and this without the aid of individual endorsement, certificate or recommendation which so frequently accompany the presentation of new products for the at- tention of physicians. In gynaecology, rhinology, laryngology, tonsil- litis, otorrhcea, urethritis, cystitis, pharyngitis, conjunctivitis, in zymotic and cutaneous diseases, in indigestion, and last, but not least, in dentistry 284 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. and all surgery, Thyptol will be found a valuable addition to the arma- mentarium of specialists, and a necessary accessory of operations. The merit of a preparation like Thyptol is the most permanent and secure foundation upon which its preference and uses will rest. After such convincing proof is established the commendation of the physician and surgeon constitute a most satisfactory compensation in confirming truth. A more complete risumi of the therapy of Thyptol and its vast field of usefulness will be mailed on application, and the correspondence of physicians is solicited. THYROID GLANDS. (in powder and pill form.) a remedy for obesity, myxcedema and other maladies hitherto incurable. A vast field of therapeutic possibilities has been opened by the dis- covery of the uses of certain animal organs, in which category the substance or an Extract of the Thyroid Gland occupies the first and distinctly the most brilliant place. The value of this remedy is plainly revealed in the results of recent study, experimental and clinical, of the functions of this hitherto mysterious portion of the human economy, of the peculiar maladies that the atrophy and overgrowth as well of the thyroid gland may cause in man, and of the similar affections that its artificial ablation has been observed to cause in animals. Indeed, this striking coincidence of the existence of a natural and an artificial malady both alike caused by the loss or atrophy of the thyroid gland is the fun- damental fact on which all the subsequent theory and proof of the unique value of this extract as a remedy have been established. It is undoubtedly sufficient in itself, and clinical experience has amply demonstrated the truth of an a priori inference. The peculiar cachexia, or disease caused by the atrophy of the thyroid gland was called by its discoverers, Sir William Gull and Dr. Ord, of London, myxcedema. It is more common than its late discovery would seem to show, and the treatment then instituted — arsenic, iron and tonics — was absolutely without avail. The symptoms are, when developed, exceedingly grave and disfiguring: growth of mucin in the connective tissues of the body, due to an abnormal activity of the lymphatic glands, roughening and thickening of the skin of face, hands, rump, etc., loss of hair and weight and appetite, swelling of the lips and eyebrows, protu- berance of the abdomen, perhaps caused by the exceedingly obstinate constipation, profound dulness of mind and sensation (deafness, loss of memory, absence of the sense of smell) , dulness amounting sometimes to idiocy, tremor of the muscles with heightened reflex excitability, a feeling of cold due to the impoverished condition of the blood (decrease of red blood, and increase of white corpuscles, albumen and leucocytes), quickened action of the heart and respiration , together with diminished blood pressure, gradually increasing weakness of mind and body, fitfully interrupted by tetanic and cliotic convulsions, ending, it may even be, in death. These grave symptoms, elaborately described, especially in a recent able monograph by Dr. Buschan ( Ueber Myxodem und vewandle Zustdnde, Leipzig und Wien, 1896, pp. 20 and 105) , are, for the most part, easily and permanently cured by the Thyroid Extract. It has been given thus far chiefly in tabloids or in powders, which are not less effective than the raw gland ; but originally the gland was either transplanted by surgical means Kindly specify "WyETh's" when prescribing. 285 from the sheep to the human subject, as was done first by BeTTancourT and Serrona (Gas. des Hopitaux , 1890, pp. 869, 1225) , by La.nnei,ougue (Bui. med. du Nord, 1890) , by Horsi,ey (Lancet, 1891, ii) and others, or ingested uncooked, in chopped form — a troublesome and disagreeable method. The juice of the gland was also tried, notably by Dr. Murray, of London, with excellent results. It was given, as a rule, by injection. His cases, which numbered six, did well, but his success, striking for that day, is much exceeded now. (Brit. Med. Jour., 1891, ii, p. 796 ; 1892, ii, p. 449. ) It is obvions that the powdered extract made into the form of a tabloid is vastly more convenient than the previous methods of adminis- tration or than the crude expedients just described, and, being equally effective, should be employed without hesitation. With respect to the value and efficacy of the powdered extract, Dr. Byron Bramweli,, of Edinburgh, who has seen and studied more cases of myxcedema than any other authority, having observed no less than twenty-eight examples, these comparatively of a rare disease, says, "The effects produced in cases of myxcedema by the introduction into the organism of a relatively minute quanty of Thyroid Extract, the rapidity with which all the charac- teristic symptoms of the disease disappear under the influence of the thyroid treatment, and the extraordinary improvement, both in the physical and mental condition of sporadic cretins, which result from the regular and prolonged administration of Thyroid Extract, are very remarkable. Indeed, it is no exaggeration to say that the cure of myxce- dema by thyroid treatment is one of the greatest therapeutic achievements of this or any other age, and that the flood of light which has been thrown upon the functions of the thyroid gland by the experimental, pathological and clinical researches of the past few years, and by the marvelous thera- peutic results which have been obtained in cases of myxcedema and spo- radic cretinism, has opened up a wide field of investigation alike for the physiologist, the pathologist and the physician. ' ' That the myxcedematous symptoms undergo immediate improvement after the introduction of a portion of thyroid gland into the abdominal cavity, or into the subcutaneous cellular tissue, and that myxcedema can be cured by the subcutaneous injection of a liquid extract of the thyroid gland, were remarkable discoveries ; but that the administration of the thyroid gland, given either in the raw or partly cooked state, in the form of a liquid extract, or even of a dry powder, is able, when introduced into the body through the stomach, to cause the rapid disappearance of all the myxcedematous symptoms and to lead to a cure of the disease, seems to me still more extraordinary." (Edinburgh Hospital Reports, 1895, pp. 116, 117.) In the subjoined account of his twenty-eight cases of myxce- dema and sporadic cretinism, Dr. Bramweu used the gland either raw, and finely chopped and concealed in rice paper, or in the more convenient tablets, with the same conspicuously remarkable success in both instances. It is scarcely necessary to add that the Thyroid Extract has been employed in myxcedema by every physician of eminence who has met with this strange disease. The published reports of these cases show a uniform success with the remedy, so that the thyroid treatment may be confidently declared a specific mode of therapeutics. Chief among these opinions must be placed the report of the committee of the Clinical Society of London. Their favorable judgment has been supported by a list of physicians too numerous to mention, but among whom may be cited Horsley, Ewaed, BournevieIvE, Ouer, Charcot, Mendel, Marie, Saenger, Bdschan, W. Pasteur, Napier, Garrod, Murreix, of Europe, and Putnam, Barthoi sicians we are prepared to offer the tampons in the following sizes and formulae : LARGE SIZE 7-8x2 5-8 in., holding I dr. of wool In boxes of iz tampons each No. i Unmedicated.

While we recommend the use of our Granular Effervescing Vichy Salts (artificial) as the most satisfactory medium for the preparation of artificial Vichy Water, following a demand made upon us by our many friends among the medical profession and drug trade we have arranged to supply the salts in the form of an effervescing tablet. WARBURG'S TINCTURE. THE CELEBRATED AND WELL-KNOWN EAST-INDIA REMEDY FOR MALARIAL FEVERS. WITH OR WITHOUT ALOES. Each jluidounce represents Rhubarb 3 1-2 grains A ngelica Seed 3 1-2 grains Inula 1 3-4 grains Saffron 1 8-4 grains Fennel 1 3-4 grains Gentian 7-8 grain Zedoary Root 7-8 grain Myrrh 7-8 grain Cubeb 7-8 grain White Agaric 7-8 grain Camphor 7-8 grain Quinine Sulphate 10 grains Also Extract Aloes, 8 grains, when Warburg's Tincture with Aloes is supplied. The efficacy of this preparation in many cases of prostration from ma- larial influences, and as an antiperiodic where quinine and other cinchona alkaloids had proved inefficient, warrants the claim that the aromatic stimulants and laxatives contained in the formula of Dr. Warburg largely increased the potency of the quinine. Directions. — First, give the patient any convenient purgative (the U. S. P. Compound Cathartic Pill, three of which will be found to be an admirable dose in malarial cases) , and when the bowels have been freely evacuated give a full tablespoonful (one-half fluidounce) every three hours, until a non-exhausting perspiration is produced, manifested by a decline of temperature and an abatement of frontal headache. In extreme cases of prostration, accompanied by an exhausting perspiration, beef- tea, with wine or brandy, may be given as nourishment in connection with the remedy. WARBURG'S TINCTURE, SPECIAL. MODIFIED FORMULA. This preparation corresponds to the standard tincture, with the excep- tion of the substitution of the cheaper cinchona alkaloids for quinine. Dose. — After the stomach has been freely evacuated give one-half fluidounce every three hours until a non-exhaustive perspiration is induced. 292 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. WYETH'S BEEF JUICE. (SEE beef juice — wyeth's.) YERBA SANTA, AROMATIC. (SEE SYRUP YERBA SANTA, AROMATIC — PAGE 52.) ZINC RESPIRATORS, PERFORATED. This Respirator was devised by Dr. Burney Yeo, of London, and described by him in the British Medical Journal. It was improved as suggested by an eminent specialist in this country. These Respirators have been used in hospital, dispensary and private practice for a number of years, and have proved fully as efficacious as the more expensive and cumbersome forms, while they are more cleanly, less embarrassing to the respiration, and permit thorough admixture with atmospheric air. They are well adapted for the treatment (by inhalation) , of catarrh, influ- enza, ozema, etc., by means of suitable remedies prescribed by physicians. Any volatile material which it is desired to administer by continuous inhalation, whether for antiseptic or for remedial purposes, can be used in it. The medicament is dropped upon the moistened sponge in the cage ; the Respirator is then to be placed over the nose and mouth, and secured in position by the elastic cords, which are to be placed back of the ears and under the chin. Some 'of the substances which may be used are as follows : Creasote, Acid Carbolic, Eucal) ptol, Tincture Thymol, Oil of Turpentine, Terebene, Compound Tincture of Benzoin, Ethereal Tincture Camphor, Iodide of Ethyl, Chloloform, Spirit of Chloroform, and Alcoholic Solution of Menthol. Many others will suggest themselves to the practitioner. Five or more drops are employed at a time, and renewed as required. In the opinion of Dr. Yeo, a mixture of equal parts of Spirit of Chloro- form and the active remedy renders the administration more efficacious in some instances. Chloroform is especially indicated in cases of irritating cough. Kiyidly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 293 COMBINED LIST O F FLUID, POWDERED AND SOLID EXTRACTS. FLUID EXTRACTS. Fluid Extracts, if prepared from carefully selected drugs collected at the proper season, skilfully ground without heat, and then macerated and displaced with the proper menstrua, will embody the virtues of the different plants in a more convenient and permanent form for the use of physicians and druggists than any other pharmaceutical preparation. We would direct the attention of physicians to the scrupulous care exercised in the selection of the crude material, the skill and accuracy involved in its subsequent manipulation, and the thorough and complete system of assay introduced to establish its therapeutic uniformity. In this connection, we desire to emphasize the importance of determining the alkaloidal value of the leading representative preparations. The large variety of inferior drugs indiscriminately employed by unscrupulous manu- facturers, and the defective methods pursued by them in their faulty manipulation, have made the adoption of these precautions imperative. At an expenditure of much time and experimental research, we have directed our attention toward the perfection of a practical system of assay which will insure the utmost reliability. Physicians as well as pharma- cists will at once appreciate the expediency of this measure as applied to the estimation of the alkaloids in the leading narcotics and other potent drugs. These important drugs, while apparently possessing all the well known physical characteristics, if gathered from immature plants or at improper seasons of the year, will be frequently found deficient in those valuable alkaloidal attributes upon which their therapeutic value is in many instances wholly dependent. In our efforts to obviate this difficulty, and at the same time surround ourselves with every available precaution calculated to insure the most accurate results, we have in many cases adopted a minimum standard, based upon the average percentage of active matter present in a prime quality of commercial drug, and can with con- fidence assure the profession that under no circumstances do we deviate from these established standards. A Fluid Extract should represent the virtues of the drug better than infusions or decoctions extemporaneously prepared from crude materials, where frequently the virtue of the drug is impaired through age or careless manipulation, whereas by simple dilution of the extract with the proper quantity of water an infusion or decoction may be made in a few minutes, which will contain with absolute certainty all the effectiveness of the drug. We cannot urge too strongly upon physicians and druggists the adop- tion of Fluid Extracts for the preparation of infusions, decoctions and tinctures. 294 Kindly specify "WyKYh's" when prescribing. POWDERED EXTRACTS. We fully appreciate the grave responsibility which the manufacture of these products entails, as well as the watchfulness, skill and devotion to detail which are essential to insure uniform and accurate results. The scrupulous care so faithfully exercised in the selection of crude material for our Fluid Extracts is consistently maintained, the value of the drug accurately determined by a preliminary assay, and every possible precau- tion adopted which is calculated to elevate the standard and efficiency of this line of preparations. Our appliances for facilitating concentration are most complete, concentrating in vacuo at a temperature not exceeding i2o° F., thus avoiding the destructive oxidation of many of the sensitive alkaloids and perishable constituents which establish their therapeutic importance. We invite the medical profession to critically examine these products, to institute crucial comparisons, and to note particularly how well pre- served are the sensible and predominating characteristics of the respective drugs. We are firmly convinced that the satisfactory therapeutic results of our compressed goods are largely due to the superior excellence and activity of our narcotic and other extracts. We will gladly prepare in quantity any special Powdered Extracts that may be desired by our customers. NOTE. — All drugs containing alkaloids, resins or definite active con- stituents are subjected to a preliminary assay and the standard of the finished extract adjusted to conform. SOLID EXTRACTS. We invite attention to our Solid Extracts, which we are prepared to supply, and beg at the same time to direct attention to the fact that our appliances for the preparation of these extracts are unsurpassed, of the most modern and improved construction, enabling us to produce this class of preparations of exceptional merit and efficacy. Where extracts are prepared from drugs containing alkaloids, resins or other definite active constituents, the value of the drug is definitely determined by preliminary assay and every practical precaution adopted which is calculated to ele- vate the standard and efficacy of the finished product. We invite the most critical examination and comparison of our products, feeling confi- dent that, with our process conducted in vacuo, avoiding destructive oxi- dation of the sensitive alkaloids and perishable constituents so essential to therapeutic value, our extracts will be found superior to any similar products offered.

Powdered Extract. 1 grain represents 5 grains of Corn Silk. Dose. — 10 to 20 grs. (0.65 to 1.30 gms.) Corn Silk, for very many years, has been held in great favor as a home remedy, and was largely used, with marked success, as a diu- retic in cardiac and renal dropsy, in cases of uric and phosphatic gravely vesical catarrh, acute and chronic cystitis, as well as in dropsical affec- tions and as a mild, stimulating diuretic. At the same time, the belief in its great efficacy was confined almost: entirely to domestic use, being administered as a fresh infusion, phy- sicians not realizing its great value until late years. It was only in 1890 that, owing to the satisfactory results from its use by the medical pro- fession, it received official notice in the United States Pharmacopoeia. The efficacy of the drug depends almost entirely upon the selection, 304 Kindly specify " Wyeth's " when prescribing. Combined List of Fluid, Powdered and Solid Extracts. of the fresh green silk, which should be gathered when the corn is matured and subjected to immediate treatment, thus avoiding the deterioration from fermentation, which rapidly ensues if subjected to more or less exposure during the hot, humid weather which generally prevails at that season of the year, resulting in the destruction and loss of maizenic acid, which constitutes the active principle upon which the medicinal value is so largely dependent. We exhaust every possible care in the selection of the corn silk, subjecting it to treatment within six to twelve hours after it has been gathered, so as to avoid the deterio- ration of the drug. Great care is exercised in the garbling and sepa- ration of the inferior brown portion, which is practically inert, and the bruising and cutting of the cellular tissues to facilitate the extraction of its active properties. Another important detail in the operation is the selection and application of an appropriate solvent to secure complete exhaustion and permanency. The menstruum we employ, the result of careful experimental observations, has been demonstrated conclu- sively to be the best adapted to hold permanently in solution its delicate constituents, using but a small percentage of alcohol, with sufficient glycerine to preserve the constituents in a form as desirable as if admin- istered by fresh infusion of the corn silk gathered but a few hours. The most flattering testimonial that we can possibly offer respecting the efficiency of our preparation is the enormous and regular increase in our yearly sales, coupled with letters from leading physicians and hospital clinics from all sections of the United States.

Therapeutical Applications. — The facts regarding the utility of Saw Palmetto as a remedy for disease are chiefly clinical. The evidence Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. 319 Combined List of Fluid, Powdered and Solid Extracts. respecting its power to promote appetite and increase the nutritive energies of the body is considerable. This property has been observed by the laity in the localities where the plant grows, and is especially commented on by Dr. J. B. Reed in a communication in the Ameri- can Journal of Pharmacy, 1871, p. 171. Dr. Reed holds that " in all cases where a highly nutritive agent is needed it seems to apply well ; " and Dr. Dixon, in the Pacific Record of Medicine and Surgery, 1888, pp. 120 and 284, asserts that " this is sedative, nutrient and diuretic, improves digestion, induces sleep, increases flesh and strength." According to this same authority, " the fluid extract of this valuable berry is far in advance of the Compound Hypophosphites " It is because of this property — the power to improve nutrition — that Saw Palmetto has come to be used in wasting diseases, especially in phthi- sis, and tuberculous diseases. In a paper in the American Therapist, vol. i, 1892, pp. 51 and 52, Dr. Dupon urges its use in consumption, finding it possessed of '"extraordinary fat-producing powers." The patients gain in weight, appetite is improved, expectoration diminishes, and with improvement in these respects there is a coincident decrease in cough, fever and other evil signs." Besides the internal adminis- tration of the fluid extract, Dr. Dopon advocates the inunction of the oil of Saw Palmetto with iodoform in cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. The same authority advises the use of the fluid extract in the treat- ment of other pulmonary affections — in bronchitis and whooping- cough, especially the latter. He finds that it exerts a "marvellous power " in whooping-cough, modifying the course and shortening the duration of this disease. From the nature of its ingredients, it should be equally as serviceable in the treatment of asthma as in whooping- cough. Dilated bronchi and bronchorrhcea and catarrh of broncho- pulmonary mucous membrane in general are conditions in which the fluid extract is highly useful, according to all the authorities referred to above. For the same reason that Saw Palmetto is so useful in diseases of the respiratory tract — namely, because of the presence in it of a resin and a highly diffusible volatile oil — it is also serviceable in certain catarrhal affections of the genito-urinary tract. When administered by the mouth, presently the urine has a distinct odor of the drug. The resin and volatile oil escape from the system by the kidneys, the urine in consequence having a strong odor of these substances. In this way it occurs that a local action is exerted on the whole urinary tract. The physicians who have reported on its properties and uses are quite unanimous as respects the influence exerted by it on the genito-urinary apparatus. The local effects of Saw Palmetto on the mucous mem- brane are utilized in the treatment of catarrhal affections, such as pyelitis and cystitis. When gravel or calculi have set up a catarrh by reason of an irritant action which they exert on the mucous membrane, or when by extension of the morbid condition from the urethra a specific inflammation is caused, the best results may be expected from the administration of this remedy. Dr. S. F. Dupon. in the Ameri- can Therapist, vol. i, 1892, pp. 51, 52, says : " Much has been written lately upon the efficacy of Saw Palmetto in diseases of the bladder, prostate, etc., which I can most positively endorse, relief being often afforded from the local application of the tincture within an hour, while the urine is fully impregnated with the odor of the drug." There is much and emphatic testimony regarding the influence of Saw Palmetto over the functions of the reproductive system in both sexes. The possession of such powers is particularly important. Of 320 Kindly specify "Wyeth's" when prescribing. Combined List of Fluid, Powdered and Solid Extracts. all aphrodisiacs, so called, few indeed specifically affect trie generative apparatus. The antaphrodisiacs are sufficiently numerous, but of those having the power to promote this function, except by serious disturb- ance of the spinal cord or genital plexus, few if any beside this agent really exist. According to Dr. Dixon {Pacific Record of Medicine and Surgery, 1888, pp. 120, 284), "it hasaspecial action on the glands of the reproductive system, as the mammae, ovaries, prostate and testes. ' ' He regards it as especially indicated in wasting of the testes, as occurs in varicocele or from sexual perversion, in atrophy of the prostate from sexual excess, and in uterine atrophy from ovarian degeneration ; also, in impotence due to the operation of these various causes of vital depression. Those who have reported on its utility in cases of impotence find that it is of especial service in this condition as caused by sexual excess, as in masturbation, overindulgence, ill-cured gonorrhoea, etc. It cannot be alleged that when impotence is struc- tural and the result of anatomical deficiencies any medical remedy can remove it ; but when the case is one originating in chronic urethritis, prostatic irritation, vesical troubles, the functional depression of abuse, and other causes of like character, Saw Palmetto is the most promising of the remedies now available for the treatment. One of the advocates of its utility, whom we have quoted above, says " its action is that of a great vitalizer," applying this phrase to indicate his conception of its power to regenerate the sexual function.

Each ftuidounce represents Saw Palmetto 100 grains Kola Nuts 30 grains Parsley Seed SO grains Coca Leaves 30 grains Combined with Aromatics In connection with our remarks upon Saw Palmetto it may not be amiss to briefly refer to this palatable combination which has recently been introduced, and is regarded as a specific of some merit in the treatment of those cases of nervous depression and loss of mental and physical vigor, in which the combined therapeutic results of Saw Palmetto, Kola, Coca and Parsley are indicated. It apparently exerts a direct action upon the organs of reproduction, stimulating the glandular secretions and promoting a healthy and invigorating action upon the sexual glands, such as the mammae, ovaries, prostate, testes, etc. The value of this drug as an adjunct in the treatment of cases of debility is now clearly defined and associated with the stimulating properties of Coca, the sustaining qualities of Kola, which have been for a long time so fully recognized, as well as the addition of Parsley Seed, so highly commended as an emmenagogue in cases of dysmen- orrhcea and genito-spinal atony or loss of vital energy. It embodies a combination which we believe may prove of great benefit in conditions so difficult heretofore to treat successfully. Scopola — Scopola Carniolica.
