He says that his own pharyngitis which had existed for three months, was cured alter using this solution continuously lor eight days; and that his patients obtained the same successful results. In especially sen- sitive persons a weaker solution may be employed. A SAFE ANTISEPTIC SOLUTION. Dr. Emil Rotter, in the Centralblntt f. Chirurgie, some time ago again drew attention to the fact that a combi nation of different antiseptics is more powerful (or at least appears to be so) than any single one. He also proposed a compound antiseptic, which he claims to be very powerful, and yet not toxic to any dangerous ex- tent. The principles upon which it was combined were the following: It should contain no poisonous agent in sufficient quantity to cause harm, if absorbed; it should be non-irritating, and easy to keep; it shoul I be clear and free from odor; it should mix clear with ordinary water; and it should be so compounded that the essen- tial constituents could be carried in form of powder or pastille. The following was the result of his experiments: Gm. Grains. Corrosive Sublimate 0.05 1 Chloride Sodium 0.25 5 Carbolic Acid 2.00 30 Chloride Zinc 5.(0 75 Carbolate Zinc 5.00 75 Boric Acid 3.00 45 Salicylic Acid 0.60 10 Thymol 0.10 2 Citric A.cid O.lo 2 Water to make 1,000,000 ; about 137 pints. This solution was tested both in the laboratory and in surgical cases. In the laboratory, it was found to have a more potent effect on pyogenic microbes than corrosive sublimate in solutions "of 1 in 1.000.

He thinks that the chloroform spirits are taken up by the blood, completely changing it in the lungs, and, by defibrinating, prevents its hepatization. LAXATIVE FEVER MIXTURE. Ijfc.

By Prof. Sajous, Philadelphia, Seen in the first twenty-four hours : Take every three hours one drachm of ammoniated tincture of guaiac to a teaspoonful of milk ; gargle and swallow. After the third or fourth dose vhe swelling of the tonsils subsides and the patient is much relieved ; most likely he will have a diarrhoea ; this is the time to reduce the tincture to one-half drachm. When the case goes thirty-six hours without interference the treatment is different and difficult. Allow small pieces of ice in the mouth, while internally, twenty grains of bromide of potassium combined with fifteen drops of wine of ergot, or six drops of tincture of belladonna every three hours, although the latter frequently causes headache ; if the tonsil has a tendency to go to abscess do not let it rup- ture spontaneously; find tender spot with finger ; take a curved history and open, not cutting deeply; bind his- tory with cloth.

A correspondent of the Pharmaceutische Zeitung says that tannin cannot be too highly recommended as an application to burns, especially when very extensive the skin being entirely removed. A 5 per cent, solution is squeezed from a sponge over the denuded surface which is then dressed with some soft ointment, eithei with or without tannin. Pain immediately abates, and the healing process is wonderfully rapid. The solution must be freshly applied as often as the dressings are renewed. MERCURIAL CHOLOGOGUE. Jfr. Calomelis, gr. xvi.

Centralhalle, au effective depila- tory is made by mixing 2 parts of barium sulphide with 1 part of starch and 1 part of oxide of zinc. The barium sulphide can be made fresh, as required, by mixing powdered barium snlphate with its own weight of charcoal, making into a stiff paste with linseed oil, and forming the mass into a roll like a sausage, which is to be placed in the fire until deflagration is complete. After cooling the mass is to be powdered, and mixed wiih the starch and oxide of zinc. The depilatory is to be made into a paste with water before use, spread on the skin, and allowed to remain for ten minutes. The success of depilatories greatly depends upon the fresh- ness of the sulphide employed. WARTS. By Dr. J. M. White, Pleasant Ridge, Ala. Jjc. Ung. pyrogallic, 20 per cent, Sj. Sig.

By Editor Kansas City Medical Journal. It is a well-known fact that stutterers, when speaking in a whispering voice, show no impediment of speech. A new method of treatment has been advocated by Dr. Coen and is as follows : In the first ten days speaking is prohibited. This will allow rest to the voice, and constitutes the preliminary state of treatment. During the next ten days speaking is permissible in the whis- pering voice, and in the course of the next fifteen days the ordinary conversational one may be gradually employed. HELIOTROPE PERFUME.

ORCHITIS — CYSTITIS. Kansas Medical Journal. One of the best local applications for swelled testicle is a poultice composed of one part of tobacco to four of linseed meal. The meal furnishes heat and moisture, while the tobacco usually relieves the pain in a short time. This same poultice is very soothing when applied over the pubes in cystitis.

Dr. Joseph Burroughs, Ontario County, N. Y., recom- mends it as a substitute for alcohol, and also for nitrate of amyl in the resuscitation of persons overcome with chloroform or ether. The dose is one drop of a 1 per cent, solution. This may be taken in water into the stomach. If there is great haste, or if the patient can not swallow, one drop can be placed within the lower lip or upon the tongue. The physiological effect consists in strengthening and regulating the pulse. In order to obtain this result, it may be necessary to repeat the one drop dose three or four times. After too large a dose the face becomes flushed, a severe headache is experienced, accompanied by a feeling of fullness, singing in the ears, flashes be- fore the eyes, etc. In the event of poisonous manifestations, the agoniz- ing headache may be relieved by compression of the carotids. The antidotes are : strychnin, ergot and bel- ladonna. LYMPHADENOMA. By Dr. E. S. McKee, Cincinnati.

The borate of soda in the treatment of epilepsy was first proposed by Charles F. Folsom, of Boston, in 1881. Gowers reported four cases treated with the remedy, three of which where entirely cured. Lately, Fl Siglo Medico reports, Senor Dijond has tried the remedy in 25 old cases in which the bromides had been employed without any real benefit. The duration of the treatment with the borate of soda was from four to seven months, the doses of the remedy varied from one to six grammes a day. One case was completely cured, and all the others, except six, were much improved. The experiments heretofore made prove that the remedy can diminish the frequency of the epileptic seizures in a very large number of cases which are not influenced favorably by the bromides. The borate of soda may be given in doses of six grammes daily, without any risk to the patient, but it is necessary to begin with one or two grammes a day and gradually increase the dose. The following formula is recommended : ^i. Sodse borat. pulv., 1 to 6 grammes. Syr. aurant. cort., " 30 " Aquae destillat., 1 to 100 " M. Sig. To be taken in two doses, one in the morning and one in the evening. For doses larger than four grammes, one gramme of glycerine should be added for each gramme of borate in excess of four. For the prolonged use of the remedy, Senor Dijond recommends the following : ]jfc. Sodae borat. pulv., grammes 10. Glycerini purae M " 4. Syr. aurant. cort., 4< 94. M. Sig. To be taken in spoonful doses. An ordinary spoonful contains two grammes of the borate of soda. ALBUMINURIA OP PREGNANCY. By Prof. Chas. M. Wilson, Phila., Pa.

Dr. Beverly Bobmson in 1886 adopted antiseptic inhal- ations, in the treatment of phthisis, recommending the inhaler now known by his name, and three solutions well adapted for use in it.

Alcohol, ad. 5 ss. The inhaler was worn at first for 1? or 20 minutes every three hours, and from 10 to 20 drops of the mix- ture were placed upon the sponge at least three times in twenty-four hours. For internal administration Dr. Robinson employed the following formula, which is adapted from Jaccoud: #. Creosoti, lip vj. Glycerini, Sj. Spts. frumenti, § ij. M. The dose generally was one teaspoon ful every three hours, diluted with two parts of water to prevent irri- tation of the throat and stomach. Dr. Robinson con- tends that Creosote should be begun in moderate doses, continued a long time, and increased gradually. His average daily dose was from three to six minims, and this quantity he administered for many months. Dr. Austin Flint uses three or four drops thrice daily, and inhalations of the creosote, chloroform and alcohol solution above given, at first for a few minutes three times a day, and then increasing up to four or eight hours a day. Prof. Sommerprodt, of Breslau, strongly advocates heroic doses upon the assumption that enough creosote may be given to so charge the blood with the remedy as to antagonize the development of tubercle bacilli. He bases his method upon the researches of Dr. P. Gutt- man, who showed that tubercle bacilli could hardly be cultivated in sterilized serum containing one four-thou- sandth volume of creosote, and that the culture could not be carried on if the solution were a little stronger than one in four thousand. He tested his method in Over 1,000 Prescriptions. hundreds of cases, using capsules, each containing one minim of creosote. Begin with three capsules the first day, and add one each succeeding day until the eigh- teen! h day, after which the maximum quantity, from twenty to twenty-five minims per diem, is administered for many months. His success in any given case was in direct ratio with the amount of creosote taken. One patient took nearly 9 ounces of creosote and 35 ounces of Peruvian balsam in nine months, with very good results. Dr. P. Bogdanovitch, in his own case of pulmonary and laryngeal phthisis, for two years took half a grain four or five times daily, without eflect. He then com- menced with four grains daily, and increased the quan- tity within two moDths to forty-four grains in twenty- four hours. The results were speedy amelioration of the cough and dyspnoea, diminution of sputum, and di sappearance of fever and laryngeal spasm. The bacilli remained just as numerous as at the beginning of the treatment. He infers that five grains should be taken four times a day, in capsules, after food. Dr. Lanisniee claimed that nausea and vomiting from creosote might be avoided by the following formula: Jpfc. Creosote, 5 centigrammes. Balsam of Tolu, iy^ centigrammes. Norway pitch, 73^ centigrammes. M. Make one capsule. Sig. Take four capsules with the meals, morning and evening, and gradually increase to twelve daily. Sig. CORYZA. ]jfc.

CHLOROFORM NARCOSIS. By Prof. H. C. Wood, M. Z>., Philadelphia. The following results arrived at from numerous exper- iments made upon animals: Avoid the use of all drugs except digitalis and ammo- nia. Give the tincture of digitalis hypodermically. Draw out the tongue, and raise up the angle of the jaw, and see that the respiration is not mechanically impeded. Invert the patient briefly and temporarily. Use forced artificial respiration promptly, and in pro- tracted cases employ external warmth and stimulation of the surface by the dry electric brush, etc., and above all remember that some at least, and probably many of the deaths which have been set down as due to chloro- form and ether, have been produced by the alcohol which was given for the relief of the patient.

The saline cathartic treatment should be adopted early in simple acute peritonitis. Small doses of calomel may be given to mild purgation in cases seen after the disease is fully developed. Cases which fail to be relieved by cathartic measures should receive early operative interference. Whenever peritonitis has gone on to that stage where the formation of pus is known or even suspected to have place, abdominal section and drainage are imperatively indicated. When the existence of tubercular peritonitis is diag- nosticated, or strongly suspected, operation (exploratory incision) is justifiable. Opium is only indicated in the second stage of perito- nitis, and then not because it "forms a splint" but because it relieves pain, sustains the heart, and pre- vents shock— thus combatting the tendency of death.

It is best to treat only one, or at most, two tumors at a time, as the new mem- brane should have time to toughen before the operation is repeated, which requires some eight to ten days. The oJd atrophid tissue is thrown off from the fourth to sixth day. When I treat two tumors at the same time it is when I find them on opposite sides, though I can- not say that any harm would result if more were treated, as I have not tried it. My rule has been to operate only on one or two at a time and that above the sphincter muscle. VOMITING. of inflammation, gastro-mucous membrane, give aconite. If from depression, give small doses ipecacuanha. If from depression from tuberculosis in early stage, or from gastric ulcer, chronic gastritis, pregnancy, chloro- sis—the tincture of iodine, in 2 drop doses, well diluted after meals, has proven very efficacious. YELLOW FEVER TREATMENT. By Geo. M. Sternberg, U. S. A. My main object was to neutralize the acidity of the secretions, and thus to prevent vomiting and promote diuresis ; and I hoped that the mercuric chloride might be of use in restraining the development of micro- organisms in the stomach. The formula, as first pre- scribed, was : Yfr. Bicarbonate of soda, grams x (150 grs.). Bichloride of mercury, centigms. ij., Pure water, litre j (1 quart). M. \y 3 gr. Sig. 50 grams (3 tablespoonfuls) every hour; to be given ice cold. The quantity of bicarbonate of soda has been increased to xv grains by some of those who have employed the treatment, and apparently with advantage. Out of 374 cases treated there were but 22 deaths. ANTISEPTIC SOLUTIONS FOR MIDWIVES. The Academie de medecine, of Paris, recommended that mid wives should be advised to employ a solution of bichloride of mercury in all obstetric cases, and that to avoid accidents it should be colored. 5&. Corrosive sublimate, 25 centigrammes. Tartaric acid, 1 gramme. Alcoholic solution of dry carmin of indigo (5 per cent.), 1 drop. Reduce to an impalpable powder.

Saturate a lump of cotton and pass it up the rectum after the bowels move and the bath in the morn- ing, also bathe and anoint at night.

In the treatment of diabetes restricted diet is not so essential as restriction is the excess of food, to which these patients are markedly addicted. By regulating their diet in this respect, and the use of the above rem- edies is the best and most efficient means of treatment he knows. THE NEW METHOD IN ERYSIPELAS. 1. Method of Rosenbach. — Wash with soap not only the affected part, but the surrounding healthy skin, then apply each day a solution of carbolic acid (5 per cent.) dissolved in absolute alcohol. Ptesults: very brilliant as regards both the progress of the malady and the febrile phenomena. The use of absolute alcohol by itself has also produced favorable results. 2. Method of Nolti. — Cover the affected parts and sur- rounding skin twice daily with mucilage of gum arabic, mixed with from 3 to 5 per cent, of carbolic acid with vaseline. 3. Method of Koch.— By means of a soft brush, apply a thin and regular covering of the following pomade : {fc. Creoline, 1 gramme. Iodoform, 4 grammes. Lanoline, 10 grammes. The parts are then covered with leaves of gutta-percha. This has given good results, especially in erysipelas of the face and head. 4. Method of Nussbaum and Brunn. — Ichthyol with or without collodion. Eesults favorable, and very prompt. 5. Method of Hallopeau. — A solution of 1 to 20 of salicyl- ate of soda is soaked in a mask of several thicknesses of linen and applied over the parts, after which it is cov- ered with rubber bands, to prevent evaporation. Reliei almost immediate; cure in from three to five days. 94 Over 1,000 Prescriptions. FLATULENT DYSPEPSIA. Paul Cheron, M. D. Jfc. Magnesia, Calcium phosphate, Pow'd charcoal, Sulphur, aa S j. M.

To render instruments perfectly aseptic, and to pre- serve the cutting edges from oxidation, boil for five minutes in a 1 per cent, solution of carbonate of soda. They can remain in this solution indefinitely without rusting or dulling the cutting edge. When required for operation they are taken out, dried with a sterilized piece of gauze, and handed to the operator. Whenever, in course of the operation , they eome in contact with anything not aseptic, all that is required to re-sterilize them, is to dip them for a few seconds into the boiling solution of sodium bicarbonate.

To Make Plaster Set Hard.— His. best plaster of Paris with about 10 per cent — more or less, according to effect ascertained by preliminary experiment — of very finely powdered marble (calcium carbonate). Or add to it about 6 per cent of powdered alum, or about the same amount of ammonium chloride, before mixing it with water. 2. To Make Plaster Set Slower. — Mix it with 2 to 4 per cent of powdered althaea root before adding the water. This not only retards the hardening of the plaster, but also enables it to be cut, filed, sawed and turned. An addition of 8 per cent of althaea powder retards the complete setting of the plaster for about one hour, so that the mass can be used for any purpose where it is to remain plastic during at least a portion of that time. 110 Over 1,000 Prescriptions.

Demme, in the annual report of the Berne Hospital (Concours Medical), relates his experience of the antipy- retics in children. In the first place, however, he holds that their employment is unnecessary iu moderate pyr- exia (101° to 103° F.) • he prefers the application of cold damp cloths renewed every two hours ; or when there is much nervous excitement or insomnia, lukewarm baths (79° to 82.5°), lasting five or ten minutes, and re- peated once or twice a day. The propriety of using antipyretic drugs should be considered in cases in which there is a continuous temperature of about 104° F., and in adopting the treatment the cause of the pyrexia and the power of resistance possessed by the patient must be taken into account. These drugs are of value in enteric fever, acute rheu- matism, and broncho-pneumonia; they should be used with great caution in fibrinous pneumonia, diphtheria, and the acute ex anthems (measles, scarlet fever, etc.) In acute rheumatism, if there is a dislike to salicylate of soda or a tendency to and vomiting, he replaces it by salol. Quantity to be given daily in divided doses : salicylate of soda, 2 to 4 years, 8 to 15 grains; 5 to 10 years, 15 to 30 grains ; 11 to 15 years, 38 to 45 grains ; salol (in powder), 2 to 4 years, 12 to 16 grains, in three do*es; 5 to 10 years, 22 to 33 or 41 grains, in three cr four doses ; 11 to 15 years, 33 to 45 60 grains, in three or four doses. In enteric fever, he has had good results with sulphate of thallin; he gives it in powder every two hours, each dose being for a child of 3 to 4 years, 1-7 to % grain, 5 to 10 years, y z grain; 11 to 15 years, % to % grain. In broncho-pneumonia, in which there is a liability to a long continuance of a high temperature and to relapses, he prefers anttpyrine to all other antipyretics ; he gives it dissolved in water with a little sugar and a few drops of cognac. He employs it also in the acute exanthemata and in serious diphtheria if the temperature becomes so high as to appear to call for an antipyretic. He gives it hourly in the following doses : 2 to 4 years, 3 to 6 grains ; 5 to 10 years, 8 to 11^ grains; 11 to 15 years, 12% to 15 grains. In the latter stages of broncho-pneumonia, where the fever is of the hectic type, the antipyretics belonging to the aromatic series have little effect. Sul- phate of quinine, on the contrary, not only hastens recov- ery, but actually "jugulates" the disease. He gives it in the following doses : 2 to 4 years, 3 to 6 grains ; 5 to 10 years, 8 grains ; 11 to 15 years, 11% to 15 grains. TOPICAL APPLICATIONS IN DIPHTHERIA. By George W. Peck, M. D. t Omaha, Neb. It can be employed in all stages of the disease, without danger to the patient. It should be applied often and thoroughly, by means of a brush or cotton swab, until the diseased membrane entirely disappears.

It is sought to introduce this invaluable therapeutic agent exclusively on its merits , and for that reason the Profession is appealed to only through the columns of Medical Journals. UYflPni FINE * s a P ure ly scientific preparation for the lUnULLIllL cure of incipient consumption and all forms of wasting disease. Its formula is well known, and it has the endorsement of Reading Physicians throughout the United States. The therapeutic value of this invaluable curative agent, its unquestionable success, and its perfect reliability in cases of emaciation occasioned by a decay of the vital tissues, make the prescribing of HYDROLEIVE one of the necessary requisites of the successful practitioner. This great remedial agent is thoroughly palatable, is easily digested; it produces rapid increase in flesh and strength and at once inspires the patient with a substantial hope of recovery. This is assured by the fact that the vitalizing principle underlying HYDKOLElNE is to arrest deco?nposition in all its stages. HYDROLEINE has for the basis of its formula pure NOR- WEGIAN COD LIVER OIL. One teaspoonful of this preparation will give MORE SATISFACTION than three teaspoonfuls of the many usually prescribed emulsions. Sold by Druggists Generally. THE CHAS. N.

THE DOSIMETRIC GRANULE of single, active principles has come to stay, affording, at once, the CEEANEST, safest and SUREST means at our disposal with which to combat disease. Dr. W. F. Waugh, the talented editor of the Times and Register, says, in his issue of July 22d, 1892 : "Dr. W. C. Abbott's dosimetric gran- ules have been used by several members of our staff. The granules have proved reliable in ever y respect ; uniform, well made, and of full strength. The system is popular with patients." We shall be pleased to send samples, our price list and special introductory offer on request, mentioning where this adv. was seen. DR. W. C. ABBOTT, RAVENSWOOD. CHICAGO, ILL. The Purest and Most Active Pepsin ever introduced. Webber-Pepsin, S. & D. Standard 1 to 6000. A Soluble, Pepsin. Non-Hygroscopic, Inodorous, Permanent Dose: J A to 2 Grains, The Webber-Pepsin will completely digest 6000 times its weight of coagulated egg-albumen in accordance with the conditions of the U. S. P. test or that of the National Formulary. It is not a Peptone-Pepsin yet it is perfectly soluble being free from mucus and inert putrescible matter, and is so palatable that the most fastidious patient will take, it readily. It is entirely free from septic contaminations , or other products of decomposition. Physicians will appreciate these several advantages as possessed solely by the Webber-Pepsin. Although further investigations based upon the Web- ber process have enabled us to produce Pepsin capable of digesting from 20,000 to 30,000 times its weight of coagu- lated egg-albumen, we have adopted 1 to 6oco as our standard for the Webber-Pepsin because this already far exceeds the digestive power of any other pepsin yet intro- duced, and especially because the production of a Pepsin of a still higher digestive power disproportionately in- creases its cost. The Webber-Pepsin is offered in Granular and Pow- dered form, also in Scales, but unless otherwise specified, we invariably furnish the Granular form.
