Doctor: us lin javi. I had hesirining Did you ever think of the philosophy of a course of treatment by the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda? It affords a most beautiful study in physiological repair. It is firmly based on Virchow's principles of cellular pathology. When a plant is not thriving well the horticulturist treats it, not with medicine, but with its appropriate plant food. We should draw a lesson from this more often than we do. Thousands of cases die every year, and thousands of others pass into hopeless invalidism, simply because the first perversions of nutrition are not corrected by supplying the system in abundance with the appropriate tissue food. As lime and soda are so abundantly found in animal tissues, and are necessary to unite with the organic elements in the formation of new cells, it must be evident that most of the departures from health are due to a lack of the proper proportion of these elements supplied to the tissues. These errors of nutrition, if taken at the beginning, are quickly and easily corrected; but if they are allowed to go on until grave anatomical lesions are produced, or profound alterations of the nervous system are established, the cure must be slow and gradual, yet none the less sure if the treatment be continued. A very important particular in prescribing the Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda is to secure their absolute chemical purity. This is secured and guaranteed in McArthur's Syrup. Its results are uniform and reliable. It is not filled up and complicated with the delusive irritant "tonics." If at any time you want any other ingredient used it can be added to the prescription. In McArthur's Syrup you get the chemically pure Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda. It is put up for use in physicians' prescriptions, hence has no labels or directions on the bottle. Our valuable treatise on "The Curability and Treatment of Consumption" will be sent free to any physician requesting it. Also one bottle of McArthur's Syrup, if you will agree to pay express charges. Peptonized Cod Liver Oil and Milk. THE PERFECTION OF ALL COD LIVER OIL PREPARATIONS. It is more easily digested and assimilated, and more nutritious than any product of Cod Liver Oil in the market.

It contains 50 per cent. of pure Norwegian It mixes readily with water, and makes a pleasant drink. If any Physician has a patient who cannot take and retain Cod Liver Oil in any form, send to us for sample of PEPTONIZED COD LIVER OIL and MILK. Cod Liver Oil and Milk is put up plain, and also combined with Hypophosphites. Each tablespoonful containing 2 grs. each Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda. REED & CARNRICK, New York.

Normal-Index Clinical Thermometers WHICH DO NOT INCREASE THEIR READINGS WITH AGE. Important features in these Thermometers is respectfully submitted for the earnest consideration of all careful physicians and dealers who appreciate how very important it is that the reading of clinical Thermometers shall not be increased after being used for six months or a longer period. These Thermometers are subjected to a process which effectually prevents all shrinkage in the glass and consequently increased readings. This valuable improvement in connection with the indestructable index, makes this the only perfect Clinical Thermometer in the World. In the introduction of these Soluble Ophthalmic Tablets, it is our aim to embrace all the chemicals that are used in ophthalmic surgery, and we are confident their Importance, Value and Usefulness will at once be recognized not only by Ophthalmists, but by the general practitioner. These Tablets are so made that when dissolved in a definite quantity of water designated on the label, they will represent an exact percentage of the drug. Merck's chemicals are invariably used in their composition, thus insuring their reliability, eliminating all danger of irri tation caused by impure chemicals, alkaloids, etc. Where the alkaloid weighs less than one-fourth grain sufficient C. P. Boric Acid is used. For Preparing Extemporaneous Solutions. One Tablet if added to 30 drops of water makes a 4 per cent. solution. 3 00. Recent preparations will be added to List as their value is determined. Disct. from list, 10 per cent. Write for Complete List embracing formula, doses, etc. H. K.

We are confident that we nave reached the Highest Degree of Perfection in solving the Infant Food Problem. Lacto-Preparata. A Prepared Human Milk perfectly Sterilized and especially designed for Children Made wholly from cow's milk with the exception that the fat of the milk is partially replaced by cocoa butter. Cocoa butter is identical with milk fat in food value and digestibility, being deficient only in the principle which causes rancidity. The milk in Lacto-preparata is treated with Extract of Pancreas at a temperature of 105 degrees, a sufficient length of time to render 25 per cent. of the casein soluble, and partially prepare the fat for assimilation. In this process the re naining portion of the casein not peptonized is acted upon by the pancreative ferment in such a manner as to destroy its tough, tenacious character, and render it light and flocculent, so that it resembles the casein of human milk, and will no longer coagulate into hard, indigestible curds. Lacto-Preparata is not designed to replace our Soluble Food, but is better adapted for Infants up to eight months of age. REED & CARNRICK, New York, |
