IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT

Some months since the Electro Surgical Instrument Company, of Rochester, N. Y., were visited by a disastrous fire which completely destroyed their factory. They were soon, however, able to establish themselves in a modern fireproof building and with new machinery and increased facilities are now turning out even better instruments than before. The fact that they were able promptly to resume manufacturing under such favorable conditions is cause for congratulation both for themselves and their patrons inasmuch as the history of the use of the miniature electric light in diagnosis and treatment is closely interwoven with that of this company. They made the first electrically lighted urethroscope, the Koch, and they have just completed the latest, an operating and dilating urethroscopic set designed by Dr. Hugh H. Young of Baltimore. They made the first practicable cystoscope designed in this country and they have made the two latest, the E. S. I. Co. Combination and that of Dr. W. F. Braasch of Rochester, Minn.

[blocks in formation]

They were the pioneers in this line, and years of experience and the suggestions of many eminent physicians both at home and abroad have enabled them to bring their instruments to a state of perfection which renders them models of their kind and as now made by this company, properly designed and skilfully constructed, these have become indispensable for that accuracy of diagnosis and treatment which modern medicine demands. The vital part of such instruments is the small electric lamp and to every part of the manufacture of these especial care is devoted. All are of the "cold" variety, i. e., their temperature is but slightly above that of the body, they give a brilliant white light and have great endurance. The Electro Surgical Instrument Company make all kinds of electrically lighted instruments such as cystoscopes, urethroscopes, Jackson bronchoscopes, auriscopes, an illuminated eye spud, transilluminators, etc. manufacture also all kinds of current controlling devices, including a socket current controller, a socket cautery transformer, and wall plates-and everything they make they make well.

IDONEEN AND ARSENIC

In chronic skin diseases this compound should be given in small doses continued over a long period of time. It is useful in dry, scaly conditions of an atrophic type, such as dry seborrhea with falling of the hair, dry eczema, and in those skin eruptions of a scrofulous type. Should there appear any acute irritation or itching during its administration, the arsenic must be discontinued, and Idoneen alone substituted.

Idoneen with Arsenic will be found most serviceable in chronic nasal and bronchial catarrhs, especially if observed in patients of a scrofulous, tubercular or syphilitic type who take cold easily upon the slightest exposure and have hacking coughs. In these cases the combination may be used to good advantage in small doses during the entire winter

The writer overheard an amusing chat on the street car the other day. Two physicians were talking shop and the question of the treatment of old age came up.

"Well, I wouldn't tell this to everybody," said one, “but I believe I have found the only solution of the trouble."

"Yes, ?" inquiringly said the other.

"It's malt extract. Nothing more or less. You know as well as I do how little can be accomplished, in such cases. We can supply tone-and that's all. The breaking-down of the tissues can be neither prevented nor remedied. So I simply prescribe malt_extract-taking care to stipulate Pabst Extract, because I know I can depend upon the quality of that brand."

If all physicians would practise this same frankness they would have much better results with this class of patients.

COLLARGOL IN CYSTITIS

Professor Jeanbrau (Montpelier Medical, May 31, 1908) says he had his attention called to the use of collargol in cystitis by Stoos and Tavel at the Berne Infant Hospital. His result in all cases was the same as from silver nitrate. But the great advantage of collargol over silver nitrate consists in its painlessness. In acute cystitis, the nitrate is agonizing; here collargol is as effective without causing pain. Collargol quickly inhibits the pain of cystitis.

IDONEEN

[graphic]

This new iodide possesses great therapeutic activity. It contains no alkalis or free iodine and is therefore non-irritating. It exhibits iodine in a most available form for internal administration and also for local application to the mucous membranes, as spray, gargle, douche or tampon, diluted with warm water or glycerin, as required.

The powerful resolutive and curative action of this chemical has already been proved, in the treatment of chronic enlargement of the liver, spleen, abdominal and thoracic glands, bronchial asthma, laryngitis, and incipient tuberculosis. It is especially active in tertiary lesions.

Do not administer Idoneen immediately after food, but between meal hours. Sample upon request.

THIOCOL ROCHE

Of all remedies for tuberculosis, creosote was long regarded as the best. But its nauseous taste and persistent odor, added to the irritant, sometimes caustic, action upon the mucous membrane, seriously curtailed its employment and minimized its good effects. Guaiacol was open to the same objections.

The introduction of Thiocol Roche insured the full benefits of creosote or guaiacol medication without any of its handicaps. Thiocol is derived from guaiacol, contains 52 percent of that element, and while possessing the therapeutic advantages of its parent substance, excels it in being absolutely odorless, almost tasteless, non-irritating, and soluble in water. If clinical reports are of any value at all, then we must believe that Thiocol stands head and shoulders above all other known remedies for tuberculosis and other diseases of the air passages.

It is well worth the trouble for any physician to write the manufacturers-The Hoffmann-La Roche Chemical Works-for a sample of this excellent product.

SABALOL SPRAY

In the treatment of inflammatory infections of the nasal and naso-pharyngeal cavities, Sabalol Spray fulfills four very important indications: First, it allays irritation by covering the mucous membrane with a soothing, oily coating. Second, by virtue of its antiseptic action it prevents bacterial growth, and thus reduces the resulting inflamma

tion. Third, it favorably modifies the character of the secretions and also acts as a deodorant. Fourth, it materially aids in restoring the relaxed mucous membrane to a healthy condition.

That these objects are fully realized is evidenced by the large number of specialists who are constantly using Sabalol Spray in their routine work. Particularly satisfactory results are obtained in the treatment of coryza, acute and chronic rhinitis (including ozena) and the various forms of hay fever, marked relief speedily following its application. Apart from its use in the nose, Sabalol Spray can be employed to great advantage in many affections of the lower portions of the respiratory tract as in laryngitis, bronchitis, and bronchorrhea.

Moreover, owing to its strong antiseptic influence, yet non-irritating character, this remedy has proven of great value as a prophylactic against acute catarrhal troubles.

This preparation was originated by T. C. Morgan Company, 102 John St., New York City, from whom samples and literature can be obtained on request.
