312 NEWS AND MISCELLANY His Pneumogastric Nerve. Upon an average twice a week, When anguish clouds my brow, Then he is ready to admit That all he can observe Is something wrong inside, to wit: My pneumogastric nerve! Now when these Latin names within Go wrong a fellow should begin To draw what's called the line. Is not despite its awful name, Yet of all torments known to me, I'll say without reserve, There is no torment like to thee, This subtle, enviors nerve appears It waited nearly forty years Its chance to lay me low: Then like some withering blast of hell It struck this guileless bard, And in that evil hour I fell Prodigious far and hard. Alas! what things I dearly love- Are sure to rouse the vengeance of Oh, that I could remodel man! The all of that domain inside And author of my thousand woes, The North Missouri Medical Association meets at Moberly, Mo., June 20-21, 1895, and a most interesting program is assured. E.

Hypnotic Anti-Spasmodic Anti-Neuralgic CORDIAL PAS-CARNATA MERRELL This preparation contains all the active medicinal constituents of Passiflora Incarnata in concentrated form, and is the result of an extended investigation in our Laboratory. It is the most eligible form for exhibiting the valuable properties of the drug, since from it we have succeeded in eliminating the inert principles invariably present in ordinary preparations of the market. CORDIAL PAS-CARNATA Is a valuable adjunct to the treatment of nervous affections attended with the congestion of the cord and ganglionic centres. As a soporific without narcotic action and as an anti-spasmodic and anti-neuralgic, it is without an equal. Its action is between Morphine and Chloral Hydrate, but it does not depress the system nor derange the stomach. It is devoid of danger, non-poisonous, and may be given in any case where sleep is needed. It is the remedy-par excellence-in infantile convulsions, in diarrhea of children, and in nervous affections of the aged and infirm. In nervous or sick headache, neuralgia of the fifth pair of nerves, in sleeplessness of typhoid and other fevers as well as from overwork so common among professional and business men, it will produce a quiet and dreamless sleep, and at the same time prove a permanent tonic to the nervous system. CORDIAL PAS-CARNATA Is recommended in cases where opium and its preparations, the Bromides, Chloral, etc., cannot be given or are not well borne, and where it is undesirable to lock up the secretions. It is recommended in tetanus, cerebral pain, hysteria of women, dysmenorrhoea, tic douleroux, accelerated respiratory movement, pain in the rectum and neuralgia of the heart. CORDIAL PAS-CARNATA Is prepared for physicians' prescriptions only, and not for popular sale. Printed matter with extended notes furnished to the medical profession only. Samples supplied without charge on payment of expense of delivery. CORDIAL PAS-CARNATA May be ordered of our New York office, No. 96 Maiden Lane, of Geo.
