Sander & Son's Eucalypti Extract (Eucalyptol).—In the article treating on inhalations of eucalyptus in cases of diphtheritis (Berlin Klin. Wochenschrift, 1876, No. 21) by Prof. Dr. Mosler, Director of the Medical clinic of the University at Griefswald, it is stated: "The oleum eucalypti folies, I employed in my tests, I received through Holzle & Chelius, Frankfort-on-the-Main; it must not be mistaken for the more frequently offered oleum eucalypti australe which is obtained from the wood of the eucalyptus trees. This latter oil is used commonly for mechanical purposes and has a far cheaper price; it is, however, no longer applied by me as an internal medicament." We certify that the oleum eucalypti folies named in the Berlin Klin Wochenscrift, 1879, No. 21, and there mentioned to have been procured from us, was the product of Messrs. Sander & Sons, Sandhurst, Australia. Holzle & Chelius, Frankfort-on-the-Main, Agents. Elixir Maltopepsine (Tilden's).--In addition to its special value as a remedy for indigestion in infants, children and delicate adults, Elixir Maltopepsine is found to possess pecular merit as a vehicle for the administration of many of the drugs which irritate the stomach and impair digestion and assimilation. It has proven of the greatest possible benefit in the administration of the iodides, bromides, salicylate of soda, iron, etc., because of its grateful influence on the stomach. Cases in which these and similar drugs cannot be borne, may be rendered not only tolerant, but really acceptable to the stomach by combining them with Elixir Maltopepsine in about the following proportion: Citrate of iron 66 1 to 3 grains to each f. drachm of Elixir Maltopepsine. "and Quinine 1 to 3 Iodide of Potassium 1 to 3 66 The above combinations readily suggest to the mind of the physicians the various conditions in which they would be applicable. If, in a case of indigestion, for example, with anæmia, debility, chlorosis, etc., what could be more appropriate than to associate with the Elixir Maltopepsine the Citrate of Iron, Citrate of Iron and Quinine, or Citrate of Iron, Quinine, Strychnine and Phosphorous (?) any of which will readily combine with the Elixir Maltopepsine, making an elegant and agreeable preparation, and one that nicely meets the indications presented in such cases. So in relation to the other drugs meeting the complications presented by a tuberculous-scrofulous, syphilitic or rheumatic diathesis, in a dyspeptic subject. 520 Surgical Chair.-Any doctor in need of a first class operating chair, can secure a bargain by addressing RETIRED, care MEDICAL HERALD, St. Joseph, Mo. -- Insomnia.

Dear Dr. Abbott:-When I look back upon more than forty years of practice in the old rut, and think of the useless luggage I have borne about a rough country and dispensed to a suffering clientage, and now find unspeakably better results from the exhibition of your never disappointing alkaloidal preparations, I can hardly realize the delights of the new era.
