THE SOCIETY REPORTS presented in the Hahnemannian Monthly are carefully prepared by experienced correspondents in attendance at the meetings, and contain interesting abstracts of all the important papers read and the discussions thereon. THE GLEANINGS present monthly all the important advances in medicine and surgery. In this department the editors have the assistance of the veteran journalist and author, Dr. S. Lilienthal, and of Drs. W. W. Van Baun, E. M. Gramm, E. W. Mercer, and H. I. Jessup, who glean articles pertaining to their several specialties, namely: Diseases of the Chest, Diseases of the Skin, Obstetrics and Gynecology, and Ophthalmology. In the preparation of the Gleanings, the editors have at their disposal over 150 medical journals. THE MONTHLY RETROSPECT OF HOMOEOPATHIC MATERIA MEDICA AND THERAPEUTICS is conducted by Drs. Chas. Mohr and E. R. Snader, who have the collaboration in foreign homoeopathic literature of Drs. S. Lilienthal, Horace F. Ivins, and Eduardo Fornias. It is the aim of the editors of this department to reproduce in a concise and pithy manner all confirmation of symptoms, new therapeutic hints, and new provings. PROMPTNESS characterizes the work of the editors of the Hahnemannian. Society Reports appear early after the meeting, and Gleanings and Materia Medica items are published while they are fresh. TO SHOW the immense fund of information in the monthly numbers of the Hahnemannian, it is only necessary to state that in the first six months of 1889 there appeared within its pages 47 original articles, 259 Gleanings, and 209 Materia Medica items.

I very cheerfully give my testimony to the virtues of a combination of vegetable remedies prepared by a well-known and able pharmaceutist of this city and known as DIOVIBURNIA, the component parts of which are well known to any and all physicians who desire to know the same, and therefore have no relation to proprietary or quack remedies I have employed this medicine in cases of dysmenorrhea, suppression of the catemania, and in excessive leucorrhea, and have been much pleased with its use.

DIOS CHEMICAL COMPANY, ST. LOUIS, MO.,U.S.A. THE AMERICAN HOMEOPATHIST. xxvii Chas. Truax & Co., SURGICAL PUMP. (ALLEN'S PATENT.) "On August 10th, at the Obstetrical Section, a demonstration of the uses of the Allen Surgical Pump was gived by Mr. Charles Truax, 75 and 77 Wabash Avenue, Chicago, Ill., who briefly but clearly showed how, by the use of his improved attachments, this simple instrument could be used successfully for a great many different purposes, He first attached glass cuppers to it, showing how it acted as a cupping pump. Then, by a universal connector, he converted it into an aspirator, with a reversible current, thus admitting of its being changed to an injector without either disconnecting any of its fittings or withdrawing the needle. Easily made changes, converted the same pump into a stomach pump, bladder washer, dilator, syringe, blood transfuser, feeder for insane patients, etc. Many of his demonstrations elicited considerable applause."-The British Medical Journal, August 25, 1888.

Lactated Pepsin IF you use Cocaine you must know the advantage of being able to prepare readily a fresh solution of any desired strength. This can be done instantaneously by our soluble Cocaine Muriate Tablets, 24 and 1% grains, put up in vials of 12 and bottles of 100, with directions as to how many tablets to use in making solutions of desired strength. You will find them very convenient. You no doubt employ, when indicated in summer diarrhoea, ano dynes and astringents. We would commend to you for trial two eligible ones which we make, and which have been used with much success. We refer to Chloranodyne, an efficient combination of anodynes and antispasmodics, and fluid extract Coto Bark, the valuable astringent properties of which render it of great service in restoring tone to the relaxed mucous membrane, and in checking the excessive discharge. THESE Tablets a for HESE Tablets afford a very convenient and ready method for loss in peptic or digestive power with an insoluble salt of bismuth, such as the subnitrate. When combined with bismuth and ammonium citrate, in mildly alkaline solutions, the activity di the Pepsin is entirely destroyed, and acidification fails to restore its lost energy. EA ACH Tablet contains Pepsinum Purum 3-10 grain, Pure Pancreatin, 3-10 grain, Lactic Acid, Hydrochloric Acid, Maltose and Diastase. Peptonizing Tablets. USED for preparing peptonized milk, gruel and beef tea. Cascara Sagrada. Glycerin Suppositories. 95 per cent Glycerin. AUTHORITIES agree in regarding Cascara bark that has been aged for at least a year as alone eligible for use in manufacture. Preparations made from bark thus aged are free from the irritant properties of the fresh bark. It is well known that the scarcity of Cascara has led to the use by some manufacturers of the fresh and irritant bark. In this connection it gives us pleasure to assure physicians that all our preparations of Cascara are made from properly aged stock, of which we have on hand an abundant supply. THIS HIS ready means of securing defecation is likely to become very popular. It is a great improvement over the injection of the glycerin, and quite as efficacious. To those physicians who have not employed them, we commend their early trial, and to this end we will furnish samples free on request. În prescribing, we ask physicians who desire to use a reliable, active product to specify glycerin suppositories of our manufacture.
