29 MALARIA can be quickly cured by using PHENO-BROMATE. "In pernicious malarial fever, I have had remarkable and extremely satisfactory experience with Pheno-Bromate, which has been, in my hands, a remedy beyond question. DR. WILLIS CUMMINGS, Surgeon, Panama R.R.S.S. Line, New York.-Medical Council, June, 1899. A large sample and interesting literature relating to Malaria Pheno-Bromate is a perfected synthesis of the Phenol and Bromine derivatives, and has the combined effect of subduing pain, reducing temperature, strengthening the heart, and inducing sleep. Depression never follows, and to establish this fact, a patient was given 560 grains in twenty-one hours with absolutely no bad effect of any kind. As far back as Pharaoh's time petroleum was used to make sick people well, and with larger knowledge and scientific research comes the positive assurance that nothing is better for throat and lung troubles. When properly refined and emulsified its effect is soothing and healing, but there is everything in knowing what oil to use and how to use it. The best preparation of petroleum for internal use is Angier's Petroleum Emulsion. In the special process by which it is purified they eliminate all the irritating and nauseous properties of the crude oil without losing any of its medicinal qualities. It is pleasant to take, agreeing with the most sensitive. stomach. The combination with hypophosphites makes it a valuable nerve food and tonic. The New Orleans Polyclinic Thirteenth Annual Session 30 Tyree's Antiseptic Powder Is prepared by methods which bring together and hold in definite chemical union in the form of a soluble, odorless, non-irritating powder, such valuable antiseptic, detergent and astringent agents as Soda, Bor., Ac. Carbol., Glycerin, the cryst. principles of Thyme, Eucalyptus, Gaultheria and Mentha. Some of these agents were formerly used in high-priced solutions under the claim that the value of their combination depended solely upon dispensing them in solution. Tyree's Powder represents all the good there is in these agents without a particle of their harm in the way of bulk, stain, cost and smarting. Two gallons of Standard Antiseptic Solution can be prepared in an instant from so small a quantity as two ounces of Tyree's Powder, which can be carried in a pill box, at a cost of 25 cents. Made under ordinary methods, such a quantity would cost fully $1 or more. The low price is due solely to the fact that the water, alcohol and expensive containers have been left out and the patients pay for nothing but what they really need (the powder), they add the water themselves, consequently the use of this powder means getting the best therapeutic value out of the best known agents for LEUCORRHEA AND GONORRHEA in the shortest space of time at the least risk and the smallest cost. So conservative an organ as the New York Polyclinic comments upon this preparation as follows: "We believe that, as a rule, leucorrhea is not well treated, therefore we make no apology for alluding to the treatment of so common an affection. Unless the vaginal flow be of intra-uterine origin, we know of no other means so simple and yet so effectual as the use of Pulv. Antiseptic Comp., Tyree's. It is in every way preferable to all the usual remedies used, many of which stain and are otherwise objectionable. The quality of endorsements given to this preparation are such as to stamp it as an article of unquestionable merit for the various forms of leucorrhea." WORTH READING J. S. TYREE, CHEMIST, An Injustice. Probably no drug has been more unjustly maligned than erythroxylon coca. Yet no drug has really rendered more aid to therapeutics, as demonstrated in the many writings by authors, botanists and medical observers during the past century. At the time of the Incas (twelfth century), long before the discovery of Peru by Pizarro (1524), coca was in extensive use. It rendered the greatest service as a restorative, a fortifier, a sustainer. It was entirely depended upon to insure resistance to disease, fatigue, hardships or toil. For centuries coca proved its usefulness and merit; it so has continued, notwithstanding the systematic series of attacks instigated in the sensational press, about three years ago, by malicious persons who had special interests in endeavoring to bring coca into disrepute, if possible, to dissuade its use. The fast-growing popularity of coca through the untiring efforts of Mariani, of Paris, who was the first to introduce it in Europe and in America in a uniformly reliable and agreeable form, and his labor and serious work in this direction. 31 Selected Articles. were appreciated by the medical profession.* His preparation has become a most formidable rival to the many so-called tonics, restoratives and stimulants. When it was clearly demonstrated that coca was vastly superior and was being adopted universally by the physician, each manufacturer hastened to add coca in some form or another to their various mixtures. While this was an admission of the value of coca, it really injured its reputation, owing to the defective preparations produced. Unsatisfactory, even harmful results induced the profession to reject the many valueless, at times dangerous, concoctions. An active campaign was opened against coca in the medical and daily press. Sensational articles without any basis of fact were instigated, with the dual purpose of inciting the opinion of the physician and the public against the drug, and thus prevent its use. The manufacturers had no knowledge of the requisite treatment and preparation of this delicate, probably most volatile of plants-in fact, were unable to procure reliable leaves, there being even a vastly greater variation than in tea. Due to these causes, the manufacturers were either compelled to or voluntarily stopped the use of coca, thus proving again the old saying, "the survival of the fittest," as, notwithstanding the combined efforts of the many competitors and antagonists, the well-known preparation of coca by Mariani, of Paris, France, which bears his name, is the only one which has resisted all attacks directed against coca. Introduced to the profession more than thirty-five years ago, it stands without an equal, and continues to be endorsed and upheld by all who subject it to thorough test. It certainly merits the attention of practitioners who for any of the aforesaid reasons may not have considered coca in its true light, or who may have become prejudiced. Mariani's Coca can be conscientiously recommended; its adoption into practice as an adjuvant in treatment of the innumerable cases where an absolutely reliable tonic, effective but mild stimulant is indicated, will render more assistance than any drug or medium known to therapeutics.
