44 MELACHOL Liquid Form MEL EFFERVESCING ELACHOL is a preparation containing important chemical constituents of healthy blood. The name is derived from two Greek words meaning Black Bile, as one of its striking therapeutic qualities is its derivative action on the liver. MELACHOL, effervescing tablet form-each tablet contains thirty-five grains of Phosphates with Nitrates of Sodium combined. MELACHOL, liquid form-is a chemical combination of Phosphates with Nitrates of Sodium, eighty-five grains to the fluid drachm. The diseases in which Melachol is indicated are Constipation, Prostatitis, Cerebral, Uterine, and Hepatic Congestion, Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Albuminuria, and Skin Eruptions, and in all wasting diseases and general functional disturbances. In cases of dissipation, either alcoholic or venereal, it meets the physiologic necessities and restores the functional activities. When used as a laxative, it is both safe and effective, and being derivative in its nature, is peculiarly adaptable to every condition in which this action is required, whether direct or adjuvant. It should be taken largely diluted in water, unless other remedies be used with it which afford the desired dilution. MELACHOL may be given in conjunction with any other tonic that the case in hand may indicate. PHASELIN IN TABLET AND POWDER FORM PHASELIN is the principle of a bean (Dolikos) growing wild in Mexico, long known as a powerful adjustant of intestinal disorders. Its signal therapeutic power is expressed in its general effect upon all of the gastric functions. It is soothing to an irritated stomach, whether from acute or chronic causes. It has been proven that PHASELIN is an effective digestant of all the elements entering the organism, both animal and vegetable; it relieves Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Colic and other intestinal disorders. In Lesions, Ulcers, Skin Diseases-dust over surface; in inflammations, use warm poultices over affected surface. RHEUMAGON The name RHEUMAGON is derived from two Greek words, signifying activity in rheumatic affections. It is composed of Sodium Iodide and Sodium Phosphate combined in accordance with their relative values as remedies in the diseases for which it is recommended. It is an efficient stimulant to the entire lymphatic apparatus of the glands and their appendages in the skin, mucous and serous membranes. It is therefore indicated in Rheumatism, Otorrhoea, Gout, Scrofula, and every variety of blood poisoning. RHEUMAGON is compatible with all remedies, but should not be mixed with Strychnine in solution. Liberal samples on payment of express charges; literature on application to ALTA PHARMACAL CO., ST.
