HEROISM OF MEDICAL OFFICERS IN THE CHINESE

WAR.

An item which must excite admiration is reported by a correspondent at Wei-hai-wei in the current number of the Broad Arrow: "Now came a touching proof of heroic devotion to duty. While the storm of lead was still hurling thickly through the air, a company of Red Cross men, always well to the front, appeared on the field, stolidly marching out from the ravines, two and two, with stretchers and 'first-aid' appliances for their comrades, right under the withering fire from the gunboat, with never a moment's hesitation. Unarmed, but for a paltry dirk at the side, helpless in any case against such an attack, with foes heedless or ignorant of the sacred significance of the Red Cross badge, they did not flinch for a moment on their errand of mercy. It would have been easy to wait until the fire should cease, but they nobly went on and did their work as if on their parade ground at home. One by one the dead and wounded were sought out all over that wide field of blood, and borne away, until within twenty minutes the place was completely cleared of every man, living or dead. Colonel Taylor, A. M. S., declared it the most splendid deed he ever saw, and the other foreign attaches who saw it were equally emphatic in their praise."-Medical Record.

The Sexual Tonic Granules have proven to be a great success in relieving nocturnal emissions, spermatorrhea, etc,; $1.85 per thousand or 20 cents for a trial hundred. The Epilepsy Granules are also satisfactory; same price. The Special Tonic Granule is the best combination known to tone up a debilitated system; same price. The best formula for weak, irregular heart action is the Heart Tonic Granule; same price. The Uterine Granule is most excellent in case of lucorrhea, pelvic pains, irregular, painful or scanty menstruation-as a general tonic and regulator of the female genative system, $3.35 per thousand; 100, 45 cents.

I am glad to see that you appreciate the opportunity which opens before you for doing good, without thought of the sordid gold which so often defiles those who handle it. Let this be your motto: 'He went about doing good."" No. 2 (one year later.) "My Dear Son. not expect me to give you a thorough education and then supply you with means afterwards.

INSANE WIT.

The Medical Press tells a story of a gentleman who went to visit a friend who was an inmate of a lunatic asylum. When he had been there about half an hour he looked at the clock and asked if it was right. The lunatic gazed at him with a look of compassion for a minute or so, and then said: "Do you think it would be here if it was right, you lunatic?"

PHYSIOLOGICAL ACTION OF MASSAGE UPON

MUSCLE.

In a recent discussion carried on in the Arch Italiennes de Biolog., Maggiores deduces these conclu sions:

1. Massage applied to muscle at rest increases its resistance to fatigue and modifies and delays fatigue proper.

2. In certain cases the good effects of massage are in proportion to the length of time that it is given.

3. Massage prevents in muscle the accumulation of fatigue-products due to work that is too closely consecutive.

4. Percussion and rubbing are inferior to kneading and to mixed massage; that is to the alternate application of these three methods.

5. In muscles weakened by fasting, massage increases resistance to the effects of work.

6. Upon muscles fatigued or weakened by general causes, as forced marching, watching, brain-work, massage exercises a restorative action.

7. Massage has no good effect whatever upon muscles in which the circulation of the blood is suppressed.

"Yes," said the tourist in the Pennsylvania metropolis, "I have been in Philadelphia three days and I would kind of like a little "livening up.”

"Certainly, sir," said the polite Philadelphian, "we understand that travelers like excitement. Just let me show you around to the morgue."

A SUGGESTION FOR INCREASING THE FLOW

OF MILK.

Too many mothers have not quite enough milk for Baby, and desire to increase the amount. A most successful doctor recommended, with best results, a very simple thing that he said never failed in such cases. It was putting olive oil on the breast several times a day and rubbing it in with gentle yet firm massage toward the nipple. The oil acts as a food, while the massage empties and stimulates the milk glands. A decided improvement can be seen in two or three days.

SAYS A PROMINENT PHYSICIAN.

"I am astonished at the remarkably beneficial results obtained in cases of La Grippe in which I have, of late, prescribed Horlick's Malted Milk. In my own case it not only proved very refreshing and nourishing, but at the same time quenched my thirst and assured me a good night's rest. I attribute my (Continued on next leaf.)

One of the oldest and best known of the Washington physicians writes as follows:

"I have used your Cerebro-Spinant, Freligh's Tonic, since its first introduction, all of ten years When I prescribe it there is nothing more to trouble me, as I am certain of results. For a while back, though I did not obtain the usual results. At first I was inclined to think you were letting it fall from its high standard, but wishing to use it in my own family lately, I sent to you direct for a bottle. It is sufficient to say that I think you have even Advanced the standard. The fault before was the growing evil of substitution. As every bottle of the Tonic bears the formula upon it, and conforms fully to the requirements of the Code, I now invariably, write " Original Bottle" upon every R for it, and call the attention of the patient also to it. I know your difficulty in obtaining evidence of substitution sufficient to convict the offender, but if in your advertisements, you will urge the profession to stipulate "Original Bottle" on the R, it will benefit all of us, and help to prevent the evil. We must do this with articles as valuable as your Cerebro-Spinant, which is a sine qua non with me in the treatment of certain cases, or we must take a long step backward, and do our own dispensing once more. I, for one, feel too old to undertake it."

The above, and thousands of similar commendatory letters from the profession, can be examined at
