The Requisites of

A PERFECT PILL

NE of the first objects of the skillful manufacturer is so to prepare the pill as to secure its prompt and complete solution in the stomach. Without solubility no therapeutic effect can be obtained, but gastric disturbances, together with toxic effects from accumulation, are liable to occur. To insure uniformly good results the excipient must be carefully chosen; it should be compatible to the other ingredients of the pill, unalterable, and should tend to preserve the activity of the medicaments. A certain degree of firmness is necessary, but in a properly prepared pill this is not incompatible with ready and complete solubility in the stomach. The coating of the pill is a very important matter. The coating of the "W. H. S. & Co." pill is thin, transparent, smooth, readily soluble and impervious to atmospheric influences. The pill mass shows its color through the coating, which, while it affords a certain amount of protection against accidents, also enhances the beauty of the pill. But the "W. H. S. & Co." pill has a higher claim for recognition than any thus far stated; only the purest materials, in the exact quantities demanded by the formula, are ever employed. No component is omitted or substituted, either for the sake of economy or on account of difficulty in manipulation. The high reputation enjoyed by the "W. H. S. & Co." pills is due to the fact that they possess all the characteristics of a perfect preparation of this kind, namely, PURITY of medicaments and excipients, PRECISION as to weight and division, UNIFORMITY as to activity and identity, SOLUBILITY of mass and coating, PALATABILITY and ELEGANCE of appearance.

Attention may be directed to the following seasonable formula: PIL. PHENACETINE, CAMPHORÆ ET ATROPINÆ

PIL. PHENACETINE ET QUININA COMP.

"Schieffelin's."

(Prof. W. H. Thomson.)

Phenacetine-Bayer

Quininæ Sulphatis
Ext. Aconiti Rad. -

Pulv. Ipecac. et Opii

3 grs.

2 grs. 1-12 gr. 1⁄2 gr.

For the treatment of La Grippe, Dr. W. H. Thomson says he has obtained the best results from the use of Phenacetine and Quinine Compound Pills, given in the following manner:

At the onset of the Grippe, with symptoms of aching in the head or body, and with feverishness, take two or three pills every three hours. On the next day, if symptoms subside, take one pill every three hours.

"Schieffelin's."

(Dr. A. H. Smith.)
Phenacetine-Bayer

Camphora
Atropinæ Sulph.

grs. 31⁄2
1/2

1-300

The above formula has been suggested by Dr. Andrew H. Smith, of New York, who states as follows: In the treatment of Influenza or La Grippe, I have used this formula for the past three or four years, with marked success. I give two pills at the outset, and one every three hours thereafter during the febrile stage, or while pain continues.

The above formula was used in the form of tablets for some time, but, owing to the volatile character of the camphor, it is preferable to use the Soluble Pills, as made by Messrs. W. H. Schieffelin & Co., New York.

MESSES. B. KEITH & CO., Gentlemen:-The con. tinc. avena sativa has been more successful in the treatment of the opium habit than anything I have ever tried, and I have tried various other remedies, among them the advertised nostrums. J. C. HALLOWAY, M. D. ADAMSVILLE, 0.

MESSES. B. KEITH & CO., Gentlemen:-G. M., aged 33 years. Merchant, had circumscribed peritonitis and thickening for some time. On account of pain and tenderness, his physician prescribed morphine in small doses, but he used it afterwards, of his own accord, until the habit was established. He tried hard to break off, but he would always be taken with great prostration and irritation of the stomach, vomit everything he took and would get down, and finally in about thirty-six hours would take morphine again, and in a short time feel all right. While under its influence he commenced to take whisky and beer to keep from the morphine. He also tried different doctors, but all the same. When I was consulted he would take stimulants and then increase the morphine to keep off big head (as he called it), taking one drachm of morphine every two days. He was miserable, and when trying to quit it said if the suffering and agony of hell was as bad he wanted to steer clear of the place. I tried valerian, and nearly all nerve tonics and nerve stimulants, and to diminish the dose of morphine, but all did no good. I then told him of the avena sativa about which I had read, and he said if he could quit without so much suffering he would, if not, he could not bear the agony, and would take it and die as soon as possible. Tobtained the avena and prescribed it in fifteen drop doses whenever he felt the need of morphine which was four times a day; and for two nights I gave him about a one-fourth grain of morphia, when he said he could do without it he did not suffer any more. Thus he left off taking morphine, and has never taken another dose of it. The first night without morphine he slept reasonably well, and each succeeding night better, until five nights, when he slept well; then I gave him only three doses of the avena for three days, then two doses for three days, then only one dose in the evening for one week. All this time he rested very well, said his suffering was nothing to what he had expected, and that any one could go through it with half grit. [His own language.] Since then he has taken neither avena nor morphine, and is now well and has no desire for any stimulant, and says that "he would not have the habit for the world." He has gained thirty pounds, namely, he has now his original weight. He never was an intemperate man until the morphine was prescribed for him by a physician, through which he was ruined, losing nearly all his property and a great deal of self-respect. He had never been without morphine for more than thirtysix to forty hours since he had contracted the habit, namely, during three years. A. L. JACKSON, M. D.

Read and Reflect

The noted artist, Michael Angelo, was once asked what he mixed certain colors with and his answer was: "With brains, sir." The secret of the wonderful success of the Imperial Hernia Cure is the fact that brains and plenty of them are in the formula.

Almost any physician taking Heaton's old formula for a guide, might work out one of the inferior compounds of Quercus Alba, Iodine and Carbolic Acid. Once upon a time the Imperial formula was something like this, but brains have wrought a wondrous change. Read on:-Life is short and to the individual who is afflicted with hernia it is all but pleasant.

The decision reached by most physicians of to-day when consulted by such a sufferer, is that nothing can be done in the way of effecting a cure, except by a surgical operation. If the patient will not submit to this he is told that he will probably have to wear a truss the balance of his days.

Doctor, do you know what this verdict of yours means? It means days, months and probably years of suffering, and truly it is an unkind, uncharitable and unfeeling verdict. The modern modus operandii in the treatment of hernia as employed by us, is so simple, yet so very effective, and we are so ready to prove its efficacy that every physician in the land should give it a thorough investigation before he informs his longsuffering patient what can or cannot be done for him.

Laying aside the question of large fees (which are readily obtained) should not the great relief afforded to suffering humanity be taken into consideration? We a sert emphatically that fully 95 per cent of those who willgive our method a few days careful study, will be successful in the treatment of rupture.

It is not necessary to be the possessor of a fine surgical chair or table in order to treat these cases successfully. A comfortable lounge or couch will do very well.

Bear this in mind: The Inperial fluid is thoroughly anti-septic, perfectly safe and painless and decidedly permanent in its effect. It is a scientific combination, the result of extensive research and careful experiment. Drop us a line, Doctor, and we will be pleased to mail you our literature, terms, etc. 4 Exclusive territory is given when desired."
