MEDICINE AND VET. ARCH. 311 West 59th Street, New York. Copies may be had in London of BALLIERE, TINDALL & COX. Contains the Essential Elements of the Animal Organization-Potash and Lime. The Oxidising Agents-Iron and Manganese; The Tonics-Quinine and Strychnine; And the Vitalizing Constituent-Phosphorus; the whole combined in the form of a Syrup with a Slightly Alkaline Reaction. It Differs in its Effects from all Analogous Preparations; and it possesses the important properties of being pleasant to the taste, easily borne by the stomach, and harmless under prolonged use. It has Gained a Wide Reputation, particularly in the treatment of Pulmonary Tuberculosis, Chronic Bronchitis, and other affections of the respiratory organs. It has also been employed with much success in various nervous and debilitating diseases. Its Curative Power is largely attributable to its stimulant, tonic, and nutritive properties, by means of which the energy of the system is recruited. Its Action is Prompt: it stimulates the appetite and the digestion, it promotes asaimilation, and it enters directly into the circulation with the food products. The prescribed dose produces a feeling buoyancy, and removes depression and melancholy; hence the preparation is of great value in the treatment of mental and nervous affections. From the fact, also, that it exerts a double tonic influence, and induces a healthy flow of the secretions, its use is indicated in a wide range of diseases. NOTICE-CAUTION. The success of Fellows' Syrup of Hpyophosphites has tempted certain persons to offer imitations of it for sale. Mr. Fellows, who has examined samples of several of these, finds that no two of them are identical, and that all of them differ from the original in composition, in freedom from acid reaction, in susceptibility to the effects of oxygen when exposed to light or heat, in the property of retaining the strychnine in solution, and the medicinal effects. As these cheap and inefficient substitutes are frequently dispensed instead of the genuine preparation, physicians are earnesily requested, when prescribing the Syrup, to write "Syr. Hypophos. Fellows." As a further precaution, it is advisable that the Syrup should be ordered in the original bottles; the distinguishing marks which the bottles (and the wrappers surrounding them) bear, can then be examined, and the genuineness -or otherwise-of the contents thereby proved Medical Letters may be addressed to: Mr. FELLOWS, 48 Vesey St., N. Y. HORSE BALLS, LOTIONS, LINIMENTS AND POWDERS. We are prepared to manufacture coated or uncoated Horse Balls from private or special formule of every description. Many veterinary surgeons have favorite perscriptions which they administer largely in their practice, and the cost of putting up of which-in limited quantities and without facilities-is somewhat excessive. We are in a position to supply all such formule in quantities upon reasonable notice, and at very low rates; whether they are desired in the form of Horse Balls, Lotions, Liniments, Powders or otherwise. We use no inferior materials; our processes of manufacture are the best and latest improved. Private prescriptions entrusted to us for estimates or manufacture, are held in strictest confidence; the formulæ being regarded as the property of their owners, are never disclosed to anyone. IMPROVED VETERINARY HYPODERMIC CASE. The most thorough comparative tests of pepsins of various manufactures have demonstrated that of Parke, Davis & Co. to be far superior in digestive activity, and in all the requirements of a first-class pepsin. We offer the following preparations of pepsin : Pepsin, Glycerole conc. in 12-fluid ounce bottles. in 8-fluid ounce bottles. in 4-fluid ounce bottles. Pepsin, lactated, in ounce vials incl. in lb. bottles incl. Pepsin, lactated, tablets, 8 gr. in bottles of 30 each. in bottles of 65 each. in bottles of 100 each. Pepsin, liquid, U. S. P. 1880, in pint bottles. Pepsinum purum, lamellis, in 1 oz. vials. One grain will dissolve 2,000 grs. coagulated egg albumen. Pepsinum purum pulvis, in oz. vials incl. This preparation in the form of powder instead of scales, is of the same digestive strength as pepsin purum in lamellis. ANTISEPTIC AND DISINFECTANT PREPARATIONS. We have a full line of this class of preparations adapted for use in every condition in which antiseptics or disinfectants are indicated, and will be pleased to furnish complete descriptive circulars. We may especially mention antiseptic liquid, a combination of the chlorides of aluminum, sodium, magnesium, calcium and zinc with oils of Eucalyptus globulus and Gaultheria procumbens. It is admirably adapted for use about the stables, cellars, out-houses, etc. WITCH HAZEL AND CHAULMOOGRA OIL. The distilled extract of witch hazel has long been known to be a valuable remedy applied locally for relieving pain and subduing inflammation in wounds and contusions. Our product will be found of uniform strength and purity. Chaulmoogra Oil is very largely used abroad for local application in stiffness, lameness and to prevent the development of these conditions after severe muscular exertion, as in hunting or racing. Complete descriptive circulars and any desired information regarding our products promptly furnished on application. PARKE, DAVIS & CO., Manufacturing Chemists, Detroit, Mich. |
