Made, as it is, from the juice of lean, raw meat, it affords to the blood-making organs the necessary material for new and vitalized blood in a condition for immediate utilization. For this reason, when given alone or in addition to the regular diet, it is especially efficacious in restoring convalescente to a normal condition of health. It contains all the active tissue-building materials of lean, raw meat in a soluble and palatable form, and furnishes a more easily digested food than milk, and, given in equal quantity, three times as much nutriment. It also contains all the meat salts so necessary to the proper growth of the body and its organs. To these facts may be ascribed its effectiveness in conditions of mal-nutrition. It builds up pale and sickly children, increasing both weight and strength, gives color to cheeks and lips, makes the flesh firm and rosy, nourishes the nervous system properly, removing a frequent cause of fretfulness and crying, supplies material for bones and teeth, and lays the foundation for a vigorous and healthy childhood by providing those elements required to sustain the body and build up sound tissues. In stomachic and intestinal troubles of childhood, proceeding from indigestion, its administration is followed by marked benefits, while bottle-fed infants thrive wonderfully upon it, five to fifteen drops being added to each feeding. A decided change for the better is often seen in weakly infants of twenty-four hours. It is retained and assimilated by the weakest stomach when all else is rejected. By injection alone it will sustain life for many days, when from the condition of the throat, as in diphtheria or severe scarlet fever, nothing can be swallowed. Milk is the best vehicle for its administration. When the vital powers of nursing mothers are severely taxed, and the system is breaking down because of the drain upon it, BOVININE is of the greatest service by its tonic and food properties. It stimulates the appetite, betters digestion, sustains and invigorates the over taxed powers, and increases the quantity and quality of the milk. It is endorsed, after eight years' trial, by the leading members of the medical profession, of all schools, and in use in all the children's hospital throughout the country. "During the last four months of his sickness the principal food of my father, General Grant, was Bovinine and milk, and it was the use of this incomparable food alone that enabled him to finish the second volume of his personal memoirs.

MY New Orleans, August, 1890. Materia Medica. MAGNESIA PHOSPHORICA. BY H. P. HOLMES, M. D., SYCAMORE, ILL. Y FIRST experience with Magnesia phosphorica was in January, 1888. I was called to see a gentleman about sixty years of age, suffering from flatulent colic. He had been sick for several hours before sending for me on the morning of the 23d. I found him in great pain, abdomen bloated aud tympanitic, bowels constipated, inability to pass flatus either up or down, anxious and restless. Many symptoms pointing to Colocynth, and as it had long been a favorite remedy with me in attacks of colic, I prescribed it with the expectation of speedily removing the trouble. Another day passed and the patient grew steadily worse. From the coated tongue, the head symptoms and the erratic condition of the fever symptoms, which had appeared during the last two days, I prescribed China as being well indicated, and at my next visit found my patient still growing worse. The tympanitis was extreme, there was great distress, patient growing very anxious and discouraged about his case. It certainly began to look desperate. Kentucky Association, 1890. No. 5 In my study of the case I had looked through Schussler's first monograph and was struck by the indications given for the use of Magnesia phosphorica in similar cases. I at once gave the 6x trituration, the only potency I had, a small powder to be given every hour. I made my next call in the evening and found my patient sitting up in bed, and a cheerful smile overspread his face as I came in the room. "Ah, doctor, you have struck it this time!" was his greeting. "It was not fifteen minutes after taking the first powder when I began to feel easier; and when I took the second powder, oh, my! but how the wind did pour away from me!" I had never seen such a positive change in a patient in so short a time. The bowels had regained their normal size, walls of the abdomen were loose and flexible instead of their former drum-like feel. Suffice to say I made one more visit to the patient and then discharged the case. Since then I have assisted in the proving made under the supervision of Dr. H. C. Allen. My provings were all made with the 200th potency, two doses re peated one hour apart. One of my provers was an Allopathic physician, who knew what he was taking and in what potency. By referring to the Medical Advance for December, 1889, page 390, his proving will be seen. In his case the |
