The Medical Register says of the MEDICAL WORLD Visiting List: "The great advantage of the List over others with which we are familiar is the fact that the services rendered, with the amounts charged, are entered in writing and figures, and not in symbols. Hence, the book may be presented in court in case of dispute, and will be accepted as book of original entry. It has merits which stand second to the former, such as small bulk, neatness, good paper and print, and ready facility for reference. But the first is the best reason, to our mind, for its use. Physicians' book-keeping is now a complicated, inefficient and awkward procedure, and any means that may be introduced to simplify and render it more accurate are worthy of commendation. Hence, we feel justified in strongly recommending this List to our readers.

Dr. W. J. Conner's Patent Cane for Carrying Medicine and Instruments. 1886.

THE PHYSICIAN'S COMPANION! IT IS ALWAYS AT HAND AND READY! SOMETHING NEW! IT IS PERFECT! I beg leave to offer to the Profession an article indispensable to the practitioner. It is recommended for its simplicity of construction. It virtually does away with the Lunglesome and annoying Hand and Pocket Med cine Cases. The cane is made of trass, enameled, black, highly polished, with 16 kt. Chased Rolled Gold Head. [See Cut ] The head is hollow, and letter A is cap to cover the cavity. The chamber is large enough to carry hypodermic syringe and small instruments sufficient for immediate use. The body of the cane D is a hollow tube in which is inserted a tray which is fastened to the handle. In this tray are sixteen phials for medicine. Letter C represents tray withdrawn out of cane and detached from handle. Bis tray partia ly withdrawn. When closed it is a FINE, NEAT, WALKING CANE of medium size. They are sold to the profession as follows: Chased Gold Head, $20. Sent C. O. D., or on receipt of money, draft or P. O. Order. IN USE AND RECOMMENDED BY THE PROFESSION. SOLD THE FIRST YEAR OVER 4,000. For further particulars, address, W. J. CONNER, M.D., Labette City, Kansas.

A VEGETABLE HYPNOTIC.

Pil. Ext. Humuli Concentrated.

Heretofore the chief objection to this valuable drug has been the large, and disagreeable dose necessary to produce a decided effect. This we have entirely overcome, in this form of administration. Our Extract of Hops is prepared by an entirely new process, by which all the active tonic, hypnotic and anaphrodisiac properties are retained unimpaired, while the degree of concentration is such that each pill represents about twenty grains of Lupulin, thereby enabling the Physician to exhibit this most efficient drug, in a small and agreeable dose.

Pil. Headache. (Brooks.)

[blocks in formation]

This pill has been thoroughly tested, and in a majority of cases will give immediate relief in sick and nervous headaches.

Syrup Terebene Aromatic.

Terebene has been thoroughly tested, and found a potent and valuable remedy in all Bronchial and Pulmonary troubles. In Syrup Terebene Aromatic, its unpleasant taste is completely disguised, without lessening its activity. Each fluid drachm contains 12 drops pure Terebene.

Saline and Chalybeate Tonic Tablets (Flints). Glycerine Suppositories, containing 95 per cent. pure Glycerine, Antiseptic Tablets (Seiler's), Gelatine Coated Pills and Granules, Tablet Triturates, Hypodermic Tablets, Compressed Tablets and Lozenges, Elixirs, Wines, Syrups, and all Pharmaceutical Preparations.

We have from time to time made improvements to this set and are now making a perfect aseptic set, which offers especial facilities for aseptic precautions; the blades are soldered into hollow German-silver handles, nickel plated, are light so as not to be unwieldy and admit of a firm grasp when operating.

The saw is adjusted to the handle on an entirely new principle, being made to separate easily and to facilitate thorough cleansing.

The handle is entirely of metal and fenestrated to overcome unnecessary weight.

Scissors and Forceps having French locks can be separated, and the slide can be easily removed from Artery and Needle Forceps.

Therefore, no opportunity is offered for the lodgment and development of germs.

The entire set is patterned with especial reference to facility in cleansing.

The instruments can be sterilized by placing them in boiling water, without fear of damaging them. Wood or rubber handles will not admit of this procedure. For price see caseA.

The following instruments are put up in either a fine Mahogany or Morocco case, with nickel trimmings, lined with velvet, and has an extra space for Trephine with handle, and Elevator if desired.

One Amputating Knife (6-in. blade); One Finger Knife; One Hernia Knife; One Sharp Curved Bistoury; Two Scalpels; One Tenotome; One Tenaculum; One Pair Scissors, curved or flat; One Saw (9 in. blade); One Liston's Bone Forceps,

with Spring; One Artery and Needie Forceps, improved; One Esmarch's Flat Rubber Tourniquet, with Chain: One Hæmostatic Forceps; One Director, with Aneurism Needle; Two Silver Probes; Silk, Wire, Wax and Needles.
