1 THE CROWNING DEVELOPMENT OF PRACTICAL MEDICINE IN HÆMATHERAPY, OR BLOOD TREATMENT. A FILM OF BOVININE: BLOOD, AND BLOOD ALONE, is physiologically ascertained to be the essential and fundamental Principle of Healing, of Defense, and of Repair. in the human system; and this Principle is now proved, by constant clinical experience, to be practically available to the system in all cases, to any extent, and wherever needed, internally or externally. And the same overwhelming clinical demonstrations have also proved that the Vitality and Power of Bovine Blood can be and are PRESERVED, unimpaired, in a portable and durable preparation, sold by all druggists, and known as Bovinine. Microscopic examination of a film of Bovinine will show the LIVING BLOOD CORPUSCLES filling the field, in all their integrity, fullness, and energy; ready for direct transfusion into the system by any and every mode of access known to medical and surgical practice; alimentary, rectal, hypodermical, or topical. Micro-photographed by Prof. R. R. Andrews, M.D. In short, it is now an established fact, that if Nature fails to make good blood, we can introduce it. Nothing of disease, so far, has seemed to stand before it. Apart from private considerations, these facts are too momentous to mankind, and now too well established, to allow any further reserve or hesitation in asserting them to the fullest. extent. We have already duly waited, for three years; allowing professional experimentation to go on, far and near, through the disinterested enthusiasm which the subject had awakened in a number of able physicians and surgeons, and these daily reinforced by others, through correspondence, and by comparison and accumulation of their experiences in a single medical medium adopted for that provisional purpose. It is now laid upon the conscience of every physician, surgeon, and medical instructor, to ascertain for himself whether these things are so; and if so, to develope, practise and propagate the great medical evangel. without reserve. They may use our Bovinine for their investigations, if they cannot do better, and we will cheerfully afford every assistance, through samples, together with a profusion of authentic clinical precedents, given in detail, for their instruction in the philosophy, methods and technique of the New Treatment of all kinds of disease by Bovine Blood, so far as now or hereafter developed. Among the formidable diseases overcome by the Blood Treatment, in cases hitherto desperate of cure, may be mentioned: Advanced Consumption; Typhoid Fever; Pernicious Anæmia; Cholera Infantum, Inanition, etc.; Hæmorrhagic Collapse; Ulcers of many years standing, all kinds; Abscesses; Fistulas; Gangrene; Gonorrhoea, etc.; Blood-poisoning; Crushed or Decayed Bones; Mangled Flesh, and great Burns, with Skin-propagation from 'points' of skin; etc., etc. N. B. Bovinine is not intended to be, and cannot be made, an article of popular self-prescription. As it is not a stimulant, its extended employment in the past has been, and the universal employment to which it is destined will be, dependent altogether on the express authority of attending physicians.

Taka-Diastase.—We take the following from literature on Taka-Diastase lately issued by Messrs. Parke, Davis & Company: "When Taka-Diastase was first produced we did not consider it probable that it could be held in solution in such a way as to make a permanent and palatable preparation without destroying the amylolytic converting power of the Diastase to a certain extent. We have been experimenting in this direction, however, for upwards of a year, and early last summer found that we could make a perfectly reliable and palatable Liquid Taka-Diastase. The question of its permanency could only be determined by time and exposing the experimental batches to varying degrees of heat. "We have succeeded in producing just what we desired, and trust that our efforts to produce a liquid preparation of Taka-Diastase which will be found particularly acceptable to children will meet with your approval. "We originally instituted these experiments at the request of practitioners who had obtained satisfactory results with Taka-Diastase, whose practice being largely among women and children. often had patients complain of having to take it in powders, and asked for a liquid. Each fluidrachm contains two grains of Taka-Diastase; and, as you are aware, one grain of Taka-Diastase will convert 100 grains of starch in ten minutes under proper conditions. "Careful experiments have appeared to indicate that the proper dose for adults of the Liquid Taka-Diastase is one teaspoonful during or immediately after meals." A Remedy in Nervous Disorders when -Mode of Exhibition. The "Reference Book of Practical Therapeutics," by Frank P. Foster, M.D., Editor of The New York Medical Journal, which has recently been issued by D. Appleton Co., of New York City, contains an article of which the following is an excerpt, which we feel expresses the consensus of medical opinion as adduced by actual results: "Antikamnia is an American preparation that has come into extensive use as an analgetic and antipyretic. It is a white, crystalline, odorless powder, having a slightly aromatic taste, soluble in hot water, almost insoluble in cold water, but more fully soluble in alcohol. 5 narcotics. It has been much used, and with very favorable results in neuralgia, influenza and various nervous disorders characterized by melancholia. The dose of antikamnia is from three to ten grains, and it is most conveniently given in the form of tablets." We may add, that the best vehicles, in our experience, for the exhibition of antikamnia are Simple Elixir, Adjuvant Elixir or Aromatic Elixir, as also brandy, wine or whiskey. It can also be readily given in cachets or capsules, but preferably tablets, as well as dry on the tongue in powder form, followed by a swallow of water. When dispensed in cachets or capsules it should be put into them dry. Antikamnia tablets should be crushed when very prompt effect is desired and patients should always be so instructed. The conditions of the stomach frequently present unfavorable solvent influences and they can be thus overcome. -Notes New Pharm. Products. In Pneumonia where there is Restlessness. Tinct.
