"Treat's Annual" has been before the profession for the past twelve years, and the majority of American physicians are familiar with it.

PHILLIPS CHEMICAL CO., 77 PINE ST., NEW YORK. 052 25250 The Tax We do not refer to the income tax which is incor porated in the new Tariff Bill, but to that tax on the nutritive income of one suffering from Typhoid Fever. Both during the course of the disease, and after the establishment of convalesence, Liquid Peptònoids aids in the maintenance and restoration of the normal balance between the nutritive income and outgo. It has been found by clinical experience to excei other agents of this class, because while it fosters nutrition, it does not disturb, but instead actually aids the digestive functions. Above all it is absolutely journals or otherwise, the new discoveries, new inventions, etc., is carefully noted in this volume and the main facts given. The greatest difficulty met with in the preparation of this volume, was to keep it within such reasonable limits as to render it a handiwork of reference without sacrificing its completeness. The year 1894 witnessed many advancements in the science of medicine; a further study into the pathology and causation of disease has, in many instances, suggested a new line of therapeutics, and a further study into the physiological and therapeutical effects of certain drug has suggested new uses for them; some new remedies have been discovered, and some inventions in the way of appliances, etc., have been made during the past year, and all of these things have received their due consideration in the "Annual" for 1895. Among the list of contributing American physicians to this volume we notice Drs. Allan McLane Hamilton, H. P. Loomis, John Ridlon, A. D. Rockwell, W. Blair Stewart, J. Madison Taylor, W. Gilman Thompson, W. B. Vanderpoel, Robert L. Watkins, Irving S. Haynes, and F. W. Koch. Leading physicians of England, Scotland and other countries have assisted in the work of preparing this year's Annual. H. We are in receipt of Frederick Stearns & Co.'s newly revised trade pamphlet on Wine and Cod-Liver Oil. This describes, in a concise manner, the theory relative to the active principles contained in cod-liver oil, on which they base their claim that the most effective method of administering cod-liver oil is by employing these active constituents of the oil from which the fatty matter has been removed in solution in a delicate wine. The results obtained from clinical work done with their preparation of Wine of Cod Liver Oil, have been so uniformly favorable as to substantiate their claim that patients build up more rapidly, without becoming nauseated or suffering from digestive disturbances, on Wine of Cod-Liver Oil, than when the plain oil or emulsions of the oil are employed. They have embodied in this little treatise nearly two hundred reports from physicians in active practice throughout the United States, and have compiled a therapeutic index, giving a list of ailments in which Wine of Cod-Liver Oil may be appropriately prescribed with benefit to the patient, and in most instances citing authorities who have employed it in these cases. Stearns' Wine of Cod-Liver Oil is a meritorious preparation, and should become known to every practitioner, for its efficacy, palatability, and ease of assimilation. It is a valuable aid to physicians who enploy cod-liver oil in their practice. Messrs. F. Stearns & Co. will be pleased to forward a copy of treatise to any physician who will apply for it.
