people of the "City of the Straits" as we do, we know that these assurances will be more than fulfilled. Wealth, beauty and culture will combine to make it an occasion long to be remembered. We heartily join the secretary, Dr. Frank C. Woodburn, in saying that "there is no more delightful season in which to visit the picturesque city of Detroit than the late summer. Located within a short distance are many beautiful river and lake resorts, making it possible to arrange some very pleasant side trips.

Lay aside your professional burdens during the first week in September, go, with your family, to Detroit, enjoy the intellectual feast during each day, and in the evening hours partake of the bountiful hospitality which the profession and good citizens of the city will extend to you."

A permanent National organization of various State Medical Examining and Licensing Boards was effected during the recent meeting of the American Medical Association at Baltimore, Md.

THE tenth volume of the exceedingly popular publication, the Texas Medical Journal, closes with the June issue. After announcing the policy for the future of the "Red Back," the editors say: "The Texas star is in the ascendant, the decks are cleared for action, and now we will go in to win on the eleventh round." That our energetic friends, Drs. Daniel & Hudson, will be in at the "finish" we are quite confident. Prosit! to the continued prosperity of the always readable Texas Medical.

REWS AND ROTIGES.

Kaline Compound Pill. J. S. Nowlin, M.D., of Shelbyville, Tenn., formerly Professor of Gynecology, Medical Department University of Tennessee, says: We are often reminded that the old things are the best things. This is true in medicine as elsewhere. More than ten years ago I first used the Compound Kaline Pill in different types of fever. I was much pleased with it, both in the strictly malarial types and also in the continued form. It is a pleasant medicine, and is acceptable to most patients, whether children or adults. An investigation of the formula will show that the Kaline Pill is made of four old medicines long ago recognized in our pharma

copoeia. The century plant, both of America and Europe, was largely used and relied on as a curative remedy in all the types of malarial fever. The euonymin atropurpureus is another old American remedy. It is a hydragogue, cathartic, diuretic and anti-periodic. The cepa and lupulin are familiar to every household as having a specific effect on the digestive and nervous systems. This is a compound of the active principles of these medicines, and of such happy combination as to secure the modified and increased benefit of all. It has the power to control the nervous system, while it is at the same time depurative and eliminative, thus governing the fever and removing the effete accumulations resulting from it. I have found it would control concomitant constipation or diarrhoea alike by its depurative influence. In the treatment of any form of fever with this combination I am inclined to rely on it alone to control all the symptoms. If persistently used it will seldom need an adjuvant. If, however, the tongue is coated, or I see other indications for an occasional dose of calomel, I use it. From five to ten of the pills should be given within ten hours, and repeated each day. For children. the pill can be dissolved in hot water, and, so suspended, is easily taken. Dr. Deering J. Roberts relies upon it with confidence in all fevers of continued type which are of anomalous character. In this my experience fully concurs. To my mind it is among the most rational remedies we have for the cure of fever in any form. It not only alleviates the symptoms, if persistently used, but eliminates the poisonous effete matter found resulting from the fever. All forms run their course and are self-limited, and if the system can be kept disinfected (if I may be permitted to use that much abused word) of this poisonous residue, without exhausting the strength till this self-limitation occurs, then the patient will get well. The Kaline Pill looks in this particular direction. Address inquiries and write for pamphlets on the subject to J. P. Watkins & Co., sole manufacturers, Nashville, Tenn. Can be procured from all wholsale druggists.-Southern Practitioner.

Alma Sanitarium. Alma is a natural sanitarium, being favorably known for its remarkably healthful climate. Its summers are delightfully cool, like those of the Red River of the North, and its winters the temperature of Northern Kentucky, Southern Indiana and Illinois. The air is delightfully pure, free from malaria, and evenly tempered by waterwarmed and water-cooled breezes from the great lakes, West and East. The Institution, as a medical entity, occupies a separate field from that of the general practitioner or specialist. The Company desires to place the equipment and service of the Institution at the disposal of the profession for such further scientific treatment as may be impracticable to give in private practice to those patients who have run the gauntlet of remedies or have exhausted the resources of the too busy practitioner. The Medical Superintendent desires every practitioner to know that his diagnosis and opinion will be honored and his interests conserved. He desires the professional relations, favors and confidence to be cordial and reciprocal. See advertisement.

Although the population of England is ten millions less than that of France, there were 40,000 more children born in England in 1893 than in France, or 914,642 against 874,675. No wonder the French people are offering inducements to people who have large families, such as reduction of taxes, etc.

The business department of the MONTHLY can, from personal observation of its use, testify to the excellence of Pabst Malt Extract as a tonic for the nervous system. Having tried a few bottles with a child of 13 years, suffering from nervous trouble and debility, resulting from over-ambition and close attention to study, in wine-glass doses three times daily, at meals, the improvement was good from the start, and now, after using a dozen or so bottles, and no other assistant, the child is quite well and sleeps naturally. Digestion, in the beginning, bad, with but little appetite; now good, and hearty meals are taken with relish and great benefit.

A few months ago I was suffering from hepatic torpor, and I am happy to say that after taking two bottles of Peacock's Chionia I feel greatly relieved, and that Chionia has done me more good than any other preparation I have ever used. In hepatic disorders I shall always give it preference to other remedies, knowing its therapeutic value. T. Ed. DePondrom, Chicago, Ill.

Torpid Stomach. If the stomach of your patient is torpid and will not secrete enough gastric juice to digest his food, then give him two or more fluid drachms of Seng before each meal. Seng is the only remedy that will normally increase the flow of the digestive fluids.

Robert B. McCall, M.D., Med. Col. of Ohio, now of Hamersville, O., writes regarding Antikamnia in disturbances of innervation: I have proved to my satisfaction the certain value of Antikamnia as a promoter of parturition, whether typical, delayed or complicated, and its effectiveness in controlling the vomiting of pregnancy. In cases marked by unusual suffering in second stage, nagging pains, frequent or otherwise, accompanied by nervous rigors and despondency, one or two doses, three to five grains each, promptly changes all this. If there is a "sleepy uterus" Antikamnia and quinine awake every energy, muscular and nervous, and push labor to an early safe conclusion. Indeed, in any case of labor small doses aid nature and shorten the process. A week ago in an obstinate case of vomiting in pregnancy, the first dose of Antikamnia was given, and nervous excitement, mental worry and gastric intolerance rapidly yielded. This was a typical case, and the result is clearly attributable to your preparation.
