NOTES ON RECENT PROGRESS IN GYNECOLOGY AND OBSTETRICS. By Geo. J. Engelmann, M. D., St. Louis. Reprint from Weekly Medical Review. VULVAR AND VAGINAL ENTEROCELE. By T. Gaillard Thomas, M. D., Surgeon to the New York State Woman's Hospital. Read before the New York Academy of Medicine. Reprint. The talented author of this brochure well says: Although these varieties of hernia have been known for at least a century, and more, it is curious to see how very generally they have been ignored in systematic treatises upon gynecology. And this is more remarkable since errors in diagnosis of them are very liable to occur, and when occurring, would put both practitioner and patient in a most deplorable position." Hence, the information contained in this pamphlet is exceedingly important and should be read by every practitioner who treats diseases of A NEW AND VALUABLE PRESCRIPTION BY W. R. HAYDEN, M.

Take a teaspoonful iu water three times a day before meals, and gradually increase to tablespoonful doses. CAUTION. "In making the fluid Extracts there is a great risk of getting a remedy less efficient than the original Indian decoction, because the manufacturer may use roots that have been kept too long, and lost some of their active principles; while the decoction used on the plantation was always made of fresh roots just gathered from the woods. In making the Fluid Extraets, we should therefore, be careful to have them made from the roots recently gathered."(Extract from British Med. Four.) REMARKS. THE WM. S. MERRELL CHEMICAL Co., of Cincinnati, offer the formula of DR. MCDADE, prepared in accordance with the principles so strenuously held by them for more than thirty years, viz: that the volatile elements of many plants are dissipated by the drying process, thereby injuring, if not wholly destroying, their medicinal properties. The use of fresh drugs in all cases is therefore a necessity, in order to secure reliable preparations. Please specify "DR. MCDADE'S Prescription " (Merrell) in pint bottles. GREEN DRUG FLUID EXTRACTS THE PERFECTION OF PHARMACEUTICAL SKILL. The Fluid Extracts of THE Wм. S. MERRELL CHEMICAL Co. may be properly termed positive Medicinal Agents.

Hydrastia, crystalizing in WHITE prismatic forms and insoluble in water. Xanthopuccina, or the unknown third alkaloid, of a dark yellow color, but which has never been carefully isolated and is unknown in commerce. The use of Fluid Hydras is is suggested in all affections of the mucous surfaces; correcting abnormal conditions characterized by profuse discharge of a tenacious mucous, subacute inflammation, erosions and superficial ulcerations.

CODMAN & SHURTLEFF, Makers and Importers of SUPERIOR SURGICAL INSTRUMENTS. 13 and 15 Tremont Street, BOSTON, MASS. BARRY'S CLINICAL THERMOMETER. This instrument embodies the following improvements (reference being had to the annexed cut): The tube is of a similar shape, through which construction it is not liable to roll, and breakage is prevented. Besides, being broad and flat, the lines and figures are made more prominent, and are readily seen, both when the instrument is held vertically, or when it lays flat on a table. It is a fact known to all responsible dealers, Thermometers that are made and finished new lose one degree of accuracy in one year. This is due to the natural contraction of glass before it assumes an absolutely homogeneous state. I will fully guarantee the quality of these Thermometers, as they are well seasoned before they are made up. Should you at any time desire this instrument (or any instrument of my manufacture) tested I will do this, if sent to me direct or through those from whom you received them. In either case I will forward information as to their varied condition. Your attention is especially called to the above cut; a. indicates the contracted part of the tube, and b an enlarged cross section thereof. The patent covering this instrument bears date Sept. 9, 1884, covering broadly all Clinical Thermometers having a flat back, a face semi-circular or nearly so, containing the graduations, etc., as therein described. NOTICE.—I caution the public to beware of imitations, whether such be offered in plain, colored or twisted glass. Please note if my name and date of patent be on each instrument. Price, $15.00 per dozen. On receipt of the money I will send, by mail, post-paid, one of the above Thermometers, securely packed, and enclosed in a neat rubber pocket case, as a sample, to any practicing physician, at wholesale rates, viz., $1.25. Your attention is also called to my STANDARD THERMOMETERS for Chemists, Incubators, and all other thermometrical instruments. Also my Ordinary Clinical Thermometers, VERY OLD, with Certificates of Correction from Yale College. A sample to any address for $2.00. 62 FULTON ST., N. Y.
