The ascertained value of Hydrangea in Calculous Complaints and Abnormal Conditions of the Kidneys through the earlier reports of Drs.

Firmly recognizing the fact that the success of the medical practitioner and the surgeon depends in no small degree upon the integrity of the remedial agents and appliances which they employ, we have persistently adhered to the policy in making, in all our products, But One Quality, and that The Best. FRAUDS IN BELLADONNA PLASTERS. We have in past years shown by the analyses of eminent chemists that fraudulent plasters were being palmed off upon physicians and their patients by dishonest manufacturers, through ignorant or unscrupulous druggists, and we had hoped that the exposure would lead to a general observance of pharmacopoeal standards. But our latest analysis, made from fresh goods bought in open market by the analysts themselves, prove that the fraud continues and confirms our opinion that honest goods should be so marked that substitution is impossible. Analyses previously made by Prof. Doremus and Dr. Battershall, and lately by Mr. Wm. Rupp, F. C. S., at their laboratories in this city, and by S. W. Williams at the laboratory of the College of Pharmacy, show that our Belladonna plasters contain from fifty to fifteen hundred per cent more alkaloid than those of other makers. The difficulties in the way of making india rubber combinations conform to the medicinal standards of the Pharmacopoeia, which novices acknowledge when they make a partial confession of the inferiority of their goods, and their inability (?) to incorporate the proper equivalents, were years ago overcome by us, as they might be overcome by every manufacturer whose principles will not permit him to make non-officinal goods, and our plasters may be depended upon to afford the full and prompt therapeutic effect contemplated by the officinal formula and expected by physicians. That the same effect can not be expected from the inert preparations put upon the market by other makers is fully proven by the analyses alluded to, and pharmacists will therefore recognize the importance of observing that no Belladonna plasters except those bearing the letters 8. & J. in squares on the back, are dispensed over their counters or furnished to physicians for use in their practice. Is Absorbency a Pre-Requisite of Absorbent Cotton? Recent tests of several foreign and domestic makes of Absorbent Cotton and Lint offered on the market, lead us to urge physicians to assure themselves as to the absorbeney of these materials before using them. This is easily done by dropping a bit of the cotton or lint into a glass of water and noting the time required for it to absorb enough of the fluid to sink to the bottom. To make cotton or lint and gauze absorbent to a maximum degree and at the same time entirely neutral, involves an outlay of labor and expense which will be found never to have been incurred in most of the dozen or more brands on the market, but one of which approaches ours in absorbency. We can not attempt to compete in price with inferior goods, which represent no such outlay as is expended in the preparation of ours. We therefore urge practitioners and dispensers to test Absorbent Cotton and Lint for absorbency and freedom from chemicals before buying or using, and are confident that by so doing they will substantiate the results of our own tests, which prove the superiority of our products. Extreme absorbency is not alone essential in the mechanical action of the Cotton or Lint in surgical or gynecological cases, but to its proper medication. Comparative tests will show that our Cotton. Lint and Gauze treated with Corrosive Sublimate. Hydronaphthol, Carbolic Acid, Salicylic Acid, Thymol. etc., retain a fuller percentage of the antiseptic than can be held by vehicles of a lower degree of absorbency. The importance of this fact needs no emphasis to surgeons who depend upon these dressings for success in antiseptic treatment. HYDRONAPHTHOL. THE NEW ANTISEPTIC, DISINFECTANT AND PRESERVATIVE. Non-Poisonous, Non-Corrosive, Odorless and Non-Irritating. SEABURY & JOHNSON are now prepared to supply this important new antiseptic, which has already been brought to the attention of the Medical Profession by the reports of Drs. Geo. R. Fowler, Surgeon to St. Mary's Hospital, Brooklyn, (see New York Medical Journal, October 14, 1885, et seq.), and R. J. Levis, Surgeon to Penna. Hospital and Jefferson Medical College, Philadelphia. Hydronaphthol is a recently perfected derivative of coal-tar, produced by a distinct process and differing essentially from all other antiseptic products from the same source, although belonging to the phenol series. Hydronaphthol is non-poisonous, non-corrosive, odorless, and in solutions up to more than three times above its antiseptic limit, non-irritant. As an antiseptic Hydronaphthol is about one-fifth as powerful as the mercuric bi-chloride; twelve times as efficient as carbolic acid; thirty times as potent as salicylic acid; and six hundred times as strong as alcohol. Hydronaphthol is soluble in the proportion of 1 to 1100 parts of cold water, and is reliably antiseptic in strengths of 1 to 3,000 to 1 to 6,000, as is shown by the careful investigations of Dr. Fowler. Solutions of 1 to 10,000 prevent putrefactive decomposition. It has no odor to disguise that of putrefaction and is not decomposed or rendered inert by the products of putrefactive decomposition such as sulphureted hydrogen, ammonia, etc. Being non-corrosive it will not injure the polished surface and keen edge of cutting instruments, and is, therefore, as well as for its entire safety in use and freedom from odor, preferable to any of the antiseptics now employed in surgery. Hydronaphthol is a soft crystalline grayish powder, and in this form, or in the form of Hydronaphtholated absorbent gauze, cotton, lint or bandages, can now be procured through the drug trade. A reprint of Dr. Fowler's interesting and valuable report upon the new antiseptic will be forwarded to Physicians and Surgeons, upon application to SEABURY & JOHNSON, 21 Platt Street, New York, PROPRIETORS OF THE SEABURY PHARMACAL LABORATORIES.

THE LADY'S SYRINGE Having been introduced 4 years ago, is now the most popular of all Vaginal Syringes, especially in the treatment of LEUCORRHOEA, because, on account of its pump-suction action it removes all discharges of the parts more readily and thoroughly than can be done by any other Syringe; and secondly, because it enables the patient after cleansing the parts, to hold the medicated injection in close contact with every part of the expanded mucous membrane suffi. ciently long, to get the benefit of its therapeutic action, by simply compressing the bulb, and to finally withdraw it without spilling, by allowing the bulb to ex. pand itself.

DAWSON'S EXTERNAL ADJUSTABLE STEM UTERINE SUPPORTER, And Improved Abdominal Supporter, FOR MECHANICAL TREATMENT DEFORMITY APPARATUS Of Prolapsus, Retroversion, Anteversion and the Flexions. THIS SUPPORTER Fills a want long felt for an adjustable stem, and the prime feature of this is the external manipulation of the stem. In length it has one inch of extension after insertion, the canal being elongated by degrees at intervals, giving time for the liguments to contract, so when the womb reaches a normal position it will be permanent. When the Supporter is to be dis carded, contraction of the stem by Supporter applied, showing degrees is equally important. Mode of Manipulation. This principle of adjustment is possessed by no other supporter, patented June 25, 1878 The Internal portion is made of pure black hard Rubber, with a high degree of polish, and perfectly adapted to the form of the Cervix. For extreme Versions and Flexions I make a special large cup,with extended lip to reach high up under the fundos of the womb, open bottom, to relieve the os of pressure, for ulcer ation, enlargement, etc. My Silver Spring Supporter, the point of attachment to belt is so pliable as to permit the or gan to rise and fall with each respiration. The wire supporting frame is made of solid cofn Silver, stamped coin and warranted. It is attached to the stem by a hinge joint; under the base, which also forms an angular shoulder to prevent the cup from pressing back against the rectum. The Improved Abdominal Supporter consists of a broad Morocco Belt, with elastic straps attached to the lower front edge. By tightening these straps, a "lift up pressure is obtained You can readily see that this is a great improvement. My Reduced Prices to Physicians.
