ELIXIR OF BEEF.

THIS ELIXIR OF BEEF should properly be regarded as a food. It contains twenty-five per cent of a concentrated extract, prepared without the aid of heat, which is entirely free from insoluble matter, and contains upwards of twelve per cent of soluble albumen.

It is delicious to the taste, easily digested and assimilated, so that the most delicate invalid or dyspeptic can relish and retain it.

It is especially valuable in all cases of indigestion, and in complicated cases of dyspepsia; also for nervous debility, as a food for consumptives, and for all depleted conditions of the system arising from mal-nutrition or mal-assimilation, supplying a food that the diminished tissues can appropriate and thrive upon.

As a tonic, it is one of the best, containing as it does the nutrient properties of food in the most nourishing form.

THE

THE benefit of the Free Surgical Hospital for Women. supported by the Murdock Liquid Food Company, Boston, is being recognized in all parts of the United States. Ladies suffering for the want of an operation (known as capital case) are coming from all sections. Liquid Food is given before and after all operations. The quarterly report ending June 1, 1887, shows

2 from Prince Edward Island. 4 from New Hampshire.
97 from Massachusetts, from 20 towns and cities.

Any physician having a surgical case can have a bed assigned to them by informing us of the case.

In addition to our

150 FREE BEDS,

we have just completed a Septic Hospital of 12 Free Beds, all for Surgical Cases.

The Surgical Staff at Murdock's Free Hospital for Women are in daily attendance, except Saturdays, to examine patients and assign beds.

EVERY BED FREE.

Cases have been built up by the use of our Liquid Food for 30 to 60 days so that the wound healed without the aid of an operation. We also have cases where life has been sustained by its aid alone for several days, When not retained by the stomach, injections can be given with success,

Liquid Food is adapted for all ages, in health or disease, as it will make, by the use of one tablespoonful four times daily for an adult, eight per cent new blood weekly. It is recommended by the Medical Profession as the ONLY RAW FOOD KNOWN, free from insoluble matter, drugs, minerals, salts, or acids, and carries the blood corpuscles.

If a baby does not thrive, never change its food, but add five or more drops at each feeding, and its lost or needed vitality will be developed in thirty days.

Our Free Home for Homeless Boys contains 50 beds, and is located at 11 to 21 Causeway Street. When any of the boys suffer from Scrofula, Eczema, or other skin diseases, they recover quickly by the use of cur Liquid Food.

We use in our Hospital 200 large bottles of every lot made. This gives a guaranty of sweetness of every botue sold, and is not given by any manufacturer of any other preparation in the world.

Not all the works of Hering, Lippe and Allen have done so much as this Materia Medica of Hempel's to popularize homeopathy, and to inculcate a spirit of catholicity among the profession, never forgetting that science is the hand-maiden of medicine and pathology the foundation-stone of therapeutics. But what makes this work useful as a daily companion is the great abundance of clinical cases found under nearly every remedy, well chosen and illustrating the special curative field of each special drug. -Prof. Philo G. Valentine.

BY

HEMPEL AND ARNDT'S MATERIA MEDICA AND

THERAPEUTICS.

Y Charles J. Hempel, M.D., formerly Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics in the Homœopathic Medical College of Pennsylvania. Revised by the author. Greatly enlarged by the addition of many new and valuable remedies, etc., by H. R. Arndt, M.D., Professor of Materia Medica and Therapeutics in the Homœopathic Medical College of the University of Michigan. Third edition.

THE pronounced success of Hempel and Arndt's Materia Medica and Therapeutics is undoubtedly due to the earnest and intelligent advocacy of the central truth of homœopathy, freed from all side issues and subordinate matter. No compromise of the law of cure will be found in its pages, and the absolute necessity of a careful analysis of all the symptoms of a case, in the selection of a remedy, is constantly taught. In all minor matters the authors have claimed the right to assert their individuality and to teach what they believe to be true; but they have carefully remembered that, as authors, they are also recorders of the experience of the profession at large, and when such experience has been found at varience with their own convictions, they have sacrificed their own views altogether or have been satis fied to state both sides plainly and let the reader judge for himself. The authors do not underestimate the value of symptomatology, nor teach that it is possible to be come a thorough student of materia medica without an intimate acquaintance with symptomatology, neither do they believe that any one work can embody all there is known of drugs and drug action. Hence they have aimed to give clear and strong outlines of the action of each drug, both pathogenetic and curative, by the introduction of cases of poisoning and by brief analyses of reliable provings, adding to these the characteristic symptoms, leaving the student to derive the finer shadings of the drug-picture from the very complete works of Allen, Hering, and others. It is hoped that these pictures of drug-action have the merit of sufficient brevity not to weary the reader and of sufficient clearness to enable the student to grasp the rationale of drug action and to make intelligent use of the remedy in the sick-room. The arrangement of the work is simple and the remedies appear in alphabetical order, the lecture style is used because it brings the authors in closer contact with the reader. Clinical cases, gleaned from journals and from private sources, selected without reference to the question of dose, and printed in small type, are scattered freely throughout the whole work. No pains were spared to make the work as complete and practical as possible and to crowd into it a larger amount of information than can be found in any similar work of our school.

Volume i. contains seven hundred and ninety-six pages, with copious clinical and general index; volume ii. contains nine hundred and twelve pages, also with clinical and general index; large 8vo.

Price per volume, bound in cloth, $5.50; sheep, $6.50; half morocco, marble edges, beveled boards, leather corners, very handsome and durable, $7.00. Address the publishers, W. A. Chatterton & Co., 58 State Street, Chicago.

We find the third edition vastly superior to its predecessor.-N. E. Med. Gazette.

LONDONDERRY LITHIA.

BEAR THIS IN MIND:

1. Lithium is the only true solvent of the uric acid crystal.

2. Uric Acid is the prime factor in all cases of gout, rheumatism, gravel, Bright's Disease, and many other renal and vesical disorders.

3. The Lithium of commerce is never reliable, nor does it give the same results as that contained in natural waters.

4. If you are to use a Lithia Water, it is reasonable to expect you to use the one containing the largest amount per imperial gallon.

5. We are prepared to establish our claim to the best Lithia Water in use.

The discovery up in New Hampshire of a natural Lithia spring, which contains enough of that valuable solvent of uric acid to make it worthy the attention of the profession, is hailed with pleasure by all who have been obliged to use waters containing only insignificant quantities. We know from experience, that the Londonderry Lithia is all that it is claimed to be. It is extensively prescribed by leading physicians everywhere, and is so uniform in its results, that it has come to be regarded as a necessary part of the physician's armamentarium.
