WAYNE'S DIURETIC ELIXIR, composed of buchu, juniper, potas, acetas, etc., is a most excellent preparation, and will be found peculiarly valuable in cases of acute and chronic cystitis, urinary deposits and sediments, calculous troubles, and in chronic Bright's disease. It seems to more satisfactorily allay irritation of the genito-urinary organs than any remedy we have tried, and will prove to others, as it has to us, most satisfactory in all organic and functional diseases of the genito-urinary system.

GELATIN CAPSULES.-H. Planten & Sons, 224 William Street, New York, have attained a world-wide fame in these important

aids to the administration of naueous drugs and medicines. Whenever you call for and get Planten's Capsules you can rely upon baving the best. In this connexion I desire to state that during the past year I have used, with the most satisfactory results, their Horse Capsules No. 12, as a means of introducing both. medicines and food into the rectum, in cases where the human stomach would tolerate nothing else. In one case it was impor-. tant that my patient should have full doses of quinine-two No. 12 capsules were charged with 12 grains each, and after oiling slightly, one was introduced into the rectum at 6 p. m., and the other five hours later. The result, full cinchonism protracted through ensuing twenty-four hours. In another case, a female with gastric ulcer, nutrition was maintained for more than two weeks by these capsules filled with Leibig's Beef Extract, and other solid beef extracts of nutritions character, introduced into the rectum every six hours. I have found it far more practicable and satisfactory than nutritious enemas.

We have had in the weekly use in our office, for more than six years past, one of their eighteen-cell batteries. It is always ready, and has given the utmost satisfaction.

ANTIKAMNIA.-Much has been written about this new thera

peutical favorite in the past year. A very distinguished chemist. has stated that it is composed of two preparations, the cost of both combined being about one dollar a pound, and it is sold at one dollar an ounce. Well, so be it. I have found that with an ounce I can relieve forty-eight cases of severe headache-a little over two cents for each case. When a man will spend one

or more dollars to produce a headache, he certainly can spend two and one-fourth cents to get rid of it. And, by the way, it has proven in my hands a most excellent remedy for relieving the muscular and other pains incidental to la grippe. For history and literature, address the Antikamnia Chemical Co., St. Louis, Mo.
