For instance, one Parvule every hour, two every two hours, or three every three hours, and so on, for adults. For children, one three times a day is the minimum dose.

CLINICAL TEACHING.--The Toronto General Hospital has a very large number of patients in the wards, who are visited daily by the medical officers in attendance. The attendance of out-door patients is also very large, and thus abundant opportunities are enjoyed by students for acquiring a familiar knowledge of Practical Medicine and Surgery, including not merely major operations, but minor Surgery of every kind, ordinary Medical Practice, the treatment of Veneral Diseases and Skin Diseases, and the Diseases of Women and Children. The Burnside Lying-in Hospital, amalgamated with the Toronto General Hospital, has recently had its staff largely increased, and will afford special and valuable facilitios for the study of Practical Midwifery. The large new building, close to the Hospital and School, will be very convenient for students attending its practice. The Mercer Eye and Ear Infirmary is also amalgamated with the Toronto General Hospital, and affords special facilities for students in this department. Daily clinical instruction in the spacious wards and theatre of the Hospital will be given by members of the Hospital Staff on all interesting cases, Medical and Surgical. Arrangements have also been made for the delivery of daily clinics, out-door, in-door and bedside in the Hospital, by the respective professors in medicine and surgery of both schools. FEES FOR THE COURSE.-The Fee for Anatomy, Surgery, Practice of Medicine, Obstetrics, Materia Medica, Physiology, General Chemistry, Clinical Medicine and Clinical Surgery, $12 each. Practical Anatomy, Practical Chemistry, Normal Histology and Pathological Histology, $8 each. Medical Jurisprudence, $6; Botany and Sanitary Science, $5 each; Registration Fee (payable once only), $5. Students are free in all the regular branches after having paid for two full courses. Surgical Appliances is an optional branch, fee $5. Full information respecting Lectures, Fees, Gold and Silver Medals, Scholarships, Certificates of Honor, Gradu ation, Diplomas, Fellowship, etc., will be given in the Annual Announcement. W. B. GEIKIE, M.D., Dean, 52 Maitland Street. Wyeth's Compressed Triturated Drugs. * Safer, Pleasanter, and more Efficient and Convenient Medication for Infants, the Fastidious, and Idiosyncratic. An Innovation. Brunton points out that the introduction of the method of giving small doses at frequent intervals has "the very great advantage that the desired effect can be produced with greater certainty and with less risk of an overdose being taken." What are Compressed Triturates ? The Compressed Triturates are "intimate mixtures of substances with sugar of milk." In no way are they allied to the sugar of milk of globules or pellets, dependent so largely upon chance for the absorption of the medicaments poured down the side of the bottle. The following directions are those given in the Pharmacopoeia, U.S., for the preparation of Triturates: "Take of the substance ten parts, sugar of milk in moderately fine powder ninety parts, to make one hundred parts; weigh the substance and the sugar of milk separately; then place the substance, previously reduced if necessary to a moderately fine powder, into a mortar, add about an equal bulk of sugar of milk, mix well by means of a spatula and triturate them thoroughly together. Add fresh portions of the sugar of milk from time to time, until the whole is added, and continue the trituration until the substance is intimately mixed with the sugar of milk and finely comminuted. Resume of Advantages. 1. The Compressed Triturates are made with the pure drug and sugar of milk. 2. The process of trituration, employed so finely, subdivides and separates the mass of medicament, that this is said to be more active than would the same quantity given in the ordinary way. 3. They contain each a very small dose, so that by giving one at a time-they may be repeated often-the taste of the drug is hardly, if at all, perceived. 4. Being made with sugar of milk, one of them (if not taken whole) added to a little milk or other fluid is at once "broken up" and distributed throughout the liquid. 5. Pulverulent substances, like calomel, are by this means especially distributed well, and for the moment suspended throughout the fluid. 6. Being very small, and not globular, they are easy to swallow. 7. They do not harden and become insoluble with time, nor do they crumble like pills. 8. They afford the advantages derivable from the administration of small doses repeated often, which are: 1. That if the drug be given in but little liquid, the absorbent power of the mucous membrane of the mouth and gullet are called repeatedly into requisition. 2. That if given on an empty stomach (as is generally desirable) unpleasant symptoms are avoided. 3. In case of idiosyncrasy, the doses can be stopped before large amounts have been given. 4. Administered in this way drugs are better tolerated than is otherwise the case. 9. A greater effect is alleged to be attainable by this method from a small quantity of medicine than is possible by the usual plan. 10. In some cases Compressed Triturates are repeated as often as every five or ten minutes, and it is surprising how soon a very small dose of medicine repeated often amounts to a very large quantity. 11. If taken whole, one of the Compressed Triturates dissolves and falls to pieces in the stomach at once, and is never voided unchanged. 12. They afford accuracy of dose, without the trouble and annoyance of weighing or measuring. 13. They can be taken at any time and in any place, even when the patient is following his ordinary avocation. 14. They are only a few lines in thickness and about one-fourth the circumference of a lead pencil. Waistcoat Leather Pocket Cases, containing ten tubes of 25 Triturates each (any selection), supplied at $1.25. May be obtained of all wholesale houses. Samples of Triturates free to medical men. In all orders specify WYETH's and avoid disappointment. Davis & Lawrence, Montreal, Sole Agents for Canada. |
