Gentlemen:-Having used "Hagee's Cordial of Cod Liver Oil" in a number of cases marked by nutritive derangements, it affords me pleasure to report in every instance, favorable results. It combines two most desirable virtues, palatability and efficiency. It will become a prominent factor in the treatment of all those diseases which originate in faulty nutrition. Very truly,

Dr. Granville L. Fox, Slate Springs, Miss., says: I have used Papine in two cases of typhoid fever. In all my practice of four years I have never yet found any preparation or combination that acted so admirably as an anodyne. Sometimes I combine it with Bromidia and get the best of results. I expect to keep it on hand from now on as I do not know of anything that would exactly replace it in the experience I have had with it.

"SWEET CHARITY."

In the Artists' exhibition of 1893 at the New York Academy of Design, there was exhibited an oil-painting by J. S. G. Ferris, entitled "Sweet Charity." Its richness of coloring commanded instant attention, while the lesson it taught was so impressive that one naturally returned to it for a second view.

Its subject is a young lady of colonial times who is on an errand to one of the poorer families of the town. She has a sensible, charming face, which expresses with remarkable fidelity the sentiment of her errand. There is not a home that this charming picture will not ornament. It must be seen to be appreciated.

"Sweet Charity" was purchased by the Publishers of The Youth's Companion and has been reproduced in colors in large size, 14 1-2x21.

It will be sent to all new subscribers to The Youth's Companion who send $1.75 for a year's subscription, and the paper will also be sent Free from the time the subscription is received to January, 1894, and for a full year from that date, to January, 1895. This offer includes the Double Souvenir

Numbers published at Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. Address, THE YOUTH'S COMPANION, Boston, Mass.

A teaspoonful of Codliver Glycerine represents two tablespoonfuls of best Norwegian cod liver oil, or from four to six tablespoonfuls of any of the Emulsions. Read ad front cover.

Many physicians are recommending the use of Horlick's Malted Milk as a table drink in place of tea, coffee, cocoa, etc. The evil effects of long continued use of tea or coffee are well known but the difficulty has been to provide a pleasant and satisfactory substitute. Malted Milk is a perfect soluble combination of pure cows milk and an extract of malted grain and when served either hot or iced it makes one of the most pleasant, refreshing, and nutrious drinks imaginable, little, if any more expensive than the ordinary drinks, and far more healthy and nutritous for continued use. Does not stimulate but aids digestion. Prepared by simply adding water. Address the Malted Milk Co., Racine, Wis. for samples.

STEARNS' CALENDAR FOR 1894.

The Christmas greetings which Frederick Stearns & Co., of Detroit, Mich., are sending to their customers, is of a character which far exceeds the many elegant expressions of good wishes which this firm sent out in former years, and it is of exceptional interest on account of the introduction of a new feature in pictorial art, one to which much scientific research and effort have been directed during late years-that of photography in original colors. Stearns' calendar for 1894 is, we believe, the first example of the application of this new process which has been offered the public, and as such it possesses an interest aside from its artistic value. As regards the latter, however, a happy selection has been made in the reproduction of "The Rivals," by F. P. Michetti, a subject in which is included the inimitable coloring which nature gives to a pleasing landscape with that of two gaily costumed peasant girls whose graceful attitudes suggest the title of the picture. The details which attend the process are referred to at length in a small folder which accompanies the calendar. With the exception of the making of the plates, all the work upon the calendar was done in the press room and bindery of the firm, and the result is certainly one in which they can take considerable pride. All regular customers of the

firm will receive a copy of this elegant calendar. The feature of expense in the production of such work being a considerable one, the supply is, therefore, necessarily limited, and duplicates can only be furnished upon receipt of 25 cents to cover actual cost of production, postage and packing. -Pharm.

Gentlemen:-The samples of your cordial of cod liver oil compound (Hagee) left with me were placed among patients who were in need of a good reconstructive nerve and muscle builder, and where there was also a demand for more fat on the part of the patients. In every instance the product was found agreeable to the palate, acceptable to the stomach and occasioning no discomfort or eructation or anything suggestive of indigestion. As an evidence that assimilation was good following it and that the hydro-carbon was appropriated, in every case there was an increase of weight. One patient in particular, a young and rapidly growing girl, was, within a few weeks, materially improved in health and had gained over ten pounds of flesh. A considerable more flesh was gained than the cod liver oil represented by weight taken; thus showing that the main point is to start the reconstruction of tissues by the proper remedy, and then all other food is more rapidly appropriated.

I am charmed with the result so far, and am convinced that you have a product that the medical profession may safely accept and apply to their patients.

Very truly yours,

I. N. LOVE, M. D., Professor of Clinical Medicine Diseases of Children and Hygiene, Marion Sims College of Medicine.

PERTURBED NERVOUS FORCES-AN UNSURPASSED COMPOSER AND PAIN-RELIEVER.-The season of pneumonia, typhoid, bronchitis, also the recurring epidemic of influenza, while not so malignant as its predecessor, la grippe, still makes apropos an extract from The Medical Summary. It says, in speaking of the action of antikamnia:

"This drug has a well-earned character as an analgesic. It is one of the few among the many claimants for favor that have successfully stood the test of experience. In a case of acute poly-articular rheumatism prominently affecting both knees, where there was great swelling and exquisite tenderness of the articulations, two ten-grain doses at an interval of an hour procured almost complete relief, followed by several hours of

restful sleep. This was the more remarkable as after one or two more doses there was comparatively little pain experienced at the close of the attack. For the relief of nervous headache, hemicrania, menstrual neuroses and neuralgias in general, it cannot be over-praised. In the prevailing epidemic of la grippe its usefulness as a pain-reliever and composer of the perturbed nervous forces is unsurpassed. It has become indispensable, and doubtless there is not a physician acquainted with its decisive action who could be induced to dispense with it. Five or ten grains as a commencing dose, then two, three or five grains every three or five hours, will relieve the severest cases, in a few hours causing the splitting cephalalgia, lumbar and general muscular pains and nervous disquietude to vanish. On the whole it abates the fever and subdues the whole assemblage of perturbed activities that distinguish la grippe as no other agent, or combination of agents, has ever done, producing not a single unpleasant symptom and leaving no sequelæ. Quinine checks ague, digitalis energizes the drooping heart, ergot promotes uterine coutraction, but their action is no more nearly specific than is that of antikamnia in its sphere of usefulness." In line with and supplementary to the foregoing, Hugo Engel, A. M., M. D., late Lecturer on Electro-Therapeutics Jefferson Medical College, Professor of Nervous Diseases and Clinical Medicine MedChir. College, and Consultant in Nervous Diseases at St. Joseph's Hospital, Philadelphia, says: "The remedy has become a favorite with many members of the profession. It is very reliable in all kinds of pain, and as quickly acting as a hypodermic injection of morphia. It is used only internally. To stop pain five grains are administered at once; three minutes later the same dose is repeated, and, if necessary, a third dose given three minutes after the second. If ten minutes after the third dose the remedy has had a decided effect, but a little of the pain be remaining, a fourth dose of gr. v may then be administered. In 92 per cent of all cases it immediately stops the pain.
