INTRAVESICAL IRRIGATION FOR GONORRHOEA. Goldberg shows irrigation to be positively curative within one or two weeks in 90% of all cases presented. Complicated, unclean, and expensive appliances have heretofore prevented the adoption of this treatment by the profession. We now offer an Intravesical Irrigator manufactured and perfected by us after the ideas of Dr. Ferdinand C. Valentine, which so greatly simplifies this method as to render it at once most practical and desirable. It is a simple, cleanly, and highly effective apparatus. The irrigation treatment does away with all nauseous doses. It has the unqualified endorsement of the most eminent specialists in genito-urinary diseases. Price of stationary apparatus, $5.00; with adjustable percolator slide, $6.50. Descriptive circular, with reprint of Dr. Valentine's original article in New York "Medical Record," June 5th, 1897, on this subject, mailed free on application. For the same reason that you allow no substitution in your prescriptions, accept none but our original perfected irrigator. F. ALFRED REICHARDT & CO., 27 BARCLAY STREET, NEW YORK, U. S. A. OLDEST WHOLESALE SURGICAL INSTRUMENT HOUSE IN AMERICA. ORIGINAL MANUFACTURERS OF THIS APPARATUS. Leucorrhea. Dr. A. Clemens, Bridgeport, Conn., says: I prescribed Aletris Cordial in an old case of leucorrhea when all astringent injections had failed, with success. Most Infants Fed Too often. Dr. W. L. Harris (Gaillord's Medical Jour.) says that the quantity of food and the time of feeding are almost as important as the quality of food. Most infants are fed too often; one meal has not time for digestion before another is forced upon it, and soon there are fermentation and indigestion, and we wonder why the food does not agree. It must also be borne in mind that an infant does not require the same quantity of fat in summer as in winter. The fat is not assimilated in very warm weather, and simply acts to disarrange digestion; so in the warm spring and summer months the milk should be given diluted. Sugar is a very important element of an infant's food; it remains at about a constant per cent in mother's milk, and should be kept at this in one formula for modified milk. Do not forget that it is as much a food as fat or proteids, and is not used simply to sweeten the milk. I once heard of a physician who said he had stopped using sugar in his milk for children, as he thought it fermented too easily, and that he was using glycerine to sweeten the milk. Milk alone should constitute an infant's food till it is about a year old, and during the early part of the second year in addition to milk, such simple articles as well-cooked oatmeal and dry stale bread may be given once or twice a day; later on, simple broth or soups, with grease taken off, and a soft-boiled egg may be given. Fruits, such as the juice of an orange, baked apples, or soft peaches in season may be allowed towards the end of the second year; but never, under any circumstances, should such articles as candy, cakes, and promiscuous fruits be allowed, for they are the primary cause of illnesses that cause the death of hundreds of infants every year. to report the best results. C. F. LUSSIER M. D. MONITOR, VA., March 30, 1897. I have used your Hypophos. in my practice for thirteen years with very gratifying results. Where such a remedy is indicated I advise the use of your valuable remedy. Too much can not be said for it. When a physician once gives it a fair trial he will continue to use it. W. A. RICHARDSON, M. D. GRAFTON, O., July 13, 1897. I have used your Syr. Hypophos. Comp. for the past eight years, and the longer I use it the more convinced I become of its efficacy. I have at present three adult patients with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis, on it. They present all the general and physical signs, but I have not been able as yet to find the tubercle bacillus; one case cerebral exhaustion, and a number of cases of exhausting diseases of children, all of which are doing well on your Syr. Hypophos. Comp. C. CAMPBELL, M. D. POUND, VA., July 2, 1897. The sample of McArthur's Syrup Hypophos. Lime and Soda Comp. which you sent me I gave to one of my patients in Kentucky, a consumptive. It was several days before I saw him again; he said it appeared to do him the most good of all other prescriptions I had given him. I saw myself that he was looking better than he had looked for several months. I advised him to be sure when ordering from the druggist, to be particular and specify "McArthur's," and not take any other make. I have also prescribed the same for two other patients of mine. J. ROBERTS, M. D. SAN FRANCISCO I frequently prescribe your phos. Comp. and do not know combination in cases that ha thrown into bad health by pn and its kindred affections. WM. T. MELL, ELLENBORO, W. VA., June 20 In the spring of 1896 I receive sized bottle of your Syr. Hy Lime and Soda Comp. I had under treatment at the time in good chance presented to try cacy of the syrup. I must say i of great value, and patient re This was a case of chronic in tion of the respiratory mucou brane in which all of the usual 1 had been used without avail. was all that was required in th I think it the best preparatio kind in existence, and I use Syrup of the Hypophosphites. O L. H. JONES, IRWIN, O., March Will say this in regard to Mc Syr. Hypophos. Lime and Sod. I used it in a case of a married fering from tubercular deposits of both lungs, this condition fol severe attack of typhoid fever say that I like your remedy ver and believe it a good remedy cases. In connection with it strychnia sulphate, one-sixtie very small doses of morphia su enough to quiet cough, and an inform you that my patient is to attend to the household wor feeling better, and is enjoyin health than for years past. I s tinue to use it. A. LINCOLN BURSON SAMPLE AND LITERATURE FREE. THE MCARTHUR HYPOPHOSPHITE CO., I In Writing to Advertisers, Mention Medical Brief. A Good Vaginal Injection. Dr. Chas. A. Hoff, Southern Ohio Hospital for the Insane, says: "Listerine has no equal as a general vaginal injection, being entirely safe, cooling, unirritating, healing, and uniformly successful in removing disagreeable and offensive odors. One to two ounces in a quart of warm water is generally sufficient for vaginal douche or injection."-Med. Rev. of Reviews. Kinks in Urine Examinations. There are several kinks in the examination of urine which are very useful. While the urine is in the specific gravity jar, insert a long pipette, open at the top. The urine will rise in it to the height of that in jar. Place your finger on the top, lift it out, and hold it about level, placing the smaller end against the inside surface of a test-tube in which about three-quarters of an inch of nitric acid has previously been poured. A little practice will enable you to float the urine on top of the acid in the most gentle manner. Nitric acid may be floated beneath the urine in the same gentle manner. If the test-tube is placed upon the top of the lower sash of a window, and at one end of it, the ring of albumin, when present, will be clear-cut. If the tube is held before a piece of black velvet, the coagulum will be brought out very distinctly. When testing urine for albumin, if you will have two tubes of urine, one of which is allowed to remain in its natural state, the changes following the processes of testing may be appreciated by comparison. If you place a rubber nipple over one end of a pipette, into which a pin is thrust, or a minute slit has been cut, the contents of the pipette of nitric acid will flow out very gently, or squeeze the bulb and the same result will follow.-Med. Examiner. The Best Preparation. Dr. R. H. Cooper, Salyersville, Ky., says: Peacock's Bromides is the nicest and most efficacious preparation of the bromides that I have ever used. CACTINA * PILLETS. INDICATED IN ABNORMAL HEART ACTION. Given with Antipyretics TO PREVENT Cardiac Depression. Specially indicated for the cardiac nervousness caused by the use of alcohol, coffee, tea or tobacco. Each Pillet represents one one-hundredth of a grain of Cactinathe active proximate principle of Cactus Mexicana. DOSE.-One Pillet every hour, or less often, as indicated. SULTAN DRUG COMPANY, ST. LOUIS AND LONDON. Artificial Arms and Legs PATENTS OF 1895. MARKS' Improved Rubber Hands and Feet are Natural in Action, It is not unusual to see a farmer working in the fields with an artificial leg, or an engineer, conductor, brakeman, carpenter, mason, miner, in fact, men of every vocation, wearing one or two artificial legs, of MARKS' Patent, performing as much as men in possession of all their natural members, and experiencing little or no inconvenience. Over 19,000 in use, scattered in all parts of the world. Eminent surgeons and competent judges commend the Rubber Foot and Hand for their many advantages. At the WORLD'S COLUMBIAN EXPOSITION they received the highest award. They are indorsed and purchased by the United States and foreign Governments. A treatise containing 544 pages, with 800 illustrations, sent FREE; also a formula for taking Measurements by which limbs can be made and sent to all parts of the world, with fit guaranteed. Address, ESTABLISHED 45 YEARS. A. A. MARKS, 701 BROADWAY, NEW YORK CITY. OUT OF SORTS. IF your dyspeptic patient is "out of sorts" with loss of appetite, give him two or more teaspoonfuls of SENG before each meal-an appetite will soon succeed his heretofore indifference to food. DR. McMUNN'S ELIXIR OF OPIUM An Invaluable Discovery in the Preparation of Opium. It contains all the valuable medicinal properties of Opium in natural combination, to the exclusion of all its noxious, deleterious, useless principles upon which its bad effects depend. It possesses all the sedative, anodyne and antispasmodic powers of Opium: To produce sleep and composure; to relieve pain and irritation, nervous excitement and morbid irritability of body and mind; to allay convulsive and spasmodic actions, etc.; and being purified from all the noxious and deleterious elements, its operation is attended by no sickness of the stomach, no vomiting, no costiveness, no headache, nor any derangement of the constitution or general health. Hence its high superiority over Laudanum, Paregorin Black Drop, Denarcotized Laudanum, and every other Opiate preparation. CAUTION. On account of its large sale, spurious articles are offered in bulk. The genuine is sold only in vials of about seven drachms, with yellow wrappers and signature of Jno. B. McMunn. E. FERRETT, Agent, 372 Pearl Street, New York. |
