Iodoform, therapeutically, is alterative, nervine, sorbefacient, anti periodic and anæsthetic. As an alterative it acts with more rapidity than other medicines of that class, in doses of one, two, or three grains, repeated thrice daily. As a nervine it is prompt and efficient; while it gives nervous strength, it calms speedily the most severe pains. Its sorbefacient properties are manifested with some degree of slowness. Five to seven grains, given in broken doses in rapid succession, produce a powerful anti periodic effect. Its anæsthetic properties are of local significance. It is rapidly absorbed into the blood. Accumulative effects have not been observed. Iodoform is destitute of any local irritant action and has that advantage over all other iodic remedies. It may be administered, with reasonable expectation of success, in the following diseases: NEURALGIA of every description, chronic rheumatism, consumption, SCROFULA, ophthalmia, chronic ulcerations and skin diseases, syphilis and certain affections of the neck of the bladder and prostate gland, and whenever a powerful ALTERATIVE agent is needed.

It is frequently a matter of complaint with physicians that, in repeating prescriptions containing Fluid Extracts, the resulting mixtures are unlike, both in appearance and effect. In such cases the blame is commonly thrown on the Dispenser. The difficulty usually originates in the dispensing of Fluid Extracts of several manufacturers instead of adhering to those of the same maker. Many Physicians and Druggists are dispensing SHUTTLEWORTH'S FLUID EXTRACTS Exclusively on the ground that they always find them of uniform appearance, strength and quality. In preparing these extracts QUALITY is made the prime consideration. The first essential is GOOD MATERIAL, and to secure this the greatest care is taken in the SELECTION OF DRUGS. None are used but those that are first-class, sound and fresh. Physicians can depend upon the reliability of any preparation bearing the name of E. B. SHUTTLEWORTH. Lists and samples sent to physicians on application. Sold by druggists generally. |
