STANDARD Assayed Fluid Extracts, REPRESENTING One Gramme of the Drug* of Assayed Standard Quality in Each Cubic Centimeter. This Special List of Assayed Fluid Extracts includes notably those which owe their activity mainly to the presence of an alkaloid or alkaloids , and can be standardized by assay to a definite percentage of this alkaloid. We also include in this list a few fluid extracts depending on the presence of a definite quantity of Resin as their active constituent. The assaying of these drugs is by no means a new feature with us , as we have for many years resorted to assays of the alkaloidal strength of the more important ones , at least , as one of the most reliable means of determining their quality in se- lecting the drugs, and thus securing efficacy and uniformity of strength in our Extracts. We omit such fluid extracts as of Rhubarb, Ergot, and of other drugs , the active properties of which are not known to reside in any special proximate principle or principles , and as an arbitrary standard , such as the determination of the per- centage of solid residuum obtained from the extract by evapo- ration, would not indicate the quality of the drug from which the fluid extract is made ; for instance, a very poor article of Rhubarb would furnish as much solid residuum as the finest quality of the drug. In the selection of these drugs, however, the well-known physical properties of a standard article as described in the Pharmacopoeia and other authorities on Materia Medica furnish equally good and reliable criterions to judge of their quality, and drugs selected with care and judgment in this respect cannot fail to produce efficacious and reliable extracts. As long experience and a thorough knowledge of our calling enable us to judge intelligently of the quality of drugs, and as we conscientiously use and have always used the most scrupu- lous care in the selection of drugs of standard quality for our preparations, as well as in every step in the manufacture of these preparations, we feel confident our Extracts cannot be excelled for efficacy and reliability, which fact is no doubt known to all who have tried them. 50 ASSAYED FLUID EXTRACTS. ACONITE ROOT. Standard, 0.75 alkaloid. 10 cc. of this Fluid Extract re- quire for complete precipitation of alkaloid 5.6 cc. of Mayer’s Solution, Normal 1-20.

Ipecacuanhae, 1-16 !'l 1 to 2 A combination introduced by us and found in practice to possess superior advantages over other similar formulae. The well-known mild action of Aloin on the lower portion of the intestinal canal, and its power of stimulating the hepatic functions (Rutherford & Vignal), is supplemented by the action of Ipecac as a stomachic tonic and by in- creasing tlje gastric secretions (Bartholow) ; the Belladonna GELATIN-COATED AND SUGAR-COATED PILLS. 89 acts specially upon the involuntary muscular fibres of the bowels, increasing peristalsis, diminishing the harshness and at the same time increasing the effectiveness of the laxative. The general tonic effect of Strychnine upon the stomach and bowels and its direct action upon the sympathetic make it a valuable addition in the permanent cure of habitual con- stipation and atonic dyspepsia. This brief statement of the physiological action of the in- gredients of these pills is amply borne out by practical experience. They have been found to act most kindly and effectively by thousands of practitioners. So remarkable and uniform has been the efficacy of these pills, that we feel assured that they will continue to sustain the high reputa- tion now established. They recommend themselves to the patient by their minute size and their tastelessness, being coated with gelatin or with pure sugar, while they are perfectly soluble. We guarantee the quality of the ingredients and their proper subdivision, and can safely recommend the Lapactic Pills as an efficient agent. Since we first called attention to our Lapactic Pills — some four years ago — publishing the composition of the same, a number of manufacturers have adopted the same formula and have furnished these pills under the same name. Should Physicians fail to obtain satis- factory results from Lapactic Pills not of our make (and we have received a large number of such com- plaints from physicians by letter), we shall be glad to furnish a sample of our Lapactic Pills on application. We feel confident that they will fully substantiate our claims. Please use the term “LAPACTIC PILLS, S. & D.’s,” when prescribing these pills. Dose One to two pills on going to bed. LAXATIVE. Dose.

Ill GEANULAE EFFEEVESCENT SALTS. Among the many improvements and advances in the beauty andpalatability of pharmaceutical preparations, these delight- ful effervescent salts stand pre-eminent. Not only is the remedy presented in a form that will not offend the most fastidious palate , but it is given in a perfectly soluble state , so as to develop its peculiar properties and virtues in the shortest possible time. AMMONIUM BROMIDE. This salt resembles the Potassium Bromide in its physio- logical powers, except that it is less depressing- and, it is claimed, will not produce bromism. Each drachm or heaping teaspoonful contains 2 grains of Ammonium Bromide. Dose, heaping tea- or tablespoonful. BISMUTH CITRATE. Combining the sedative qualities of the Bismuth upon the gastric surface with solubility. Each drachm con- tains 2 grains Ammon. Citrate of Bismuth. Dose, 1 to 2 teaspoonfuls. CAFFEINE CITRATE. Representing the active principle of Coffee, Tea and Cfuarana in a most elegant form. Acts promptly in nerv- ous headache, nervous depression and exhaustion. Each drachm contains 1 grain Caffeine Citrate. Dose, dessert- spoonful. CAFFEINE HYDROBROMATE. A most valuable remedy and potent addition to the re- sources of the practitioner. Caffeine, the active principle of coffee, tea and guarana, is one of the best of nervous stimulants, producing a sense of mental and bodily vigor. Bromine, combined as hydrobromic acid, allays undue excitement of the nervous system. In practice the com- bination of the two has produced most beneficial results. Headache from various causes, such as fatigue, over- exertion of mind, disordered stomach, nervous depression or anxiety, and the periodical headaches of ladies, are all promptly relieved by its use. Sick headache is relieved 112 GRANULAR EFFERVESCENT SALTS. in a short time. The nervous prostration following- the excessive use of alcoholic stimulants or of narcotics as opium, morphine or chloral, is rapidly alleviated. De- pression of spirits and nervous irritability g-enerally are soon mitigated. Physicians will find this preparation very acceptable to their patients. Each drachm contains 1 grain Hydrobromate of Caffeine. Dose, 1 heaping tea- or tablespoonful, repeated in half an hour if necessary. CAFFEINE HYDROBROM. AND POTASSIUM BRO- MIDE. A very efficient combination for relieving nervous head- ache, sleeplessness, and nervous irritation from overwork or excessive alcoholic stimulation. Each drachm contains 1 grain Caffeine Hydrobrom. and 10 grains Potassium Bromide. Dose, 1 to 2 heaping teaspoonfuls. CAFFEINE HYDROBROM. AND SODIUM BRO- MIDE. Properties and dose same as above.

IMPROVED HYPODERMIC SYRINGE. LATEST IMPROVED HYPODERMIC SYRINGES, MANUFACTURED EXPRESSLY FOR SHARP & DOHME. The very important improvements consist of the movable cap a, which opens the entire calibre of the barrel and aHows the easy introduction of our soluble tablets, and a solution for immediate use is readily made by adding 10 m. water. Then the solid and securely fastened wing-plate affords a firm hold and perfect command of the syringe, and a simple but effectual arrangement for expanding and tightening the plunger, which will prevent it from ever becoming loose. In the syringe furnished in the Morocco Case No. 1, Metal Case No. 2, and Flexible Case No. 4, the plunger is expanded by turning the piston rod to the left. The reverse takes place on turning to the right. In the syringe furnished in the Metal Case No. 3, explicit directions regarding the plunger-expanding arrangement (which is different from the syringes furnished in Nos. 1, 2 and 4 Cases) accompany each syringe. Our syringes are packed either in an oblong leather-covered case — (Fig. 1)— 3M inches long, 1 % inches wide, containing, besides the syringe and two needles, two tubes of our soluble tablets ; or in a flat nickel-plated metal case— (Fig. 2)— 3 % inches long by 2 inches wide, containing also two tubes IMPROVED HYPODERMIC SYRINGE. 125 of tablets and two needles, besides the syringe ; or in a flat nickel-plated metal case— (Fig. 3)— 3# inches long by 1% inch wide, containing four tubes of tablets and two needles, be- sides the syringe; or in a flexible leather case— (Fig. 4)— 3% inches long by 2 % inches wide, containing six tubes of tab- lets, besides the two needles and the syringe.

Hypodermic medication has been used now for about twenty-five years— a period sufficient to thoroughly test its value and uses, and to bring the performance of it to a high state of efficiency and accuracy. The following very brief and condensed account is offered in the hope that it will be found of use to the busy practitioner, and may prove sugges- tive in some emergency when time does not allow the con- sultation of some more elaborate treatise. To those who desire more fully to enter into this subject, the full and comprehensive work of Prof. Roberts Bartholow, 4 edit. 1882, will give information up to that date. The advantages of administering remedies by this method are : 1st. A more prompt and speedy effect is produced ; in- deed, the effects of active remedies thrown into the connec- tive tissue under the skin are perceived almost instanta- neously. (In this connection , it would be well to bear in mind the advice of Prof. Dujardin-Beaumetz, of Paris , France. He states that in cases of nephritic disease , all medicines given by the mouth , and much more so when given hypodermically , are apt to show greater activity than usual , and that the phy- sician should be on his guard in using powerful agents where nephritic disability is suspected or ascertained.) 2d. The re- sults are more permanent and curative. In the case of neuralgia, for example, remedies are often given without effect, and for some time, when their hypodermic use has promptly wrought a cure. A very simple explanation of this is found in the fact that many remedies themselves undergo changes when brought in contact with the gastric juice, and even if not altered, their absorption is necessarily slow ; consequently they do not make that forcible impres- sion which is made when they are given hypodermically. 3d. Gastric disturbances are avoided. Remedies do not interfere with a digestion often already enfeebled. 4th, and finally, remedies can be administered to persons unable or unwilling to swallow— as in the case of unconsciousness from narcotic poisons, persons with suicidal intent, or the mentally de- ranged. HYPODERMIC MEDICATION. 127 Various objections have been made to this method ; but when these are examined they will be found to depend on imperfect instruments, badly prepared medicinal agents, or an improper introduction of the medicinal agent. 1st. The instrument should be kept clean and in good working order ; the needle-points sharp and free from rust. 2d. The solution for injection should be freshly prepared, and of medicinal agents of undoubted purity and strength. 3d. The injection must be made under the skin into the connective tissue. A failure to observe one or all of these conditions may involve the formation of abscesses, or even serious systemic effects. Dangerous results have followed the injection of some pow- erful remedy into a vein, but a little care on the part of the operator will avoid any such accident. The instrument itself has been made of various materials and modified in many ways since its first use. There is no one substance presenting all the qualities needed to form an ideally perfect hypodermic syringe ; the one combining- most of these qualities is glass, and its single disadvantage of fragility has been successfully overcome by enclosing the glass barrel in a bi-fenestrated cylinder of metal. An in- strument thus made has the advantage of not being acted upon by any agents likely to be used subcutaneously ; of being transparent to allow of the inspection of its contents, and of being easily kept clean. The needles should be of finely tempered steel, with needle-point and sharp cutting edges, so as readily to pierce the integument without any bruising. Care should be taken that they are kept free from rust, and that the entire syringe is regularly cleansed after use and before being placed in its case. This can be done by drawing in and forcing out several times a little clean water ; unscrewing the needle and carefully wiping the point dry between the fingers ; the small quantity of sebaceous matter from the skin being sufficient to prevent it from rusting. A fine wire should then be inserted to keep the tube of the needle open. Very great improvements have lately been added in furnishing what are called wings to the syringe, giving a firm hold and complete control of the instrument ; and in making the lower cap movable, exposing the whole calibre of the barrel and allowing the introduction of a tab- let, thus making a solution in the syringe. The operation of injection is a very simple one. The place chosen for its performance is usually the outer side of the arm, but any convenient place will answer. Some authorities prefer injecting at or near the seat of pain, rnflamed tissues HYPODERMIC MEDICATION. 128 and bony prominences should be avoided. The place' being- determined, a fold of loose skin is pinched up between the thumb and finger of the left hand. The syringe being charged, the needle is thrust in promptly, penetrating the skin. This will be recognized by the cessation of resistance, and the point of the needle will now move freely in the connective tissue. The needle should pass in an inch or more. The piston is now slowly pushed home, making the injection drop by drop, so that the fluid may diffuse itself in the areolar tissue without rupturing any small vessels or the fibres of the areolar tissue. When all has been injected, withdraw the needle slowly and press the puncture with the tip of a finger for a few moments to prevent the escape of the fluid. Gentle friction with the tips of the fingers disperses the injected fluid in the cellular tissue and aids its prompt absorption, and also tends to prevent local irritation. In cases of paralysis, some inject directly into a muscle. Prof. Bartholow, “Hypodermatic Medication,” p. 44, says: “In practising the hypodermatic injection it is important to avoid puncturing a vein. Serious depression of the powers of life, fainting, and sudden and profound narcotism have been pro- duced by injecting a solution of morphia directly into a vein.* Fatal collapse might be induced by injecting air into a large vein along with the solution.” This latter may be avoided by driving all the air out of the syringe, after charg- ing it, by holding the syringe with the needle-point up and gently pushing the piston until a drop of fluid exudes. The active agent to be injected subcutaneously should be in perfect solution. The solution itself should be neutral (4. e. neither acid nor alkaline), clear and free from foreign matter, and not too concentrated. The difficulty of fulfilling these conditions has in the past very materially hindered the more general use of this method of treatment. But com- paratively a very few years ago many of the alkaloids were to be had only as bases, and were more or less insoluble with- out the addition of some acid, and the slightest excess of the latter caused intense local irritation. When this had been overcome, after a clear, neutral solution had been made, it * Mr. J. Craig Balfour, in the London Lancet for November 1(M, 1888, gives a test of the occurrence of penetration of a vein, which if borne in mind may prevent serious consequences. It is the instanta- neous supervention of a prickling sensation in all parts of the patient" 1 s surface . Remembering this fact and making the injection slowly, the needle may be withdrawn on its occurrence before any serious harm ensues . HYPODERMIC MEDICATION. 129 was found impossible to preserve it in this state for even a short time. It was found that even after a few days a solu- tion of morphine which had been carefully filtered and was perfectly clear had become cloudy. This was owing to the growth of a microscopic organism, the Penicilium ; and ex- perience proved that this not only grew at the expense of the alkaloid, thus weakening the strength of the solution, but that it proved also to be a local irritant when injected into the tissues, resulting frequently in abscess. From time to time various means were devised to obviate this difficulty, but none proved effectual until the soluble hypodermic tablets were made. These, when properly prepared, solve the problem most satisfactorily. They should be quickly and entirely soluble, perfectly neutral, and the excipient combined with the alkaloid should be bland and unirritating. Made in this manner they are a great boon to the profession, since they reduce the dose to a mathematical accuracy, which was formerly very often a matter of conjecture, when a solution had to be carried about. The alkaloid is effectually preserved in the tablet from deterioration, and the latter presents an accurate and definite dose, of which a solution can be made fresh, and almost instantaneously, when needed. Their portability and compactness are not the least among their good qualities. The practitioner can now go armed with a dozen hypodermic remedies, which will not deteri- orate by keeping, and which do not occupy any more space than formerly the vial containing a solution of morphine alone did. Prof. Bartholow, p. 59, says : “A 4 hypodermic tablet ’ . . . . is conveniently carried, and, as regards liability to accident, is much superior to any permanent solution. Since I have adopted the method of extemporaneous solutions, I have not had occur the hard nodules and the points of suppuration * and sloughing which were not infrequent when permanent solutions were employed.” Remedies used hypodermically are much more active than when given by the mouth. The general rule is to give one-tliird less than given by the mouth to produce the same impression. As some persons exhibit peculiar susceptibilities to certain remedies, it would be well to inject a small dose tentatively where the idiosyn- crasy of the patient is not known. 130 HYPODERMIC MEDICATION. APOMORPHEVE used hypodermically is indispensable as an emetic in cases of narcotic poisoning. It acts freely when all emetics given by the mouth fail. It has also been used in capillary bronchitis to free the tubes of secretion, and in croup to dislodge the false membrane. AMYL NITRITE is usually best given by inhalation, but where respiration is about ceasing, as in cases of angina pectoris , chloroform narcosis , surgical shock , cholera as- phyxia , etc., etc., it may prove of immense utility when injected hypodermically. ARSENIC has been successfully used in chorea , lympha- denoma , enlarged spleen and in splenic leucocythemia. Excellent results have also been obtained in chronic skin diseases, as psoriasis and eczema. The best form is sodium arseniate, which is less likely to produce the toxic effects of arsenic than any other, and is less irritant locally. ATROPINE is principally used in combination with mor- phine, and as its physiological antagonist. It has been used to advantage by hypodermic injection in acute rheumatism near the painful joint, in epilepsy , and asthma with marked results. Seasickness and vomiting of preg- nancy are relieved by it; the algid state of cholera; diseases of the bladder. Atropine is also the antagonist to pilocarpine, muscarine and eserine, and may be used to combat the toxic effects of these, as well as of mor- phine or opium. In treating a case of poisoning by atropine, it should be remembered that its effects on the economy last longer than those of morphine, so that, in giving the latter as an antidote, it may be necessary to repeat the dose of morphine. CAFFEINE has been used in neuralgia , hysterical head- ache , and migraine. Dr. Anstie relieved by it the in- somnia attendant upon chronic alcoholism without delirium. It has also been used with success against opium narcosis. CARBOLIC ACID used hypodermically as a 2 per cent, solution has produced excellent results in erysipelas , and in other diseases supposed to depend on morbific^ ferments. It has also been used in pleuro-pneumonia, in synovitis , white swelling , adenoma , bubo , fibroma, etc. It has afforded great relief in acute rheumatism , in chronic rheumatism , myalgia , superficial neuralgia, etc. CHLORAL HYDRATE causes much local irritation and pain when injected under the skin — so much so that its use is restricted to cases in which the stomach cannot bear the remedy, or where the patient is unable or unwilling to swallow. It has proved useful in poisoning by strychnine, uncontrollable vomiting , obstinate hiccough , in violent cholera morbus , and in true cholera. In the latter Prof. Bartholow had the best results from its use. It has also proved beneficial in asthma and other neuroses of the chest, but care must be exercised lest a fatal result is produced by paralysis of a weak heart. HYPODERMIC MEDICATION. 131 CHLOROFORM is not adapted for ordinary hypodermic use, but has been used with great success in many cases of obstinate neuralgia , sciaticti, etc., by a deep injection, by Prof. Bartholow. For details, see his work on “ Hypo- dermatic Medication,” fourth edition, 1882, p. 288, etc. COCAINE is principally used subcutaneously for producing local anaesthesia in minor surgical operations, etc. For this purpose it is injected into the areolar tissue as near to the seat of operation as possible. Also injected into the gum for drawing teeth. Recently Bignon found that animals poisoned by strychnine can be saved by the hypodermic injection of cocaine pushed to the point of delirium, and the elfect maintained for some time. He found they could be saved by this means even after the occurrence of tetanic spasms. See Medical News , De- cember 25th, 1886. CODEINE may be used hypodermically as a substitute for morphine, but has no advantages except where a special hypnotic action is desired, as in mama, hypo- chondria , and delirium tremens. It has proved of great use in diabetes. CONINE has been used in asthma , emphysema , angina pec- toris, tetanus , and in acute mania. CURARINE or WOORARINE has been used in tetanus with some success. It has also been used in epilepsy and in hydrophobia with reported success. DUBOISINE maybe substituted for atropine in all diseases where the latter is now used. Prof. Bartholow is of opinion that it is to be preferred to atropine, and gives it as his experience that it is much more effective in psychical disorders. ERGOT hypodermically is available for hemorrhages in general; especially useful in haemoptysis, subinvolution of the uterus, chronic metritis, intramural fibroids, polypi and hydatid mole of uterus, hypertrophied prostate, vari- cocele, aneurism, varicose veins,enlarged spleen, leukaemia, exophthalmic goitre, acute affections of the meninges of the brain and spinal cord, cerebro-spinal meningitis , con- gestive form of migraine and headache, sunstroke, tic dou- loureux, hemicrania, and sometimes in sciatica. In all these various diseases. Ergot has been used hypo- dermically either in the form of Fluid Extract or tablets of Ergotin. To both of these there are objections. The Fluid Extract as ordinarily prepared contains much inert and irritating extractive, and this in the comparatively large dose required is apt to cause pain and local irri- tation. The Ergotin Tablets cannot be made stronger than 1-10 gr. if they are to be readily soluble, and this amount is too small to produce enough therapeutic effect. These objections have been altogether overcome by Ergotole, our new preparation of Ergot of Rye specially made for hypodermic use by a new process; representing all the active principles of Ergot in a very concentrated form, and entirely free from all inert and irritating constituents. 132 HYPODERMIC MEDICATION. ERGOTOLE used hypodermically causes neither pain nor abscess, and keeps perfectly without precipitation for any length of time. Tt has -been extensively tried in hospital and private practice, hypodermically and ad- ministered by the mouth, proving uniformly efficacious, and it has been pronounced the most efficient preparation of Ergot in use. Each minim will produce the full therapeutic effects of about 2 % grains of the best Spanish Ergot. Dose, 5 to 20 minims hypodermically. (See page 180.) ESERINE or PHYSOSTIGMI^E has been of great utility in tetanus , the proportion of recoveries to deaths being one-half. It should be given hypodermically and in quantities sufficient to keep the spasms in check, and sufficient nourishment must be given. It has also been used in hydrophobia , in bronchitis , pulmonary congestion and pneumonia. ETHER may be employed subcutaneously with great ad- vantage in cases of sudden depression of the powers of life, as in the bites of venomous snakes , surgical shock , Asiatic cholera , the passage of biliary or renal calculi ; in the action of arterial sedatives, as aconite, veratrum viride. etc. Also in cardiac failure from hemorrhage. It has proved of great benefit in cases of severe adynamic pneumonia , and in variola It should never be used in the chloroform narcosis. Whiskey or brandy may be used hypodermically in cases of sudden depression of the powers of life, but not in the chloroform narcosis. They are more likely to be conveniently at hand in sudden emergencies than ether, but are more apt to be followed by local inflammation and abscess. HYDROCYANIC ACID may be given subcutaneously with advantage in mental disorders , gastralgia , nausea and vomiting. HYOSCINE (Merck’s) is derived from the decomposition of Hyoscyamine, and is said to possess the sedative and hypnotic properties of Hyoscyamine in a much higher degree, and may be used in its stead. Erb (Centralblatt fur die ges. Ther.), January, 1888, states that this is a powerful hypnotic, frequently producing immediate sleep and when all other remedies had failed. He found it especially useful in irritable conditions of the motor system. It had a decided effect in the tremor of paralysis agitans, and afforded relief in cases of severe and obsti- nate spasm of single- or groups of muscles. HYOSCYAMINE is of high value in mental disorders , paralysis agitans , chorea , mercurial trembling , senile trembling , spasmodic cough , laryngismus , hiccough. HYPODERMIC MEDICATION. 133 MERCURY, in the form of corrosive chloride, by the hypodermic method is used in syphilis , and with the greatest advantage ; also in some forms of chronic Skin diseases. Corrosive chloride of mercury generally causes some pain when used subcutaneously, but with a solution not too concentrated, with a clean syringe and sharp cutting needle without rust, there is no danger of an abscess. MORPH I1VE alone or combined with Atropine has proved useful in diseases of the brain and nervous system , delirium tremens , cerebro-spinal meningitis , sunstroke , hysteria , epilepsy , eclampsia , uraemic convulsions , chorea , tetanus , hydrophobia , muscular cramp and spasm , neuralgia. Also in asthma , emphysema , hiccough , acwie inflammatory affections of the respiratory organs , angina pectoris , dys- pepsia, schirrus, cholera , vomiting of pregnancy , colic , peritonitis , affections of the bladder and urethra , after- pains in childbirth , the nocturnal pains in acute rheu- matism and tertiary syphilis ; in certain surgical diseases , especially fractures and dislocations , strangulated hernia ; as an aid to chloroform narcosis , and in poisoning by bella- donna or atropine, by gelsemium, and by veratrum viride. As Morphine is by far the most frequently used sub- cutaneously of the alkaloids, and its range of usefulness is very large, it is well to bear in mind that a larger dose can be given combined with atropine, since the latter is a powerful excitant of the centre of respiration, which is depressed by large doses of morphine, and a fatal issue may result in consequence of paralysis of this centre. The desirable effects of morphine are increased by the addition of atropine, while the toxic effects are counter- acted. Should toxic symptoms be induced by the use of mor- phine, they should be met with a subcutaneous injection of atropine. The head of the patient should be low, all restrictions to free respiration removed, ammonia placed to the nostrils. Subsequently caffeine may be given hypodermically. Artificial respiration and the faradic current to the muscles of the chest may be used. The injection of ammonia into the veins, and the inhalation of amyl nitrite or its injection subcutaneously, have proved of benefit. NICOTINE has been successful in tetanus. About one half the traumatic cases treated with it recover. The officinal wine of tobacco may be substituted for the alkaloid. NITROGLYCERIN. — This powerful agent gives imme- diate relief in angina pectoris , asthma , threatening death in chloroform narcosis , all cases of heart failure , in abort- ing incipient chills, cases of collapse, surgical shock, and may prove of great benefit in threatening gangrene of the extremities. (See our special circular on Nitro- glycerin.) Nitroglycerin in doses of 1-50 gr. hypodermically has lately been successfully used in poisoning by illumi- nating gas. Four moribund cases are known to have been quickly relieved. The injection should be repeated every hour or two until an impression is made on the pulse. 134 HYPODERMIC MEDICATION. PIIiOCARPIJVE has been advantageously used in mumps and acute affections of the parotid , submaxillary and sub- lingual glands , acute tonsilitis. Has afforded relief in the metastasis of mumps, obstinate hiccough , hoarseness , bron- chitis, bronchorrhoea , asthma, emphysema , cardiac dropsy, dropsy of acute albuminuria, eclampsia, effusion into cavi- ties . To cut short an ague chill. It may be administered either as nitrate or muriate. Q,UINI]YE has been used subcutaneously with great advan- tage in pernicious fever, in malarial fevers attended with gastric irritation, in chronic malarial poisoning, to abort recent malarial fevers ; combined with a small dose of morphine it has proved very useful in typhoid fever. It has also been used very successfully in India in the treatment of sunstroke. Finally, some cases of neuralgia have been cured by its means. The form best adapted to hypodermic use is the quinma bi-muriatica carbamidata, which produces no local irritation. (See our special cir- cular on Bimuriate of Quinine and Urea.) STRYCHNINE injected under the skin has proved highly beneficial in the treatment of paralysis, especially in hemiplegia, paraplegia, infantile paralysis, local paraly- sis , progressive muscular atrophy, progressive locomotor ataxia, facial paralysis, gastralgia, cardiac neuralgia , amaurosis, amblyopia. In the misty vision produced by the abusive use of tobacco, strychnine has been found to be of the greatest advantage in restoring strength to the optic nerve. Dr. Echeverria remarks : “ The effects of strychnia are widely different when administered hypodermically or by the mouth. A smaller dose exhibited hypodermically may be capable of regenerating at once the lost muscular power.” A Russian physician states that hypodermic injections of 1-40 gr. strychnine given at intervals of 24 hours for 8 or 10 days consecutively will cure alcoholism, producing an absolute disgust for the taste or smell of alcoholic liquids. Prof. Thos. J. Mays, in a lecture at Philadelphia Poly- clinic, recommends strychnine combined with atropine for the cure of asthma. He says : “ It must not be for- gotten, however, that a general lowering of the nerve tone of the body is often as much the cause of disease in other organs as it is of asthma in the lungs, and hence by invigorating the nervous system the asthma as well as its concomitants disappear.” He begins by injecting 1-50 gr. strychnine and 1-150 gr. atropine daily, gradually in- creasing the former to 1-20 gr. and the latter to 1-100 gr. After a thorough impression is made the drugs are only injected every other day, and then gradually abandoned. He says : “ I have been using it daily in treating asthma during the last six months, and I believe with more prompt and more definite results than can be obtained from any other drugs.”— N. Y. Med. Journ., April 12, 1890. COMPRESSED TABLETS. 135 Compressed Tablets Put up in boxes and in screw-top flat bottles of 40 Tablets each, also in pound bottles and in bulk.

(FOR EXTERNAL USE.) Convenient for quickly making; Solutions of Corrosive Sublimate of known and accurate strength, for Antiseptic and Disinfectant Purposes. The attention of the medical profession is called to these Compressed Antiseptic Disks, each composed of 7.3 grains Corrosive Sublimate and 7.7 grains Ammonium Chloride, which, when dissolved in 1 pint of water, will give a solution of 1 part Corrosive Sublimate to 1000 parts water. Sufficient green coloring matter of neutral and innocuous properties is added to render them distinctive and prevent mistake. The Ammonium Chloride is added to facilitate solution and prevent decomposition of the Corrosive Sublimate when dis- solved in ordinary well or spring water. Their use was first suggested by Dr , Charles Meigs Wilson, in the Medical News of December 27th, 1884, who says : “ To those medical men who desire to use this, the safest and best antiseptic agent, the tablets [disks] will prove of great use ; they save the carrying about of bulky solutions; they make a solution which is mathematically correct as to its strength ; they eliminate an element of danger, because the physician can carry the tablets about with him, making and using the solution when required, and throwing the unused portion away, thus avoiding the necessity of leaving a dangerous poison in the hands of irresponsible and ignorant people, or the necessity of bringing his solution at each visit ; they will also be of use as a means of preparing disinfectant solutions, as a large amount of disinfecting material can be obtained in this way in a compact form.” MEDICINAL LOZENGES. 138 Solutions of any desired strength can be made by varying the number of disks or the quantity of water. Thus, 1 disk to % pint water gives a proportion of 1 to 500. 1 disk to 1 pint water, 1 to 1000. 1 disk to 1% pints water, 1 to 1500. 1 disk to 2 pints water, 1 to 2000. It is generally conceded that Corrosive Sublimate is the most efficient and powerful germicide known, and, when kept convenient in this portable and eligible form, many occasions for its use will suggest themselves. The accou- cheur will find them indispensable, both during childbirth and in the puerperal state. The general practitioner will use them for disinfecting the stools of typhoid fever, the secretions from cases of diphtheria, etc. They are put up in bottles of 25 each.

Each tablet containing Sodium Bicarbonate, Sodium Sali- cylate, Sodium Biborate, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Benzo- ate, Thymol, Menthol, Eucalyptol, Oil Gaultheria. Useful in nasal catarrh and inflamed mucous membranes, as an antiseptic spray and mouth wash. For nasal applica- tions, dissolve one tablet in two fluidounces of water, and use as a spray or wash, to be sniifed up the nose morning and night. As a mouth wash, use a solution of the same strength, and apply with a soft tooth brush, or rinse the mouth thoroughly several times a day. It is a valuable antiseptic and deter- gent ; especially in stomatitis and retraction of the gums, it will prove an excellent remedy. TABLET TRITURATES. 146 Tablet Triturates. PREPARED ACCORDING TO DR. ROBT. M. FULLER’S METHOD. (See Medical Record , March 9, 1878.) “An easy, economical and accurate method of dispensing medicines in a compact and palatable form.” These tablets consist of the respective medicinal ingredient and pure Sugar of Milk , thoroughly mixed and incorporated together by trituration. Only the purest materials are used in their manufacture. The obvious advantages of this mode of dispensing medicines are: The thoroughness of the subdivision of the medicinal ingre- dient attained by protracted trituration with pure Sugar of Milk , and the consequent accuracy of dose. The ready solubility or diffusibility of the tablets in water and in the fluids of the stomach. The elegance of this form of tablet and the convenience afforded for readily and accurately dispensing small doses of potent remedies. The usual dose of Tablet Triturates is one , repeated as often as the judgment of the physician deems necessary. Special formulae made to order in lots of 1000 or more.

Dose, 1 to 2 fluidrachms. 168 SYRUPS. PHOSPHATES COMP. (Chemical Pood). Containing- 5 grains of the combined Phosphates of Cal- cium, Sodium, Potassium and Iron in each fluidrachm, 1 grain being Phosphate of Iron. Dose, 1 teaspoonful. PHOSPHATE OF IRON, QUININE AND STRYCHNINE. This excellent tonic combination contains 1 grain each of the Phosphates of Iron and Quinine, and 1-32 grain of Phosphate of Strychnine in each fluidrachm, held in perfect solution by Tribasic Phosphoric Acid. Dose, 1 fluidrachm. TONIC HYPOPHOSPHITES. We call particular attention to our Syrup Tonic Hypo- phosphites, prepared according to the formula: Potas- sium Hypophosphite IX grains, Iron Hypophosphite 1 % grains, Manganese Hypophosphite 1 grain, Calcium Hy- pophosphite 1 grain, Quinine Hypophosphite X grain, Strychnine Hypophosphite 1-16 grain in each fluidounce, of which 1 to 2 teaspoonfuls are given at a dose. This combination has proved of immense value in the hands of practitioners in the treatment of atonic and cachectic conditions, as in the tubercular and strumous diatheses, in general debility and nervous exhaustion ; in fine, as a restorative and tonic generally. It is a true constructive or builder-up of the blood, enriching and purifying it, and rendering it suitable for nourishing and building up healthy tissues. Hence it has been found highly useful in the debility of tubercular phthisis with loss of appe- tite, night sweats and general emaciation ; in badly nour- ished and delicate children ; in rickets ; osteomalacia ; chlorosis and anaemia ; scrofulous ulcerations ; tedious convalescence from adynamic fevers and inflammations, as typhoid fever, pneumonia, etc., etc. The Strychnine acts particularly on the nervous centres, beside stimu- lating the appetite and digestion. The Quinine, in small doses, is a gentle excitant of the gastric functions, it in- creases the appetite as well as the digestion. Both of these agents stimulate all the functions of secretion and excretion, thus directly increasing assimilation and tend- ing to the replacement of diseased or feeble tissues by healthy normal growth. The other salts of this prepara- tion are all normal constituents of the human blood and are presented for absorption in a most soluble and ac- ceptable form as Hypophosphites, thus affording abun- dant material for increasing the red corpuscles, Avhich are the oxygen carriers, and the vitality of the protoplasm of the leucocytes or germ cells. The Phosphorus, in- troduced into the system as hypophosphorous acid, also acts an essential part in the restoration of nerve force and tissue. It will thus be seen that this is a truly scientific combination and will commend itself to the notice of the intelligent physician. No precipitation of any of the ingredients occurs in our syrup ; they are so skillfully combined that they form a harmonious and stable compound. WINES. 169 WHITE PINE COMPOUND.

SACCHARATED PEPSIN, Strength U. S. P. 1880. This preparation, so favorably known as a remedy in some forms of indigestion, is prepared from the inner coating of the stomach of the hog, without the application of heat , and is diluted with sugar of milk in such propor- tion that 1 grain dissolved in % ounce of water, with addition of 5 drops of Muriatic Acid, will dissolve com- pletely 50 grains of coagulated albumen, previously pressed through a sieve of 30 meshes, at a temperature of 100° Fahrenheit, in 5 to 6 hours. Our Saccharated Pepsin is uniform in strength, without any unpleasant odor or taste, and can be relied upon to produce the therapeutic effects of Pepsin in the highest degree. LIQUID PEPSIN. Prepared according to Scheffer’s formula, presenting the Pepsin in its most efficient form, the menstruum being diluted Glycerin acidulated with Muriatic Acid. Dose, 1 to 2 fluidrachms. LIME JUICE AND PEPSIN. A solution of Pepsin in diluted Lime Juice, representing 16 grains of Saccharated Pepsin in each fluidounce. This combination of Pepsin with Lime Juice forms a most palatable and at the same time efficient remedy in ordi- nary derangement of the digestive functions and the train of disorders resulting therefrom. The Lime Juice in this preparation does not only greatly increase the efficacy of the Pepsin, but it is itself a grateful refrigerant tonic and powerful antiscorbutic. Dose, 1 to 2 fluidrachms at meal-times. We also prepare the following stronger Pepsins : CONCENTRATED PEPSIN. (Being neutral, it requires addition of acid to dissolve it in water.) Solvent power, 1:500. Dose, 1 to 5 grains. PURE PEPSIN, POWD. (Pepsinum purum, pulvis). (Being neutral, it requires addition of acid to dissolve it in water.) Solvent power, 1:2000. Dose, X to 2 grains. PANCREATIN, DIALYSED IRON. 173 PURE PEPSIN, SCALES (Pepsinum purum in lamellis). It will keep indefinitely and is soluble in water. Solvent power, 1:2000. Dose, X to 2 grains. These Pepsins will dissolve 500 to 2000 times respectively their weight of coagulated egg-albumen by the test of the U. S. Pharmacopoeia or of the National Formulary. See combinations of Pepsin with other substances, under heading of Elixirs, Wines, Pills, &c. SACCHARATED PANCBEATIN. Prepared from the pancreas of the pig, and powdered with a certain proportion of sugar of milk. This preparation pos- sesses all the natural digestive properties of the pancreatic juice, converting starch into glucose and dextrine ; it emul- sifies fats, and exerts a modifying influence upon the pro- teids, changing them into peptones. It will coagulate the casein of milk. It is especially indicated in the gastrointes- tinal diseases of infancy and childhood, and in the dyspepsia of adult life, attended by the formation of butyric and other acid fermentations, due to the imperfect digestion of starch and fats. Dose for adult, 5 to 15 grains ; for infants, 1 grain or more, according to age. DIALYSED IRON; This preparation has been extensively used by the Medical Profession as a most convenient and elegant form of admin- istering Iron. It is considered preferable to the other prepa- rations of Iron, because it does not irritate the stomach and bowels, producing neither constipation nor diarrhoea, so apt to follow the administration of other ferruginous com- pounds. It is devoid of styptic taste, and does not blacken the teeth. The dose of Dialysed Iron is from 10 to 40 drops, 3 times a day, in wine or water. 174 0 L E A T E S . OLEATES. ' Since the introduction of Oleate of Mercury to the Medical Profession , by Dr. John Marshall in 1872, the demand for other Oleates has rapidly increased. Oleates are much cleaner , more efficient and elegant preparations than ordinary ointments. Whilst the latter are merely mechanical mixtures of fat with Oxide of Mercury , or with some other remedial agent , and are wasteful and uncertain in their action— much of the insoluble remedy remaining on the surface of the shin after the fat has been absorbed— the Oleates, on the contrary, are chemical combinations of the Alkaloid or Metal with Oleic Acid, pene- trating the shin more readily, and every molecule of the Oleate is absorbed, carrying with it its definite proportion of the Al- kaloid or other active ingredient used, effectually reaching even deep-seated parts. The term Normal Oleate is applied in this List to the un- diluted combinations. The diluted Oleates ( Ointments of Oleates ) are made to repre- sent the most desirable strengths* ACONITINE (Solution of Oleate), containing 2 per cent, of ordinary Alkaloid. ACONITINE (Solution of Oleate), containing 2 per cent, of Duquesnel’s Aconitine. We desire to draw particular attention to the above two Oleates of Aconitine. The former is made from the Aconitine of the common market, whilst the latter is prepared from Duques- neVs Aconitine. The latter is about fourteen times stronger than the former, which accounts for the difference in price. This Oleate should, be used with the greatest precaution and to a very limited extent. It should be carefully applied with the end of the cork. ALUMINIUM (Normal Oleate). ALUMINIUM (Ointment of Oleate), representing 50 per cent, of the Normal Oleate. ATROPINE (Solution of Oleate), representing 2 per cent. Atropine. BISMUTH (Normal Oleate). BISMUTH (Ointment of Oleate), representing 5 per cent, of Oxide Bismuth. OLEATES. 175 COCAINE (Solution of Oleate), containing- 5 per cent, of the Alkaloid. COPPER (Normal Oleate). COPPER (Ointment of Oleate), representing 5 per cent. Oxide Copper. IRON (Normal Oleate). LEAD (Normal Oleate). LEAD (Ointment of Oleate), representing 20 per cent. Oxide Lead. MERCURY (Normal), representing 28.3 per cent. Mercuric Oxide. MERCURY (Ointment of Oleate), representing 5 per cent. Mercuric Oxide. MERCURY (Ointment of Oleate), representing 10 per cent. Mercuric Oxide. MERCURY (Ointment of Oleate), representing 20 per cent. Mercuric Oxide. MERCURY AND MORPHINE (Ointment of the Oleates), representing 5 per cent. Mercuric Oxide and 2 per cent. Morphine. For many purposes Oleate of Mercury is improved by the addition of Morphine. The above has proven to be a desirable proportion. We also prepare an ointment in the proportion of 20 per cent, of Mercury and 5 per cent, of Morphine. MORPHINE (Solution of Oleate), representing 2 percent, pure Morphine. MORPHINE (Solution of Oleate), representing 5 per cent, pure Morphine. MORPHINE (Solution of Oleate), representing 10 per cent, pure Morphine. MORPHINE (Solution of Oleate), representing 20 per cent, pure Morphine. NICKEL (Normal Oleate). QUININE (Solution of Oleate), representing 5 per cent, pure Quinine. 176 COD LIVER OIL PREPARATIONS.

VE KATRINE (representing 10 per cent, pure Veratrine). ZINC (Normal Oleate, Powd.) ZINC (Ointment of Oleate), representing 5 per cent. Oxide Zinc. COD LIVER OIL PREPARATIONS. PURE NORWEGIAN COD LIVER OIL. Made from fresh selected livers by a careful process— at a low temperature— insuring its paleness, sweetness and freedom from unpleasant flavor, and yet retaining all the valuable therapeutical properties of this agent. Dose, for an adult, 1 tablespoonful three times a day. AROMATIC COD LIVER OIL. Consists of a pure article of Norwegian Cod Liver Oi] pleasantly flavored with aromatics, disguising its dis- agreeable odor and taste almost completely, and making it rather palatable. AROMATIC COD LIVER OIL WITH HYPOPHOS- PHITES. Containing 5 grains of the combined Hypophosphites of Calcium, Sodium and Potassium in each tablespoonful. In this preparation we offer a compound, the ingredients of which are so favorably known as remedies in pulmo- nary consumption and scrofula, that a statement of its accurate composition will, no doubt, be sufficient to re- commend it to the medical profession. It consists of a concentrated solution of the Hypophosphites in pure glycerin, which is very readily and completely miscible with the oil by shaking ; two fluidounces of pure glycerin in each pint bottle of Cod Liver Oil being the quantity of this ingredient used. This preparation is pleasantly flavored like the preceding oil ; the dose for an adult being a tablespoonful three times a day, shaking the bottle before using. COD LIVER OIL PREPARATIONS. 177 AROMATIC COD LIVER OIL WITH HYPOPHOS- PHITES OF CALCIUM AND SODIUM. (Emulsion.) This admirable combination of agents, which we have been preparing for many years, is specially adapted for all forms of disease of adynamic type, as tuberculosis, scrofula, anaemia, caries, rickets, Pott’s disease, etc. Phosphorus, of which so large a percentage enters into the composition of nerve and bone tissues, is furnished in a form that is readily assimilated without irritating the stomach. The efficacy of Phosphorus as a stimulant and regenerator of nerve force is unquestioned. In com- bination with Calcium and Sodium, under the form of Hypophosphites, it has exhibited peculiar virtues in building up the system in the diseases above mentioned. Dr. Churchill, after a most extended experience in their use, has said that “ Phthisis, when not treated with the Hypophosphites, must be regarded as almost always fatal ; whereas, when used in time , every patient may be cured by their use.” He further adds that he expects to see the Hypophosphites as useful and efficacious in tuber- culosis as quinine in malaria. The value of Cod Liver Oil as a remedy in these diseases has been firmly established by the clinical experience of many years. In our prepa- ration they are combined in the form of an elegant and perfect emulsion. Under the microscope the oil globules will be discovered of very minute and very uniform size, rendering it easy of digestion and assimilation. This is of the utmost importance, since, in diseases of low type and in convalescence from most diseases, the stomach is deli- cate and weak, and substances imperfectly prepared and therefore difficult of digestion, do harm instead of good, by becoming sources of irritation. 10 grains of the com- bined Hypophosphites of Calcium and Sodium are con- tained in each fluidounce ; they are not simply suspended in the emulsion, but are dissolved in the menstruum of which 40 percent, consists of the purest Norwegian Cod Liver Oil. Dose, for an adult, one tablespoonful three times a day ; for children, % to 1 or 2 teaspoonfuls, accord- ing to age. AROMATIC COD LIVER OIL WITH LACTO-PHOS- PHATE OF CALCIUM. (Emulsion.) A combination of Lacto-Phosphate of Calcium with pure Norwegian Cod Liver Oil in the form of a pleasantly flavored emulsion. Each fluidounce contains 8 grains of Lacto-Phosphate of Calcium. Highly recommended as a remedy in consumption, coughs, bronchitis and other pulmonary and scrofulous affections. Dose, for an adult, 1 to 2 dessertspoonfuls three times a day, after meals ; children, X to 1 teaspoonful, according to age. AROMATIC COD LIVER OIL WITH PHOSPHATE OF CALCIUM. (Emulsion.) Consists of pure Norwegian Cod Liver Oil combined with freshly precipitated Phosphate of Calcium, in the pro- portion of 20 grains of the latter to the fluidounce of emulsion. Dose, for an adult, 1 tablespoonful three times a day. GLYCERIN SUPPOSITORIES. 178 GLYCERIN SUPPOSITORIES. Containing 95 per cent. Pure Glycerin. A HARMLESS AND CONVENIENT APERIENT. The universal prevalence of constipation among all classes and all ages has always engaged the attention of the physician in seeking for a remedy at once simple, harmless and con- venient, yet efficacious. This was found a few years ago in the use of 1 or 2 teaspoonfuls of Glycerin by Enema. It proved quite efficient and was considered a great advance on the means formerly used, yet it had its inconveniences. There must be a bottle of glycerin and a syringe with which to use it. The Suppository, containing 95 per cent, of pure Glycerin, entirely overcomes all objections and inconveni- ences. Now the remedy is dry and compact, is easily carried and just as easily used. It is cleanly, harmless and generally gives an adequate evacuation within a short period of time. From the long continued use of Glycerin in Gynaecology it is well established that it is a slight irritant and stimulant to mucous membranes, withdrawing an abundant flow of thin serosity from the blood-vessels. Hence, when intro- duced into the rectum it acts by softening the faecal accu- mulation by the flow of serosity and exciting a reflex peris- talsis by its local irritant action. The Suppository will be found to act much more thorough- ly if allowed to remain for 15 to 30 minutes, by resisting the first sensation produced by its presence. To produce the desired effect it is not necessary that the entire Suppository should dissolve ; for immediately after being inserted a flow of pure Glycerin begins from the Suppository, and this at once begins to produce the physiological effect. This any one can demonstrate by suspending a Suppository in a glass of water, when the exosmosis of Glycerin will be observed in a thick stream. GLYCERIN SUPPOSITORIES. 179 Owing- to the powerful affinity of Glycerin for water it was found to be necessary to protect the Suppositories from the air. The air- and water-tight covering of Sharp & Dohme’s Glycerin Suppositories will prove to be the best mode for preserving them from all change in any temperature. The shape of the Suppositories is that of a double cone, which experience shows to be the most useful. The air-tight covering is easily removed by grasping both ends of the Suppository with the fingers and giving a slight twisting and pulling motion. When intended for small children or infants, the Supposi- tory can readily be cut in two or trimmed to any size desired. Physicians will please specify Sharp Sc Dohme's , or S. Sc D.’s. 180 ERGOTOLE. kftGOfOLk. A new preparation of Ergot of Rye, specially made for hypodermic use, by a new process ; representing all the active principles of Ergot in a very concen- trated form, and entirely freed from all inert and irritating constituents. Used hypodermically it causes ifeither pain nor abscess, and keeps perfectly without precipitation for any length of time. It has been extensively tried in hospital and private practice, hypodermically and administered by the mouth, proving- uniformly efficacious, and it has been pronounced the most efficient preparation of Ergot in use, one minim representing the full therapeutic strength of about 2 % grains of the best Spanish Ergot. The use of Ergot in practical therapeusis, especially by hypodermic injections, having been largely extended, we have for some time been desirous of providing the medical profession with an efficient and reliable preparation which would be free from the objections which inhere in even the best standard preparations of Ergot at present in use. The physiological and therapeutic properties of Ergot, unlike many other potent drugs, e. g. Belladonna, Nux Vom- ica, etc., do not reside in any one definite alkaloid or fixed principle. Ergot is a very complex organism, and its most active constituents are uncrystallizable. Each of these, when obtained in the highest attainable state of purity, produces some one of the special and characteristic effects of Ergot, and some even in an exaggerated form. But they are all prone to decomposition and change when isolated and kept in solution. Hence to obtain the full therapeutic effects of Ergot a preparation must be used which contains all the active principles in the natural combination as we find them in the crude drug. ERGOTOLE. 181 In the new preparation which we now have the pleasure of presenting to the profession and for which we have adopted the name “ ERGOTOLE,” to distinguish it from all other preparations of Ergot, we claim to have fully accom- plished this object as the result of several years of careful study and of laboratory work. It contains in solution all the active principles of Ergot in an unchanged condition, whilst the irritating and inert constituents have been elimi- nated from it by our new special method. “ Ergotole ” thoroughly represents all the valuable thera- peutic properties of Ergot of Rye in a very concentrated form, and will be found when used by the hypodermic method bland and unirritating, causing no more pain than any ordinary hypodermic injection (if used with clean asep- tic needles). If administered by the mouth it will prove to be divested of all irritating and nauseating properties which are so objectionable in the officinal fluid extract. Finally it will be found to keep perfectly without precipitation in any climate and for any length of time, with the absolute preser- vation of its therapeutic properties. Illustrative of this fact we mention that we have just re- ceived a report from an eminent physician of Baltimore, who state&rthat he has had uniform and satisfactory results in over fifty cases of various diseases. These results were obtained from a supply of our Ergotole which was prepared in April, 1888 (over 2 years ago), and kept in a cork-stopped bottle only partially filled. THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS. The great majority of therapeutists claim that Ergot is a direct stimulant to the vaso-motor nerve centres and increases the general arterial pressure, while the capillary circulation is decreased. Some authorities still believe that it acts peripherally upon the muscular coats of vessels and the nerves connected with them. In either view of its physiological action the thera- peutic indications for its use are the same. Prof. Roberts Bartholow, in his work on Materia Medica, states that it has been used with great success in acute dysentery and also in the chronic form which follows the acute . It has proved beneficial in chronic diarrhoea. Dr. W. C. Dabney, of Virginia, urges the local application of Ergot in all affections of the mucous membranes character- ized by enlarged vessels, such as conjunctivitis, cervicitis, pharyngitis, etc. It has also been used successfully in 182 ERGOTOLE. gonorrhoea and in hyperaemic affections of the skin, as acme rosacea, etc. It has been injected with success into hemorrhoids, and into the perineum for relaxation of the sphincter and for prolapsus of the rectum. It is undoubtedly beneficial in cases of enlarged heart from dilatation of the cavities without valvular disease, especially when used in conjunction with digitalis. Its value is un- questioned in the treatment of aneurisms. In obstetric practice, as is generally known, it is indicated when the parts are fully dilated and the pains are deficient or weak, and when post-partum hemorrhage is threatened, and it is best administered hypodermically. It has a wide range of usefulness in diseases of females, as sub-nnvolution, congestive dysmenorrhoea , chronic metritis, etc. Probably its most extensive field of usefulness outside of obstetric practice is in the various hemorrhages from internal organs, as in haemoptysis, hcematuria, etc., and in the hemor- rhagic diathesis. When vertigo, epistaxis , headache and tinnitus aurium are due to miliary aneurism , of intracranial arterioles , most favorable results are to be expected from the use of Ergot ; also a sluggish circulation of intracranial veins, usually due to chronic arteritis, and accompanied by hebetude of mind, giddiness, etc., is benefited by its use. ( Bartholow .) The use of Ergot, especially in connection with the bro- mides, has been more successful than any other treatment in epidemic spinal meningitis , congestion of the meninges and cord, acute myelitis, etc. When incontinence of urine, both nocturnal and diurnal, is caused by paralysis of the sphincter vesicce , it is usually relieved by its use. So also spermatorrhoea and paralysis of the bladder from over-distention. Da Costa first treated cases of diabetes insipidus success- fully with Ergot, and in these cases the remedy must be given in large doses and continued for a long time. Varicocele has been cured by its injection. In this case the hypodermic needle must be inserted among the veins, taking care not to puncture a vein. Varicose veins in other parts have also been relieved by inserting the needle under the skin in close proximity to the vein and injecting the Ergot so as to lie in contact with but not to enter the vein. ERGOTOLE. 183 Dr. J. E. Kelly and others highly laud it as giving immediate relief in the first stage of pulmonary congestion , when used hypodermically (77. S. Dispensatory, Ed. 1889). “Most recently, Surgeon-Major Comerford, of India, has been using the fluid extract of Ergot with marked success in the first stages of cholera and in severe diarrhoea. The drug was used hypodermically in ten-minim doses. In every instance its use was followed by complete success, the diarrhoea being quickly checked and collapse averted. These results were, however, only obtainable during the first stages of the disease.” ( N . T. Med. Joiirn., Dec. 7th, ’89.) It will be found that Ergot when given hypodermically will produce the best results in most of the cases where its use is indicated. Dose of Ergotole.— 5 to 20 minims hypodermically. 5 minims to X fluidrachm by the mouth. It will make a perfectly clear mixture with water. Ergotole is put up in 1-oz. bottles only. Never sold in bulk. 184 PAN-PEPTIC TABLETS. PAN-PEPTIC TABLETS. Pepsin, Pancreatin, Caffeine, with Acid Lacto- Phosphate of Calcium, and Celery. AN EFFICIENT TONIC DIGESTIVE COMBINATION. We Leg leave to call the attention of physicians to our new combination of the digestive ferments with Caffeine and Celery, which has proved in practice to be a most efficient and prompt remedy in many cases of impaired digestion or Dyspepsia and its concomitants, slow and painful digestion, heartburn, foul eructations after meals, nausea, acidity and flatulence, promptly relieving that unpleasant feeling of fullness and oppression so commonly experienced after meals. Tt is now unnecessary to dwell upon the value of the digestive ferments, Pepsin and Pancreatin. They will ac- complish the primary digestion of food in a glass vessel ; how much more then will they effect in the human stomach. This fact is well established by actual experience. But in order to render the action of these digestives more permanent the addition of some tonic is needed. Practical test and observation have shown that Caffeine , as a pure alkaloid, is the best available tonic for combination with the digestive ferments. It does not hinder or retard their action, as, according to recent investigations, the ordinary bitter tonics are said to do, but, as stated in the National Dispen- satory, it exerts a stimulant action not only on the nervous system generally , hut especially upon the stomach and bowels ; “ there can he no doubt that it quickens gastric digestion and relieves the sense of plenitude in the stomach , stimulates the secretion of bile, and augments the peristaltic action of the intestines , thereby promoting defecation PAN-PEPTIC TABLETS. 185 Prof. Bartholow, of Philadelphia, in his text-book of Ma- teria Medica, 7th Ed., 1890, says : Caffeine is a useful stomachic tonic. It increases the appetite and the digestive power , and diminishes the tissue waste. The Acid Lacto-phosphate of Calcium also contributes to the tonic action of the tablets and aids to build up the general system ; whilst a small quantity of that refreshing aromatic and nerve stimulant, Celery, imparts a pleasant flavor and acts as an appetizer. Pan-Peptic Tablets will be found most efficient in all forms of Indigestion and Dyspepsia caused by a deficient secretion of gastric juice. Nausea , headache , indisposition to mental exertion, dullness of spirits, fullness and oppression about the stomach will yield rapidly to a few doses ; especi- ally when these symptoms and others are brought on by excess in diet, either as to quantity or richness, or by alcoholic indulgence, will these tablets prove beneficial. One or two tablets taken an hour before meal-time, instead of an alco- holic stimulant, will produce a keen appetite for food. Each tablet contains 1 grain pure Pepsin, 1 grain purePan- creatin, % grain pure Caffeine, with Acid Lacto-phosphate of Calcium and Celery. Dose— O ne or two tablets immediately after eating is the usual rule, but they may be taken at any time when feeling oppressed about the stomach, troubled with flatulence or in- clined to headache. For children, the tablets should be crushed and one-fourth to one-half given in water, accord- ing to age. 186 ABRIDGED TABLE OF DISEASES. An Abridged Table of Diseases.

To assist the memory , we give a compend of diseases , to the treatment of which our soluble sugar- and gelatin-coated pills , or our pink granules , are adapted. The list of diseases , as well as that of the remedies suggested , is necessarily very brief , our aim being not to dictate to the judgment of the practitioner , but merely to call to his mind agents contained in our pills that are recommended by the highest therapeutic authorities. The judgment of the physician also will readily extend the applicability of these agents to other diseased conditions. ABORTION. Pil.

From the Latest Sources. ^"Use the Stomach Pump at once whenever poasible. Where it is necessary to vomit , it can he induced most quickly and surely by injecting hypodermically Sharp & Dohme's Hypo- dermic Tablets of Apomorphine. Inorganic Poisons. Acids. Acetic. Citric. Muriatic. Sulphuric. Antidotes. Carbonates of sodium, potassium, cal- cium, and magnesium. Avoid giv- ing water in poisoning by sulphuric acid, as the mixture will produce great heat. Treat subsequent in- flammation in the usual way. Nitric. Oxalic. For these give only carbonate of lime, or magnesia, chalk, whiting, or tea- spoonful of air-slaked lime. Prussic. Cherry Laurel Water. Nitrobenzole. Oil of Bitter Almonds. Ammonia, properly diluted, given in- ternally and by the hypodermic method. Liquid chlorine by the mouth has proved useful. Cold douche to the head. Carbolic. There is no special antidote. Give oil, milk, or white of egg freely ; best done by introducing and with- drawing them by the stomach pump. Antimony. Butter of Antimony. Oxide of Antimony. Tartar Emetic. Empty stomach as quickly as possible by large draughts of tepid fluids containing or followed by vegetable astringents, as green tea, nut galls, tannic acid, etc. The sedative effects are counteracted by hypodermic in- jection of caffeine, or ether, etc. Arsenic. White Arsenic , or Arsenic Acid. Yellow Arsenic. Orpiment. Realgar. Scheele's Green. Paris Green. Fly-stone. Empty stomach by hypodermic injec- tion of apomorphine, then admin- ister very freely the hydrated ses- quioxide of iron, or the precipitated carbonate mixed with water ; repeat every five minutes ; apply hot water to extremities, and give ammonia, brandy, etc., against the depression. 194 POISONS AND ANTIDOTES. Inorganic Poisons. Chloral Hydrate . Antidotes. Coffee by mouth, or caffeine and am- monia ; also, strychnine hypodermi- cally, as the physiological antago- nist. Copper And its Salts. Blue-stone. Verdigris. The green of pickles. Give albumen in the form of milk, white of eggs, etc., freely. Vinegar is injurious. Subsequent symptoms must be treated as they arise, on general principles. Creosote. Oil or albumen freely administered. Iodine. Give at once wheat flour, starch, etc., mixed with water. An insoluble compound is formed. Lead. Sugar of Lead. White Lead , or Carbonate of Lead. Litharge. Goulard's Extract. Sulphate of magnesium largely di- luted in water, followed by hypo- dermic injection of apomorphine; then again sulphate of magnesium to purge away any remains of the poison. Pain must be met by hypo- dermic use of morphine with atro- pine. Strychnine subcutaneously is beneficial if paralysis ensues. Mercury. White and Red Pre- cipitate. Corrosive Sublimate. Vermilion. Albumen, as white of eggs, milk, wheat flour, etc., given freely ; also a mixture of 7 parts powder of iron with 4 parts flowers of sulphur has been recommended. Silver. Lunar Caustic. Common salt freely given. Zinc. Acetate. Sulphate , or White Vitriol. Copious use of warm water to relieve vomiting. Solution of carbonate of sodium will decompose the sul- phate. Milk and white of eggs. Phosphorus. Matches. Give a hypodermic of apomorphine promptly ; -then give magnesia, sus- pended in water freely ; also mucila- ginous drinks. Treat inflammation as usual. POISONS AND ANTIDOTES. - 195 Acronarcotic and Narcotic Poisons. The best and most scientific treatment of these is to administer the physiological antagonist hypodermically. Where this is known it will be given below. Where we have no physiological antagonist, vomiting should be excited ; then strong coffee should be given ; ammonia and ether hypodermically ; the bowels thoroughly cleansed by copious injections of soap and water. The electric battery is often useful, and artificial respiration has often saved life. Poisons. Aconite. Physiological Antagonist. Atropine hypodermically, and treat on general principles. Belladonna and Atropine. Morphine hypodermically, and treat on general principles. Bloodroot. Physiological antagonist not known, but as it acts depressingly on the spinal cord, &c., atropine may prove of benefit. Calabar Bean and Physostigmine. Atropine. Cocculus Indicus. Picrotoxin. Physiological antagonist not known. Treat on general principles as above. Colchicum. Treat on general principles. Dog's Bane. Treat on general principles. Ergot and \ Ergotin. Treat on general principles. Foxglove or Digitalis. Morphine and ammonia hypodermi- cally; strong coffee and wine inter- nally. Oelsemium. Morphine hypodermically; also am- monia, coffee, and wine internally. Hellebore. Evacuate poison ; ammonia and ether hypodermically; alcohol internally. Hemlock or Conium. Evacuate poison ; ammonia and ether hypodermically; alcohol internally; heat to surface of body. Henbane or Hyoscyamus. Evacuate poison ; morphine in small but repeated doses hypodermically; coffee ; stimulants ; heat to ex- tremities ; cold to the head. Lobelia. General principles as above. 196 POISONS AND ANTIDOTES. Poisons. Physiological Antagonist. Nux Vomica. Strychnia. Chloral hydrate subcutaneously until symptoms cease. Bignon has lately stated that he has saved animals poisoned by strychnine, even after tetanic spasms, by injecting cocaine hypodermically until delirium set in. Opium and Morphine. Atropine. Poison Oak. No antagonist known, but fluid ex- tract of gelsemium internally, and largely diluted applied to eruption, is said to be beneficial. Treat on general principles. Stramonium. Morphine hypodermically. Tobacco and Nicotine. Evacuate the poison; subsequently stimulants. Veratrum Viride. Diffusible stimulants ; alcohol hypo- dermically, and by rectum if stomach will not retain it. Table for Adjusting Doses to age. While giving a general guide, it is well to state that no accurate table can be formed. The following is approximate. Children are more susceptible to the action of Morphine than adults, while they are less so to Belladonna.
