 the hope that our efforts, in this direction, may continue to gain 
 for us a confidence and feeling that our experience covering as 
 it has, a period of over forty years and comprising deep scientific 
 research and skillful manipulations, in conjunction with a con- 
 scientious desire to produce only the best, should at least war- 
 rant us in claiming a perfection of manufacture unexcelled. 
 
 Such facts are worthy the attention of Practitioners who are 
 called upon to battle with disease, and who must in using ready 
 prepared medicines, depend upon a correctness of manufacture 
 to gain the looked for therapeutical effects, whereby their own 
 reputations are sustained and the ills of their patients alleviated. 
 
 It may be well, in this connection, to reiterate that our en- 
 deavors have always been directed towards the production 
 of first-class preparations, regardless of cost and passing the 
 question of extreme cheapness which so often arises through 
 competition and an anxiety to dispose of products ; all of which 
 very naturally has a tendencv to depreciate quality correspond-

 We maintain that quality is of primary importance and in 
 this we flatter ourselves that we have received the undivided

 INTRODUCTION. 
 
 ^THERAPEUTICS (which word is derived from the 
 - * Greek therapeuo, I wait upon, I attend upon the 
 
 cine is any substance which may be used in alleviating 
 the sick; medicines are therefore therapeutic agents. 
 But other agents, such as the forces of nature, (light, heat, 
 eleCtricity, eCt. , ) actions of the physician or nurse (surgi- 
 cal operations, massage, etc.) and efforts of the patient 
 himself (dieting, exercise, etc.), are also used in alleviat- 
 ing the sick, and must therefore be classed as therapeu- 
 tic agents, but they are not medicines. This latter class 
 of therapeutic agents need not be considered in this little 
 volume but a short description of the many little details 
 in connection with the first class, which so easily slip the 
 memory and which no physician should be ashamed to 
 look up in a convenient book, will be given in the fol- 
 lowing pages. The author disclaims all intention of 
 teaching the reader anything that he does not or should 
 not already know, and begs simply to lay this book 
 before the medical public as a convenient vade mecum or 
 easy book of reference, wherewith to refresh the mem- 
 ory and to which to turn in moments of doubt. 
 
 Medicines are administered as therapeutic agents iv 
 a variety of ways for the purpose of combating disease, 
 and should be seledted for a given case, so that their 
 physiological aCtion upon the system, or part of the 
 same, shall counteract the abnormal condition present 
 and bring about a return to the normal state. For 
 instance, Pilocarpin has the physiological effeCt of 
 
 ^ sick, I alleviate), means the explanation of the 
 
 m modus operandi of medicines (Dunglison), and a medi-

 increasing the secretion of the sweat, and of stimulating 
 the glands secreting watery fluids, such as the tears and 
 salivary glands, it is therefore indicated in cases in which 
 suppression of secretion exists, as for instance, in the 
 febrile stages of many diseases, the immediate effedt 
 Deing a profuse sweating and a consequent lowering of 
 the temperature. Or again, if we use Atropia in the eye 
 for the purpose of breaking up adhesion of the iris, we 
 make use of the physiological adtion of the drug wdiich 
 is to dilate the pupil. These examples will show the 
 meaning of the above definition. But most medicines 
 have more than one definite physiological adtion and it 
 becomes necessary to enhance the one or counteract the 
 other, which may be done by combining medicines. For 
 instance, if we give small doses of Calomel for its adtion 
 upon the liver and the alimentary canal, we can enhance 
 its adtion by combining it with an alkali such as Bicar- 
 bonate of Soda ; or if we give Aloes as a drastic purge we 
 can mitigate the griping produced by the drug by com- 
 bining with it some aromatic, as cardamom or some essen- 
 tial oil, as oil ot cloves. 
 
 Medicines are also combined in order to produce 
 their physiological effedt upon different parts of the sys- 
 tem at the same time, as for instance, when a mixture of 
 Potassium Bromide, Potassium Cyanide, Extradt Flui- 
 dum Prunus Virginiana, syrup and water is given as 
 an expedlorant or cough mixture. In this instance the 
 Potassium Bromide is intended as a nerve sedative, the 
 Potassium Cyanide as a sedative to allay the irritation 
 of the mucous membrane of the respiratory tradt, the 
 Prunus Virginiana as a tonic expedlorant and the syrup 
 and water as a vehicle. And finally medicines are com- 
 bined with a view to make them more agreeable to the 
 senses of the patient, and in some degree rob them of 
 their nauseous qualities. 
 
 It should, however, always be borne in mind when 
 combining medicines, that some drugs are antagonistic

 to each other in their physiological action, or that they 
 may form new chemical compounds when brought 
 together or when introduced into the system, or that 
 they will make a nauseous mixture when combined. 
 
 Medicines may be administered in a variety of ways, 
 one or the other of which should be selected according 
 to circumstances. Thus, the usual method of giving 
 medicines is by the mouth, to be swallowed and absorbed 
 into the system, but it may also be given by injection 
 into the bowels, or under the skin by the hypodermatic 
 method, or it may be given by inhalation to be absorbed 
 by the lungs, or may be used as a topical application to 
 the skin or mucous membranes of the body. 
 
 Physicians in larger cities and towns do not usually 
 dispense medicines to their patients dire<5t, but write an 
 order for the drugs they wish to give, which is termed a 
 prescription. This prescription is taken to a druggist or 
 apothecary, whose duty it is to mix the drugs or medi- 
 cines ordered by the physician for the patient, and who 
 usually keeps the prescription on file, becoming thus the 
 custodian of the same. In these prescriptions certain 
 abbreviations and signs are used which are remnants of 
 the old and now obsolete style of writing prescriptions in 
 Latin, which was done in order to prevent the patient 
 from knowing what was prescribed for him. But since 
 these abbreviations and signs are still in use in prescrip- 
 tion writing, a list of the more common ones is given. 
 All those referring to the diredlions for the patient are 
 left out because this part of the prescription is intended 
 to be read by him and should therefore under all circum- 
 stances be written in plain legible English.

 The dose of the medicines to be given is of the 
 utmost importance, and the physician in writing a pre- 
 scription should never be uncertain as to the corredl 
 maximum or minimum dose to be given in any case. He 
 should always take into consideration the age of the 
 patient, idiosyncrasies toward certain drugs, if such exist 
 in the individual, and tolerance of the system to the 
 effects of medicines produced by continued use or by 
 other conditions, and should carefully gauge accordingly, 
 the dose of the medicines he wishes to prescribe. Care- 
 lessness in this portion of the art of prescription writing 
 is very dangerous, for the difference between a poison 
 and a medicine in most instances lies only in the amount 
 given. And further, many drugs have a different physi - 
 ological action when given in different doses, as for 
 instance, Ipecac which adts as an anti-emetic and stom- 
 achic in doses of and ^ grains, while if given in doses 
 of from ^ to grains it adts as an expectorant and 
 diaphoretic, and finally if the dose is increased to 2 to 4 
 grains it a< 5 ts as an emetic.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 
 
 The amount of each drug in a prescription is express- 
 ed in grains, scruples, drachms, ounces and pounds ; if 
 it be a liquid, in minims, drachms, ounces, pints and 
 gallons, which weights and measures are designated by 
 the foilowning signs :

 • The amount of the compound which is to be taken 
 by the patient at a dose, and the number of times in the 
 twenty-four hours of the interval of time which is to 
 elapse between the doses is written in plain English, and 
 as fluid measures, spoons, tumblers and cups are gene- 
 rally designated, although it w T ould be safer and more 
 correct to order the patient to procure a medicine glass, 
 which is graduated into drachms and ounces, as the capa- 
 city of different spoons, tumblers, and cups varies greatly.

 In the same way it is safer to prescribe the small 
 amounts of liquids in minims and not in drops as is so 
 frequently done, because the number of drops in the fluid

 PRESCRIPTION WRITING. 
 
 In writing a prescription containing more than one 
 ingredient, a certain order of the different drugs should 
 always be observed, and the physiological, chemical and 
 pharmaceutical action of the different articles entering 
 into the compound should determine their position. The 
 main symptoms of the disease to be combated, calling 
 for a certain medicine to be gi^en, determines this latter 
 as the basis of the prescription, and it should be placed 
 at the head. The second place is taken by the adjuvant, 
 that drug or medicine which shall assist the basis in its 
 action, and more than one adjuvant may be used, follow- 
 ing each other according to their importance. The third 
 
PRESCRIPTION WRITING. 
 
 ii 
 
 place is taken by the corrective which counteracts certain 
 undesirable qualities of either the basis or the adjuvants, 
 and finally the vehicle is placed last on the list. The 
 next step is to determine the single dose of the basis and 
 adjuvants and of the corrective if the latter is needed, 
 and also to fix upon the number and size of the doses to 
 be taken by the patient, which latter will determine the 
 quantity of the vehicle sufficient to make up the full 
 amount of mixture, and finally the single dose of the 
 basis and adjuvants being multiplied with the number of 
 doses to be taken by the patient, gives the gross amount 
 of each of the drugs. For instance, Potassium Bromide, 
 Potassium Cyanide, Ext. fl. Prunus Virginiana, Syr. 
 Simplex and water are to be given as a cough mixture. 
 In this case the Cyanide is the basis, the Bromide and the 
 Prunus Virginiana the adjuvants, while the Syrup is the 
 corrective and the water the vehicle. A prescription 
 containing these ingredients should be written thus :

 POSOLOGICAL TABLE. 
 
 In this table an alphabetical list is given of the most com- 
 monly used drugs and their most valuable pharmaceutical 
 preparations, together with the minimum and maximum 
 dose for adults, in apothecary weights and in the metric system 
 and finally the common name of the drug or preparation, and 
 also the physiological action of the different drugs and their 
 preparations. The particular use to which these medicines are 
 put in combating disease cannot be added in a table of this 
 kind, nor is it necessary or advisable to do so, as the physician 
 must be the best judge what particular drug to use in a given 
 case, and should he be in doubt as to the best means to attain 
 the desired result, he has other books which he can refer to 
 for more detailed information as to the action of drugs.

 AID IN MEMORIZING DOSES. 
 
 To commit the pharmacopceal doses to memory without 
 something like artificial means, is next to an impossibility. 
 
 Here are laid down some general rules with their exceptions, 
 which are thoroughly reliable, and, as far as they go, tend to 
 render the memorizing of dosage a pleasure rather than a toil. 
 They are as follows : 
 
 1. The dose of all infusions is i to 2 ozs., except infusion of 
 digitalis, which is 2 to 4 drs. 
 
 2. Dose of all poisonous tinctures is 5 to 20 minims, except 
 tincture of aconite, Dig. and Nux. which is 1 to 5. 
 
 3. Dose of all wines is from x / 2 to 1 fl. dr., except wine of 
 opium, Colch. Radix, which is 5 to 15 minims. 
 
 4. Of all poisonous solid extracts you can give X gr.^ 
 except extract of calabar bean and Cannab. Ind. which is i t 6 to 
 X grains. Extr. Belladon., X g r * 
 
 5. Dose of all dilute acids is from 5 to 20 minims, except 
 dilute hydrocyanic acid, which is 2 to 8 minims. 
 
 6. Dose of all aquae is from 1 to 2 ozs., except aqua lauro 
 cerasus and aqua ammonia, which is 10 to 30 minims. 
 
 7. Of all syrups you can give 1 dr. 
 
 8. Dose of all mixtures is from X to 1 fl. oz. 
 
 9. Dose of all spirits is from X to 1 fl. dr. 
 
 10. Dose of all essential oils is from 1 to 5 minims. 
 
 Doses for Hypodermatic Injections and Formulae for 
 
 Solutions. 
 
 The hypodermatic method of medication is used in all cases 
 in which immediate and decided results are to be obtained. 
 There are several details in this method which should be care- 
 fully observed, and which are outlined in a few words. 
 
 1. The syringe and needles should be scrupulously clean 
 and the piston of the syringe should be air tight, which may be

 tested in the following manner. Place the index finger of one 
 hand over the top of the syringe and draw with the other hand 
 the piston out to its full length, then let go the piston, and if it 
 is air tight it will return to its former position. 
 
 2. The point of the needle should be as sharp as possible 
 and the little wire or bristle should be inserted immediately 
 after cleansing the needle to prevent rusting and clogging of 
 the capillary tube. 
 
 3. In making an injection care should be taken to expel 
 all air from the syringe and needle before the latter is inserted 
 into the fold of the skin, held between the thumb and fore fin- 
 ger of the left hand. 
 
 4. The needle should be thrust beneath the skin with a 
 quick motion, and in a slanting direction until its point is freely 
 movable in the subdermal cellular tissue. After the withdrawal 
 of the needle, the finger should be pressed over the puncture for 
 a few seconds to prevent the return of the fluid. 
 
 5. Veins, inflamed spots and bony prominences should be 
 avoided, unless the injection is made for a special purpose. 
 
 6. The fleshy part of the arms and legs and the abdomen 
 are the most convenient places for injections with the hypoder- 
 matic syringe, except in the case of corrosive sublimate solution, 
 which should always be injected under the skin of the back on 
 either side of the spinal column. 
 
 7. The solutions should be freshly made and filtered, and 
 should be neutral so as to prevent the formation of abscesses.

 Most of the more common remedies for hypodermatic medi- 
 cation are now manufactured in tablet form, each tablet containing 
 the required dose and readily soluble in water, so that the physi- 
 cian can carry a number of different drugs in his case, together 
 with the syringe and readily use them when occasion requires. 
 
 INCOMPATIBLES. 
 
 Incompatibles are those combinations of drugs in a prescrip- 
 tion which interfere with each other, either in a physiological 
 sense, that is, their physiological action is opposed, as for 
 instance Opium and Belladonna, or in a chemical sense where 
 two substances when brought in contact form a new chemical 
 compound different in action from either of the two compounds, 
 as for instance, Hydrochloric Acid and Calomel which forms 
 corrosive sublimate, or an acid and an alkali which neutralize 
 each other and form a salt with the evolution of gas. And 
 finally, in a pharmaceutical sense, when drugs are prescribed in 
 combination which will not make a mixture pleasant to the 
 senses, or which cannot be brought into the required form, as 
 for instance, the combination of Iron or its salts with any drug 
 containing Tannic Acid, which will. form the tannate of Iron or

 ink ; or a combination of oil and a watery extract which will 
 not mix. In this latter case however, the difficulty is overcome 
 by the art of pharmacy, which has devised means of mixing oil 
 and water in the form of an emulsion by the aid of other inert 
 substances. 
 
 The space of this little volume is too limited to give an 
 alphabetical table of incompatibles, and therefore, only the gene- 
 ral principles are given ; which however will be sufficient to aid 
 the memory of the reader and enable him to avoid glaring mis- 
 takes which might injure him in the estimation of his patients.

 POISONS AND THEIR ANTIDOTES. 
 
 WITH A FEW HINTS AS TO THE TREATMENT OF THE OASES, 
 
 It is frequently the case, especially in children or in crimi. 
 nal cases, that the particular poison which has been ingested, is 
 not known to the physician and he should then direct his atten- 
 tion to eliminating every trace of ingesta from the stomach by 
 
POISONS AND THtflR ANTlDOTKS. 
 
 37 
 
 giving a brisk emetic of mustard which is usually found in 
 every household, and if possible use the stomach pump. This 
 instrument works on the syphon principle and empties the 
 stomach of its contents more rapidly than an emetic would, and 
 is used in those cases in which emesis can not be induced in the 
 vr din ary way. Great care should be exercised in its use so as 
 not to injure the mucous membrane of the oesophagus or stom- 
 ach, particularly where irritant poisons have been swal- 
 lowed. 
 
 Calcined M agnesia, Charcoal and Sesqui Oxide of Iron in 
 combination sh ould next be given with a sufficient quantity of 
 water, and then the particular symptoms should be noted with a 
 view to determine the character of the poison, so that its phy- 
 ological action may be combated by appropriate remedies, and 
 this should be be put in writing so that in case the patient dies 
 and the physician is called on the witness stand he can refer to 
 his notes of the case. 
 
 * 
 
 Antidotes where the poison is known are divided into two 
 classes, chemical and physiological. The first class acts by 
 chemically decomposing the poison or forming with it inert 
 combinations, so as to destroy its action upon the system, while 
 the second class acts antagonistically to the physiological action 
 of the poison. Thus where an acid has been swallowed give an 
 alkali, such as magnesia or white wash scraped off the walls so 
 as to neutralize the acid, and if a depressant poison such as 
 opium is in the system, give stimulants such as friction with cold 
 water, coffee, atropia, and exercise.

 MARSHALL HALL’S READY METHOD IN ASPHYXIA. 
 
 I. Treat the patient instantly on the spot, in the open air, 
 freely exposing the face, neck and chest to the breeze, except in 
 severe weather. 
 
 II. In order to clear the throat, place the patient gently on 
 the face with one wrist under the forehead, that all fluid and 
 tongue itself may fall forward, leaving entrance to wind pipe free. 
 
 III*. To excite respiration, turn the patient slightly on his 
 side, and apply some irritating or stimulating agent to the 
 nostrils, as Veratrine, Dil. Ammonia, etc. 
 
 IV. Make the face warm by brisk friction ; then dash cold 
 water upon it. 
 
 V. If not successful lose no time to imitate respiration ; 
 place the patient on his face, and turn the body gently but com- 
 pletely, on one side and a little beyond ; then again on the face, 
 and so on alternately. Repeat these movements deliberately

 and perserveringly, fifteen times only in a minute. (When 
 patient lies on the thorax, this cavity is compressed by the 
 weight of the body and expiration takes place ; when he is 
 turned on the side, this pressure is removed and inspiration 
 occurs). 
 
 VI. When the prone position is resumed, make uniform 
 and efficient pressure along the spine, removing the pressure 
 immediately before rotation on the side. (The pressure aug- 
 ments the expiration, and rotation commences inspiration.) 
 Continue these measures. 
 
 VII. Rub the limbs upward, with firn? pressure and with 
 energy. (The object being to aid the return of venous blood to 
 the heart.) 
 
 VIII. Substitute for the patient’s wet clothing, if possible, 
 such other covering as can be instantly procured. Meantime, 
 and from time to time, to excite inspiration, let the smface of 
 the body be slapped briskly with the hand, 
 
 IX. Rub the body briskly until it is dry and warm, then 
 dash cold water upon it, and repeat the rubbing. 
 
 X. Avoid the immediate removal of the patient, as it 
 involves a dangerous loss of time ; also the use of the bellows 
 or any forcing instrument ; also the warm bath and all rough 
 treatment, 
 
 SIGNS OF PREGNANCY* 
 
 1. Suppression of the menses. 
 
 2. Nausea, vomiting and digestive disturbances up to the 
 fifth month, then disappearing to appear again for the first fort- 
 night of the ninth month. 
 
 3. Enlargement of the abdomen, at three or three and a 
 half months the hypograstic region becomes pouting and a small 
 protuberance perceptible growing regularly and more volumi- 
 nous during the remaining term of pregnancy. 
 
 4. The Fundus uteri, at the end of the third month, is on 
 a level with the superior strait ; at the end of the fourth month 
 
 ♦Stewart.

 WARNER’S REFERENCE BOOK. 
 
 the uterine tumor can be clearly perceived through the abdomi 
 nal walls, the fundus being midway between the pubis and 
 umbilicus ; end of fifth month, one finger’s breath below the 
 umbilicus ; at the end of sixth month, same distance above it ; 
 in the seventh month, four fingers above it ; in the eighth 
 month, five or six fingers above it; at the beginning of the ninth 
 month, reaches the epigastric region, gaining the borders of 
 the false ribs on the right side, but in the last fortnight of the 
 last month sinks a little lower. 
 
 5. Tumefaction of the breasts, accompanied with a sensa- 
 tion of prickling and tenderness sets in about the second month, 
 and at the fourth month is much augmented, at which time the 
 nipple becomes prominent, with discoloration of the areola, the 
 latter increases and the breasts present a spotted appearance. 
 
 6. Glandiform tubercles form in the breasts about the fifth 
 month and are fully developed about the eighth, when flow of 
 milk may set in. 
 
 7. Uterus has descended and is less movable in the first 
 two months, the neck inclining toward the left. 
 
 8. The umbilical ring is depressed, its bottom drawn down- 
 wards and backwards, the circumference the seat of a distressing 
 dragging sensation in the first two months ; less so in the fourth 
 and fifth months ; less hollow than before conception in the fifth 
 and sixth months ; the depression is wholly efaced and on a 
 level with the skin of the abdomen in the seventh month ; the 
 naval pouts out in the last two months and there are streaks and 
 stains on the abdomen, a brown line extending from pubis to 
 umbilicus. 
 
 9. Varicose and oedematous condition of the vulva and 
 lower extremities, from the seventh month and increasing 
 until term. 
 
 10. Quickening, or foetal movements, sounds of the foetal 
 heart and abdominal soufle, and foetal irregularities can be 
 detected about the fifth month. 
 
 11. Ballotement can be detected in the sixth month, but 
 more readily in the seventh, and obscurely during the eighth 
 month. 
 
SIGNS OF PRECNANCY- 
 
 43 
 
 12. Difficult respiration in the latter part of the eighth and 
 first part of the ninth months, but less oppressed during the 
 last fortnight. 
 
 13. Difficulty in walking during the last month. 
 
 14. Frequent desire to urinate, pains in loins and colic 
 during last fortnight of the ninth month. 
 
 15. The orifice of the os is round in the primiparae but more 
 patulous in the multiparae during the first two months ; the 
 periphery is at this time softened but more so during the third 
 and fourth months, the extremity of the finger can be inserted 
 in the os of the multiparae, while that of the primiparae is 
 rounded and closed ; the mucous membrane covering the lips 
 becomes softened and cedematous, also the intravaginal portion 
 of the neck.

 Table for Calculating the Duration of Pregnancy, and the 
 probable time of Labor. 
 
 Normal labor occurs in about 280 days from the beginning of the last 
 menstrual period ; that date having been ascertained the figures adjacent 
 to the right hand one of each colum will designate the time when the event 
 may be looked for. To illustrate : January 1st confinement would occur 
 October 8th ; February 1st, November 5th ; May 10th, February 14th. When 
 the days of the month terminate, the following month will be found at the 
 foot of the column.

DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING POST MORTEM EXAMINATIONS. 49 
 
 Directions for making Post Mortem Examinations. 
 
 In making a post mortem examination much time and labor 
 will be saved if the physician proceeds systematically and notes 
 everything in writing. In the following the reader will find a 
 few hints which may be useful to him in making post mortem 
 examinations, while he is referred for a more detailed descrip- 
 tion to such works, as Virchow’s Manual of Post-mortem Exam- 
 inations, Heath’s Manual of Minor Surgery, Dunglison’s Refer- 
 ence Book and others. 
 
 The instruments necessary are a dissecting case, to which is 
 added a bone saw, a hammer and chisel, and some strong surgi- 
 cal needles with stout linen thread well waxed for sewing up the 
 incissions made in the skin. The physician should also provide 
 himself with some strips of parchment paper for labeling speci- 
 mens for microscopical examination, waxed paper for wrapping 
 them up, and in cases of suspected poisoning with clean jars 
 for the contents of the stomach and intestines to be examined 
 chemically. If the examination is to be conducted in a private 
 honse, the family should provide several basins, hot and cold 
 water, soap and towels, as well as some protective covering for 
 the f.oor to prevent soiling the carpet. The physician should 
 be ar* careful as possible to avoid disfigurement of the body, 
 soili lg of the carpet or furniture of the room, and loud talking 
 whi :h might be heard by the relatives of the deceased and hurt 
 the r feelings. 
 
 In medico legal cases it is of the utmost importance that a 
 careful record be kept of everything in connection with the post 
 mortem examination, and this is also very desirable in ordinary 
 cases which are conducted for the purpose of determining the 
 pathology of the disease, and therefore the operator should have 
 paper and pen and ink to make the necessary notes. 
 
 The following four cardinal points should be borne in mind, 
 whereby the inquiry is systematised and much time and labor 
 is saved. 
 
5o 
 
 WARNER’S RKFER^NCE BOOK. 
 
 In medico legal cases note : 
 
 1. Was the individual viable and did he live ? 
 
 2. If he has lived how long has he been dead ? 
 
 3. The cause of death. 
 
 4. The pathology of the disease from which he died. 
 
 The latter point enters into the question only in ordinary 
 
 non medico legal cases. Nothing should be guessed at but 
 every fact stated correctly without inferences of any kind. 
 State the date and the hour of the day when the examination 
 was begun, and in ordinary cases how long after death. 
 
 External Appearances. — Note the position of the body, the 
 condition of the clothes, wounds or bruises, or other external 
 signs of violence, giving exact measurement of wounds, and 
 compare the same with any instrument which' may have been 
 found near the body. In case the body is not known, examine 
 the hair, the teeth and other peculiarities, such as moles, scars 
 or other distinctive features for identification of the body after- 
 wards. In ordinary cases only the rigor mortis need be noted. 
 
 After the hands and arms have been bared and carefully 
 anointed with carbolized oil or cosmoline to prevent poisoning, 
 make an incision into the skin from the upper edge of the ster- 
 num to the pubic bone, making a curve around the umbilicus. 
 Then cut down carefully through the superficial and deep fascia 
 of the abdominal walls an inch or so above the pubis, and lift- 
 ing the abdominal integument with the left hand, introduce the 
 knife with its back downwards into the cut and slit the abdo- 
 men open up to the diaphragm, cutting through the muscles 
 and peritoneum, thus exposing the abdominal viscera. Note 
 the position of the diaphragm, the relative position of the 
 abdominal viscera, the quantity and character of the fluid con- 
 tained in the cavity, without however as yet disturbing anything 
 by manipulation. Next open the thorax by dissecting the skin 
 and pectoral muscles from the sternum and costal cartilages 
 and then by cutting through the sterno-clavicular articulation 
 on either side, and through the costal cartilages as close to the 
 ribs as possible. Tift the lower end of the sternum and detach 
 the diaphragm and pleura from its under surface, when it can

 be lifted up and the thoracic viscera are exposed. Note amount 
 and character of fluid in pleural cavities, the color and size of 
 the lungs and heart, and their relative position. Examine and 
 note the condition of the different organs in the following order : 
 
 1. The pericardium and pericardial fluid. 
 
 2. Ventricles of heart, valves, auricles, large vessels. 
 
 3. Lungs, bronchi and trachea, mediastinal and other 
 glands. 
 
 4. Larynx. 
 
 5. Oesophagus. 
 
 6. Internal surface of ribs and spinal column after the 
 thoracic viscera have been removed. 
 
 In the same way examine the abdominal organs and note 
 their condition in the following order : 
 
 1. Stomach. — In suspected poisoning remove the organ 
 with its contents, empty the latter into a clean j ar, seal it and 
 label it, adding date and hour, then open the stomach along its 
 convexity and examine its mucous membrane, removing for 
 microscopical examination small pieces, say one inch square 
 from different portions of the organ. 
 
 2. Intestines with omentum, mesentery and glands. 
 
 3. Liver and gall bladder with duct. 
 
 4. Pancreas. 
 
 5. Spleen. 
 
 6. Kidneys with suprarenal capsules and ureters. 
 
 7. Abdominal vessels and ganglia. 
 
 8. Bla dder. 
 
 9. Uterus and its appendages. 
 
 In cases of sudden death in the female in which large effu- 
 sion of blood is found in the abdominal cavity, search for rup- 
 ture of sack of extra uterine pregnancy and carefully search the 
 blood clots for product of conception. In cases where it is 
 deemed necessary to examine the nerve centres, the brain and 
 spinal cord, the operator should place the cadaver upon the chest 
 and abdomen, with the head projecting beyond the edge of the 
 table, then part the hair across the vortex from ear to ear and 
 make an incision on this line down to the bone. The scalp can 
 
52

 then easily be drawn forward and reflected over the forehead 
 and backwards over the occiput, thus baring the whole cal- 
 varium. An incision is then made around the skull through the 
 occipito-frontalis and the temporal muscles, the line running 
 from about an inch above the eyebrows to the level of the upper 
 edge of the external ear, and from there to a point about one 
 inch above the occipital protuberance, thus forming a sharp 
 angle just behind the ear. This form of cut when executed with 
 the saw will remove a sufficiently large piece of the skull for 
 the examination of the brain, and which at the same time is held 
 in place by the scalp alone without wiring when the examina- 
 tion is completed. In making the saw cut, care should be taken 
 not to wound the dura mater and brain, but to depend upon the 
 leverage of the chisel to completely sever the bone. 
 
 The brain being exposed, examine the inner surface of the 
 skull cap for fractures, the surface of the dura mater, longitu- 
 dinal sinus, pia mater and brain ; then open dura mater and note 
 amount of cerebro-spinal fluid. Next make incisions into the 
 brain after having removed it from the cavity of the cranium, 
 with as much of the medulla oblongata as can be reached, from 
 before backward through the hemispheres and note the condi- 
 tion of the brain substance and its vessels, also open the ventri- 
 cles and make incisions into the cerebellum. 
 
 The last step in the examination is to open the spinal canal 
 and examine its contents ; to do this, make an incision through 
 the skin along the whole length of the spinal column, retract 
 the skin and then divide the muscles on either side of the spi- 
 nous processes of the vertebrae and dissect them back laterally, 
 thus exposing the lamina of the vertebrae. A saw cut is then 
 carried throughout the whole length of the spinal column on 
 either side of the spinous processes, and by the aid of the mallet 
 and chisel the bony vault is removed and the spinal cord exposed. 
 Kxamine the cord in situ and note the condition of the mem- 
 branes, the amount and character of the cerebro-spinal fluid 
 and the superficial vessels. Then remove the cord from its bed 
 after having cut the nerve trunks on either side, and make 
 transverse incisions at intervals of one or one and a half inches,

 so as to examine the substance of the cord. If it is to be pre- 
 served for microscopic examination, the cord and portions of 
 the brain should be placed in dilute alcohol or in Muellers* fluid 
 All organs should be weighed and their weights recorded ana 
 compared with the normal weight as given by Quain and Sharpey

 After the examination is completed the body should be 
 sewed up and brought into as near a natural shape as possible, 
 all traces of blood should be washed from the skin and clean 
 clothes should be put on it before the family is admitted into the

 PARVULES.* 
 
 The great advantage of giving medicines in the form of So/u- 
 ble Parvules is, that in the first place, remedies may be admin- 
 istered in an agreeable form in definitely sub-divided doses thus 
 obtaining the physiological action of the drug, and secondly, 
 that any number of drugs may be combined in any desirable 
 dose by the physician himself without the aid of the druggist, 
 and without the necessity of weighing or measuring tinctures, 
 powders or extracts and combining them in an agreeable form*

 lack of appetite in the morn- 
 ing, induced by over indul- 
 gence in food or stimulants 
 during the night, these pills 
 are unsurpassed ; they should 
 be taken in doses of two pills 
 before retiring or in the morn- 
 ing at least one hour before 
 eating; the first mentioned 
 time is the most desirable as 
 the effects are more decided, 
 owing to the longer period for 
 action and the natural rest is 
 more fully experienced through 
 their mild but effective in- 
 fluence. 
 
 As a dinner pill, Pil. Diges- 
 tiva is unequalled and may be 
 taken in doses of a single pill 
 either before or after eating.

 Quiniae Sul. y 2 gr. 
 
 Iodoform therapeutically is 
 alterative, nervine, sorbefa- 
 cient, antiperiodic, and anaes- 
 thetic. 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 ner- 
 vous strength, it calms speedily 
 the most severe pains. 
 
 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 dis- 
 eases : 
 
 Neuralgia of every descrip- 
 tion, chronic rheumatism, con- 
 sumption, scrofula, ophthal- 
 mia, chronic ulcerations, and 
 skin diseases, syphilis, and 
 certain affections of the neck 
 of the bladder and prostate 
 gland, and whenever a power- 
 ful alterative agent is needed. 
 This quality of Iodoform is 
 greatly enhanced in the major- 
 ity of cases, by the addition 
 of pure iron, Fer. per hydrog.

 LITHIA TABLETS

 TO BE USED FOR MAKING LITHIA WATER. 
 
 An elegant, portable and effectual remedy in 
 
 GOUT, RHEUMATISM, GRAVEL, STONE IN THE BLADDER, 
 ECZEMA, BRIGHT’S DISEASE, ETC., ETC. 
 
 Each tablet contains 3 grains Ci- 
 trate of Lithia and affords a con- 
 venient method for administering 
 definite quantity of soluble Lithia in 
 a pleasant form, besides the advan- 
 tage of having fresh water with each 
 dose ; presenting a therapeutic value 
 of a higher standard than the various 
 spring waters which oftentimes con- 
 tain but an indefinite quantity of 
 the needed salt. 
 
 Our compressed Lithia tablets are 
 convenient for the preparation of 
 artificial Lithia water, useful in the 
 treatment of sub-acute and chronic 
 cases of Rheumatism, Rheumatic 
 Gout, Uric Acid, Diathesis, Renal 
 Calculi composed of Uric Acid, Irrit- 
 able Bladder, from excess of acid in 
 the urine. 
 
 The dose is usually one tablet in 
 a glass of fresh water three times 
 daily, except otherwise directed by 
 the physician in charge. 
 
 A tablet dropped in a tumbler of 
 fresh water, will, in a few moments, 
 entirely dissolve with effervescence, 
 
 producing a pleasant, sparkling draught. 
 
 The dose of artificial Lithia water, as prepared from Warner & Co.’s 
 Compressed Tablets, can be regulated very readily by dissolving one 
 or more in any desired quantity of water, from a tumblerful to a pint, 
 quart or gallon, and taken as may be indicated.

 PANCREOPEPSINE. 
 
 (DIGESTIVE FLUID.) 
 
 This Preparation contains in an agreeable form the 
 natural and assimilative principles of the digestive fluids, 
 comprising Pancreatine, Pepsin, Lactic and Muriatic 
 Acids. The best means of re-establishing a healthy con- 
 dition, where the power to digest and assimilate food is 
 impaired, is to administer principles capable of commu- 
 nicating the elements necessary to convert the food into 
 nutriment. 
 
 The value of Liquid Pancreopepsine in this connec- 
 tion has been fully established, and we can recommend 
 it with confidence to the Medical Profession as superior 
 to Pepsin alone. It aids in digesting animal and vege- 
 table cooked food, fatty and amylaceous substances, and 
 may be employed in all cases where, from prolonged sick- 
 ness or other causes, the alimentary processes are not in 
 their normal condition.

THE MOST PERFECT FORM OF DOSIMETRY 
 
 IS AFFORDED BY 
 
 j PARVULES. f 
 
 O — O 
 
 The term Parvule, from Parvum (small), is applied to a new 
 class of remedies (Warner & Co.’s) in the form of minute pills, 
 containing minimum doses for frequent repetition in cases of 
 children and adults. It is claimed by some practitioners that 
 small doses, given at short intervals, exert a more salutary 
 effect. Sydney Ringer, M. I)., in his recent works on Thera- 
 peutics, sustains this theory in a great variety of cases.

 DOSE. — One to two every hour. Two of above Parvules, 
 taken every hour, until five or six doses are administered (which 
 will comprise but half a grain), produce an activity of the liver 
 which will be followed by bilious dejections and beneficial 
 effects, that twenty grains of Blue Mass or ten grains of Calo- 
 mel rarely cause, and sickness of the stomach does not usually 
 follow.

Parvules of Corrosive Sublimate, 
 
 (Warner & Co.) 
 
 Dr. Ringer, in his treatise, lays great stress upon the efficacy 
 of minimum doses of Corrosive Sublimate in the treatment of 
 Diarrhoea, whether the stools contain blood or not. 
 
 Parvules of Aloin, 
 
 (Warner & Co.) 
 
 Med. Prop. — A most desirable Cathartic. 
 
 The most useful application of this Parvule is in periodic 
 irregularities — Dysmenorrhcea and Amenorrhoea. They should 
 be given in doses of one or two every evening at and about the 
 expected time. 
 
 Dos^. — Four to six at once. This number of Parvules, taken 
 at any time, will be found to exert an easy, prompt and ample 
 cathartic effect, unattended with nausea, and in all respects fur- 
 nishing the best aperient and cathartic preparation in use. For 
 habitual constipation, they replace when taken in single par- 
 vules the various medicated waters, avoiding the quantity 
 required by the latter at a dose, which nils the stomach and 
 deranges the digestive organs. 
 
 Parvules of Podophyllin, 
 
 (Warner & Co.) 
 
 Med. Prop. — Cathartic, Cholagogue. 
 
 Two Parvules of Podophyllin, administered three times a 
 day, will re-establish and regulate the peristaltic action and re- 
 lieve habitual constipation, add tone to the liver, and invigorate 
 the digestive functions. 
 
 Parvules of Arsenit: Potash, 
 
 (Warner & Co.) 
 
 This Parvule will be of great use to physicians, as two Par- 
 vules represent the equivalent of one drop of Fowler’s 
 Solution, so that physicians can regulate the dose by giving 
 one or more Parvules every hour. 
 
 Parvules of Nux Vomica, ~. 
 
 (Warner & Co.) 
 
 Nux Vomica, according to Ringer, is possessed of real cura- 
 tive powers for sick headache, accompanied with acute gastric 
 catarrh, whether due to error in diet, constipation, or no appar- 
 ent cause. He regards it, administered in small and frequently 
 repeated doses, as useful in many disturbances of the gastric 
 functions.

A NEW HYPODERMIC SYRINGE. 
 
 ASEPTIC, UNBREAKABLE, ACCURATE. 
 
 Always ready for use. No leather or rubber washer on 
 piston. No glass to break at a critical moment. 
 Piston one solid piece of metal. Gradua- 
 tions marked, in minums and cubic 
 centimeters, on piston. 
 
 Invented by Dr. C. W. Dennis. 
 
 The entire instrument can 
 be boiled to produce steri- 
 lization; this in itself is a 
 most important feature of the 
 new instrument possessed 
 by none of the old-fashioned 
 syringes. Each syringe is 
 packed in a handsome alumi- 
 num case, containing two 
 needles and four tablet tubes. 
 
 The construction of the 
 needle for this instrument 
 presents another valuable ad- 
 dition, in that having a screw 
 which forces the cone-shaped 
 head against corresponding 
 shoulder, making a perfectly 
 air-tight and solid joint, doing 
 away with the necessity of a 
 leather or other washer. 
 
 The construction of the 
 entire instrument is of metal, 
 heavily nickel-plated, with 
 the exception of a small cork 
 ring in the cap on barrel of 
 syringe, which upon being 
 screwed down, tightens the 
 ring around piston and serves 
 to take up any possible wear. 
 
 Syringe complete, $3 each.

 I NGLUVIN.— This is a preparation from the gizzard of the domestic 
 chicken — ventriculus callosus gallinaceus. Dose, gr. v. — j. 
 
 Ingluvin has the remarkable property of arresting certain kinds 
 of vomiting — notably the vomiting of pregnancy. It is a stomachic 
 
 tonic, and relieves indigestion, flatulence and dyspepsia. 
 
 The author’s experience is confirmatory of the statements which 
 have been put forth regarding the exceptional power of this agent to 
 arrest the vomiting of pregnancy. It can be administered in inflamma- 
 tory conditions of the mucous membrane, as it has no irritant effect. 
 Under ordinary circumstances, and when the object of its administra- 
 tion is to promote the digestive functions, it should be administered 
 after meals. When the object is to arrest the vomiting of pregnancy, 
 it should be given before meals.

 I NGLUVIN is a * * preparation said to be made of the gizzard 
 of the domestic chicken ( ventriculus callosus gallinaceus). Dose, 
 gr. v. — J}j. Ingluvin has. the remarkable property of arresting 
 certain kinds of vomiting — notably the vomiting of pregnancy. It is a 
 stomachic tonic, and relieves indigestion, flatulence and dyspepsia. 
 
 Recent investigations have shown that Ingluvin owes its curative 
 effects, not to any ferment corresponding to pepsin, but to a peculiar 
 bitter principle. This result is the more satisfactory, since such an 
 organ as the gizzard could hardly furnish the necessary quantity of a 
 digestive ferment to effect the results now known to be produced by 
 Ingluvin. 
 
 Under ordinary circumstances, and when the object of its administra- 
 tion is to promote the digestive function, it should be taken after meals. 
 When the object is to arrest the vomiting of pregnancy, it should be 
 given before meals. 
 
 But only the successful use of this agent and the apparent sincerity of 
 the composition as given to the public would seem to justify its mention 
 here.

 The above combination, which we have successfully and scientifically 
 put in pill form, produces, when taken into the stomach, Carbonate of the 
 Protoxide of Iron (Ferrous Carbonate) in a quickly assimilable condition. 
 
 This Pill contributed to make the reputation of Niemeyer, and the 
 following language, which speaks without comment, is taken from his 
 Text Book on the Practice of Medicine. 
 
 Prof. NIFMKYKR says: “For more than twenty years I have used 
 these pills almost exclusively in Chlorosis, and have witnessed such bril- 
 liant results from them in a large number of cases that I have never needed 
 any opportunity to experiment with other articles. At Madgeburg and 
 Greifswald I often had to send my recipe for the pills to a great distance, 
 my good fortune in the treatment of Chlorosis — to which, by-the-bv, I owe 
 the rapid growth of m y practice — having given me great repute as the pos- 
 sessor of a sovereign remedy against that disease.” 
 
 The dose of Pu : Chalybeate is from i to 4 at meal times and is recom- 
 mended and successfully used in the treatment of Pulmonary Phthisis or 
 Consumption, Anaemia and Chlorosis, Caries and Scrofulous Abscesses, 
 Chronic Discharges, Dyspepsia, Toss of Appetite, etc. 
 
 MGtfThe physician may see that he is obtaining exactly what he prescribes 
 by ordering in bottles of 100 each.

 It is truly stated by eminent practitioners that these pills 
 will cause the pale lips to become red and the rosy flush of 
 health to creep into the face in about two weeks’ time. 
 
 Le Progress Medicale : — “Iron is one of the most important principles 
 of the organism and the only metal the presence of which is indispensable 
 to the maintenance of life. It exists in all parts of the system, but nowhere 
 does it acquire such importance as in the blood. 
 
 The blood of a person in good condition contains about forty-five grains 
 of Iron ; when this amount is diminished a decline takes place, the appetite 
 fails, the strength is enfeebled, and the blood loses its fine natural color 
 and qualities. 
 
 In a great number of diseases such as anaemia, chlorosis, hemorrhages, 
 debility, etc., it sometimes happens that the blood has lost half its iron, 
 and, to cure these diseases, it is absolutely necessary to restore to the blood 
 the iron which it lacks, and great care should be exercised that the most 
 assimilable form of iron should be used, one that penetrates into the 
 organism without unduly taxing the digestive tract or interfering with the 
 essential qualities of the gastric j uice. ’ ’ 
 
 In chloro-ansemia, Warner’s Pil. Chalybeate Comp, regenerates 
 the diseased red globules of the blood with a rapidity not before observed 
 under the use of other ferruginous preparations ; it adds to their physiolog- 
 ical power, and makes them richer in coloring matter. Moreover, being 
 neither stypic nor caustic and having no coagulating or astringent action 
 on the gastro-intestinal mucous membrane, this preparation of iron causes 
 neither constipation or diarrhoea as it does not need to be digested in 
 order to be absorbed, it does not give rise to the sensation of weight in the 
 stomach, or the gastric pain and indigestion occasioned by other prepara- 
 tions. In women who have not menstruated for many months, the 
 amenorrhoea disappears; in others suffering from an anaemic state of long 
 duration, give in proportion as the ordinary preparations of iron have not 
 been well borne, Warner’s Pil. Chalybeate Comp, one or two after each 
 meal, soon restore the digestive functions to their normal state. 
 
 The small quantity of Nux Vomica is added to increase the tonic effect, 
 to give tone to the stomach and nerves and increase the appetite.

 This combination is very useful in relieving various forms of 
 Dyspepsia and Indigestion, and will afford permanent benefit 
 in cases of enfeebled digestion, where the gastric juices are not 
 properly secreted. 
 
 As a corrective of nausea or lack of appetite in the morning, 
 induced by over indulgence in food or stimulants during the 
 night, these pills are unsurpassed ; they should be taken in 
 doses of two pills before retiring, or in the morning at least one 
 hour before eating ; the first mentioned time is the most desir- 
 able as the effects are more decided, owing to the longer period 
 for action and the natural rest is more fully experienced through 
 their mild but effective influence. 
 
 As a dinner pill, Pil: Digestiva is unequalled and may be 
 taken in doses of a single pill either before or after eating.

 class, in doses of one, two or three grains, repeated thrice daily. As a nervine it 
 prompt and efficient; while it gives nervous strength, it calms speedily the rm 
 severe pains. Its sorbefacient properties are manifested with some degree of slo 
 ness. Five to seven grains, given in broken doses in rapid succession, product- 
 powerful antiperiodic effect. 
 
 We take pleasure in presenting to the Profession the following Pills of Iodofor 
 and its combinations. Since its introduction by us in 1871, it has grown in perm

 SALICYLIC COJVIP. 
 
 A POTENT AND RELIABLE REMEDY IN 
 
 RHEUMATISM, GOUT, LUMBAGO iP KINDRED DISEASES. 
 
 This preparation combines, in a pleasant and agreeable form, Salicylic 
 Acid, Cimicifuge, Gelseminum, Sodii Bi-Carb. and Potass. Iodid., so 
 combined as to be more prompt and effective in the treatment of this 
 class of diseases than either of the ingredients when administered alone. 
 
 This remedy can be given without producing any of the unpleasant 
 results which so often follow the giving of Salicylic Acid and Salicylate 
 of Sodium, viz.: gastric and intestinal irritation, nausea, delirium, deaf- 
 ness, nervous irritability, restlessness and rapid respiration ; on the con- 
 trary, it gives prompt relief from pain and quiets the nerves without the 
 aid of opiates. 
 
 Elixir Salicylic Comp, has been extensively used in private practice 
 for several years with almost unvarying success, and with better results 
 than any other mode of treatment yet suggested. 
 
 It is a matter of great satisfaction to us to be able to place before the 
 medical profession a remedy so effectual in the cure of one of the most 
 stubborn classes of disease. 
 
 The dose is from a teaspoonful to a dessertspoonful, and incrensed 
 as necessary to meet the requirements of the case. 
 
 Each teaspoonful contains five grains of Salicylic Acid. 
 
 Elixir Salicylic Comp, is put up in 12-oz. square bottles, and may be 
 obtained from Druggists everywhere.

 Messrs. W. R. Warner & Co., 1228 Market St., Phila. 
 
 Dear Sirs : — I have been engaged in the active practice of 
 medicine in this part of the State forty years, and have had oc- 
 casion to use Ergot in every form that it can be used, but I am 
 free to confess that the Fluid Extract of that drug I got from 
 you in February is the most active paturient I have ever found, 
 and nauseates less than I have ever seen Ergot in substance, 
 tincture, infusion or extract, fluid or solid (Bodjean’s Ergotine).

 These Pills are unsurpassed in their medicinal

 composition, while the most scrupulous care is exercised 
 in their manufacture. 
 
 An extended laboratory experience comprising un- 
 ceasing attention to details, during a period of more 
 than a quarter of a century, enables us to arrive at 
 . results otherwise unattainable. 
 
 We claim a method of coating which remains per- 
 manent, and avoids the necessity for drying the mass 
 so hard as to render it insoluble or inert. This scienti- 
 fic method, which we do not hesitate to call our own, 
 is fully recognized and appreciated, as is demonstrated 
 by the confidence reposed and the success attained. 
 
 It is our wish to emphatically impress upon the 
 minds of our patrons, that our make of Pills will pro- 
 duce the effects that should be expected in connection 
 with the drug employed, and that every other desire is 
 subordinate to this end. We thank the Profession for 
 the very liberal endorsement and patronage that has 
 been accorded us and offer our assurance that our efforts

Sumbul Root 
 
 (The Root of Ferula Sumbul) 
 
 Nat. Ord. Umbelliferse. 
 
 Common names— Sumbul, Musk Root, 
 Jatamansi. 
 
 Description. — The plant that produces the sumbul root is an herbaceous peren- 
 nial, with an erect milk-bearing stem, and is a native of Central Asia. The leaves 
 are mostly radical, large, and alternately decompound, with the ultimate segments 
 narrow and toothed. The upper stem leaves are reduced merely to the sheathing 
 bases of the petioles. The flowers are small , yellow and disposed in compound umbels. 
 
 Properties and Uses. — Sumbul is a stimulant and tonic to the nervous system; 
 it has been recommended in gastric spasms, hysteria, delirium, diarrhoea, dysentery, 
 leucorrhoea, chlorosis, asthma, chronic bronchitis, and other maladies, accompanied 
 with an asthenic condition. In nervous diseases of a low, depressing character, it 
 has been found very useful, especially in the following combination which we prepare 
 in pill form. These pills are prescribed by leading physicians. Don't fail to specify 
 Warner & Co., to avoid substitutes and disappointment.

 TONO SUMBUL CORDIAL 
 
 An elegant and efficient cordial prepared especially for physicians* 
 prescribing. This valuable therapeutic agent combines the well-known 
 and positive Nerve Tonic and Stimulant properties of Sumbul 
 Root, the Blood-Making properties of Iron, and the general system 
 tonic and antiperiodic qualities of Cinchona Bark, together with 
 acid phosphates, so blended with delightful aromatics as to present a 
 cordial which is both palatable and wonderfully efficient in allaying the 
 troubles for which it is intended. 
 
 An examination of the ingredients used in this combination and due 
 consideration as to their physiological effects will satisfy the physician 
 of the wide scope covered by this tonic. The delicate stomach of the 
 inva’id rebels against the distasteful and nauseating bitter tonics. Tono 
 Sumbul Cordial is free from this objection, having a delightful and 
 pleasing taste in its combination with glycerine, therefore it replaces all 
 such compounds. 
 
 Its potency is highly increased by the addition of the Iron and Cin* 
 chona Bark, the respective medicinal virtues of which, when properly 
 presented, would admit of more than passing comment.

 Bromo Lithia is an extremely potent remedy, in the treat- 
 ment of Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout and Gouty Diathesis, 
 originated by W. R. Warner & Co. It consists of Salicylate 
 Lithium, io grains, and Bromide Sodium, io grains, in each 
 dessertspoonful. 
 
 It will be found to possess advantages over Salicylic Acid, 
 combining, as it does, the efficacy of Lithium in combination 
 with Salicylic Acid as well as the sedative properties of BrO' 
 mide of Soda. 
 
 Dr. A. Garod, the well-known English authority on Gout, 
 who was the first physician to use the Salicylate of Lithia in 
 the treatment of the Gouty Diathesis, believes that its action 
 is materially increased by being administered in a freely diluted 
 form. 
 
 Bromo Lithia (Warner & Co.) being an effervescing salt, 
 furnishes an elegant and convenient form for applying Dr. Garod’s 
 methods, and we have pleasure in offering it to the profession. 
 We have attained skill in the manufacture of these elegant 
 effervescent salts, and physicians will receive the benefits of 
 our efforts if they will specify “ W. R. W. & Co.’s.”
