BROOKLYN, IND., March 25, 1893. I have used Freligh's Tablets, and can cheerfully recommend them as worthy of trial by the profession, as I have been using them for the past three months with good results. I can say I am well pleased. C. M. LINDLEY, M.D.,

ANTIKAMNIA.

"The importance attached to this drug, I think, is due to its anodyne and analgesic power, and the celerity with which it acts. As an antipyretic in fevers, it acts more slowly than antipyrine, but it is not attended with depression of the cardiac system and cyanosis. Whenever a sedative and an analgesic together is indicated, this remedy meets the demand. In severe headaches it is the remedy par excellence."-N. C. Med. Jour.

DR. ORAZIO SATARIANO, Barrafranca, Italy, says: "Although opposed to the use of pharmaceutical specialties, I was struck with the formula of Bromidia (Battle), and knowing the action of its ingredients could not bring myself to believe in its possessing greater therapeutic power than its component parts. However, I determined to try it in a severe case of mammary neuralgia, which had proved refractory to an infinitude of other remedies. The result was brilliant, and far beyond my expectations."

THE MAN who went out to milk and sat down on a boulder in the middle of the pasture and waited for the cow to back up to him, was the eldest brother of the man who kept store and did not advertise, because he reasoned that the purchasing public would back up to his place when it wanted something.-The Sioux City (Iowa) Tribune.

THE following is from a physician in Barcelona, Spain:

"The results which I have obtained in my dispensary for sick children, together with my private cases, have been extremely satisfactory. In fact, I have

of

treated various cases dyspepsia, in which the patients, fully prostrated and without power to digest their food, have, thanks to the use of Ingluvin, been rapidly cured.

"In the case of 'apepsia' or loss of appetite, in children, accompanied with diarrhoea, I have obtained good results from the use of Ingluvin, which therapeutic agent is extracted by the house of Warner & Co. from the stomach of the chicken.

"I have also found Ingluvin useful in the organic complaints of the stomach, and in the indomitable vomiting and painful dyspepsia to which women are subject during pregnancy. I have employed the agent, moreover, in the convalescent state of many patients, when I have not only noted the alteration of the gastric secretions, but the extreme instability of the stomach."

W. H. HOSTELLEY & Co., Gentlemen :-I gave the Syrup of Hydriodic Acid to a young man with chronic gleet. The fellow seems wonderfully relieved. Says he feels like another man. I cheerfully commend it to all needing an iodine alterative. Will continue to use it. DR. JAMES A. BERRYMAN,

BRIGHT POINTS FROM THE OD QUARTERLY.

[For a sample copy address Od Chemical Co., New York.]

EXCESSIVE Vomiting may be controlled by giving one-half to one drop of oil of cloves in a little water.

BLOOM has given atropine successfully in thirty cases of uterine hemorrhage. He gave gr. 1-100 every three or four hours.

FOR threatened bed sores the skin should be rubbed with alcohol, in order to restore the circulation, and then gallic acid applied, which will constringe the dilated blood vessels.

SALICYLIC ACID and its salts are among the most effectual agents in the treatment of pleurisy with effusion.

THE extensive use of iodoform in the treatment of old people is not advisable, as it is very liable to produce delirium.

IN APPLYING iodine to inflamed buboes, furuncles etc., do not paint the swelling itself, but apply it around the inflamed area.

IN SEVERE cases of chorea, arsenic and the hot pack will be found to act almost as a specific.

CALOMEL may, in the stomach, if an excess of hydrochloric acid is present, be converted into corrosive sublimate. Hence it is best to combine the calomel with sodium bicarbonate.

THE long continued use of alkalies has a tendency to destroy the blood and irritate the kidneys.

A FRENCH author claims that boric acid administered in five grain doses three times a day will abort boils.

CITRIC ACID is said to be a prompt remedy to stop nose bleeding. A solution injected into the nostrils. CHLORIDE OF CALCIUM, in doses of four grains, is valuable in the treatment of pneumonia.

SULPHATE OF MAGNESIA is a good chemical antidote for carbolic acid poisoning.

MURIATE OF AMMONIUM in full doses will overcome the immediate effects of drunkenness.

DROPSY of the feet alone means heart, dropsy of the belly alone means liver, and dropsy of all the body means kidneys.

WHERE you are in doubt as to the diagnosis, examine the urine.

PROF. BRINTON says blood in the urine is generally from the kidneys, but if it clots or is bright red in color, then it is not from the kidneys, but may be either due to a diseased condition of the bladder or of the prostate gland, or to a stricture or to a urethritis.

INVOLUTION of the sexual organs after confinement takes place more rapidly and satisfactorily if the mother nurses her child.

PICROTOXINE, 1-40 gr. at bedtime, controls the night sweats of consumptives.

TWENTY grains of camphoric acid, given at night, controls night sweats.

COCAINE prevents suppuration in small-pox, Dr. Saymayoa, of Gautemala, says: hence there is no secondary fever, and no pitting.

SALICYLATE OF BISMUTH.-Salicylate of Bismuth has been found useful in infantile diarrhoea.

CONVULSIONS in children are sometimes cut short by turning the patient on the left side.

GALL STONES occur three times as often in women as in men. Keen.

DRUGS that increase the arterial tension will also increase the flow of the milk.

USE neither sound nor catheter where the bladder is inflamed.

FALSE MODESTY, A CRIME.

Dr. Hattie T. Griswold, who is far from being a pessimist or a sensational writer, inveighs bitterly against the false delicacy which is ashamed to speak of the mystery of life in as proper manner to a child, and prompts teachers and parents to let their boys and girls learn by a terrible experience, perhaps and often, too late, what they were too modest to warn them against. In every community there are debased women who seek to lure our boys to destruction, and male friends who delight in demoralising and ruining our girls, and yet we let our children go out into a world teeming with overwhelming temptations without so much as a word of warning as to the awful consequences of sexual vice. The eternal demand in nature for purity, and the lasting disease, suffering and disgrace that inevitably punish impurity, cannot be too early or too strongly impressed on every child. Whoever, therefore, shirks the duty of imparting to those under their care the power of discrimination between good and evil, deliberately sins against God and man, because they wilfully cause bodies to be ruined and souls to be lost, through ignorance of what they should have taught them to avoid.-Indian Med. Record,

Some Reasons for Becoming a Physician.

BY H. P. CRABBE, WASHINGTON, D. C.

Doctor Greatheart's Reasons.

1. Because I see in the life of a doctor the best opportunity to serve God and my fellow men.

2. Because I believe a physician can find opportunities to cheer the hearts of the unhappy not given to other men.

3. Because, as a doctor, I can go among the por, carrying help and comfort.

4. Because to relieve suffering will be my daily duty. 5. Because to give health is to give more than money.

6. Because I know that, "inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me."

7. Because I would lend my life to the Lord by giving it to the poor.

Doctor Narrowmind's Reasons.

1. Because it is easier to become a great physician than a great lawyer. Sick people are more easily fooled than well people.

2. Because women are more easily influenced than men, and a physician deals more with women than with men.

3. Because a doctor can ingratiate himself into the hearts of women, and through them influence their husbands.

4. Because I would like to be a professional man, and I think the life of a minister of the Gospel requires to much self sacrifice, and the life of a lawyer too much real work.

5. Because it is easier for a doctor to conceal his ignorance than for men in other professions.

6. Because a doctor has fine opportunities to make love to the ladies.

7. Because I would like to know enough of medicine, and the physical man, to be able to take excellent care of my own dear self.-Illus. Med. Jour.

"TRIKRESOL FOR INHALATION."

The following is from a communication to the Lancet, by Dr. Robert Lee, of West Kensington, England: "The interesting observations of Professor Charteris on Trikresol, eommunicated through the Lancet, must have attracted the attention of many of its readers, and the important fact that Trikresol is free from the poisonous qualities of carbolic acid must have sug. gested its great superiority in medical and surgical practice. I have tried a specimen of Schering's Trikresol, in order to ascertain whether it could be used for inhalation, as the poisonous properties of carbolic acid have, for that purpose, made it somewhat objectionable. My object was to determine whether Trik resol, when mixed with water in definite proportion, would, like carbolic acid when treated similarly, yield a vapor, on boiling, of definite and constant strengtha peculiarity which attaches, as I pointed out some years ago, to carbolic acid, and which makes it supe rior to all other antiseptics for inhalation. I find that Trikresol follows the same law, as might have been expected, as carbolic acid, and that a mixture of one dram of Trikresol to one pint of water gives off, when boiled continuously, a vapor of the same strength as the mixture. This is rather strong for children, and a weaker solution may be used. To what important uses this property of Trikresol can be applied in the treatment of many maladies by inhalatioa, I hardly need point out."

HOW TO TELL THE SPEED OF THE TRAIN.

Superintendent Alvey, of the Baltimore & Ohio road, lives out at Takoma, and the coterie of commuters in the smoking car atways save a seat for him in the morning, no matter how big the crowd may be. Coming in to church recently, some one asked him how fast the train was running. He pulled out his watch, and, after quickly glancing at it, peered intently out of the window. In a little while he remarked, quietly:

"This train is going between thirty-one and thirtytwo miles an hour, '

There was a chorus of queries as to how he had determined it, because his manner left no doubt in the mind of any one that he was entirely serious.

"It is very easy to find out the speed when you are traveling on a double tracked road,' he replied. “If you are curious about it hereafter, just look at the in side of the outer rail on the opposite track for a minute or two until you find that you can distinguish where one rail joins another. Then count the joints, and as many rails as you pass in twenty one seconds is the number of miles your train is traveling an hour. Try it yourselves and figure it out and you will find out I'm right."-—Washington Post.

NATURE VERSUS PHYSIC.

Editor MEDICAL WORLD:

If we look back, two scores or more,
Bleeding then was to the fore
We wonder, in the present age,
Why such practice was the rage;
We wonder if the human kind
Were stronger then than now we find.
Mercury, too, then ruled the day,
And had, indeed, a mighty swy.
It was the power to cure all ills,
In plaster, powder, and in pills.
Some even now life's blood will take,
Lauding its praise-as not a fake.
Mercury, too, doth hold a power
With many, to this very hour.

Now antiseptics are the go,
Analegesics daily grow,
And dosemetrics granules, seem
To try to be the leading team.
In fact, the M. D.'s of this age
Are puzzled how their minds to gauge.
One reads the journals of this day
And notes what numerous writers say.
The more he reads 'tis plain to see-
He and the writers can't agree.
If we would study nature more,
Leave physic to the hind-not fore-
Give rest to stomach, body, mind,
With little physic, we will find
That nature will the healing do,
And give to blood its healthy hue.

Science to physic is out of name,
Nature is a kindly dame.
Hygiene, with diet-less the meat—
Would many an undertaker cheat;
Pure blood will banish all disease,
The lesser minerals-if you please—
Lead is a poison, slow but sure,
And copper, nature won't endure.
The less of beer, and wine and whiskey,
Will make, indeed, the nerves less frisky;
Heart failures will the fewer be,
