For the treatment of constipation. Constipation, as every physician of experience knows, is a many-sided problem. Its etiology may depend upon any one of a number of pathological conditions. Whatever the cause, there is a growing belief that the mechanical laxative meets the indications in a large percentage of cases; that by its use (even in chronic constipation) normal, healthy bowel function may be effected. Agar (P. D. & Co.) and American Oil (P. D. & Co.) are offered as the most eligible of all mechanical laxatives. We unhesitatingly commend them to the medical profession. Combined Treatment.-Some physicians advocate the use of Agar and American Oil in conjunction, particularly in obstinate cases: a heaping tablespoonful of Agar in the morning, another at midday or in the afternoon, and a tablespoonful of American Oil at bedtime. Specify "P. D. & Co." on prescriptions for Agar and American Oil. This will insure products of guaranteed purity. Home Offices and Laboratories, Detroit, Michigan. Parke, Davis & Co.

Cystogen-Aperient (Granular Effervescent Salt) performs a double service by stimulating to normal function and by disinfecting the intestinal and urinary tracts. Specially Indicated in the Treatment of Gouty Conditions and Auto-Intoxication Cystogen-Aperient is not presented as a saline purgative, but as a rational therapeutic aid wherever treatment is based on elimination; it combines the laxative and tonic properties of Sodium Phosphate and Tartrate with the diuretic urinary-antiseptic and solvent action of Cystogen (C,H,,N1).
