In

Dr. Henry Koplik, in his treatise on diseases of children, claims that the tapeworm is quite common in children of from one to five years of age. The Grape Capsule Company of Allentown, Pa., put up "Baby Taeniafuge-Grape," which contains five minims of oleoresin filix mas or aspidium to each grape, made from the fresh or recently collected roots (as the oleoresin made from the root two years old is inert), together with five minims ricinol-grape or pure castor oil, with a quarter grain of extract cascara sagrada. presenting this preparation to the medical profession, the Grape Capsule Company are giving, in convenient and attractiv form, a speedy and effectiv formula for the expulsion of these parasites found in children ranging in age from two years to eighteen or twenty; and in specifying on prescription or dispensing "Baby-TaeniafugeGrape" the physician can feel assured he is, at each time, getting a uniform and scientifically combined preparation.

Action and Therapeutic Uses:

1. Contraction of the Uterus.-Its action on the uterus makes it valuable in conditions of uterine atony and for controlling post-partum hemorrhage. It should, however, be used carefully on account of possible rupture of the uterus in excessive doses.

2. Slowing of the heart beat, caused by either the resistance afforded by the contraction of the arteries or to the action of the drug upon the heart muscles, which tend to decrease the muscular contractions.

Its action on the heart and blood vessels makes it valuable in conditions of general vasomotor insufficiency, and in all conditions of low blood pressure accompanied by rapid heart action. It is said to be useful in controlling pulmonary hemorrhage.

3. Rise of blood pressure, due to the contraction of the muscular walls of the blood vessels, particularly the arterioles of the peripheral circulation. Its blood pressure raising action resembles that of suprarenal products, but the effects are much more prolonged. The increase in blood pressure causes an increased activity of the kidneys and also makes it useful in controlling the rapid pulse of pulmonary tuberculosis, typhoid fever, pneumonia, etc.

The average adult dose, 1 c.c., represents 0.2 Gm. of the fresh posterior lobe. It is administered hypodermically, intramuscularly or intravenously. The rapidity of action is, of course, greatest when given intravenously. A dose may be repeated in one hour, if necessary. It should never be administered by mouth, as it is apparently devoid of action when so given.

Perfectly simple to use, nothing to get out or order, and is as safe as an ordinary coal and wood stove. The Alpha" burns gas made from alcohol mixt with air-the cleanest fuel in the world. When using the Alpha" there is no smoke or odor. Weighs less than two pounds, and so handy, light and compact that it can be used in any iron casting, finished in black Japan, the tank and room in the house. Frame is made of strong connections are made of brass. Capacity of tank 5 ounces. Besides denatured alcohol, columbian spirits and grain alcohol may be used as fuel, but the denatured alcohol is the cheapest. The average cost is only 2 cents per hour to operate. Can you think of using a better and more economical method of getting heat for sterilizing or other purposes? See adv. on page xxi.
