That it will be activ, yet not too activ? That it will produce the therapeutic result that you hope for and expect?" It is well known that Parke, Davis & Co. are authorities upon the subject of standardization, chemical and physiological, and it may be confidently asserted that the practician of medicin who reads and ponders what is said in the announcement referred to will find that his time has been well spent. The physician's obligation to his patient does not cease with the writing of a prescription. There remains the further duty to assure himself that trustworthy products are used in compounding that prescription. When he prescribes a fluidextract or tincture, the physician owes it to his patient to specify the brand of a reliable manufacturer. In his book entitled "Through South America,'' Van Dyke says: "The neighbors of the Paulistas in the State of Rio Grande do Sul are principally engaged (with Paraguay) in supplying the twenty millions or more of consumers in South America, and growing numbers elsewhere, with the leaves from which the beverage is made that is known as yerba mate, or Paraguay tea, which those who drink it contend has all the stimulating and nourishing qualities of the tea we use, but none of its injurious effects.

Wheeler's Tissue Phosphates combines iron phosfate, calcium phosfate, sodium phosfate, phos foric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrocyanic acid and quinin in a delicious cordial which will never pall upon the patient and may be exhibited indefinitly. This is a property of the utmost importance in chronic disease and one which has not received the attention it deserves. As the physician will gather from the formula, Wheeler's Tissue Phosphates is invaluable in convalescence from acute disease or surgical operation; for pregnant and nursing mothers (it is a galactagogue of the first rank); in anemia, neurasthenia, functional derangements of all kinds, and in every form of prostration arising from running the machinery of the body at too high a rate of speed.

I have used Valentine's Meat-Juice myself in a recent severe attack of inflammation of the bowels which I had, and for forty-eight hours nothing passed my lips but Valentine's Meat-Juice and a little carbonated water. It is very palatable and excellent to sustain the strength during fevers. I have frequently prescribed it and shall continue to do so. F. D. LAWSON, M.D. New York. To keep the alimentary tract as free as possible from fermentable matter, to inhibit as far as possible the activity of the putrefactiv bacteria which normally inhabit the intestinal canal, and to eliminate the toxin produced by the bacillus typhosus as rapidly as possible are desirable results to accomplish in treating typhoid cases. The power of Glyco-Thymoline to produce these results (Continued on page xxiv.) Doctors, you believe in research. We spend in that way $100,000 yearly to better Goodyear Tires There are scores of experts in our laboratory. They build thousands of test tires, to compare features and formulas, fabrics and methods. To secure maximum quality to minimize troubles-to insure that Goodyears show lowest cost per mile. The result is a tire so sturdy and enduring that we last year sold nearly a million and a half-nearly one for every car in use. Fortified Tires The results of these efforts show in Goodyear Fortified tires. They are made of extra-grade rubber, of extra-strong fabric. And in these five ways, used by no one else, they protect you against tire troubles: One feature combats rim-cuts in the best way known. One holds the tire firmly on. There are six flat bands of 126 braided wires vulcanized into the tire base, so it can't be forced over the rim. One wipes out a major cause of blowouts. That is our "On-Air" cure which costs us $1500 daily. One reduces by 60 per cent the danger of loose treads. And one combats punctures and skidding. That's our All-Weather tread; double-thick, with deep, sharp, resistless grips. They Must Be Best We have spent 15 years in improving these tires. The ablest men we could find. have been put at it. Men have tried out millions of them. They have compared them with others in every way. Their verdict shows in the fact that Goodyears outsell any other tire. In the five ways mentioned-all exclu sive to us-you can see that they excel. They must be best-be very much the best. And you who stand for efficiency should buy them.

FRENCH LICK, INDIANA is amply proven by the clinical reports from eminent physicians in all parts of the country. The distressing condition of fissured tongue and "crackt" lips is immediately relieved and the sordes of teeth and mouth quickly removed by the use of Glyco-Thymoline. It should interest American physicians to learn that there is promise of a tetanus-antitoxin famin in this country. Enormous orders for this remedy have come in from Europe, where the antitoxin is administered to wounded soldiers to prevent the occurrence of lockjaw, which is one of the most common and deadly complications of the wounds of war. It is said that virtually every large commercial serum laboratory in this country, as well as a laboratory maintained by a great munici pality, is disposing of its surplus output to the French, Russian and other European armies. Since it takes from six to nine months to produce tetanus antitoxin, there is considerable likelihood of a famin in this indispensable commodity. In view of this threatened antitoxin famin we cannot too strongly urge all American physicians to provide at once for a supply of this remedy before prices advance, as they are almost sure to do. Whatever happens abroad, it is important that our own people in the United States are taken care of. The Abbott Alkaloidal Company is arranging to take care of the needs of American physicians, preferring above everything to conserve the interests of our people at home. It has made no advance in the price of Slee's Tetanus Antitoxin, which it handles exclusivly. We suggest that our readers make immediate provisions for supplies of this product, which we can recommend as of very superior quality. The Abbott motto, "Americans first," is a timely one. Anedemin, which contains apocynum, strophanthus, squill and sambucus, is a preparation of no little merit.

A VALUABLE ADDITION TO OUR MATERIA MEDICA Editor The Therapeutic Record: As all practitioners know who have ever treated uterine cancer, the odor which it emits is most overpowering. In fact its sickening nature and its persistence have to be known to be fully understood. It has been our hope to find a remedy that would prove a deodorant in cancer. In the New York Hospital, Micajah's Wafers are used for this purpose. I accordingly had them tried in the city hospital, and they have proved a most efficient agent for this purpose. So valuable indeed is this remedy that I do not hesitate to claim that the agent is a most valuable addition to our armamentarium. Micajah's Wafers are used extensively in vaginitis, urethritis, prolapsus and other female diseases, but not until within the last year have they been known to possess the valuable property of deodorizing that scourge of mankind-cancer. Most respectfully, J. W. FOWLER, M.D. MICAJAH & COMPANY Warren, Pa. Expert Physical Training IT IS A TRUISM that a healthy mind needs a healthy body. In this strenu ous age when nervous affections are so prevalent, particularly the great American disease neurasthenia, this truism cannot be ignored. Most of such patients are materially benefited by physical exercises judiciously selected by one possessing the necessary qualifications, namely: extensive experience and a thorough knowledge of physiology and anatomy as applied to physical training. A GREAT MANY PHYSICIANS APPROVE OF MY WORK for women and I wish that every physician knew what my personal work for women really is, and does, because physicians who fully understand it frankly welcome my help-they send me hundreds of patients. EVERY PHYSICIAN HAS CASES in which an individual, scientific, personally directed course in proper exercise, breathing, bathing and diet would greatly assist to build up. MY EXERCISES WILL MATERIALLY HELP YOUR CASES of chronic constipation, torpid liver, indigestion, anemia, neurasthenia, weakened heart muscles, undeveloped lungs, poor circulation, uterine displacement, increase the oxygen carrying power of the blood, by building up and strengthening the physical and nervous system. I STUDY EACH PUPIL'S SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS, and prescribe for her individually, just as you prescribe for your patients. I give no promiscuous exercise, but direct each woman according to her needs and her strength. I have spent years in the study of anatomy and physiology, and accept no cases where pronounced pathological conditions are present, as I know the possibilities of my work and I know its limitations. FOR 12 YEARS I GAVE PERSONAL INSTRUCTIONS TO WOMEN before attempting instructions by mail. Upon request, I will send you full information concerning my work. I have written the following books: A Good Figure; Circulation; Body Manikin and Position of Vital Organs; Ideals and Privileges of Woman; Character as Expressed in the Body; Mind Over Matter-The Nervous System; Effect of Habit Upon Life-Foods; Self-Sufficiency-Mental Poise; Motherhood; The Vital Organs-Their Uses and Abuse.
