The Pinnacle of Therapeutic Success can only be
attained by the Timely use of Proper Remedial Agents

Antiphlogistine

affords the most scientific method of combating Inflammation and Congestion. It is of especial benefit in the conditions incident to the summer

season.

In ENTERO-COLITIS, and other Inflammations of the abdominal and pelvic viscera, Antiphlogistine proves a satisfactory adjuvant to treatment, as it produces a depletion of the enteric and peritoneal vessels, stimulates the reflexes and relieves the pain, tenesmus and muscular rigidity.

In SPRAINS and WRENCHES, the stretching or tearing of the ligaments, contusion of the synovial membrane and damage to vessels and nerves are best controlled by Antiphlogistine, which distinctly aids in the reconstruction of the part. The absorption of the liquid exudate from the swollen tissues and the free circulation of blood in the seat of the injury greatly hastens the process of repair.

Victorian Order of Nurses.-Toronto Branch.

The following announcement is made over the signature of D. R. Wilkie, Chairman:

The Executive Committee of the V. O. N., having carefully considered the question of the widespread distribution of Consumption amongst the working classes and the poor of the city; also the fact that, in far too many cases, one patient in a household becomes, through ignorance or neglect of the laws of health, the source from which others contract the disease has decided, in addition to its present work, to devote special attention to the nursing and care of patients afflicted with this disease. For the present, one well-trained nurse will have this department under her charge. This nurse will, under the attending physician's direction, visit the home frequently, advise and instruct the patient and the family.

The Committee places this nurse at the disposal of the physicians of Toronto, in the hope that she may be instrumental in alleviating the distress of those sufferers from Consumption who are not able to have the services of a trained nurse, and also, by her advice and teaching, in preventing the development of many incipient cases.

The Committee asks the co-operation of the physicians by reporting to the Home, 206 Spadina Avenue (Telephone College 348), not only such patients as may now be under their care, but also any others to whom such a nurse might be a blessing. 208 Spadina Ave,

Infantile Diarrhoea. By G. L. HAGEN, M.D., Minneapolis, Minn.

Your product, Glyco-Thymoline, has proven in my hands the best remedial agent in all cases where the different mucous membranes are involved in a catarrhal and inflamed condition. I could give you several cases in which I have used GlycoThymoline with brilliant results, but will relate one extremely chronic case:

A three months' old bottle-fed baby in the month of August, 1906, had chronic infantile diarrhoea and inanition. I used everything known in the line of artificial food products, and every other remedial agent to suit the case, but with no improve

Treatment of Amenorrhea.

When the suppression of the menses is caused by such constitutional diseases as pulmonary tuberculosis, and the regular menstrual period is overdue, it is seldom possible to effect its return before the next period. But if the suppression is acute and the result of taking a cold, worry, fright, grief or mental shock, the flow can be promptly brought on by the administration of Ergoapiol (Smith).

In the former variety, Ergoapiol (Smith) (Smith) should be administered for ten days in advance of the regular date of the flow. For the first seven days one capsule should be given three times daily after which the dose is to be increased to two capsules four times daily until the appearance of the flow. As soon as the flow has started the dose is again reduced to one capsule three times daily and its use continued until the period has been passed. In the second variety, viz., acute suppression, Ergoapiol (Smith) is administered at once in doses of two capsules four times a day until menstruation is observed, when the dose is reduced to one capsule three times a day and continued until the flow has ceased.

Ergoapiol (Smith) produces the most remarkable emmenagogue effect without the slightest untoward action. Through the tonic influence of the remedy upon the uterus and its appendages, vitality is rapidly restored to these parts, their functional
