KELLY'S SET FOR DIRECT CYSTOSCOPY OF THE FEMALE BLADDER. Manufacturer of Superior Surgical In- 34 BOND ST., H.A. KAYSAN, struments, Aseptic Hospital Furniture, BROOKLYN, N. Y. A PRACTICE OF MEDICINE, Prepared for Students and Practitioners. By J. T. WHITTAKER, M.D., LL.D., Professor of the Theory and Practice of Medicine, Medical College of Ohio, etc., etc. One large octavo volume of 840 pages, illustrated by three hundred engravings and one chromo-lithographic plate. Extra muslin, $5.75; leather, $6.50. This book will commend itself to the profession, because it not only advocates but actually demonstrates the germ theory of disease and bases the practice of medicine upon it, "except in so far," the author conservatively remarks, "as the treatment of disease must still remain symptomatic." No work on the subject hitherto published has equalled this in the profusion and excellence of the illustrations. In its preparation special attention has been given to the Infections, as the most frequent and dangerous and at the same time the most preventable of all diseases. In this portion the most space has been devoted to cause and diagnosis. The first part of the book treats of the Infections and Parasites (186 pages). The second part discusses Diseases of the Organs of Digestion, of Respiration, of Circulation, of the Genito-Urinary and of the Nervous Systems. "The work is an authoritative one, and every page shows the genius of a scholar, physician, and clinician, who has devoted himself to years of study, supplemented by the most valuable of all acquisitions, a broad, practical experience." -MEDICAL AND SURGICAL REPORTER.

Comparative Doses and Results PREPARING FOR PUBLICATION. SUPPLEMENT TO THE INTERNATIONAL ENCYCLOPÆDIA Edited by JOHN ASHHURST, Jr., M.D. As the theory and practice of Surgery have made a considerable advance since the publication of the last revised edition of the International Encyclopædia of Surgery, the publishers have for some time past been considering the advisability of again revising this great work and bringing it thoroughly up to date. This course, however, is open to several objections, among them the fact that the last edition would be rendered obsolete and have comparatively little value, necessitating a second purchase of the whole set; a considerable expense. The best solution of this difficulty seemed to be a supplementary volume, which should contain everything not embraced in the International Encyclopædia, and should, by embodying all the new discoveries, theories, and operations, which have been published since the revision of the former work, bring the whole set up to date. Among the entirely new articles which this Supplement will contain may be mentioned "Inflammation" (including the relation of micro-organisms to inflammatory and suppurative processes, etc.), by Dr. Ernst, and on "Wounds and Wound Complications" (including Erysipelas, Pyæmia, and Septicæmia, etc.), by Dr. Kammerer. Surgical Bacteriology, which was in its infancy at the time of publication of the revised edition of the Encyclopædia, has since risen into importance, and these articles will supply the readers of the work with the latest information on their respective subjects, without marring by alteration the original articles, now become classical, of Stricker, Van Buren, Bryant, Stillé, and others. The volume will also contain supplementary articles covering almost all the subjects treated of in the previous volumes of the Encyclopædia, and will thus furnish the owners of those volumes with a summary of all that has been done since their publication, without rendering the volumes themselves obsolete, as would have been the case had a revision been undertaken instead of a Supplement. The Supplement to the International Encyclopædia of Surgery will consist of one royal octavo volume, uniform in appearance with the other volumes of the set, will be fully and beautifully illustrated, and its mechanical makeup will be in keeping with the high character of the work. 1 A list of the articles which the new volume is expected to contain, with the authors' names, will be sent, post-free, to any address. WILLIAM WOOD & COMPANY, Publishers, 43, 45 & 47 East 10th Street, New York. Uterine Diseases. I am much pleased with ALETRIS CORDIAL as a remedy in uterine diseases. I have been in constant practice for more than half a century, and have used the aletris farinosa most of the time. When I learned the composition of the ALETRIS CORDIAL (Rio Chem. Co.) I inferred at once that it would prove a very good uterine tonic, and find it is just the thing. Following is a case in which I used ALETRIS CORDIAL: Mrs. C., aged 33 years, has been suffering since confinement, some two years since, with leucorrhea, more or less most of the time and frequently quite profuse. I have treated her with ordinary remedies, such as tonics internally and astringent injections, with variable results, but never entirely relieving the leucorrhea. Her general health suffered less than common in such persistent cases. Some time since I made a more critical examination, and found preternatural redness of the whole vaginal cavity from labia to uterus; the cervix uteri and the os tumified and sensitive to touch, as also the abdomen, especially over the ovaries; cold feet, hot head, debility and nervous exhaustion, odorous urine, itching of the vulva, etc. I used PINUS CANADENSIS as an injection and put the patient on ALETRIS CORDIAL. By the time the first bottle was used, the disease was about cured. The leucorrheal discharge ceased and the redness, etc., much diminished. I attribute her speedy relief to the ALETRIS CORDIAL, for all other applications had been persistently tested with but little benefit. I expected the ALETRIS CORDIAL to tone up the weakened womb, but supposed something more specific would be requisite to subdue the irritation and subacute inflammation of the vagina. JOS. S. BURR, M. D., Leesville, O. I had under my treatment a lady, Mrs. H., 36 years of age, married twelve years, no children, who had suffered for twenty years with painful and irregular menstruation, followed by leucorrhea and nervous hysteria at times. She had tried all kinds of drugs, but not receiving any benefit from them, consulted a number of physicians, but also without effect. The 14th of April last she became one of my patients, and I prescribed the usual formulas which were carefully prepared at my own dispensary, but to her and my regret only gained momentary benefit. I concluded to make trial of the following prescription: R. Celerina... ALETRIS CORDIAL... .8 ounces. .....8 ounces. M. Sig. Two teaspoonfuls half an hour before meals. For injection I prescribed one part WHITE EXTRACT PINUS CANADENSIS with nine parts of water, three times a day. The result has been surprising. I wanted the lady to continue the medicines, but Mrs. H. insisted upon not doing it, for she claimed that having regained her youthful health and vigor, she would need no more medicine at present. C. A. BRUEGMANN, M. D., Marysville, Neb. A full size bottle of ALETRIS CORDIAL will be sent FREE to any Physican who wishes to test it if he will pay the express charges. RIO CHEMICAL CO., St. Louis. |
