Twelfth Edition. October 1888. ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE OK Soluble Medicated Gelatin ANI) OTHER ositorie8 about |>j of an inch in diameter, (eorresj>onding to No. 13 Kr. Scale,) made of .. composition of medicated gelatin which is readily soluble in mucous secretions at the temperature of the liody. When used they are to l>e passed into the urethra and allowed to remain there until dissolved. As the medicating ingredients are thoroughly distributed throughout the gelatin composition of which the liougies are made, the melting of the bougie must necessarily bring them into continued and thorough contact with the mucous walls of the urethra and hence cause them to exercise a most posi- tive therapeutic effect. The bougies also act mechanically by separating the walls of the channel and thus lessen any tendency to the formation of strictures; they are flexible, soft and elastic, yet stiff enough to be easily introduced, and can be handled freely without melting or breaking. Two sizes of the Medicated Bougies are made. The Shout Bougies, 3 inches in length, arc to be used when the seat of the disease is in the anterior part of the urethra. The Long Bougies, inches in length, are to lie used for the treatment of deep-seated disorders and for cases where the entire mucous surface of the urethra is involved. The Medicated Urethral Bougies should lie used but once a day, pre- ferably at night when the patient is retiring and can remain at rest for a length of time. lie should occupy a recumbent jsisition and, having greased the bougie or dipjied it in water for a minute to render it slippery, pass it into the urethra with a gentle rotatory movement until it reaches the depth desired. As some difficulty is experienced by patients in keeping the Ismgie in |>osition while it is melting, and to avoid any soiling of the clothes or person, it is liest secured by means of the Itoi’oiK I loon, (see cut). A pad of absor- bent cotton is to Ik* placed in the jiointed end of the hood, and the bougie having been properly secured bv means of a small strip of plaster placed over the meatus, the hood is then fastened over the head of the penis, by loosely tying the cords attached. It does not constrict or heat the parts, and the cotton absorlw any melted gelatin which may escape. The urine moist always be passed before the bouyie is introduced. Th>' Medicated I’rcthral Bougies are put up in enameled tiu boxes, each box containing U bougies of a kind, with full directions for use.

For the treatment of Deep-Seated Diseases.'of the Urethra, &c. The medicated Prostatic Bougies are short cylindrical suppositories 1 inch long and J inch in diameter. They are intended to he applied to the deeper portions of the urethra by means of the Bougie Carrier represented in the cut, and can be deposited with accuracy in any particular location desired. The Bougie Carrier consists of a llexible metal canula, 10 inches long, the size of a No. 20 Sound (Tr. Scale), bent to a Thompson’s curve and graduated in inches, commencing at the vesical extremity. Into this canula fits a flexible steel stilette tipped with a probe point, and forming, when fitted into the tube, a rounded and smooth end. To introduce the bougies one is placed in the vesical end of the canula, the stilette having been slightly withdrawn, so that about one-third of the bougie protrudes. The instrument should then be well oiled and passed gently into the urethra, until the graduated scale shows the point to have reached the desired part, when a slight push with the stilette will eject the bougie. On account of their shape and size the Prostatic Bougies are also well adapted for the treatment of diseases of the Female Uuetiira. List of Medications. No. 26. Iodoform, 1 gr. 27. Iodoform, 1 gr.

For the Treatment of Uterine Catarrhs, Dysmenorrhcea, &c. The Medicated Intra-Uterine Pencils are short, soluble pencils, vari- ously medicated jnd possessing sufficient firmness and elasticity to admit of their lieing pushed into the cavity of the uterus without Itending or break- ing. They are made of two sizes: The Large Pencils, 3 inches long and of an inch in diameter. The Small Pencils, 3J inches long and of an inch in diameter. The length of these pencils will admit in many cases of their being cut in half and only a portion used at a sitting. The Large Intra-Uterine Pencils are designed for the medication of the puerper.il uterus, for eases of sub-involution, and for cases of chronic catarrh, etc., where the os is patulous, the cervical canal dilated and the womb considerably enlarged. In such cases they will lie found to yield excellent results. The Small Intra-Uterine Pencils, originally recommended by Prof. (ieo. .1. Kngelmatin, M. I>., of St. Louis, (See Weekly Medical Review, March 14, 18X5) are designed for the treatment of cases of dysmenorrlmea, endome- tritis, cervical catarrh, etc., etc., where the uterus is but slightly enlarged and the cervical canal either of normal diameter or constricted. They avoid the necessity of preliminary dilation and can la* used in office prac- tice with convenience and without causing irritation or pain. The Medicated Intra-Uterine Pencils present many advantages and improvements for treating uterine diseases. They separate the mucous sur- faces of the uterine canal and allow the remedy an extended field for action ; by their gradual solution they keen up a prolonged effect, for the medicine is evenly distributed through the Pencil, and as it melts the diseased sur- face is continually being acted ujsin by fresh portions of the remedy; and they can lie promptly and easily applied without producing any unpleasant effect. Being packed in small comjmss and always convenient for use, they are a great convenience to the physician, as they can readily lie carried in the jtocket or medicine case, and dispense with the numerous bottles and para- phernalia ordinarily recommended for the gymmilogist. When usisl they are to be applied by simply pushing* them into the cervical canal or cavity of the uterus by means of the ordinary long dres-sing fnrcc|>s, or more conveniently by means of the Uterine Pencil Carrier rep- resented in the cut. This instrument consists of a curved canula, A, through which passes a flexible steel stilette, II,tipped with a large probe jH>int fitting the canula. The Carrier is made with a shoulder and finger ring, so as to he readily used w ith one hand. A similar form is recommended by Prof. Paul Mundd in his" Minor Surgical Oynieoology,” p. 224, and also in the " Am. Jour. Obstetrics,” Jan., 1881, p. 118. To introduce the Pencils, the closed instrument is to be well oiled and then passed into the uterus in the same manner as the uterine sound, until the constriction of the os internum is reached. The canula is then to be held steady, the stilette w ithdrawn, a Uterine Pencil placed in the tube and pushed forward by means of the stilette until it is ejected into the cavity of the womb. Two sizes of the Pencil Carrier are made, lieing for the small and large size Pencils respectively. They are of soft metal, so that they can be bent without breaking if it is necessary to vary the curve of the instrument, and are thoroughly nickel-plated throughout. 8 List of Medications.

For the Treatment of Vaginitis, Leucon ea, etc., etc. The Medicated Hollow Vaginal Suppositories are made of Medicated gelatin, moulded into a hollow form as shown in the cut. In shape and size they are similar to a finger-stall, being 2J inches long, slightly tapering, and alsait an inch in diameter. The Suppository can Ik- used empty or the cavity can lie packed with absorl>ent or antiseptic cotton, which serves to distend it, ami keep it, while melting, in contact with the walls of the vagina. The advantages of the Vaginal SupiKjsitories may be enumerated as follows: 1. Heing extremely light in weight, they remain in the upper part of tlie vagina until melted, and can he kept in close contact with the os by means of the usual moist cotton tampon. 2. The hollow shape of the suppository avoids the use of the large quantity of inert material contained in the solid vaginal suppository, and hence while more thorough in its action there is very little substance to l>e melted, and escaping soil the clothes and person. For the better class of female patients, this is of great importance, and the Hollow Suppositories have been preferred on that account to any other form of vaginal supposi- tory in use. 3. The gelatin eomj>osition of the suppository causes it to melt slowly, thus medicating the vagina for a length of time, while the cotton plug in the interior keeps the sup[>oeitory in close contact with the vaginal walls until entirely melted, thus effecting the most thorough and prolonged therapeutic action. 4. They can be introduced with ease by the patients themselves, and thus mild applications can lx> kept up between the stronger ones made by the physician, and a continuous effect produced. No. 1.

For the Treatment of Pelvic Indurations, Cellulitis, Ulcerations and Erosions of the Cervix Uteri, etc. The Medicated Gelatin Pessaries, suggested by Dr. Addinell llewson, of Philadelphia, for the treatment of pelvic indurations, etc.,* are a new and valuable modification of the old horse-shoe pessary. They are in the shape of a cylinder or rounded rod, ’6.} inches in length and l inch in diam- eter, made of a flexible, elastic and soluble composition of gelatin and gly- cerine, suitably medicated. This rod or cylinder is so flexible that it can be doubled up or bent on itself in a curve by pressing the two ends of the cylinder together with the fingers, until it assumes the shape of a horse- shoe. When in this form it is to be introduced into the vagina and passed up to and around the neck of the uterus, in the same manner as when applying a ring pessary, the curve of the gelatin horse-shoe being directed upward and backward. When the pressure of the fingers is released from the ends of the horse-shoe the elasticity of the pessary causes it to open out and thus pressing against the walls of the vagina remain securely in position. When properly adjusted the pessary should occupy the position represented in the cut C, encircling the neck of the uterus, the curve of the pessary resting in Douglas’ cul-de-sac. It should also be supported with a light cotton tampon. In the cuts, A represents the pessary itself, B the method of introduction, and C the pessary placed in position. The advantages of this method of medication are many. The pessary being soluble, gradually melts and thus brings its medicating ingredients into prolonged contact with the tissues that surround the neck of the uterus and lie adjacent to the vault of the vagina. In the various chronic inflam- matory pelvic affections these tissues are often swollen, tender, and inflamed, or else the seat of inflammatory deposits and indurations. The usual method of treating these is by local applications with the brush, by vaginal injec- tions, or cotton tampons. The effect of these is necessarily but transient and not to be compared with the prolonged effect of the soluble gelatin pessary. This will remain in position until entirely melted, which Dr. llewson states to be as long as forty-eight hours, and thus, during that entire period, is capable of exerting a medicinal action upon the surround- ing diseased tissues. Asa remedy for the treatment of the different complaints attendant upon versions, flexions and displacements of the uterus, the Pessaries will be found to be extremely valuable, as they afford both the necessary support to the organ and also exert a direct medicinal influence upon it and its sur- rounding tissues. The Medicated Pessaries are also suggested for the treatment of ero- sions, ulcerations, etc., of the cervix uteri, as they bring the medicinal ingredients of their mass directly into contact with the diseased surfaces; and many other valuable uses for these preparations will suggest themselves to the physician when he becomes acquainted with this method of treatment. ♦See Medical Bulletin, September, 1880, 11 N*. 1.

The attention of physicians is especially directed to the Medicated Gelatin Rectal SupjKwitories. Since this class of preparations were first introduced to the notice of the profession their use has Tbecome wide-spread and extensive, and they are rapidly taking the place of the Cacao Rutter Suppository. This preparation has seen its day: it is dirty, greasy, can hardly be handled during warm weather, and is liable to become rancid. The Gelatin Sup|s»sit<>ry is clean, can readily Ik* handled during the warmest weather without melting, is firm yet sufficiently soft and flexible to be easily intro- duced in the rectum without pain, and is readily soluble at the temperature of the Ixsly. Ik ing put up as permanent preparations the Supj*ositories can be kept a long time without suffering injury or losing their solubility; their small hulk and portable character allows of their being easily carried on the person of the physician or in his medicine-case, and thus enables him to have prompt and powerful remedies always at hand. Absorption also proceed* much more quickly owing to the animal nature of the Gelatin, while the Cacao Rutter Suppository forms a greasy coat over the mucous membrane and prevents absorption. Rectal Hupisfeitories are not only of great value in the ordinary appli- cation of remedies, but also give esjtecially good results when disease affects organs which lie in close proximity to the rectum. Rainful disorders of the uterus, bladder, prostate gland and testicles, an- much more quickly relieved hv remedies applied in this manner than when administered by the stomach, as the medicine passes quickly through the absorbent vessels of the rectum to the diseased organ. Suppositories are also absolutely ne- cessary in the treatment of various diseases which affect the rectum itself, such as luemorrhoids, fissure and fistula of the anus, ulcerations, etc., etc. 12 Medicated Rectal Suppositories.—U.

In the case of children a laxative suppository is particularly useful, as it avoids the struggle which is usually exj)erienced when these generally disagreeable and nauseous remedies are attempted to be administered. These supjKjsitories produce a natural and easy move- ment of the bowels, in a short time, without any griping or evil after effects. Two different combinations and sizes are made, adapted respectively for children and adults. Adult's 8izk—Each suppository contains, Aloes Purif., 1-2 gr., Podo- phyllin, 1-8 gr., Ext. Hyoscyamus, 1-2 gr., Pulv. Ipecac, 1-10 gr.i and Ext. Nux Vomica, 1-4 gr. Children's Si/.k.—Each suppository contains, Aloes Purif., 1-4 gr., Podo phyllin, 1 16 gr., Ext. Hyoscyamus, 1-4 gr., Pulv. Ipecac, 1-20 gr. They are put up in boxes, each box containing one dozen suppositories of a kind. Price, per Box, Retail, 50 cents. Physicians, 40 oents. PILE SUPPOSITORIES. Owing to frequent demands for a suppository for the treatment and relief of I hemorrhoids which would be suited for general use, the follow- ing combination is now submitted. Jt has l>een practically tested by numerous physicians and found to be very valuable in the treatment of this distressing complaint. Formula.—Each sup|>ository contains, Ergotin, 1 gr., Goulards Extract, 1 gr., Carbonate Lead, 2 grs., Carbolic Acid, 1-8 gr., Ext. Stramo- nium, 1-2 gr., Ext. Opium Aq., 1-2 gr.

For the the Treatment of Internal Hcemorrhoids, Catarrh, and Ulcerations of the Rectum, etc., etc. The Rectal Bougies are made of the shape of a cigar and taper to each extremity, one end being pointed, the other blunt. This peculiar shape has several advantages: when the bougie is introduced, which should be by the pointed end, it is only necessary to push it past the point of greatest diameter, when the contraction of the sphincter uni muscle, pressing upon the remaining tapering portion of the bougie, will cause it to slip easily up into the rectum. Again, the enlargement of the bougie at the pointed end prevents it from slipping out or being ejected from the rectum until entirely dissolved. The Rectal Bougies, by their size, distend the rectum and thus keep up a continuous and beneficial pressure upon its walls, tending to relieve the condition of venous congestion and engorgement which accompany most rectal troubles. By their continuous dilating effect they also diminish and relieve muscular irritability and spasm. At the same time while these two beneficial influences are being exerted, a selected medicinal remedy is brought by the gradual melting of the bougie into thorough and prolonged contact with a large extent of the mucous surface of the rectum, and is thereby placed in a position to exercise a most powerful and immediate therapeutic effect. To recapitulate, the advantages of the Rectal Bougies may be briefly summed up as follows: 1. Pressure. 2. Continuous Dilatation. 3. Thorough and extended medicinal action. When used, the Rectal Bougies are to be dipped into warm water for a few moments and then gently pushed into the rectum, passing the pointed end first. Table of Medications. No. 1.

The advantages of this method of treatment are: that it is absolutely aseptic, there is no formation of pus :is a rule, but only of a serous secretion, such as is fonnd under a Lister dressing; that it has an anodyne effect; that the morbid action of the tissues is changed; and that a gently stimulating action is maintained uj»on the diseased part which gradually restores it to a healthy condition. In no class of cases is the benefit of Iodoform more marked than in the treatment of fistula*. The successful treatment of fistula* in different parts of the Ualv is a difficult task for the most skillful surgeon. Stimula- ting injections have very little effect, owing to the difficulty of bringing them in contact with the morbid surfaces of the fistulous tract; the pain and slow action of the seton and the ligature render them methods to l>e but little desired ; and although the knife often affords the only cure, the natural shrinking on the part of the patient from anything which involves an operation is sufficient to prevent successful treatment. Any method, therefore, which will render the task of overcoming these difficult cases more easy, and will avoid the terrors of the knife, is one that will be gladly welcomed by the patient as well as the physician. The manufacturer believes that this method has lx*en found in the Iodoform Fistfi.a ('rayons, and commends them to the notice of the medical profession as remedies worthy of the most careful consideration. Them* crayons are long, thin [tencils, four inches in length, tapering to a |m>ilit at one end, and of three different sizes in diameter, as follows: A size —2.38 mm. in diameter (als.ut of an inch). B size—3.(17 mm. in diameter (about .5S of an inch). C size—5.0*J mm. in diameter (al>out of an inch). Kach crayon contains thirty-three jier cent, of Iodoform, incorporated with a compound of gelatin and glycerin, forming a soluble pencil, which, being elastic and very flexible, will traverse the most tortuous and twisted fistulous tract, where the stiff metal probe would be of no avail. The pencil living thus brought into direct contact with the morbid surfaces, and gradually melting there, must necessarily bring the remedy into the most thorough and prolonged action, and cause it to exercise in the liest possible manner its special therapeutic action. When ust*d, the crayon should be well oiled, and then inserted with a gentle twisting motion into the fistula until it has penetrated to the desired depth. The protruding portion, if any, can Ik* cut off, and a small pad dusted with Iodoform placed over the part and secured with a suitable bandage. The crayon can Ik* renewed at intervals of from one to three days, as found most necessary. The Meiucatki) Kistfi.a (’rayons are put up in enameled tin 110x1*8, each Iki.x containing ten crayons of one size. PRICE PER BOX:- A Size. Prescription Price. $1.00; to Physicians. 75c.

For the Treatment of Diseases of the Mouth, Pharynx, Larynx, etc. The four principal features which should cnaracterize a standard and efficient medicated throat lozenge are: SMOOTH AND SOFT CONSISTENCE, so as to avoid irritation in inflamed and painful conditions of the throat. ACCURACY OF DOSE. PLEASANT AND PALATABLE TASTE. GRADUATED SOLUBILITY. Thus giving the remedy employed ample time for action during the slow and gradual solution of the lozenge. The use of glvco-gelatin (glycerin-jelly) as a basis for throat lozenges has been strongly recommended by Dr. Prosser James and Dr. W. McNeill Whistler, both physicians to the celebrated London Hospital for Throat Diseases, and in the last edition of the Pharmacopoeia of that institution the gelatin basis has been specially recognized, and a new class of prepara- tions formulated under the officinal title of “Pastille” Dr. Whistler says: “The Pastilles are specially suitable to cases of inflammation of the tongue and palate, and their mucilaginous nature gives much relief in dryness of the throat.” The advantages of the “gelatin basis” may be briefly enumerated as follows: 1. It is non-irritating. 2. It dissolves gradually in the mouth and furnishes a large quantity of mucilage, so that the remedy is kept in contact with the affected part for a long time. 3. The adhesive and slowly soluble character of the gelatin basis tends to coat the mouth and throat with a bland, non-irritating medium, which acts as a demulcent, and at the same time keeps the remedy in intimate and thorough contact with the diseased surfaces. 4. The medicinal remedy being in a state of SOLUTION instead of being mechanically mixed with sugar, starch, etc., exerts an immediate local effect as soon as the lozenge commences to dissolve, and produces a prompt and pow- erful therapeutic impression often lasting for hours. 5. The soft consistence of the lozenge prevents it from irritating the mouth when in an inflamed or ulcerated condition. These Lozenges are strictly medicinal preparations and as such must be used with care. In all cases they contain the full and accurate amount of medicinal ingredients indicated on their respective labels, and can be relied upon as remedies of standard strength. By carefully se- lected combinations of the various fruit flavors a series of lozenges of agree- able and palatable taste are presented, grateful to the inflamed or sensitive throat, and of a soft and non-irritating consistence. They are permanent preparations and will retain all their properties unchanged for an indefi- nite period. The Throat Lozenges are divided into three classes: 1. The Regular Formulae, embracing those which can be recom- mended for general use where the symptoms are not severe enough to call for special medication. 2. The London Tiiroat Hospital Formulas, embracing the dif- ferent medications recommended in the Pharmacopoeia of that institution. In these, wherever practicable, the currant fruit juice is employed for its grateful and cooling action. They are specially recommended where an immediate local effect is desired. 3. The Special Formula:, embracing medications adapted for the special treatment of various forms of throat disease, and prescriptions of prominent physicians. Directions for Use.—When using the Gelatin Throat Lozenges, the patient should be directed to allow them to dissolve passively in the mouth, without biting,.sucking or chewing them, and fluids should not be drunk for some time after their use. • 17 List of Medications.

For the Treatment of Diseases of the Lachrymal Sac, Nasal Duct, Etc The Medicated Lachrymal Bougies, are thin pencils about three inches in length and tapering from the diameter of a No. 8 to that of a No. 4 Bowman’s probe. They are made of medicated gelatin and are of suffi- cient stiffness to be easily passed into the lachrymal sac and nasal duct. The solubility of these bougies is so adjusted as to render them much more slowly soluble than the other gelatin preparations, and a number of hours will be required before they will be entirely dissolved. This method is necessary for the proper treatment of these diseases, and by its means not only is a prolonged and thorough action of the medicating ingredient obtained, but the duct is also subject to continuous dilation by a non- irritating and flexible substance. This is much less liable to cause inflam- mation from its use than the leaden probe often employed. It is believed that with these bougies many cases of lachrymal obstruction can be either greatly relieved or entirely cured with but little pain or inconvenience to the patient. No. 1.

Medicated Nasal Bougies were first suggested by Dr. George Catti, assistant at the Vienna Laryngoscopic Clinic, as an improved and very efficient method for applying remedies to the nasal cavities. They are made of medicated gelatin and are about three inches long, slightly conical, about %-)/(> of an inch in thickness, and very soft and smooth. When employed, the smaller pointed end of the bougie is placed in the nose, and then rotating, pushed gently backward until it is completely in the nasal passage. The introduction of a foreign body into the nose almost always causes increased secretion, and from this cause the gelatin becomes liquified and 19 flows out of the anterior nnres. This is to lx* prevented by tamponing the a|>erture with Home charpie, so that the melted gelatin iH caused to How out through the posterior nan s and into the vault of the pharynx, from whence it is to he removed by coughing or “hawking.” In from one-half to two hours the liougie will l>e entirely dissolved. The employment of these gelatin bougies for the treatment of diseases of the nasal passages would seem to he extremely rational; firxt, they afford a means by which medicaments can lie kept, in contact for a long time with the diseased mucous membrane; aeeonauf, they are easily tole- rated by the patients; and, thirdly, they produce, even if in only a slight degree, a mechanical pressure ii|>on the nasal mucosa. The introduction of the bougie can lie accomplished very quickly and easily, so much so that every patient win learn, without trouble, to apply them. They should U- used every day or every other day, in one or both nostrils, as the ease may require, or they can i>e employed in lioth n:isul passages at the same lime. In the treatment of obstinate chronic nasal catarrh, with or without swelling, of post nasal catarrh, of scrofulous and syphilitic owena, of hemorrhages, ulcerations and siqierficial erosions, and many other forms of nasal disease the Medicatkd Nasal Bouoikh have rendered excellent service. They are now recognized in the Pharmaeojweia of the London Throat Hospital and the manufacturer takes pleasure in stating that those of his manufacture are in extended use in this country and are highly endorse* 1 hv eminent authorities. Tiie Medicated Nasal Bougies are put up in enameled tin boxes, each box containing twelve Bougies ot a kind. List of Medications. No. 3. Hydrastis Oansd., 5 grs. 8. Sulphate Zinc, 1 nr.

Within the past few years considerable attention has been devoted by dermatologists to fixed adhesive dressings as a method of applying medi- cinal substances to the skin. The old methods of treating cutaneous affec- tions have been open to many serious disadvantages. Powders rubbed oft easily and were apt to form irritating crusts on exuding surfaces; lotions quickly evaporated; and ointments, although the most efficient of all, were also easily rubbed off, soon became rancid, and were an uncleanly form of dressing. Several different methods of obviating’these conditions have been proposed: 1. The Medicated Gelatin Plaster or Bandage. 2. The Medicated Collodion Dressing. 3. The Medicated Gutta Percha Dressing, or Traumaticin. (1.) The Medicated Gelatin Plaster, first suggested by Sigmund, of Vienna, and afterwards much improved by Pick, and Unna and Beiers- dorf, consists in the use of a glycerin jelly, prepared from gelatin and gly- cerin, as a vehicle with which the different remedies are incorporated. This is solid at ordinary temperatures, but readily melts on the application of heat, and is then painted over the affected surface in a thin layer, by means of a stiff brush. It dries in a few minutes and forms a flexible elastic covering, perfectly excluding the air, and not rubbing off or soiling the clothing. It is easily applied and can be quickly removed by the ap- plication of hot water. (2.) The Medicated Collodion Dressing, for which credit is mainly due to Dr. Geo. H. Fox, of New York, consists in the incorporation or solution of various medicinal substances in collodion. This medicated oollodion is painted on the affected part with a brush and allowed to dry. (3.) Tiie Medicated Gutta Percha Dressing, or ‘‘Traumaticin” of Auspitz, is a strong solution of gutta percha in chloroform, to which various remedies are added. It is applied in a manner similar to the collodion. It is claimed for these last two preparations that they form delicate, neutral, durable and invariable dressings, perfectly elastic and exceedingly well adapted for certain localized chronic disorders affecting the hands and fingers, the crease o'f the thigh, the toes, etc. They are not well adapted to acute affections, owing to the stimulating character of the solvents; for these the gelatin plaster should always be employed. Dr. P. A. Morrow, in a recent paper read before the N. Y. Academy of Medicine, sums up the advantages of these methods of treatment as follows; (1.) The complete protection of the part, and the exclusion of air. (a.l The securing of the direct action of the drug employed upon the parts affected. (3.) The maintenance of a gentle and uniform compression. (4.) Complete cleanliness. The following general conclusions were reached by Dr. Morrow: (1.) The adoption of the method of fixed adhesive applications marks a decided advance in cutaneous therapeutics. (a.) It is admirably adapted for certain special purposes. (3.) It constitutes the most efficient means of treating hyperaemic condi- tions accompanied by epithelial aggregations, derangements of the capillary circulation in certain neurotic conditions, and in circumscribed lesions gen- erally. The uses of these fixed adhesive dressings promise to be almost innu- merable. They are adapted for nearly all the purposes for which plasters and ointments are now used, and in addition can be applied to surfaces and situations where previously it had been almost impossible to make a local 21 application, either on account of the constant movement of the part or the peculiar conformation of the lx>dy. Tor dermic medication their value has already been pointed out, and in the treatment of local ulcers, gouty, swol- len and inflamed joints, venereal sores, for applying blisters, and for making rubefacient, stimulating or sedative applications, they will l>e found to be equally if not more effectual, and vastly more convenient, than any other form of treatment. Medicated Gelatin Plasters. The Medicated Gelatin Plasters arc put up in strong wide mouthed glass Iwttles of two sizes. The two ounce size for ordinary use and the kioht ounce size for hospitals, dispensaries and for continued use. The two ounce size contains sufficient phister to cover 12o square inches of surface in a thin layer. Each bottle is accompanied with a suitable brush for applying the plaster, and with full directions for use. Price to Physician*: A ox. sixe, per Bottle, 75 Cts.j 8 ox. stxe, $1.50. No. 1.

A good, reliable quality of Coca leaves, capable of producing satisfactory therapeutic results, should contain at least sixty-five one-hundredths of one per cent, of its alkaloids; this proportion therefore has been adopted for the standard strength of all my Coca preparations. Each lot of Coca is assayed, its percentage of active principle determined, and then such quantity of the drug employed as will yield a preparation corresponding to the above standard of medicinal strength. STANDARD WINE OF COCA.—The Standard Wine of Coca contains, in a very palatable and agreeable form, the medicinal virtues of the Coca leaf, with the tonic and stimulating properties of a pure and generous wine. It presents a pre- paration very valuable for the treatment of eenemia, chlorosis, convalescence from acute maladies, chronic wasting diseases, scrofula, phthisis, and the many stomachic and digestive disorders. It is made from a native American Catawba Wine, perfectly pure, of good age and body, containing about fourteen per cent, of alcohol and from thirteen to sixteen per cent, of solid matters, such as sugar, extractive, salts, etc., thus being capable of conveying a certain amount of nourishment to the system as well as alcoholic stimulus. The Standard Wine of Coca is made of such strength that each fluid ounce (29.57 C. c.) contains about one-fifth grain (0.0129 gramme) of the alkaloids of the Coca leaf (0.05 per cent.), determined by titration, and represents the medicinal constituents of thirty grains (1.95 grammes) of a superior quality of the drug. Dose.—From one-half to one wineglassful between meals, or as required. Put up in one pint amber flint bottles. Retail Price, $1.00. ELiXIR COCA COMP. (Elixir Aphrodisiaca.)—Each fluid ounce of this preparation represents sixty grains of Coca Leaves, “standard strength,” thirty grains of Damiana, five grains Ignatia, and sixty grains of the solution of the Acid Phosphates of Lime, Iron and Soda, combined with a very superior old Port Wine. In the Elixir Aphrodisiaca, the effect of these two powerful remedies, Coca and Damiana, is both modified and enhanced by their combination with a small amount of Ignatia, and with the Acid Phosphates of Lime, Iron and Soda, these latter agents having a special effect as reparative and restorative tonics to nervous tissue. In its influence upon the disordered reproductive system, the Elixir Aphrodisiaca, is gentle and gradual in its action. It does not produce immedi. ately or in a comparatively short time a condition of strong erotic excitement, for such a state of affairs is generally followed by a corresponding condition of mental depression, which is to be especially avoided. It acts gradually and gently, and slowly restores tone and vigor to the nervous system. After the use of the first one or two bottles of the Elixir, improvement will usually be noticed, hut for permanent effect several bottles must be taken, and the treatment must be con" tinned until full restoration to health is accomplished. The patient must therefore be properly informed as to its gradual effect, so that he will not be discouraged at the non-appearance of immediate results. The Elixir Aphrodisiaca is recommended as a gentle sexual stimulant and in- vigorant, and is especially useful for the treatment of sexual debility, impotence, spermatorrhoea, prostatorrhoea. and other functional and nervous disturbances of the generative apparatus. It is also a valuable remedy in the treatment of amenorrhcea, sterility, sexual apathy, etc., in tne female when dependent upon a general reduction of nervous tone and vitality. Dose.—One-half to one tablespoonful several times a day. Put up in one pint bottles. Retail Price, $1.25. 23 COCA LOZENGES.—(See also p. lf>.) Since these lozenges were introduced to the profession about a year ago, they have become very jiop- ular. and are being used in considerable quantities throughout the country. Their merits can be ln-st described in the following abstract from the N. x. Miilical Journal, Feb. 28th, 1885 : “ In tin* form of GELATIN LOZENGES, we have used coca, both in combina- tion with aconite and with Is-lladoiiiia, and alone. Alone it has Is-en of very great service in all forms of sore throat, and lias is-cn freely and successfully used among our dvspliagic patients during the intervals of their visits. The combination with bello<(onna and aconite was found extremely useful in acute inflammation. “In chronic pharyngitis and laryngitis, although many patients declared them- selves improved, it did not appear that any were permanently is-nefited, the rebel consisting principally in the amelioration of tin; tired, uneasy sensation in tho throat. The gelatin lozenges were prepared according to the following formulae: The unionut in each lozenge. No. 22. R K*t. eocie fl., gr. v : Slake one lozenge. No. 22. Ext. 0000 fl., gr. v: Tlnct rad. aconitt, gr. ss: Tinet. belladonna), gr. j. “Tho gelatin vehicle or basis used in theso lozenges renders them exceedingly well adapted for the treatment of inflammatory conditions of the throat, as its bland and demulcent character assists the peculiar action of the coca, while its slow and gradual solution in tho moutli allows of the prolonged effect and influence of the coca upon the mucous surfaces. The coca lozenges are also exceedingly useful in laryn- goscopy where the throat of the patient is extremely irritable; for, if several lozenges are directed to is- taken at intervals a short time before the examination, tho undue sensitiveness will measurably disappear.” (Louis Jurist, M. I)., instructor in Laryngo- logy amt Chief of Throat Clinic in Jefferson Medical College Hospital.) The Coen I*ozengcs are put up in tin lxixes, each containing thirty lOxenges, also in hulk, in one pound cans. To Physicians, Prioe per Box, 40 Cts. Betail, 50 Cts. COC A-BOL A M ASTIC ATOR Y.—Oocu-liola is a masticatory or chew- ing paste, hy which the Coca Leaves can l>e used in the same manner as the plant is employed hy the Peruvian Indians. A small portion chewed occasionally acts as a powerful tonic to the muscular and nervous system, enabling the chewor to perform additional laltor, and also relieves fatigue and exhaustion, without evil after-effects, it contains no injurious ingredients, and is perfectly harmless. Each plug contains aisnit forty percent, of Coca Leaves, combined with a small quantity of Tea, Cotfee and Cinchona Park. Prof. W. F. Waugh,* in a paper read liefore the Pennsylvania State Medical Society, calls attention to the great value of Ooca-isda as a substitute for Tobacco, Alcohol and Opium, in the treatment of those habits. It relieves tho insufferable craving for stimulants, prevents depression, nausea, loss of appetite, etc., and greatly assists in tho cure. Coea-bola is an excellent substitute for totiacco for those who desire to break off tho habits <>f chewing or smoking. It lias an agreeable, bitter aromatic taste, it relieves the congestion of the mucous.membrane of the mouth, and acts as a general tonic, stimulant and sustaining agent, to take the place of the toiwceo. In this last respect it is vastly superior to all “tobacco substitutes,” “chewing gums," etc., etc., which are merely combinations of licorice-root and other inert ingredients. Its uso can at any time lie suspended after tho person lias lost the desire for tobacco. Coca-l>ola should t»o used by chewing one of the small squares marked on the ping, and swallowing tho saliva. When the strength is chewed out and extracted the quid should be rejected. It should l>o used at occasional intervals, ns needed through- out the day. To get its full effect it will bo necessary to use several squares. Coca-boln is put up in two sizes; tho “Small Size,” containing one plug, in a neat ]>a|«T carton, retails at 25 cents; tho “Lakgb Size,” containing two plugs in a hand sumo enameled tin pocket t>ox, retails for 50 cents. Small Size, 25 Cents. • A reprint of Prof. Wtujh'a paper* will be mailed free, upon application, to auj who mar feel iuler acted la the subject.
