T'HERAPEUTICS (which word is derived from the 
*■ Greek therapeuo, I wait upon, I attend upon the 
sick, I alleviate), means the explanation of the 
modus operandi of medicines (Dunglison), and a medi- 
cine is any substance which may be used in alleviating 
the sick; medicines are therefore therapeutic agents. 
But other agents, such as the forces of nature, (light, heat, 
electricity, edl.,) aCtions of the physician or nurse (surgi- 
cal operations, massage, etc.) and efforts of the patient 
himself (dieting, exercise, etc.), are also used in alleviat- 
ing the sick, and must therefore be classed as therapeu- 
tic agents, but they are not medicines. This latter' class 
of therapeutic agents need not be considered in this little 
volume but a short description of the many little details 
in connection with the first class, which so easily slip the 
memory and which no physician should be ashamed to 
look up in a convenient book, will be given in the fol- 
lowing pages. The author disclaims all intention of 
teaching the reader anything that he does not or should 
not already know, and begs simply to lay this book 
before the medical public as a convenient vade mecum or 
easy book of reference, wherewith to refresh the mem- 
ory and to which to turn in moments of doubt. 
Medicines are administered as therapeutic agents in 
a variety of ways for the purpose of combating disease, 
and should be selected for a given case, so that their 
physiological action upon the system, or part of the 
same, shall counteract the abnormal condition present 
and bring about a return to the normal state. For 
instance, Pilocarpin has the physiological effeCt of 4 
increasing the secretion of the sweat, and of stimulating 
the glands secreting watery fluids, such as the tears and 
salivary glands, it is therefore indicated in cases in which 
suppression of secretion exists, as for instance, in the 
febrile stages of many diseases, the immediate effedt 
oeing a profuse sweating and a consequent lowering of 
the temperature. Or again, if we use Atropia in the eye 
for the purpose of breaking up adhesion of the iris, we 
make use of the physiological adlion of the drug which 
is to dilate the pupil. These examples will show the 
meaning of the above definition. But most medicines 
have more than one definite physiological action and it 
becomes necessary to enhance the one or counteract the 
other, which may be done by combining medicines. For 
instance, if we give small doses of Calomel for its aCtion 
upon the liver and the alimentary canal, we can enhance 
its adtion by combining it with an alkali such as Bicar- 
bonate of Soda ; or if we give Aloes as a drastic purge we 
can mitigate the griping produced by the drug by com- 
bining with it some aromatic, as cardamom or some essen- 
tial oil, as oil ot cloves. 
Medicines are also combined in order to produce 
their physiological effeCt upon different parts of the sys- 
tem at the same time, as for instance, when a mixture of 
Potassium Bromide, Potassium Cyanide, ExtraCt Flui- 
dum Prunus Virginiana, syrup and water is given as 
an expeClorant or cough mixture. In this instance the 
Potassium Bromide is intended as a nerve sedative, the 
Potassium Cyanide as a sedative to allay the irritation 
of the mucous membrane of the respiratory traCl, the 
Prunus Virginiana as a tonic expeCtorant and the syrup 
and water as a vehicle. And finally medicines are com- 
bined with a view to make them more agreeable to the 
senses of the patient, and in some degree rob them of 
their nauseous qualities. 
It should, however, always be borne in mind when 
combining medicines, that some drugs are antagonistic

to each other in their physiological action, or that they 
may form new chemical compounds when brought 
together or when introduced into the system, or that 
they will make a nauseous mixture when combined. 
Medicines may be administered in a variety of ways, 
one or the other of which should be selected according 
to circumstances. Thus, the usual method of giving 
medicines is by the mouth, to be swallowed and absorbed 
into the system, but it may also be given by injection 
into the bowels, or under the skin by the hypodermatic 
method, or it may be given by inhalation to be absorbed 
by the lungs, or may be used as a topical application to 
the skin or mucous membranes of the body. 
Physicians in larger cities and towns do not usually 
dispense medicines to their patients direct, but write an 
order for the drugs they wish to give, which is termed a 
prescription. This prescription is taken to a druggist or 
apothecary, whose duty it is to mix the drugs or medi- 
cines ordered by the physician for the patient, and who 
usually keeps the prescription on file, becoming thus the 
custodian of the same. In these prescriptions certain 
abbreviations and signs are used which are remnants of 
the old and now obsolete style of writing prescriptions in 
Latin, which was done in order to prevent the patient 
from knowing what was prescribed for him. But since 
these abbreviations and signs are still in use in prescrip- 
tion writing, a list of the more common ones is given. 
All those referring to the directions for the patient are 
left out because this part of the prescription is intended 
to be read by him and should therefore under all circum- 
stances be written in plain legible English.

The dose of the medicines to be given is of the 
utmost importance, and the physician in writing a pre- 
scription should never be uncertain as to the corredt 
maximum or minimum dose to be given in any case. He 
should always take into consideration the age of the 
patient, idiosyncrasies toward certain drugs, if such exist 
in the individual, and tolerance of the system to the 
effects of medicines produced by continued use or by 
other conditions, and should carefully gauge accordingly, 
the dose of the medicines he wishes to prescribe. Care- 
lessness in this portion of the art of prescription writing 
is very dangerous, for the difference between a poison 
and a medicine in most instances lies only in the amount 
given. And further, many drugs have a different physi- 
ological adtion when given in different doses, as for 
instance, Ipecac which adts as an anti-emetic and stom- 
achic in doses of l/e and % grains, while if given in doses 
of from to grains it adts as an expedlorant and 
diaphoretic, and finally if the dose is increased to 2 to 4 
grains it adts as an emetic. 
William R. Warner. WEIGHTS AND MEASURES. 
The amount of each drug in a prescription is express- 
ed in grains, scruples, drachms, ounces and pounds ; if 
it be a liquid, in minims, drachms, ounces, pints and 
gallons, which weights and measures are designated by 
the followning signs: 
SYMBOLS USED IN PRESCRIPTION WRITING. 
gr.=Grain ; gtt.=Drop ; TTl=Minim ; 9=Scruple; 
3 =Drachm ; =Ounce ; 0=Pint; C=Gallon ; lb= 
Pound. 
The amount is expressed by Roman numerals placed 
after the symbol. For the sake of completness a table 
of the apothecaries’ weights and measures are here- 
given.

WARNER’S REFERENCE BOOK. 
In France and Germany and to some extent in this 
country, the metric system of weights and measures is 
used in prescription writing, and then the amount is 
placed in ordinary figures after the symbol.

1 Gramme —the weight of a cubic centimeter of 
water at 40 C. 
1 Decigramme =one-tenth part of a gramme. 
1 Centigramme =one-hundreth part of a gramme. 
1 Milligramme =one-thousandth part of a gramme. 
To make Decagrammes, move the decimal point one 
place to the left; Hectogrammes, move it two places to

twenty-four hours of the interval of time which is to 
elapse between the doses is written in plain English, and 
as fluid measures, spoons, tumblers and cups are gene- 
rally designated, although it wTould be safer and more 
correct to order the patient to procure a medicine glass, 
which is graduated into drachms and ounces, as the capa- 
city of different spoons, tumblers, and cups varies greatly.

In the same way it is safer to prescribe the small 
•amounts of liquids in minims and not in drops as is so 
frequently done, because the number of drops in the fluid 
drachm varies greatly with different liquids.

The number of drops also depends largely on what kind

In writing a prescription containing more than one 
Ingredient, a certain order of the different drugs should 
always be observed, and the physiological, chemical and 
pharmaceutical action of the different articles entering 
into the compound should determine their position. The 
main symptoms of the disease to be combated, calling 
for a certain medicine to be given, determines this latter 
as the basis of the prescription, and it should be placed 
at the head. The second place is taken by the adjuvant, 
that drug or medicine which shall assist the basis in its 
action, and more than one adjuvant may be used, follow- 
ing each other according to their importance. The third

place is taken by the corrective which counteracts certain 
undesirable qualities of either the basis or the adjuvants, 
and finally the vehicle is placed last on the list. The 
next step is to determine the single dose of the basis and 
adjuvants and of the corrective if the latter is needed, 
and also to fix upon the number and size of the doses to 
be taken by the patient, which latter will determine the 
quantity of the vehicle sufficient to make up the full 
amount of mixture, and finally the single dose of the 
basis and adjuvants being multiplied with the number of 
doses to be taken by the patient, gives the gross amount 
of each of the drugs. For instance, Potassium Bromide, 
Potassium Cyanide, Ext. fl. Prunus Virginiana, Syr. 
Simplex and water are to be given as a cough mixture. 
In this case the Cyanide is the basis, the Bromide and the 
Prunus Virginiana the adjuvants, while the Syrup is the 
corrective and the water the vehicle. A prescription

POSOLOGICAL TABLE. 
In tliis table an alphabetical list is given of the most com- 
monly used drugs and their most valuable pharmaceutical 
preparations, together with the minimum and maximum 
dose for adults, in apothecary weights and in the metric system 
and finally the common name of the drug or preparation, and 
also the physiological action of the different drugs and their 
preparations. The particular use to which these medicines are 
put in combating disease cannot be added in a table of this 
kind, nor is it necessary or advisable to do so, as the physician 
must be the best judge what particular drug to use in a given 
case, and should he be in doubt as to the best means to attain 
the desired result, he has other books which he can refer to 
for more detailed information as to the action of drugs.

AID IN MEMORIZING DOSES. 
To commit the pharmacopceal doses to memory without 
something like artificial means, is next to an impossibility. 
Here are laid down some general rules with their exceptions, 
w’hich are thoroughly reliable, and, as far as they go, tend to 
render the memorizing of dosage a pleasure rather than a toil. 
They are as follows : 
1. The dose of all infusions is i to 2 ozs., except infusion of 
digitalis, which is 2 to 4 drs. 
2. Dose of all poisonous tinctures is 5 to 20 minims, except 
tincture of aconite, Dig. and Nux. which is 1 to 5. 
3. Dose of all wines is from to 1 fl. dr., except wine of 
opium, Coleh. Radix, which is 5 to 15 minims. 
4. Of all poisonous solid extracts you can give yi gr. 
except extract of calabar beau and Cannab. Ind. which is iTa to 
X grains. Extr. Belladon., X gr. 
5. Dose of all dilute acids is from 5 to 20 minims, except 
dilute hydrocyanic acid, which is 2 to 8 minims. 
6. Dose of all aquae is from 1 to 2 ozs., except aqua lauro 
cerasus and aqua ammonia, which is 10 to 30 minims. 
7. Of all syrups you can give 1 dr. 
8. Dose of all mixtures is from X to 1 fl. oz. 
9. Dose of all spirits is from X to 1 fl. dr. 
10. Dose of all essential oils is from 1 to 5 minims. 
Doses for Hypodermatic Injections and Formulae for 
Solutions. 
The hypodermatic method of medication is used in all cases 
in which immediate and decided results are to be obtained. 
There are several details in this method which should be care- 
fully observed, and which are outlined in a few words. 
i. The syringe and needles should be scrupulously clean 
and the piston of the syringe should be air tight, which may be 34 
WARNFR’S RFFFRFNCF BOOK. 
tested in the following manner. Place the index finger of one 
hand over the top of the syringe and draw with the other hand 
the piston out to its full length, then let go the piston, and if it 
is air tight it will return to its former position. 
2. The point of the needle should be as sharp as possible 
and the little wire or bristle should be inserted immediately 
after cleansing the needle to prevent rusting and clogging of 
the capillary tube. 
3. In making an injection care should be taken to expel 
all air from the syringe and needle before the latter is inserted 
into the fold of the skin, held between the thumb and fore fin- 
ger of the left hand. 
4. The needle should be thrust beneath the skin with a 
quick motion, and in a slanting direction until its point is freely 
movable in the subdermal cellular tissue. After the withdrawal 
of the needle, the finger should be pressed over the puncture for 
a few seconds to prevent the return of the fluid. 
5. Veins, inflamed spots and bony prominences should be 
avoided, unless the injection is made for a special purpose. 
6. The fleshy part of the arms and legs and the abdomen 
are the most convenient places for injections with the hypoder- 
matic syringe, except in the case of corrosive sublimate solution, 
which should always be injected under the skin of the back on 
either side of the spinal column. 
7. The solutions should be freshly made and filtered, and 
should be neutral so as to prevent the formation of abscesses.

Most of the more common remedies for hypodermatic medi- 
cation are now manufactured in tablet form, each tablet containing 
the required dose and readily soluble in water, so that the physi- 
cian can carry a number of different drugs in his case, together 
with the syringe and readily use them when occasion requires. 
35 
INCOMPATIBLES. 
Incompatibles are those combinations of drugs in a prescrip, 
tion which interfere with each other, either in a physiological 
sense, that is, their physiological action is opposed, as for 
instance Opium and Belladonna, or in a chemical sense where 
two substances when brought in contact form a new chemical 
compound different in action from either of the two compounds, 
as for instance, Hydrochloric Acid and Calomel which forms 
corrosive sublimate, or an acid and an alkali which neutralize 
each other and form a salt with the evolution of gas. And 
finally, in a pharmaceutical sense, when drugs are prescribed in 
combination which will not make a mixture pleasant to the 
senses, or which cannot be brought into the required form, as 
for instance, the combination of Iron or its salts with any drug 
containing Tannic Acid, which will form the tannate of Iron or 36 
ink ; or a combination of oil and a watery extract which will 
not mix. In this latter case however, the difficulty is overcome 
by the art of pharmacy, which has devised means of mixing oil 
and water in the form of an emulsion by the aid of other inert 
substances. 
The space of this little volume is too limited to give an 
alphabetical table of incompatibles, and therefore, only the gene- 
ral principles are given ; which however will be sufficient to aid 
the memory of the reader and enable him to avoid glaring mis- 
takes which might injure him in the estimation of his patients.

POISONS AND THEIR ANTIDOTES. 
WITH A FEW HINTS AS TO THE TREATMENT OF THE CASES, 
It is frequently the case, especially in children or in crimi. 
nal cases, that the particular poison which has been ingested, is 
not known to the physician and he should then direct his atten- 
tion to eliminating every trace of ingesta from the stomach by giving a brisk emetic of mustard which is usually found in 
every household, and if possible use the stomach pump. This 
instrument works on the syphon principle and empties the 
stomach of its contents more rapidly than an emetic would, and 
is used in those cases in which emesis can not be induced in the 
vrdinary wTay. Great care should be exercised in its use so as 
not to injure the mucous membrane of the oesophagus or stom- 
ach, particularly where irritant poisons have been swal- 
lowed. 
Calcined M agnesia, Charcoal and Sesqui Oxide of Iron in 
combination sh ould next be given with a sufficient quantity of 
water, and then the particular symptoms should be noted with a 
view to determine the character of the poison, so that its phy- 
ological action may be combated by appropriate remedies, and 
this should be be put in writing so that in case the patient dies 
and the physician is called on the witness stand he can refer to 
his notes of the case. 
Antidotes where the poison is known are divided into two 
classes, chemical and physiological. The first class acts by 
chemically decomposing the poison or forming with it inert 
combinations, so as to destroy its action upon the system, while 
the second class acts antagonistically to the physiological action 
of the poison. Thus where an acid has been swallowed give an 
alkali, such as magnesia or white w7ash scraped off the walls so 
as to neutralize the acid, and if a depressant poison such as 
opium is in the system, give stimulants such as friction with cold 
water, coffee, atropia, and exercise.

MARSHALL HALL’S READY METHOD IN ASPHYXIA. 
I. Treat the patient instantly on the spot, in the open air, 
freely exposing the face, neck and chest to the breeze, except in 
severe weather. 
II. In order to clear the throat, place the patient gently on 
the face with one wrist under the forehead, that all fluid and 
tongue itself may fall forward, leaving entrance to wind pipe free. 
III. To excite respiration, turn the patient slightly on his 
side, and apply some irritating or stimulating agent to the 
nostrils, as Veratrine, Dil. Ammonia, etc. 
IV. Make the face warm by brisk friction ; then dash told 
water upon it. 
V. If not successful lose no time to imitate respiration; 
place the patient on his face, and turn the body gently but com • 
pletely, on one side and a little beyond ; then again on the face, 
and so on alternately. Repeat these movements deliberately and perserveringly, fifteen times only in a minute. (When 
patient lies on the thorax, this cavity is compressed by the 
weight of the body and expiration takes place ; when he is 
turned on the side, this pressure is removed and inspiration 
occurs). 
VI. When the prone position is resumed, make uniform 
and efficient pressure along the spine, removing the pressure 
immediately before rotation 011 the side. (The pressure aug- 
ments the expiration, and rotation commences inspiration.) 
Continue these measures. 
VII. Rub the limbs upward, with firm pressure and with 
energy. (The object being to aid the return of venous blood to 
the heart.) 
VIII. Substitute for the patient’s wet clothing, if possible, 
such other covering as can be instantly procured. Meantime, 
and from time to time, to excite inspiration, let the surface of 
the body be slapped briskly with the hand. 
IX. Rub the body briskly until it is dry and warm, then 
dash cold water upon it, and repeat the rubbing. 
X. Avoid the immediate removal of the patient, as it 
involves a dangerous loss of time ; also the use of the bellows 
or any forcing instrument; also the warm bath and all rough 
treatment,

1. Suppression of the menses. 
2. Nausea, vomiting and digestive disturbances up to the 
fifth month, then disappearing to appear again for the first fort- 
night of the ninth month 
3. Enlargement of the abdomen, at three or three and a 
half months the hypograstic region becomes pouting and a small 
protuberance perceptible growing regularly and more volumi- 
nous during the remaining term of pregnancy. 
4. The Fundus uteri, at the end of the third month, is on 
a level with the superior strait ; at the end of the fourth month 
*Stewart. 42 
WARNER’S reference; BOOK. 
the uterine tumor can be clearly perceived through the abdomi- 
nal walls, the fundus being midway between the pubis and 
umbilicus ; end of fifth month, one finger’s breath below the 
umbilicus ; at the end of sixth month, same distance above it; 
in the seventh month, four fingers above it; in the eighth 
month, five or six fingers above it; at the beginning of the ninth 
month, reaches the epigastric region, gaining the borders of 
the false ribs on the right side, but in the last fortnight of the 
last month sinks a little lower. 
5. Tumefaction of the breasts, accompanied with a sensa- 
tion of prickling and tenderness sets in about the second month, 
and at the fourth month is much augmented, at which time the 
nipple becomes prominent, with discoloration of the areola, the 
latter increases and the breasts present a spotted appearance. 
6. Glandiform tubercles form in the breasts about the fifth 
month and are fully developed about the eighth, wThen flow of 
milk may set in. 
7. Uterus has descended and is less movable in the first 
two months, the neck inclining toward the left. 
8. The umbilical ring is depressed, its bottom drawTn down- 
wards and backwards, the circumference the seat of a distressing 
dragging sensation in the first two months ; less so in the fourth 
and fifth months ; less hollow than before conception in the fifth 
and sixth months; the depression is wholly efaced and on a 
level with the skin of the abdomen in the seventh month ; the 
naval pouts out in the last two months and there are streaks and 
stains on the abdomen, a brown line extending from pubis to 
umbilicus. 
9. Varicose and oedematous condition of the vulva and 
lower extremities, from the seventh month and increasing 
until term. 
10. Quickening, or foetal movements, sounds of the foetal 
heart and abdominal soufie, and foetal irregularities can be 
detected about the fifth month. 
11. Ballotemeut can be detected in the sixth month, but 
more readily in the seventh, and obscurely during the eighth 
month. 12. Difficult respiration in the latter part of the eighth and 
first part of the ninth months, but less oppressed during the 
last fortnight. 
13. Difficulty in walking during the last month. 
14. Frequent desire to urinate, pains in loins and colic 
during last fortnight of the ninth month. 
15. The orifice of the os is round in the primiparae but more 
patulous in the multiparae during the first two months ; the 
periphery is at this time softened but more so during the third 
and fourth months, the extremity of the finger can be inserted 
in the os of the multiparse, while that of the primiparae is 
rounded and closed ; the mucous membrane covering the lips 
becomes softened and cedematous, also the intravaginal portion 
of the neck.

Normal labor occurs in about 280 days from the beginning of the last 
menstrual period ; that date having been ascertained the figures adjacent 
to the right hand one of each colum will designate the time when the event 
may be looked for. To illustrate : January 1st confinement would occur 
October 8th ; February 1st, November 5th ; May 10th, February 14th. When 
the days of the month terminate, the following month will be found at the

Directions for making Post Mortem Examinations. 
In making a postmortem examination much time and labor 
will be saved if the physician proceeds systematically and notes 
everything in writing. In the following the reader will find a 
few hints wdiich may be useful to him in making post mortem 
examinations, while he is referred for a more detailed descrip- 
tion to such works, as Virchow’s Manual of Post-mortem Kxam- 
iuations, Heath’s Manual of Minor Surgery, Dunglison’s Refer- 
ence Book and others. 
The instruments necessary are a dissecting case, to which is 
added a bone saw, a hammer and chisel, and some strong surgi- 
cal needles with stout linen thread well waxed for sewing up the 
iucissions made in the skin. The physician should also provide 
himself with some strips of parchment paper for labeling speci- 
mens for microscopical examination, waxed paper for wrapping 
them up, and in cases of suspected poisoning with clean jars 
for the contents of the stomach and intestines to be examined 
chemically. If the examination is to be conducted in a private 
honse, the family should provide several basins, hot and cold 
water, soap and towels, as well as some protective covering for 
the fi.oor to prevent soiling the carpet. The physician should 
be ali careful as possible to avoid disfigurement of the body, 
soiling of the carpet or furniture of the room, and loud talking 
which might be heard by the relatives of the deceased and hurt 
the}r feelings. 
In medico legal cases it is of the utmost importance that a 
careful record be kept of everything in connection with the post 
mortem examination, and this is also very desirable in ordinary 
cases which are conducted for the purpose of determining the 
pathology of the disease, and therefore the operator should have 
paper and pen and ink to make the necessary notes. 
The following four cardinal points should be borne in mind, 
whereby the inquiry is systematised and much time and labor 
is saved. 50 
In medico legal cases note : 
1. Was the individual viable and did he live ? 
2. If he has lived how long has he been dead ? 
3. The cause of death. 
4. The pathology of the disease from which he died. 
The latter point enters into the question only in ordinary 
non medico legal cases. Nothing should be guessed at but 
every fact stated correctly without inferences of any kind. 
State the date and the hour of the day when the examination 
was begun, and in ordinary cases how long after death. 
External Appearances.—Note the position of the body, the 
condition of the clothes, wounds or bruises, or other external 
signs of violence, giving exact measurement of wounds, and 
compare the same with any instrument which may have been 
found near the body. In case the body is not known, examine 
the hair, the teeth and other peculiarities, such as moles, scars 
or other distinctive features for identification of the body after- 
wards. In ordinary cases only the rigor mortis need be noted. 
After the hands and arms have been bared and carefully 
anointed with carbolized oil or cosmoline to prevent poisoning, 
make an incision into the skin from the upper edge of the ster- 
num to the pubic bone, making a curve around the umbilicus. 
Then exit down carefully through the superficial and deep fascia 
of the abdominal walls an inch or so above the pubis, and lift- 
ing the abdominal integument with the left hand, introduce the 
knife with its back downwards into the cut and slit the abdo- 
men open up to the diaphragm, cutting through the muscles 
and peritoneum, thus exposing the abdominal viscera. Note 
the position of the diaphragm, the relative position of the 
abdominal viscera, the quantity and character of the fluid con- 
tained in the cavity, without however as yet disturbing anything 
by manipulation. Next open the thorax by dissecting the skin 
and pectoral muscles from the sternum and costal cartilages 
and then by cutting through the sterno-clavicular articulation 
on either side, and through the costal cartilages as close to the 
ribs as possible. Lift the lower end of the sternum and detach 
the diaphragm and pleura from its under surface, when it can 
WARNER’S REFERENCE BOOK. DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING POST MORTEM EXAMINATIONS. 
be lifted up and the thoracic viscera are exposed. Note amount 
and character of fluid in pleural cavities, the color and size of 
the lungs and heart, and their relative position. Examine and 
note the condition of the different organs in the following order : 
1. The pericardium and pericardial fluid. 
2. Ventricles of heart, valves, auricles, large vessels. 
3. Lungs, bronchi and trachea, mediastinal and other 
glands. 
4. Larynx. 
5. Aesophagus. 
6. Internal surface of ribs and spinal column after the 
thoracic viscera have been removed. 
In the same way examine the abdominal organs and note 
their condition in the following order : 
1. Stomach.—In suspected poisoning remove the organ 
with its contents, empty the latter into a clean j ar, seal it and 
label it, adding date and hour, then open the stomach along its 
convexity and examine its mucous membrane, removing for 
microscopical examination small pieces, say one inch square 
from different portions of the organ. 
2. Intestines with omentum, messentery and glands. 
3. Liver and gall bladder with duct. 
4. Pancreas. 
5. Spleen. 
6. Kidneys with suprarenal capsules and ureters. 
7. Abdominal vessels and ganglia. 
8. Bla dder. 
9. Uterus and its appendages. 
In cases of sudden death in the female in which large effu- 
sion of blood is found in the abdominal cavity, search for rup- 
ture of sack of extra uterine pregnancy and carefully search the 
blood clots for product of conception. In cases where it is 
deemed necessary to examine the nerve centres, the brain and 
spinal cord, the operator should place the cadaver upon the chest 
and abdomen, with the head projecting beyond the edge of the 
table, then part the hair across the vortex from ear to ear and 
make an incision on this line down to the bone. The scalp can 
51 then easily be drawn forward and reflected over the forehead 
and backwards over the occiput, thus baring the whole cal- 
varium. An incision is then made around the skull through the 
occipito-frontalis and the temporal muscles, the line running 
from about an inch above the eyebrows to the level of the upper 
edge of the external ear, and from there to a point about one 
inch above the occipital protuberance, thus forming a sharp 
angle just behind the ear. This form of cut when executed with 
the saw will remove a sufficiently large piece of the skull for 
the examination of the brain, and which at the same time is held 
in place by the scalp alone without wiring when the examina- 
tion is completed. In making the saw cut, care should be taken 
not to wound the dura mater and brain, but to depend upon the 
leverage of the chisel to completely sever the bone. 
The brain being exposed, examine the inner surface of the 
skull cap for fractures, the surface of the dura mater, longitu- 
dinal sinus, pia mater and brain ; then open dura mater and note 
amount of cerebro-spinal fluid. Next make incisions into the 
brain after having removed it from the cavity of the cranium, 
with as much of the medulla oblongata as can be reached, from 
before backward through the hemispheres and note the condi- 
tion of the brain substance and its vessels, also open the ventri- 
cles and make incisions into the cerebellum. 
The last step in the examination is to open the spinal canal 
and examine its contents ; to do this, make an incision through 
the skin along the whole length of the spinal column, retract 
the skin and then divide the muscles on either side of the spi- 
nous processes of the vertebrae and dissect them back laterally, 
thus exposing the lamina of the vertebrae. A saw cut is then 
carried throughout the whole length of the spinal column on 
either side of the spinous processes, and by the aid of the mallet 
and chisel the bony vault is removed and the spinal cord exposed. 
Examine the cord in situ and note the condition of the mem- 
branes, the amount and character of the cerebro-spinal fluid 
and the superficial vessels. Then remove the cord from its bed 
after having cut the nerve trunks on either side, and make 
transverse incisions at intervals of one or one and a half inches,

After the examination is completed the body should be 
sewed up and brought into as near a natural shape as possible, 
all traces of blood should be washed from the skin and clean 
clothes should be put on it before the family is admitted into the 
room.

PARVULES.* 
The great advantage of giving medicines in the form of Solu- 
ble Parvules is, that in the first place, remedies may be admin- 
istered in an agreeable form in definitely sub-divided doses thus 
obtaining the physiological action of the drug, and secondly, 
that any number of drugs may be combined in any desirable 
dose by the physician himself without the aid of the druggist, 
and without the necessity of weighing or measuring tinctures, 
powders or extracts and combining them in an agreeable form-

eating; the first mentioned 
time is the most desirable as 
the elfects are more decided, 
owing to the longer period for

more fully experienced through 
their mild but effective in-

Iodoform therapeutically is 
alterative, nervine, sorbefa- 
cient, antiperiodic, and anaes- 
thetic. As an alterative it acts 
with more rapidity than other 
medicines of that class, in 
doses of one, two or three 
grains, repeated thrice daily. 
As a nervine it is prompt and 
efficient; while it gives ner- 
vous strength, it calms speedily 
the most severe pains. 
It is rapidly absorbed into 
the blood. 
Accumulative effects have 
not been observed. 
Iodoform is destitute of any 
local irritant action, and has 
that advantage over all other 
iodic remedies. 
It may be administered, 
with reasonable expectation of 
success, in the following dis- 
eases : 
Neuralgia of every descrip- 
tion, chronic rheumatism, con- 
sumption, scrofula, ophthal- 
mia, chronic ulcerations, and 
skin diseases, syphilis, and 
certain affections of the neck 
of the bladder and prostate 
gland, and whenever a power- 
ful alterative agent is needed. 
This quality of Iodoform is 
greatly enhanced in the major- 
ity of cases, by the addition 
of pure iron, Fer. per hydrog.

119 TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. 
While presenting this Therapeutic Reference Book we take 
opportunity to extend our thanks to our many friends who have 
aided us by their patronage and influence in distributing Phar- 
maceutical preparations of the highest standard and to express 
the hope that our efforts, in this direction, may continue to gain 
for us a confidence and feeling that our experience covering as 
it has, a period of thirty years and comprising deep scientific 
research and skillful manipulations, in conjunction with a con- 
scientious desire to produce only the best, should at least war- 
rant us in claiming a perfection of manufacture unexcelled. 
Such facts are worthy the attention of Practitioners wTho are 
called upon to battle with disease, and who must in using ready 
prepared medicines, depend upon the correctness of manufacture 
to gain the looked for therapeutical effects, whereby their own 
reputations are sustained and the ills of their patients alleviated. 
It may be well, in this connection, to reiterate that our en- 
deavors have always been directed towards the production 
of first-class preparations, regardless of cost and passing the 
question of extreme cheapness which so often arises through 
competition and an anxiety to dispose of products ; all of which 
very naturally has a tendencv to depreciate quality correspond- 
ingly with the falling off in price. 
We maintain that quality is of primary importance and in 
this we flatter ourselves that we have received the undivided 
encouragement and support of an intelligent profession, through- 
out the course of our business career 
With these few preliminary words outlining our policy, we 
beg leave to suggest the importance of specifying Warner & Co. ’s 
make when ordering or prescribing effervescing salts or pills of 
any kind. We have special facilities for preparing in elegant 
form physician’s favorite prescriptions. 
Very Respectfully,

tions for use. There are ioo pills in each, and the physician’s 
directions are written by the pharmacist. 
DIRECTIONS FOR USE OF ARTHROSIA. 
Two to four pills at one dose, morning noon, and night, one hour be- 
fore meals • and when the pain or suffering is very severe take two pills 
during the night. Its use should be persisted in until all inflammation 
and stiffness in the affected parts totally cease. The dose should be modi- 
fied according to the purgative effect produced.

PANCREOPEPSINE. 
(DIGESTIVE FLUID.) 
This Preparation contains in an agreeable form the 
natural and assimilative principles of the digestive fluids, 
comprising Pancreatine, Pepsin, Lactic and Muriatic 
Acids. The best means of re-establishing a healthy con- 
dition, where the power to digest and assimilate food is 
impaired, is to administer principles capable of commu- 
nicating the elements necessary to convert the food into 
nutriment. 
The value of Liquid Pancreopepsine in this connec- 
tion has been fully established, and we can recommend 
it with confidence to the Medical Profession as superior 
to Pepsin alone. It aids in digesting animal and vege- 
table cooked food, fatty and amylaceous substances, and 
may be employed in all cases where, from prolonged sick- 
ness or other causes, the alimentary processes are not in 
their normal condition.

PHILADELPHIA, PA. THE MOST PERFECT FORM OF DOSIMETRY 
IS AFFORDED BY 
PARVULES. 
The term Parvule, from Parvum (small), is applied to a new 
class of remedies (Warner & Co.’s) in the form of minute pills, 
containing minimum doses for frequent repetition in cases of 
children and adults. It is claimed by some practitioners that 
small doses, given at short intervals, exert a more salutary 
effect. Sydney Ringer, M. D., in his recent works on Thera- 
peutics, sustains this theory in a great variety of cases. 
Parvules of Calomel, 
(Warner &. Co.) 
Parvules of Calomel and Ipecac. 
(Warner &, Co.) 
li Calomel, gr. Ipecac, gr. 
Med. Prop.—Alterative, Purgative. 
DOSE.—One to two every hour. Two of above Parvules, 
taken every hour, until five or six doses are administered (which 
will comprise but half a grain), produce an activity of the liver 
which will be followed by bilious dejections and beneficial 
effects, that twenty grains of Blue Mass or ten grains of Calo- 
mel rarely cause, and sickness of the stomach does not usually 
follow. 
Parvules of Acouiti Rad, 1 . 
(Warner & Co.) 
Med. Prop.—Narcotic, Sudorific. 
Parvules of Arseuici lodidi, _L. 
(Warner & Co.) 
Med. Prop.—Alterative. 
Parvules Cathartic Comp. Officinal, A. 
(Warner &, Co.) 
Med. Prop.—Cathartic. Parvules of Corrosive Sublimate, 
(Warner & Co.) 
Dr. Ringer, in his treatise, lays great stress upon the efficacy 
of minimum doses of Corrosive Sublimate in the treatment of 
Diarrhoea, whether the stools contain blood or not. 
Parvules of Aloin, 
(Warner & Co.) 
Med. Prop.—A most desirable Cathartic. 
The most useful application of this Parvule is in periodic 
irregularities—Dysmenorrhcea and Amenorrhoea. They should 
be given in doses of one or two every evening at and about the 
expected time. 
Dose.—Four to six at once. This number of Parvules, taken 
at any time, will be found to exert an easy, prompt and ample 
cathartic effect, unattended with nausea, and in all respects fur- 
nishing the best aperient and cathartic preparation in use. For 
habitual constipation, they replace when taken in single par- 
vules the various medicated waters, avoiding the quantity 
required by the latter at a dose, which fills the stomach and 
deranges the digestive organs. 
Parvules of Podophylliu, 
(Warner 4, Co.) 
Med. Prop.—Cathartic, Cholagogue. 
Two Parvules of Podophyllin, administered three times a 
day, will re-establish and regulate the peristaltic action and re- 
lieve habitual constipation, add tone to the liver, and invigorate 
the digestive functions. 
Parvules of Arsen it: Potash, —J-. 
(Warner & Co.) 
This Parvule will be of great use to physicians, as two Par- 
vules represent the equivalent of one drop of Fowler’s 
Solution, so that physicians can regulate the dose by giving 
one or more Parvules every hour. 
Parvules of Nux Vomica, 
(Warner &. Co.) 
Nux Vomica, according to Ringer, is possessed of real cura- 
tive powers for sick headache, accompanied with acute gastric 
catarrh, whether due to error in diet, constipation, or no appar- 
ent cause. He regards it, administered in small and frequently 
repeated doses, as useful in many disturbances of the gastric 
functions.

INGLUVIN.—This is a preparation from the gizzard of the domestic 
chicken—ventriculus callosus gallinaceus. Dose, gr. v.—j. 
Ingluvin has the remarkable property of arresting certain kinds 
of vomiting—notably the vomiting of pregnancy. It is a stomachic 
tonic, and relieves indigestion, flatulence and dyspepsia. 
The author’s experience is confirmatory of the statements which 
have been put forth regarding the exceptional power of this agent to 
arrest the vomiting of pregnancy. It can be administered in inflamma- 
tory conditions of the mucous membrane, as it has no irritant effect. 
Under ordinary circumstances, and when the object of its administra- 
tion is to promote the digestive functions, it should be administered 
after meals. When the object is to arrest the vomiting of pregnancy, 
it should be given before meals.

1NGLUVIN is a * * preparation said to be made of the gizzard 
of the domestic chicken (ventriculus callosus gallinaceus). Dose, 
gr. v.— j}j. Ingluvin has the remarkable property of arresting 
certain kinds of vomiting—notably the vomiting of pregnancy. It is a 
stomachic tonic, and relieves indigestion, flatulence and dyspepsia. 
Recent investigations have shown that Ingluvin owes its curative 
effects, not to any ferment corresponding to pepsin, but to a peculiar 
bitter principle. This result is the more satisfactory, since such an 
organ as the gizzard could hardly furnish the necessary quantity of a 
digestive ferment to effect the results now known to be produced by 
Ingluvin. 
Under ordinary circumstances, and when the object of its administra- 
tion is to promote the digestive function, it should be taken after meals. 
When the object is to arrest the vomiting of pregnancy, it should be 
given before meals. 
But only the successful use of this agent and the apparent sincerity of 
the composition as given to the public would seem to justify its mention 
here. ELIXIR 
SflLilCYliIC COJVIP. 
A POTENT AND RELIABLE REMEDY IN 
RHEUMATISM, GOUT. LUMBAGO KINDRED DISEASES. 
This preparation combines, in a pleasant and agreeable form, Salicylic 
Acid, Cimicifuge, Gelseminum, Sodii Bi-Carb. and Potass. Iodid., so 
combined as to be more prompt and effective in the treatment of this 
class of diseases than either of the ingredients when administered alone. 
This remedy can be given without producing any of the unpleasant 
results which so often follow the giving of Salicylic Acid and Salicylate 
of Sodium, viz.: gastric and intestinal irritation, nausea, delirium, deaf- 
ness, nervous irritability, restlessness and rapid respiration; on the con- 
trary, it gives prompt relief from pain and quiets the nerves without the 
aid of opiates. 
Elixir Salicylic Comp, has been extensively used in private practice 
for several years with almost unvarying success, and with better results 
than any other mode of treatment yet suggested. 
It is a matter of great satisfaction to us to be able to place before the 
medical profession a remedy so effectual in the cure of one of the most 
stubborn classes of disease. 
The dose is from a teaspoonful to a dessertspoonful, and increased 
as necessary to meet the requirements of the case. 
Each teaspoonful contains five grains of Salicylic Acid. 
Elixir Salicylic Comp, is put up in 12-oz, square bottles, and may be 
obtained from Druggists everywhere,

This preparation has been before the profession for such a

that we deem further than passing comment upon its merits 
unnecessary. 
Positive action and uniformity is ensured by our method of 
preparation—one minim can always be prescribed as fully repre-

The following letter from an active practitioner will fully bear 
out what we claim: 
Messrs. W. R. Warner & Co., 1228 Market St., Phila. 
Dear Sirs:—I have been engaged in the active practice of 
medicine in this part of the State forty years, and have had oc- 
casion to use Ergot in every form that it can be used, but I am 
free to confess that the Fluid Extract of that drug I got from 
you in February is the most active paturient I have ever found, 
and nauseates less than I have ever seen Ergot in substance, 
tincture, infusion or extract, fluid or solid (Bodjean’s Ergotine).

SOLUBLE BOATED PILLS. 
These Pills are unsurpassed in their medicinal 
qualities, as only the best materials enter into their 
composition, while the most scrupulous care is exercised 
in their manufacture. 
An extended laboratory experience comprising un- 
ceasing attention to details, during a period of more 
than a quarter of a century, enables us to arrive at 
results otherwise unattainable. 
We claim a method of coating which remains per- 
manent, and avoids the necessity for drying the mass 
so hard as to render it insoluble or inert. This scienti- 
fic method, which we do not hesitate to call our own, 
is fully recognized and appreciated, as is demonstrated 
by the confidence reposed and the success attained. 
It is our wish to emphatically impress upon the 
minds of our patrons, that our make of Pills will pro- 
duce the effects that should be expected in connection 
with the drug employed, and that every other desire is 
subordinate to this end. We thank the Profession for 
the very liberal endorsement and patronage that has 
been accorded us and offer our assurance that our efforts 
shall, as heretofore, be directed towards the production 
of the highest class of Pharmaceutical preparations.

As prepared by WM. R. WARNER & CO., Philadelphia. 
The above combination, which we have successfully and scientifically 
put in pill form, produces, when taken into the stomach, Carbonate of the 
Protoxide of Iron (Ferrous Carbonate) in a quickly assimilable condition. 
This Pill contributed to make the reputation of Niemeyer, and the 
following language, which speaks without comment, is taken from his 
Text Book on the Practice of Medicine. 
Prof. NIEMFYFR says: “For more than twenty years I have used 
these pills almost exclusively in Chlorosis, and have witnessed such bril- 
liant results from them in a large number of cases that I have never needed 
any opportunity to experiment with other articles. At Madgeburg and 
Greifswald I often had to send my recipe for the pills to a great distance, 
my good fortune in the treatment of Chlorosis—to which, by-the-by, I owe 
the rapid growth of my practice—having given me great repute as the pos- 
sessor of a sovereign remedy against that disease.” 
The dose of Pil: Chalybeate is from i to 4 at meal times and is recom- 
mended and successfully used in the treatment of Pulmonary Phthisis or 
Consumption, Anaemia and Chlorosis, Caries and Scrofulous Abscesses, 
Chronic Discharges, Dyspepsia, Doss of Appetite, etc. 
■ The physician may see that he is obtaining exactly what he prescribes 
by ordering in bottles of too each. 
CAUTION.—Specify Warner & Co., and see to the special marks and 
Autograph on wrapper. The coating is very soluble, and is colored a deli- 
cate pink. 
Pills can be safely sent by mail—discount for quantities.

It is truly stated by eminent practitioners that these pills 
will cause the pale lips to become red and the rosy flush of 
health to creep into the face in about two weeks’ time. 
Le Progress Medicale:—“Iron is one of the most important principles 
of the organism and the only metal the presence of which is indispensable 
to the maintenance of life. It exists in all parts of the system, but nowhere 
does it acquire such importance as in the blood. 
The blood of a person in good condition contains about forty-five grains 
of Iron ; when this amount is diminished a decline takes place, the appetite 
fails, the strength is enfeebled, and the blood loses its fine natural color 
and qualities. 
In a great number of diseases such as anaemia, chlorosis, hemorrhages, 
debility, etc., it sometimes happens that the blood has lost half its iron, 
and, to cure these diseases, it is absolutely necessary to restore to the blood 
the iron which it lacks, and great care should be exercised that the most 
assimilable form of iron should be used, one that penetrates into the 
organism without unduly taxing the digestive tract or interfering with the 
essential qualities of the gastric juice.” 
In ehloro-anaemia, Warner’s Pil. Chalybeate Comp, regenerates 
the diseased red globules of the blood with a rapidity not before observed 
under the use of other ferruginous preparations ; it acids to their physiolog- 
ical power, and makes them richer in coloring matter. Moreover, being 
neither stvpic nor caustic and having no coagulating or astringent action 
on the gastro-intestinal mucous membrane, this preparation of iron causes 
neither constipation or diarrhoea as it does not need to be digested in 
order to be absorbed, it does not give rise to the sensation of weight in the 
stomach, or the gastric pain and indigestion occasioned by other prepara- 
tions. In women who have not menstruated for many months, the 
amenorrhcea disappears; in others suffering from an aiueniic state of long 
duration, give in proportion as the ordinary preparations of iron have not 
been well borne, Warner’s Pil. Chalybeate Comp, one or two after each 
meal, soon restore the digestive functions to their normal state. 
The small quantity of Nux Vomica is added to increase the tonic effect, 
to give tone to the stomach and nerves and increase the appetite.

This combination is very useful in relieving various forms of 
Dyspepsia and Indigestion, and will afford permanent benefit 
in cases of enfeebled digestion, where the gastric juices are not 
properly secreted. 
As a corrective of nausea or lack of appetite in the morning, 
induced by over indulgence in food or stimulants during the 
night, these pills are unsurpassed; they should be taken in 
doses of two pills before retiring, or in the morning at least one 
hour before eating ; the first mentioned time is the most desir- 
able as the effects are more decided, owing to the longer period 
for action and the natural rest is more fully experienced through 
their mild but effective influence. 
As a dinner pill, Pil: Digestiva is unequalled and may be 
taken in doses of a single pill either before or after eating.

(The Root of Ferula Sumbul) 
Nat. Ord. Umbelliferae. 
Common names—Sumbul, Musk Root, 
Jatamansi. 
Description.—The plant that produces the sumbul root is an herbaceous peren- 
n’al, with an erect milk-bearing stem, and is a native of Central Asia. T. he leaves 
are mostly radical, large, and alternately decompound, with the ultimate segments 
narrow and toothed. T he upper stem leaves are reduced merely to the sheathing 
bases of the petioles. The flowers are small yellow and disposed in compound umbels. 
Properties and Uses.—Sumbul is a stimulant and tonic to the nervous system; 
it has been recommended in gastric spasms, hysteria, delirium, diarrhoea, dysentery, 
leucorrhcea, chlorosis, asthma, chronic bronchitis, and other maladies, accompanied 
with an asthenic condition. In nervous diseases of a low, depressing character, it 
has been found very useful, especially in the following combination which we prepare 
in pill form. These pills are prescribed by leading physicians. Don t fail to specify

Pills of Iodoform and Combinations 
AN IMPORTANT THERAPEUTIC AGENT, 
A POWERFUL ALTERATIVE AND GENERAL TONIC. 
VALUABLE AS A REMEDY IN 
Scrofula, Anaemia, Neuralgia, CMorosis ana Rheumatism. 
Iodoform therapeutically is alterative, nervine, sorbefacient, anti periodic and 
anaesthetic. As an alterative it acts with more rapidity than other medicines of that 
class, in doses of one, two or three grains, repeated thrice daily. As a nervine it is 
prompt and efficient; while it gives nervous strength, it calms speedily the most 
severe pains. Its sorbefacient properties are manifested with some degree of slow- 
ness. Five to seven grains given in broken doses in rapid succession, produce a 
powerful antiperiodic effect. 
We take pleasure in presenting to the Profession the following Pills of Iodoform 
and its combinations. Since its introduction by us in 1871, it has grown in perma- 
nent favor as an indispensable remedy, possessing the properties of a powerful alter- 
ative, nervine, antiper.odic and tonic.

Bromo Lithia is an extremely potent remedy, in the treat- 
ment of Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout and Gouty Diathesis, 
originated by W. R. Warner & Co. It consists of Salicylate 
Lithium, io grains, and Bromide Sodium, 10 grains, in each 
dessertspoonful. 
It will be found to possess advantages over Salicylic Acid, 
combining, as it does, the efficacy of Lithium in combination 
with Salicylic Acid as well as the sedative properties of Bro> 
mide of Soda. 
Dr. A. Garod, the well-known English authority on Gout, 
who was the first physician to use the Salicylate of Lithia in 
the treatment of the Gouty Diathesis, believes that its action 
is materially increased by being administered in a freely diluted 
form. 
Bromo Lithia (Warner & Co.) being an effervescing salt, 
furnishes an elegant and convenient form for applying Dr. Garod’s 
methods, and we have pleasure in offering it to the profession.
