Wyeth's Compressed # Triturated # * Drugs. Safer, Pleasanter, and more Efficient and Convenient Medication for Infants, the Fastidious, and Idiosyncratic. An Innovation. Brunton points out that the introduction of the method of giving small doses at frequent intervals has “the very great advantage that the desired effect can be produced with greater certainty and with less risk of an overdose being taken." What are Compressed Triturates ! The Compressed Triturates are "intimate mixtures of substances with sugar of milk." In no way are they allied to the sugar of milk of globules or pellets, dependent so largely upon chance for the absorption of the medicaments poured down the side of the bottle. The following directions are those given in the Pharmacopoeia, U.S., for the preparation of Triturates: "Take of the substance ten parts, sugar of milk in moderately fine powder ninety parts, to make one hundred parts; weigh the substance and the sugar of milk separately; then place the substance, previously reduced if necessary to a moderately fine powder, into a mortar, add about an equal bulk of sugar of milk, mix well by means of a spatula and triturate them thoroughly together. Add fresh portions of the sugar of milk from time to time, until the whole is added, and continue the trituration until the substance is intimately mixed with the sugar of milk and finely comminuted. Resume of Advantages. 1. The Compressed Triturates are made with the pure drug and sugar of milk. 2. The process of trituration, employed so finely, subdivides and separates the mass of medicament, that this is said to be more active than would the same quantity given in the ordinary way. 3. They contain each a very small dose, so that by giving one at a time-they may be repeated often-the taste of the drug is hardly, if at all, perceived. 4. Being made with sugar of milk, one of them (if not taken whole) added to a little milk or other fluid is at once "broken up" and distributed throughout the liquid. 5. Pulverulent substances, like calomel, are by this means especially distributed well, and for the moment suspended throughout the fluid. 6. Being very small, and not globular, they are easy to swallow. 7. They do not harden and become insoluble with time, nor do they crumble like pills. 8. They afford the advantages derivable from the administration of small doses repeated often, which are: 1. That if the drug be given in but little liquid, the absorbent power of the mucous membrane of the mouth and gullet are called repeatedly into requisition. 2. That if given on an empty stomach (as is generally desirable) unpleasant symptoms are avoided. 3. In case of idiosyncrasy, the doses can be stopped before large amounts have been given. 4. Administered in this way drugs are better tolerated than is otherwise the case. 9. A greater effect is alleged to be attainable by this method from a small quantity of medicine than is possible by the usual plan. 10. In some cases Compressed Triturates are repeated as often as every five or ten minutes, and it is surprising how soon a very small dose of medicine repeated often amounts to a very large quantity. 11. If taken whole, one of the Compressed Triturates dissolves and falls to pieces in the stomach at once, and is never voided unchanged. 12. They afford accuracy of dose, without the trouble and annoyance of weighing or measuring. 13. They can be taken at any time and in any place, even when the patient is following his ordinary avocation 14. They are only a few lines in thickness and about one-fourth the circumference of a lead pencil. Waistcoat Leather Pocket Cases, containing ten tubes of 25 Triturates each (any selection), supplied at $1.25. May be obtained of all wholesale houses. Samples of Triturates free to medical men.

A Pure Neutral Solution of Oxide of Iron in the Colloid Form. and Diffusion with Distilled Water. The Result of Endosmosis PHILADELPHIA. This article possesses great advantages over every other ferruginous preparation heretofore introduced, as it is a solution of Iron in as nearly as possible the form in which it exists in the blood. It is a preparation of invariable strength and purity, obtained by a process of dialysation, the Iron being separated from its combinations by endosmosis, according to the law of diffusion of liquids. It has no styptic taste, does not blacken the teeth, disturb the stomach or constipate the bowels. It affords, therefore, the very best mode of administering Iron in cases where the use of this remedy is indicated. In ordering, please specify WYETH'S. DAVIS & LAWRENCE CO.

Containing all the Nutrient Properties of Malt, with We claim that our LIQUID MALT EXTRACT will be found to contain all the nutritive virtues of the best malt-liquors in a higher degree than any of the largely sold liquid malts, with which we have compared it, while it is free from the stimulating effect which invariably follows their administration. The rapidly increasing demand for our MALT EXTRACT in the Dominion of Canada has induced us to start its manufacture in the City of Montreal, on account of which we are enabled to supply the demand at greatly reduced prices.

NEW YORK POST-CRADUATE Medical School and Hospital, 224-230 EAST 20th STREET, NEW YORK CITY. Incorporated by Special Act of the Legislature of the State of New York. For Practitioners of Medicine Exclusively SEVENTH YEAR. SESSIONS OF 1888-9. This school was founded by members of the Post-Graduate Faculty of the University of the City of New York, and was the first institution in the United States to present a systematic system of clinical instruction for graduates in medicine. All the Lectures are Clinical. It is a place of instruction, in which the practitioner, by actually handling the cases under the guidance of the Professors and Instructors, may learn the use of instruments for examination and treatment and observe the effects of remedies. Its facilities are unrivalled. Each hospital to which the teachers are attached forms a part of the field of instruction. The general schedule is so arranged that there is no conflict in the hours of attendance of the professors. The clinics begin at 9 A.M., and continue until 9 P.M., each day; and the Clinical Society of the School meets twice a month on Saturday evenings. A Dispensary and a Hospital form a part of the school, with one ward exclusively for infants, which has been lately endowed by benevolent ladies of New York City. Dr. JOSEPH O'DWYER, the inventor of INTUBATION OF THE LARYNX, gives practical instruction to classes organized in this School, and only here. Professor ABRAHAM JACOBI, of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, holds a weekly Clinic of Diseases of Children in this School. FACULTY. D. B. ST. JOHN ROOSA, M.D., LL.D., HENRY J.

Endorsed by the leading Physicians of Canada and the United States. Dr. E. H. Trenholm, of Montreal, says: "I have used the Inhaler in very many cases and with uniform success, and believe it the best yet invented for diseases of the Nose and Throat." Dr. Barnaby, of Bridgetown, in a letter to the Company, says: "In my opinion it is just what is required in this Province in the treatment of Catarrh, Asthma, Bronchitis and Consumption, in fact, in all diseases of the respiratory organs. The Principle involved is sound, and this system of treatment is bound to come into universal use in the near future.' Dr. Fitzhenry Campbell, ex-Surgeon to the British Army, says: "I feel confident the Inhaler possesses the true principle by which medication can be carried directly to a diseased membrane of the respiratory tract."

The design is unique and beautiful, making it an ornament to any office. It is simple in its adjustment, absolutely noiseless, and can be placed at any angle with the patient in or out of it. It is the proper height, does not have to be raised or lowered by ratchet in the presence of nervous patients. Its simplicity and adaptability to all the various positions necessary for examination and operation obviates any embarrassment to physician or patient in cases of emergency. It is the only chair adapted to operating in the Sims' position. The recent valuable improvements added to our chair have elicited the encomiums and universal endorsement of the profession, and we now claim with pardonable pride, that for the practice of Gynaecology, Surgery and general office purposes, it has no equal in the world. stirrups are adjustable to different lengths and different widths. It has leather covered side table to use in operating in Sims' position; is double stitched, quilted seat and back before the leather is put on. Thus adding greatly to its durability. The trimmings are of polished brass and nickle plate. It is the only plain, common-sense chair made, having none of the complications so characteristic of other chairs. The low price, free of duty, considering its superiority over all others, places it within the reach of every physician.
