THE

HE dietetic value of Scott's Emulsion
rests on the remarkable properties of cod
liver oil as a producer of energy in the body.

Prof. Frankland, of London, by exhaustive
experiments with the various articles used as food
proved that cod liver oil exceeds all other food
stuffs as a generator of force or energy. His results
represented the actual force evolved by complete
oxidation under the form of heat measured by the
calorimeter. Experiments by others have corrob-
orated the results of Prof. Frankland's great work.

The highest grade of pure cod liver oil is admirably combined with hypophosphites of lime and soda and glycerine in Scott's Emulsion.

Pneumonia Following Stab Wound.

On January 11th, 1905, Mr. C—— aged 20, was stabbed in the back below the scapula, and when I saw him twenty minutes after the affray, he was suffering from profound shock. I carried out the usual operative procedures, and the patient rallied, doing well until the night of the eighth day, when he had a severe chill, presaging pneumonia.

I feared a fatal result, as the left pleural cavity contained considerable bloody serum, and immediately applied a thick dressing of Antiphlogistine ten inches wide, from the spinal column to the median line, in the front, and kept up this treatment for three weeks, changing the dressing every morning. By this time the lung was perfectly clear, and there was no further use for the external application.

The Antiphlogistine was covered by a cotton jacket and held in place with a cloth bandage. The pain was relieved by hypodermics of morphine and atropine and the heart was sustained by strychnine. Outside of a little calomel and some laxatives, there was no other treatment. I aspirated the pleural cavity and drew off the serum. In view of the complications in this case, I consider it rather remarkable that the patient made so excellent a recovery. It only confirms my own high opinion of the remedial value of Antiphlogistine.-J. A. Davis, M. D., Norman, Okla.

Think It Over-Young Man, Young Woman, Think It Over-It is a Serious Matter.

It is stated that Mrs. Hettie Green, who is one of the wealthiest women in the world, and who manages her properties, which consist of railroads, etc., said, after taking a business course: "Every man and every woman, rich or poor, young or old, prince or peasant, married or single, should secure a business education."

If you are interested in securing a good business education and a good position, and will read the catalogue published by Draughon's Practical Business, Dallas, San Antonio, Waco, Fort Worth, El Paso, Galveston, Denison, Tyler, Austin and elsewhere, a chain of twenty-eight colleges in sixteen States, and do not attend one of Draughon's Practical Business Colleges;

It will not, in our opinion, be because you are not convinced that Draughon's Practical Business Colleges offer the best course of instruction in bookkeeping.

It will not, in our opinion, be because you are not compelled to admit that the system of shorthand taught in Draughon's Practical Business Colleges is the best system in existence, and is used by more government stenographers and court reporters than all the other systems of shorthand combined-a system acknowledged by the world's greatest writers to possess the greatest speed qualities and reading qualities.

Catarrhal Diseases of the Naso-Pharynx.

As the season is now fast approaching when this class of diseases take up most of the physician's time and is the cause of more suffering among more people than almost all other diseases combined, I wish to say something in regard to a simple and effective treatment of this class of diseases, there being very few who do not suffer from it in some of its various forms. Chronic nasal catarrh is in most cases a result of repeated attacks of acute catarrh or "common colds." In this short article it is not necessary to go into details or take up time or space with causes and symptoms, everyone is familiar with them. My object here is to simply give my plan of treatment plain and simple, yet eminently successful. In the treatment of these cases evey physician is well aware of the fact that cleanliness is in most cases all that is necessary for a cure. Every physician also knows that in order to have a perfect cleansing agent it must be both alkaline and antiseptic. My success in treating these diseases, viz., acute and chronic nasal catarrh, including ozena, acute and chronic tonsilitis, pharyngitis, catarrhal deafness, etc., has been due almost entirely to the systematic and thorough cleansing of the mucous surface with Glyco-Thymoline. I have been using this ideal alkaline antiseptic in my practice for years and have never been disappointed in it.-H. M. Marsh, M. D., Auburn, Ky.

How Can the Efficiency of Attendants in State Hospitals for the Insane be Improved, Maintained, and Why?

BY T. R. NICHOLS, M. D., TERRELL, TEXAS.

An ideal corps of attendants is a condition that is fully appreciated by all medical staffs of these hospitals, and to attain any modicum of success is the crowning glory of their superintendents.

It is supposed that good judgment is exercised in passing on the qualifications of applicants, unless an imperative necessity demands that vacancies be supplied at once; however, unwise selections can be eliminated as the occasion arises, and those who are not contented will terminate their services voluntarily.

It is reasonable that a number are employed who do not possess the mental attributes to appreciate and comprehend the responsibilities required. This state of affairs is prevalent in all psychopathic State hospitals, and is not conducive to the welfare of the patients.
