Malarial Cachexia The physician's work is not done when he has checked the paroxysms. Too many cases "hang fire." They need a constructive, restorative, building-up treatment. They need Colden's Liquid Beef Tonic to overcome the mental depression, dyspepsia, Colden's Liquid constipation, bilious Beef Tonic attacks, enlargement of liver, dullness, cold hands and feet, secondary anemia, bad breath, coated, flabby tongue, and other morbid conditions that follow. Specify "Ext. carnis fl. Comp. (Colden)." Literature mailed to physicians on request. THE CHARLES N. CRITTENTON CO. 115-117 Sole Agents for the United States, FULTON STREET, NEW YORK.

FELLOWS, 26 Christopher St., New York. Physicians find that conditions frequently arise when ordinary food ceases to provide sufficient nourishment-fails absolutely to build healthy flesh. In such cases of malnutrition there is urgent need of not alone arresting waste but of supplying an unfailing form of nourishment. Scott's Emulsion will cover both points thoroughly. It is a food-medicine that acts quickly and effectually. No one will question the value of cod liver oil as a reconstructive, and in Scott's Emulsion there are the best elements of the purest cod liver oil made easy for the digestion and acceptable even to the most delicate taste. Not an extract, cordial or wine; Scott's Emulsion is the whole oil perfectly blended with the hypophosphites and glycerin. The standard for thirty years.

WARREN says: "Tobacco impairs the natural taste and relish for food, lessens the appetite, and weakens the power of the stomach." Sir Benjamin Brodie, surgeon to the late Queen Victoria, says: "The ill-effects of tobacco are not confined to the nervous system. In many instances there is a loss of healthy appetite for food, the imperfect state of the digestion being soon rendered manifest by the loss of flesh and sallow countenance." Dr. James Muir, late president Royal Medical Society, Edinburgh, says: "The stomach is burdened with more work than a smoker's stomach can perform; hence the dyspepsia so frequently accompanying a pipe." The Rev. A. Sims, of Canada, who has collected much testimony with regard to smoking, says: "Every medical man knows well that the saliva which is so copiously drained off" by smoking "is the first and greatest agent which nature employs in digesting the food. . . . The tobacco-user spits away his own weight in less than six months." Dr. Alcott says: "I have never known a dozen tobacco-users -my acquaintance has extended to thousands-whose digestive organs are not in the end more or less impaired by it." Another authority says: "The functions of digestion and nutrition are impaired. . . . Tobacco eventually cripples and almost destroys the digestive powers." The idea that smoking "promotes digestion" would, therefore, seem to be fallacious.-Health. SINGING FIXED HIM. "I WISH I could sing, I think I'd feel weller then," said seven-year old James Corrigan, as he sat in the reception room at Bellevue Hospital. James is about three feet high and lives at No. 238 East Twenty-fourth Street. He fell into an excavation at the corner of Twenty-fourth Street and Second Avenue, and Patrolman Schoell of the East Twentysecond Street station got him out with the aid of a ladder. The excavation was about twelve feet deep, and when Schoell asked the boy if he was hurt, James thought he was. It was while he was being examined later by Dr. McLean at Bellevue that he expressed the wish to relieve his pain with song. "All right, you can sing, if you sing something nice," said Dr. McLean. James threw his chest out, raised his head high, and began to softly sing "The Palms.” In a moment the room was still save for the clear, boyish tones, and when he had finished there was a good round of applause. Encouraged by this appreciation of his vocal talents, James encored with "The Holy City." It was better suited to his voice, a high soprano, and nurses, doctors and attendants began to "steal in" from all parts of the building until the audience numbered nearly a hundred persons. After a second and even more generous round of applause than the first James "favored" with "Nearer, My God, to Thee." "That kid's got a great voice," said Schoell. And then he asked the boy: "Is that all you can sing, them church things?" "How'd Seabrooke strike yer?" said James. James received encouraging replies and gave an imitation of Mr. Seabrooke singing "Mr. Dooley" with variation on the last verse, "Mr. Devery." "Well, I guess you are all right, little man," said Dr. McLean, when the boy had finished. "I can't find any bruises or broken bones." "I guess it was the singin' that fixed me,” said the boy. "I always sing when I feel bad."-New York Times. GLYCO-THYMOLINE AS A THERA PEUTIC AGENT IN TREATMENT OF NASAL CATARRH. BY ERLE B. WOODWARD, M.D., Lincoln, Neb. Atrophic Rhinitis.-Mrs. P., aged 38; bothered with catarrh from girlhood. Applied for treatment February 12, 1900, because of excessive dryness and itching of nares. Upon examination, found the turbinates very much reduced in size. Discharge dried into crusts which clung to both septum and turbinates. As to odor-this case was no exception to its class. I gave her Glyco-Thymoline to use as a coarse spray three times a day, or as much oftener as she required. While it gave her great relief, her case did not progress as fast as we thought it ought, so I had her come to the office three times a week where I cleared nose thoroughly with hydrogen peroxide and afterwards sprayed with Glyco-Thymoline. Finally, I made a very thorough application of balsam of Peru, the GlycoThymoline to be continued at home as before. Before the end of one month, crust and the disagreeable odor were ters of the past. The whole nostril had a very much more healthy appearance. I saw this case a few days ago and she tells me that she is comfortable, but always keeps a bottle of the red medicine on hand. I cannot say this case is cured, but I believe she is as nearly cured as such a case ever gets. SCENES ON THE FARM. The author scribbles, deep in thought, The other plots a hatch. mat -Lippincott's. |
