ments with an exceedingly finely ground wheaten flour of the first quality along with fresh animal ferments. using trypsin and amylopsin. These enzymes were impregnated in such a way that when the food was prepared with fresh milk, the ferments converted the insoluble bodies into soluble ones,-that is, the trypsin broke up the curd or casein of the milk into para casein and soluble peptones whilst the amylopsin by its action on the starch product, converted it into dextrose and maltose and thereby formed the sweetening matter These sugars cause no carbohydrate indigestion when partaken of in the manner described but act as colloid protective, preventing the precipitation of the casein when acted on by the gastric acids, and reducing the development of intestinal flora by its bactericidal

action.

THE SECOND SUMMER.-There is no denying that the second or "teething summer" is usually a hard one for the babies. Digestive disturbances are common and the "wear and tear' on a little one's nervous system is often severe. The systematic use of Gray's Glycerine Tonic Comp., however, in doses of twenty to thirty drops, three times a day will obviate many if not all of the distressing complications that make the second summer such a bugbear. The baby's digestion improves, its assimilation of nutriment is aided and its whole vitality is so materiaily elevated that the teething process becomes a negligible factor, at least so far as the general health is concerned. The formula of Gray's glycerine tonic comp. adapts it particularly to the needs of growing infants that show the slightest digestive or other weakness. Clinical experience is a dependable guide, and countless infants have been carried over critical periods by the judicious use of this effective remedy

THERAPEUTIC ACTION OF PRUNOIDS.-Prunoids produce their excellent therapeutic results by stimulating secretions, increasing the fluid content of the feces and only gently increasing peristalsis. They are extremely palatable, easily taken by even young children, and when brought in contact with the secretions rapidly disintegrate and produce their specific medicinal effect. Probably one of the most gratifying features of prunoids is what for lack of a better term may be called their remote effect. While prompt and decided catharsis follows their administration in six or eight hours, a mild and salutary laxative influence is observed for several days after the final dose of prunoids

"PERSONALLY CONDUCTED" SCHOOL GIRL.-In a recent issue of one of our prominent medical journals appeared an article from the pen of a well known pediatrist, entitled "The Personally Conducted Baby." While the importance of a sedulous and careful attention to the needs of the growing infant cannot be over-esti

mated, it is equally important that the physical requirements of the adolescent school girl should be carefully looked after during the impressionable and formative period of life incident to the initiation of the menstrual epoch, "The Personally Conducted School Girl" is more likely to successfully weather the stress and strain of the modern educational system than one who is not so carefully guarded. Regularity and system are the essential requisites of success. Hurried and irregular meals, the eating of an undue amount of pickles and condiments, too frequent indulgence. in candies and sweets, should not be allowed. Habitual constipation should not be allowed to continue, and sufficient exercise in the open air should be insisted upon. In spite of all hygienic precautions, however, the school girl is likely to become more, or less chloranemic. In such cases the irritant forms of iron are worse than useless, because of their disturbing effect upon digestion and their constipating action. Peto-Mangan (Gude) is free from these disadvantages and can be given as long as necessary without producing intolerance or gastrointestinal derangement.

TREATMENT OF GASTROINTESTINAL IRRITATIONS-Brose S. Horne, formerly physician to Indiana State Prison, Marion, says. Enteritis is only a clinical expression and the disease is due to many causes. The most fruitful cause is drinking water contaminated by the discharges from diseased patients. There are many microorganisms found in the discharges from these patients. One is the ameba dysenteriæ, claimed by some to be the main cause, but it is doubtful if any one organism can be ́pointed out as the specific cause of the trouble.

The common symptoms met with in these disorders are about the same, commencing with a slight form of gastrointestinal catarrh. After the stage of incubation which may last from® a few hours to a few days, symptoms of dyspepsia and diarrhea set in.

During the winter of 1901-1902 an epidemic started in Michigan City, Indiana. At that time the writer was physician of the Indiana State Prison. Hundreds of cases developed. A description of one case will suffice:

John S., age 32, white, was taken sick with a discharge of mucus from the bowels. He had tenesmus, griping pains, went to stool one hundred and twenty times the first twenty-four hours. He was given the ordinary treatment without any relief whatever. After the first forty-eight hours his bowels were washed out with a solution of hot water and glyco-thymoline two ounces to each pint of water. He was given a few doses of Dover's powder and a half a tablespoonful of glyco-thymoline in a little water every two hours. In forty-eight hours from the beginning of this treatment he was up and around. The constant vomiting he had disappeared after the third dose of glyco-thymoline.

NTIK AMNIA

PREPARATIONS

ANTIKAMNIA & SALOL TABLETS

Hare says "Salol renders the intestinal canal antiseptic and is the most valued drug in intestinal affections." The anodyne properties of antikamnia in connection with salol render this tablet very useful in dysentery, indigestion, cholera morbus, diarrhoea, colic, and all conditions due to intestinal fermentation.

ANTIKAMNIA & CODEINE TABLETS

Especially useful in dysmenorrhoea, utero-ovarian pain, and pain in general caused by suppressed or irregular menses. This tablet controls the pains of these disorders in the shortest time and by the most natural and economic method. The synergetic action of these drugs is ideal, for not only are their sedative and analgesic properties unsurpassed, but they are followed by no unpleasant effects.

The efficacy of this tablet in all neuroses of the larynx is also well known. In coughs and colds, coryza and la grippe they will always be found of inestimable value.

ENTEROCOLITIS AND CHOLERA INFANTUM.-The following advice from the pen of a well known Denver physician, will be found to be most seasonable and helpful, in the treatment of enterocolitis: Cleanse the intestinal tract with calomel and a saline or with castor oil. Prescribe a suitable diet, easily digested and non-irritating. Irrigate the rectum and colon at suitable intervals with normal salt solution or some mild antiseptic, using for the purpose a soft rubber catheter or colon tube.

Instead of opiates, which lock up the secretions and thereby favor autointoxication, relieve the muscular rigidity and the excruciating pain which is such a drain upon the vital forces by the use of antiphlogistine as hot as can be borne over the entire abdominal walls and covered with absorbent cotton. If the patient is not too far gone, the effect will be astonishing. The little drawn faced patient, who until now has been suffering severely, will in most cases soon quiet down: the agonised expression will leave the face and restful slumber supervene, thus starting the child upon the road to recovery.
