Winn, New Albany, Ind., has used Chionia very extensively in certain conditions of hepatic torpor and atonic condition of the lower bowels, and finds its action all that could be desired. SYRUPUS ROBORANS. 1-128 grain Strychnine to teaspoonful. The pharmaceutical skill displayed in making this favorite compound more stable and agreeable deserves the approbation of the profession. Syrupus Roborans as a Tonic During Convalescence has no Equal. As a nerve stimulant and restorative in wasting and debilitating diseases, as a constructive agent in Insomnia, Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, Bronchial Asthma, Marasmus, Strumous Diseases and General Debility, this compound has no superior. Owing to the solubility of the salts, addition can be made of Fowler's Solution, Syrup Iod. Iron, Iod. Potass., etc., giving the advantages of those remedies without interfering with the stability of the preparations. SYRUPUS ROBORANS is a perfect solution, and will keep in any climate. DR. W. O.

The martyrdom of our well-beloved President, William McKinley, by the assassin, Czolgosz, will not bear its legitimate fruit unless we realize the full significance of the sacrifice, and rising out of our sorrow, vent our outraged feelings in practical measures which will effectually prevent the repetition of such a tragedy. The untimely death of this good and true man, whose life was in all ways exemplary, who more than fulfilled the highest expectations in office, who was universally respected and loved, shows what terrible consequences are involved in the agitation of wicked and lawless ideas. America has shown a tolerance and a forbearance which border on rashness and folly in her treatment of men who conduct themselves as aliens and enemies, while eating her bread, living under the protection of her institutions and profiting by opportunities made possible by the very conditions they aim to subvert. Notwithstanding that we know the French Revolution was set in operation by the writings and speeches of a horde of socialists and anarchists, we go about our business and pay no attention to the fact that a society of anarchists meets around the corner every week, that our neighbor over the way takes a socialistic newspaper which advocates confiscation of property, derides and condemns prominent men, officials in the discharge of public duty, etc., attributing to them the most unworthy motives, heaping them with ridicule and suspicion, in order to influence its readers by arousing base passions. Things have reached a point where the Republic, with its free principles of government, its Anglo-Saxon constitution, ideals and customs, exists above a crater, in which seethes and boils a fury, born of bile and blood in ferment, and continually fed by the conceptions and harangues of warped and undeveloped minds. Few realize that the lower strata of society are honey-combed by small corrosive streams of opinion kept alive by (Continued on page 1546.)

CO., NEW YORK. PRE-SENILITY. PRE-SENILITY or premature old age, is a too early decline of the virile and physical powers, manifested by a commencing decadence of the reproductive glands-such as a wasting or atrophy of either the Prostate, Testes, Mammæ or Ovaries— caused by masturbation, sexual excesses or sedentary habits. Is the indicated remedy, as it is unexcelled as a vitalizing tonic to the withered glands of the reproductive system, promoting their normal secretory activity. Its continued and regular use for some weeks produces results which are satisfactory to both physician and patient. SANMETTO SANMETTO Is a true TONIC, not a stimulant, to the reproductive organs and mucous surfaces, hence its use for a sufficient period re stores their normal functions. OD CHEM. CO., NEW YORK. See Pages 1542, 1543 and 1544. Retention of Urine and Irritability of the Urinary Tract. I will say that on July 20th I was attacked with cholera morbus, which continued for sixty hours. I was greatly prostrated, and found then that I had retention of urine. I had never had any trouble of the kind before, and I was obliged, after that, to use a catheter three times a day, for several weeks. I took Sanmetto and strychnine three times a day continuously for three or four weeks, when I became able to urinate naturally, whenever I had a desire, but could not evacuate the bladder completely, there being from two to three ounces of residual urine, which I drew off once a day, and injected a solution of boracic acid, about twelve ounces, and passed as much of that as I could naturally, leaving the residue to be passed with the urine, after. I am still taking Sanmetto, and am improving in every respect. The result is better than I dared to hope, considering my former experience with other remedies in such cases, never knowing but one to recover as well as I have done. I have been pleased with the use of Sanmetto in cases of irritability of the bladder and urinary passages. I shall continue to use it in my own case, to the exclusion, for the present, of all other means and remedies. P. K. STODDARD, M. D. Prattsburg, N. Y. Soothing and Sedative Effect Upon the Urethra and Bladder, Rendering Valuable Service in Surgical Operations. It is with pleasure that I attest the merits of Sanmetto, and I think my experience with the drug justifies all the good things I can say of it. I have used it very extensively, and especially do find it valuable in allaying inflammation in the prostatic urethra, before surgical operations, and in keeping the urine bland and non-irritating after the operation is complete. It always has a soothing and sedative effect upon the kidneys, bladder and urethra. I shall continue its use in all forms of genito-urinary irritation. THOMAS P. GRAHAM, M. D. Chicago, Ill. Enuresis. On January 23d, 1899, I was called to prescribe for John L., aged sixteen years, for incontinence of urine. I found patient pale, countenance cadaverous, with mental and physical debility, from uric acid absorption. He was compelled to sleep on straw, and change often, on account of the odor. He had been so from birth. Life was a constant unhappiness to himself and parents. I prescribed Sanmetto. One-half bottle cured him, and he improved greatly in health, both mental and physical. I have practiced medicine for fifty years. I find Sanmetto a remedy par excellent. It excels all others for weakness of the urinary and procreative or gans of patients of all ages. C. R. HAMILTON, M. D. Edenville, Mich. Chronic Inflammations of the GenitoUrinary Tract. I have prescribed Sanmetto very extensively during the last eight years, and look upon it as par excellent in all forms of chronic inflammations of the genito-urinary tract. The soothing effects upon the highly inflamed membranous tissue of the urethra and bladder, is marked. I find its use in allaying the excessive tenesmus and agonizing desire to micturate, in these chronic cases of prostatitis, of great value. I shall continue its use in all cases where it is indicated, and can highly recommend it to my brother practitioners. DANIEL W. Eiss, M. D. Chicago, Ill. Pre-Senility and Enuresis. I have prescribed Sanmetto for a number of years and I think well of it. In old and debilitated cases of weakness of the genito-urinary organs it acts like a charm, strengthening and invigorating the parts to their normal condition of health. I have also prescribed Sanmetto for incontinence of urine in young subjects, and it has generally produced good results. It should be continued until its tonic and healing effects are well marked, and the organs and ducts strengthened. WM. W. BUDLONG. M. D. Frankfort, N. Y.
