Each fluid drachm contains 1-8 gram of codeine phosphate, which rapidly allays the irritability of the nerves and prevents the harassing coughing which, because it is non-productive, is useless and harmful. THE COUGHS FOLLOWING GRIP.-Dr. John McCarty (Louisville Medical College), in giving his personal experience with this condition, writes as follows: "Ten years ago I had the grip severely and every winter until 1902, my cought was almost intolerable. During January, 1902, I procured a supply of Antikamnia & Codeine Tablets and began taking them for my cough, which had distressed me all winter, and as they gave me prompt relief, I continued taking them with good results. Last fall I again ordered a supply of Antikamnia & Codeine Tablets and I have taken them regularly all winter and have coughed but very little. I take one tablet every three or four hours and one on retiring. They not only stop the cought, but make expectoration easy and satisfactory. The best results are obtained by allowing the tablet to dissolve slowly in the mouth before swallowing." ERYSIPELAS-PNEUMONIA.-June 5, 1905, I was called to attend. Mr. K. I found him suffering with a very aggravated case of facial erysipelas. I applied my usual treatment of carbolized salve locally, and gave the proper internal treatment, but when I saw the case again in twenty-four hours I found symptoms no better. thought I would try Antiphlogistine. After applying the salve to face, I spread Antiphlogistine on a cloth making a mask that would cover the entire face, directing nurse to change when it dried out. I Next day I found patient much improved. He said "that clay relieved all the burning five minutes after you applied it." I now make it a rule to use Antiphlogistine in treating erysipelas, and I am sure my patients get along faster than they did when treated without it. I also use Antiphlogistine in pneumonia, and all cases of inflammation of the lung or pleura. Indeed I would hate to have to treat this kind of cases without Antiphlogistine. I will report on one case of an infant where I believe this remedy saved the patient's life. Jan. 3, 1906, infant, age 18 months.

RESPIRATORY TRACT: AFFECTIONS, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENT.— The average physician is frequently vexed in finding a condition which resists his best efforts to bring about a cure. This holds good in almost every disease at some time or other, but particularly in affections of the respiratory tract, where there may be a great variety of symptoms in several cases of the same disease. Almost every physician has some favorite prescription for coughs, bronchitis, laryngitis, etc., which he uses until suddenly it seems to lose its efficacy-why, no one knows. Then another remedy takes its place until it, too, fails to give the desired result. It is rarely that one finds a cough remedy which will be consistently good in the majority of cases. Theoretically there appears to be a well-founded objection to the use of cough syrups in general, but nevertheless, there are times when nothing else gives satisfaction; therefore, the physician pins his faith to that remedy from which he and his patients derive the most good. It is not always easy to find such a remedy, but when it is once found, it is equally difficult to dispense with, and often the physician is almost compelled to resort to a routine treatment. In such cases, of course, he wants the best. There are constantly being placed on the market new formulas for affections of the air passages. Some of these formulas are of undoubted benefit in some cases, but usually it will be found that the results are far from satisfactory. Many of them cannot be taken when there is any gastric complication, as is sometimes the case, because of consequent nausea and vomiting. Others seem almost invariably to act as cardiac depressants and are highly objectionable for that reason. In phthisical patients the well known lack of appetite and intolerance of various foods render it imperative to give remedies which will not in any way interfere with the digestive functions, while at the same time controlling or alleviating the cough and other distressing conditions. Some time ago my attention was called to a preparation composed of a solution of heroin in glycerine, combined with expectorants, called Glyco-Heroin (Smith). Each teaspoonful of this preparation contains one-sixteenth grain of heroin by accurate dosage. It is of agreeable flavor, therefore easy to administter to Reliability in Furs To buy cheap furs at any price is a dangerous experiment.

It possesses many advantages not shown by any other preparation I have used, and has none of their disagreeable features. In citing some of the cases treated with this remedy I shall not go into a minute description of any case, but briefly state the conditions which existed and the results obtained, which were uniformly good. Case 1, S. B., aged 16. Caught a severe cold while travelling. This developed into an unusually severe attack of bronchitis with mucous rales, pain cought and some slight fever. Prescribed Glyco-Heroin (Smith) one teaspoonful every two hours, decreased to every three hours. After a few doses were taken there was a decided improvement, the respirations were slower and deeper, the expectoration freer and the temperature normal. In a few days the patient was practically well and able to return to school. No medicine except Glyco-Heroin (Smith) was given and the results from its use were excellent. Case 2. W. L., aged 31. Acute bronchitis. Painful cought, with difficult expectoration, particularly when in a reclining posture. Glyco-Heroin (Smith) in teaspoonful doses every three hours gave speedy relief and a cure was effected in a few days. Case 3. B. E., aged 26. Severe bronchitis accompanying an attack of influenza. Various remedies were tried in this case, with negative results, until Glyco-Heroin (Smith) was given in teaspoonful doses every three hours. In a short time decided relief was obtained and the cough stopped permanently. Case 4. R. L., aged 6. Capillary bronchitis with pains over chest, cough and difficult expectoration. Glyco-Heroin (Smith) administered 15 drops every three hours. After taking a few doses the condition was much improved, and a speedy return to perfect health followed. Case 5. W. H., aged 5. Whooping cought. Spasmodic paroxysms of coughing, sometimes being so severe as to cause vomiting. Tenacious mucous was present, requiring great expulsive effect to loosen it. There was little fever, but the patient was much prostrated and weakened by the cough. Glyco-Heroin (Smith) was given in 10 drop doses every two hours with good results. This was combined with hygienic treatment, the patient being given as much of fresh air as possible. In a few days the condition was much ameliorated, the cough under fair control, expectoration was freer and easier to raise, and convalescence uneventful. The case was discharged cured and there were no unpleasant sequelæ, the patient at present being in perfect health. Dr. Arthur B. Smith, Springfield, 0. |
