Burnham's Clam Bouillon (Absolutely Free from Any Preservative) A superior tissue-building food. It is concentrated, very appetizing, and has high nutritive value. It is acceptable and soothing to the gastric membrane when other foods cannot be tolerated, and the ease with which it is absorbed saves the patient's strength. It has a constantly increasing demand from physicians. That it is absolutely the pure juice of the clam, without any preservatives, is demonstrated by the fact that it BURNHAM'S CLAM BOUILLON spoils with undue exposure to the atmosphere. is put up in glass bottles and sold in pints and half pints. This assures not only cleanliness and convenience in the serving, but perfect purity and freshness while using in the sickroom. All the leading apothecaries and grocers sell it. E. S.

Y.) writes us: "I think very highly of the Triton Salts and use them constantly." Dr. SIMON BARUCH (Phys. Wright Hosp., N. Y.) writes us: "I regard the Nauheim System as a permanent improvement in therapeutics." Dr. WM. H. THOMSON (Ex. Pres. N. Y. Acad. Med.) writes us: "I have no hesitation in recommending your artificial Nauheim Salts." Dr. JAMES TYSON (Prof. Med. Un. of Penn.), in his "Practice of Medicine," 1903, speaking of valvular heart disease, hypertrophy and dilatation, says: ... the Nauheim Treatment is especially useful . . fortunately artificial baths may be substituted for the natural ones their therapeutic efficiency is undoubted. They are also useful in the deep-seated organs are relieved of congestion while the heart derives from its improved coronary circulation material for the repair of weakened tissue."

At the end of two weeks' time, not seeing what I would consider much of an improvement, I gave him a Bermingham Douche and a small bottle of Glyco-Thymoline. In about ten days' time the odor was hardly perceptible, and at the end of two months it had entirely disappeared. His general condition was remarkably improved, as well as his sense of smell. Levulose Levulose is a pure fruit sugar, similar to that found in all the sweet fruits and honey, while it is absolutely free from dextrose. It is the sugar that is most completely oxidized and best and most rapidly absorbed by the organism, and it is the only substitute for the ordinary cane and beef products worthy of consideration. Its sweetening and nutrient value equals that of ordinary sugar. As a nutriment of the highest value it is to be employed in all cases where corporeal energy is to be stimulated and increased, after it has been sapped by disease or diminished by the loss of the tissue fluids. Technical difficulties have long stood in the way of the preparation of a Levulose free from dextrose, and Professor Külz therefore considers it a matter of congratulation that the Schering Chemical Works have finally elaborated a method by which this is done. It Speaks for Itself The continued growth of the Pennsylvania Orthopaedic Institute and School of MechanoTherapy (Inc.), formerly at 1516 Green Street, Philadelphia, has made the present facilities for instruction as well as for the care of patients entirely inadequate. To meet the increased demand the Institute has purchased a large site and equipped the new building, 1711 Green Street, with the latest improved apparatus for hydrotherapy, electrotherapy, mechanical and vibratory massage, electric light baths, Nauheim baths, thermo and pneumotherapy and all modern mechanical apparatus used in the treatment of diseases. A thorough course of instruction in the Swedish system of massage, medical, educational and orthopedic gymnastics, electrotherapy and hydrotherapy is one of the main features of the institution. The practical instruction is in the hands of capable teachers, while the theoretical lessons are given by the physicians of the staff. The spring classes open May 15, the summer classes June 27, 1906. Particulars may be obtained by addressing the superintendent. Haddon Hall, Atlantic City Of all the resorts that abut on the seacoast, there is none that will quite compare with Atlantic City, especially from a standpoint of health. It is located nearly five miles out into the ocean from the mainland, where it is freed from everything of a contaminating order; where it is cooler; where there are less insects of every character; where the ozone from the old ocean, slightly warmed in winter by the breath from the Gulf Stream, but a few miles distant, sweeps the board walk in health-giving waves, and infuses new life and vigor into the systems of those who seek recuperation. And one of the best hotels on the island; one that remains open all the year; one that is more homelike in its furnishings and appointments; that offers a great attraction for the trained nurse and her convalescing patient, is Haddon Hall. It is located at the foot of North Carolina Avenue, one of the prettiest and broadest streets in the place, and overlooks the ocean. There is nothing in front of the windows and verandas of this famous old holstery to obstruct the view, nor shut off the cooling breezes. It is entirely open, and those unable to endure the fatigue of walking or even riding in a rolling-chair may be wheeled out on the broad porches and breathe in the lifegiving air until it wafts them back to health and strength and renewed vigor. Haddon Hall is modernly equipped in every feature. There are elevators from the street level to the top floors, electric lights, steam heat, an elaborate cuisine prepared by the most expert chefs, and special attention is given the diet for those who are unable to partake of the more hearty foodstuffs. Broths and everything of that character needed by the trained nurse for her patient are furnished free and no extortionate charges are made for extra delicacies that must be provided. SYR. HYPOPHOS. CO., FELLOWS Contains the Essential Elements of the Animal Organization-Potash and Lime; The Oxidising Agents-Iron and Manganese; The Tonics-Quinine and Strychnine; (each fluid drachm contains the equivalent of 1-64th grain of pure Strychnine). And the Vitalizing Constituent-Phosphorus; the whole combined in the form of a Syrup with a Slightly Alkaline Reaction. It Differs in its Effects from all Analogous Preparations; and it possesses the important properties of being pleasant to the taste, easily borne by the stomach, and harmless under prolonged use. It has Gained a Wide Reputation, particularly in the treatment of Chronic Bronchitis, and other affections of the respiratory organs. It has also been employed with much success in various nervous and debilitating diseases. Its Curative Power is largely attributable to its stimulant, tonic, and nutritive properties, by means of which the energy of the system is recruited. Its Action is Prompt; it stimulates the appetite and the digestion, it promotes assimilation, and it enters directly into the circulation with the food products. The prescribed dose produces a feeling of buoyancy, and removes depression and melancholy; hence the preparation is of great value in the treatment of mental and nervous affections. From the fact, also, that it exerts a tonic influence, and induces a healthy flow of the secretions, its use is indicated in a wide range of diseases. NOTICE-CAUTION. The success of Fellows' Syrup of Hypophosphites has tempted certain persons to offer imitations of it for sale. Mr. Fellows, who has examined samples of several of these, finds that no two of them are identical, and that all of them differ from the original in composition, in freedom from acid reaction, in susceptibility to the effects of oxygen when exposed to light or heat, in the property of retaining the strychnine in solution, and in the medicinal effects. As these cheap and inefficient substitutes are frequently dispensed instead of the genuine preparation, physicians are earnestly requested, when prescribing the Syrup, to write "Syr. Hypophos. Fellows." As a further precaution, it is advisable that the Syrup should be ordered in the original bottles; the distinguishing marks which the bottles (and the wrappers surrounding them) bear; can then be examined, and the genuineness-or otherwise of the contents thereby proved. This preparation can be procured at all chemists and druggists, everywhere.

By Dr. Anton Nystrom, Stockholm, Sweden. Authorized translation from the third Swedish edition by Carl Sandzen, A.M., M.D., Ph.D., Professor of Physical Therapeutics, University of Kansas School of Medicine. THE TRAINED NURSE is so well known and stands so high professionally, that we receive for review many books which have no particular bearing upon trained nursing. Of course, courtesy requires that these should be mentioned, and we are always glad to do so, but we do not believe that anything would be gained by an exhaustive review of a book on the above mentioned subject which is somewhat removed from the province of the nurse, and is within that of the physician, the psychologist and the sociologist. We will, therefore, simply state that we believe the work is good and is a valuable addition to the literature on this subject. The author in the main agrees with such a well-known authority as Krafft-ebing, but where he differs he is radical and original, if to go back to principles taught by the Greeks over 2,000 years ago can be called original. Probably the most interesting chapter for the non-medical mind is that devoted to the influence of Christianity, or rather to the influence of the Roman Catholic Church, upon our moral and sexual life. Hospital Review VOL. XXXVI NEW YORK, JUNE, 1906 What Does Professional Training Mean? MARY H. TUFTS The Hospital Training Schools offer great opportunities to those who enter them. But we must admit that for the greater part, the amount of benefit to be derived from professional training depends almost wholly upon the nurse. With the advancements and improvements in requirements and methods of work, "trained nursing" may now be justly ranked as a profession. The standards and requirements for the successful following of this vocation are high; and in order to keep in pace with the earnest, strenuous efforts in other lines of work, must, in the natural course of events, become higher. "What does professional training mean to nurses"? To those who have never received either Hospital training, or training as private students of some physician or surgeon, this question can have only a vague and incomplete significance. Conversations with many professional nurses lead me to the conclusion that the question has also a varied significance to them. Training schools for nurses were organized for the purpose of educating and training women who desire to become nurses, in such ways as best fit them for NO. 6 the proper and intelligent care of the sick. All the training in the world cannot give to a woman energy, unselfishness, strength of body and mind, gentleness, sympathy, refinement of character and common-sense. These attributes must be inborn; and also, the natural adaptability and preference for this kind of work, if a woman would succeed as nurse. Having these attributes, and a teachable mind, or the desire to make the most of every opportunity of gaining knowledge and aiding in comforting the sick, the nurse will find in professional training just those aids which she seeks and desires. Judging from the statements of some professional nurses, not all have entered the profession with the highest motives. Fortunately the "weeding-out" process among the probationers' ranks in the Hospitals usually removes all except such women as are adapted to the work. But in nursing, as in other lines of work, the "old Adam" of human nature may be "masked" for a time, and yet rise. again with unhappy results for even the wearer of "cap and gown." The woman who starts in on a course of training with selfish or unworthy motives, rather than for a love of the work, |
