A Peculiar Form of Traumatic (Chemical) Con junctivitis "Some miners employed in sinking a shaft near here encountered numerous streams of sulphur water, which gives rise to an acute conjunctivitis. The pain is most excruciating, and can be relieved only by the use of cocaine, and even cocaine is useless unless preceded by Adrenalin Chloride. "My practice has been to use Adrenalin Chloride, 1-2000, and to follow this with cocaine, 2 per cent. solution, and then to give the patient a boracic-acid-and-cocaine solution to be used until all symptoms have disappeared. "The point is this: Cocaine will not relieve this condition unless preceded by Adrenalin Chloride."-A. M. HUTTON, M.D., Navarre, "In whooping cough, 22 cases from my case book show that I prescribed Glyco-heroin with permanent and speedy results, given in doses of five and ten drops, as indicated, to these little sufferers. It seemed to be borne well and efficaciously. Readers do not care much for the recital of cases; bare facts are meat from which all can subsist with profit. Glyco-heroin (Smith) is far superior to codeine, as sedative, in affections where a direct action upon the respiratory centre is looked for. For, certainly, its action must be direct where it is noted that respiration is deepened and prolonged. No vomiting, no nausea, no headache, no depressing of powers of mind or body, no untoward symptoms, Glycoheroin is par excellence the remedy for conditions affecting the respiratory organs, whether in children or adults, in the weakly and in the strong."JUSTIN HEROLD, A.M., M.D., New York City. The Word of an Expert "November 10, 1905. "SEVILLE PACKING COMPANY, "202 Franklin Street, New York City. "Gentlemen: I received the case of Nicelle Olive Oil you so kindly sent me and give you herewith a very brief report of the test I made of it. "Since the imitation and adulteration of olive oil has become so universal, and since the inquiry comes to me almost daily in my professional work for a pure olive oil, it is a duty I owe to the Pure Food cause to say that I have tested your Nicelle brand of olive oil by both natural and chemical methods, and I find that it contains nothing but a pure ripe olive fat, which is one of the most healthful, wholesome and necessary food elements in nature. "I thank you very kindly for introducing me to this luxury. It has solved for me a very perplexing question."-(Signed) EUGENE E. CHRISTIAN, Naturalist and Food Expert, 306 West Seventy-ninth Street, New York City. + The Largest Painted Sign in New York On Fifth Avenue, New York, between One Hundred and Seventh and One Hundred and Eighth Streets, the Pacific Coast Borax Company (proprietors of "20 Mule Team" Borax preparations) have the largest painted street sign in New York, and, we believe, in the United States. In length it extends a square on Fifth Avenue from One Hundred and Seventh to One Hundred and Eighth Streets, and also runs east one half block on both One Hundred and Seventh and One Hundred and Eighth Streets, giving a total length of two city squares, and a front on three After eight years of assiduous and faithful service to the medical profession, as well as to the patients and students, the Pennsylvania Orthopædic Institute and School of Mechano-Therapy (Incorporated), formerly of 1516 Green Street, has outgrown its present quarters and has been compelled to materially enlarge its facilities. To enable us to fully meet the rapidly-growing demand of the day we have purchased the new commodious building, 1711 Green Street, and have elaborately equipped the same with the latest and most approved apparatus for the effective administration of electrotherapy, mechanotherapy, thermo- and pneumotherapy, vibratory and manual massage, Swedish movements, corrective gymnastics, X-ray work, hydrotherapy in all its forms; for instance, Nauheim baths, Sitz baths, shower, rain, needle and electriclight baths, Scotch douches, etc. The most modern apparatus has been imported from Germany, Sweden and France and offers our students Recovering from Typhoid BURNHAM'S The patient's strength is exhausted, his tissues wasted, and a relapse feared if the digestive organs be not spared all unnecessary strain. Burnham's Clam Bouillon (Absolutely Free from Any Preservative) offers an ideal tissue-building and stimulant food which places the least strain upon digestion. The fact that BURNHAM'S CLAM BOUILLON is sterilized and is partly predigested makes it especially fit for use in typhoid fever convalescence. The results are grateful patients and rapid strides towards the restoration of vigor and health, without any fear of a relapse due to a dietetic error. : Physicians cannot make a mistake in prescribing BURNHAM'S CLAM BOUILLON in typhoid convalescence. It is bottled in glass, being 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. Manufacturers and Packers E. S. BURNHAM CO. 53 TO 61 GANSEVOORT ST., NEW YORK unequalled facilities. Our winter classes open on January 16.

This was the tenth child. Had no milk, and on the advice of a district nurse, tried various forms of so-called infant foods. Not one agreed. Then cow's milk was tried. The child cried night and day. I was called to see the baby, and at once put him on Evaporated Cream. From the first day, the cream agreed with the child, he did not cry any more or appear to be in distress as he had previously done. He improved and cut his teeth during the hottest city weather, was not troubled with any gastric or intestinal disturbances, and at the age of one year weighed twenty-eight pounds. GRACE M.

Phospho-Lecithin Phospho-Lecithin (Wampole) is readily tolerated by the most delicate stomach. Its immediate effects are not noticeable, but its continued administration improves appetite and digestion, promotes assimilation, hastens nitrogenous exchange and restrains phosphatic waste. It supplements the known value of the glycerophosphates with the nitrogenized phosphonzed fat, lecithin, with avenine, and with that standard nerve tonic, strychnine. Both pharmaceutically and therapeutically it is an ideal prescription for neurasthenia, nervous prostration, nervous debility, or that lowered tone due to overwork, anxiety or excesses. A New Nurses' Outfit Have you noticed the advertisement of the Stransky & Company's Nurses' Outfit? If not, it will pay you to look at their advertisement in the advertising pages a little further back. This outfit, which costs only $5.00, including the fine suit case in which it is packed, is one of the most practical ever devised for the nurse in private practice. Especially for those nurses living in the smaller towns or in the country, it is indispensable. There are only five hundred of these outfits made up. We advise you to place your order at once you will not regret it. The Taro-Ena Diet Taro-ena is the ideal food for infants, invalids and dyspeptics. It meets every requirement of a diet. It will stay down under the most trying conditions, it is easy to digest and it gives the proper necessary nourishment. Dr. C. Clifford Ryder, California State Woman's Hospital, says: "I find no food as valuable as Taro-ena in reflex and sympathetic vomiting, and one that can be kept on a weak and irritable stomach that rejects everything else. "Its being comparatively free from indigestible residue and its starch easily digestible in the form of dextrine, with its mineral salts free from indigestible cellulose and other irritating waste products as found in cereals, renders it especially valuable in all inflammatory and sympathetic affections of the stomach and intestines. It has been of excellent service in post-operative reflex vomiting, which is often so trying and persistent after abdominal operating. "I combine it, after being cooked, with milk. This combination forms a complete and perfect food very easy of assimilation. Taro-ena holds the casein of the milk in suspension, in small particles, thus preventing large curds from being formed while being digested. I order this in teaspoonful amounts, gradually increasing same as the stomach becomes less rebellious." A sample of Taro-ena will be mailed gratis to any nurse who will send her card to the Taro Food Company, Box 1, Danbury, Connecticut, and state the nature of the case for which she desires the food.

A Chance for Tired Nurses There are a great many nurses who are prevented by financial consideration from taking a month or so of much-needed rest from nursing. To such nurses we are, fortunately, able to offer temporary employment which can be made to pay from a couple of dollars a day to perhaps ten, according to the ability and acquaintance of the nurse, and the size of the community in which she lives. We wish to obtain nurses to solicit subscriptions for THE TRAINED NURSE, and will give a very large commission. There is a larger field than may at first appear from which subscriptions may be solicited. Nurses are not the only ones who should subscribe to THE TRAINED NURSE AND HOSPITAL REVIEW. It should be taken by physicians and especially by women engaged in philanthropic work, as for instance the women on hospital boards, day nursery boards, and those interested in district nursing. We will be glad to hear from any nurse who feels that she would like to undertake this work in her vicinity, and believe we can make her a business proposal which will turn out to the mutual advantage of this company and herself. Index for 1905 The index for the year 1905 will be ready about the middle of January, and will be sent free of charge to any subscriber who desires a copy. Take All You Can Get Most of us have to work for all we get. Therefore, when once in a while a chance is given us to get something for nothing, the majority of us are skeptical. We want to urge and insist that the advertising pages of THE TRAINED NURSE are in their way just as valuable as the regular reading matter, and every nurse should look over them each month to see what is new and may be of value to her. Sixteen or seventeen of our advertisers give large and valuable samples free of charge upon request. You ought to get these. Do you suppose that they could afford to give away perhaps a dollar's worth of goods to every nurse who writes, unless they were convinced that the article they are advertising is so good that it will bring orders? |
