SYNOPSIS. APENTA WATER IN THE TREATMENT OF OBESITY, AND ITS INFLUENCE ON CHANGE OF TISSUE. Observations in PROFESSOR GERHARDT'S Clinic in the Charité Hospital, Berlin. The Berliner Klinische Wochenschrift of March 22, 1897, publishes a Report upon some experiments that have been made under the direction of Professor Gerhardt, in his Clinic in the Charité Hospital at Berlin, demonstrating the value of Apenta Water in the treatment of obesity and its influence on change of tissue. "Such experiments," it is observed, "could 'not be carried out until quite recently on account of the inconstant com"position of the bitter waters coming into the market. In this respect the Apenta Water is favourably circumstanced," and it was chosen for these observations because of its constancy of composition. The conclusion arrived at as to the value of Apenta in the treatment of obesity, and as to its influence on tissue-change, was that it "succeeded in producing a reduction of fat in the body without detriment to the existing albumen," and that “the general health of the patient suffered in no wise, and the cure ran its course "in a satisfactory manner.

BLOOD, AND BLOOD ALONE, is physiologically ascertained to be the essential and fundamental Principle of Healing, of Defense, and of Repair, in the human system; and this Principle is now proved, by constant clinical experience, to be practically available to the system in all cases, to any extent, and wherever needed, internally or externally. And the same overwhelming clinical demonstrations have also proved A FILM OF BOVININE: that the Vitality and Power of Bovine Showing the Blood-corpuscles Intact. Blood can be and are PRESERVED, unim Micro-photographed by Prof. R. R. Andrews, M.D. paired, in a portable and durable preparation, sold by all druggists, and known as Bovinine. Microscopic examination of a film of Bovinine will show the LIVING BLOOD CORPUSCLES filling the field, in all their integrity, fullness, and energy; ready for direct transfusion into the system by any and every mode of access known to medical and surgical practice; alimentary, rectal, hypodermical, or topical. In short, it is now an established fact, that if Nature fails to make good blood, we can introduce it. Nothing of disease, so far, has seemed to stand before it. Apart from private considerations, these facts are too momentous to mankind, and now too well established, to allow any further reserve cr hesitation in asserting them to the fullest extent. We have already duly waited, for three years; allowing professional experimentation to go on, far and near, through the disinterested enthusiasm which the subject had awakened in a number of able physicians and surgeons, and these daily reinforced by others, through correspondence, and by comparison and accumulation of their experiences in a single medical medium adopted for that provisional purpose. It is now laid upon the conscience of every physician, surgeon, and medical instructor, to ascertain for himself whether these things are so; and if so, to develope, practise and propagate the great medical evangel, without reserve. They may use our Bovinine for their investigations, if they cannot do better, and we will cheerfully afford every assistance, through samples, together with a profusion of authentic clinical precedents, given in detail, for their instruction in the philosophy, methods and technique of the New Treatment of all kinds of disease by Bovine Blood, so far as now or hereafter developed. Among the formidable diseases overcome by the Blood Treatment, in cases hitherto desperate of cure, may be mentioned: Advanced Consumption; Typhoid Fever; Pernicious Anæmia; Cholera Infantum, Inanition, etc.; Hæmorrhagic Collapse; Ulcers of many years standing, all kinds; Abscesses; Fistulas; Gangrene; Gonorrhoea, etc.; Blood-poisoning: Crushed or Decayed Bones; Mangled Flesh, and great Burns, with Skin-propagation from 'points' of skin; etc., etc. N. B. Bovinine is not intended to be, and cannot be made, an article of popular self-prescription. As it is not a stimulant, its extended employment in the past has been, and the universal employment to which it is destined will be, dependent altogether on the express authority of attending physicians.

The phenomenal success of the CHRISTY SADDLE during 1896 should be its greatest endorsement It has fully met the univer: al demand for a hygienic saddle built on rue anatomical principles. Many little improvements have been added to the new models for '97, which, while not materially changing the general construction of the saddle, will greatly add to the rider's comfort. The new Spiral Spring Model which has just been introduced this season is specially designed for women riders and others who desire a real easy seat, and it has met with wonderful favor. For riders who prefer a more rigid seat we supply the Flat Spring Saddle with its '97 improvemen s. The hygienic features of the CHRISTY SADDLE are fully understood and appreciated by physicians and surgeons, and have won the highest testimonials from them. The saddles are molded in anatomical conformity to the parts, comfortable cushions are so placed as to receive the bony prominences of the pelvis, sustaining the weight of the body, and the open centre protecting those tender parts susceptible to injury. The frame, being constructed of metal, maintains its correct shape under all circumstances. WE ARE SOLE CANADIAN AGENTS FOR THE CHRISTY The Harold A. Wilson Co. DR. MEYERS (M.R.C.S.

MEYERS devotes his attention exclusively to the treatment of these diseases, for which he has especially prepared himself by several years' study, both in England and on the Continent. He has trained nurses, a skilled masseuse (Diploma Philadelphia), also all forms of electricity and other appliances which are so necessary for the satisfactory treatment of these cases. This is the only Institution at present in Canada in which Nervous Diseases only are treated. Massage given to patients in their own homes when desired, For Terms, etc., apply to CAMPBELL MEYERS, M.
