to forward to any physician literature regarding any of K. & M.'s

Wyeth's Liquid

Malt Extract.

Wyeth's Malt Extract

contains all the nutritive virtues of the best malt liquors in a much higher degree than any other product with which it can be compared, and the least amount of alcohol (3 per cent.) of any like preparation, which avoids the distressing consequences experienced from the use of spirituous liquors, or malt extracts containing a large amount of alcohol.

Wyeth's Malt Extract

is especially adapted to nursing mothers and children, to those suffering from nervous exhaustion, chilliness, and to those unable to digest starchy food. It also acts as a roborant in all cases of debility, and is a most valuable addition to the treatment required in convalescence.

Wyeth's Malt Extract

is practically a liquid bread that is partly digested. It has for its prime object the production of nutriment, and the entire process of manufacture is devised for the purpose of attaining that end.

Price, $3.50 Per Dozen Bottles, and sent to any address in Canada upon receipt of price.

THE GREAT FACT IN MODERN MEDICINE:

"The Blood is the Life,"

And Where Nature fails to make Good Blood,

WE CAN INTRODUCE IT.

BOVININE is Bovine Blood Unaltered from the Arteries of the Bullock; The Universal Auxiliary of Modern Medicine and Surgery,

and the TRUE “ANTITOXIN" of Healthy Nature.

In the more enlightened progress of Modern Medicine, "Bloodletting" has given place to Blood-getting.

Aye! Get Good Blood- but How? Not by the Alimentary Process. It has already failed to do its work (else the patient would not be sick); and in acute disease must not even be allowed to do the work it can. Stimulate as you will, the whole sum of the patient's alimentary power when fully forced into play, is unable to keep up the nourishing and supporting contents of the blood. There is absolutely but one thing to do; and, thank God, that can be done, usually with success, as ten-thousandfold experience has proved. That one thing is this: where Nature fails to PRODUCE good and sufficient Blood, WE CAN INTRODUCE IT from the arteries of the sturdy bullock, by the medium of BOVININE.

The vital activity of this living blood conserve rests on no man's assertion: it speaks for itself, to every properly equipped physician who will test its properties microscopically, physically, or therapeutically. TRY IT IN PRACTICE.

TRY it in Anæmia, measuring the increase of red cells and hæmaglobin in the blood as you proceed, together with the improving strength and functions of your patient.

Try it in Consumption, with the same tests from week to week.

Try it in Dyspepsia or Malnutrition of young or old, and watch the recuperation of the paralysed alimentary powers.

Try it in Intestinal or gastric irritation, inflammation, or ulceration, that inhibits food itself, and witness the nourishing, supporting and healing work done entirely by absorption, without the slightest functional labor or irritation; even in the most delicate and critical conditions, such as Typhoid Fever and other dangerous gastro-intestinal diseases, Cholera Infantum, Marasmus, Diarrhoea, Dysentery, etc.

Try it per rectum, when the stomach is entirely unavailable or inadequate.

Try it by subcutaneous injection, when collapse calls for instantaneous blood supply—so much better than blood-dilution!

Try it on Chronic Ulceration, in connection with your antiseptic and stimulating treatment (which affords no nourishment) and prove the certainty and power or topical blood nutrition, abolishing pus, stench, and PAIN, and healing with magical rapidity and finality. Try it in Chronic Catarrhal Diseases; spraying it on the diseased surfaces, with immediate addition of peroxide of hydrogen; wash off instantly the decomposed exudation, scabs and dead tissue with antiseptic solution (Thiersch's); and then see how the mucous membrane stripped open and clean, will absorb nutrition, vitality and health from intermediate applications of pure bovinine.

Try it on the Diphtheritic Membrane itself, by the same process; so keeping the parts clean and unobstructed, washing away the poison, and meanwhile sustaining the strength independently of the impaired alimentary process and of exhaustive stimulants.

Try it on anything, except plethora or unreduced inflammation; but first take time to regulate the secretions and functions.

Try it on the patient tentatively at first, to see how much and how often, and in what medium, it will prove most acceptable-in water, milk, coffee, wine, grape, lemon or lime juice, broth, etc. A few cases may even have to begin by drops in crushed ice.

Dr. Hamill, 88 Yonge St., who conducts the Medical Exchange office, wishes us to say that there is an active demand just now for inviting Medical Practices, and advises those contemplating a sale to place their offers with him at as early a date as possible.

COCA ERYTHROXYLON.-We need not enter into a full description of the history of the Erythroxylon Coca, as we believe that most medical men are fully acquainted with the principal facts concerning the plant. We may, however, recall to mind that the leaf is the only part of the plant used. The stimulating and strengthening property of the leaf in its natural state has been tested by experienced travellers and botanists during several centuries, and it is this invigorating property which the physician wishes to bring into use, and which he is enabled to do in a palatable form by means of "Vin Mariani," this wine being indicated where there is great depression, long continued exhaustion, and where a special stimulative action is desired. "Vin Mariani" is agreeable, palatable, imparting by its diffusiblity an agreeable warmth over the whole body, and exciting functional activity of the cerebro-spinal nerve centres. We have frequently prescribed this wine, and we can, from practical_experience, recommend it.-The Provincial Medical Journal, London, Eng.
