DROPSY Acites, Anasarca, Bright's Disease and From practically any cause, in any age or stage requires control of cardiac action, overcoming of circulatory stasis and the securing of free diuresis. To accomplish this and restore and maintain balance between the arterial and venous systems and increase the power of the heart, liver and kidneys to perform their function, more than seventy-five thousand physicians are employing THE SOVEREIGN REMEDY for DROPSY and its CAUSE Anedemin Tablets (Opposed to Edema) ANEDEMIN is the active principles of APOCYNUM, STROPHANTHUS, SQUILLS, and SAMBUCUS (formula with every package) so treated as to eliminate all untoward effects and safely produce the desired results. It acts upon the circulation, accelerates the flow into the thoracic duct, rapidly returning the serum to the blood by the lymphatic channels as well as by resorption into the blood by healthy arterial tone, from whence it is removed by diuresis and purgation. In confidential letters physicians praise ANEDEMIN saying: "Patient tapped eight times, ANEDEMIN restored him to former health." “—gave ANEDEMIN as last resort to man 78 years old dying with a very weak, irregular heart, general oedema, dyspepsia, etc., and he made complete recovery."

The extreme nervousness following the sudden withdrawal of whiskey must be taken care of until the system has adjusted itself to its loss of alcoholic stimulation, and for that purpose Pasadyne (Daniel) has proven itself of the greatest service. Its administration quiets the disturbed nervous centers, and enables the patient to secure needed sleep. An advantage posssssed by Pasadyne (Daniel) is that no habit is formed and no depression follows its use. Pasadyne (Daniel) is simply a pure concentrated tincture of passiflora incarnata.

Where Edema Is Attendant and where the heart, liver and kidneys are involved, Anedemin tablets may be prescribed with absolute freedom and safety and satisfactory results anticipated. These tablets are a combination of the active principles of apocynum, strophanthus and squill with sambucus as adjuvant, and their action immediately eliminates effusion, controls and increases the power of the heart, liver and kidneys to perform their function and affords the patient prompt relief and comfort. With continued use, Anedemin strikes at the root of the trouble removing the cause. Being non-toxic, not cumulative and not a gastro-intestinal or renal irritant, Anedemin may be administered at frequent intervals in large doses and continued an indefinite time in small doses if necessary. The patient does not have to be watched nor kept recumbent as in the administration of many drugs of this class. Physicians may obtain samples of Auedemin and literature containing exact formula by writing the Anademin Chemical Company, Chattanooga, Tenn. The young lady across the way says some may like the table d'hote dinner but personally she prefers to order carte blanche and get what she wants.

CAUTION!-Whenever the true merit of a preparation is authoritatively established, imitation is sure to make its pernicious appearance. To counteract the injurious results of another of these fraudulent proceedings-in this instance affecting firm name and reputation-Sander & Sons have been compelled to appeal to law, and in the action tried before the Supreme Court of Victoria, the testimony of a sworn witness revealed the fact that this witness suffered intense irritation from the application to an ulcer of the defendant's product, which was palmed off as “just as good as Sander's Eucalyptol." Sander & Sons had the satisfaction to obtain a verdict with costs against this imitator, who is perpetually restrained from continuing his malpractice. Dr. Owen, in a report to the Medical Society of Victoria, and Dr. J. Benjamin, in the Lancet, London, both denounced, as others did before, on the strength of negative results, the application of unspecified eucalyptus products. This forms convincing proof that only an authoritatively sanctioned article can be relied on. SANDER & SONS' EUCALYPTOL 1. Has stood the test of Government investigation. 2. It was proved at the Supreme Court of Victoria by experts to be an absolutely pure and scientifically standardized preparation. 3. It is honored by royal patronage. 4. It always produces definite therapeutic results. Therefore, to safegaurd the physicians' interest and to protect their patients, we earnestly request you to specify "Sander's Eucalyptol" when prescribing eucalyptus. The Meyer Bros. Drug Co., St. Louis, Mo., agents, will forward one original package (1 oz.) on receipt on One Dollar. |
