Hypnotic Anti-Spasmodic Anti-Neuralgic CORDIAL PAS-CARNATA MERRELL This preparation contains all the active medicinal constituents of Passiflora Incarnata in concentrated form, and is the result of an extended investigation in our Laboratory. It is the most eligible form for exhibiting the valuable properties of the drug, since from it we have succeeded in eliminating the inert principles invariably present in ordinary preparations of the market. CORDIAL PAS-CARNATA Is a valuable adjunct to the treatment of nervous affections attended with the congestion of the cord and ganglionic centres. As a soporific without narcotic action and as an anti-spasmodic and anti-neuralgic, it is without an equal. Its action is between Morphine and Chloral Hydrate, but it does not depress the system nor derange the stomach. It is devoid of danger, non-poisonous, and may be given in any case where sleep is needed. It is the remedy-par excellence-in infantile convulsions, in diarrhea of children, and in nervous affections of the aged and infirm. In nervous or sick headache, neuralgia of the fifth pair of nerves, in sleeplessness of typhoid and other fevers as well as from overwork so common among professional and business men, it will produce a quiet and dreamless sleep, and at the same time prove a permanent tonic to the nervous system. CORDIAL PAS-CARNATA Is recommended in cases where opium and its preparations, the Bromides, Chloral, etc., cannot be given or are not well borne, and where it is undesirable to lock up the secretions. It is recommended in tetanus, cerebral pain, hysteria of women, dysmenorrhoea, tic douleroux, accelerated respiratory movement, pain in the rectum and neuralgia of the heart. CORDIAL PAS-CARNATA Is prepared for physicians' prescriptions only, and not for popular sale. Printed matter with extended notes furnished to the medical profession only. Samples supplied without charge on payment of expense of delivery. CORDIAL PAS-CARNATA May be ordered of our New York office, No. 96 Maiden Lane, of Geo. In ordering or prescribing, please specify 66 "CORDIAL PAS-CARNATA "-" Merrell." NEW PREPARATIONS DIPHTHERIA ANTITOXIC SERUM (Standardized 1000 Immunity Units to each 10 c c.)

Sander & Son's Eucalypti Extract (Eucalyptol).—In the article treating on inhalations of eucalyptus in cases of diphtheritis (Berlin Klin. Wochenschrift, 1876, No. 21) by Prof. Dr. Mosler, Director of the Medical clinic of the University at Griefswald, it is stated: "The oleum eucalypti folies, I employed in my tests, I received through Holzle & Chelius, Frankfort-on-the-Main; it must not be mistaken for the more frequently offered oleum eucalypti australe which is obtained from the wood of the eucalyptus trees. This latter oil is used commonly for mechanical purposes and has a far cheaper price; it is, however, no longer applied by me as an internal medicament." We certify that the oleum eucalypti folies named in the Berlin Klin Wochenscrift, 1879, No. 21, and there mentioned to have been procured from us, was the product of Messrs. Sander & Sons, Sandhurst, Australia. Holzle & Chelius, Frankfort-on-the-Main, Agents. |
