WAYNE'S DIURETIC ELIXIR, COMPOSED OF BUCHU, JUNIPER, ACETATE OF POTASH, ETC. INDICATIONS.-Acute and Chronic Catarrh of the Bladder. Brick Dust and Chalky Deposits in the Urine, Gravel, etc. Acut and Chronic Bright's Disease, Lumbago, and in Acute and Chronic Rheumatism. PRESCRIBED and Endorsed by the Leading Physicians of the U. S. It is giving universalsatisfaction to the profession. It seems to be ALMOST A SPECIFIC for Diseases of the GenitoUrinary Organs. EXTRACT FROM LETTER, W. F. GLENN, M.D., Professor of Genito-Urinary Diseases in the Medical Department of the University of Tenn., No practitioner passes many days, or seldom many hours, without being called upon to pre scribe for some real or imaginary disease of the kidneys. While such serious disorders as diabetes and Bright's disease, in which these organs are fatally involved, are occassionally met with, they are few as compared with the many minor affections, not only in the kidneys themselves. but on all parts of the genito-urinary tract. Catarrh of the kidneys, ureter, bladder or urethra, irritations and congestions of the various parts of the urinary apparatus, are as common as bad colds. What is more frequent than patients complaining of pain in the back, in the rigion of the kidneys, with or without a scant flow of urine, or a burning sensation in the neck of the bladder or urethra on avoiding urine, and numbers of other similar ailments. In all forms of functional derangements of these important excretory organs the administration of a gentle but effective diuretic generally affords relief. Where an analysis of urine proves the absence of elements that would indicate serious organic lesions it is a safe and in fact a proper course, to use a remedy that will stimulate to gentle action the cells of the kidneys, thereby increasing the watery portions of the urine. Such a course will rarely fail to affect a cure For this purpose there is nothing superior to buchu, juniper, acetate of potash, corn silk and digitalis. The action of many of this class of remedies, such as corn silk, juniper, eucalyptus, etc., have a more or less specific influence on bladder and urethral irritations and inflammations. Some years since my attention was attracted to a remedy styled Wayne's Diuretic Elixir, which, upon examination, I found to be a combination of acetate of potash, juniper and buchu, prepared in such a manner as not to be unpleasant, but rather agreeable to the taste and acourate in its proportions. Being easier to prescribe and by far more pleasant to the patient than the same remedies freshly mixed in the drug store, I began to use it in all irritations of the kidneys, bladder, urethra and prostrate gland, and have found it to meet every indication. Now, when I desire a mild diuretic effect continued for some time, I rarely depart from this mixture. Prof. Deering J. Roberts, Surgeon to the State Prison, has been using it largely of late at the hospital of that institution, and reports it perfectly satisfactory. Numbers of others of my medical brethren, to whom I have suggested its use, have reported it thoroughly satisfactory. Case after case taken from my own and from other record books, could be cited to show its satisfactory effects, but that is hardly necessary. And while I am not an advocate of the wholesale use of all the various preparations that are now crowded upon us, at the same time, after thoroughly testing this one for some years, I feel that it will not be amiss to present its virtues to the profession, Not for any new virtues that its ingredients may possess, for they have been understood for many years, but because of its careful preparation and pleasant taste, and thereby ready utility. From the very highly satisfactory results obtained by me for the past five years, I am quite sure its use will be attended with no disappointment or regret. EXTRACT FROM LETTER, DR. THEO. JASPER, 322 SOUTH SIXTH ST., COLUMBUS OHIO: COLUMBUS, O., January 21, 1886.-Wayne Elixir Company-Gentlemen: Regarding your most excellent preparation, "The Wayne's Diuretic and Alterative Elixir" I am happy to say that I have used it in my practice for over two years in hundreds of cases, and in every case I nsed it it gave perfect satisfaction.

In no other agent, nor in all other agents, perhaps, is there such universal reliance placed by the medical profession in the treatment of Scrofula, Phthisis and other forms of wasting disease as in Cod Liver Oil, and yet there is no other food or medicine so needlessly placed at a disadvantage in its administration as this remedy is when prescribed plain or in the form of an indifferent Emulsion. Apart from its dietetic properties pure Norwegian Cod Liver Oil is an ALTERATIVE, A DISINFECTANT, A GERMICIDE, due to its richness in Phosphorus Bromine and Iodine, and a therapeutic agent of varied and extensive application, but its greatest utility depends on the form of its administration. Almost any digestive organ can be trained to tolerate plain Cod Liver Oil to a great or less extent, but the physiology of digestion, as well as experience, shows the inability of the pancreatic fluid with other solvents of the Duodenum to Emulsify Oil to the condition of assimilation to an extent demanded in wasting diseases. Physicians recognized this fact years ago, and Chemists have since been endeavoring to solve the problem of a perfect Emulsion (the digestion of Oil), but not until within the last few years have we," who were first and always advanced in its manufacture, succeeded in making SCOTT'S EMULSION an absolutely perfect preparation. In the manufacture of SCOTT's EMULSION no chemical change whatever takes place in the Oil, but each globule is divided and subdivided into a state of minute subdivision, or until its consistency becomes that of its menstrum, Glycerine and Mucilage, when its permanency is established for all time and under all conditions. The formula for SCOTT'S EMULSION is 50 per cent. of the finest Norwegian Cod Liver Oil, 6 grains Hypophosphite of Lime and 3 grains Hypophosphite of Soda to the fluid our ce, Emulsified, or digested to the condition of assimilation with chemically pure Glycerine and Mucilage. The permanency and efficiency of Scott's Emulsion is equaled only by its palatability. No child is so young or adult so morbidly sensitive as to find any objections to its use. Physicians are requested to send for samples--delivered free--and compare its medicinal effects with any or all other agents upon the sick. CHERRY-MALT PHOSPHITES A Combination of the tonic principles of Prunus Virginiana, Malted Barley, Hypophosphites of Lime and Soda, and Fruit Juices. An elegant and efficient brain and nerve tonic.

Chemists, 132 & 184 S. 5th Ave., N. Y. (4B) OR TASTELESS SYRUP OF AMORPHOUS QUININE. (LYON'S). FOR INFANTS AND CHILDREN. Each Teaspoonful is equal to 2 Grains of Sulphate of Quinine. Children take it and never know it is Medicine. NEVER PRODUCES SICK STOMACH, and always produces the same result as the bitter quinine. In the manufacture of quinine there is left, after crystalizing the quinine. dark colored substance known as Amorphous Quinine. We have by purifying the Amorphous Quinine obtained a pure alkaloid, the active principle of the Amorphous Quinine, which we have rendered tasteless, and which is equal to Sulphate of Quinine in every respect. It is tasteless, because it is insoluble in the mouth, but dissolves readily in the acids of the stomach We use no Tannin; no Yuba Santa, which contains a large per cent. of Tannin. Physicians can make Tasteless Tonics for Children and Ladies by combining with the Febriline Iron by Hydrogen, Carbonate of Iro", or Iodide of Potash. Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 29, '85. We have tried "Lyon's Taste ess Preparation of Quinine," and take pleasure in saying they are all that is claimed for them, and as palatable as sugar. DUNCAN EVE, M. D., CHAS. C. THOMPSON, M. D.

Goodell, the well-known Professor of Gynecology, Univ. Penn., Philadelphia, says: "The symptoms of nerve-prostration so greatly resemble those of even coarse uterine lesions that the nerve-mimicries can very readily be mistaken for signals of actual organic disease. Nor, indeed, are they always distinguishable the one from the other, for the marvelous kinship between mind and matter is a tangled skein, not yet unraveled by dead-house or by laboratory. "What, then, are these symptoms? Their name is legion, but the most common ones are, strangely enough, those which lay and professional tradition, with singular consent, have labeled as their symptoms par excellence of womb disease. They are, in the order of their frequency, great weariness, more or less of nervousness and of wakefulness; inability to walk ary distance and a bearingdown feeling; headache, nape-ache and backache; cold feet, an irritable bladder, spinal tenderness and pain in one ovary, usually the left, or in both ovaries. The sense of exhaustion is a remarkable one; the woman is always tired; she passes the day tired, she goes to bed tired, and she wakes up tired, often, indeed, more tired than when she fell asleep. She sighs a great deal, and her arms and legs tremble or 'fall asleep' so frequently that she fears palsy or paralysis. "Other symptoms not quite so common are the cerebral ones, such as low spirits, bad dreams, nightmares and night-terrors; explosive sounds in the head, a loss of memory, suicidal thoughts, the fear of impending insanity, the dread of being left alone or of being in a crowd. "From a large experience I humbly offer to the reader the following watchwords as broad helps to diagnosis: 66 First. Always bear in mind what another has pithily said, that 'woman has some organs outside of the pelvis.' Secondly. Each neurotic case will usually have a tale of fret or grief, of cark and care, of wear and tear. "Thirdly. Scant or delayed or suppressed menstruation is far more frequently the result of nerve-exhaustion than of uterine disease. "Fourthly. Anteflexion per se is not a pathological condition. It is so when associated with sterility or with painful menstruation, and only then does it need treatment. "Fifthly. An irritable bladder is more often a nerve symptom than a uterine one. "Sixthly. In a large number of cases of supposed or of actual uterine disease which displays marked gastric disturbance, if the tongue be clean, the essential disease will be found to be neurotic; and it must be treated so. "Seventhly. Almost every supposed uterine case, characterized by excess of sensibility and by scantiness of will-power, is essentially a neurosis. "Eighthly. In the vast majority of cases in which the woman takes to her bed and stays there indefinitely, from some supposed uterine lesion, she is bedridden from her brain and not from her womb. I will go further, and assert that this will be the rule even when the womb itself is displaced, or it is disordered by a disease or by a lesion that is not in itself exacting or dangerous to life. "Finally. Uterine symptoms are not always present in cases of uterine disease. Nor when present, and even urgent, do they necessarily come from uterine disease, for they may be merely nerve-counterfeits of uterine disease." The best remedial agent for the above nerve troubles, so well described by Prof. Goodel, is that well-known remedy, CELERINA (Rio), in teaspoonful doses thrice daily. Where uterine disease is also suspected, the best prescription, as largely attested by the profession, is |
