ACID CARBOLIC (Phenol)
A powerful antiseptic and germicide, also an energetic and rapid poison; used internally as an anti-emetic and a gastric and in testinal antiseptic. Locally it acts as an anesthetic and cauterant. The liquified acid is applied in full strength to cauterize or thoroughly cleanse infected wounds, followed by strongalcohol to neu tralize its devitalizing effects. Carbolated oil (10 grs. to the ounce) or a carbolated ointment of similar strength, is one of the best dress ings for burns, scalds and i2

GLYCERlN
A dense fluid remarkable for its strong aflinity for moisture. It is hence of great use as a local depletant, especially to mucous membranes. It is thus applied to the cervix uteri to relieve conges tion and on a similar principle is used in the form of suppositories to cause the bowels to move. In diabetes mellitus, it is sometimes used in place of sugar as a sweetening agent in articles of food.2

HAEMO-MANGAN
A ferruginous tonic, each fluidrachm containing; Iron Citro peptonate, 1% grs.; ManganeseCitropeptonate, 1/4 gr. The preparation resembles dialysed iron in its freedom from astringency and acidity, but it has the advantage over that preparation in the fact that the iron is presented in the form of an organic compound which is readily assimilable. Clinical experience declares it a most eflicient agent in all conditions in which a blood-euriching tonic is indicated. Dose, 4 c. c. (1 fluidrachm) a2

HYPOPHOSPHITES
Phosphorus enters into the composition of all nerve structures as well as of the bones. It constitutes therefore an essential element of the food. It is generally believed by physicians that the hypophosphites produce their beneficial effects by supplying phosphorus in a readily assimilable form. They are therefore largely prescribed in many conditions of depressed vitality, especially in nervous prostation and in tubercular diseases. a. Calcium Hypophosphite. A food for bone as well as nerve. 2

IRON
Compounds of iron taken internally increase hemoglobin and red corpuscles in the blood. Ferric compounds have also great astringency and are used topically as styptics. a. iron Albumlnate (Ferric). A compound of iron that is be lieved to be more easily assimilated than the inorganic salts. b. iron Arsenate. See under Arsenic. c. iron Bromide (Ferrous).

Calcium Phosphate plays an important part in the animal econ omy in supplying the principal part of the solid framework of the body. Hence phosphates constitute an essential part of our food. In some diseased conditions the system fails to assimilate from the ordi nary food suflicient of these compounds to supply the daily waste, and in these conditions the deficiency must be made up by the use of chemicalfonds consisting of combinations of the phosphates of cal. cium, sodium, potassium and iron2
