To the Medical Profession. LACTOPEPTINE The most important remedial agent ever presented to the Profession for Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Vomiting in Pregnancy, Cholera Infantum, Constipation, and all diseases arising from imperfect nutrition, containing the five active agents of digestion, viz.: Pepsin, Pancreatine, Diastase or Veg. Ptyalin, Lactic and Hydrochloric Acids, in combination with Sugar of Milk We take pleasure in calling the attention of the Profession to LACTOPEPTIÑE. After a long series of careful experiments, we are able to produce its various components in an absolutely pure state, thus removing all unpleasant odor and taste, (also slightly changing the color). We can confidently claim, that its digestive properties are largely increased thereby, and can assert without hesitation that it is as perfect a digestive as can be produced. LACTOPEPTINE is sold entirely by Physicians' Prescriptions, and its almost universal adoption by physicians is the strongest guarantee we can give that is therapeutic value has been most thoroughly established.

JOHN WYETH & BRO ELIXIR PHOSPHATE IRON QUININE AND STRYCHNIA. It is many years (quite fifteen) since we asked the attention of Physicians to the above Elixir. It has been very largely prescribed with uniform satisfactory results, confirming our claims for the advantages of administering this deservedly favorite combination in solution over pill form. Owing to the intensely bitter taste of the solution or the syrup, patients very gener ally object to them, and many sensitive stomachs reject their administration. Physicians of experience hesitate to prescribe in powder or mass either Quinine or Strychnia, from the want of prompt action, the frequent passing away from the system, undissolved and the occasional cumulative action of the Strychnia, when the pills are long retained. While this is a grave objection often noted in such powerful medicinal agents, it is equally true that solutions of Iron are not only much more efficient, being assimilated and absorbed with little danger of inducing irritation, as is so often the case when given in pills. Using pure alkaloids of Quinia and Strychnia, the excess of acid is not required, avoiding in this way the development of the bitter taste, enabling us to prepare the Elixir so that it will be readily taken by children as well as adults. We cannot exaggerate the therapeutic advantages of administering this prescription in the form we present it and feel wo have a right to ask medical men to direct our manufacture of this preparation, not only because we first prepared it, but from the fact that Physicians can feel every assurance of the care and exactness of its manufacture, and that there is one grain of Quinine in each teaspoonfull, a strength not possible at the price this Elixir is sold by many manufacturers. We have always carefully avoided exploiting or in any way introducing this or any of our preparations except through Druggists and Physicians. Each fluid drachm contains two grains of Phosphate of Iron, one of Quinine, and one-sixtleth of a grain of Strychnia in simple Elixir flavored with Oil of Orange. ADULT DOSE,-One teaspoonful three times a day. ELIXIR GUARANA. PAULLINIA SORBILIS. Guarana is used with much benefit in cases of Sick and Nervous Headache, Neuralgia, Diarrhoea, Gastralgia, etc. The active principle is analogous to Caffeln, being found in Paullinia in five times the quantity that it exists in the best Coffee. The tonic influence allied with the stimulating effect renders it an exceedingly valuable medicine. As its use has proven the entire absence of any irritating properties or astringent effect in Debility, Languor, Protracted Convalescence and Nervous Irritability, it is specially useful. The effect is almost immediate in all cases of Headache, from whatever cause it may arise; but it is more especially beneficial in those produced by over excitement to the nervous system. The usual mode of administration has been in powder; but the Elixir will be found not only more agreeable, but much more efficacious. Each fluid ounce contains eighty grains Guarana. For HEADACHE,--dose, a tablespoonful for an adult, to be repeated in an hour, if the first dose does not give relief. For DIARRHEA,--a desertspoonful morning and evening. For NEURALGIA, as a General Tonic for NERVOUSNESS, DEBILITY, etc.,--adult dose a desertspoonful three or four times a day. NOTE.--There are many Elixirs of Guarana manufactured of much less strength than that prepared by us. If Physicians will specify our preparation they can rest satisfied they will not be disappointed in the effects we claim. Physicians will find our preparations in all the wholesale and leading Retail Stores in the United States and Canada. JOHN WYETH & BRO.. Chemists, Philadelphia, 2 H. BURRINGTON I E.
