A FINANCIAL "SIMILE."-The prudent financier always has at his command a reserve store of sound securities with which to meet the demands of a period of monetary stringency. Likewise a healthy individual maintains in his vital bank account a reasonably liberal balance of forceful energy upon which he may draw during periods of physical stress and strain. When, however, the business man gambles with his capital his financial reserve is often hypothecated and is thus unavailable in times of emergency. So it is with the man or woman who improvidently consumes the physical capital with which nature liberally endows the human organism. Too liberal and too frequent drafts deplete the vital store more rapidly than the normal deposits of force and energy are credited to the physical account. It is just at this period that the physician is consulted in his capacity as a physico-financial expert. Upon his advice, at this critical juncture, depends the vital solvency of the patient. The undue expenditure of energy must be checked; the vital assets must be conserved; timely deposits of negotiable funds must be entered to the credit of the impaired balance. The vital bank account of the depleted anemic, the over-tired, over-worked neurasthenic, the chronic dyspeptic, the exsanguinated surgical patient, the marasmic infant and the exhausted convalescent are all in need of such deposits of vital energy. As the round gold "coin of the realm" is the standard of financial value, so is the round hemoglobin-carrying, oxygen-bearing red corpuscle of the blood the circulating medium of all vital exchange and interchange. To avert an impending physical bankruptcy, there is urgent need for the adoption of prompt measures to increase the deposit of these necessary erythrocytes. Pepto-Mangan (Gude) quickly adds to the circulating medium by constructing new red cells and reconstructing those that have retrograded because of over-drafts of force and energy. It increases the appetite, stimulates and encourages the absorption of blood-building nutritive material, augments the hematinic richness of the circulating fluid, increases the number and establishes the structural integrity of the corpuscular elements of the blood. It thus successfully plays the role of the depositor of vitality to the account of the patient who needs such essential additions to his or her physical credit. GASTRALGIA. Papine in teaspoonful doses, given every two or three hours will promptly relieve the severe pain associated with gastralgia. The effect of one dose is often prolonged for five or six hours. Malarial Neuralgia. Papine in one or two teaspoonful doses every three hours. Peritonitis. Begin with one teaspoonful every two hours, increasing the dose to three and four teaspoonfuls every three hours. A VALUABLE THERAPEUTIC AGENT. By C. P. Robbins, M. D., Louisville, Ky. Assistant to the Chair of Obstetries and Gynaecology and Chief of Clinic, Hospital College of Medicine. One of the principal subjective symptoms of any disease, or disturbance of nature is pain, and what the patients most often apply to us for, is the relief of this annoying and troublesome feature. If we can arrest this promptly, they are much more liable to trust to us for the remedies which will effect a permanent cure. The everlasting resort to morphine is overcome in a great measure by the employment of reliable coal tar products. In cases of intermittent fever it is best to prescribe doses of one or two antikamnia tablets when the first chill comes on. I also find them most valuable in controlling headaches of a neuralgic origin. Rarely more than two tablets are necessary; the pain is promptly dissipated and the patient can go about as usual. The tablets of antikamnia and codeine I consider the best and the most useful in controlling severe pain. I have used them after surgical operations as a substitute for morphine, and find them eminently satisfactory. In controlling the severer forms of neuralgia they rank next to morphine itself.-Medical Progress.

D., Professor Materia Medica Hahnemann Medical College and Hospital, Chicago. T HIS is a very profound and long-acting remedy affecting all parts of the body with aggravations morning, afternoon, evening, NIGHT, and after midnight. Desires open air, which ameliorates the most of his symptoms. There is an indescribable feeling throughout the body like a general physical anxiety, which compels him to hurry in all his work and when walking. Atrophy of glands, chronic jerking of muscles and a sensation of a band around parts. He takes cold on the slightest provocation, while he desires to be in a cool place, and in the cold air he takes cold from becoming cold. There is a convulsive tendency in the remedy; hysterical and epileptiform. The cavities become dropsical. Some symptoms are better after eating, and others are worse. Emaciation is marked, and it should be of great service in marasmus of children, with increased appetite. Slight exertion brings on all the symptoms: Weakness and palpitation; faint and fainting spells, with palpitation; feels unusually weak when hungry, warm food brings on much distress; formication all over; full feeling in body and limbs; body feels distended, as if there were great vascular engorgement; hemorrhage from internal parts; great heat of the body, which is only a sensation; heaviness of body and limbs; INDURATION OF GLANDS; hard, knotty lymphatic glands in the neck like ropes; induration of muscles. This feature points to its usefulness in carcinoma of glands. When used early it is often able to cure promptly. Inflammation of organs and glands. Injuries with extravasations. Lack of reaction and marked lassitude. The symptoms are worse while lying, but sometimes better after lying a long time. Worse lying on the back and worse in a warm bed. It is an antidote to the over use of mercury. Though he is restless and desires to move, the motion increases his symptoms. From all mucous membranes there is an increased flow. There is numbness in single parts and in suffering parts. There is a marked surging of blood in the body with general pulsation and hot sensations. Pain in bones and glands. These bruised, burning, cutting, jerking, pressing, stitching and tearing pains; when heated he sweats much and cannot cool off without taking cold. Its complaints are such as are found in plethoric, full blooded, vascular people. Any kind of hurry or running creates a flush and surging in the body with palpitation and weakness. Many symptoms are one-sided, especially the right. Sluggishness is a marked feature of the whole complex of symptoms; many symptoms are worse sitting and better standing. He is much worse in the heat of summer, and in the sun's heat. Swelling of glands. Its symptoms are such as are often found in the advanced stages of syphilis, and it is especially useful in such as have been heavily charged with mercury. The symptoms are worse from touch and pressure. Throughout the body there is a feeling of tension. Trembling, internal and external. The muscles twitch and the limbs jerk. The symptoms are worse from walking. The symptoms are worse from warmth; warm air, warm bed, warm room, warm wraps. Marked weakness in the morning; from ascending stairs; after diarrhoea; during menses; from walking. He is worse in wet weather, and better in winter. MIND: Anxiety driving him to keep on the go. Aversion to company. When reading and thinking cannot control the mind. Lost confidence in his own ability. Confusion of mind in the morning and evening, and when he exerts the mind. Overconscientious about small matters. Says he is becoming timid, even cowardly. There are times in the night when he is almost delirious. Illusions of fancy; sees dead people. Despair, cannot see any brightness in life. Discontented and discouraged. Dullness of mind. Very excitable. The whole mental state is worse from mental exertion.
