The Chironian wants men to "fill the dead men's shoes!" It says that when homeopathic physicians die and go to heaven, they invariably leave behind them a large practice which always goes to the dogs for the want of men to fill the dead men's shoes. Do you want to be a filler, young man? If so, get busy.

The health department of the Denver received a well merited slap on the wrist recently, for the decidedly objectionable manner in which the street cleaning is carried out in this city. So long as the aforesaid health department is but a part of the political machinery of the city, what special scientific system should be expected?

A Colorado Springs physician brought suit against the husband of a patient who had died, the amount asked for being $137.75; in return for this ungentlemanly act on the part of the doctor the debtor declares that the doctor was responsible for the death and asks that the suit be dismissed and that judgment against the plaintiff for $5,000 be entered. Moral: don't present any bills.

"The steady commercial decline in the student following of homeopathy and eclecticism ought to have the effect of causing the ardent promoters of such schools to 'sit up and take notice!'"-Clinical Review.

Either class of schools referred to by the Review are in no need of any sympathy so long as they stick to their colors.

The studious manner in which Medical Advance mixes up matters in its December issue, re the article by Dr. del Mas which it copied at that time, leads us to think that there might be method in its madness. When the doctor learns that he lives in Denver he will, no doubt, be as much surprised as we were to learn that the original publication of the article was made in The Clinique.

"The Doctor vs. the Nostrum," is the title of a pamphlet issued by the Kentucky Medical Journal and at the bidding of the American Medical Association. It is not quite apparent to The Critique that every preparation meeting with disfavor at the hands of the A. M. A. is a nostrum, consequently we will withhold our willingness to "help" in the matter until some more positive proof is presented.

It is bad enough to be numbered among the slain in ordinary warfare, but when you find your name misquoted in the list of fatalities, then the limit has about been reached. The first "original article" in the December issue of Progress is credited to Rudolph F. Smith, M. D.

Dr. Rabe has some satisfaction in knowing that, outside of a very few, no one will ever know that he contributed to this publication.

The Pacific Medical Journal declares that a lawyer is paid from three to five hundred dollars for keeping a man out of the penitentiary for from four to five years, but that the same individual would make a kick which could be heard easily around the world, if a doctor charged him fifty to a hundred for keeping him out of hell for a lifetime. The moral of that is to get into the law business and keep your yap shut.

The homeopathic profession of Cleveland, Ohio, joined in doing honor to one of their number, Dr. Gaius J. Jones, on the 13th of November, 1907, at which time he was presented with a beautiful loving cup. He has practiced homeopathic medicine for over forty years and has been a teacher in homeopathic institutions for nearly thirty-five. May he live many years to enjoy the fruits of his efforts in behalf of homeopathy.

Blakiston's Son & Co., Philadelphia, have their Physician's Visiting List for 1908, off the press and a copy of the same has been received at this office. It is needless for us to say that the book maintains the high standard set by its predecessors of previous years, which is a pretty good guarantee that no up-to-date physician can be without one and remain happy for any length of time. One dollar is the price; 1012 Walnut street, the Philadelphia address.

President Roosevelt's dughter has been operated upon for appendicitis; Surgeon-General Rixey and a representative of the Johns Hopkins' institution have had their names thoroughly exploited in the press dispatches and the principal performer in the get-your-name-inthe paper act is getting well. Nick Longworth, excuse the familiarity, was scarcely mentioned in the matter, which only goes to show of how little importance the husband of the President's daughter really is.

It is said that Dr. S. D. Van Meter has been appointed to the position on the County Hospital Advisory Board made vacant by the resignation of Dr. Wetherill. We look for a recommendation of the appointment of a large list of homeopaths to positions on the staff in consequence thereof. Isn't it funny that "Parson" Uzzell, chairman of the board of county commissioners, should accept the services of the homeopaths in conducting his free doin's at the tabernacle for years, and still be so stingy in his recognition of members of this school in business pertaining to the public

MEATOX-Charles Marchand has succeeded in completing preparations for the manufacture of "Meatox" and we take great pleasure in recommending this preparation to the profession and laity alike. It is worthy of trial in all cases of mal-assimilation and lack of constructive vitality.

ANTIPHLOGISTINE.—Notwithstanding the

stringency of the

money market and the consequent cutting down in the output of many products of a proprietary nature, Antiphlogistine manufacturers are pushed to the limit to supply the demand for this standard and sterling preparation. That is recommendation enough.

A GOOD RECORD.-Another year, and the seventeenth, has passed, and a good report from Dr. Givens' Sanitarium for Nervous and Mental Diseases, at Stamford, Connecticut, is at hand.

Additional cottages have been added, and the treatment rooms enlarged, so that increased facilities are provided for electric, hydrotherapeutic and other modern methods of treatment.

The number of patients admitted during the past year, and the number sent home well, has been greater than at any time during the history of the sanitarium.

CHANGE OF SCENE AND PROPER MEDICATION.-During the past two months, we have met with more la grippe than anything else, and the number of cases in which the pulmonary and bronchial organs have been very slightly or not at all involved, has been greater than we have noted in former invasions. On the contrary, grippal neuralgia, rheumatism and hepatitis have been of far greater frequency, while the nervous system has also been most seriously depressed.

With each succeeding visitation of this trouble we have found it more and more necessary to watch out for the disease in disguise, and to treat these abnormal manifestations; consequently we have relied upon mild nerve sedatives, anodynes and tonics rather than upon any specific line of treatment. Most cases will improve by being made to rest in bed and encouraging skin and kidney action, with possibly minute doses of blue pill or calomel. We have found much benefit from the use of antikamnia and salol tablets, two every three hours in the stage of pyrexia and muscular painfulness, and later on, when there was fever and bronchial cough and expectoration, from an antikamnia
