Armour's Soluble Beef is the actual substance of prime beef in the form of Albumose, readily soluble, easily absorbed by the system and reconverted into albumen. Where a pedigested food is required, the Albumoses represent the richest and most useful form of Nitrogenous matter. RECOMMENDED as a food for the invalid and convalescent, particularly in all acute and chronic troubles of the stomach, wasting diseases, etc., etc. How Soluble Beef is Made: Ten pounds of fresh raw, lean meat, freed from gristle and fat, are placed in a porcelain vat containing a solution of digestive ferments, and allowed to stand until all the meat is dissolved. The digestion is continued until the solution is converted into Albumose. It is then placed in a vacuum pan and concentrated to one pound of Soluble Beef or rather to the consistency found in the jars. It will not spoil with ordinary care and may be used with hot or cold water without effecting its nutricive value. SAMPLES with descriptive literature, sent to phy. sicians on request.

KENNEDY'S CONCENTRATED EXTRACT OF PINUS CANADENSIS DARK. A NON-ALCOHOLIC LIQUID. WHITE. A MOST VALUABLE NON-IRRITATING MUCOUS ASTRINGENT. INDICATIONS.-Albuminuria, Diarrhea, Dysentery, Night Sweats, Hemorrhages, Profuse Expectoration, Catarrh, Sore Throat, Leucorrhea and other Vaginal Diseases, Piles, Sores, Ulcers, Burns, Scalds, Gonorrhea, Gleet, etc. When used as an Injection, to Avoid Staining of Linen, the WHITE Pinus should be used. RECOMMENDED BY PROMINENT EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN PHYSIOIANS. CAUTION. The great reputation of Kennedy's Pinus Canadensis has caused several cheap and irritating preparations to be sold as Pinus Canadensis. Some of these preparations are not only worthless, but absolutely harmful. As a precaution, it is not only necessary to specify Kennedy's Pinus Canadensis, but also to see that Rio Chemical Co. is on the label. Cheap substitutes of reliable preparations of established reputation are constantly offered to druggists as "just as good," and the temptation to the druggist to make more profit is very great; hence, unless care is used in avoiding substitutes, the physician will invariably be disappointed in the results.

D., Surgeon to Continental Guard; Assistant in Laryngology to the College of Physicians and Surgeons and the Chicago Polyclinic; Member of the Chicago Medical, American Medical, Chicago Laryngological and Climatological Associations; Attending Laryngologist to the German Hospital, Chicago, Ill. It is about forty-five years since Czermak first recognized the existence of adenoids in the post-nasal space, a little more than thirty years since Wilhelm Meyer first brought the subject prominently before the medical profession, and nineteen years since the subject was first fully discussed at the International Medi *A Clinical Lecture delivered at Chicago Polyclinic. cal Congress. In the past few years rhinologists have come to consider them among the most important common conditions found in children, and as one of the most important ailments of childhood. Adenoids may be defined as hypertrophies of the lymphoid tissue of the pharyngeal vault or of the pharyngeal tonsil. Microscopically, it is found that the growth is covered with a layer of columnar epithelium, and that its bulk is composed of lymphoid tissue with, in some cases, so excessive a development of fibrous connective tissue, that the growth becomes of a firm consistency. The case presented to-day is of unusual interest, in that the symptoms, although well defined, are liable to be overlooked by the general practitioner as regards their relation to adenoids.
