Chemical science has made wonderful pro-
gress during the present century and the
difficult operations of surgery have been in
fuitely lesssned, in danger and trouble, by
the discovery of auesthetics removing the
susceptibility to pain and cArboic acid aud
suppFessing the gsugrenous tendency after
amputAtion, aud that too violent suppurs-
ton, which in so many instances determined
fatally. The discovery of carbolic acid was
doubtless the greatest addition to medical
knowledge made within the memory of man.

physicians, and the results of its use sp-

some visionary enthusiast than the mere re-

this remedy diseases are cured which were

these were removed by Dr.. N. G. Etey, a
practice chemist of New York, who seeing
the immense value OF this acid as a rene

remedy ever offered sprang at once into
such public favor, or accomplished so wide 9
popularity in 40 short time. Like Miner.
va, it sprang full gro~n from the brain, and
was at once accepted by the medical world.
England Ireland, Canada, the West ladies,
all recognized its great merits, and Com
menced it's use, and the sales at home and
abroad are ever on the rapid increase. Mr.
q. Il. Holland, . gentleman of wealth and
polished culture, is the sole owner of this
valuable remedy, and, being q man of no
little medical experience, he readily under
stood the value of this dlscovery when frat
presented 20 bis attention, some FIVE or SIX
years ago, since which time he has devoted
his time aud ample means in giving il o
worldwide publicity. The stamp of public
approval has been given unhesitatinglY to
the carbolic troches, and their proprietors
are 10 the highway to rapid and colossal
fortune,
