[From the Medical Record of November 1st 1911
Having been requested to state what 1 know
therapeutically of Kennedy's Concentrated E1-
tract of Pnus Canadensis, and furthermore be-
ing requested to send it for publication in the
columns of your journal, beg leave briefly to
tax your patience and generosity.
For the past six months l have used this ex-
tract in many cases affecting the mucous men,
branes, and in almost every case it has given
entire satisfaction. In abrasion of the os and
cervex uteri, when applied in its full strength
by means of pledget of cotton, have found
it far more satisfactory than tannlp or iodine,
In endometritis it has proved equally satisfac-
tory. | have used it with perfect success in
acute and chronic vagipitis, by applying it in
its full strength every other day. have also
used it in several cases of gonorrhea, and must
say that vastly prefer it to the Wanted rem
edy of olaret and tannn
1t is certainly q most valuable astringept and
tonic; and doubt not that it will very soon
have its place in our Materia Medioa.

Your telegram is received. 1t contains no

Mr. Colfax has felt himself constrained by
the earnest request of his friends to so far yield
his private wishss in regard to retiring from
public service at the close of his present term
of office, as to say that while he cannot ask for
denomination, nor be regarded as antagonistic
to able men whose names have been suggested,
he would feel it his duty to obey the voice of
those who represent the party whose principles
he has for so many years indicated and sup
ported, and if they place him in nomination for
the Vice Presidency at the approaching Repub-
lcan National Convention he will not refuse to
accept the nomination; while he has sincerely
desired to be excused from further public ser
vice. He has at no time said he would refuse
to accept the nomination. This is authorita-
tive and considered by the friends of Mr.. Col
fax satisfactory, and they will feel authorized
to present his anne to the convention.

BUSINESS NOTICES.

The strong points supporting the nse of Fell
lows Compound Syrup of Hypophosphites are,
that while it takes immediate hold upon the
SYSTEM in stimulating the Liver, regulating
and strengthening the muscles of the Heart,
Stomach, Lungs, Sc, it has no facilitating eff
feet under any circumstances; and while its
continued use is marked by the general toning
of the system, without producing constipating
efforts, it may be stopped at any time without
the usual disagreeable effect following the dis
continuance of some otherwise valuable tonies
These characteristics are particularly valuable
to consumptives and other debilitated invalids

There is no trouble to use it; put it
