and In properties; hence the medical
practitioners are warned that 20 get the
benefits OF hypnal they must prescribe
the article itself as prepared in the lab
oratOry and not nero mixture Of solu-
tions OF chloral and antipyrin. Bichlo
rai-antipyrin is not hypnal, though often
resulting from an unequal proportion
and is mistaken precipitation.
The remedy is said 10 have an agree
children and in this respect alone is
preferable as we'll as superior 10 chloral.
Its action is to produce cessation Of pain
and invite sleep within thirty minutes
TO an hour after taking, according to the
severity and type of case in hand. Tho
principal superiority of the remedy over
chloral is in the absence OF all disagree
able taste and irritation OF the stomach
that usually accompanies the use of the
latter.
In tour OF investigation among the
best-known practitioners ST. Louis
Republic reporter was informed by the
majority of those seen that as yet the
ewly-discovered remedy was compar-
ative stranger 10 the American public,
but from the authorities and accounts
in leading foreign medical publications
hypnal wes destined to become valua'
bio acquisition 10 materia medica. The
value Of the discovery to the nerve
/ specialists and to tho profession in the

incalculable II the half that is claimed

and for some time will continue TO pre-
vent, very extended use of hypnal

pyrin being a patented article and it:
