SCrOfula

Any doctor will tell you
that Professor Hare, of
Jefferson Medical College,
Philadelphia, is one of the
highest authorities in the
world on the action of
drugs. In his last work,
speaking of the treatment
OF scrotula, he says:
ut is hardly necessary to state that cod-iiver
oil Is the best remedy Of all The oil should
be given in emulsion. SO prepared as to be
palatable."
He also says that the
hypophosphites should be
combined with the. oil.
ScOtt's Emulsion of cod.
liver oil, with hypophos-
phites, is precisely such a
preparation.
