that are a Feeture of the Medical Con-
vention.
In the ante room of the Mes
senger Opera House, where the
sessions of the Medical conven-
ton r being held, visitors are
confronted with a varied, attract
i've and elaborate display of all
sorts Of inventions in the way of
surgical Instruments, accoutre-
ments and appliances, and a
multitude of concoctions, prepare
tions, pills &C., and on approach
ing to examine these displays you
are confronted by courteous gen
tlemen, mostly young men, who
greet you with pleasant demean-
or and at once engage your at
tention and lead you with deep
ening interest into the merits of
their respective displays, con-
vincing you as you listen and
heed, that the science of surgery
and medicine is advancing and
that the achievements Of its de-
voices r abreast of the most
notable of the age.
Among the more notable and
meritorious of these exhibits are
that of the renowned house of
Henry K. Wampole & Co.. manu-
featuring Chemists, of Philadel-
phia, who r represented by
Messrs. J. E. Langley and Jas.
r. Ligon, Jr., who take great care
in explaining to the physicians
the superiority of their prepare
tions. Among these is their taste
less preparation of Cod Liver Oil,
Asparoline Composition, Aro-
matte Laxative Composition,
Anamiol preparation of beef,
containing H@moglobin and
Albumin) and their digestive
Kola Wine, and Judging from the
way we saw physicians gathered
around their exhibit eager TO get
a sip Of this preparation of the
wonderful kola nut and pepsin,
it must have been something
very fine. Messrs. Langley and
Ligon insisted that we should
take a drink and we did SO to
please them. A more delicious
drink we have never had.
This article, like everything
the house has an interest in, is
gotten up in a first class and at
tractive manner. Our experience
is those who get a drink of Wam-
poles Digestive Kola Wine will
have a longing for more.
The G. F. Harvey Company,
manufacturing Chemists. of Sar-
atuga Springs. N. Y. represent
ed by Messrs. G.. H. Wilson and
A. M. Hanna, have an elaborate
display of Pills, Granules, Hy-
pooermic tablets, Tablet Tritur-
ates, compressed tablets. fluid
extracts, tinctures. syrups,
elixirs, SC, all of which are of
recognized merit by the profess

The display of surgical in
struments and kindred articles

i& Co., of Richmond, represent.
led by Mr.. II. E.. Anderson, does
not fail to attract attention ano

be one of the most complete dis

and appliances known to thu
profession.
