ALCOHOL IN SICKNESS.

At one of the London public hos
pitfalls a special point is made of giving
alcohol to the patients as rarely and
s,ar.y as poss ble and each time
that one of the physicians does so he
submits u special entry of the reasons
that actuateu him. In the thirty-two
years of the existence OF the hospital
alcohol has only been given seventy
one times. The cases received are
exactly like those received by all the
other hospitals. For 1904 they mum
bered 1897 in patients only. The
death-rate among these was 7.3 per
cent. For the same year the average
death rate among the other London
public hospitals was 81 per cent.
Therefore the use of alcohol III SICK
ness is not to be regarded as a neces-
sity. Although most physicians pre-
scribe alcohol in solution with drugs
for their patients-there was one ply
stefan of national reputation who did
not believe in using alcohol. Many
years ago when DR.. X. V. Pierce de-
cided to put up his valuable "Prescrip-
ton" for the diseases of women in
"readv to use" form he used as
solvent and preservative chemically
pure glycerine of proper strength,
which is better solvent and preserva-
tive of the active medicinal principles
residing in most of our indigenous or
native plants than is alcohol. DR..
Pierce found that the glycerine, be-
sides being entirely harmless, possesses
intrinsic medicinal properties, of great
value.

Inflammation, from the pains and
drains incident to womanhood can

vorite Prescription. An honest medi-
cine which has the largest number of
