THE NEW REMEDY FOR NEURALGIA RHEUMATISM. Tonga is a product of the Tonga or Friendly Islands, and has long been used as a domestic remedy by the natives of the Fiji Group. It was introduced to the notice of the medical profession by Drs. Einger and Murrell, of London, England, who have made some very thorough and most satisfactory experiments as to its therapeutic value. Their high claims for its efficacy as a remedy for neuralgia aud rheumatism have been extensively corroborated by the most eminent medical authorities of both continents. When used in conjunction with salicylic acid it has had a surprisingly happy effect on the most obdurate cases of neuralgia, especially that of the cranial nerves. In chronic arthritis it is invaluable. TONGALINE is an efficacious and elegant preparation of Tonga, with powerful salicylates, and com- mends itself to the medical profession.

We take pleasure in submitting herewith a few of the numerous testimonials received from reputable Physicians in commendation of our new remedy TONGALINB. Many of these letters have come to us unsolicited, and they all represent the conscientious opinions of the subscribers duly formed after a thorough trial. We have had also any quantity of verbal endorse- ments and letters from Physicians whose names carry great weight but who prefer they should not appear in printed circulars. We solicit a trial of this preparation by every Physician, feeling confident of a favorable result. Please note that it is not a secret medicine, and we have secured a trade-mark only to protect a valuable property against imitations. Its sale is urged only through the prescriptions of Physicians whose endorsement has placed it before the public. A. A. MELLIER. TESTIMONIALS. St. Louis, October 10,1883. I have delayed replying to your request for my experi- ence with Tongaline until I could observe its action in a larger number of cases. Am now convinced, after testing its virtues in some exceedingly severe and obstinate cases, that Tongaline possesses decided and marked curative properties in rheumatic neuralgia and also in many in- stances of muscular rheumatism. Tours truly, WALTER COLES, M.D. Louisville, Ky., June 12, 1883. I have used Tongaline during the past few weeks in neuralgic affections, many of them in a severe form, with the most gratifying results, and these re dts have been quite uniform. T. S. BELL, M.D. St. Louis, July 20, 1883. I have found Tongaline a useful combination in rheu- matic neuralgia. C. H. HUGHES, M.D. Cleveland, Ohio, July 30, 1883. I have used your preparation Tongaline extensively, and have been well satisfied with its results. lam not favora- ble to the practice of giving laudatory notices to prepara- tions outside of the U. S. P., but in your case think myself justified in asking my brethren to do as I have done—test Tongaline and give their results in a public manner. It may be they will show where I am in error—it is not im- possible they may confirm my views; in that event you are to be congratulated upon the value of the article you offer physicians. REUBEN A. VANCE, M.D. Detroit, July 12,1883. I have tried Tongaline in two cases of irregularly recur- rent facial neuralgia, and with excellent results; it con- trols the nmediate attack in a few hours, two or three at the outside, and often giving almost immediate relief. F. W. OWEN, M.D. West Louisville, Ky., July 29,1883. I have tried your Tongaline in two very obstinate cases of neuralgia of the cranial nerves and can truly say I am highly pleased with its effects. Think it far superior to the old remedies. I intend to use it in the future. J. P. PIKE, M.D. Oglethorpe, Macon Co., Ga., July 16,1883. I have used Tongaline in a case to prevent a recurrence of neuralgia, and am very much pleased with the result. It gave satisfaction, and has been more efficacious in pro- ducing the desired effect than any remedy I have ever used in that case. T. P. OLIVER, M.D. Beech Grove, Tenn., July 23,1883. I am well pleased with the results of Tongaline, and re- gard it as an excellent preparation. W. M. HOOVER, M.D. Kenton, Ohio, Oct. 15th, 1883. I used Tongaline in one case of supra-orbital neuralgia, one of migraine and two of dysmenorrhoea. It gave prompt relief, and, of course, good satisfaction. G. G. LANGHEAD, M. D. Monroeville, Ohio, July 12,1883. Tour preparation of Tongaline has given me better sat- isfaction in the treatment of neuralgic affections than any- thing else I have ever used. Have used Tonga alone re- peatedly without success. CHAS, D, SHUMWAY, M.D. St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 16,1883. 1 am prescribing Tongaline with satisfactory results. For the indefinite aches and pains of nervous patients it is superior to any other anodyne. For nervous headache or muscular rheumatism it is almost a sneciflc. PARK RITOHIE, M.D. Indianapolis, Nov. 17,1883. I have used Tongaline in six different cases, three facial neuralgia, one neuralgia of the heart, and one chronic rheumatism; secured relief in each case and also in one of the most obstinate cases, where other remedies had failed. O. B. PBTTIJOHN, M.D. St. Louis, Nov. 17,1883. I am glad to inform you that the formula for your pre- paration, Tongaline, is a very excellent one. I have had occasion to prescribe it in several cases of rheumatic- neuralgic affections of long standing, which had seemingly resisted other remedies, and in some of them the Tonga- line has produced most excellent results. T. GRISWOLD COMSTOOK, A.M., M.D. Louisville, Ky., Aug. 19, 1883. I have tried your preparation Tongaline in one case only and that a most intractable tic douloureux of two years* standing; pain of most violent character; never absent over two or three days at a time before use of Tongaline. It is but just to say that, although she is not yet well, more relief has been given and a longer interval from pain ob- tained from Tongaline than all else she has taken. The combination* seems to be a good one, as she has used some of the medicines in the compound singly without relief. J. A. LARRABEE, M D. Pueblo, Col., Nov. 18,1883. lam very much pleased with the results of your Liq. Tongaline. Have frequently prescribed it with entire sat- isfaction, and it is very popular with the profession here. J. R. GARBER, M.D. Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 22,1883. I have prescribed your Tongaline very frequently. It has done all and even more than I hoped to be able to do with it. S. F. SMITH, M.D. Baltimore, Oct. 31,1883. It gives me pleasure to state that I have had some very fine results from the administration of Tongaline, also hear of the same good news from other hands. J. J. CALDWELL, M.D. Decatur, 111., Aug. 31,1883. I have used Tongaline and am more than pleased with its result, consider it a very valuable combination of ex- cellent remedies. E. W. MOORE, M.D. San Francisco, Oal., Dec. 25th, 1883. Having used your Tongaline extensively in my practice, lean cordially recommend it to every medical practition- er for cases of facial neuralgia, esnecially that of the fifth nerve (trifacial trigeminous), where I have found it to produce the desired result in every instance, even when all other remedies had previously failed. F. F. LORD. M. D. Central City, Ky., July 19,1883 I prescribed Tongaline for a very obstinate case of Rheumatism on an engineer, who had tried nearly every medicine and only received relief for a short time. He is now getting well. M. P. CREEL, M. D. TESTIMONIALS Manchester, Ohio, July 14, 1883. I have used "Liquor Tongse Salicylatus” in several cases of Neuralgia and Rheumatism, with marvellous success. My experience thus far most emphatically confirms the numerous excellent opinions which you have already re- ceived. Tongaline is an invaluable remedial agent, and the remedy "par excellence” in those affections coming within the legitimate sense of the terms, Neuralgia and Rheumatism. L. E. SISLER, M. D. Ashland, Ohio, July?, 1883. I have made use of the Tongaline you sent me, and am happy to be able to bear testimony in its favor. Case- male, aged 57, nervous temperament; has been troubled with neuralgia of the fifth and eighth pair of nerves for the past thirty-five years. For the last few years, the spinal ganglia, especially the upper portions, have been seri- ously affected, so much so that patient has been unfit for work nearly all the time. Has not been free from pain in head for many years. Was suffering extreme pain in head and chest when he began taking the Tongaline. I ordered teaspoonful doses every two hours, when after the third dose the pain had subsided, has continued since, with four doses per day, and has not had a severe attack since be- ginning its use some eight days since. This is all the more remarkable, from the fact that patient has worked out in the broiling sun ever since, which he has not been able to do for twenty years. lam satisfied it is a splendid nerve tonic. H. P. NELSON, M. D. St. Louis, Nov. 22,1883. I had occasion to use your Tongaline as a local appli- tion to an inflamed and swollen knee joint, and I never knew pain and swelling subside more rapidly. PHILO. G. VALENTINE, M. D. Sioux City, lowa, Dec. 1, 1883. I had an opportunity of giving Tongaline a trial. My patient was a young lady who was suffering with an acute attack ol rheumatic fever, complicated with endocarditis, derangement of the liver, and some oedema ol thejextremi- ties. After some preparatory treatment, I administered Tongaline in teaspoonful doses every three or lour hours; after having used four ounces my patient recovered. There was no necessity of using any other alkaline treat- ment. Am pleased with the result and believe Tongaline merits all that has been expressed in its favor. B. A. GUYTON, Sr., M.D. Steubenville, Ohio, Dec. 12th, 1883. Have used your preparation, Tongaline, in a case of facial neuralgia with excellent results. M. D. HILL, M.D. Gentryville, Mo., Dec. 10,1883. Have used Tongaline in a case of neuralgia of twelve or fifteen years standing, which heretofore had resisted all treatment, paroxysms occurring two or three times a week; after having taken sixteen ounces of Tongaline some six months since, my patient has enjoyed perfect freedom from her complaint. From further experience with it am led to believe that in some forms of neuralgia Tongaline is as nearly a specific as is Quinine in intermittent fevers. ED. J. ROWE, M.D. Strawberry Point, lowa, Nov. 26,1883. Have used Tongaline in two typical cases and it did its work splendidly; have found it very good in cases of flatu- lence, where a constipated habit prevails, and these cases are numerous. H. NEWELL SILL, M.D. St. Charles, Minn., Jan. Bth, 1884. Have tried Tcngaline in one or two cases and it worked fine. O. N. CLARK, M.D. Woodington, Ohio, Jan. 23,1884. I have used Tongaline in one case of rheumatism, and it acted like a charm. My patient was a little boy five years old, who had not walked for over eighteen months, and is now able to take a lew steps and is steadily im- proving. J. L. HUSTED, M.D. Lynchburg, Va., Jan. 18,1884. I have used Tongaline in a case of inflammatory rheu- matism and neuralgia, and it had a good effect. E. W. SCOTT, M.D. Wintersville, M 0.., Nov. 29,1883. I have given Tongaline a trial in two cases—one ol sub- acute rheumatism and the other neuralgia—and in both instances relief was promptly given, more particularly in the neuralgia case. Am satisfied it is worthy the attention of the profession. W. A. SAWYER, M.D. Brighton, 111., Dec. 24,1883. In my opinion your Tongaline is a very good medicine. I have given it a fair trial in facial neuralgia, and, to use my patient’s own expression, “ it is the medicine for that disease.” It has done him more good in one week than all drugs taken before within three years. J. P. RINKEL, M.D. Garth, Ala., Jan. 8,1884. Have used Tongaline in two cases of facial neuralgia and one of rheumatism, and obtained almost instant re- lief. Would recommend its use in all such cases. JNO. F. CLARKE, M.D. Cantrall, Ills., Jan. 2,1884. Tongaline is giving general satisfaction in my practice. It is doing all that it is claimed it will do. G. 0. SEIFERT, M.D. Hot Springs, Ark., Dec. 11, 1883. I have used Tongaline in the treatment of rheumatic troubles for some time past, and found it very beneficial in almost every instance. G. W. FRANKLIN, M.D. Kyle, Texas, Dec. 11,1883. I have thoroughly tried Tongaline, and it does all that is claimed for It. D. M. REAGAN, M.D. Fairmonnt, Neb., July 13,1883. I have used Tongaline with satisfactory results, and can recommend it to the profession as a valuable remedial agent in neuralgia and chronic rheumatism. G. W. JOHNSTON, M.D. Prentice, 111., July 11, 1883. The Tongaline I received of you did all that it was recommended to do, and I consider it a valuable prepara- tion. G. M. SMITH, M.D. Slater, Mo , July 14, 1883. I have used Tongaline, and it is certainly an elegant and palatable preparation. I believe it to be medicinally just what is claimed for it. I have used it in oases of cranial neuralgia and in sciatica, in which cases the results were most gratifying. A. H. SNODDY, M.D. Raleigh, Ind., July 13, 1883. I have given Tongaline a thorough trial in seven cases of neuralgia, as follows: Three super-orbital, one inter- costal, two of the ulnar, and one of facial nerve. Secured relief in from one to four hours, with drachm doses every hour, in all except one case of super-orbital neuralgia. W. A. JOHNSTON, M.D. Ringwood, N. C., July 16,1883. I have used Tongaline with marked benefit in a case of neuralgia, and obtained relief when a number of the or- dinary remedies had entirely failed. G. E. MATTHEWS, M.D. St. Louis, July 11,1883. I have prescribed Tongaline in several cases of chronic rheumatism, and have not been disappointed in its cura- tive effects. E. BENKENDORF, M.D. Georgetown, Texas, Sept. 15,1883. I have given Tong'aline a thorough trial in several cases of neuralgic and acute rheumatism. Am much pleased with its results, find it convenient, pleasant, innocuous and unsurpassed by any other remedy used for that purpose. I think the profession indebted to you for presenting to us such a valuable addition to our remedial agents. WM. P. FLEMING, M.D. Batesville, Ark., Nov. 1,1883. I am greatly pleased with Tongaline, and have cured five cases with it. E• FAY, M.D. TESTIMONIALS. Pinson, Tenn., Nov. 1, 1833. We have used your Tongaline in several cases of neu- ralgia and rheumatism, and are happy to say that relief has followed its use in every instance. We shall continue to prescribe it in cases where the use of the Salicylates is indicated. DRS. N. A. & A. MCCOY. Garnett, Kans., July 12,1883. I have tried Tongaline when specifically indicated, and find it a superb remedy. Uan cheerfully recommend it in the various forms of rheumatism. J. A. HENNING, M.D. Cuba. Mo., July 19, 1883. I have used Tongaline in two cases of neuralgia with perfect success; one was a case of neuralgia of the heart, the other facial. I gave it in drachm doses, from four to six times a day. J. H. CLARKE, M.D. Hardin, Ills., July 21,1883. I have used Tongaline in two cases of facial neuralgia, with happy effect, obtaining relief in a short lime. G. A. WILLIAMS, M.D. Hopkins, Mo., July 20,1883. 1 have only used Tongaline in two cases, one was inter- costal neuralgia, cured with one ounce of it; the other, hemicrania, cured with less than one ounce. D. A. SARGENT, M.D. | Oakwoods, Tex., July 21,1883. Tongaline has done splendidly in two cases that I have used it, one suffering neuralgia, the other acute rheuma- tism with pericarditis. J. M. MURPH, M.D. Wortham, Texas, Sept. 17,1883. The bottle of Tongaline was duly received. I have had the opportunity of testing its medical qualities in a very stubborn case of neuralgia, which it relieved. I consider it a scientific preparation of great value. I. R. ROWLAND, M.D. Lawrenceton, Mo., Aug. 6,1883. Had an opportunity of using Tongaliue with the follow- ing results; Have attended a patient for a year who suffers periodically with neuralgia of the fifth nerve; the attacks are severe and have never obtained relief within four or five days, and always had to use heroic remedies. Lately the patient had one of these attacks and I gave her one ounce of Tongaline, to take a teaspoonful every hour until re- lieved. I called the next day and found her attending to her household duties and free from all pain; she had taken only two doses and had obtained immediate relief, besides having slept well all night; up to this date there has been no return of the malady. I have practiced medicine sixteen years, and this is the first medicine I ever used for neural- gia of the fifth nerve that left no bad effects upon my patient. W. A. O’BRYANT, M.D. Little Rook, Ark., Aug. 4,1883. Tongaline has proved a perfect success in every instance within my experience for the relief of neuralgia and sick headache. O. J. LINCOLN, M.D. Ashland, Ohio, July 11,1883. I have tried the Tongaline in two cases of neuralgia, of the trifacial variety, and find it a safe, easy and efficient neuralgic remedy. It is a desirable, and I may say an in- valuable remedial agent, long needed, and not until recent- ly supplied. We have reason to feel grateful that we can rely upon its virtues. A. L. SOHUIOK, M.D. Cason, Texas, Aug. 15,1883. I have tried Tongaline in a severe case of facial neural- gia with best results. A. H. EVANS, M.D. Topckdiy Kansas Tongaline is good. I have cured one case of chronic rheumatism with the sample sent. Yours respectfully, H. PAGE, M.D. __ Honesdale, Pa., Aug. 10,1883. Where I have used the Tongaline in cases of neuralgia it has worked very satisfactorily so far. R. W. BRADY, M.D. Oherryville, N. C., Aug. 8,1883. I have only prescribed part of the Tongaline bent me, which proved very satisfactory. W. W. BARNES, M.D. Pineville, Mo., Aug. 9, 1883. Accept my thanks for the bottle of Tongaline. I tried it upon myself lor facial neuralgia and it gave me immediate relief;! also tried it upon one suffering intense pain from neuralgia of the head, one dose gave him perfect relief. I consider it the best preparation for neuralgic pains which I have ever tried. W. C. DUVAL, M.D. Mt. Pleasant, S. 0., Aug. 5,1883. I have been a sufferer from malarial neuralgia (facial) for eight years, and have tried nearly everything without any marked relief until 1 tried Tongaline, and I cau con- scientiously say it has proved in mv case aperfect success. FRED. C. LYNCH, M.D. Butler, Mo., Oct. 1,1883. I have given your Tongaline or Liquor Tongas Salicylatus a trial in only two cases as yet—one a lady aged sixty, tri- facial neuralgia, drachm doses, four doses gave perma- nent relief; the other a lady aged forty, trifacial neuralgia and cephalalgia of malarial type, same dose; two drachms relieved; neither have had any return. So far lam well pleased with the preparation and shall use it in my prac- tice. J. D. DONNOHUE, M.D. Fort Valley, Houston Co., Ga., July 13, 1883. It is with much pleasure I inform you that the Tongaline prepared by you has had a most excellent effect in my case of chronic rheumatism. It is without doubt an effi- cient combination. I like it very much indeed, and have entire confidence in its efficacy. S. O. EDGEWORTH, M.D. Lake Charles, La., Sept. 1,1883. After a thorough trial of Tongaline in my practice, I feel it my duty to add my testimony to its great efficacy as a remedy in rheumatism and neuralgia, and can heartily recommend it in the above diseases. A. H. MOSS, M.D. Troy, Mo., Aug. 4,1883. I have now been using in my practice your preparation called Tongaline nearly two months, during which time I have administered it in some six cases of neuralgia, be- sides other nervous affections, and am prepared to say that, so far as my experience extends, it is one of the most reliable remedies that has ever come into my possession. J. A, WARD, M.D. Marengo, Ills., Aug. 4,1883. I have been using your preparation Tongaline, and am well pleased with its results; in my opinion it supersedes all other so-called rheumatic remedies. S. 0. WORSHAM, M.D. Dayton, Ark., Aug. 23,1883. I have prescribed your Tongaline in two cases of periodic headache of a neuralgic character, and in both instances with entire success. I think that it will do all that you claim for it and more. T. 0. MILLER, M.D. Plattin, Mo., Aug. 18,1883. I have tried Tongaline only in one case of rheumatism and in that single case I must say it acted like a charm. JAS. R. PRICHARD, M.D. I Mountain Fork, Ark., Aug. 11,1883. I have been using Tongaline upon a patient who has been suffering with facial and cranial neuralgia for fifteen years and never obtained any relief except from Morphine; prescribed a teaspoonful four times a day and the effect was remarkable, giving immediate relief. R. T. CONNALLY, M.D. Judson, Sullivan Co., Mo., July 12,1883. I have used the Tongaline for neuralgia ih the head and neck with satisfactory results. The pain gradually disappears under its administration, leaving the mental and physical faculties free to resume th ir natural func- tions. It does not interfere with digestion, or interrupt the secretions, as do most of the narcotics, but seems to increase the appetite, and augment the flow of urine. J. N. BHSIOK, M.D.
