Why? Because as soon as applied, it forms a thin film that totally excludes the air and its at- tendant bacteria. Exclusion by dressings like Carron Oil is mechanical and therefore imperfect; suppuration, complications and scars follow. The action of UNGUENTINE is chemical through the astringency of the Alum, and is unique and thorough. 7his is a sine qua non This property in Alum is IN BURNS. well known but the irritative effects restricted its use. We, however, obviate this by our process and offer an ointment at once Astringent but Non-Irritant. More than this: UNG(JENTINE is Ancesthetic as is promptly manifest; is also Antiseptic and Constructive—shown in cases healed without suppuration oi scar. Physicians find the ideal dressing in Burns and conclude that it is in- dicated in all cases where there is external inflammation. A trial shows that its range of usefulness is surprisingly wide.

The busy and suc- cessful practitioner of today desires results rather than fine-spun theories or mere words. On this basis we meet him and present the record of UNGUEN- TINE as a thoroughly successful surgical dressing. We do not vaunt its claims; that is unnecessary. The record, here imperfectly given, is in the words of prominent physicians the country over, as they have written them for the benefit of their fellow practitioners. It is a story of works accomplished. There are many more just as interesting among the thousands of testimonials we have received. We can not give them all in the brief compass of this booklet; Unguentine has so many friends ready to speak the word of commendation. The test of time has demonstrated its manifold utility. It is constantly filling new wants; its range of usefulness steadily grows in the hands of the profession. The reason for this is that it possesses all the essentials of an ideal surgical dressing, viz: (a) it is antiseptic in effect, in substance and in its container; (£) it is permanent—not affected by climate, age or conditions; (c) is is non-irritating —slight astringency being a prime desideratum in healing, while irritation destroys the formation of tissue, and (d) it is constructive—stimulates cell growth, destroys the proliferation of bacteria and induces pink granulation. Why Unguentine so admirably fulfills these requirements is set forth in the fol- lowing pages; clinical evidence of what it has accomplished is also given. But this presentation is fragmentary; space forbids that we even touch upon many of its suc- cessful uses. Fuller reports may be found in our large book just issued under the title, “ A Century of Progress in Surgery.” This contains reports of more than three hundred actual cases of recent treatment, with a number of half-tone illustrations from photographs; and in addition is replete with original articles of scientific interest. By its arrangement and complete indexing it forms a model of convenience and ready reference. A copy of this book will be sent, postpaid, to any physician on request. Kindly examine the pages that follow. Time thus consumed will be well spent, for these are words written for physicians by brother practitioners of prominence. To our friends whose kindness in reporting results has made possible this presenta- tion, we hereby acknowledge our thanks. Norwich, New York. THE NORWICH PHARMACAL COMPANY. 2 ...PROGRESS IN SURGERY... IEDICINE and surgery have made more progress in the last twenty years than in the twenty centuries preceding,” was said by the late Dr. William Pepper, ' of Philadelphia. In surgery this progress has been due largely to antiseptic preparations and aseptic methods. In line with this steady advancement, the general practitioner as well as the surgeon has demanded a thoroughly antiseptic surgical dressing, put up in a germ-proof container, and applicable wherever inflammation is present. Unguentine has met and satisfied these requirements. Unguentlne contains Alum (non-irritating), 15 to 16 per cent., combined with 2 per cent, of Carbolic Acid, 5 per cent, of Ichthyol, with a pure Petrolatum base free from taste, odor or acidity. This ointment was originated a century ago by England’s famous surgeon, Sir Astley Cooper. His, however, was an age of crudeness in pharmaceutical products. Yet upon his foundation, which was lasting, our age has built an improved structure. He recognized the inestimable healing properties of alum, and sought to eliminate the irritative qualities which restricted its use. In this he was but partially success- ful. The result, however, was Cooper’s Alum Ointment, to the use of which he attributed much of his success. His original formula has been modified in accord with the principles of modern surgery. Petrolatum has been substituted for lard, 3 thus insuring permanence in all climes and under all conditions; Ichthyol and Lord Lister’s sheet-anchor, Carbolic Acid, added for their well-known antiseptic and cicatri- zant powers. Cooper’s central idea - non-irritating alum—has been retained and made perfect. The chemical action of Alum on exudant serum is well-known; it forms an im- pervious coating by coagulating the albumin, thereby, as it were, replacing the skin with a protective covering which excludes the air with its attendant micro-organisms. As has been well said, “ The triumphs of antiseptic surgery lie much more in the direction of keeping germs out of the system than of expelling them after they have effected a lodgment.” Our process—which has been called the “ Norwich Idea ”—whereby the astrin- gency of alum may be utilized without its irritating property, has made Unguentine a surgical dressing of marvelous healing power, universally applicable. On this unique feature and the excellent antiseptic and constructive properties of the combination of ingredients used, the reputation of Unguentine established itself. Its intrinsic worth was acknowledged—but more remained to be done to make it what it now is, the ideal surgical dressing. The more advanced authorities have become averse to jars and other receptacles which expose a large suriace of their contents to contamination and auto-infection whenever the lid or cover is left off or insecurely replaced. It is not enough that the dressing should be antiseptic in itself and its action; it must be so kept that it shall be proof against contamination or bacterial invasion. All these requirements are satisfied by 4 UNGUENTINE IN COLLAPSIBLE TUBES: a container which is thoroughly germ-proof; convenient to carry in the pocket or satchel without risk of soiling the surrounding articles; clean to handle and always ready for minor work; con- tents easily applied to skin or bandage without use of spatula or other instrument; the entire package uniform in price and inex- pensive. This new package has met with the approval of the pro- fession generally. The demand has rapidly grown, demonstrat- ing that the range of usefulness of Unguentine is widely extend- ed thereby. To physicians unfamiliar with Unguentine in collapsible tubes we will cheerfully send, postpaid, a sample tube large enough for a fair trial. This, we are confident, will demonstrate that Unguentine is indeed the ideal surgical dressing, and worthy of a permanent place in each physician’s armamentarium. Full directions for its use are given immediately after the clinical reports. Our products are stocked by all wholesalers and may be had of druggists generally or will be sent by us on receipt of price— given on last page of this booklet. 5 [Excerpt from paper presented in Section on Surgery and Anatomy, at the Forty-ninth Annual Meeting of the American Medical Association, held at Denver, Colo., June 7-10, 1898.] Time was when the scalpel alone was emblazoned on the escutcheon of the surgeon and with the skillful incision his responsibility ended, nor did the dignity of his office admit of his performing what were then held as the minor and menial offices of after treatment. * * * It remained for Sir Joseph Lister to break the spell of this otium cum dignitate which was the bane of all surgical pro- gress and to teach the autocrats of the scalpel that surgery meant much more to the organism tnan the mere solution of continuity along anatomical lines—that this indeed was the avant courier of the real principle from which the almost miraculous achievements of modern surgery have been evolved. * * * Of making of dressings as the patriarch said of books, “there is no end.” As in everything else the element of “faddism” or surgical “fashion” has been dominant even in this unesthetic field. For years past, for example, it has been almost as much as a surgeon’s name was worth to apply oleaginous preparations to surface lesions although the very first treatment of wounds of which we read recommends the “pouring of oil,” and in the case of the good Samaritan received the endorsement of the Great Physician himself. * * * But amid all this elaboration of apparatus it was to Sir Astley Cooper after all that the credit was due, for his foreseeing therapy leaping over, as it were, the dark chasm which separated the triumphs of his surgical genius from the science il- lumined land of modern surgical pathology. It was he who, without the knowledge of the bacter- iologic factor in the great problem of surgical treatment, by the intuition of genius, gave to us the essential principles of external dressing for surface lesions. His formula, however, was open to the objection of violating one of the conditions herein laid down—that of permanence— in that lard was used instead of petrolatum which has been since discovered and is now substituted in the preparation known as Unguentine. This is an ideal formula constructed along the lines of that suggested by Sir Astley Cooper, but altered to the conditions of modern aseptic surgery. The irritating effects of the ordinary alum have also in some way been obviated, furnishing thus a typical dressing for surface lesions. We are free to admit that for all external dressings we have found the highest fulfillment of modern aseptic or antiseptic surgery in the preparation just mentioned. * * * Thomas Osmond Summers, M.

A Few Selected From Many-Abridged and Condensed in Some Instances-But Always Presented in the Words of the Physician. “I And Unguentine a pleasant and efficient application in all kinds of abrasions, burns, ulcerating surfaces, etc. It is soothing, healing, and possesses sufficient antiseptic qualities tc render it a valuable aid to the surgeon in treating all such cases.” O. W. Baines, M. D., (Late Prof, of Surgery, Bennett Med. Col.,) Chicago, 111. “ In a case of abrasion on the penis, the glans was sore and excoriated, very red and tender and would bleed at the touch. Two applications of Unguentine made a wonderful change, and in a very short time it was well. I do not hesitate to say that I regard it as a superior preparation, having a wide range of application in skin diseases,” A. M. Collins, A. M., M .D., Shelbyville, 111. ‘•In the case of an abscess of the hand which had been very painful for two nights I applied Unguentine. It relieved the pain and cooled the fever in the hand and arm in a few hours.” Db. J. W. Mibes, Haynes, Ark. “I applied Unguentine to a case of gangrenous bedsores, one of them three inches in diameter. They healed kindly and in three weeks’ time there was but little scar formation. I have been converted to the fact that it is the best ointment made, if properly used, and will please the busy doctor.” P. H. Von Ziebolshofen, M. D., Croghan, N. Y. ABRASIONS. ABSCESS. BEDSORES. 7 BOILS. “ I have derived great benefit from Unguentine in the treatment of boils and carbuncles. It acts like a poultice. If pus is not yet formed, the boil may be aborted. If too late the purulent mass will readily come to a point, and a mere scratch of the knife will suffice to liberate the contents of the abscess.” Henry A. Richy, M. D., New York City. “ A young man had five large boils on spine. I applied Unguentine eight times and healed them without scar or blemish. Splendid!” Dr L. V. Harbaugh, Old Town, Md. “ A young man suffering from boils on his toes had let them run for over a week, and from wear- ing cheap black socks the sores had become poisoned and developed septicemia. I administered the usual internal remedies and applied a local dressing of Unguentine. The patient slept well all that night, being the first rest obtained for five nights. He informed me that the pain, which before had been so excessive as to prevent rest, had ceased within an hour from the time Unguentine was applied. Unguentine was the only dressing used on the sores and inside of a week the patient was able to be around the house. But for Unguentine all the internal treatment would have been useless. I know of no other dressing that can equal it.” Dr. E. J. Q. Waddington, Detroit, Mich. (SEE FOOT NOTE.) “I wish to tell you what remarkable work Unguentine did for me in a case just dismissed. Eight weeks ago a young girl, daughter of one of our prom- inent men in this city, was playing with matches. Her dress caught fire and she was fearfully burned, the extent of the burn being from the ninth rib to the axilla and from the axilla to the elbow. I kept Unguentine on as a dressing, and the result was a speedy cure without a scar to show of the great area of burnt skin and flesh. It has created quite a talk among the physicians here as it over- throws our theory of cellular growth. These unusual results obtained by Unguentine are contrary to our teaching that no integument can be destroyed by any means and re-formed without a scar tissue.” John R. Baer, M. D., (Chief Surgeon Phila. Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Dispensary) Philadelphia, Pa. * BURNS. * Special attention is called to these reports on burns. Authors of modern surgery state that ex- tensive burns and lacerations always leave eschar tissue. We have hundreds of testimonials which prove that Unguentine heals such injuries without the slightest disfiguration. 8 “ Unguentine, prepared by The Norwich Pharmacal Company, is a soothing and anti- septic dressing.”—From Park's Surgery, ml. I, page 484, Chapter on Burns. “Over forty victims of the North German Lloyd Are, June 30, 1900, were brought to this hospital, suffering from bums of all degrees. Everything possible was done to relieve their sufferings, Un- guentine being applied to all bums. “The slight cases quickly recovered. In the extensive ones also we were relieved to note that Unguentine did its work quickly, facilitating the removal of slough, stimulating granulation and pro- moting the formation of skin. “We could ask for no better results than those obtained through the use of Unguentine.” John J. McAedle, M. D., House Surgeon St. Mary’s Hospital, Hoboken, N. J. “ A young lady had on a yarn glove which became saturated with gasoline. In striking a match this became ignited and almost burned off her hand before she could extract it from the glove. Both layers of the skin came off to the flesh. I treated it with Unguentine spread next to the flesh and gauze or cotton over this. Results very satisfactory. It healed without leaving scar or produc- ing stiffness.” W. F. Allen, M. D., Galena, Kans. In the Medical World, January, 1900, is reported a severe and unusual bum of hand resulting from a somewhat similar accident Summing up, the writer says: “ After the first dressing I used balsam of Peru and carbolated castor oil three times, since then have used nothing but Unguentine; and 1 attribute the smooth surface and freedom from scars to it and the skin transplantation.” J. A. Meldau, M. D., McCormick, S. C. “ A railroad man, badly burnt and suffering much pain, called at my office. I cleansed the wound and applied Unguentine, which soon relieved the pain. I prescribed Unguentine three ounces at a time and now he is perfectly well with but a small scar.” John S. Massy, M. D., Monroe, N. C. BURNS. 9 “ An accidental explosion of giant powder hurled Mr. Q. W. B. over an embankment; his clothes took fire and in his efforts to tear them off he sustained severe burns on the fore- arms, hands, the entire face (except a small strip on the forehead protected by the hat), the ears, front of neck, the front half of right leg from above the knee down to the foot, a deep place on the left leg over the region of Hunter’s canal, and a place over the region of the right lung, covering the first five degrees as above described. With two strong men to hold the raving man, i proceeded to cut away the skin that had fallen down over his arms and hands to his fingers, which had something of the aspect of a rabbit with the skin removed from the body and hanging down over the legs. Tbe skin was dry and hard like the skin taken from an animal and exposed for some time to the scorching rays of a summer’s sun. The wounds were cleansed around with water carbolized, and dressed with Unguentine spread on strips of new domestic, from two to three inches wide, well warmed before applied, a layer of surgical cotton spread over this and held in place by roller bandages. This was repeated daily. None of the ordinary washes were used on the burnt surface until the skin had com- pletely formed. * * * Recovery was complete. No scar is left on the face or hands; a new soft growth of beard has appeared, and the small hairs usually seen on a man’s hands have returned.” “ Another case was among the twelve boys who were burned while escaping from the burning building of the boys' house of Buckner Orphans Home, which was burned down January 15, 1897. Richard Z., aged 12, was burned to the third degree on face, neck, hands, forearm and a space about six inches square over the lumbar region. He inhaled the flame, which was the source of considerable trouble. Face and head became so badly swollen that he could not see for four or five days. Delir- ium set in on the third day and was a troublesome feature for about five days. Respiration labored; could only speak in whispers. The stench of the breath with that from putrefaction of skin, etc., augmented by the fever, was unbearable. Aided by Dr. Baldwin, this case was pushed to a speedy recovery. With sponges tied over mouth and nose and a large display of disinfectants, we daily dressed this patient, and against the decision of three doctors that the patient would die inevitably, after a heroic fight his life was saved, and he is now well and has returned to school. In this case, as the others, the main remedy was Unguentine.” [Excerpts from paper read before the Dallas Med. and Sur. Assn, by A. F. Beddoe, M. D., Physician to the Buckner Orphans’ Home, Dallas, Texas. BURNS. 10 “The first ease was a severe burn of the hand, extremely painful, yet immediately after applying Unguentine the patient remarked that all pain had ceased. The second case being of a milder term required only three dressings for a complete cure. I have frequently used it since in scalds and burns and think it is the remedy par-excellence.” Byeon A. Bobb, M. D., (Sup’t. Davison Co. Board of Health,) Mitchell, S. Dak. “ Lady, weight 180 pounds, burned from the hips to top of shoulders, 22 inches long and 18 inches wide. Left arm to elbow was burned from a half inch to one inch and three-quarters deep. I dressed with Unguentine from start to finish. I had no suppuration, no odor or pus. It healed right up without any cicatrizing. No scars left. I have used it a long time and there is nothing under the canopy of heaven that will equal it in a burn.” R. S. Me Cray, M. D., Morristown, Ind. “ In two very severe cases of burns, one of them being so extensive as to require treatment for three months, I found Unguentine to be most valuable of all dressings. I occasionally change this for carron oil, but only for a change, as I found Unguentine more soothing and as a rule it has dimin- ished pain, lessened suppuration and promoted more rapid healing than the former. I shall continue to use Unguentine in my practice and recommend it in my teaching.” R. N. Foster, M. D., Prof, of Obstetrics, Chicago Homeopathic Medical College. “ A boy had fallen into a bonfire and his arms and breast were badly burned and extremely dirty, as dirt had been used to extinguish the flame. After cleansing the wounds with a solution of per- manganate of potassium 1 selected the right arm as it was burned the worst to use Unguentine as a dressing. The left arm and breast I dressed as usual. The right arm healed by first intention leaving a soft clean scar. The left arm and breast suppurated in four places and were very foul whenever dressed, and now, nearly four months after the accident, are still tender, leaving a deep scar at the point of suppuration. I think it was a good test in favor of Unguentine.” Wm. Grant, M. D., 1925 Payson St., Baltimore, Md. BURNS. 11 BURNS. ‘‘I was the first to prescribe Unguentine in this city five years ago, and have used from six to twelve pounds every year since in an extensive smelter and railroad practice. It is the 'neplus ultra’ for burns of first and second degree.” W. L. Dobland, M. D., Pueblo, Colo., (Surgeon A., T. & Santa Fe Ry. Co. and Pueblo Smelting and Refining Co.) “I have found Unguentine very efficient, especially in burns of all degrees.” Classen Mowby, M. D., 24 Greene St., Providence, R. I. “On April 26, 1899,1 was called to attend Mr. C. wj., an employee of the General Electric Co., who had been frightfully burned by an electric spark of 12,000 volts. The posterior surface of the entire arm was burned from the finger tips to the shoulder, also portions of the anterior surface. “ On the outer aspect of the arm was a blackened area about 8 inches long by 214 wide, burned deep down into the muscles. The first dressing employed was carron oil covered by a generous layer of absorbent cotton. I later proposed to Mr. Q. that we test the merits of wet and dry dress- ings by treating at the same time different portions of the arm with the two classes of dressings. The burn had not progressed favorably under carron oil, so a change was made from this dressing to Unguentine, which was selected because of its astringent and antiseptic qualities. One-half of the burned area was treated with this ointment, while the other half was at the same time treated with dry powders, such as oxide of zinc, iodoform, dermatol, and some others. Some of the powders em- ployed caused so much pain that they were not used the second time. * * * Both wet and dry dressings were tried in unison, but cicatrization being more rapid and thorough under Unguentine, and its application affording more comfort to the patient, the powders were dispensed with and the ointment alone used. Under this treatment the remainder of the burn healed rapidly.” F. A. Palmeb, M. D., (Surgeon for the Fitchburg and the D. & H. R. R. Company), Mechanicsville, N. Y., in International Journal of Surgery, July, 1900. 12 “I used Unguentine in the case of a lady who badly burned one hand and arm, the injury extending above the elbow. I saw the case three days after the wounds had been ignor- antly dressed and the entire superficial area of the hand and arm was one foul-smelling aggregation of discrete and concrete ulcers, foetid in the extreme and beginning to slough. After careful wash- ing with warm water, Unguentine was applied on sections of linen, each section about six inches long and two Inches wide. This operation was repeated every third day and in twelve days the arm was well without a slough, without scar tissue, without contraction and presenting a new pink skin that I regarded as a surgical triumph.” H. Enton, M. D., 345 Clinton St., Brooklyn, N. Y. “ I have used Unguentine for a number of years and have not in any case been disappointed During my studentship at the Leonard Med. College, Raleigh, N. C., I saw Dr. A. W. Knox use it suc- cessfully on one of the most extensive burns I have ever seen on a child of four years. Since then I have been its friend.” Wm. E. Atkins, M. D., Hampton, Va. “Unguentine has proved most satisfactory. I think it especially efficient in extensive burns and I shall avail myself of its beneficial qualities as often as its use may be indicated.” Prof. A. Q. Thomas, M D., Pres, of Faculty, Eclectic Med. College of Georgia. Atlanta, Ga. “ Little girl 12 years of age, burnt fearfully—both buttocks and whole back up to shoulders and out on both arms, one-third way to elbow. Case had been treated for three months when it came into my hands. Proud flesh all over, fully one-fourth inch high. In connection with remedies I used your Unguentine and the results were more than could be anticipated, viz: a perfect healing and practi- cally without a scar in four weeks. It was considered a marvel by all who knew of it.” J. A. Hkmsteger, M. D., 255 Oakwood Blvd., Chicago, 111. “In my experience Unguentine absolutely stays suppuration in superficial burns and scalds in the first degree. It heals with astonishing rapidity and in burns with much active inflammation will avert a bad sore, if applied three times a day.” Dr. C. O. Buck, Lexington, Miss. BURNS. 13 BURNS. “ An emergency case of severe and extensive burn from falling in hot ash pit, half of right leg including buttocks and one-third of left leg. Immediately on my arrival I dressed the wound with Unguentine. Relief came quickly after the dressing. In twodays the boy was doing very well and in a week’s time was playing as if nothing had happened.” Dr. Edward Howard, Denver, Colo. 11 Burn on hand so deep that skin sloughed off, leaving a raw surface. Unguentine was applied, which not only filled up and healed the burn, but also enabled a perfect skin to form, so that it is now impossible to tell which hand was burned.” J. K. Buckltn, M. D., Mystic, Conn. “Ellen J., aged 21, whose clothing caught fire and body was burned extensively to the second degree, was under my care in our hospital for a month during which time no dressing but Unguentine was used, and in no time in the history of the case did the temperature exceed 100 degrees, and reached that point for only a few days. We use Unguentine for a large number of cases in our hospital work and it gives entire satisfaction.” H. G. V. de Hart, Attending Physician White Plains Hospital, White Plains, N. Y. “Unguentine has uniformly proved Its superiority as a dressing particularly in serious burns and scalds. The relief obtained has been almost instantaneous, pain being allayed, blisters reduced to a minimum and the injured tissues rendered antiseptic and healthy in appearance.” Dr. R. P. C. Browne, 176 Broad, Providence, R. L “Boy, 15; face burned to complete crisp, with miraculous escape of eyes, by four ounces of powder becoming accidentally ignited. I applied Unguentine and kept him thoroughly greased with same. Complete recovery within five days without vestige of a scar.” H. Schoenfield, M. D., Trenton, Ohio. 14 “ In a case of carbuncle that threatened to destroy a large amount of tissue on back of neck and surrounding parts I applied Unguentine as a plaster or poul- tice twice daily. The first application greatly relieved the pain. At the end of ten days a full cure of this dangerous and troublesome enlargement had been effected.” Dr. G. E. Matthews, Ringwood, N. C. “I have just had the most pleasant experience with Unguentine in the treatment of a bad car- buncle. I shall use it frequently.” J. S. Worm, M. D., Alma, S. C. “For sore nose, nasal catarrh, etc., I have used Unguentine for the past three years, and have yet to see the case not cured within a reasonable length of time. In cases where dry scabs or scales form in the nose, I order a tube of Unguentine, make a mop with a small roll of absorbent cotton on the end of a small stick, roll the mop in the Un- guentine and apply well up both nostrils, at the same time have patient to snuff the nose until the Unguentine can be plainly tasted. Use only once a day, just before retiring for the night. This generally cures within three weeks.”—Dr. T. Pickles, Anna, 111., writing to theeditorof The Medical Summary. “I have tried Unguentine in cases of chafing in persons ot a fleshy nature, and it has given them more comfort than anything else I ever tried. Such cases are extreme- ly aggravating and very difficult to heal with ordinary remedies, yet the success of Unguentine is both surprising and pleasing to the patient and myself.” R. C. Smith, M. D., Gatesville, N. C. “I have used Unguentine in my own case—‘chafing'—and find it excellent.” E. P. French, M. D.. Montesano, Wash. * Rbinalum Wafers have been devised by us for this specific local treatment as a more convenient and elegant form of applying these successful remedies. They are described in the appendix under “ Adjuncts of Unguentine,” to which the reader is referred. CARBUNCLES. (Nasal) CATARRH.* CHAFING. 15 CHILBLAINS. “I used Unguentine on a patient who had chilblains of the heel, so bad that the skin was broken and in an ulcerated condition and terribly inflamed. In all my ex- perience with chilblains I have never had an application act so favorably and promptly. Unguentine far exceeded my expectations, effecting a cure in few days.” Geo. Nichols, M. D., Brooklyn, N. Y. “I have tried Unguentine in a case of coryza with great benefit by snuffing it into the nostrils. Used it in several bad cases of sore nose which it cured at short notice. It is by far the best thing in the ointment line I have ever tried.” Dr. M. J. Alexander, Tunica, Miss. “ In August a young athlete spent two or three days consecutively in playing golf in the broiling sun, his arms exposed to the shoulders, with the result that he suf- fered from the most severe dermatitis from sun heat I ever saw. His skin was fairly cooked from the wrists to the upper third of the arm, enormously swollen, insensely painful: well marked constitutional symptoms, as alternate chills and fever, coated tongue, loss of appetite, intense head- ache and general prostration developed. For two days he had to go to bed. General dermatitis and a moderate degree of cellulitis characterized the condition. Various local applications had been tried, as witch hazel, acetate of lead, carbolized vaseline, etc., with but little relief. Later the arms were freely anointed with Unguentine and wrapped in roller bandages thoroughly impregnated with the ointment, the result being quick relief and subsidence of the inflammation and consequent pain- ful distention and stiffness. For this and similar inflammations, as from poisoning, superficial erysip- elas, first and second degree burns, insect stings, etc., this salve may be depended upon as a useful adjuvant to internal remedies.” Dr. Charles E. Fisher, Chicago, 111., Editor Medical Century. *CORYZA. DERAVAT1TIS. * See also Rhinalum Wafers in appendix. 16 “ A young man was examined with the X-rays for the purpose of locating a bullet, his unprotected abdomen exposed to the tube forty minutes at a distance of five inches. There resulted a dermal inflammation covering the entire abdomen, not ex- tending beyond the true skin. The appearance of the burn resembled cooked flesh. I saw the patient several weeks after the exposure and some days after treatment had been practiced. He was not doing well, and I therefore advised that Unguentine should be used in the same way as in in- flamed eczema. The irritation ceased at once and the inflammation rapidly subsided. The patient made an uneventful recovery.” Heber Roberts, M. D., Editor X-Ray Journal, St. Louis, Mo. I have used Unguentine as a local application on several cases of long standing eczema with splendid results.” W. H. Saylor, M.

I have prescribed it since in several instances with most satisfactory results ” R. E Wine, M. D., Forestville, Va. “I used Unguentine in an obstinate case of eczema of the scrotum with very satisfactory results. I saw the patient to-day and he told me with much warmth that I cured him after all the others had failed. This is due to Unguentine.” Wm. B. Harrison, M D., Columbia. Tenn. “I have just discharged a case of scrotal eczema that yielded to the use of Unguentine after all the usual remedies had failed. I consider it a line preparation.” W. T. Street, M.

Immediately after the bursting of the first bleb a thick coating of Unguentine was applied to the inflamed surface of her cheek and covered with a cotton-wool batting pad. This procedure was carried out twice each day. Within a very few moments after applying the ointment a then, filmy covering appeared over the surface of the recently bursted blebs, which protected it from the atmosphere and from bacteric invasion. There was no further extension of the disease; the inflammatory process was confined to the original area of the lesion, namely—the left side of the face—rapidly becoming healthy in ap- pearance, and subsiding short of seven days.” Edward B. Jackson, M. D., San Antonio, Texas. “ A case of facial erysipelas, treated with Unguentine, yielded very readily. 1 find it also a fine application for chapped hands.” W. F. Cooper, M. D., Drummonds, Tenn. “Unguentine has been used in a number of cases of scarlet fever. It seems to allay the intense itching and aids desquamation. I cheerfully recommend it.” Louis Fisher, M. D., (Instructor in Diseases of Children, N.Y. Post Graduate School and Hospital), New York City. “I used Unguentine on the worst case of anal Assure with pruritis that it has ever been my misfortune to see in twenty years' practice.

A piece the size of a pea, applied to each nostril four times daily will relieve the itching of the nose, prevent the sneezing and lessen the nasal secretions. I have had hay fever myself for 18 years and used Unguentine on myself before prescribing it for my patients—in every case it gave relief.” E. H. Johnson, M. D., (Prof. Barnes Med. Coll.)

To overcome this condition I direct my patients to massage the nipple with Unguentine. gently pulling it out ten to fifteen times at each sitting. Incidentally I may say this preparation has given me the most gratifying results in the management of fissures during the puerperium.”— [Abstract of lecture given at the N. Y.

I first washed the ear with tepid water and then introduced as far in the ear as practical a small cone of raw cotton, well anointed with Unguentine, letting it stay for four or five hours, re- moving and repeating the same process again with a fresh cone. Keeping this treatment up for thirteen days I dismissed the case as cured and at the end of that time the patient’s hearing was greatly improved.” Wesley W. Tucker, M. D., Casey, Tenn. “ * * Few persons have suffered as severely as myself from ivy poison- ing; now I have no fear of it, thanks to Unguentine.

D., Long Prairie, Minn., in Medical Brief, Dec., 1900. •‘In the most violent case of rhus poisoning I ever saw, I dressed the poisoned skin with Unguen- tine en small strips of lint.

I first applied ice water to the parts, afterwards anointing them freely with Unguentine which seemed to give relief at once. After continual treatment only cold water was used as I found Unguentine possessed a remarkable power for reducing inflammation, doing away with the application of ice. I think it is the best ointment on earth .” Dr. J. H. Holman, 109 Maple St.. Nashville, Tenn. “I want to ask you to lay special stress upon the value of Unguentine in pruritis ani. I personally have been tortured with this complaint for seven or eight years, and never have found anything to act only as a palliative until I used your preparation, which has absolutely cured me and now my faith in it is such that I prescribe it for anything in which there is inflammation or where it is indicated.” A. J. Baker Flint, M. D., 102 Huntington Ave., Back Bay, Boston. “ In several cases of pruritis ani I have used Ungueuentine with decidedly beneficial results. In allaying that intense itching it has.proven especially useful.” R. B. Gilbert, M. D., Prof. Diseases of Children and Dem. of Anatomy, Univ. of Louisville, Ky. “I tried Unguentine on a gentleman who had a severe case of pruritis ani of 10 years’standing.

PRL'RITIS ANI. 24 “ Two weeks ago I was asked to prescribe for a distressing case of pruritis vulvse. The condition had existed about two years. A solution of morphine in camphor water had been applied locally until the patient had become addicted to ‘ the habit.’ I prescribed Unguentine, to be applied night and morning, after thoroughly cleansing the parts with pure castile soap and water. The effect was simply magical; the itching ceased, the swelling has subsided and the lady says she ‘ feels like a new woman.'

D., Montgomery, Ala. “I have given it a thorough trial in a case of extensive burn, caused by the explosion of a. railroad locomotive by which the engineer was scalded. He came under my care on the third day after the accident, having been oared for the first three days where the accident happened. He presented anappearance such as is rarely seen and was racked with pain. IusedUn- guentine freely and morphia only for the first few hours.

D., Calvert, Texas. “ A little girl was scalded over one-third of the entire person, ranging in severity from the fiisi to the third degree. Both parents and myself thought the child could not recover. Nothing but Un- guentine was used, under which treatment rapid progress was made, and after the first application Unguentine soothed the pain and it rapidly healed and a full recovery was the result. Your prepara- tion is the finest I have ever used.” W. A. Lomison, M. D., Mt. Carmel, Pa. SCALDS. 26 “We have found it particularly useful in eczematous and other irritating troubles in the skin, its actions are soothing and still stimulative and alterative. It is thoroughly antiseptic and in a large number of cases heals rapidly. This is attributed to the re- markable absorption properties of Unguentine.'’ Drs. Eddy & Mudge, Olean, N.

Parsons, N. Mex. I made quite a hit some years ago curing chronic sores. I did it mostly with Unguen- tine. A physician told a lady that her daughter’s leg would have to be amputated, as the sores could not be cured. I put her on potassium iodide, hydrarg. bichlor and compound syrup of sarsaparilla, and used Unguentine on sores. In six weeks the sores healed over and got well.” S. S. Turner, M. D., Ellisville, Miss., in Medical Summary, June, 1900. “I had a tumor on the back of my left hand, situated directly on a vein. It had been there for possibly twenty years. Recently it began to enlarge until it became quite an- noying, so much so that I could not wear gloves and when my hands were hanging down there was a very painful throbbing. I did all I could think of and about concluded to go to St. Louis and consult a specialist or dermatologist. I began, however, using Unguentine at bed time,(not regularly either) and in a month the tumor had disappeared, leaving the skin as smooth as it ever was.” C. C. Cooper, M. D., Holla, Mo. SKIN DISEASES. SMALL POX. SORES. ULCERS. 27 ULCERS. ■‘A morphine victim and cocaine fiend recently came into the Hyde Park Sanitarium with his arms and shoulders so covered with open ulcers that from the wrist to the neck there was not a particle of skin showing white. The ulcers were excavated, about a quarter of an inch in depth and discharging freely. The arms were cleaned and Unguentine applied liberally. The ulcers healed rapidly, filling up from the bottom with exuberant granulations that soon projected above the surface. The pain was soon relieved, and even when the cocaine was withdrawn the customary hyperesthesia only showed itself in the form of itching. There was surprisingly little scarring considering the hundreds of deep ulcers crowed so closely together. The rapidity with which these healed was noteworthy, not one being open in six weeks from beginning of treatment.” W. F. Waugh, M. D., Chicago, in Alkaloidal Clinic. “I have been using Unguentine largely in indolent ulcers and have been much pleased with it.” John Pabmenteb. M. D., (Prof, of Surgery, U. of B). Buffalo. N.

D., Woodstock, Ky. “I used Unguentine with excellent results in a case of erythema in a dog. Finding it acted so well I now keep it in mv office to use on eczematous conditions of animals that are brought to me for treatment, and in all cases with very good results. I think it is a good veterinary ointment.” Rudolph B. Plagman, D. V. S., Surgeon Winsor Stable, Brooklyn, N. Y. “ I have used Unguentine in quantity and found it very useful; also, I may say, it is excellent where horses get their hocks cut with the ice or sharp shoes. In country work this last is handy to know and easily applied. A tube of Unguentine saves lots of stiffness and soreness.” V. A. Latham, M. D., Rogers Park, Chicago. *• A gentleman fell from his bicycle and a heavy wagon ran over his foot crushing all the toes very badly. Two of them were mashed almost to a pulp. After cleansing them I applied Unguentine copiously. The first day there was but little swelling and redness, and the same dressing was renewed once or twice daily until the ninth, when the patient was dismissed well enough to be out again. I have never seen so serious a wound healed so promptly and beauti- fully under any other treatment.” S. E. Hale, M. D., 1236 Napoleon Ave., New Orleans, La. VENEREAL DISEASES. VtTERINARY PRACTICE.

No other dressing was used and the wound healed rapidly with scarcely a soar.” James Flickner, M. D., Gans, Ind Ter. “ I have used Unguentine with entire satisfaction in dressing wounds. I find it marks a true ad- vance in materia medica as it protects the exposed surfaces from the atmosphere in some peculiar way and is free from the stickiness so objectionable in a large numberof the old wet dressings, while its absorptive properties are all that could be desired. I find upon removing the old dressings that the lesion presents good healthy granulations, showing thoroughly its antiseptic properties.” J. Harvey Bates, M. D., Physician to Chicago Clinic. “ A badly lacerated wound on the back of the right hand, exposing most of the ligaments, refused to heal with the usual surgical dressings. Having seen Unguentine advertised I bought a small quantity, and after the first application I saw a decided improvement. The whole wound healed without any contraction and with a very small scar for so large a laceration. It is without doubt the best surgical dressing yet introduced to the medical profession.” Db. Philip Henriques, Providence, R. I. “ Unguentine is giving very satisfactory results in a case of X-ray burn.

At the time it seems the little fellow carefully noted where the remedy was kept, for to-day upon burning his hand on the parlor stove he came shrieking into the dining room holding out a smarting finger, and toddled directly to the particular cupboard where the Unguentine box was kept, crying, ‘Burn, mamma! Burn!’ As soon as the box was produced he manifested the most extreme satisfaction while the ointment was being applied, and returned to his play, smiling through his tears.

The foregoing Clinic Reports show Unguentine’s usefulness; the specialist and general practitioner constantly find new uses for it. SURGEONS find it valuable in the treatment of Burns, Scalds, Abrasions, Suppurating Tumors, Boils, Felons, Ulcers, Bedsores and as a dressing after Operations OBSTETRICIANS And it unequaled in the treatment of the Inflammatory Diseases of the Breast and Nipples, Sore and Cracked Nipples, Fissures, Puerperal Mastitis and Abscesses, Varicose Ulcers, Erythema. Etc. GYNECOLOGISTS use it with pronounced successin the treatment of Inflammatory Diseases of the Vagina and Neck of the Cervix, Laceration of the Vagina, Vaginitis, Pruritis Vulvas, Etc. DERMATOLOGISTS find it a soothing and efficacious remedy in the treatment of Inflammatory Cutaneous Diseases. It has been used with success in all forms of Inflammatory Eczema, Indolent and Varicose Ulcers, Erysipelas, Erythema, Ringworm, Etc. RHINOLOGISTS and OTOLOGISTS find it a specific for the treatment of Excoriated Nostrils, in simple and diffuse Suppuration of the External Auditory Canal, and an excellent application to the nose after the removal of spurs of the septum or anterior hypertrophies. GENERAL PRACTITIONERS find Unguentine useful not only in the foregoing diseases, but a convenient preparation for office work. Asa poultice it is superior to flaxseed, and in Smallpox it will not only allay the irritation caused by the eruption, but will heal the pustules without leaving any disfiguration. In the stings of insects and poisoning from ivy it is highly recommended. 38 Directions for Applying Unguentine First cleanse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pure soap and then dry the part. Spread the ointment thickly on cotton, linen cloth or lintine, of sufficient size to cover the diseased surface and fasten the whole securely with a bandage of adhesive plaster. IN BURNS AND SCALDS—The dressing should be changed every twenty minutes for the first few hours after the accident, or as soon as the cooling effect of the application has passed away. The more serious the condition the more frequent should be the change. Follow these directions faithfully and in nine cases out of ten the wound will heal without a scar or disfiguration. ON EXCORIATED SURFACES, eczema, cuts and other flesh wounds, bunions, boils and felons the application should be made at least three times a day. In ulcers and in the majority of chronic affections, changing the bandage twice a day will usually suffice. IN INFLAMMATORY CONDITIONS OF THE UTERUS AND VAGINA, fresh applications should be made daily. Absorbent cotton should not be used; lintine or non-absorbent cotton is pre- ferable. If dilution is deemed necessary, use vaseline or any of the petrolatum products. AFTER SURGICAL OPERATIONS the surgeon must be governed by the character of the oper- ation as to the frequency with which the dressing should be changed. We only suggest that the more frequently a new application is made the greater the possibility of the wound healing without any disfiguration. Cases are numerous in which no scar tissue has formed. FOR PILES—After each stool and before retiring, the parts should be cleansed and Unguentine applied to a lintine or cotton cone and inserted. 39 IN DIFFUSE SUPPURATION OF THE EXTERNAL EAR—Wind lintine or cotton in the form of a cone, the base of which should not be more than 3-16 of an inch in diameter; thoroughly saturate with the ointment and introduce into the external auditory canal. A fresh cone should be inserted every hour. If directions are carefully followed. Unguentine acts as a specific. FOR NASAL CATARRH—Make a small mop of absorbent cotton on the end of a small stick; saturate this with the ointment and apply well up each nostril, at the same time having the patient snuff the nose until the Unguentine can be plainly tasted. Use in thismanner once a day, just before retiring for the night. AS AN ADJUVANT IN POULTICING—Flaxseed poultices, though exceedingly valuable at times, are greatly restricted in their use by the fact that the paste, through rapid cooling, becomes hard and dry on the surface, thus necessitating frequent changes and in some cases considerable friction to remove the adhering particles. By the addition of about 25 per cent, of Unguentine to the warm paste, just before spreading, all the disagreeable features of a flaxseed poultice are im- mediately removed and in addition it is rendered thoroughly antiseptic and 50 per cent, more effec- tive in its heat retaining, soothing, healjng and antiphlogistic properties. It greatly conduces to the comfort and convenience of the patient from the fact that the poultice may be left on several hours at a time and in many cases over night if desired. Unguentine is endorsed and prescribed by the leading physicians and surgeons of the United States and Canada and has been adopted by the large hospitals throughout the country. We invite the most critical comparison of Unguentine with the dressings you have been using. 40 ADJUNCTS OF UNGUENTINE The active astringent and healing agents ot UNGUENTINE, combined with a ditferent base, for spedfiG local treatment. The connecting link between these is Alum, rendered perfectly non- irritating by our exclusive process. Still, it’s not all Alum; each formula represents just the combination best suited to each specific treatment. Try the Adjuncts as you have UNGUENTINE. ••Norwich” VAGINAL PESSARIES. FORMULA—Alum (non-irritating) with Carbolic Acid and Ichthyol added, and a Glycero-Gelatin base. Astringent, Antiseptic, Antiphlogistic, Analgesic. By reason of their distinctive shape they are well retained in the upper part of the vagina. the folds are distended, the medication comes in direct contact with every part, especially the cervix and broad ligaments; the great desiderata—osmosis, local depletion, pain relief, asepsis, antiseptic action and toning of the blood vessels—are accomplished in a highly satisfactory manner in uterine and pelvic diseases. Owing to the complete elimination of the irritating properties of Alum, these Pessaries will be found especially valuable in Leucorrhoea, Gonorrhoea, Vaginitis, Ulcerations and Erosions of the Os Uteri, Pruritis Vulvas and as a general antiseptic, astringent or alterative remedy. In Prolapsus 41 ADJUNCTS OF UNGUENTINE. Uteri, the atrophied uterus and relaxed vagina yield readily to the decided astringent properties of the “Norwich ’ Pessaries, thereby rendering unnecessary any contemplated shortening of the round ligaments. After birth or abortion they are invaluable for their deodorant and astringent qualities. “I used the Vaginal Pessaries in a case of difficult labor attended by a midwife in which the perineum had been badly torn. I was called in after delivery on that account. After repairing the rent in the perineum under aseptic precautions, I inserted one of the Pessaries, retaining it by a tampon. The relief of pain was immediate and remarkable; while a repetition of the remedy from time to time greatly assisted by virtue of their astringency, in restoring the tone to the parts and preventing prolapsus. The Haemorrhoid Cones are equally satisfactory and I consider that you have given to the profession a real boon in these combinations of non-irritating alum. They are the only compounds of alum I have ever found which are really non-irritating.” J. W. Walker, M. D., Los Gatos, Cal. “I find the Alum Compound Pessaries very satisfactory.” J. T. McKibbon, M.

A Rational Treatment for Gonorrhoea, Gleet and Prostatic Diseases. FORMULA—Corrosive Sublimate, 1-200 gr.; Morphia, 1-12 gr.; Zinc Sulpho Carb., 1-16 gr.; Alum (non-irri- tating), 1-8 gr.; Powdered Golden Seal, 1*16 gr.; Pro* targol, 1*10 gr.; Cacao Butter, q. a. These are delicate bougies, 4)4 inches long, and are inserted into the urethra and retained until dissolved. They are not thick enough to cause pain or discomfort when introduced; dissolve quite freely at body temperature, bringing the medication in direct contact with the parts affected, with*- out danger of stricture or other injury, or soiling the clothing. Melting slowly at the temperature of the body the medicament is mostly absorbed, dilation is continuous for several hours, the mucous membrane becomes thoroughly aseptic and the non-irritating Alum exerts its characteristic astrin* gent properties under the most favorable circumstances. Since every portion of the urethral tract is safely and effectively reached no germs escape to keep up the gonorrhoeal fire. The results are quickly obtained and complications and sequel® are not seen when the cases are treated reasonably early. The superior efficacy of this method recommends it also in chronic cases; and in gleet, stricture and prostatitis physicians report remarkable results. 45 ADJUNCTS OF UNGUENTINE. “ I have prescribed Norwich Urethral Crayons.
