for the cure of ague. From observing its action in
the cure of this and other miasmatic diseases, and knowing its
composition, we are thoroughly satisfied that it contains chemical
properties which neutralize and destroy the miasmatic or ague poison
which is in the system, and, at the same time, produces a rapid
excretion of the neutralized poisons. One strong proof of this is found
in the fact that persons who are cured with it are not so liable to
relapse as those in whom the chills are broken with Quinine or other
agents. No bad effects are experienced after an attack of ague which has
been cured with the "Golden Medical Discovery." This cannot be said of
Quinine, Peruvian Bark, Arsenic, and Mercurials, which comprise nearly
the whole list of remedies usually resorted to by physicians for
arresting ague. The "Golden Medical Discovery" not only has the merit of
being a certain antidote for miasmatic diseases, but is pleasant to the
taste, a matter of no small importance, especially when administered to
children. To break the chills, this medicine should be taken in doses of
four teaspoonfuls three times a day, and if this treatment pursued for
three days, does not entirely arrest the chills, these doses may be
repeated in alternation with five-grain doses of quinine for the three
succeeding days. But in no case should more than this amount of the
"Golden Medical Discovery" be given.

ANTISEPTICS AND DISINFECTANTS.

Antiseptics prevent, while disinfectants arrest putrefaction. Oxygen is
a natural disinfectant, but a powerful inciter of change. Although this
element is the cause of animal and vegetable decay, yet oxidation is the
grand process by which the earth, air, and sea are purified. A few
substances are both antiseptic and disinfectant. Heat up to a
temperature of 140 deg. Fahr. promotes putrescence, but above that point, is
a drier or disorganizer, and destroys the source of infection.

YEAST (_Cerevisiae Fermentum_). Yeast is an antiseptic, and is effective
in all diseases in which there is threatened putridity. Used externally,
it is often combined with elm bark and charcoal, and applied to ulcers,
in which there is a tendency to gangrene. _Dose_--One tablespoonful in
wine or porter, once in two or three hours.

CREASOTE. This is a powerful antiseptic. It is used in a solution of
glycerine, oil, water, or syrup. _Dose_--One to two drops, largely
diluted.

CARBOLIC ACID is a crystalline substance resem
