Every doctor and dentist in the United States should know about this new preparation for the local treatment of pyorrhea alveolaris. Boremetine is a 1-2 per cent solution of emetine hydrochloride, together with boric acid, zinc sulphocarbolate, and aromatics.
The emetine is amebicidal, the boric acid bactericidal, and the zinc sulphocarbolate astringent. These three drugs meet the three essential factors necessary for the successful treatment of pyorrhea. Boremetine should be used in every case, either alone, or (in some severe cases) in association with the subcutaneous injection of Emetine Hydrochloride (Abbott).
A special free booklet on “Pyorrhea Alveolaris: How to treat it successfully with Emetine” will be sent on request. Send for it today. The Abbott Alkaloidal Company, Chicago.
The State of Wisconsin has an enviable reputation for not a few things in which it excels all the other western or middle-western states. One of these is its sanatoriums, or health resorts. The climate, the beautiful scenery, the pure water, the proximity to the large cities of Milwaukee and Chicago, and the high-grade medical specialists made it possible to found such institutions in southern Wisconsin long before other parts of the middle west had the population or transportation facilities to make success in this line either probable or possible.
The Oconomowoc Health Resort is one of the best equipped and best managed of these institutions. It accepts only nervous and mild mental cases. It is under the management of Dr. Arthur W. Rogers as resident physician. Dr. Rogers has both the professional equipment and the personality that are necessary in the treatment and care of persons suffering from nervous and mental disorders.
Fifty years ago examination was largely a matter of pulse finding; now it is possible to weigh and measure the organic functions of the body with as much accuracy as is possible in the testing of an intricate mechanism. This becomes possible through a series of tests in many of which elaborate equipment is required. Perhaps no other institution has a more complete organization for diagnosis than the Battle Creek Sanitarium.
The physical inventory possible there is a very thorough and accurate stock taking of the vital functions. Many business and professional men visit the sanitarium each year in order to take full advantage of the diagnostic facilities.
An interesting booklet, “The Measure of a Man,” is offered free by the sanitarium to those who care to know more regarding the system of examination.

Even the most robust and generally healthy children show the deleterious results of the modern system of educational “forcing” that prevails in most of our larger cities. The child that starts the school year in excellent physical condition, after the freedom and fresh air of the summer vacation, in many instances, becomes nervous, fidgety, and more or less anemic, as the term progresses, as the combined result of mental strain and physical confinement in overheated, poorly ventilated school-rooms. How much more likely is such a result in the case of the delicate, high-strung, sensitively organized, adolescent girl? It is certainly a great mistake to allow such a girl to continue under high mental pressure, at the expense of her physical health and well-being, and every available means should be resorted to to conserve the vitality and prevent a nervous breakdown. Regularity of meals, plenty of sleep, out-of-door exercise without fatigue, open windows at night and plenty of nutritious food, should all be supplied. Just as soon as an anemic pallor is noticeable, it is a good plan to order Pepto-Mangan (Gude) for a week or two, or as long as necessary to bring about an improvement in the blood state, and a restoration of color to the skin and visible mucous membranes. This efficient hematinic is especially serviceable in such cases, because it does not in the least interfere with the digestion nor induce a constipated habit.
