Mrs. Virginia Blackwell Carder, aged 38 years, wife of Dr. George M. Carder, class of 1891, of Cumberland, Md., died March 17, 1909, after a struggle of two weeks against the ravages of a mastoid abscess.

Mrs. Carder was preparing to visit her sister, Mrs. Gay Breton Leroux, in Douglas, Ga.

Suddenly she was stricken, and when an operation became necessary Mrs. Carder insisted that her husband, a surgeon who has kept constant vigil the last two weeks, perform the operation. The operation was apparently very successful, and Mrs. Carder was improving, when complications in the form of typhoid fever set in. Prof. C. W. Mitchell, of Baltimore, and Drs. J. T. Walker and Harry Hyland Kerr, of Washington, were called by Dr. Carder, and all said everything possible was being done for her, but held out no hope.

Va., and Charles T. Callan, of Little Orleans, Md.), and one sister (Mrs. Leroux). Miss Mary L. Callan, a sister, was accidentally drowned in the Potomac at Little Orleans.

In Pneumoniathe inspired air should be rich in oxygen and comparatively cool, while the surface of the body, especially the thorax, should be kept warm, lest, becoming chilled, the action of the phagocytes in their battle with the pneumococci be inhibited.

Antiphlogistine(Inflammation's Antidote)

Antiphlogistine

(Inflammation's Antidote)

applied to the chest wall, front, sides and back, hot and thick, stimulates the action of the phagocytes and often turns the scale in favor of recovery.

Croup.—Instead of depending on an emetic for quick action in croup, the physician will do well to apply Antiphlogistine hot and thick from ear to ear and down over the interclavicular space. The results of such treatment are usually prompt and gratifying.

Antiphlogistine hot and thick is also indicated in Bronchitis and Pleurisy

Certain as it is that a single acting cause can bring about any one of the several anomalies of menstruation, just so certain is it that a single remedial agent—if properly administered—can effect the relief of any one of those anomalies.

¶ The singular efficacy of Ergoapiol (Smith) in the various menstrual irregularities is manifestly due to its prompt and direct analgesic, antispasmodic and tonic action upon the entire female reproductive system.

¶ Ergoapiol (Smith) is of special, indeed extraordinary, value insuchmenstrual irregularities asamenorrhea,dysmenorrhea,menorrhagiaandmetrorrhagia.
