BOREMETINE--A NEW EMETINE PREPARATION FOR PYORRHEA
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.

OCONOMOWOC HEALTH RESORT
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.
BATTLE CREEK SANITARIUM
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.

THE DELICATE SCHOOL GIRL
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.
