THE CHARLOTTE MEDICAL JOURNAL.
"As a result of an experience of many
years, I consider Tongaline the most efficient
combination of those drugs, which,
with our present knowledge of rheumatism,
give the best results in the treatment of that
and similar diseases."
Intestinal Dyspepsia.
A "lazy" or inactive liver is more often
responsible for abdominal discomfort and
the varied symptoms of indigestion, and
intestinal Auto-Toxemia, than is generally
supposed.
Why should this be so ?
about as follows : first, Hepatic Insufiiciency,
and a consequent sluggish bile flow deprives
the intestines of its natural stimulus
to peristalsis: both bile and bowel drainage
are thus interfered with and Constipation
results.
Second, when nature's antiseptic, antitoxic
and laxative secretion (the bile) is
insufficient in quantity and thick and tenacious
in consistency, stasis and putrefaction
of the intestinal contents ensue.
Third, the toxic produets of such putre'
faction are absorbed and Auto-Toxemia re-
sults.
In such cases, Indican, in varying proportion,
is usually found in the urine.
This" pathologic chain is more or less familiar
to every physician.
As to the remedy, calomel, podophyilin i
and quiek "liver-stirrers" are first thought i
of. In many cases they help, temporarily, .;
but are they the true physiologic cholagogue ? \
Does not their action depend upon their i
irritant properties ? Does not hepatic inac- (
tivity usually re-ensue after active liver
stimulation and catharsis?
Chologestin is a true pliysiologic cholagogue,
by virtue of its natural bile acid salt
(sodium glycocholate) and normal sodium J
salicylate from oil of wintergreen. Its action |
is not that of an hepatic irritant. It over- %
comes the physiologic deficiency (insuffi- J
cient percentage of bile acid,) which is '
usually responsible for hepatic torpidity. ;
The contained Paucreatin (U. S. P. Stand- \
aid) assists intestinal digestion generally:
The natural sodium salicylate acts as an
intestinal antisecptic and the sodium bicarbonate
contributes the necessary alkalinity.
Chologestin is in liquid form and the dose,
One Tahlespoonful, after each meal, should i
always be given well diluted with cold (
water. Formula, samples and literature (.
will be forwarded to physicians, upon re- i
quest, together with a handsome "Indican li
Color Scale" with approved test and inter- jj
pretation, by F. H. Strong Company, 56 \

The "Storm" Binder and Abdominal i
Supporter.
The profession is a unit in believing in J
the usefulness and actual necessity of some ti
form of abdominal binder after operations -
upon that region. The variety of binders i
that have been put upon the market is al- .
most without number. The very fact that \
so many different kinds have been in use ^
indicates that most of them have been un- :
satisfactory.
Dr. Katherine L. Storm, of Philadelphia, :
has placed upon the market a form of ab- j
dominal binder and supporter which bids
The pathologic sequence seems to be fair to become the most popular of any yet
introduced to the profession. This binder
took the prize offered by the Managers of
the Woman's Hospital, of Philadelphia. Iti
is a light, flexible, washable and durable!
appliance, without rubber or steel in its
construction. It is used for any purpose for
which an abdominal supporter may be needed
for mau, woman or child. It is applicable
for general support, with pad, it may be
used for local support as well, for instance,
for hernia. It is especially valuable for
movable kidney, enteroptosis or Glenard's'
disease. It is an ideal post-operative binder.
It is a great comfort to women during
the pregnant and puerperal states. It isj
readily adjusted and produces no discom-'
fort when worn. Measurements may be
taken, and supporters ordered from the mail'
