Abdominal Supporters.
Abdominal supporters are universally
used by surgeons and physicians. Dr.
Katherine L. Storm, of Philadelphia, has
designed a supporter so much in advance
of the ordinary bandages that she has given
the profession an invention of very great
merit. It has received the highest praise
bj' eminent men, and is in very general use.
It is surely worth while to have a bandage
that will hold in place, for instance, parts
that have been stitched, thus enabling the
patient to get out of bed a few days sooner
than otherwise. Dr. Storm advertises the
supporters in our columns, and we trust
many of our readers will ask her for descriptive
circulars. Address Dr. Katherine
L. Storm, 1612 Diamond street, Philadelphia,

Danger Due to Substitution.
Hardly another of all the preparations in existence
offers a wider scope to imposition under the
plea of "jnst as good" than the scientifically standardized
Eucalyptol.
The most recent fraud practiced in regard to this
product is an attempt to profit by the renown of the
firm of Sander & Sons. In order to foist upon the
unwary a crude oil, that had proved injurious upon
application, the firm name of Sander & vSons is
illicitly appropriated, the make-up of their goods
imitated and finally the medical reports commending
on the merits of their excellent preparation are
made use of to give the desired lustre to the intended
deceit.
This fraud, which was exposed at an action tried
before the Supreme Court of Victoria at 1 elbourne,
and others reported before in the medica literature!
show that every physician should see that his pat-
ent gets exactly what he prescribed. No "just as
good" allowed.
