VERSUS TYPHOID FEVER. Why is the convalescence from typhoid fever so prolonged? I. The typhoid poison (toxine) has produced degeneration (cloudy swelling or fatty degeneration) of every important cell in the body. 2. The treatment which the patient has undergone has included, of necessity, partial starvation, since the digestive glands have not been in a condition to digest food. The physician has not dared to give the patient other than the mildest undigested food, on account of the danger of perforation of the bowel. What is the rational treatment? Feeding. With carbohydrates? No. It is not energy that is required, but material to supply the tissue waste. Therefore an albuminous diet. Meats? No, because the digestive juices are not yet in a condition to digest them. What then? A predigested albuminous food, which will require no activity of the intestinal juices to prepare it for absorption. This requirement is met with in the most satisfactory manner by HEMAPEPTONE. Hemapeptone is the best possible preparation that you can give your patients that need something to repair tissue waste; best for this reason, that it contains more proteid in absorbable form than anything that you have ever had to prescribe. Best for the reason that it contains the only Organic form of Iron (Hematin) ever given you to use. Hemapeptone is not irritating; will not constipate, and will give you results that you can get in no other way. This we know absolutely, both by work in the laboratory, and by tests on all sorts and conditions of cases. In every case has it proved successful when used where indicated. Particularly valuable will you find it just at this time, in the conditions of mal-nutrition following summer disorders, and for feeding in typhoid fever. It will do exceptional work if you will give it the opportunity. Any doctor interested enough to pay for carriage will be sent a full sized $1.00 bottle and literature.

The general plan of treatment is to build up the physical system, restoring both mind and body to a normal condition. This is accomplished by the application of Turkish, Saline, and Shower Baths, Electricity, Massage, Tonics, Diet, and every other means known to science, which by experience have been proved to be of value in these cases.

The success and value of the treatment has been most thoroughly proven by physicians of all schools and in every part of the civilized globe. The evidence of its value has become so cumulative that I am now justified in assuring the profession that most acute diseases, especially inflammatory type, can be cured at their beginning, and the large percentage of chronic cases incurable by stomach medication. Only to such physicians as fail to investigate may this statement seem preposterous. Those who have investigated the discovery and applied it in their practice, have, each and every one, verified the truth of this assertion. Nothing else has or can send appropriate remedies into enlarged prostate, fibroid tumor, or into the spinal cord in locomotor ataxia and remove these deposits. As far as I know no other treatment has ever cured sclerosis of the liver, or prevented a return of paralysis by removal of deposits following brain clot. I respectfully invite the profession to send for a full description of the discovery and medical evidence of its value. S. R. BECKWITH, M.D., 170 Fifth Avenue, New York.
