Although tho modern Materia Medica in cludes many valuable remedies for human afflictions, it is a matter of certainty that in all cases where the animal vitality is failing. Phos phorus is decidedly superior to every other remedy at present known. It will work effects such as nothing else will produce, and it. pos sesses the groat advantage of not causing, when its use is relinquished, the slightest reaction or depression. The question naturally presents itself, "'Why is so valuable an element mo little regarded and so seldom prescribed V The only answer which can be given is :—That a ceriain difficulty has been found in so preparing it thatitaaction may be kept under perfect control. Aiilicrto it has been used in almond and olive oil.s, in sulphuric ether, in rectified alcohol, in chloroform, and in several other substance* : but however valu able it lias been found in w.ll the hithei to known methods of its preparation, certain irregular results have been experienced, which have led physicians to neglect, it for general purposes, and to employ it only In extromo casep, and after every other remedy has failed. But a chemical process has now been discovered, by which its invaluaMo action on the human sys tem may bo realised without any of tlio&e draw backs which previous modes of administration have invariably produced. e*r Caution.—Phosphorus is sometimes sold in tho form of Pills and Lozenges ; it should be generally known that every form where solid particles of Phosphorus aro in combination is dangerous. It is therofora necessary that the public should be cautioned against the use of any preparation of PhO3phorus not perfectly soluble in water.
