Abordßen.g^w«>tiand /"VXYGEX IS LIFE. Although the 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 great advantage of not causing, when its use is relinquished, the slightest reaction er depression. The question naturally presents itself, ''Why is so valuable an element so little regarded and. so seldom prescribed T The only answer which can be given is :— That a certain difficulty has been found in so preparing it that its action tnay ; be kept under perfect control. Aithertoithas been used in almond and olive oils, in sulphuric ether, in rectified alcohol, in chloroform, and in several other substances; but however valu able it has been found in all the hitherto 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 extreme cases, and \ after every other remedy has failed. : Bnt a "2 chemical process has now been discovered, by which its invaluable action on the human sys tem may be realised without any of those draw- ; backs which previous modes of administration have invariably produced. «aar Caution.—Phosphorus is sometimes Bold in the'form of Pills and Lozenges; it should te i generally known that every form where solid ■ particles of Phosphorus are in combination is dangerous. It is therefore necessary that the public should be cautioned against the use of any preparation of PhO3phorus not perfectly soluble in water. Protected by Royal Letters Patent,.
