It will WO rk efl£>£ such as nothing else will produce, and itw ; H sesses the great advantage of not causing v&Z, its use is relinquished, the slightest reaction^ I depression. ÜBr ' The question naturally presents itself •'ww is so valuable an element so little regarded «.«$ : so seldom prescribed V The only answer wIS Q can be given is :—That a certain difficulty w ;. been found in so preparing it that its action TruS' be kept under perfect control. Aitherto itS s; been used in almond and olive oils, in snlnhnSl ether, in rectified aicohol, in chloroform an! in several other substances; but however vSi? able it has been found in all the hitheito known ;» methods of its preparation, certain irresmkl results have been experienced, which, have lert physicians to neglect it for general purnosM and to employ it only in extreme cases and after every other remedy has failed. Brit a " chemical process has now been discovered, m which its in valuable action on the hnmanW tern may be realised w:thout any of those draw backs which previous modes of administration" have invariably produced. " «*r Cautiox.— Phosphorus is sometimes sold in the form of Pills and Lozenges; it should lie generally known that every form where soM particles of Phosphorus are in combination fa - dangerous.
