XYG E N Ts LIFE Although the modern Matcria Medic.a in cludes many valuable remedies for human ailliotions, it is a matter of certainty that in all cases where the animal -vitality i 3 failing, Phos phorus is decidedly superior to every other remedy at present known. It will work cUccts such as nothing else will produce, and it pos sesses the great advantage of not causing, when its use is relinquished, the slightest reaction or depression. The quef tion naturally presents itself, •' Why is so valuable an element ho little regarded and so seldom prescribed ?" The only answer which can be given is :—That a certain difficulty has been found in so preparing it that its action may be kept under perfect control. Aitherto it has 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 nil the hitheito known methods of its preparation, certain irregular results have been experiepced, 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. But a chemical process ha 3 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. tsr Caution. —Phosphorus is sometimes sold in the form of Pills and Lozenges ; it should be generally known that every form where solid particles of Phosphorus are in combination is dangerous. It ia therefore necessary that the public should be cautioned against the use of any preparation o* Phosphorus not perfectly soluble in water.
