Sole Aarents r tho GROVER & BAKER SEWING MACHINES f\ X V G E N As L I F E Although the modern Materia Medics in cludes many valuable remedies for human afflictions, it is a matter of certainty that in all cases where tho 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 cavsing, when its use is relinquished, the slightest reaction or depression. The auction naturally presents itself, ** Why ' is so valuable an element so little regarded and so seldom prescribed V The only answer which can be given is :—That a certain difficulty has been found in so preparing it that its action may be kent under perfect control. Aiiherto 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 all the hitheito 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 case?, and after every other remedy has failed. But a 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. ♦W Caution.—Phosphorus is sometimes sold in the form of Pills and Lozenges ; it should be generally known lhat 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 Phosphorus not perfectly soluble in water.
