Dr. Moubre, writing to the ‘Gazette des ILopitans, gives his experience of petroleum capsules in simple and chronic bronchitis. 1 Ins balsamic had been brought before the l Novapectic ‘Society by Dr. Blache a vear at -the suggestion of a Parisian who named it Gabian oil, in order to prevent public prejudice. Each capsule contains twentylive centigrammes of pure petroleum, the ordinary oil not being used, as it has to be distilled in contact with sulphuric acid to render it lit for lighting purposes. At the Hopital Boaujon, where these capsules have been freely ordered for chronic bronchitis a rapid diminution of the secretion and fits ot coughing were observed. In tuberculosis tain medicine gave encouraging results.
