SANDER AND SONS' EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. We abstract from a report that appeared in the Clintical Record, a medical periodical published at St. Louis, U.S., the following particulars of a most remarkable cure of the wasting disease " Albuminuria." Bauer, JW.D., Professor and Dean at the College of Physicians and Surgeons, St Louis, states, in conjunction with Hazard, M.D., Professor at the s.me medical, institution : Case. —A gentleman, aged forty-five^,was for several weeks engaged in (be re-corstruction of a building, ami was thus; constantly exposed ft) sewer "gas. Very { ooji ihe was attacked 'with i a pronoucced ( form of malarial fever, and total disarrangement of his digestive, .apparatus. In deluding appropriate treatment bis condition became -more aggravated and serious. When at last the patient, came under our observation moderate ascites and' anasarca bad : been superadded. Aside from these symptoms the patient was at no time entirely free of fever, as indicated by the increase of temperature^and pulse. The. skin was altogether inactive. The firsr object of treatment was to arrest the febrile disturbance with-4arge dosVs of quinine. Thi< was only partially successful, ■'■ even the addition of arsetiio and iron did not break the until the sewer had been put in complete order. Up to this time no speoial attention Imd been paid to the dropsy, with the hope tbaf/toltf) Ih>,/effectual removal, o< the cause, its effect v would spontaneously terminate. In this expectation Prof. B was not only disappointed,, but ,the dropsical collection even increased and materially interfered with respiration. ' The percentage of albumen likewise-augmented.: Moderate purgation had no effects inligivirig, relief; Hot air and variously medicated, baths did not change the inaction of the skin. Various diuretics failed to ■ increase, the urinary secretion. " Thus," Professor B. remarked, " I had almost arrived at my w ; 's' end, when it occurredJto me to. employ the diurrtic action of Sander} and. Sons' Ei.ealvpti Ex tract. It w.aj prescribed in, the chape of an emulsion, and the "closes gradually inere.tsed from five to fitteen drops t* ur limes a day. From the start (he jpitient realised the, beneficial effects of the remedv. Above all, , the albumen in the ur ne ctesdily diminished, and at the end of ten weeks' use of this remedy tbe patient,, was .cdrhj letely/relieved of his dropsical symptoms. Repealed examine *■ tions of his urice have recently been made, hut not tbe slightest trace of albumen has been discovered.'Since then Dr B, has . treated two other patients in similar, but less aggravated, conditions, with Sander and Sons' Eucalypti Extract, and accomplished the same prompt and enduring benefits. Tho services thus derived from the use of Sander and Hons' Eucalypti Extract have led further tests, which resulted in establish- '■'*,' mg its eminent curative properties in til /'/disorders of the urinary organs. The Am. Medical Journal reports in the November 5 number :—ln diseases of the kidneys, either ;.'. active, congestion or suppression (uraemia) or albuminuria, droppy, lhhissis, nothing will equal in ils action Sender aiidSons'Eucalypti - Extract. Doses, live to eight drops in a iittla sweetened water, twice or thraa *imes daily.
