Terebene has been used in the treatment of affections of the respiratory organs, giving distinct relief. Each tabloid capsule contains five minims of pure terebene.

AN INEXPENSIVE WATER STERILISER FOR OPERATING ROOMS. A PLENTIFUL and readily available supply of Aor and cold Of the sterilised water is essential at all operations. sterilisers in general use many are elaborate and expensive and have the further disadvantage of being attached to the apparatus for sterilising dressings. I have recently had constructed for me by Messrs. Smith and Wellstood, 11, Dixonstreet, Glasgow, a very simple apparatus that makes an excellent water steriliser and is very moderate in price.
CO., BEAK-STREET, REGENT-STREET, LONDON, W.) 1. Egmol is an emulsion prepared on satisfactory lines and contains, it is stated, 40 per cent. of olive oil emulsified with fresh eggs and flavoured with best French brandy. We found that on extraction with ether 34 per cent. of oil was obtained. It is quite palatable and serves the purpose of a good fubstitute for cod-liver oil, especially for those who exhibit a repugnance to the fish oil. It is clearly a powerful nutritive agent containing egg protein in addition to egg fat and olive oil. There is no reason why olive oil should not

AND
favour assimilation and nutrition as well as does cod-liver oil. 2. The petroleum emulsion is another well-made and uniform preparation containing suitable amounts of hypophosphites of calcium and sodium. It is quite free from objectionable taste. 3. The adrenalin and chloretone ointment combines the constringent properties of the active principle of the suprarenal gland with the analgesic and antiseptic properties of chloretone. Its application, therefore, in inflammations, in hmmorrhoids, and congestions of the nose and the ear is indicated. 4 Black wash tablets are useful in providing for the easy preparation of the lotio hydrargyri nigra. For this purpose one tablet is crushed and rubbed to a paste with half an ounce of glycerine and then sufficient water is added to make the whole, which must be thoroughly mixed, up to ten fluid ounces.
New Inventions. IMPROVED NOZZLE FOR AURAL SYRINGE. WHEN removing cerumen, foreign bodies, pus, &3., from the external auditory meatus with an aural syringe it is essential for the surgeon to see exactly what he is doing. When using an aural syringe with a straight nozzle attached,
The above illustration shows its leading features. It is a nickel-plated No. 8, copper " Fortressboiler, holding six gallons, and made with a flat bottom and with an inside sliding drainer. The lid overlaps the rim of the boiler and thus makes it dust-proof. It has a brass tap fitted with lever handle and it is furnished with a gauge-glass to show
the level of the contained water. For convenience in use the steriliser is placed on a wrought-iron stand on which the boiler rests. The height of this stand is 24 inches and it has malleable iron legs with supports. Just even although a good light is obtainable, it is difficult, if not below the boiler there is attached to the stand a shelf which carries a special Bunsen burner for heating the water. The impracticable, sometimes to see the meatus thoroughly, stand and all the parts connected with it are enamelled I white. The cost of the whole apparatus with stand is £510s. Two such sterilisers in an operating room would furnish all the needed hot and cold sterilised water. The one for the latter merely requires the water to be boiled the night before the operation. Next morning when cooled it will give cold sterilised water. The other one can have its contents boiled shortly before the operation, and they can be kept hot while the operation is going on. Another advantage possessed by this water steriliser to which I would draw attention is that its wide mouth allows of its being used for boiling many of the basins, trays, and smaller jugs used at an operation.

Allen and Hanburys, 48, Wigmore-street, London, W., have made for me a simple curved nozzle which obviates this difficulty and allows the surgeon to have a thorough view of the meatus.
