are themselves oxidized and destroyed. The free ozone in the 

 stomach resulting from the decomposition of glycozone aids the 

 digestive process by its presence. 



Therapy. — Glycozone is, in the opinion of the writer, the 

 best known agent for the treatment of gastric ulcer. It is also 

 one of the best remedies for the treatment of the stomacli, ca- 

 tarrh of chronic alcoholism, and for chronic gastric catarrh from 

 other causes. It is excellent for atonic dyspepsia, and for acid 

 dyspepsia. The writer has seen very gratifying results from its 

 use in these distressing maladies. 



In catarrhal and other stomachic diseases except gastric ul- 

 cer, the remedy is best administered in one or two teaspoonfuls 

 in a wine-glassful of water immediately after meals. In the 

 case of gastric ulcer the dose and dilution should be the same, 

 but it is better to give it when the stomach is empty. 



Glycozone has an excellent effect when used internally in 

 cases of diphtheria. For this purpose a tablespoonful of glyco- 

 zone is given in a wineglassfut of water every three hours. As 

 it is perfectly harmless it may be used without apprehension. 

 The following treatment is excellent in cases of membranous 

 croup: The nose, throat, mouth, pharynx and larynx should 

 be sprayed copiously every two hours or so with a mixture of 

 one ounce of Marchand's peroxide of hydrogen (medicinal), 

 with four to six ounces of water. 



The membranes are readily destroyed, and by using this 

 remedy freely, their reproduction is prevented. Then one tea- 

 spoonful of glycozone, diluted in a wineglassful of water, ad- 

 ministered three times a day, prevents any disturbance of the 

 stomach and regulates the bowels. 



Remarkable benefit may be derived in the treatment of dis- 

 eased conditions (ulceration and chronic inflammation) of the 

 rectum and lower gut, by enemata containing glycozone and 

 for this purpose nothing excels the following formula : 



Glycozone, 1 ounce. 



Water, lukewarm, 12 ounces. 



This should be mixed immediately before using and admin- 

 istered with a hard rubber syringe once daily. It is frequently 

 desirable to use a smaller amount than the above mixture. The 

 proportions 1 to 12, however should be maintained. In cases 

 of fistula-in-ano and of rectal ulcerations low down, an ounce
