TONSILINE 



FIG. 155. The Chemists of the American Medical Association have analyzed 

 Tonsiline and report that a product having essentially the same compo- 

 sition as Ton&iline would be: Tincture of chlorid of iron (ferric chloride), 

 U.S. P., 1 ounce; alcohol, 1 ounce; potassium chlorate, 280 grains; water, 

 sufficient to make 1 pint. It is not necessary to tell physicians that Tonsi- 

 line never cured sore throat nor prevented diphtheria. The stuff contains 

 drugs whose use for these purposes by the medical profession is being 

 abandoned. The risk of poisoning from the use of potassium chlorate, 

 while well known to the medical profession, is still but little appreciated 

 by the public. The dangers of the indiscriminate use of a "patent medi- 

 cine" containing, as Tonsiline does, a saturated solution of chlorate of 

 potash, by individuals who may be suffering from kidney disease, will 

 be evident to every physician, but not to the layman.
