TELA ARANE^. 



clammy chilliness, this hydrogenoid condition, with its accompanying com- 

 plaint? Hardly. Would it be profitable to speculate upon the matter? 

 Possibly. Does Tela operate through the vasomotor centers, either by re- 

 laxing the arterioles or by vivifying the capillaries, and thus improve con- 

 ditions by imparting a sensation of agreeable general warmth to the hith- 

 erto clammy, chilly patient? It acts gradually, so the effects are not to be 

 expected in a minute after administration. A few days of its use, however, 

 will suffice to produce results. 



Evidence exists that Tela is a marked neurotic, and that it can hardly 

 be directed exclusively to the vasomotor centers. It is accredited with 

 curing dry, spasmodic cough, stimulating pertussis, and sometimes asth- 

 matic cough; of relieving climacteric flushes, and hot flushes in both sexes, 

 followed by clammy sweat; .twitching of the facial muscles, formication, 

 numbness of the extremities, hyperesthesia and insomnia, sexual irrita- 

 .bility and nocturnal orgasm, cardiac palpitation with angina, and headaches, 

 all come under its curative influence, when accompanied by the hydrogenoid 

 condition of Grauvogl; especially if periodicity be manifest, and the subject 

 be inclined to neurasthenia. 



To illustrate more forcibly the place for Tela, I will quote Dr. O. S. 

 Laws, of Los Angeles: 



"There are many cases which need simply that and nothing more. A 

 case came under my care, in 1894, for sundry ailments of the sexual organs, 

 but the most annoying symptom of which she complained was chilliness, 

 and 'cold, clammy sweat,' as she termed it. She was constantly going about, 

 but could not get on wraps enough to prevent the chilliness. 



"From what I had read in Dynamical Therapeutics concerning Tela, 

 and from my own use of it in a variety of cases, I prescribed it for her: I 

 put dr. I to oz. iv. of water, and she took one teaspoonful of the dilution 

 four times a day. Relief began in a few days, and before the second bottle 

 was gone no extra wraps were needed, and she was benefited in Other ways. 

 She has not complained of the chilliness since. 



"I use Tela — Specific Medicine, of course — in all cases where numbness 

 is complained of, and the results are so prompt and surprising that it seemA 

 like fiction to speak of them." 



Resume. — Tela is specifically indicated in debilitated subjects of neu- 

 rotic tendency, with cool, clammy skin, protracted sensation of chilliness 

 with or without nervous complication, especially where periodicity i^ in 

 evidence. Given when the keynote, chilliness, long continued, is present, 

 it is liable to remove accompanying neurotic complications, at the Same 

 time that it corrects the faulty condition of the circulation. — Bclectif Medical

By John Fearn, M. D.: 



"Dr. Webster has done the profession a service by his timely article 

 on this remedy in the October Eclectic Medical Journal — a service that I 

 ought to have rendered long ago, but have been prevented by adverse cir- 

 cumstances. To put the matter briefly: A few years ago my health was 

 very much below par, and the chief disease expression was this surface and 

 general coldness. As I walked on the street I saw men in their shirt sleeves, 

 seeming very comfortable. I was warmly dressed and had on ain overcoat; 

 but was uncomfortably cold. I had always worn light-weight underwear, 

 but had to change to warmer, without much advantage. In bed the clothes 

 were piled on until the weight was oppressive; but it was the only way I 

 could be comfortable. The old adage says, 'The man who is his own doc- 

 tor, has a fool for a patient.' I have been my own doctor and family doctor 

 with success. Bvit in this case I failed. I consulted Dr. 'VVsbster, and he 

 said, Tela Araneje is your remedy.' I at once began its use, ten to fifteen 

 drops of Spec. Med. Tela AranejE in four ounces of wafer, teaspoonful 

 every three hours. The improvement was remarkable arid quick, and it 

 has been permanent. 



"Now for the cause of my trouble: The previous winter had been very
