Surgeon T. H. Parke, D.C.L., A.M.D., Medical Officer of the Emin Pasha Relief 



Expedition, in his book — 



"My Personal Experiences in Equatorial Africa," 



writes on page 357 ; — • 



" I did my work last evening, and have now commenced to see the sick as usual. My chief Harri 

 calls out ' dowe, dowe, dowe,' morning and e\'ening ; the sick then come crowding around me as I sit in 

 my chair and dole out' TABLOIDS ' [Burroughs, Wellcome & Co.] which are superior to any form of medicine 

 that I have tried, not only for efficiency and constancy of strength, as I have repeatedly noticed, but also 

 for extreme convenience of transport and rapid dispensing. 



" I hope that the medical department of Her Majesty's services may see their way to adopt this form 

 of medicine. I can say with confidence — from the experience of over ten years in the medical staff in the 

 army, both at home and abroad, in peace and war, including this expedition — that one man could carry a 

 larger quantity and of more ejficieni medicine m the ' Tabloid ' form than ten can manage in the present cumber- 

 some system used by the services. If the ' TABLOID ' system were only adopted on service abroad, see what 

 a difference of transport and space there would be. These ' Tabloids ' are soluble and the doses accurate : 

 why still patronise tlie pill with its indefinable charm, which becomes concrete and insoluble — and therefore 

 useless — when kept a long time, and the dignified antiquity of those fluids and powders, which are most 

 difficult to pack and to dispense ? But the most convincing ground of appeal to the authorities must be 

 expenditure, for the estimates would be lessened — as one medical officer could do the work of two, and 

 dispensers be themselves almost entirely dispensed with." 



On page 202 Surgeon Parke writes : — 



" These medicines are all contained in ' Tabloids,' which I have found extremely satisfactory, as they 

 are verv soluble, while they occupy very little space, and have never lost their strength. I have never used 

 any therapeutic preparations at all so convenient or so -reliable."
