Soluble  Elastic 
Filled  Capsules. 
Few  preparations  illustrate  more  strikingly  than  these,  the  value 
of  the  service  which  pharmacy  is  rendering  the  practitioner  of 
medicine.  While  we  manufacture  these  Soluble  Elastic  Filled 
Capsules  of  all  sizes,  ranging  from  ten  minims  to  half  an  ounce,  it 
is  more  particularly  to  the  larger  sizes  that  we  would  now  ask  atten- 
tion. The  smaller  sizes  have  been  before  the  profession  for  a  con- 
siderable time,  and  are,  therefore,  familiar.  Comparatively  few  prac- 
titioners, we  believe,  realize  the  great  advantages  which  would  accrue, 
both  in  the  increased  satisfaction  to  the  subscriber,  and  the  comfort  and 
well-being  of  the  patient,  through  the  general  employment  of  these 
capsules  in  the  administration  of  the  more  bulky  and  nauseous  oily 
drugs,  e.g.,  Castor  Oil  and  Cod  Liver  Oil.

These  filled  capsules  being  soft  and  elastic,  and  readily  lubricated 
with  the  saliva,  are  swallowed  with  the  greatest  ease,  even  when  of 
the  largest  size — containing  half  an  ounce.  A  tablespoonful  of  castor 
oil  or  cod  liver  oil  may  be  thus  given  with  the  utmost  facility  when 
any  other  method  of  giving  it  would  provoke  nausea  and  vomiting. 
We  claim  for  the  ingredients  with  which  our  capsules  are  filled 
absolute  conformity  to  the  highest  standard  of  excellence.
