ss.  » 
nine  Pills,  overcomes  the  objection  of  administering  Quinine  in  pill  3* 
form.  Before  we  succeeded  in  making  these  pills  so  readily  soluble,  «.  ^ 
we  urged  in  our  circulars,  and  through  our  agents,  the  advantage  of      «  &, 
prescribing  Quinine  in  solution,  stating  our  belief  that  four  grains 
dissolved  with  the  addition  of  acid  would  not  only  act  more  promptly,  ^  © 
but,  therapeutically,  would  really  exert  as  great  an  influence  as  six  §  3* 
grains  in  pill  form.  ^  ^ 
Now  that  we  can  compress  Bi-Sulphate  of  Quinine  so  that  it  will  &  ^ 
assimilate  and  act  as  quickly  as  a  solution,  we  have  no  hesitation  in  ^  | 
asking  medical  men  to  give  this  form  of  Quinine  Pills  the  preference  g  » 
over  all  others  manufactured.    Not  being  coated,  objection  may  be  k<s 
made  to  their  slight  bitterness,  but  we  are  satisfied  that  many  patients  ^  S" 
are  benefitted  by  the  appetizing  effect  of  the  bitter,  acting  similarly  to  £j  § 
a  tonic,  like  Gentian,  the  good  results,  we  believe,  being  due  to  a  great  ^  ^ 
degree,  to  the  bitter  taste.  Even  if  that  theory  is  not  well  founded,  g  a 
is  it  not  far  better  to  use  them,  notwithstanding  the  bitterness  to  which 
some  would  object,  rather  than  administer  coated  pills  which  may  ^  | 
remain  in  the  stomach  undissolved  for  an  indefinite  time,  especially  as  H  » 
they  are  most  likely  to  be  undissolved  in  the  very  ailments,  such  as,  g  «, 
convalesence  from  fevers,  etc.,  when  prompt  action  is  most  needed  ?  ^
