COMPRESSED  PILLS 
Bi-Sulphate  of  Quinine. 
The  complete  and  immediate  solubility  of  our  Bi-Sulphate  of  Qui- 
nine Pills,  overcomes  the  objection  of  administering  Quinine  in  pill 
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 
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 
over  all  others  manufactured.  Not  being  coated,  objection  may  be 
made  to  their  slight  bitterness,  but  we  are  satisfied  that  many  patients 
are  benefitted  by  the  appetizing  effect  of  the  bitter,  acting  similarly  to 
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, 
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 
they  are  most  likely  to  be  undissolved  in  the  very  ailments,  such  as, 
convalesence  from  fevers,  etc.,  when  prompt  action  is  most  needed  ?
