A  VALUABLE  ADJUVANT  IN  THE  TREATMENT  OF  CHRONIC 
BRONCHIAL  AFFECTIONS  OF  AN  INFLAMMA- 
TORY OR  CATARRHAL  NATURE. 
This  plant  indigenous  to  Chili,  was  introduced  to  the  profession  by  Dr. 
Murrell,  the  famous  English  theurapeutist  and  collaborator  of  Ringer.  Dr. 
Murrell  found  Cheken  to  be  of  great  value  in  chronic  cough,  especially  in  the 
"winter  cough"  of  elderly  people. 
An  extensive  trial  of  this  remedy  has  not  only  confirmed  Dr.  Murrell's 
observations  but  has  widened  the  range  of  the  theurapeutic  application  of 
Cheken  so  that  at  the  present  time  it  is  looked  upon  on  account  of  its  alterative 
and  demulcent  properties  as  an  indispensable  addition  to  "cough  mixtures," 
particularly  in  those  intractable  cases  of  long  standing  which  have  assumed  a 
subacute  or  chronic  course.  The  dose  of  the  fluid  extract  which  we  manufac- 
ture is  from  one  to  two  fluid  drachms.

A  REMEDY  FOR  COUGHS  DUE  TO  CATARRHAL  INFLAMMATIONS 
OF  THE  RESPIRATORY  TRACT. 
In  il  s  native  habitat  t  his  remedy  was  long  known  to  possess  medicinal  virtue  in 
the  treatment  of  coughs.  Its  popular  use  led  to  a  scientific  investigation  of  its 
claims  which  has  resulted  in  its  general  introduction  to  the  medical  profession, 
and  a  clinical  test  of  its  merits  by  physicians  has  confirmed  the  popular  opinion 
of  its  value.
