S.  A  small  wine-glass  to  be  taken 
four  times  a  day  during  meals,  com- 
mencing with  lunch. 
We  also  c\ll  attention  to  Aqua  Anti-Cholerica  Meyeri,  Potio 
anti-cholerica  de  Lovignac,  and  other  preservatives  in  our  Man- 
uale  Pharmaceuticum.* 
In  using  one  of  the  above  preservatives,  a  moral  strength  is 
gained  which  excludes  all  fear  of  cholera ;  and  ~they  are  a 
strengthening  support  during  the  superabundance  of  business 
which  visits  those  apothecaries'  stores  around  which  the  cholera 
seeks  its  victims. 
A  moderate  use  of  quinia,  in  small  doses,  for  four  or  eight 
weeks,  is  without  the  least  ill  effect  upon  the  health.  The 
notion  that  it  produces  dropsy,  is  sheer  superstition. 
We  copy  from  this  work  the  formulas,  &c,  for  both  preparations
