This is a bulletin of inventions and improvements of interest to the physician and surgeon, and is published quarterly by Leach and Greene, Boston, Mass. It is mailed free to any address. ANTIFEBRINE. Antifebrine as a proprietary name is controlled by patents, and when bought under this name it costs about thirty cents per ounce. The name acetanilide, for exactly the same substance, is not and cannot be controlled in any way, and under this name it can be bought for about fifteen cents per ounce. As acetanilide is about one-eighth the price of antipyrine, and effective in half the dose, it is far more economical to the patient.—_Pittsburgh Medical Review._ ENEMA LESIONS.
