“Safe in administration.” “Non-toxic as ordinarily administered.” “Will nauseate some persons,” but “the reaction from the temporary depression is prompt.” “In Bright’s disease, both the interstitial and parenchymatous forms of nephritis, acute or chronic, no remedy ... to equal it in efficacy.” “Without increasing the debility of the patient or interfering with nutrition by producing loss of appetite....” “This treatment is to be continued without cessation until all symptoms of dropsy have disappeared.” Physicians who are inclined to disregard this warning, and who follow the advice of the Anasarcin people, should remember that their patients--or their friends--will put the blame for the results, which are bound to follow sooner or later, on the prescribers, and not on the deceptive advertisements of the Anasarcin Chemical Company. There is another little matter which throws an illuminating side-light on the Anasarcin Company. They take every occasion to say that Anasarcin is “not offered to the laity,” “never sold to the laity,” etc.; but witness the following, which was found in the _Retail Druggist_ of May, 1906, p. 179. The italics are ours. CURE FOR DROPSY. “As every druggist knows, dropsy has been one of the incurable diseases when caused either from heart, liver or kidney trouble. A _pharmacist_ in Winchester, Tenn., _has worked out a remedy_ called Anasarcin, which he is exploiting to the physicians, and his remedy is showing itself as possessing great merit. Several hopeless cases have been treated as a last resort by Anasarcin and in a very short time the patient has shown marked improvement and has effected permanent cures. “The result of the cases as handled by the physician with the aid of Anasarcin has been so easily and quickly cured that physicians of Tennessee and the southern states are high in their praises of the remedy. The company which now manufactures and sells it is known as the Anasarcin Chemical Co., of Winchester, Tenn. _Any druggist who knows of a case of dropsy would be conferring a favor on the patient and mankind in general by telling the party_ or his physician _of the southern pharmacist_, and we have no doubt but what a prompt relief and permanent cure would be affected.” [Probably means effected.--Ed.] Anedemin
