A sample package (the phrase “as recommended by your physician” and other statements suggest that it is expected to be given the patient by the physician and thus effectively advertise NuTone to the public) describes NuTone as an “Agreeable Concentrated Nutritive Tonic Emulsion of Malt Extract, Beef Juice and Cod Liver Oil, Combined with Nerve Tonics and Bone Nutrients.” Emphasizing the nutritive value of this “Malt Extract, Beef Juice, and Cod Liver Oil” preparation, it is advised, “As NuTone is rich in nutritive properties, it is well to begin with one-fourth teaspoonful, gradually increasing to regular dose, which is: Adults, 1 to 2 teaspoonfuls after meals and at bedtime. Children according to age.” It thus appears that adults are to take this preparation as a “nutritive” in doses which represent from 3 to 12 grains of sugar (on the assumption that malt extract may contain as much as 50 per cent. sugar) and 8 to 30 minims of cod liver oil with unstated, but probably equally small, amounts of beef juice. A consideration of the negligible food value of NuTone as well as of the inefficiency of the other components and the claim that it is indicated in “malnutrition,” “wasting diseases” and “incipient phthisis” classes NuTone with that large group of shotgun mixtures which do harm in that dependence is placed on them in conditions in which the patient will probably be restored to health if proper medical and hygienic measures are adopted in time. The Council declared NuTone inadmissible to New and Nonofficial Remedies because it is an irrational shotgun mixture advertised indirectly to the public with unwarranted therapeutic claims and a nondescriptive therapeutically suggestive name.--(_From Reports of Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry, 1917, p. 154._) TRI-ARSENOLE, L. O. COMPOUND NO. 1 AND L. O. COMPOUND NO. 2 Report of the Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry =Tri-Arsenole.=--According to the advertising of the Medical Supply Company of Atlanta, Ga., “Tri-Arsenole” is “Merco-Arseno-Benzo-Chloride,” and the claim is made: “This compound is the result of many years’ research. The toxicity has been fully tested upon animals before using clinically, the latter having proven such complete success, we take pleasure in presenting it to the public ...” “The manufacturers of TRI-ARSENOL, before placing it upon the market, tested it biologically.” Tri-Arsenole is “recommended and suitable for the treatment of primary, secondary, tertiary and hereditary syphilis. It has also been found very useful in pellagra and malaria.” The preparation is supplied in ampules containing varying amounts of the dry substance. It is to be dissolved in water and is to be administered intravenously. In the advertising attention is called to the yellow color of Tri-Arsenole; this, and the style of package suggest that it is a preparation similar to salvarsan.
