In 1843, Alexander Ure pointed out that uric acid dissolved freely in lithium carbonate. Alfred Baring Garrod confirmed this observation in 1857, and popularized the used of lithium carbonate in both acute and chronic forms of gout. For more than fifty years, this popular use continued until thorough clinical evidence disproved its supposed value in gout. ALFRED GARROD (1819-1907) Heart of an Owl BECAUSE the owl was thought to be truly lethargic, old Franks advised their sleepless to eat the heart of an owl. Physicians today advise the use of MEDINAL (soluble barbital) when a sedative or hypnotic is indicated. A therapeutic dose will usually provide about eight hours of restful, refreshing sleep, devoid of disturbing dreams. Convenience of administration is a specially noteworthy advantage of Medinal. The tablets are suitable for any of three methods of administration: oral, hypodermic or rectal. Medinal is available in the form of tablets, powder, suppositories, and in a palatable elixir. This makes possible the type of sedative or hypnotic medication best adapted to the individual case. You can obtain a trial supply of Medinal, either the tablets or the elixir, if you will write us.
