COUTTS’ GUARANTEED AORTIC ACID, | IN CATARRHs RELAXED SORE THROAT, BRONCHITIS, CHEST COM. - PLAINTS, DEAFNESS, INFLAMED EYES, AND HEADACHES. DILUTE one part of Acetic Acid in eight parts of water [less or more].in the bottle — belonging to the Spray Producer, place the longer part of the tube into the bottle, attach the rubber tube carefully to the end of the vulcanite tube; work the bellows ~~ with one hand, and as the fine spray leaves the tube, inhale or draw in the spray with the breath. oz For CATARRA, draw up the spray into the nostrils, breathing out and in until the nose is clear ; for Chronie Catarrh a daily inhalation is recommended until a permanent cure is effeeted, 2 ae tee ae The Spray has also been found to have beneficial effects in cases of deafness caused by. cold, swelling under the jaw, or the closing of the Eustachian tube; also many have used it when there is weakness and inflammation of the eyes with much benefit, the first action of the diluted Acid being to cause a smarting sensation ; this soon passes away, __- leaving the eyes strengthened, soothed and relieved. The Spray is also used on the Forehead for Headaches, and the effects are both soothing and relieving. 5 This inhalation of the Spray may be taken several times a day, but always to advan- tage inthe morning, when there is a huskiness in the voice, or secretion of mucus in © — the throat or bronchial tubes, also before leaving the house for. exposure in the cold air. Bes : ; : eS The time required for inhalation may vary for a minute or two, as may be found — agreeable, as the action of the Spray on the mucous membrane will be to stimulate, and afterwards to soothe and give tone. : Sart . For Ministers, Missionaries, Public Speakers, and all who wish to SING with greater EASE and POWER of voice, the Acetic Spray will prove itself INVALUABLE, as it is the very requisite to give tone to the muscles, nerves, and the blood-vessels of the throat. Messrs. CoUTTS recommend the inhalation, in addition to the outward application, to nerve-centres and local parts, as the outward application can be PERMANENTLY — relied upon, whilst the Acetic Spray forms a valuable auxiliary. No one need be afraid ~ to try the OUTWARD application: or inward inhalation, as the vinegar used is of the — purest kind, and free from any poisonous quality. , ; =f Fg Should the Acetic Spray prove unpleasant to any person, a few drops of the essence. ~ of peppermint or cloves will change the flavour. ae ast = GENERAL SUGGESTIONS AS TO DIET. BREAD OR OATMEAL contain all the elements of the staple of life. : see ANIMAL Foop is found to be HEATING and STIMULATING, and should be partaken of SPARINGLY, not more than once a day. Fish is light and nourishing, and.may be — used more frequently. SENS iz a Serre as FARINACEOUS FOOD (such as corn, flour, sago, arrowroot, maccaroni, and rice) is nourishing, and better adapted for patients, whilst milk and eggs, when. these agree, may be freely used by the most delicate. ; - eg : VEGETABLES, such as peas, beans, lentils, also ripe fruits of all kinds, when found to_ agree, are very nourishing, and tend to sustain the system. = te) ALCOHOLIC STIMULANTS OF ALL KINDS should be avoidedas much as possible, as these’ ~~ only stimulate, but do not nourish the body, and they often tend to lower the system. ~ by reaction. In summer, a few drops of the Acetic Acid put into a tumbler of water will form a very refreshing beverage. Pixs, ~ “TOBACCO should be avoided, as its effects, though soothing, tend to weaken and deaden the nervous system. aa ee MEALS,—No more than three meals per day need be taken, and these at intervals of four to five hours, avoiding taking food as a rule late at night. ; NEW AGENTS. “ENERGETIC business men of respectability, who are desirous of becoming Agents where we are not represented, and who wish to make our system of Treatment known in their respective neighbourhoods, should communicate with us, enclosing at the same time: references, with full particulars; if these are found satisfactory, we will then communicate terms of Agency. We would also recommend that the same he done to - our representatives in the Colonies, or other parts where we have Wholesale Agents or” *Consignees, as by this means our Acid will be much more easily obtained, and will save -extra cost of carriage and risk of breakage. The prices may be had on application to~_ *the nearest Agent. ~ <= - ; yee ee
