The notable soothing and healing properties of VELOGEN make it of unique value in the care of the baby's tender skin.

Applied liberally after the baby's bath, it allays irritations, and ef- fectually prevents chafing, scalds, diaper rash, and the all too common skin discomforts of babyhood.

Thus in countless homes, hospitals and institutions VELOGEN has be- come a nursery essential.

CHRISTMAS GREETINGS ! Because the spirit of Christmas is fo?mded on the fact that the most

universal principle of life is the kinship of humanity, this thought causes the business world to pause and take inventory of the moral and spiritual values both social and commerciBl.

On Christmas Day we focus this spirit of Brotherhood; pettv differences vanish and a common ground of fraternity and fellowship touches our lives with broader values, and the urge of service.

This season, too, afords an opportunity to emphasixe these spiritual factors. Service, courtesy, and good will are each given their place and the warm personal touch of brotherhood invests us with a broader life.

In this spirit we join with you in the heartiest Holiday Greetings and look forward with you to a continuance of those happy relations which have made our business contact such a real pleasure.

THh' AMERICAN JO URNAL OF NURSING

A double series of tests, recently conducted to determine the laxative effect of Yeast, has revealed some surprising facts.

The subjects were isolated over a period of weeks, and fed accord- ing to a rigidly regulated scheme of diet. Examination of the bulk, moisture, and chemical constitu- ents of the feces was made from day to day. The findings showed that adding Fleischmann's Yeast to the diet in quantity of two to three cakes per day produced the following results:

A definite increase in the elimination of waste by the bowel. Increase both in the bulk of the feces and in their moisture content. A laxative effect more marked with the ordinarily consti-

pated subjects than with. the normal ones-indicating that yeast acts as a bowel regulator rather than a cathartic.

Further research work on both animal and human subjects is now under way. The Fleischmann Company is sponsoring these important investigations, a n d is anxious to give the full results to the medical profession as soon as possible after they are complete.

A new authoritative book: writ- ten by a physician for physicians. This brochure discusses ,t,,he manu- facture, physiology, chSstry,^and therapy of yeast. A copy wiII'be sent you free upon r e q u e s t. Please use coupon, addressing THE FLEISCHMANN COMPANY, Dept. L-12, 701 Washington Street, Nevf York, N. Y.

For Your Comfort and Your Patients' Comfort

Frostilla users claim remarkable results where it is used on superficial burns, or treatment of poison ivy, etc., but we make no claims for Frostilla Fragrant Lotion as a medicinal preparation. We do suggest it to you, a Frosttlla Fragrant nurse, as a means of quickly producing greater comfort for yourself and Lw°*e°e ttSf°trheleuntetyd your patients. States and Canada-

After long hours of duty your skin is drawn and tired. Give it a regularprtce35c. The gentle massabe with Frostilla Fragrant Lotion. Relaxation comes almost Flr0sttr11 immediately, the nerves and muscles are quickly freshened. Its delightful lished 1873. fragrance, a combination of the perfumes of many rare Sowers, appeals to all.

Frostilla Fragrant Lotion is a cooling, soothing massage for feverish patients. Applied to the skin and lips it brings quick comfort and induces rest. It is excellent for the tender skin of babies, preventing chafing and other skin discomforts. Many hospitals use Frostilla Fragrant Lotion, having tried and proven its merits in bringing comfort and greater ease to patients. Its dainty fragrance freshens the user wonderfully.

To keep your own skin charming in the face of winter conditions you will find that Frostilla Fragrant Lotion for chapped hands that come from winter weather and the nature of your work as a nurse, is incomparable. It will keep your face free from the effects of the wintry blasts and applied and massaged into the skin will greatly improve the complexion and take away that tired, used-up feelint, so often experienced in handling serious cases. Used regularlsr your skin will keep soft, smooth and white. As a base for face powder it has no equal.

THE causes of infant chafing are many and the results are

always annoying to the infant and those who are caring for it. You can't blame the little ones for getting fretful and restless when their tender skin is irritated. "Vaseline " Oxide of Zinc Oint- met is recommended highly by the medical profession for chafing. It is a pure, simple remedy

not only soothing but healing as well. Always have a tube or jar of it in your kit or cabinet and advise the use of it in the homes you visit. Your druggist carries it. HESEBROUGH M} G. CO

"----as long as

will last as long as I live." Axnong those few things is the

Sedgwick Hand Power Invalid Elevator.

Because we are building with the finest materials obtainable, guided by more than a quarter century's experience, we are able to produce an Invalid Elevator that endures as long as its owner has use for it.

It is also noteworthy that Sedgwick outfits require little or no attention, and often need no repairs or renewals during the entire life of the outfit.

Surely this is the sort of elevator which you can most con- scientiously recommend to your patient.

Sedgwick Invalid Elevators

Built in rigid accord wit-h the theory that the best is none too good, and is not only cheapest in the end but the most satisfactory always. During 30 years SEDGWICK has stood for su- periority of design, material and work- manship in Hand Power Dumbwaiters and Elevators. Your patient will ap- preciate the considerate spirit that pe-ompts you to tell him about Sedg- wick Invalid Elevators.
