Photographic reproductions of two typical Antikamnia advertisements now appearing in newspapers all over the country. These tablets are advertised in various newspapers as being “safe” and neither “depressant” nor “habit-forming”—three separate and distinct falsehoods.
The first two points have already been discussed so frequently that it seems hardly worth while to take them up again in detail, though it might be said that the medical profession has at last become so familiar with this widespread humbug that the Antikamnia Chemical Company has finally gone over body and soul to the newspapers. So far as we can learn only three publications professing to be medical journals still carry the Antikamnia advertisement. These three are:
| Southern Practitioner | Pacific Medical Journal |
| Therapeutic Record |
As is usual in such cases, the British medical journals are not so particular, and we still find Antikamnia advertised in:
| Medical Press and Circular | Lancet |
| Glasgow Medical Journal | Canada Lancet |
| Journal Tropical Medicine and Hygiene | Practitioner |
| Dublin Journal Medical Science |
The reproduction of the McIntyre quotation is evidently adopted by the Antikamnia concern as a means of “playing even” with The Journal for the unpleasant things it has said about it. In quoting Dr. McIntyre, the Antikamnia Chemical Company carefully avoids giving the date on which the article appeared. As a matter of fact, the article was printed in The Journal over twenty years ago (July 4, 1891), and Dr. McIntyre himself has been dead for eleven years. Presumably, however, the Antikamnia Chemical Company will continue to mislead, either directly or by inference, until the end of the chapter.—(From The Journal A. M. A., April 12, 1913.)
