"The Alkaloidal Clinic" was a medical journal, not a clinic. It was "A Monthly Journal Devoted to Accuracy in Therapeutics, with Practical Suggestions Relating to the Clinical Application of the Same." The editor and publisher was Dr. Wallace C. Abbott. Abbott also had a pharmaceutical company in Chicago, Abbott Alkaloidal Co., which became Abbott Laboratories in 1914. Abbott is a major pharmaceutical company today.
