The more valuable a medicine is, the simpler and less com- 
plicated is its exhibition. In the bark of the Yallhoy we have 
this advantage, because, to ensure its good effects, it is not ne- | 
cessary to mix or combine it with other simples or compounds, 
which might perhaps alter, lessen, or destroy its virtues, as is 
proved with respect to the Yallhoy, as well as other power- 
ful remedies, especially the styptic of Ratanhia already mention- 
ed, which operates alone with greater efficacy in bloody fluxes, 
than when mixed with the different astringents which it has been 
the practice of some Physicians, perhaps unnecessarily, to add 
to it. Therefore, until this matter shall be further illustrated 
by experience, I propose for the dispensation of this new remedy 
the following formule :—
