This is a most efficient medicine in cases of gravel. It breaks 

 up and disunites all calcareous deposit in the kidney, ureters, 

 urethra, and bladder, and removes it by micturition. It is a sure 

 preventive wherever the predisposition exists, but when the stone 

 is fairly formed, particularly if of oxalate of lime, little more can 

 be done than to alleviate symptoms and prevent its further 

 progress. J. Skelton, Sen., M.D.
