decided cure. As an emmenagogue in amenorrhoGa 

 and chlorosis, its effects have been beyond all con- 

 ception. In one case of chlorosis, where the cata- 

 menia had been absent eleven months, in another 

 of amenorrhoea of eighteen months, and where the 

 patient had been confined to bed for months, expec- 

 torating pus and blood, had hectic fever, cold 

 clammy perspiration at night, complete loss of appe- 

 tite, and was given up as altogether hopeless, Hyra- 

 ceum effected a complete cure, for she has now for 

 years continued fat and plump, and menstruates 

 regularly. 



In all cases where Castoreum is recommended, I 

 have found Hyraceum far preferable as an anti- 

 spasmodic ; in hysteria itself, it is invaluable.
