In the March issue ot the K. M. .hiunial ol Cnicmnali in tlie advni-tisinc pages

WE A S S E « T 



That the published analysis is not correct. 



That Ijloyd's Hydrastis as I'ouud in original bottles is rich in the peculiar 

 White Alkaloid of Hydrastis. 



It only contains siitdi constituents as are derived from Hydrastis root, and 

 every pound sold lias been iiianafactured from Hydrastis alone without the 

 addition of any substance whatever, excepting' the solvents. 



We grant that il contains inorganic comiiounds, buttbey are derived from 

 hydrastis root, and are necessary components of any preparation that repre- 

 sents the medicinal action of the drusr. 



When the process was discovered by us we submitted it hi confidence to tlie 

 Chairman of the United States Pharmacopteial Committee, 



OHAS. RIOE of New York 



Than whom there is perhaps none more eminent in scholarship. On the publica- 

 tion of this recent alleged analysis, he writes : " hi the very beginning when 

 Lloyd's Hydrastis was first put on the market, I was then fully aware what the 

 preparation contained, so that the announcement now that it contains inorganic 

 compounds is nothing new to mo. I have know the whole process for several 

 years, and Mr. Lloyd in Ids first communication showed that the presence of these 

 compounds were an absolute necessity. iMy judgement tells me that Mr. Lloyd 

 has acted honorably and honestly during all this period, re,serving only that which 

 could legitimately be classed under the head of business secrets, but placing every- 

 thing else at the disposal of the public." 



PROF. L. E. SAYRE, 



(l^rofessor of Pharmacy and Materia Modica, Dean of department of Pharmacy, 

 Kansas State University, writes under recent date : Lloyd submitted to me 



tiie process by which it was produced about the time the preparation a|)peared. 

 I desire to state that the process is entirely different from any knovvn, and gives a 

 product dift'erent from that made by any other method printed The inorganic 

 salts that it contains are the result of manipulation and not admix-ture. They are 

 obtained from hydrastis root, and these components are not present in any other 

 preparation of the plant that is known to me." 



Physicians and pharmacists who have honored us with their patronage and 

 confidence, need have no fears but that we can demonstrate in any way necessary, 

 that no misrepresentations have been made by us regarding the merits, constitu- 

 ents, or source of Lloyd's Hydrastis.
