ELIXIR BROMIDE SODIUM. 
We ask the attention of Physicians and Apothecaries to the 
advantages claimed for Bromide Sodium over the Bromides of 
Potassium and Ammonium. 
The taste, when perfectly pure and free from Iodine, is almost 
identical with that of common Salt, which being familiar to all and 
disagreeable to few, will recommend it to patients to whom the 
taste of the other Bromine combinations are specially unpleasant. 
Having Soda as its alkaline base, it is more readily absorbed 
into the system—more quickly assimilated, and consequently acts 
more directly upon the animal economy than any Salt of Potassa 
can do. Physicians, who have experimented with it, claim that its 
continued use does not occasion the irritation of the stomach and 
nausea often produced by Bromide Potassium. Neither have 
they found the same tendency to produce redness of the skin, 
external irritation and eruption. This Bromide, weight for weight, 
contains about eleven per cent, more Bromine than the Bromide 
Potassium $ a fact which should be borne in mind in its application. 
So similar is it in taste to common Salt, that it may be given 
in the patient’s food, in flavoring soup, &c., See., without detection. 
We manufacture this Salt with special care for medicinal use, 
which we offer to the trade at a cost but little in excess of that 
charged for Bromide Potassium. 
We also prepare an Elixir, which is an elegant and agreeable 
mode of administering it} each teaspoonful or fluid drachm of 
which represents five grains of the Bromide Sodium.
