NEW  REMEDIES. 
0 O  ^  *-v**%«  J  ^     We  have  a  large  supply  of  this  valuable  remedy,  which 
/d.NPin.  I  H,    j^H.Prn.fl  0     we  know  to  be  genuine,  in  the  form  of  fluid  extract,  and 
VU/X  U>    IVJUJgpl  U>VXl/(   are  prepared  to  fiu  orders  for  any  amount.   This  drug 
is  undoubtedly  one  of  the  most  important  additions  to  the  Materia  Medica,  and  is  indi- 
cated particularly  in  habitual  constipation,  aud  in  dyspeptic  complications.   It  has  been 
proven  in  repeated  trials  to  be  one  of  the  most  pleasant  and  reliable  laxatives  known  to 
the  practitioner.   False  varieties  of  this  drug  are  undoubtedly  in  the  market,  and  we  caution 
our  friends  against  using  any  of  this  preparation  but  what  bears  our  firm  name  and  capsule. 
B_    "L  _     '  ^     A  'XV^l  '  _  This,  perhaps  the  most  valuable  of  the  list  of 
ti  V  MR  rl  N  A  (III  1  TO  ill  iM  indigenous  medicines,  was  first  introduced  by 
\J1  UUllO  X^\^U.XXVXXU.1XX.  U8  The  profession  have  long  sought  in  vain 
for  a  remedy  combining  tonic  as  well  as  alterative  properties.  This  preparation  combines 
both  in  a  marked  degree,  and  has  been  proven  by  repeated  trials  to  be  a  sure  remedy  in 
syphilis,  salt  rheum,  tubercular  affections,  psoriasis,  and  all  complaints  occasioned  by  a  viti- 
ated state  of  the  blood.  Physicians  who  have  been  disappointed  in  the  results  obtained  from 
the  use  of  other  preparations  should  not  condemn  the  remedy  until  our  extract  has  been  tried, 
as  many  spurious  varieties— notably  the  Oregon  grape  plant— are  being  extensively  sold  for  the 
true  Berberis  Aquifolium.

Tl  II  n  Pi  II  t\  nil  nil  fsl.H  titioners  who  have  used  our  preparation  have  found 
X  Xxj.v1V1J.Uj  X.bUkSU.UUUJi  it  to  be  of  great  value  in  most  of  the  cases  tried.  In 
combination  with  Yerba  Santa  it  has  also  been  found  specially  efficacious  in  bronchial 
affections.  While  the  general  verdict  is  largely  iu  its  favor,  still  some  have  been  disap- 
pointed in  its  use.  In  these  cases  it  was  probably  owing  to  the  fact  that  the  supply  of  the 
drug  was  not  genuine.  It  is  a  well-known  fact  that  many  of  the  varieties  of  thia  family  bear  so 
close  a  resemblance  to  each  other  that  botanists  distinguish  between  them  only  with  great  diffi- 
culty, and  the  Squarrosa  and  other  varieties  are  henc«  often  unwittingly  substituted  for  the 
Robusta.  Our  own  supply  is  gathered  for  us  under  the  direction  of  a  competent  botanist,  and  is 
therefore  known  to  be  genuine.

\JX  hs \AJ  xvv  \A.  ill  \Mt   implies  flowering  or  flux  herb.   It  nas  as  yet  been  tested  only 
locally  in  catarrh,  gonorrhoea,  leueorrhsea  and  catarrhal  ophthalmia.   The  success  which 
it  has  met  with  in  these  complaints  justifies  us  in  predicting  for  it  an  important  place 
among  the  new  standard  remedies.    We  trust  that  our  professional  brethren  will  favor  us 
with  the  results  of  its  use  in  other  kindred  diseases  in  which  its  administration  would  seem  to 
be  indicated.

periodics  have  proved  futile,  this  remedy  has  been  found  very  efficacious.   In  combination 
with  hydrastis  it  has  been  found  an  excellent  tonic  in  depraved  condition  of  the  digestive 
apparatus,  increasing  the  biliary  secretions  and  acting  as  a  stimulant  to  the  excretory 
organs.   In  fevers,  in  combination  with  gelsemium,  and  in  derangement  of  the  biliary  organs  in 
conjunction  with  leptrandrin  and  podophyllin  it  seems  to  increase  the  action  of  those  agents.

() I (] f)     used  by  the  ratives  of  that  country. 
Its  therapeuticul  properties  are  best  seen  in  glennorrhagia,  chronic 
catarrh  of  the  bladder,  hepatic  abscesses  and  atony  of  the  digestiue  organ,  in  all  of  which 
diseases  it  has  afforded  great  benefit.   Dr.  Chas.  A.  Zaremba,  member  of  the  Sociedad 
Medica,  Santiago  de  Chila,  is  enthusiastic  in  its  praise,  and  pronounces  it  one  of  the  most 
important  of  the  recent  additions  to  our  materia  medica.
