THE  ALTERATIVE. 
ELIXIR  IODO  BROMIDE  OF  CALCIUM  COMP. 
This  medicine,  since  its  introduction  several  years  since,  has  been  used  by 
the  Profession  in  so  diversified  a  number  of  diseases  with  such  uniform  success 
as  to  rank  it  among  the  most  potent  alterative  and  anti-scrofulous  remedies  in 
use.  So  many  cases  have  been  reported  by  Physicians  where  it  has  signally 
asserted  its  therapeutic  properties  that  they  regard  it  as  a  remedy  of  superior 
potency  and  one  on  which  they  can  rely  to  subdue,  especially,  that  class  of 
chronic  cases  of  scrofulous  diathesis  which  the  ordinary  approved  means  so 
often  fail  to  reach  ;  and  also  in  many  instances  successfully  to  combat  those 
pathological  conditions  on  which  a  very  large  number  of  cutaneous  affections 
depends.  Its  action  upon  the  lymphatic  glandular  system  causing  the  reduc- 
tion or  absorption  of  glandular  and  other  tumors  has  been  well  attested. 
This  preparation  possesses  all  the  desired  advantages  requisite,  as  a  prompt 
and  efficient  alterative,  tonic  and  anti -scrofulous  remedy,  particularly  indicated 
in  ulcerated  and  diseased  membranes,  caries  of  bones,  etc.  (as  may  be  readily 
conceived  by  reference  to  its  component  parts.)  This  agent  is  found  to  be 
eminently  qualified  to  benefit  this  type  of  disease,  and  is  doubtless  one  of  the 
most  reliable  internal  and  constitutional  remedies. 
Physicians  confidently  advise  its  exhibition  in  that  type  of  diseases  which 
become  amenable  only  to  alterative  measures,  and  have  found  it  a  happy 
agent  to  combat  Piles,  Facial  Neuralgia,  Catarrh,  Caries,  Necrosis  and  Abscesses 
in  scrofulous  subjects.
