habitual  constipation,  and  in  dyspeptic  complications.  It  has  been  proven  in  repeated 
trials  to  be  one  of  the  most  pleasant  and  reliaHe  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.

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,

true  Berberis  Aquifolium.

combination  with  Yerba  Santa  it  has  also  been  found  specially  efficacious  in  bronchial 
affections.  While  the  general  verdict  is  largely  in  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  this  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  hence  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.

plaints justifies  us  in  predicting  for  it  an  important  place  among  the  new  standard  reme- 
dies.   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.

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.
