NEW  REMEDIES 
RECENTLY  INTRODUCED  BY  US. 
RHU^t  ARflM  ATIP  A  Highly  recommended  in  the  treatment  of  diabetes  and  other 
IIIIUw  MIIVITIM  I  IwHl  diseases  of  the  genitourinary  organs,  viz.:  Hematuiia, 
ennreisOn  t  oth  o'd  find  young),  uteiine  h<morrh*ge  and  as  local  application  in  leucorrhcea  , 
also  in  atonic  o  iarrhcei  a-  d  dvsentery,  and  more  especially  summer  di-ea-es  of  childreu. 
See  A •  tide  by  Dr.  McClanahan  in  the  April  number  of  New  Preparations. 
We  offer  this  new  remedy  in  the  form  of  a  fluid  extract  Irom  the  frtsti  bark  of  the  Foot, 
mi  I A  TADnHA  JAOARANDAPROCERA(Sprengel).  This  new  drug,  from  Brazil, 
I  ULIA  uAltUv/hi  is  now  a  trading  the  attention  of  ihe  profession  in  Germany  as  a 
valuable  and  effective  auu->yphilitic.  It  is  >aid  to  possess  alterative,  diuretic,  sudorific  and  tonio 
properties,  to  a  marked  degree,  especially  in  the  latter  particular.  Hence  its  application  to  the 
treatment  of  syphilis,  in  all  its  forms. 
The  Carobi©  may  be  continued  advantageously  with  Iodide  Potassium  in  cases  distinguished 
by  pains  in  the  limbs.  It  is  indicated  in  the  cure  of  old  syphilitic  ulcers,  to  which  it  may  be 
applied  topically. 
PACPADA  C  APD  Aft  A  RFTAMNU3  PURSHIANA.  This  is  the  bark  of  a  tree 
uAOOAltA  OAlSilMUAt  indigenous  to  northern  California  and  Oregon,  known 
botanieally  as  the  Rhamnus  Purshiana.  It  ha-  long  been  used  on  the  Pacific  Coa^t  among  the 
Indians  and  old  Spanish  residents,  ^s  arem°dy  for  habitual  cons'ipation,  and  other  disorders  of 
the  alimentary  canal.  Many  p  ysicians  write  to  us  that  they  must  have  the  Cascara  at  any  price, 
as  it  has  proved  invaluable  in  their  practice. 
We  cannot  too  strongly  caution  physicians  and  druggists  to  specify  **  PM  J>,  &  CO.'S  99 
if  they  desire  a  preparation  of  the  ti ut  drug,  Rhamnus  Purshiana. 
it  fITfl  DARI/  ine  tree  from  wn,cn  tr,is  bark  is  derived  is  a  native  of  Brazil  and 
ll U  I  U  DAnl\l  Bolivia,  though  as  yet  we  cannot  locate  it  botanieally.  Coto  BarK  was  first 
tested  clinical  iy  by  Pi  of.  Gietl,  of  Munich  (Germany),  who  considered  it  a  specific  for  diarrbrjea  in 
its  various  forms.  Dr.  Riecker,  of  Stuttg-rt,  concurred  in  this.  Prof.  Bates,  of  Tokio.  Japan,  in  the 
Centralblait.  recommends  it  for  malignant  cholera.  In  Bolivia  it  is  used  for  diarrhoea,  colic  and 
neuralgic  toothache,  and  externally  in  rheumatism  and  gout.  It  has  been  also  t-mployed  in 
the  sweating  phthisis  and  typhus,  catarrhal  diarrhoea,  gastric  catarrh,  pneumonia,  uterine, 
colic,  acute  articular  rheumatism,  cholera,  cholera  morbus,  dysentary,  night  sweats,  etc. 
CIVC  El  nWERCn  ftEKITIAN  GENTIANA  QUINQUEFLORA.  Among  the 
rifC  rLvTftlll.il  Utll  I  IMrlg  muny  substitutes  for  quinine,  this  plant  is  one 
of  the  cio.*t  valuable.  Jn  many  c  a  es  where  quinine  i  nd  othei  anti  periodics  have  p.  oved  futile 
this  remedy  has  been  found  efficacious.  In  combination  with  hyorastis,  it  has  be*  n  found  an 
excellent  tonic  in  depraved  conditions  of  the  digestive  app  iratus,  increasing  ttie  biliary  secre- 
tions and  acting  as  a  stimulant  to  ihe  exc* etory  organs.  In  fevers,  in  combination  with  g^lse- 
mium,  and  in  derangement  of  the  biliary  organs  in  conjunction  with  leptandiin and  podophyllin, 
it  seems  to  increase  the  action  of  those  agents. 
PDIklftl.1  I  A  DHDIiCTA  This  remedy  has  been  successfully  employed  in  asthma, 
QnlnllLL I A  nUDUO  I  At  bronchial  difficulties,  iritis,  vaginitis  and  other  diseases 
01  the  mucous  sui laces.  In  combination  with  Yerba  fanta  it  ha*  also  been  fcund  specially 
efficacious  in  bronchial  affections.  It  is  well  known  that  many  of  the  varieties  of  ihis  family 
bear  so  close  a  resemblance  to  each  other  that  it  is  difficult  to  distinguish  between  them  and 
Squarrosa,  and  other  varieties  are  hence  often  unwittingly  substituted  f<r  the  lobusta.  our  own 
supply  is  gathered  for  us  under  the  direction  of  a  competent  botanist,  and  is  known  to  be  genuine. 
RFPRI-RIQ  AniliFfll  HIM  The  profession  have  long  sought  in  vain  for  a  remedy 
DLIiULniv  MyUll  VklUlfll  combining  tonic  as  well  as  alterative  properties.  J  his 
pieparation  combines  uoth  in  a  marked  degree,  and  ha*  been  proven  by  repealed  trials  to  be  a 
sure  remedy  in  syphilis,  salt  rheum,  tubercular  affections,  psoriasis,  and  all  complaints  occasioned 
by  a  vitiated  s  ate  of  the  blood.  Phssicians  should  not  condemn  the  remedy  until  .  ur  extract 
has  been  tried,  as  many  spurious  varieties— notably  the  Cretan  grape  plant — aie  being  eaten, 
sively  sold  for  the  true  Berberis  Aquifolium.
