NEW  REMEDIES 
RECENTLY  INTRODUCED  BY  US. 
RHKISk  AROIUf  ATI  OA  H'gh,y  recommended  in  ihe  treatment  of  diabetes  and  other 
llllwv?  nllvllln  I  lUni  diseases  of  the  genitourinary  organs,  viz.:  Hematuria 
ennreis  (in  both  old  and  young),  uterine  hemorrhage  and  as  local  application  in  leucorrhoea, 
also  in  atonic  diarrhoea  avid  dysentery,  and  more  especially  summer  di*ea>es  of  children. 
See  Article  by  Dr.  McClanahan  in  the  April  number  of  New  Preparations. 
We  offer  this  new  remedy  in  the  form  of  a  fluid  extract  from  the  fn-sn  bark  of  the  »oot. 
mi  IH  PAHflRA  JACARANDA  PROCERA  (Sprengel).  This  new  drug,  from  Brazil, 
rULIA  uAnUDffcl  is  now  a'tracting  the  attention  of  the  profession  in  Germany  as  a 
valuable  and  effective  anti-syphilitic.  It  is  said  to  possess  alterative,  diuretic,  sudorific  and  tonic 
properties,  to  a  marked  degree,  especially  in  the  latter  particular.  Hence  its  application  to  the 
treatment  of  syphilis,  in  all  its  forms. 
The  Carobse  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. 
PAQPADA  CAf*DAftA  RHAMNUS  PURSHIANA.  This  is  the  bark  of  a  tree 
VAOuMnA  OAUnAUAl  indigenous  to  northern  California  and  Oregon,  known 
botanically  as  the  Rhamuus  Purshiana.  It  has  long  been  used  on  the  Pacific  Coast  among  the 
Indians  and  old  Spanish  residents,  as  a  remedy  for  habitual  constipation,  and  other  disorders  of 
the  alimentary  canal.  Many  physicians  write  to  us  tnat  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  **  p,  J}t  &  CO.'S  " 
if  they  desire  a  preparation  of  the  true  drug,  Rhamnus  Purshiana. 
ft  ATA  p  AD  If  The  tree  from  which  this  bark  is  derived  is  a  native  of  Brazil  and 
UU  I  U  DAIflVl  Bolivia,  though  as  yet  we  cannot  locate  it  botanically.  Coto  Barn  was  first 
tested  clinically  by  Prof.  Gietl,  of  Munich  (Germany),  who  considered  it  a  specific  for  diarrhoea  in 
its  various  forms.  Dr.  Riecker,  of  Stuttgnrt,  concurred  in  this.  Prof.  Bates,  of  Tokio,  Japan,  in  the 
Cenlralblatt,  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  employed  in 
the  sweating  phthisis  and  typhus,  catarrhal  diarrhoea,  gastric  catarrh,  pneumonia,  uterine, 
colic,  acute  articular  rheumatism,  cholera,  cholera  morbus,  dyeentary,  night  sweats,  etc. 
CIVC    ClflUICDCn    PCklTIAkl     GENTIANA  QU^QUEFLORA.     Among  the 
rlWC  rLuffrnC&l  UCnilAril  many  substitutes  for  quinine,  this  plant  is  one 
of  the  most  valuable,  in  many  ca  es  where  quinine  ?<nd  other  anti-periodics  have  pioved  futile 
this  remedy  has  been  found  efficacious.  In  combination  with  hydrastis,  it  has  been  found  an 
excellent  tonic  in  depraved  conditions  of  the  digestive  apparatus,  increasing  the  biliary  secre- 
tions and  acting  as  a  stimulant  to  the  excretory  organs.  In  fevers,  in  combination  with  gelse- 
mium,  and  in  derangement  of  the  biliary  organs  in  conjunction  with  leptandrin  and  podophyllin, 
it  seems  to  increase  the  action  of  those  agents. 
CDIMRLI  I  A  DHD8IOTA  This  remedy  has  been  successfully  employed  in  asthma, 
tllllrlULLlA  nUDUd  I  Al  bronchial  difficulties,  iritis,  vaginitis  and  other  diseases 
of  the  mucous  surfaces.  In  combination  with  Yerba  Santa  it  has  also  been  found  specially 
efficacious  in  bronchial  affections.  It  is  well  known  that  many  of  the  varieties  of  this  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  for  the  robusta.  Our  own 
supply  is  gathered  for  us  under  the  direction  of  a  competent  botanist,  and  is  known  to  be  genuine. 
RF^R£IHQ  AfllSfFfftl  EIIM  The  profession  have  long  sought  in  vain  for  a  remedy 
UB.II  IPbllftV  M^Uil  WfclUlfBB  combining  tonic  as  well  as  alterative  properties.  '1  his 
pieparation  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  vitiated  state  of  the  blood.  Physicians  should  not  condemn  the  remedy  until  our  extract 
has  been  tried,  as  many  spurious  varieties— notably  the  Oregan  grape  plant— are  being  exten- 
sively sold  for  the  true  Berberis  Aquifolium.
