This light and pleasant Farina is one of the most excellent,
nourshing, and restorative remedies, and supersedes, in many cases.
all kinds of mei-it:es. It is particularly useful In confined habit of
body. as in diarrhoea, bowel complaints, affections of the kidneys
and bladder, such as stone or gravel; inflammatory irritation and
cramp of the urethra, cramp of the kidneys and bladder. and
hemorrhoids This really invaluable remedy is employed with the
most satisfactory result, not only in bronchial and pulmonary come
plaints, where irritation and pain are to be removed, but also in pul-
monary and bronchial consumption, in which it counteract s effectu ally
the troublesome cough ; and I am enabled with perfect truth to ex-
press the conviction, that Do Barry's Revalenta Arable% is adapted
