COPAIBA ENTIRELY SUPERSEDED.
BALSAMIC PILLS, a certain, safe, and the most speedy
h
reined
y ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of gonor-
r_ma, gleets, strictures, seminal weakness, whites, pains in the loins, af.
fectiona of the kidneys, gravel, lumbago, local debility, irritation of the
bladder, or urethra, and other diseases of the urinary passages.
The unprecedented success that has attended the administration of these
PILLS, since they were made public, has acquired for them a sale more
extensive than any other proprietary medicine extant ; and the circum.
stance of their entirely obviating the necessity of having recourse to those
"gusting, nauseous, and, in many cases, highly injurious medicines
(as copaiba, cubebs. Sze.) has obtained for them a reputation unequalled in
the annals of medicine. Within three years prior to being advertised,
these Pills were employed in private practice in upwards of LEM cases,
raany of them most inveterate, and in many thousand cases since, and in
be one instance known to fail, or to produce those unpleasant symptoms
°° often experienced while taking copaiba, and that class of medicines
usually resorted to in these complaints. The proprietor pledges himself
that not one article of copaiba, either resin or balsam, cubebs, or any de.
;lezerious ingredient, enters their composition. Copaiba and cubebs have
'Lon i
g been-the most commonly employed medicines n the above complaints;
but, from the uncertainty in their effects, together with their utter inef-
lea°Y, in many cases, are fast declining in reputation : and from the un-
pleasant symptoms i'ivariably produced from taking copaiba, especially in
the early stage of the complaint, many of the most able modern practi-
tioners condemn it as dangerous, and a medicine not tlbe depended upon.
than `persons, after having suffered more from the effects of the remedy
the virulence of the disease, and after a patient but painful perseve-
rance, have been compelled to relinquish its use, the whole system having
become more or less affected, and the disease as bad, if not worse, than at
the commencement. As regards cubebs, it is true that those violent ef_
fects are not experienced as while taking copaiba; but they seldom effect
a cure, unless more active medicines are administered. The Balsamic
Pills are free from any 'of the above-objections; they act specifically on
the urinary passages; and, from their tonic properties, tend to strengthen
the system and improve the general health. They require neither con-
*nement nor alteration of diet (except abstinence from stimulants, where
considerable inflammation exists), and, as experience has Unply proved,
they will effect a cure sooner than copaiba (the dangerous results of which,
in the inflammatory stages, are too well known to need further comment)
or any other medicine in present use, and may be justly considered the
only safe and efficacious remedy in all stages of those disorders. In addi-
tion to these advantages, the very convenient form in which this in.
valuaWe preparation is offered to the public must also be considered
a desideratum.
