„ Thomas's Hospital, in a variety of cases of discharges in the
aisle and female, and the results warrant my stating that it is
an' efficacious remedy, and one which does not produce the
usual unpleasant effects of Copaiba.

From Alexander 1 weedie, Esq., Surgeon to the Metropolitan
free Hospital, Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields.
"My Dear Sir,—l have notes of six cases, in which I have
adMioistered your preparation of Copaiba, for the cure of Go-
torrhozea, in all of which the disease has been subdued in a shorter
Period of time than according to the ordinary plans hitherto
made use of. Besides those cases of which I have taken notes,
I have tried it in several instances at the Greville—treet Hos-
pital, and am quite satisfied that it possesses a control over the
urgent symptoms of Gonorrhoea, relieving the discharge and
mitigating the scalding in making water, that I have not ob-
served in the usual methods of exhibiting Copaiba. In one in-
stance only did it disagree with the stomach ; but in this it
Seemed to depend rather on the method of exhibition than on
the remedy itself, for on diluting it with a larger quantity of
water, the objection was at once obviated, and the patient got
well in ten days from the time that he commenced taking the
Medicine. I have not had a case in which the discharge con-
tinued longer than ten days after commencing this treatment.
" I am, dear Sir, your's very truly,
