Pgi'AlßA.—.Upon reviewing the catuingtle of
evils piroheed by Copaiba, it math ise fairly kslte.d theee
any one possessed of common prudence; '4 o would employ it?
Can any unprejudiced and cenS'eiehtleus person advise its use ?
Are we " to do harm that good mNy: come ?" any more in
physic than in neoeltlity, when too the Tiermer is certain, and the
latter more Win doubtful—for we must‘tiot forget that Copaiba
is as tirSceittain as it is injurious—at one time Appearing to sud-
denly check and overcome the disease,liirtil at another entirely
failing in producing either. It is also deeeptWo it regards the
permanency of the desired effect. The patient frequently re-
oicing in his supposed recovery, and in a few days, or even
hours, is sadly disappoieted by the return of his complaint with
renewed or increased virulence—the symptoms being much ag-
gravated by the consequent loss of timtsand the unequal action
of the eeedicine. It is now clearly the duty of the medical
rrofession to avoid and reprobate the use of a dreg Which has
to little to justify its administration, and thliah Le condemn it.
If such baneful effects as described sere to be attributed to
the pure Balsam of Oopaibp, It can be readily imagined how
ranch they are Iszer:tested by the adulterations daily practised,
being mixed with mercer less of turpentine, mastic e, eejected
castor and 'rape ails, &c., &c. It is to the ttniniated perfeetly
astonishing to what an extent this disgrefiful erect-ice estlieed,
mere especially since the nostrums Opted feet it have so
mach increased. It is frequently to be 4M-chased in this state
at retail druggists for less thin the cost price of the genuine
article—a strong proof Chet such must be factitious—indeed it
is a fact that tills natural production of South America is
actually mato in England. Not many years since the Sun ire
Office) refused to indemnify a party for loss by Fee, an the
ground that the premises had been used fol- li4aattlous purposes,
not expressed in the policy, nome!y, that of making Copaiba.
Such being the fact of the drug itself, the argument will, of
course, apply with rn'ore or less force to all preparations of or
from it, for to powerful are its injurious properties, and so closely
are they connected with those (if any) of a beneficial tendency,
that to abate the one is to annihilate the other. As existing
in nature, they arc allied ; and by such nicety of obetniessl
union, that to separate them is (by destroying the original prin-
ciple of combination)—to produce a most unhappy irestklt)
namely, an inert substance, and one still more acrd Witt the
drug in its natural state; one of these is prodeuted 'when de •
prived, or partially so, of its nauseous !tenet j to deprive it of
which is to separate the active printiple, and thus destroy all
chance of success from its use. Now, how is this known result
attempted to be avoided? fly incurring a still greater evil—
that of combining with it equally injurious, though more pala-
table, drugs, as Spanish 114 s, potash, stimulating gums, &c., which the origins! ;limas, is greatly aggravated and pro-
longed. In con:sitision—avoid, at all times, and under all dis•
guises, this pernicious and ever-adulterated drug ; suffer not
any one to persuade you to its use; withhold from your confi-
deeee the professional man who persists, contrary to reason and
experience, in prescribing it for you—for, be assured, sooner or
later, more or his, you will suffer from its baneful influence.
The Batennic Pills, prepared by Mr. Wray, 344, Strand,
and liolhorn-hill, 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 confinement nor al-
teration of diet (except abstinence from stimulants, where
considerable inflammation exists), and, as experience has
amply proved, they will effect a cure sooner than copaiba (the
dangerous results of which, ju the inflammatory stages, are
toe well known to need further comment), or any other me-
dicine in present use, and may be justly considered the only
safe and efficacious remedy in all stages of those disorders.
In addition to these advantages, the very convenient form in
which this invaluable preparation is effered to the public must
also be considered a desideratum.
