.MOSITHLY slsanott.—" When it is considered, that this
valuable work, upon one of the most important subjects
that can engrg t the investigation and pel of the medi-
cal practitioner, has undergone a ninth Oition. it will be
admitted, that the public fits not been inattentive to its me-
rits.. The object of this little treatise is, to recommend the
use of Cowhare, er Cowitch, (the Dolichos Proriens of
Linnseor,) Is a powerfUl and stkvermibige. Thelogenioas
writer. has conipressed • great deal of hippy valeable mat,
ter Into a small compass; and we should not be delay ours
duty, Were We Sol strongly to /*contused:l it to _the flutists
notice of the public."—Jan. ISO, page tl.
Ecnecric RAIIIEW.—" Whoever contributes to the dimi-
nution of human misery, is deservedly reckoned among the
benefactors of mankind. Tye proranlcatlon made by the
author, of the efficacy of the Dolichos Pruribes, in removing
one of the common, and often most dangerous, diseases,
especially of infancy and poverty, appears to be a well es-
tablished fact. Medicine must have the test of experience.
The very respectable attestations of this Simple, from medi-
cal men of the first eminence, stamps confidence on the Cow-
hags, or Cowitch, i • vermicular complaints. A ninth
edition of the pamphlet shows that it has engaged very gene-
ral attention, as indeed it deserves, If this plant be found
alike efficacious in destroying all the various kinds of worms
which breed In the human body: We very earnestly re-
commend thb use of this medicine, so innocent, so easily
taken, and apparently so efficacious, anti we cordially
thank Mr. Chareberlaine for making it thus universally
known, and not concealing it as a nostrum."—May,
page 360.
L, USIVESSAL MAGAZINE.—" This is a small tract, but of
sufficient importance, in society to deserve notice. The
, health of no interesting portion of every generation is can-
eerned in the well understanding and judic'ous treatment of
this disease, so common to children. We have, besides,
lately heard of the fatal effects of a Worm Medicine, too
i•
generally and too indiscriminately given. • • * • • Calomel,
land other preparations of Mercury, are general had recourse
to ; and such powerful medicines more frequently do haroi
than good.—ln describing the symptoms of worms. Mr. C.
deserves to be well attended to ; for, as there is no pathog-
nomic sign of them, (seeing them, or parts of them, is alone
a certainty.) those diagnostics most strongly denoting their
presence must be attended to. In fact, there is not a sytnp-
torn, indleutlve of worms, which may not be experienced by
other disorders ; and this the writer, with proper candour,
acknowledges himself.—Under this certainty, then, what
can we do better, than prescribe that vermifuge medicine
which, if our conjectures are right, will remove the dis-
ease? and, if we are not mistaken, will neith 2 aggravate
the ill, nor expose the sufferer to new maladies and dangers.
Under this view of the case, we can safely refer the afflicted,
or their friends, to the perusal of the work before us, and
the authelmintic course it points out."—Nley. ISU3, p. 447.
Itionvirby Iteyrew.—" The present edition of this use-
ful publication contains a more simple description of intes-
tinal worms, with their symptoms and causes, than was giv-
en in the former impressions. The Author's high opinion of
the efficacy of the Stizolobium in the removal of worms, is
confirmed by the testimonials of various respectable practi-
tioners, and by several cases which camo under his obser-
vations, or that of his correspondents, and which are in-
serted in his hook. Ile appears to be eindid and judi-
cious ; ani it is fair for him to add, that he prefers selection
front the very numerous case.; which have been communicated
to him, display inn the great effects derived from Cowhage
within the last twenty ',tars, to any thing like indiscriminate
publication."—June, 1805.
