Sult,nne Yellow Bark.

THIS POWDER, consisting chiefly of
the cXtractive matter and resinuus portion OF
the bark, wherein its virtue as medicine is
known to reside, is separated in degree
from the hard hbrous and other useless parts
in manufacturing. 1t will. therefore, be
found preferable, on account OF its purity,
required, to any other form in which the
bark has hitherto been generally used
The superiority Of this bark will be parti-
cularly manifest in the treatment of those
diseases in which, on account of an irritable
state of the stomach and bowels, the rcqui~
site quantity of the imperfectly ground bark
in common use cannot be administered and
as any of the watery or spirlteou; prepara-
tons are we'll known to be inefiect,Ia in ur-
gent cases, it is presumed that the present
form vii! prove generally acceptable.
The proprietor thinks it unnecessary to
offer any apology to those of his medical bre.
thren to whom he is personally known, when
he recommends to them in particular this
elegant powder ofbark !; since many of them
have, in common with him, had so frequent
and painful occasion, in the course of long
practice, to deplcre the want Of so desirable
a form OF using that inestimabie remedy and
so fully is he assured of its superior efficacy,
from numerous proofs Of its effects, that he
offers it to the faculty in general, without
fearing the imputation ofimposition.
