Superine Yellow Bark.

THIS POWDER, consisting chiefly of
the extractive matter and reslnous portion OF
the bark, wherein Its virtue as medicine is
known to reside, is separated in degree
from the hard h5rous and other useless parts
in manufacturing. 1t will, therefore, be
ound preferable, on account OF Its purity,
strength, fineness, and the small quantity
REQUIRED, to any other 70: m in which the
bark has hitherto been generally used.
The superiority Of this bark Will BE part
cularly manifest in the treatment OF these
diseases in which, On account oil al irritable
state of the stomach and bowels, the IcquI-
site quantity Of the imperfectiy ground bark
in common use canaot be administered and
as any Of the watery or sPiriiaous prepara-
tons are weli.known 70 be Intellectual IN ur-
gent cases, it is presumed that the present
form will 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
elegan, powder ofbark /; since many OF them
have, in common with him, had SO frequent
and painful occasion, in the tou.se of long
practice, to deplore the want of so desirable
a form of using that inestimabie remedy and
so fully is he assured of It's superior efficacy,
from numerous proofs OF its effects, that he
offers it to the faculty in general, without
fearing the imputation ofimposition.
