Superiine Yellow Bark.

THIS POWDER, consisting chiefly OF
the cxtractive mater and resinous poruon OF
the bark, wherein it's virtue as medicine Is
known to reside, is seperated IN degree
from the hard hbrous anu other useless parts
in manufacturing. 1t will, therefore, DC
found preferable, on account OF Its purify
strength, fneness, and the small quantity
required, to any other form in which the
bark has hitherto been generally used.
The superiority Of this bark will be Partl-
cs,larly manifest in the treatmenl OF those
diseases in which, on account OF an irritable
state Of the stomach and bowels, the requl>
site quantity ofthe imperfectly ground bark
in common use cannot be administered ana
as any of the watery or spirltaous prepafa-
tons are we'll known to be Intellectual IN ur-
gent cases, it is presumed that the preseat
orm will prove generally acceptable.
The proprietor thinks it unnecessary 10
offer any apology to those OF his medicai ore
thren to whom he is personally KNOWN "neh
he recommends to them in particular TINS
elegant powder of bark since many OF the"
have, in common with him, had SO frequent
and painful occasion, in the course OF long
nracticc, to depIore the want OF SO desirable
a form of u ing that inestimabie remedy; aud
50 fully is he assured Of its superior ethcacy'
from numerous proofs OF its effects, that ne
offers it to the faculty in general, without
fearing the imputation ofimpeosllon.
