Extract from The synopsis of DR.. Phelps
Compound Tomato Pills. as contained in
the ".Medicat Ermniner,'' of august last:
ssTENHESE Pills having been fully aud ex-
n tensively tested 10 private practice by
the inventor, aud also by several emiuent ply
scians, in all diseases depending upon impure
ties of the blood, morbid secretions of the eto-
mach and liver, and all kinds of instructions;
likewise as q substitute for Calonlel, for ca
thartic in bilious aections--arc now offered to
the public, rs one of the most important and
useful discoveries ever made; the use and ben
elits of which are secured TO the proprietor by
right of patent.
The extraordinary virtues ofthese pills, in
great degree, depend upon a ncic and hitherto
unknown Vegetable Principle, which wus,
after laborio1s investigation, discovered and
first used as medicine by the author of these
pills; and from its being first obtained from tho
Tomato Plant, he has denominated TOMA-
TINE. Subsequent analysis has shown that
this new substance, whose operation is found
TO be So salutary and purifying to the system,
and particularly in Scrofuia, Consumption,
and all disorders arising from impurities ofthe
Blood; is slightly contained in some other
plants yet it is entirely ne,o as a medicine,
having been brought TO light by the expert
ments of the patentee of these Pills on the To-
mato, and by him first introduced as a medicine.
This plant, from its peculiar properties, has
often attracted the attention Of the public 81
well as the medical professions; and lively in
terest has long been directed to the future de-
| yeopment of its active powers, the occasional
cures, which were said TO have been effected
by the use of the fruit for food; and the popu-
lar opinion entertained Of its anti-biiious aud
alteratiue qualities; in some sections of
own and other countries, gave the first impulse
to that investigation and analysis Of the plant
which resulted in discovering and concentrat-
| ing this new principle, upon which its activity
as a remedy depends. This was found upon
trial in some cases of scrolula and glanduar
diseases, to exert a most powerful and salutsry
influence, far exceeding the most sanguine ex-
pectations. Later and more extended and
observation has proved il to be peculiarly APP
plicable to all diseases arising from impurities
of The BLOOD, indigestion, inflammation,
obstrtctions, &c.
A happy combination of the Tomatue with
other substances which have been found to
modify and difiuse its effects, compose the
"Compound Tomato Pills." remedy which
is adapted to all cases, and at all times where
functions do not perform their natural or
healthy action.
i Unlike most other medicines, il is not pois-
onous in any quantity; an over dose producing
only cathartic efiect-but never under any
circumstances producing inflammation or dis
ease, but always exerting strengthening
and purifying effect from the beginning Of
their use to the end thereof.
For ordinary physic for family use, these

&c.-and should be kept by every family WIN

VICTIMS TO the grave, originate in scRoFu-
LoUs CONSTITUTION, or gandular and capillary
