Ertracl from the Synopsis Of Dr. Phelps
Compound Tomato Pills" as contained ~
he ".Medical Examiner" of august last:
ssYENHESE Pills having been fully and ex-
IL tensivelv tested in private practice oy
the inventor and also by several eminent phy-
scians, 10 all diseases depending upon impur-
ties of the blood, morbid secretions oil the sto-
mich and liver, and all kinds of distractions;
likewise as o substitute for Catomet, for ca
thartic id bilious a1ecions-are now offered to
the public, as one of the most important and
useful discoveries ever made; the use and ben
efts OF which are secured to the proprietor by
right Of patent.
The extraordinary virtues ofthese pills, in
great. degree, depend upon a aeic and hitherto
unknown Vegetable Principle, which was,
after aborous investigation, discovered and
tfI'st used MS medicine by the author of these
pills; and from its being first obtained from the
Tomato Plant, he has denominated TOMA-
TINE. Subsequent analysis has shown that
this new substance, whose operation is found
to be so salutafy and purifying to the system,
and particularly in Scrofhtd, Consumption,
and all disorders arising from impurities of The
Blood; is slightly contained in some other
plants; yet it is entirely netc 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 as
well as the medical professions; and lively in
terest has long been directed to the future de-
velopment 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 anii-bilious aud
atterdttue qualities; in some sections of our
own and other countries, gave the first impulse
to that investigation and analysis of the plant
which resulted in discovering and concentrate
ing this new principle, upon which its activity
as remedy depends. This was found upon
trial in some cases of scrofula and gandular
diseases, to exert most powerful and salutary
influence, far exceeding the most sangune ex-
pectations. Later and more extended use and
observation has proved it to be peculiarly APP
plicable to all diseases arising from impurities
Of The BLOOD, indigestion, Inflammation,
distractions, Sc.
A happy combination Of the Tomatine 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
nature is disturbed, and when any or all of the
functions do not perform their natural or
healthy action.
Unlike most other medicines, it is not pois-
onous IN any quantity; an over dose producing
only cathartc ehect--but never under any
