Of its primar; operation; they cannot say whether it will

They have long desired and sought an article that
would produce the good effects Of this drug, without
s,llectng the patient its dticel{ota results. Such

results of Caiomel, i'll both acute and chronic diseases

Its action upon tue constitution is universal, no part
of tue system escaping its Mfucucc. 1t is. however
upon the organs of secretion and excrctIon that its
great power is particularly manifested hence it is pc
cliiarly adapted to tie treatment OF bilious te1tS aud
other diseases in which to'Iidi'y congestion OF the
liver aud t>ortai circle prevail.
1t is admissible in all cases, where it is necessary To
cleanse the stomach and bowels. 1t removes 9ostruc
