There is hardly a physician who has not had
occasion to observe with pain, the phagedcnic
variety OF herpes; and in spite of all the remedies
ne could bring against this cruel disease, was
compelled to acknowledge their ineicacy, and
allow the monster TO corrode and destroy the nose,
oh Inns ,nrt,
which this malady generally affects preference.
But in this extract will be found perfect remedy
IN all such cases, and where the disease has not
produced very great arrangement of structure,
it will even yield to this remedy in very short
time
Il. W. Merchant taking advantage of these
facts, has adopted an improved process for extrac-
ting the medical virtues from the actual ingrcdi-
ents of this compound fluid extract, which are
nine in number, without heat; that is to say,
neither decocton, infusion or maccration are made
use of; nor is the temperature of the mensirum
used, allowed to exceed so deg Fab. until every
particle of active principle is extracted, leaving
tastcless inert mass behind; thereby attaining the
whole OF the soluble active principle in highly
concentrated state, leaving out the fccula, woody
fibre, ETC.. which encumbcrs the extract obtained
by decoction.
The proprietor therefore, has not only the sat
siaction Of assuring the medical faculty and the
public, that this remedy is prepared according to
strict chemical and pharmaceutical rules, but that
he has also united some of the ofhcinale valua-
bic and active Vegetables, all of the choicest selec-
ton, which materially enhance its value in The
treatment of the diseases above mentioned. He
is therefore induced to offer this fluid extract 10
physicians and others under the fullest assurance
of its superiority over that in common use.
Physicians will find great advantage in the use
of this extract, and great relief from the per
plcxitics attendant upon the treatment of those
obstinate cases which bid defiance to every REM
cdy their confidence prompts them TO prescribe !;
more especially as having the patient under their
immediate care, they will PIE icribe such diet
and regimen as in their judgment the case would
seem to indicatc--thcreby giving the extract its
full influence.
