use of; nor is the temperature of the menstrum
used, allowed to exceed so deg Fab. until every
particle Of active principle is extracted, leaving
astcess inert mass behind; thereby attaining the
whole of the soluble active principle in highly
concentrated state, leaving out the iccula, woody
| fibre, ETC., which encumbcrs the extract obtained
by decoction.

strict chemical and pharmaceutical rules, but that
he has also united some of the oilicinale valua-
bic and active Vegetables, all of the choicest seec-
ton, which materially enhance its value in the
treatment Of the diseases above mentioned. He
is therefore induced to offer this fluid extract to
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

more especially as having the patient under their
immediate care, they will prescribe such diet
and regimen as in their judgment the case would
seem to indcatc--therchy giving the extract its
| full influence.
