yE7IIIS compound fluid extract is Aheratire.
Il Diueiic, Diophorefic, LarGtire, aromatic,
and SFghtiy stimuta1R; and may be most success
fully used in scroiulous and syphiloid diseases,
and that shattered state of the constitution which
so often follows the imprudent use of Mercury;
cxostoscs or morbid enlargement of the bones,
surpginous pustucs or ringworms; alterations
generally carries of the bones, cartileges OF the
nose, mouth, etc, etc, with the other diseases
above mentioned, and all diseases arising from
morbid state of the blood.
There is hardly physician who has not had
occasion to observe with pain, the phagedcnic
variety Of herpcs and in spite of all the remedies
he could bring against this cruel disease, was
compelled to acknowledge their ineiicacy, and
allow the monster to corrode and destroy the nose,
cheeks lips, cyelids, ears and temples-parts for
which this maady generally affects preference.
But in this extract will be found perfect remedy
! in all such cases, ard where the disease has not
produced a very great arrangement OF structure,
it will even yield to this remedy in a very short
time.
G. 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 arc
nine in number, without heat; that is to say,
neither dccoction, infusion or maceration are made
use of; nor is the temperature of the menstruIn
used, allowed to exceed so deg. fah until every
particle of active principle is extracted, leaving
tastecss inert mass behind thereby attaining the
whole of the soluble active principle in a highly
concentrated state, leaving out the iecula, woody
| fibre, ETC., which encounters the extract obtained
| by dCcoction.
The proprietor, therefore, has not only the sat
isfaction of assuring the medical faculty and tho
public, that this remedy is prepared according 70
strict chemical and pharmaceutical rules but that
he has also united some Of the oflicinale vaua-
bic and active Vegetables, all of the choicest selec-
ton, which materially enhance its value in the
treatment of the diseases above mentioned. Ho
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 cx'rlct, and great relief from the per
plexites 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 scribe such diet
and regimen as in their judgment the case would
seem to indicate--thereby giving the extract its
full influence.
