JOYCE'S TASTELESS SOLUTION

To THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
~ ENTLEME THE yaiuable medicinal

49, valuable medicinal
W properties of Balsam Copaiba have long
been Recognized by the faculty, but the great dis.
advantage arising from its nauseous taste has
hitherto prevented its administration ia many
diseases for which il is particularly adapted. The
usual I. Da0dus opeyand" Of prescribing il, either
in the form OF an Emulsion or Gelalinous Cap
sules, has not been found satisfactory, being liable
TO some objection, either from The difficulty expe-
rienced by some individuals in the deglutilion of
the Capsule or the small quantity o. Copaiba gem
orally found in The Emulsion.
Joyce's tasteless solution of Copaiba is the
most unique preparation yet introduced 10 the
medical profession, as il contains 80 per cent. of
the purest Para Copaiba, without taste or smell,
and at same time mixes clearly and freely with
water, and is pronounced by The most eminent
physicians and analytical chemists in the old and
new worlds 10 contain all the medicinal proper
ties OF Balsam Copaiba without its disagreable
characteristics.
IL is an efficient preparation for all diseases of
the mucous membranes, and particularly Como
rhepa, Leucorrhna, elect, painful hemorrhoidal
affections, and in chronic irritation Of the bladder.

The recent enactment Of the British Parlia-
ment, prohibiting the expectation Of Saltpetre
from the East Indies, the source from which
the commercial demand has been supplied, is
attracting attention in this country, for the
obvious reason that it must seriously affect
important interests in our manufacturing de-
partments. And the Importance Of the subject
is not a little enhanced ia view Of the fact that
ssltpetre, besides being one Of the most impor.
tant aids upon which we rely in extending the
arts Of peace, constructing public works, &c, Is
indispensable as a component part of gum
powder. The first effect Of a diminished supply
resulting from the prohibitory act of Parliament,
has already been felt in the price which is now
more than double the average for several pre-
ceding years, and will, no doubt, continue to
advance.
In one hundred pounds of gun powder there
are about seventy five pounds of s~altpetre. The
acids called nitre and aquafortis in their man
~ufacture require about the same weight Of the
salt as the acid obtained; in other manufacture
also it enters in very large proportions. Al
though often found naturally formed in rocks
and in the earth, ~saltpetre is mostly obtained
by decomposing the earthly salts of nitric acid
by means of ashes or crude potash. At the
present time no important sources Of this sub.
stance exist out side Of the warm ATTITUDES. A
writer in the Boston Atlas, however suggests a
way by which we may compete with India in
the productions Of saltpetre for nome consump.
ton. lie proposes in the manufacture Of the
salt, to substitute for the soda base an equiva-
lent of potash. Nitrate Of soda, he says, in
its dry and pure state, is composed Of anhy-
sdrous nitric acid 90, SO, anhydrous soda 86,47
parts in le0. As the nitric weighs 53,4l, one
hundred parts Of nitrate Of soda should afford
nnarlu ma k.-I.zl - -, e. Ill
petre, by exchanging its soda base for ar
equivalent Of potash. This change can be
easily effected by means Of salts Of potash
when salts of soda are produced on one hanc
and saltpetre on the other. Salts Of potash
abound in wood ashes, and where wood ashe,
can be obtained, or any salt Of potash cheaply
we may at once compete with India in tn,
production of saltpetre for home consumption

II Sick Headache Remedy.-Aremedy for
the sick headache, which has been recentlyoffered
to the public, is attracting great attention, not only
by reason of the very satisfactory testimonials TO
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great a number of people who are af-
ficted with the Distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DIR.
Eastman, who disco vered the efficacy of his ''rem-
edy,' is a physician in this city, in high standing,
with a large practice. He is a physician in whom
great confidence is placed; and we do not wonder
that his remedy for a very common disease, which
has been so long needed has attractedthe attention
ofall sufferers from headache who have heard off
From our own knowledge of DIR. Eastman's char
acter and practice, we have no doubt that the med
icine deserves the favor it receives, and that it will
prove TO be a great benefit to all who may give il
a trial.-Lynn Meas, December %, 1853.
