JOYCE's TASTELEsS SOLUTION
OF Copaibai ia Chambers street, N. u.
TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
"a ..-II IcIr 81

Es-SioNs
~ ENTLEMEN.-The valuable medicinal
W properties of Balsam Copaiba have long
been recognized by the faculty, but the great dis
advantage arising from It's nauseous taste has
hitherto prevented its administration in many
diseases for which il is particularly adapted. The
usual g DodUs operandP of prescribing Il, either
in the form OF an Emulsion or Geatnous Cap
sules has not been found satisfactory being liable
10 some objection, either from the difficulty eXpe-
rienced by some individuals IN the deglutltlon OF
the Capsule or The small quantity ofCopalba gen
orally found in the Emulsion.
Joyce's tasteless solution OF Copalba is The
most unique preparation yet introduced 10 the
medical profession, as il contains DO 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 TO contain all the medicinal proper
ties of Basam Copaiba without its dlsagreable
characteristics.
II is an efficient preparation for all diseases OF
the mucous membranes, and particularly Como
rheoa, Leucorrhaa, elect, painful hemorrhoidal
affections, and in chronic irritation Of the bladder.
