JOYCE'S TASTELESS SOLUTION
or Copaibsi ia Chambers street, ". Y.
TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.

NJ InE UhISDlShL IROEA A5ohONs
~ ENTLEMEN.-The 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 IN many
diseases for which il is particularly adapted. The
usual " nloaus opsyandp of prescribing il, either
ia the form OF am Emulsion or Gelatinous Cap
sules, has not been found satisfactory, being liable
10 some objection, either from the dlnicuity expe-
rienced by some individuals in the deglutition OF
the Capsule or the small quantity OF Copaiba gen
orally found in the Emulsion.
Joyce's tasteless solution OF CopaIba Is The
most unique preparation yet Introduced TO the
medical profession, as il contains 90 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 disagreabie
characteristics.
II is an efficient preparation for all diseases OF
the mucous membranes, and particularly Como
rheea, Leucorrh9a, elect, painful hemorrhoidal
affections, and in chronic irritation ofthe bladder.
