JOYCE'S TASTELESS SOLUTION
or Copaiba! LA Chambers Sta eet, N. Y.

TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION.
~ ENTLEMEN.-The valuable medicinal
M properties of Balsam Copaba 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 g modas opeyandi" of prescribing it, either
in the form OF an Emulsion Gelatinous Cap
sules, has not been found satisfactory, being liable
TO some objection either from the difficulty expe
r-nced by some individuals in the degutiiion OF
the Capsule the small quantity Of Copaiba gen
orally found in the Emulsion.
Joyces lasteess solution of Copaiba is the
most unique preparation yet introduced to the
medical profession, as it contains so per cent. OF
the pure.t Para Copaba, 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 anG
new worlds 10 contain all the medicinal proper
ties of Basam Copaba without its disagreahle
characteristics.
Ii is an efficient preparation for all diseases OF
the mucous membranes, and particularly Como
rhePa, Leucorrh9a, Geet, painful hemorrhoidai
affections, and IN chronic irritation of the bladder.
