posed of Pcdophylin, or the vital princi-
pie of the mandrake root. 1t is the medi-
cinal virtues of this health giving plant in
a perfectly pure and highly concentrated
form. The Podophylin acts directly on
the Liver, stimulating its functi ons and
causing it to make its hillary secretions in
regular and propc" quantities. The iniu-
rious results which invariably follow the
use of mercury is entirely avoided bv
their use. But it is not upon the Liver
only that their powers are exerted. The
