Eaota for the people

As the virtues of medicines can only be aseeT-
tanned By careful observation, It il TO be- regretted
that nazy OF the Drugs still prescribed By some
physieiazs should retain place in our AateriA
Medlca. A. an instance Of this, that vile drug
Baisam Copaiba. furnishes an example. About the
year 1890, the spanlsrds In the Island Of San Do
mineo having become Anilcted with certain oem-
plaints thought according to the prevailing notion
ct that time that the remedy might be found where
the disease originated. Under this Impression Sal
sam copaIba came into use, but never has man
seating drug done more injury, for It not only
changes tbs nature OF the disease 70 more dread
full state than the original bat Il ruins the tone Of
the stomach and brings on Dyspepsia In its wers
forms. To avOid this drug and IL effects the sA-
