reravias, Syrup VS.. Alcoholic To..scs


1t has been desideratum with the
medical profession to procure prepera-
tion Of iron less objectioual than any of
those now in use, which often produce
unfavorable effects upon the system,
especially when prepared with alcoholic
fluids.
In many cases of debility and GONZALES
cence from disease, where tonic is in
dioated, wine, brandy, porter, Sc, have
been recommended but these are very
doubtful efficacy, to say the least. Alco-
hol is never digested, is ranked among the
diffusible stimuli, and is incapable of af-
fording nutrition. 1t creates generally an
unnatural excitement and &evangement
of the circulation, irritating the whole
system Ly preventing the blood from To-
sing its carbon. Again, how difficult it is
to obtain an article approaching to puri-
ty, almost all the wines, brandies, porters
&c, being more or less adulterated.
Such being the case with regard to the
spirtuous preparations Of iron, and the
alcoholic drinks, of which any one can
satisfy himself by investigating on the
subject, an opportunity is now presented
in the Peruvian Syrup, for the trial of an
article in general practice, which has the
very strongest recommendations from
medical and scientific men of the highest
cbaraoser-a preparation which so hap
PLY combines the protoEide OF iron with
the other constitutional parts that the eff
fects incident to the use of iron salts are
obviated.
Forall cases in which iron or any tonic
| is needed this preparation is confidently
| Helieved to be far superior TO any other.
II seems TO purify the very fountain of
| health.
