DR.. William Brady in an article about
calomel in the Atlanta Constitution re-
Gently said:
"Calomel is a cathartic and very
crude and superhuous one. 1t pro-
duces no special effect upon the liver
or upon the secretion of bile. 1t has
no more influence over biliousness
than any other active physic. 1t is
Just the ancient standby, cheaper
than most other physics and retained
fin use because old dogs seldom learn
hew tricks"
As a substitute for poison like
lcalomel modern physicians prescribe
tpurely vegetable cathartics. Mar.
