verdict is universally in its favor. 
Most respectfully yours, 
THE N, Y. PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY. 
Bedford Mineral Springs. Mass. VIBURNUM OPULUS. 
(HIGH CRANBERRY.) The Viburnum Compound. 
The Formula of W. B. Hayden, M. D. TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. 
Gentlemen, - 
We most respectfully ask your attention to some of 
the evidences in favor of a remedy of more than ordinary efficacy, 
and one which has met with more general approval than any other 
in the hands of the Profession - The Viburnum Compound - 
the formula of Dr. Hayden, which is prepared expressly and solely 
for Physicians' prescriptions. The testimonials and evidences of its 
merits which we give in this circular from well-known practitioners 
are as strong as human testimony can make them. 
Truly Yours, 
The New York Pharmaceutical Co. Viburnum Opulus, 
(The Basis of the Viburnum Compound,) 
more commonly known as the High Cranberry, is not a new 
remedy, but an old and tried one, possessing far greater merit as a 
medicine than any of the boasted "New Remedies" of which we 
read so much. 
For many years a few practitioners have been familiar with the 
more than ordinary virtues of the bark of the Viburnum Opulus, or 
High Cranberry, a beautiful shrub or tree, growing from seven to 
twelve feet high, on the hill-sides in the more northerly parts of New 
England, and also in Canada, attracting attention in June by its 
handsome, showy flowers, of a reddish-white, and later in the season 
by its clusters of bright red berries, which, though much smaller 
than the ordinary meadow cranberry, resembles it both in color and 
taste. The properties of the bark of the Viburnum Opulus are anti- 
spasmodic and nervine, and while exerting great power in relaxing 
muscular rigidity and contraction, it yet exerts a still greater influ- 
ence as a uterine tonic, imparting tone and strength to the female 
organs of generation. The Viburnum Opulus is the basis of the 
Viburnum Compound, which as a remedy for 
DYSMENORRHCEA 
approaches as near a specific as any thing in medicine, rarely fail- 
ing to afford relief in the worst cases in a few minutes, excelling all 
other known remedies, exciting the deepest gratitude on the part of 
the suffering patient, and the highest admiration of the physician 
who may have tried all other means in vain. One of the remarkable 
peculiarities of the Viburnum Compound is its beneficial effects in 
cases apparently opposite, and seeming to call for different remedies. 
Thus in amenorrhcea, by its tonic influence, it excites the normal 
flow and period while in 
MENORRHAGIA, 
and flooding from any cause, it checks it by equalizing the circula- 
tion of the blood and causing a natural action of the functions. In 4 
prolapsus uteri and debility of that organ and its muscles, it excites 
its most beneficial influence by stimulating a natural flow of the 
pent up fluids in the engorged tissues, relieving the uterus and its 
appendages of their stagnant currents of morbid blood, loaded with 
the humors of the body, which, when concentrated and retained an 
undue length of time, induce 
LEUCORRHCEA 
and a long train of evils. It is the engorgement of the womb, the 
ovaries and fallopian tubes that often cause ovarian diseases, polypus, 
hypertrophy, cauliflower, excresence, tumors, congestion, and that 
most dreaded of all diseases, cancer. One of the first manifestations 
of disease in the uterus is generally ulceration of the cervix, which 
shows an acrid condition of the fluids. The diseases enumerated in 
their turn by a reflex action upon the nervous system cause 
HYSTERIA, 
nervous prostration, insomnia, and a thousand and one distressing 
symptoms which we have no time or space to enumerate here, our 
province not being to write a treatise on morbid conditions of the 
system, but rather to call attention to the great merits of a remedy, 
which certainly exerts a most healthful influence over an organ which 
is very susceptible to dangerous and fatal diseases, and which also 
taxes the highest skill of the medical man to successfully combat. 
We copy from the "American Dispensary" the following in re- 
gard to the properties and uses of the Viburnum Opulus : " High 
Cranberry is a very powerful anti-spasmodic, and in consequence of 
this property, is more generally known by the name of Cramp Bark. 
It is more effective in relaxing cramps and spasms of all kinds, as 
Asthma, Hysteria, Cramps of the Limbs and other parts, in females, 
especially during pregnancy, and it is said to be highly beneficial to 
those who are subject to convulsions during pregnancy, or at parturi- 
tion, preventing the attacks entirely, if used daily for the last two 
or three months of gestation." 
The preparation which has given such a prominence to the Vibur- 
num Opulus, and has excited so much inquiry among physicians, and 
brought it into special and deserved favor, is the 
VIBURNUM COMPOUND, 
from the formula of Dr. Hayden, which was first presented to the 
notice of the profession, fifteen years ago, and which has been and 
still is prepared exclusively by The New York Pharmaceutical Com- 5 
pany for physicians' prescriptions, and is dispensed by all reliable 
apothecaries. We think we are justified in asserting that no one 
medicinal preparation has met with more decided and universal favor 
from medical men, than the Viburnum Compound, not excepting the 
Compound Phosphorus Pills, which were also originated by Dr. 
Hayden, and which have attained a world-wide reputation in the 
treatment of nervous disorders among all classes of physicians. 
PROLAPSUS UTERI. 
This almost universal derangement is the standing reproach of 
the Gynecologist, more thought, study, and experiment having been 
devoted to misplacements of the uterus, and their unfortunate results 
than to any one, or all other ills that the female is heir to; all 
mechanical appliances and contrivances beyond their mere temporary 
employment proving more depressing than restorative, by throwing 
the uterine muscles and their fibre into disuse, and consequently 
increased relaxation and debility. The indication desired to be ful- 
filled is to tone up and contract the uterine fibre, and nothing but a 
remedy having this property, and a special affinity for the uterus 
will bring about this most happy result. The experience and 
testimony of more than two thousand physicians have been given 
in favor of the Viburnum Compound of Dr. Hayden as being 
decidedly the best of uterine tonics. 
DYSMENORRHCEA, 
Functional and mechanical. These two conditions often exist in 
consequence of a lack of physical development. The great majority 
of young women suffer more or less severely at the regular catamenia, 
the immediate cause of which is usually induced by a congested state 
of the ovaries, a contraction of the fallopian tubes, or a stricture of 
the cervix uteri and seclusion of the os-tincea. One or all of the 
above conditions may exist at one and the same time. Whatever 
will act directly upon these organs and relax them, will at once miti- 
gate the suffering and restore a normal action. Mechanical inter- 
ference will be sufficient in a few cases to afford relief, but is always 
objectionable to the patient and to be avoided by the physician when 
a more agreeable remedy will answer the purpose equally well. In 
no way can the practitioner win reputation and gratitude so quickly 
as by relieving his patient if she be agonized with pain from dysmen- 
orrhcea. The original prescription of the Vibqrnum Compound was 
written more than twenty years since, by W. R. Hayden, m.d., of 
New York City, and it has during that time proved more successful 
in the complaint under consideration than any other known remedy. 
For special directions, see page 23. An eminent physician in New York of large experience, (whose name 
is at the service of any physician who may require it), stated to the 
writer of these pages, a most remarkable experience which he had 
in the employment of the Viburnum Compound, in cases of 
menorrhagia, and in flooding from 
MISCARRIAGE, 
where it fulfilled the desired indications after all other means usually 
employed had failed. The Viburnum Compound does not depend 
upon the peculiar properties or action of any one plant, but by a 
happy and scientific combination of several, whose united influence 
produce the desired results. Some physicians profess to object to 
" compounds." Pray, will they tell us what vegetable is a simple 
or w hat remedy they employ that is not strictly a compound ?

"The Viburnum Compound. - The value of this article fol 
the purposes recommended, is unequalled. We have used large quanti- 
ties of this in our private practice, as well as in the several institu- 
tions to which we belong, and have never in a single instance failed 
to produce the desired effect. It is not only prepared for the medical 
profession, but every woman who is suffering from any of the form? 
of uterine diseases, mentioned by Dr. Hayden, can use it with confi- 
dence and safety, Thousands of medical men are now using it daily, 
and throughout our extensive acquaintance with the same we hear oj 
no failure. We cheerfully recommend it to the profession." 
A distinguished English physician, writing to Dr. Hayden says,-' 
" Your Viburnum Compound is a wonderful preparation. We have 
nothing like it in England. I have never known anything that would 
give such quick relief from painful menstruation." And then goes 
on to cite cases in his own practice, where it had been most success- 
fully employed. 
102 East 23rd Street, New York, 
W. R. Hayden, M. D.,- October 23, 1878. 
Dear Doctor. - I take great pleasure in adding my testimony in 
favor of your Viburnum Compound. I have used it with great suc- 
cess for several years, and would not be without it in my practice. I 
know of no remedy that can equal it for the relief of Dysmenorrhoea 
and other functional disorders of the uterus. 
Very truly yours, ROBERT A. GUNN, M. D. 
"Dysmenorrhcea.-Viburnum Opulus occupies the first rank 
as a remedy, for painful menstruation. We have used it with great 
success in a large number of cases, without a single failure. Hay- 
den's Viburnum Compound is the preferable form. It is a powerful 
anti-spasmodic and tonic, pleasant to take and certain in its results." 
The New York Medical Tribune for March, 1879. 
11 Union Street, Boston, May 22, 1879. 
New York Pharmaceutical Company: 
Gentlemen: - Please add to our order of the 20th, fifty pounds 
more of Hayden's Viburnum Compound. We have sold it for thir- 
teen years (the present month) to a large number of physicians and 
apothecaries, and their testimony in its favor has been universal and 
more highly commendatory than that bestowed upon any other medi- 
cine in our long experience in the drug business. 
Truly yours, CHENEY & MYRICK. 
After having made an extensive and long-continued use of 
Hayden's Viburnum in our own private practice, we were recreant of 
our duty to physician and patient alike, did we not confess our 
profound appreciation of its many virtues. Particularly in stubborn 
cases of Nervous Irritability, Insomnia and Dysmenorrhoea when all 
other remedies have proved utterly insufficient. - The New York 
Eclectic Medical and Surgical Journal, for September, 1879. 15 
Saratoga Springs, N. Y., July 1, 1879. 
Please send me four pounds Hayden's Viburnum Compound. 
It is the best medicine I ever used. 
R. HAMILTON, M. D. 
Dr. Chas. M. Sawyer, of Haverhill, Mass., says: "I think very 
highly of Hayden's Viburnum Compound, having employed it in my 
practice several years with tlie best results - in fact it can be de- 
pended upon with almost the same certainty as the rising of the sun." 
Louise P. Miller, M. D., Fair Haven, Mass., writes as 
follows:-"I have tried Hayden's Viburnum Compound and like its 
effects very much indeed." 
The following letter is from the pen of a man eminent in the 
medical profession both as teacher and practitioner, and whose 
happy experience with the Viburnum Compound has been almost 
marvelous in the uses for which it is recommended. 
19 East 32nd St., New York, March 22, 18S0. 
W. R. Hayden, M. D. 
Dear Doctor.-The three pounds of Viburnum Compound which I 
obtained from you a few weeks since have been used with great suc- 
cess. If the gynecologists of the country were acquainted with the 
real merits of this preparation, hundreds of poor women who are now 
invalids could be restored without any difficulty. 
Yours respectfully, R. S. NEWTON, M. D. 
Lansdale, Penn., March 23, 1880. 
W. R. Hayden, M. D.,- 
Dear Doctor.-I have used all my Viburnum Compound, and 
have found it just what it is represented to be. It is certainly a desir- 
able addition to our valuable list of preparations, and so pleasant to 
take, I feel a great desire to recommend it to others as an important 
preparation. The Viburnum Compound has given me better satis- 
faction as an anti-spasmodic than any other of the same class ever 
before used. Your friend, respectfully,

Gentlemen: - I have had occasion (for the first time) to use the 
Viburnum Compound since I received your circular, and I am pleased 
to inform you with very satisfactory results.

To the New York Pharmaceutical Company. 
Gentlemen; - Permit me to offer my testimonial to the great 
merits of Dr. Hayden's Viburnum Compound. To have written 
the original prescription, the greatest name in the Profession 
might well be proud. I have had a large personal experience in the 
administration of the Viburnum Compound, and it has so uniformly 
fulfilled the desired indication, that I have come to rely upon it as an 
old and tried friend. It has given me more solid faith in the efficacy 
of medicine than anything else in my long practice. 
Truly yours, JOHN D. KELLY, M. D. 
Marshall, Clark Co., Illinois. 
W. R. Hayden, m. d.,-Dear Sir;-I have given your Viburnum 
a fair and extensive trial, with great satisfaction to myself and relief 
to my patients. I find in all cases of Dysmenorrhoea, where such is 
not dependent on mechanical obstruction, i. e. narrowing of canal, it 
is almost a specific, and even where mechanical obstruction exists, it 
affords great relief. I take more than ordinary interest in this matter 
as for ten years past I have had put up for my own use a preparation 
of sassafras, peppermint, golden seal, and ether, which I have used 
for the same purpose, but I am free to confess that your preparation 
is by far the most efficient. 
Yours truly, GEO. DIOG, M. D. 
Rutland, Vt. 
New York Pharmaceutical Company: 
Gents:-Some two or three months since one of your agents gave 
me a sample of Hayden's Viburnum Compound, which I gave to one 
of my patients with pleasing effects. I have tried to obtain more of 
it from some of our druggists but have failed to do so. Will you 
please send me a pound, C. O. D.; hoping to hear from you soon, 
1 remain, 
Most respectfully, JOHN A. MEAD, m. d. 
Cincinnati, Ohio, Jan. 7, 1881. 
W. R. Hayden, m. d.,- 
Dear Doctor;-As useful medicines scientifically prepared and 
honorably introduced should have the encouragement of all who have 
used and found them invaluable to those suffering from specific trou- 
bles. I most cheerfully state, unsolicited, that I have for many years 
while engaged in a large practice in Cincinnati, O., used your Vibur- 
num Compound for the relief of those who were suffering from 
Dysmenorrhoea, and scarcely ever have I been disappointed when ex- 
pecting prompt and satisfactory relief, provided the medicine was used 
according to directions. If more physicians used your Compound, in 
my opinion there would be less female suffering. 
Yours very respectfully, O. E. NEWTON, m. d.

Gents: Will you please send as soon as possible five hundred 
pounds Hayden's Viburnum Compound, and oblige. 
Yours respectfully 
GEO. C. GOODWIN & CO. 
P. S. - We have sold Dr. Hayden's Viburnum Compound for 
more than ten years, it being employed almost exclusively for physi- 
cians' prescriptions, and during all that time we have never received 
a complaint of its want of efficacy, but, on the contrary, the very high- 
est encomiums of its great value in the cases for which it is recom- 
mended. GEO. C. GOODWIN & CO. 
We have received a larger number of testimonials to the efficacy of 
the Viburnum Compound from physicians than have ever been given 
for any other medicine in the United States, and we do not hesitate 
to say that it will give more decided satisfaction to both the practi- 
tioner and patient than any other remedy. 
Were it necessary we could extend the list with the names of 
well-known physicians in various parts of the country, who cordially 
endorse the superior merits of our Viburnum Compound. We are 
confident that physicians who once become familiar with the Vibur- 
num Compound of Dr. Hayden will in nowise be without it in the 
list of their most favorite remedies, as more satisfactory results can 
be obtained by its employment in the cases for which it is specially 
recommended than by any other medicinal preparation in this or any 
other country. - 
In the city of Providence, R. I., nine out of every ten physicians 
prescribe Hayden's Viburnum Compound. It is also largely pre- 
scribed in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, and in most of 
the States. 
The Viburnum Compound often induces 
Long and Quiet Sleep, 
from which the patient awakes refreshed, the head clear, and the ner- 
vous system invigorated by its tonic influence, which is never the 
case after taking narcotics. 
In all forms of internal pain in both sexes, tne most prompt re- 
lief is obtained in a few minutes. In Diarrhoea, Cholera Morbus, 
Cholera, Cramps, Spasms, Bilious Colic and nervous excitement, 
physicians will appreciate its happy effects upon their patients. 
The Viburnum Compound contains 
No Preparation of Opium, 
or other narcotic, and may be administered freely in doses of one to 
two tea-spoonfuls, and repeated every fifteen or twenty minutes, with- 19 
out any unpleasant after-effects, or causing any anxiety in the mind 
of the prescriber of having given an overdose. The Viburnum Com- 
pound is as essential in the physician's visiting case as Morphia 
or Quinia, and it will be so appreciated. ' It is not offensive to the 
taste or stomach, and is acceptable to children. 
General Directions. - Dose for adults, from one-half to two 
tea-spoonfuls in a table-spoonful of hot water or milk, and repeat 
every fifteen or twenty minutes in acute cases until relief is obtained. 
In other cases a tea-spoonful two or three times a day will be suffi- 
cient. For infants, five to ten drops in hot milk. 
The Viburnum Compound is put up in one pound bottles for 
druggists and apothecaries. Also in two, four, and eight ounce 
bottles, to accommodate physicians who may desire to have it in the 
original packages, with the seals unbroken. 
The Physician's Hand Book, containing formulae and other valu- 
able information, will be sent to physicians only, on receipt of 
twenty-five cents, by the New York Pharmaceutical Company, 
Bedford Springs, Mass. 
Please write for " HAYDEN'S VIBURNUM COMPOUND." 
Dispensed by all first-class Apothecaries. 
PREPARED ONLY BY THE 
New York Pharmaceutical Company, 
Bedford Mineral Springs, Mass. Valuable Formulae 
It having been suggested by many physicians that valuable 
formulas, and original prescriptions that were the result of professional 
experience would be acceptable to many practitioners, particularly 
so to those in the country, remote from the great medical centres, and 
also to the younger members of the profession, the following valu- 
able formulae are presented to those who may desire to employ them, 
with the remark that several of them are of more than ordinary 
value to the Gynecologist. 
Hemorrhage of the Lungs 
And all dangerous Internal Hemorrhages. 
B. Saturated Tincture Secale Cornutum, 
" " Cinnamomum Cort. 
" " 01. Erigeron Canadensis,aa, §j. 
M. Sig. Thirty to sixty drops on sugar, or in mucilage, and 
repeat as often as required until the hemorrhage is controlled, when 
smaller doses should be given on extended time. For local hemor- 
rhage of any part of the body, where this preparation can be applied, 
it will be found of great efficacy as a safe styptic, especially in 
epistaxis. 
Puerperal Convulsions, and Peritonitis. 
B. Saturated Tinct. Veratrum Viride,§i. 
Sig. Fifteen to thirty drops, and repeat every half hour, keeping 
the patient partially under the influence of Chloroform. Should 
great prostration follow, give tea-spoonful doses Spirits Vini Gallaci, 
until h reaction sets in. The Veratrum Viride is, without exception, 
the most reliable of all remedies in puerperal convulsions. The 
writer has given as high as sixty-drop doses, with the most happy 
and gratifying results. 21 
Erysipelas. 
B< Tincture Ferri Chloridi, 
Sig. Ten to fifteen drops in a little water, three times a day. 
B. No. 2. Saturated Tine. Veratrum Viride

The addition of an equal part of simple syrup will make it much 
more agreeable to the patient. A superior remedy, when the articles

relaxed conditions of the uterus. For barrenness and lack of sexual 
tone, this preparation will be found of much service.

strain and add one ounce Tincture Opii. 
Sig. Apply freely and often. This is a very valuable lotion, and 
Will also be found of service as a wash for infants troubled with 
scalding and chafing. 
Long experience and observation has led the writer of these pages 
to the conclusion that in the majority of female complaints (if not in 
all), there is an acid condition of the fluids, particularly of the mu- 
cous membrane, and that this acid state should be neutralized as the 
first step in a successful treatment. Acting upon this conclusion, he 23 
lias been in the habit of prescribing the following preparation as 
preliminary to a to*iic, and restorative medication, with results the 
most gratifying. 
B. Rhei Pulvis, 
Sodae, Bi-carb 3 i j 
Cinnamomum Pulvis, Si- 
Aquae Bullientis, § xvj. 
M. Steep for half an hour slowly, then strain and add,- 
Tincture 01. Mentha Viridis, 
" 01. Mentha Piperita aaSi. 
Spirits Vini Gallaci, 5iv- 
Sig. One table-spoonful every night for a week. 
Formula of Viburnum Compound. 
R. Viburnum Opulus, 
Dioscorea Villosa, 
Scutellaria Lateriflora, 
And a combination of aromatics. 
For the administration of the Viburnum Compound in dysmenorrhoea. 
In cases where the patient suffers greatly at the monthly period, 
it is well to commence by giving her tea-spoonful doses of the 
Viburnum Compound every night for a week previous to the 
usual time. Immediately on the appearance of the catemenia, 
give her two-tea-spoonful doses of the Viburnum Compound every 
half-hour in a wine-glassful of hot water, sweetened, and continue to 
do so until relief is obtained, unless the stomach rejects it, in which 
case the dose should be reduced until it is tolerated. In very severe 
cases and spasms, hot applications to the loins and inferior extrem- 
ities are valuable aids as relaxants and keeping up a healthy circula- 
tion. Frequently after taking the Viburnum Compound, the patient 
will sleep soundly for several hours from the sudden cessation of 
pain, in such cases she should never be awakened through any fear 
of oversleeping, as the Viburnum Compound does not contain any 
narcotic whatever, nor does it leave any disagreeable after-effects and 
it may be given to a child, when necessary, without any special 
caution.
