The rapid advance of Medical Science within the past few years, has called for 
a corresponding advance in pharmaceutical knowledge, to meet the increasing de- 
mands of the Medical profession; and in no department of science has more un- 
tiring zeal been manifested, or greater results obtained, than in the pharmaceutist's 
laboratory. Step by s.tep, has the intelligent physician and the pharmaceutist 
walked together in their search for " a balm for every wound," from Infusions, 
Syrups, Tinctures, and Fluid Extracts. They have passed on to the more definite 
preparatians known as " Alkaloids," Resinoids," " Concentrated Tinctures," and 
" Saturates." Each of these preparations have had their distinctive merits, and 
have been accepted or rejected, just as they have been found to meet the require- 
ments of the case or otherwise. Unfortunately, until quite recently, practical 
pharmacy has not been taught in our Medical Schools, and its study has been neg- 
lected by the practicing physician, whose never ending round of professional du- 
ties and studies, seemed to be all he could mentally or physically master; but every 
day's lesson has taught him the necessity of a more thorough knowledge of the 
powerful agencies he was hourly employing in his endeavors to save life and pro- 
mote health. He has learned that it is not enough for him to know theoreti- 
cally the properties, uses, and doses of a medicine, but also that he should be a 
judge of the crude material, and an expert in preparing the same, as well as ad- 
ministering it. It is not sufficient for him to be told by his druggist that a certain 
drug is " Ipecac," he must know by practical experience that it is not only Ipecac, 
but that it is of the best quality, and not rhubarb, as his patient's life may depend 
upon his knowledge of the remedy, as well as upon his ability to administer it. 
It is not enough for him to be told by the manufacturer that a certain prepara- 
tion made by heat, with only twenty per cent, of alcohol, and eighty of water, con- 
tains all the oil, resin, and essential properties of a pound of crude material, for 
his knowledge of pharmacy, and his common sense, has taught him to reject all 
such statements as false. Neither will he accept a medicine as good, simply be- 
cause it is " thick and black." There is a demand for better medicinal prepara- 
tions, and the demand will never cease so long as the world is filled with the sick, 
and medicines are required to heal them. 
It is now some five years since Dr. Hayden's Cold Concentrated Satu- 
rates were first presented to the profession, yet in that brief space of time, they 
have met with a large sale, both in this country and Europe, and with unexampled 
favor from physicians of all schools, because they were reliable. The popularity 
of the Saturates is evidenced, particularly in the West, by several manufacturers 
of Fluid Extracts, who have changed the names of their preparations, and now 
advertise them as "Cold Expressed Alcoholic Saturates," "Forced Percolates," 
" Cold Concentrated Tinctures," etc.; some of them are using our precise lan- 
guage in setting forth their merits, and calling attention to them. We do not al- 
lude to this in disparagement of their goods, but simply as an evidence of the pop- 
ularity of " Hayden's Saturates," and the general acceptance of our methods of 
manufacture. TO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION. 
Gentlemen:- 
We present you our hand-book and respectfully ask your attention 
to the merits of 
HAYDEN'S COLD CONCENTRATED SATURATES, 
which are prepared expressly for your prescriptions, and we assure 
you that they are always made from the best materials, under the 
immediate supervision of an experienced physician and pharmaceutist 
who is familiar with the wants of the profession, and who will, to the 
best of his ability, supply them. 
The important features of Hayden's Saturates are the following: 
First. - They are made from the choicest selected material. 
Second. - They are prepared without the employment of heat. 
Third. - They contain fifty per cent, of alcohol, a quantity suffi- 
cient to cut oils, dissolve resins, hold them in solution, prevent fermen- 
tation and decomposition ; none of which is true of fluid extracts made 
with twenty per cent, of alcohol, as is illustrated in Barosma, Baros- 
ma Comp., Anthemis Nobilis, Cubebs, Cannabis Indica, Valeriana 
Officinalis, and many other plants containing a large amount of oil. 
The same is also true of those articles having an excess of resin, as 
the Rumex Crispus. Podophyllum Peltatum, Cimicifuga, Racemosa, 
etc., etc. 
Fourth. - By the employment of fifty per cent, of alcohol in the 
manufacture of Hayden's Saturates, the excess of starch, gum, mucilage, 
and other inert matter not desirable is rejected. 
Fifth. - The Saturates will make a clear mixture with the offici- 
nal tinctures. 
Deeming the above reasons a sufficient recommendation for Hay- 
den's Saturates, we ask you to test their merits. 
Physicians ordering these Saturates in prescriptions should be assured 
that other preparations will not be substituted as is often the case. HAYDEN'S SATURATES. 
The great favor with which these preparations have been received 
in all parts of the country where they have been introduced, their 
unexampled sale in the brief period of three years, with the very 
many flattering letters received by the Company, all speaking in the 
highest terms of commendation (without a single exception) of the 
value and reliability of the Saturates, have encouraged them to en- 
large their works at Bedford Mineral Springs, Mass., and to lay out 
extensive botanical gardens for the cultivation of many plants which 
are rare and difficult to be obtained in sufficient quantities to supply 
he increasing demands of the profession. 
New and improved machinery has been ordered, and the Company 
are now prepared to furnish all orders at the shortest notice on the 
best terms. 
The Company give special attention to the preparation of physi- 
cian's private formulae and prescriptions, and they can rely upon hav- 
ing them made as desired. 
Saturates in bulk furnished at reduced rates. COMPOUNDS, MIXTURES, TINCTURES, SYRUPS, 
AND INFUSIONS. 
Hayden's Cold Concentrated Saturates being uniform in 
strength and menstruum,* they will readily unite one with the other, 
making a clear and handsome mixture without sediment, a real desid- 
eratum, and which will be appreciated by every physician who is in 
the habit of compounding his own mixtures. To the practitioner 
who makes his own tinctures, fluid extracts, infusions, and syrups from 
the crude materials, Hayden's Saturates will be a great saving in 
time, money, and labor, to say nothing of their superior quality gained 
in part by the peculiar process of manufacture, the active principles 
being extracted without heat, which element destroys the virtues of 
most vegetable substances, as is well illustrated in the boiling of tea. 
The dose of each Saturate being carefully stated, they can be far 
more safely prescribed and used than the crude material, which often 
varies much in strength. Added to the above there is another and an 
important point that should not be lost sight of, viz: the uncertain 
quality and'strength of preparations made by inexperienced and un- 
skilful hands- 
For convenience, and to prevent any chance of mistakes, the doses 
of Hayden's Saturates have been graduated precisely the same as 
those of fluid extracts, and are to be used in the same way. 
The Saturates containing less starch, gum, mucilage, and inert matter 
than fluid extracts, they will much more readily unite with the offici- 
nal tinctures, and may be diluted with wine, water, or syrup. 
ggTAll liquid medicines should be kept well corked, in a cool 
place, and excluded from the light to prevent evaporation and chemical 
change. 
* Exceptions, Aconite Leaves and Root, Belladonna, Rhus Toxicondendron, 
Thuja, Viburnum Comp , these contain seventy-five per cent, of alcohol. CHEAP MEDICINES. 
One of the most dangerous and demoralizing agencies at work 
among pharmaceutists and physicians is the growing desire and de- 
mand for " cheap medicines." 
The druggist says to the manufacturer, " We cannot make enough 
on your preparations, they are too high priced, - Cheapman, Gullem 
& Co. will sell us their goods for five per cent, less than your house." 
The physician in turn says, " I would prefer to prescribe your medi- 
cines, for I am well pleased with them, they act well, but the fact is 
I cannot afford to do so and trust them out to my patients, who are 
not willing to pay me any more for my advice with a prescription, 
than without; so I must give them something cheaper." 
The above conversation is not imaginary, it is real and occurs every 
day and hour all over the country. The druggist, the physician, and the 
patient are all haggling about a few cents on a prescription, while 
the poor pain-racked sufferer is gasping for breath. Now what is the 
tendency of all this barter? Simply to stimulate competition, the 
adulteration of drugs, to employ poor and inert medicines, to trifle 
with principle, and jeopardize life in the base attempt to make a few 
more cents or dollars. 
The druggist, the physician, and the patient should not forget that 
every good article has its value and will command its price, and that 
five per cent, less means not so good, ten per cent, less means adulter- 
ation, and twenty per cent, less means actual fraud. THE BEST 
IS ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST, IN THE END. 
The New York Parmaceutical Company have never given but one 
kind of an order for all the stock they manufacture, - " The best and 
nothing but the best, without regard to cost." ACONITUM NAPELLUS.

Aconite is greatly esteemed as an antiphlogistic remedy, and much 
employed by homeopathic physicians in febrile and inflammatory dis- 
eases. In improper doses it is an active acro-narcotic poison and 
should always be administered with great caution, and only by those 
who are familiar with its action and competent to prescribe it. 
Dose of Hayden's Saturate of Aconite Leaves, 2 to 6 drops; of the 
root, 1 to 4 drops diluted in water. 
We have no certain antidote for this powerful drug in case of aco- 
nite poisoning. The first thing to be done is to evaluate the stomach 
with 20 grains of the sulphate of zinc dissolved in water, after which 
give one ounce of brandy mixed with three of milk, and repeat in 
fifteen or twenty minutes until the urgent symptoms and danger are 
past.

PHOSPHORUS PILLS, COMP. 
Compound Phosphorus Pills. 
Phosphorus is one of the most important constituents of the animal 
economy, particularly of the brain and nervous system, and is gener- 
ally admitted to be one of our most valued agents in the treatment of 
that class of disorders denominated " nervous.' The important ques- 
tion has been, in what form and how best to administer it, phosphoric 
acid being objectionable on account of its irritant properties and influ- 
ence upon the coats of the stomach. Recent experiments have tended 
strongly in favor of the crude phosphorus in fat, thoroughly trituated 
for many hours to insure a fine sub-division of the particles, the mass

remedy. Unfortunately for the patient for whom any of the prepara- 
tions of Dandelion are prescribed, in out of every hundred 
cases Chiccory is substituted by the druggist, without the knowledge 
or consent of the physician prescribing it. This practice is most rep- 
rehensible, and should be discountenanced by every physician, partic- 
ularly in the case of Chiccory when we consider its bad effects upon 
the kidneys, producing as it does renal diseases instead of removing 
them. 44

HAYDEN'S VIBURNUM COMPOUND. 
Specially recommended for all Internal Pain, Spasm, Hysterics, 
Convulsions, Bilious Colic, Cramp, Flatulency, Cholera Morbus, Chol- 
era, Amenorrhoea, and unequalled as a remedy for Dysmenorrhcea, 
giving immediate relief in all cases where there is no organic leison or 
malformation. 
Medical men will find the Viburnum Compound a desideratum, be- 
ing entirely free from all narcotics, and producing no unpleasant after- 
effects, giving the highest satisfaction to the practitioner and patient. 
Prepared from the original prescription of W. R. Hayden, M. D., 
exclusively by the New York Pharmacutical Company. 
No Compound ever presented to the profession has found more uni- 
versal favor, or been more rapidly adopted, than the Viburnum Com- 
pound, for its anti-spasmodic power in Dysmenorrhcea, affording as it 
does almost immediate relief where all other remedies have failed. A 
concern in New York City, whose cupidity exceeds their love of prin- 45 
ciple and fair dealing, have put up an imitation of the original, with 
the intent to mislead and deceive the profession. Physicians prescrib- 
ing the Viburnum Compound should be particular to write for " Hay- 
den's," and insist on taking no other, if they would avoid imposition. 
Dose of Hayden's Viburnum Compound, for an adult, one-half to 
two teaspoonfuls (according to the urgency of the case) in half a wine- 
glassful of hot water, sweetened to taste, every fifteen minutes until 
relief is obtained.

Sloe, Black Haw. 
Properties and Uses. - Tonic, astringent, diuretic, and altera- 
tive. Used as a gargle in aphthae, and internally in chronic diarrhoea, 
and palpitation of the heart. The Viburnum Prunifolium, given inter- 
nally, possesses the rare property of closing the os tincea, where the 
mouth of the womb has beeome relaxed from any cause. Drs. Gray, 
Warner, and Baaer, of New York, who have had much experience in 
the use of the Black Haw, speak of it in high terms for this peculiar 
action on the uterus, and it is recommended by other physicians as 
valuable in threatened abortion, habitual miscarriage, and also as a 
remedy for relieving after-pains. There is often much trouble in get- 
ting the true Viburnum Prunifolium, and physicians should be careful 
to get the true article.

SPECIAL REMEDIES. 
DYSMENARRHCEA. 
. Give one teaspoonful of Hayden's Viburnum Compound in a wine- 
glassful of hot water, sweetened to taste, every fifteen or twenty min- 
utes until the patient is relieved, which is usually effected by the first 
dose. This preparation has been prescribed in many thousand cases, 
and is superior to any known remedy, and will give the highest satis- 
faction to both physician and patient. Where the Viburnum Comp, 
is given a few days before the recurrence of the regular period, it 
generally prevents any suffering, or greatly mitigates it. If your drug- 
gist does not keep it, ask him to get it for you.
