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 step, 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 bo 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. Ho has learned that it is not enough for him to know theoreti- 
cally the properties, uses, and doses of a medicine, but also that ho 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 chat 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, Gubebs, 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 PeUatum, 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 
ikai other preparations will not he 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 six 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 formuhe 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. 
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 dc 
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 beet and 
nothing hut the best, without regard to cost.” PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION. 
Gentlemen of the Medical Profession: Herewith we have the 
pleasure to present you a copy of our Hand Book, which has been much enlarged 
and improved by the addition of an appendix of 14 pages, which contains, with 
other interesting matter, an Index of Common Names, New Remedies, Formulae, 
etc., etc., all of which we trust will be found worthy of your approval and 
acceptance. 
The remarkable success of this Company in the manufacture of “ Hayden'* 
Saturates,” has demonstrated that the profession not only appreciate reliable 
preparations, but will give their hearty support to those who are faithful to the 
trust reposed in them to furnish none but the best medicines. This duty the 
Company have conscientiously endeavored to perform, to the profession and 
the sick. 
As an evidence of the success of this Company it may be mentioned that the 
foreign orders received by us for our preparations are probably second to no other 
house in this country doing a similar business. We also supply a large number 
of public hospitals, dispensaries, charitable institutions, and physicians doing 
special office practice. 
In the seven years since this Company was incorporated we have had the 
honor to present to the profession, among others, two original preparations, 
which for specific value, have not been excelled, if equalled, by any in the 
Pharmacopoeia. We allude to the Saturate VIBURNUM COMPOSITUS, for 
Dysmenorrhcea, and the PIL. PHOSPHORUS COMPOSITUS, for Nervous 
Prostration, Paralysis, Impotency, etc.; both of these prescriptions were origi- 
nally written by our general director, Wm. R. Hayden, M.D., of New York City. 
It having become a mania with certain druggists at the present time to use 
glycerine in the manufacture of fluid extracts, we wish it to be distinctly 
understood that we do not employ glycerine as a solvent in any of “ Hayden’s 
Saturates ; ” and we entertain the belief that when physicians have had more 
experience in the administration of medicines so made, they will reject them for 
reasons which will have become obvious. If glycerine be not chemically pure, 
but, on the contrary, contains a large portion of oxalates, formates, ammonia, 
etc., it is highly deleterious, if not immediately dangerous. Dr. J. R. Nichols, 
the chemist, says of impure glycerine, “ The abominable liquids sold in the shops 
generally, as glycerine, possess opposite qualities to those belonging to the pure 
article. They produce burning and inflammatory action, and other disagreeable 
effects.” If the majority of the glycerine sold in the shops is impure, who is safe 
to take medicines into their stomachs made with it 1 
Promising to keep up the high character our preparations have attained in 
the market for purity and quality, we solicit from the medical profession a 
continuance of their confidence and support.

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 
to be made into pills and coated, each pill to contain the one-hundredth 
of a grain of phosphorus, combined with or without nux vomica pulvis. 
In cases where there is a Loss of Nerve or Vital Power, Softening 
of the Brain, Phthisis Pulmonalis, Lapse of Memory, Mental Derange- 
ment, Paralysis, and Impotency, especially in the two latter cases, the 
most marked and beneficial influence is usually experienced. 
The Simple and the Compound Phosphorus Pills are prepared by 
The New York Pharmaceutical Company, Bedford Mineral Springs, 
Mass., with the greatest care and nicety, expressly for Physicians’ pre- 
scriptions. Price $l.OO per hundred, net. Sent by mail on receipt of

Dr. J. S. Andrews, of Taunton, Mass., a physician of large experi- 
ence, says: “ You ask my experience with the Compound Phosphorus

have not time to specify now the particulars, but can commend them 
as super-excellent in nervous debility.

tions of Dandelion are prescribed, in ninety-nine 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 Dysmenorrhoea, 
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 Dysmenorrhoea, 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.

and palpitation of the heart. The Viburnum Prunifolium, given inter- 
nally. possesses the rare property of closing the os tincca, where the 
mouth of the womb has become relaxed from any cause. Drs. Gray, 
Warner, and Baner, 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.

carminative. Recommended in flatulent colic, dyspepsia, atonic con- 
ditions of the stomach and disorders of the alimentary canal 
Externally applied to indolent ulcers, and to keep up the discharge

iESCULUS GLABRA. 
Buckeye. 
The Bark op the Fruit, 
Properties and Uses. Tonic, astringent, febrifuge, narcotic 
and antisceptic. The Buckeye is without doubt the best remedy 
known for hemorrhoids infernally and externally. Dr. J. G. Vander- 
walker, of La Fayette, Indiana, speaks in the highest terms of the 
efficacy of the Buckeye in the treatment of the above troublesome 
complaint. The Buckeye is the basis of the compound pile remedy, 
the formula for which see on page 57. 
Dose of Hayden’s Saturate, 10 to 15 drops. 
ALTHJEA OFFICINALIS. 
Marsh Mallow. 
The Root. 
Properties and Uses.—The Althaea Officinalis, is demulcent 
and diuretic, and one of our most valuable remedies in all diseases of 
the mucous membrane especially in hoarseness, catarrh, pneumonia, 
gonorrhoea, vesical catarrh and renal irritation. It is also prescribed 
in strangury, inflammation of the bladder, hematuria, retention of 48 
urine, and in all cases where the mucous membrane is involved. 
Externally used in poultices for tumors and swellings, the same as 
slippery elm bark, to which it is superior. 
Dose of Haydens Saturate, one to three tcaspoonfuls. 
ASPARAGUS OFFICINALIS. 
Asparagus. 
The Young Shoots. 
Properties and Uses. Diuretic. A most admirable remedy 
to increase the flow of urine in cases of retention, and said to be of 
essential service in reducing undue excitement of the circulatory 
system, and is likewise recommended in hypertrophy of the heart. 
Dose of Hayden’s Saturate, one to three teaspoonfuls. 
BRYONIA ALBA. 
White Bryonia. 
The Root. 
Properties and Uses. An active Hydragogue Cathartic, much 
employed by Homoeopathic physicians. 
of Hayden’s Saturate, 10 to 30 drops. 
CANNABIS INDICA 
The Tops of the Flowering Plant. 
Foreign Indian Hemp. 
Properties and Uses. Narcotic, anodyne and exhilarant. 
The Cannabis Indica is a good substitute for opium, where that drug 
does or does not agree with the patient. In skillful hands the Indian 
Hemp is a most important agent in the treatment of several diseases. 
It alleviates pain, exhilarates the mind, increases the appetite, and acts 
as a decided aphrodisiac, and induces sleep. 
The Cannabis Indica lias been used with most satisfactory results in 
the treatment of cholera, neuralgia, rheumatism, tetanus and insanity. 
Ten drops of the Saturate are recommended to be given every hour 
in cases of cholera. It is also prescribed with the best results in 
menorrhagia, gonorrhoea, and uterine hemorrhage. Most of the 
Cannabis found in the market is comparatively worthless, hence the 
importance of procuring a reliable article. 
Dose of Hayden’s Saturate, 5 to 10 drops. 
See special remedies on page 59. 49 
CANNABIS SATIVA. 
Indian Hemp. 
Tops of the Flowering Plant. 
Properties and Uses.—Narcotic, anodyne and exhilarant. The 
Cannabis Saliva and the Cannabis Indica are said to be precisely the 
same plants. The former, however, is much cultivated in this country, 
and without doubt its properties are modified and its strength lessened 
by cultivation in our soil and climate. The Cannabis Sativa is a 
favorite remedy with Homoeopathic physicians, and is used in the 
same cases as the Cannabis Indica. 
Dose of Hayden’s Saturate, 10 to 20 drops. 
AGATHOTES CHIRAYTA. 
Chiretta. 
The Entire Plant. 
Properties and Uses. A pure bitter tonic, a favorite remedy 
in India, where it is much employed by both native and foreign 
physicians. It has been introduced into European practice, and is 
highly esteemed by those familiar with its virtues. Recommended in 
dyspepsia, and in the debility of convalescence, and has been suc- 
cessfully employed in intermittants and remittants. 
Dose of Hayden’s Saturate, 15 to 60 drops, diluted with water or 
wine. 
COLINSONIA COMPOSITES 
Collinsonia Compound. 
Properties and Uses. A valuable remedy in valvular disease 
of the heart. Should be given generally in small doses, as it is a 
cumilative. Dose, from 15 to 30 drops, according to the urgency of 
the case. 
Forsiulas. Collinsonia, Helonios, Digitalis, Colchicum Sem. 
GEUM RIVALE. 
Water Avens, Purple Avens. 
Properties and Uses.—Tonic and astringent. Employed in 
numerous diseases, as passive and chronic hemorrhages, diarrhoea, 
dysentery, lucorrhoea, dyspepsia, phthisis, congestion of the abdominal 
viscera, aplhous, ulcerations, etc.

desired effect is produced. In dyspepsia, accompanied by a torpid 
condition of the stomach, give 8 to 10 drops two or three times a day.

TY. 
The Herb. 
Properties and Uses. Anodyne, pectoral, astringent, and 
vermifuge, used in fevers, inflammation, etc., etc. Also said to be an 
antidote for the bite of the rattlesnake. In incontinence of urine in 
children, the Mouse Ear is one of our very best remedies. 
Dose of Hayden’s Saturate, 30 to 60 drops. 
IGNATIA. 
Ignatia Amara. 
Bean of Saint Ignatia. 
Properties and Uses. Same as Nux Vomica. The Ignatia 
Bean usually contains a larger proportion of strychnia than the Nux 
Vomica, and is preferred by some physicians. Great caution should 
be used n prescribing and administering the Ignatia. Dose of 
Hayden’s Saturate, 3 to 8 drops. 
MITCHELLiE COMPOSITUS. 
Partridge Berry Compound. 
Mother’s Cordial, Parturient Balm. 
Properties and Uses. Uterine tonic and antispasmodic. The 
Partridge Berry Compound is much employed and highly esteemed 
by many eclectic physicians who claim for it superior virtues in the 
treatment of amenorrhoea, dysmenorrhoea, menorrhagia, leucorrhoea, 51 
and to overcome the tendency to habitual miscarriage ; pregnant 
females, particularly, those of a delicate and nervous organization are 
recommended to take one or two doses daily for several weeks 
previous to parturition, as it gives strength to the uterine nervous 
system, greatly facilitating labor, and preventing cramps, and other 
unpleasant sequelae. Dose of Hayden’s Saturate, 30 to 60 drops. 
Formula. Partridge Berry, Helonias, High Cranberry Bark, 
Blue Cohosh. 
PULSATILLA NIGRICANS 
Meadow-anemone, Windflower 
Pulsatilla. 
Properties and Uses. Poisonous and acrid. Recommended 
in amaurosis and other diseases of the eye, secondary syphilis, 
cutaneous diseases, and whooping cough, in doses of one to two 
grains. The Saturate applied to the head is said to be a speedy cure 
for tinea capitis. 
The Herb. 
Dose of Hayden’s Saturate, 5 to 10 drops. 
Antidotes : Vinegar, camphor, coffee, and nux vomica. 
ROYAL COW PARSNEP. 
The Seeds. 
Properties and Uses. Stimulant, antispasmodic and car- 
minative. Recommended in asthma, amenorrhoea, dysmenorrhoea, 
palsy, apoplexy, dyspepsia, flatulency, and epilepsy. The Royal Cow 
Parsnep should not be confounded with the Masterwort, Heracleum 
Lanatum, for they are not one and the same; the seeds of the former 
being much larger, and more powerful and pungent. Dr. Clapp, of 
Pawtucket, R. 1., says that the Royal Cow Parsnep Seeds were for- 
merly used with much success in Massachusetts in the treatment and 
cure of epilepsy in children, but that they were not equally successful 
in cases of adults. The Royal Cow Parsnep Seeds are very rare. 
Dose of Hayden’s Saturate, 30 to 60 drops. 
RUDBECKIA LACINIATA. 
Also known as Cone-disk, Sun-jlower, Tall Gone Flower, TTvimbleweed. 
The Whole Plant. 
Properties and Uses. Said to be a valuable diuretic, tonic, 
and balsamic. Used in many diseases of the urinary organs, and 52 
highly extolled In strangury, Bright’s disease, wasting, or atrophy of the 
kidneys, and more recently it has come into high repute as a remedy 
for gonorrhoea and syphilis. 
Dose of Hayden’s Saturate, one to two teaspoonfuls. 
STILLINGIA SYLVATICA 
Queen's Delight, Taw Root, Silver Leaf, Queen's Root. 
The Root. 
Properties and Uses. —ln large doses, emetic and cathartic. 
In small doses it is an alterative of great merit, held in high repute 
by eclectic physicians, who claim for it more importance than any 
other known alterative. It is extensively employed in all forms of 
primary and secondary syphilitic affections, over which it seems to 
exert a specific influence when properly administered. In the various 
types of scrofulous, cutaneous and hepatic diseases, it is used with the 
most gratifying success. Our own experience with the root of the 
Stillingia Sylvatica, simple and combined, has convinced us that it is 
a most valuable remedy in bronchial and laryngeal complaints, and in 
combination with podophyllin, is as near a specific in primary and 
secondary syphilis as any one or more of the articles in the materia 
medica. See special remedies. 
Dose of Hayden’s Saturate, 30 to 60 drops. 
TRIFOLIUM PRATENSE. 
Red Clover. 
The Blossoms. 
Properties and Uses. Alterative, detergent, and discntient. 
Much employed at present internally and externally for cancer, 
scrofula, and all kinds of humors. The extract spread on linen or 
soft leather is said to be an excellent remedy for cancerous ulcers of 
every kind, and for dressing hums. It possesses a peculiar soothing 
property, and promotes healthy granulations, and we have no doubt 
that it is far superior to the Cundurango. 
Dose of Hayden’s Saturate, 30 to "M) drops, and gradually increase 
the dose to two teaspoonfuls. 
WILD SUN FLOWER. 
The Flowers. 
. Properties and Uses.—No writer, as we are aware, (certainly 
none in our reading), has given the botanical name of the Wild Sun 53 
Flower, and it is doubtless the same plant in a wild state as the 
cultivated Helianthus Annuus. 
The Wild Sun Flower is diuretic and expectorant, used in 
bronchial, laryngeal, and in pulmonary complaints. A superior 
remedy for canker in the mouth, stomach and bowels, particularly of 
children.

satisfaction 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
