DR. McMUNN'S ELIXIR OF OPIUM.

This is the pure and essential extract from the native drug.
It contains all the valuable medicinal properties of Opium in natural combi-
nation, to the exclusion

of all its noxious, deleterious, and useless principles,
upon which its bad effects depend.

It possesses all the sedative, anodyne
and antispasmodic powers of Opium,-

To produce sleep and composure.
To relieve pain and irritation, nervous excitement, and morbid irritability of
To allay convulsive and spasmodic actions.

And being purified from all the noxious and deleterious elements, its opera-
tion is attended by
No sickness of the stomach, no vomiting, no costiveness, no headache.
Nor any derangement of the constitution or general health.
Hence its high superiority over Laudanum, Paregoric, Black Drop, Denarco-
tized Laudanum, and every other opiate preparation.

The Elixir of Opium is also greatly superior to Morphine,
1. In its containing all the active medical virtues of Opium in its native com-
bination, and in being its full representative, while Morphine, being only one
of its principles, cannot alone, and that in an artificial state of combination too,
produce all the characteristic effects of so triumphant a remedy, when four or
five of its other valuable principles are excluded.

2. In its effects, the Elixir is more characteristic, permanent and uniform
than any of the Artificial compounds of Morphine.

3. And as a preparation it is not liable to decompose or deteriorate like the solutions of Morphine; and thus is obviated a serious objection, which has prevented the latter from being used with precision and effect.

To speak summarily, the Elixir of Opium, as a remedy, may be adopted in all cases in which either opium or its preparations are administered, with the certainty of obtaining all their salutary and happy effects, without being followed by their distressing and pernicious consequences.

TESTIMONIALS.
From Dr. James Heron, President of the Medical Society of Orange Co., N. Y.,

of which Dr. McMunn is a Member.
This certifies, that I have used of Dr. McMunn's Elixir of Opium, and do find it to be prefer-
able to Opium and its tinctures, in that it is not followed by the pain in the head, nausea, dry and
bitter mouth and constipation, so generally consequent upon the use of that drug. And I do be-
lieve his preparation at least equally beneficial with the other combinations of Morphia.
WARWICK, Oct. 17, 1849.

JAMES HERON, Physician and Surgeon.
Dr. Mitchell's Trials of the Elixir of Opium in the Hospitals.
Dr. J. B. McMUNN.

NEW YORK, February 8th, 1837. Dear Sir:- I have made repeated trials of your “Elixir of Opium” in the City and Marine Hospitals, and find it to possess the anodyne and sedative powers of the ordinary preparations of Opium, without producing the excitement, headache, nausea and constipation, which in many cases render those preparations objectionable. Its effects are more permanent and uniform than those of Morphine.

Yours, &c.,

C. L. MITCHELL, M.D., Resident Physician, New York Hospital.
Drs. Van Hoevenbergh and Allen's trials of the Elixir of Opium in the Bellevue

Hospital,
This is to certify that Dr. J. B. McMunn's Elixir of Opium has been used in several cases at
the Bellevue Hospital, with the most satisfactory effects, when the usual preparations of Opium
have proved injurious.
The undersigned

are fully convinced that it possesses the sedative properties of the latter, without producing constipation of the bowels or any unpleasant symptons.

BLANCARD'S PILLS
OF UNCHANGEABLE IODIDE OF IRON.

THE ONLY FORMULA ADOPTED BY THE

French Academy of Medicine,

AUTHORIZED BY THE MEDICAL BOARD OF ST. PETERSBURG, HONORABLE MENTIONS AT THE UNIVERSAL EXHIBITIONS,

In New York, 1855, and Paris, 1855.

"I would add that I have already prescribed, with advantage, the pills prepared according to the formula of M. Blancard, and that the end of the perfect preservation of the iodide of iron is completely attained. This excellent medicine will be more frequently prescribed in future than it has been." -- Bouchardat, Annuaire de Therapeutique pour l' Annee 1851, p. 199.

Every physician, every work of medicine, regards the iodide of iron as an excellent preparation, which unites the properties of both iodide and iron. It is especially useful in chlorotic, strumous and tuberculous affections, in leucorrhoea, amenorrhea, &o; it strengthens lymphatic and debilitated systems.

Each pill contains one grain of iodide of iron, and is covered with one-fifth of a grain of minutely pulverized iron, and the whole coated with a layer of balsam of tolu. Dose, 2 to 4 pills a day.

N. B-Iodide of iron, which is impure, or which has undergone a change, is an uncertain, and sometimes a dangerous remedy, in consequence of the presence of free iodine; the physician can always assure himself of the purity of Blancard's Pills, by means of the seal of reactive silver which accompanies them. None are genuine which bave not this reactive silver seal attached to the lower part of the cork, a green label bearing the following inscription :

General Depot in the U. S.,

Ar E. & S. FOUGERA, New York.

And the fac simile of Blancard, as here represented.
