As in the following new Catalogue and Price-Current of our Medicinal
preparations, we have made some change of prices, an explanation seems
necessary. Our object in new modeling the prices was neither to enhance
nor diminish their amount, but simply, to fix them in conformity with the
United States currency. In doing this we have made as exact an equation
as we conveniently could, and while some prices have been a little
raised, others have been correspondingly diminished. All the articles, which
in the former Catalogue were set at 314 and 373 have been changed as to
price. Those of 374 have been either raised to 40 or lowered to 35 cents;
while those of 314 have been uniformly lowered to 30 or 25 cents. And
as upon the whole there has been no augmentation of price, we trust the
arrangement will be satisfactory to all concerned. Our articles are put
quite as low as we can afford, and by a comparison with Eastern prices, it
will be found that in many articles we aré from 5 to 50, and in some cases
even 100 per cent. below them. * -
All the articles are prepared with care and fidelity. The various herbs
and roots are collected in the season proper to each; and always dried un-
der shelter; the more crude parts being rejected. The herbs are neatly
pressed and labelled in packages of # 3 & 1 lb. each; the roots are mostly put
up in 1 lb. packages—some in lbs.
Our Extracts and Inspissated Juices, are prepared by experienced per-
sons, and uniſormly evaporated by a vapor bath, so constructed that it is
hardly possible to burn them. And these as well as all our other prepara-
tions are such as we can confidently recommend.
Orders will be attended to at all seasons, but customers are requested to
forward them in the Spring, and thus give time for collection in the proper
Beason. This is more especially necessary when large amounts are want-
ed, as we do not collect more than we can probably sell in a season, so
that our articles may be always fresh. *
tº-A uniform discount of thirty per cent. from the catalogue prices will
be made to wholesale purchasers, and to regular yearly customers.
ORDERS addressed to S. Easton, Union Village, Lebanon Post Office,
Ohio, will meet with prompt attention. *
W. H. Harrison, Corner of Fourth and Main St’s Cincinnati, and I.
Schoonmaker & Co. Wood St. Pittsburgh, are agents for the sale of our

eonvenient, purchasers may be accommodated by application to them.

II: Of the above, though placed under the general head of Extracts, the following are
always Jaspissated Juices;Belladonna, Cicuta, Poke, Henbane, Lettuce, Thornapple and
Tomato. As mere Extracts of the Narcotic plants are non-officirial preparations, we nev-
er make them; but follow carefully, the directions of the United States Dispensatory.
The prices however, of these articles, are set down at the common rate of extracts, though
it is customary to charge double price for Inspissated Juices. Hence it will be seen that
our articles of this class are very low.
# JVote.—Both tºe Simple and Compound Extracts of Colocynth are prepared from the
Hybrid Colocynth, which was originated at Union Village, Ohio, in 1842. This Hybrid
was produced by planting the seeds of the genuiue colocynth, and at the proper time the
flowers of the colocynth plant were fecundated with pollen from those of the water-nel-
lon. Hence we have given the plant thus derived, the Botanical name of Cucumis colo-
cynthis hybridum. But we propose to call it the American Colocynth, and give it the
botonical name Colocynthis Americana. The following reasons for this are respectful-
ly submitted. . It is now reduced to a certainty that the Colocynth does not belong to the
enus Cucumis where botanists have placed it. It has no resemblance to the sucumber;
ãut both the plant and its fruit have a striking similarity to the Watermelon; and the
fact that it freely mixes with the latter plant demonstrates that it belongs to the same ge-
nus. It ought therefore to be put in the gentis Cucurbitas: . In all the editions of the
United States Dispensatory previous to that of 1845, (6th Ed.) the Colocynth is called
the “bitter cucumber,” and said to “bear considerable resemblance to the cucumber of

our gardens.” This mistake was pointed out by the writer to the learned and much re-
spected author of the Dispensatory previous to issuing the Sixth Edition. Consequently
the description was altered and jhe plant described as resembling the water melon; and
the following uote appealed by the author. o &
“In a letter rom R. W. Pelbaum, of the Shaker’s Village near Lebanon Ohio, the au-
thor was informed that a hybrid plant between the colocynth and water-melon had been
successfully cultivated in that place, and yielded a bitter fruit having the medical vir-
tues of Colocynth. With the letter I received some seeds of the plant, and a portion of
extract prepared from the pulp of the fruit. This was found upon trial to be actively
cathartic. Tbe seeds plauted in the garden pf the author, produced vigorous plants,
which perſected their fruit. The plant appeared intermediate between the colocynth and
water melon. The fruit was globular, about four inches in diameter, green like the water
melon externally, havºog º be same odor when cut, but of an extremely bitter taste. A
ortion of the pulp was dryed; but we have not had an opporiumty of testiog its virtues.”
. S. Disp. 6th Eq. p. 260.
Seeing then that the foreign Colocynth does not properly belong to the genus Cucumis;
and that the hybrid is really a distinct plant from either the colocynth or water melon;
and above all, considering the importance of a distinct name in a medical point of
view, to prevent mistakes or impositions, we respectfully propose the above name for the
hybrid plants. We also propose for the name of the Simple Extract, -Eact, of American
Colocynth; Ect. Colocynthidis Americanoe. And for the Compound Extract. Eact, Col-
ocynthidis Americaqa Compositum. As far as these extracts have been tested, they are
uniformily approved and are considered by physicians equal to any preparations gº the
kind. But as they are somewhat new, we add to what has already been given, theº" ol-
lowing certificate politely handed us by the subscriber, and which we consider the very
highest recommendation, both for these and our other Medicinal preparations. .
“I have pleasure in saying that I have used the extracts of Sarsaparilla, Hybrid Colo-
cynth, and the Belladonna prepared at Union Village by A. Babbit & Co. and that I have
never found better articles of the kind. From the fidelity, with which these articles are
prepared. I can have no doubt that other medicines pièpared and vended by them are
of prime quality, and may be ſully relied on.

: This popular and universally approved preparation of Sarsaparilla, is prepared in the
3 United Society, and kept constantly on hand for sale, wholesale and retail. It now con-
fessedly takes the entire precedence of every other preparation of sarsaparilla before the
public. As to the Medical qulities of Sarsaparilla, we would say in the language of the
United States Dispensatory that: “Experience both among regular Physicians and em-
- pirics would seem to have placed its efficacy beyond reasonable doubt, and at this mo-
ment its reputation is as high as at any former period. Its most extensive use and appli-
cation is in the treatment of Secondary Syphilis and Syphiloid diseases; and that shatter-
ed state of the system which sometimes follows the imprudent use of Mercury. It is al-
so employed in Chronic Rheumatism, Scrofulus affections, certain cutaneous complaints,
and other depraved conditions of the body to which the Physician may find it difficult to
apply a name. A similar account of its virtues is given in substance, in “Hoopers Medic-
al Dictionary.” and we add from our own experience of its use, that it is highly beneficial
in recent tickling coughs, arising from colds and slight bronchial inflamations. It allays
the tickling sensation, always palliates, and frequently effects a complete cure in a short
time. Thus frequently arresting a disease in its incipient stage, which might otherwise

tincture is also prepared, where there is attendant debility. The extract is excellent in
dispepsia. Dose, 5 grains three times a day. V
