MATHE Y-CA YLUS' S GLUTEN CAPSULES ADMITTED TO THE UNIVERSAL EXHIBITION OF 1855. Adopted and recommended by the First Physicians of the Faculty of Paris, of the London College of Physicians, and the most eminent Professors of the different Hospitals, FOR THE Prompt and Radical Cure of Gleets, Chronic or Recent, Fluor Albus,&e. NOTICE. The therapeutic advantages of Copaiba have long caused it to be regarded by medical practitioners as the only specific for the treatment of Gonorrhoea; but they too frequently found that its nauseous odour and acrid repulsive taste, excited such repugnance in their patients that it could seldom be employed. This serious inconvenience it was most important to remove, if it could be done without diminishing the curative properties of a medicament so much the more valuable, as no other possesses the same efficacy. It is now generally acknowledged that, of all the means proposed for this purpose, none will bear comparison for therapeutic value and excellence of preparation with the Gluten Capsules.* Indeed, this ingenious process, approved by the Academy of Medicine, and recommended in the clinical lectures of eminent professors, especially of Dr. Record, perfectly fulfils all the conditions required to render the use of Copaiba easy and beneficial. Thanks to recent innovations, our Gluten Capsules have attained a degree of perfection which entitles them to a place among the most valuable pharmaceutical preparations. Many distinguished physicians who have frequently had occasion to proscribe them express them- selves highly satisfied with the results obtained, declaring that they look upon their invention as a new service rendered to the treatment of blennorrhagic affections, and arc so far convinced of their efficacy, that they now prefer this to every other mode of administering Copaiba, whether pure or mixed with other medicinal substances, t • Gluten is a peculiar substance extracted from wheaten Hour, of which it constitutes the essentially nutritive clement. + Wt may wglwhUy mention Mkssiis.
