DR. FOX, OF SHEFFIELD. This eminent botanic doctor, speaking of tonics, says:—"Medicines that increase the tone of the n:\uscular fibre consist of vegetable bitters. These remedies act, by their influence on the digestive organs, and hence on _ the whole system. The use of a bitter principle in vegetables is exemplified in the case of animals which feed on them, for it has been found that if restricted to a food which has not a sufficiency of a bitter principle, they soon become weak and die. The wisdom of Providence is manifested in the ! fact that the majority of plants in the vegetable kingdom contain this bitter principle, so essential to existence." Rhubarb, Oascara, Dandelion, Mav Apple, and other tonic herbs, of this class, enter into the corn position of. that great medicine, Lmpey's May Apple, but so compounded bv special process as to render it most palatable, yet retaining its virtue in the highest degree. Impey's May Appi-e—the Dyspeptic's Tonic. Price, 2s 6d per bottle.—Advt.'
