Excerpt from Saint Louis Clinical Record, 1879, Vol. 6: A Monthly Journal of Medicine and Surgery
I take pleasure in announcing that having perfected arrangements for obtaining a supply of the
Compound Tincture of Neilgherry Bark,
I offer it for your consideration, with the full assurance that you will find it possesses all the valuable properties claimed for it.
It is a well known fact, proven by analysis and clinical use, that the bark grown on the Neilgherry Hills is much richer in the more useful alkaloids than that obtained from any other source. It is also shown conclusively by numerous trials to possess greater febrifuge properties.
This Tincture fairly represents the finest quality of this bark and unlike the separated Alkaloids will not produce quinism or any of the disagreeable sensations sure to follow their use.
In the preparation of this tincture, an extract is first made and purified from all extractive and coloring matters, carefully assayed, and the tincture formed from this containing at all times the definite quantity of ten grains of the combined alkaloids in each fluid ounce, each alkaloid being in the same proportion as originally found in the bark. The vehicle is slightly aromatic and contains a small quantity of Alcohol and Sugar. Although quite bitter the taste is not unpleasant, and in the very large number of cases in which it has been used during the past season, it has proven vastly superior to Quinia in all cases of Intermittents and other diseases having their origin in Malaria, both in the more certain and rapid cure of the disease and in its after effects upon the system. As a tonic in debility, given in small doses, it is more efficacious than any preparation heretofore devised, being less liable to offend the stomach or to irritate the bowels.
The Tincture is put up in six ounce and twelve ounce bottles, labeled simply "Compound Tincture of Neilgherry Bark, prepared by J. C. Richardson," the dose and mode of administration being left to the physician.
