DIOVIBURNIA

A Powerful Uterine Tonic and Antispasmodic.

The most PERFECT compound EVER OFFERED to the MEDICAL PROFESSION for the relief of the following female disorders: DYSMENORRHOEA, AMENORRHOEA, MENORRHAGIA, LEUCORRHŒA, SUBINVOLUTION, PUERPERAL CONVULSIONS, RELAXED conditions of UTERUS and APPENDAGES, and THREATENED ABORTION; directing its action in a most remarkable manner to the entire UTERINE system as a general tonic and ANTISPASMODIC, and in cases of impaired vitality, COMPLETE RESTORATION FOLLOWS ITS USE.

This happy combination is the result of an EXTENSIVE PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE RUNNING THROUGH A SERIES OF YEARS, in which the constituent parts have been FULLY TESTED, singly and in combination, in various proportions, until PERFECTION has been ATTAINED.

We, with the profession, have no regard for secret remedies.

DIOVIBURNIA

is prepared for prescribing exclusively, and the Formula as given, will commend itself to every intelligent physician.

FORMULA:

VIBURNUM PRUNIFOLIUM, VIBURNUM OPULUS, DIOSCOREA VILLOSA, ALETRIS FARINOSA,
HELONIAS DIOICA, MITCHELLA RÉPENS, CAULOPHYLLUM THALIS-
TROIDES, SCUTELLARIA LÁTERIFLORA.

Every ounce contains 34 dram each, of the fluid extracts.

DOSE: For adults from a dessert to a tablespoonful three times a day, after meals. In urgent cases where there is much pain, doses may be given every hour or two, always in hot water.

The skill of a highly accomplished pharmacist and thorough chemist was required to combine the resinoids in a palatable, effective and elegant form, and at the same time retain and enhance the therapeutical action. Jno. B. Johnson, M.D., Professor of the Principles and Practice of Medicine, St. Louis Medical College.

ST. LOUIS, June 20, 1888.

I very cheerfully give my testimony to the virtues of a combination of vegetable remedies prepared by a wellknown and able pharmaceutist of this city and known as DIOVIBURNIA, the component parts of which are wellknown to any and all physicians who desire to know the same, and therefore have no relation to proprietary or quack remedies. I have employed this medicine in cases of dysmenorrhea, suppression of the catamenia, and in excessive leucorrhea and have been much pleased with its use. I do not think its claims (as set forth in the circular accompanying it) to be at all excessive. I recommend its trial to all who are willing to trust to its efficacy, believing it will give satisfaction. Respectfully,

L. Ch. Boisliniere, M.D., Prof. Obstetrics, St. Louis Medical
College.
ST. Louis, June 18, 1888.

I have given DIOVIBURNIA a fair trial and found it useful as an uterine tonic and antispasmodic, relieving the pains of dysmenorrhea and regulator of the uterine functions. I feel authorized to give this recommendation of DIOVIBURNIA as it is neither a patented nor a secret medicine, the formula of which having been communícated freely to the medical profession.

L Ch. Boislinieɛe MD.

H. Tuholske, M.D., Professor Clinical Surgery and Surgical Pathology, Missouri Medical College; also PostGraduate School, St. Louis. ST. LOUIS. June 23, 1888. I have used DIOVIBURNIA quite a number of times; sufficiently frequently to satisfy myself of its merits. It is of unquestionable benefit in painful dysmenorrhea, it possesses antispasmodic properties which seem especially to be exerted on the uterus.
