BILIOUSNESS.

Liver disturbance, more especially that known un-der the name of biliousness, is one of the great cursesof the Anglo-Saxon race, and more especially thatportion of it inhabiting the American Continent.

Having been engaged for more than thirty years ingeneral practice, time and again—yes, hardly a dayand scarcely a week passes but the problem of bilious-ness or liver inaction is or has been before me. Howoften does it occur to every practitioner to see caseafter case that shows marked manifestation of defec-tive hepatic action. Now, Ido not propose to lay allthe diseases that flesh is heir to at the door of thismuch-abused organ, but I know that all unbiasedobservers of any reasonable degree of experience willagree with me in attributing a large amount of suffer-ing and distress to the impaired function of the liver.

Some six months ago my attention was called tothe preparation manufactured by the Peacock Chem-ical Co., of St. Louis, called Chionia, prepared fromChionanthus Virginica , Fringe Tree or Old Man’sBeard, which though unoflicinal in the U. S. Pharma-copoeia, like many other unoflicinal plants and herbs,may prove more valuable than hosts of those that aredesignated as oflicinal.

I have used the Chionia in quite a series of cases ofbiliousness with most satisfactory results, whether dueto torpid liver, induced by errors in diet or regimen,or to preceding attacks of chronic malarial poisoning.

As the Peacock Chemical Co. justly claims, it cer-tainly stimulates the liver and restores it to a healthycondition, without debilitating the system by exces-

Peacock’s Bromides and Chionia have given mesuch universal satisfaction that I will give a few lineson my success with them : The Chionia I adminis-tered in a case of biliary calculi of some five or sixyears standing with frequent biliary colics, which hadbeen treated by three other physicians with nosuccess.I was at that time a graduate in medicine, and also anew man here, but having had some excellent resultsin a then recent case, was called in to treat this, andwith Chionia almost alone 1 have succeeded in pre-venting a single recurrence of the colicky attacks, itbeing now nine months since I took the ease. Theattacks occurred every two weeks or thereabout. Thepatient now has a clear complexion, and says she wasnever in better health than now. She takes one bottleof Chionia now every other month or so. I keepPeacock’s Chionia on my little table all the time, andcarry it in my case most of the time.

I gave Peacock’s Chionia to a young man whom Ihave been treating for liver trouble for a long time.I had used everything that I could think of with indif-ferent success. Sometimes he would appear to bebetter, but the improvement was only temporary. Atfirst mercurials seemed to give him relief, but becom-ing slightly salivatedI had to stop using them. Nitromur. acid and a dozen other so-called hepatic stimu-lants failed to give any permanent relief. He becamevery low-spirited, lost his energy, skin BuJ, conjunc.

tiva muddy and yellowish. He said he would will-ingly pay one hundred dollars for any medicine thatwould relieve him, and I finally concluded to procurea bottle of Chionia, as I had seen it highly recom-mended in similar cases. After taking one bottle thepatient said that he felt better than he had for morethan a year, and said he thought he would be all rightwithout taking any more medicine. However, I gavehim another bottle; since taking that he is entirelyrelieved, and I have heard no complaint from him,though several months have elapsed. I got my drug-gist to order a lot, and have prescribed it severaltimes recently. I shall continue to prescribe Chioniafor biliary troubles. E. Woolfolk, M. D.,

Peacock’s Chionia I tried in two cases of longstanding biliousness in which it acted like a charm,clearing the complexion, relieving the engorged andnon-acting liver, restoring the appetite, and healthycolor to the patient. I think it will form a valuableaddition to our remedies for biliousness and jaundice.

Nottingham, Md. W. W. Waring, M. D.,Graduate University of Maryland.

I prescribed Chionia in cases of infants andchildren who were attacked with malaria, bilious andjaundiced, this also acted like a charm, and thebeauty of it is not disagreeable to taste, one of ourgreatest drawbacks in prescribing for children. Ican therefore, from ray experience, heartily recom-mend these preparations as being all that is claimedfor them. H. SCHOENFELD, M. D.,

Peacock’s Chionia was administered to a lady whofor several years had been a sufferer from biliouscolic caused from partial stenosis of the biliary duct;she had just gotten over a very severe attack whenshe sent for me. I found her very jaundical andbadly constipated, stools slate or gray colored, whichthey had been for years. I placed her upon Chionia,ten drops every two hours, to clear up the previousattacks. Her bowels speedily returned to activity,stools became natural in color and consistence,jaundice disappeared and she wms in a fair way tohealth. She said she felt well, and that her bowelswere acting better than they had for years.

CONSTIPATION.

The following case occurred in ray practice in thelatter months of 1891, and I have purposely withhelda report of it until now, in order not only to give thegood results of treatment, but also and especially toshow the permanency of such treatment toward a fulland unqualified recovery. Mr. H. L., a farmer nearWashington, Mo., about 40 years of age, in easy cir-cumstances and enjoying good health previously, pre-sented himself for treatment. Has been sick for overfour years, and on examination gave the followingdata: Weight, 115 lbs. ; pulse, 85 per min., irregu-lar and rising, obstinate constipation, with abdominalpain and insomnia. A few months after being firsttaken sick, inaction of the liver, combined with a pro-nounced palavity of the muscular intestinal coats, re-sulted in constant spasmodic pain over the abdominal,hepatic and spinal regions ; an action from the bowelswas often dela}r ed a week or ten days. Headache andpain of shoulders, arms and back were added. Sleepwas obtained only at irregular intervals of short dura-tion, during day and night, loss of appetite and fleshprogressive, finally resulting in emaciation. Normalweight, 180 lbs; when seen, 115 lbs. Digestion wasmuch impaired, his food consisted of articles in fluidforms as prescribed by the physician, a marked wantof power in deglutition rendering the ingestion ofsolids almost impossible. The treatment prescribedwhen this patient came under my care, consisted ofChionia, as prepared by the Peacock Chemical Co., ofSt. Louis, in teaspoonful doses three times, afterwardsfour times, daily. To insure rest and sleep, Pea-cock’s Bromides, one teaspoonful, increased to one

and a half, was ordered at bedtime, to be repeatedif in two or three hours wakefulness should return,A few doses of the Hunyadi Janos Mineral Waterwere given the first two days, which acted satisfac-torily. In addition I wrote a list of dietary articlesand their quantity for each meal, enjoining exer-cise with tbe aid of a male nurse, and twice daily athorough massage, anointing the body afterwards,under friction with a turkish towel, with codliver oil.No other remedies were used. Mr. L. returned tome after six weeks so much improved that he himselfclaimed a new lease on life. I ordered, however, acontinuance of the treatment of Chionia and massagefor two months longer, and towards fall the same yearthe brother-in-law of Mr. L., informed me that myformer patient was fully recovered and capable ofsuperintending the management of his plantation.Peacock’s Chionia deserves the credit of success inthis case.

Mrs. B. aged thirty-five, has been suffering fromtorpid liver and constipation for many years, for whichall the remedies recommended were tried, with buttemporary relief.

I at once began the use of Chionia, in teaspoonfuldoses, three times a day After giving it in this dosefor two weeks, I gave it only twice a day, then onedose daily, and in this way gradually discontinuedits use.

After taking the Chionia a few days, the yellowishhue of the skin disappeared, her appetite returned,and her bowels, which had not moved in three yearswithout the aid of drugs or enema, now began to

From my experience with Chionia, I would recom-mend it in preference to all other preparations for theailments mentioned. M. Augsburger, M. 1).,

I was called about January Ist, to see a boy twoand one-half years old who had suffered with chronicconstipation from birth and had been under treatmentby other physicians from his birth until the time I sawhim. I treated him until about April 15th, with any-thing but flattering results. When on becomingacquainted with Chionia 1 sent him a two ounce bot-tle with directions to give one teaspoonful three timesdaily. (Large dose for child, but he required nearlyas much medicine as an ordinary adult to move hisbowels.) When the two ounces were used up themother reported him much better, and at the presenttime, under the same treatment, he is much betterthan at any time since his birth.

I must say that Peacock’s Chionia is superior toall other preparations of the kind. I gave it athorough test, and find it to be just what it is recom-mended to be. I will not do without it in my practice.Gave the Chionia in a case of constipation of tenyears’ standing, which yielded to one bottle.

The Chionia I used in a case of habitual constipa-tion in a married lady, age 29, been married nearlyfour years, had two children. She said she had takenpills of all kinds to cause free action on bowels, butthe more she took them the more she needed them,and she would go two or three days and have no diffi-culty. She could not take pills any more. I gaveher Peacock's Chionia, she says it helped her morethan anything she ever took, and thinks by the timeshe takes another bottle, she will have overcome hertrouble. W. B. Goodman, M. D.,

I have always been opposed to using or prescrib-ing proprietary medicines. I had obstinate consti-pation with severe spells of flatulent colic. Aftertaking Chionia three times a day in teaspoonfuldoses, for three or four days, the trouble was re-moved, or very greatly alleviated. Since then I havetaken a dose once in three or four nights on going tobed, and have had but one bad spell since, and 1think that was due to neglect of the medicine. Un-like many medicines of its kind it does its workkindly and without sickness or pain, and is not un-pleasant to the taste. I think it a highly valuablepreparation to overcome chronic constipation, and torelieve all those anomalies and annoying symptomsthat follow in its train.

DYSPEPSIA.

I have become more than ever convinced of theefficacy of Peacock’s Chionia, in all diseased andtorpid conditions of the liver. I have recently beentreating an intractable case of dyspepsia; the casedid not seem amenable to the usual treatment, andfrom certain symptoms, and a sallow complexionpeculiar to liver troubles, I made up my mind thatthat organ was particularly in fault. Administeringat first a purgative dose of calomel, I prescribed Pea-cock’s Chionia, in one-drachm doses twice a day.For the dyspepsia I had given at different timeshydrastis, bismuth, zinci oxid. and pepsin, and acidihydrochlor dil., tinct. valerian, bismuth. The patientcould not say that any relief was experienced untilshe had taken the Chionia for two or three days,when she began to improve, and her manners andexpressions from day to day indicated that she wasgradually being relieved of the distressing symptomswhich had caused her much suffering for weeks andmonths. I might add that her dyspepsia was that ofthe atonic form, with the unpleasant sensations,burning, gnawing sense of constriction, pain aftereating, general debility and nervousness, with palpi-tation and headache. I am inclined to the beliefthat Peacock’s Chionia played an important role inthe treatment of this case. Rest assured that I shallprescribe it when indicated.

JAUNDICE. 19

JAUNDICE.

I first tried Peacock’s Chionia on myself and after-wards on several patients and my experience has beenin every case without a single exception most gratify-ing. The liver is a very much neglected organ bymany physicians, they deem remedies that are adaptedfor its derangement as of minor importance, but inthis latitude where biliousness, jaundice, constipationand in fact all the diseases too numerous to mentionnow, and that are caused by torpidity of the liver,there has been urgent need of just such a standardpreparation as Peacock’s Chionia represents. Insumming up the results of my experience in the useof Chionia, I can candidly say that it has proven aperfect success, indeed almost a “cure-all” in all theintestinal diseases originating from a deranged actionof the liver. H. S. P. Lake, M. D.,

I was called to see an old lady, who was sufferingintensely from biliary colic; she had had repeatedattacks, was weak, emaciated and jaundiced, and herfamily thought she would not survive. After reliev-ing the most urgent symptoms, the jaundice still re-maining, 1 prescribed Peacock’s Chionia ; this shecontinued taking until several bottles had been used.She has not required medicaladvice since last Novem-ber, and her daughter tells me she has had no returnof the attack, her complexion is clear, and her healthgood. Prior to my seeing her for a year or more she

had repeated attacks, and toward the last recurringat intervals of two or three weeks. I give Peacock’sChionia the credit for the relief obtained in her case.I have prescribed it on several occasions since fortorpid liver, and the results were satisfactory, A fewdays ago I began taking it for biliousness and consti-pation, and will continue its use in my practice.

I take pleasure in recommending your preparationsto the profession.

Iused it successfully in a protracted case of hemor-rhagic fever in the convalescing stage. It acted likemagic. The jaundice was quickly removed and mypatient had a good recovery. For the sake ofemphasis, I will repeat, as a hepatic stimulant it hasno equal in my opinion. F. P. Gates, M. D.,

Bayboro, N. C. Graduate Bellevue Hospital MedicalCollege.

I may state that the hepatic torpor of the liverindicated by jaundice, discoloration of the skin,promptly yielded to Peacock’s Chionia, the bowelsreturned to their natural condition, the bitter, un-pleasant condition of the tongue has disappeared.Its use by us has been all that could have been desired.

HEPATIC TORPOR. 25

My patient, a man about sixty years old, bad anenlarged liver of about two months’ standing, so thatwhen lying he felt the organ flop from side to side ashe turned on either side. The enlargement filled theepigastric space, protruding past the edge of theribs. The action of Peacock’s Chioxia in this casewas prompt and decisive. In about one week theswelling had materially diminished. The patient isnow well. Shall continue to use it where indicated.

I was called April 15th, to see A. K., a wealthyfarmer, who had been confined to his bed for aboutfour months, and whose case had been pronouncedhopeless by several physicians. I did not learn thediagnosis that the other physicians had given of thecase. The first day I saw him he wanted me to makean incision into the stomach and see if I could ascer-tain what the trouble was, but I diagnosed the caseas congestion of the liver, and I gave him Peacock’sChioxia and it worked like a charm. In a short timehe was walking around the yard. Chioxia is anexcellent preparation in hepatic troubles.

with discouraging results. The Chionia successfullymet the indications by stimulating the liver, increas-ing the How of bile and exciting peristaltic action,thus overcoming the constipation in a physiologicalway. The result was so gratifying that I shallfurther test the remedy in suitable cases.

I must say that Chionia is the remedy par excel-lence where the stomach and liver seem to have noreaction after mercurials, but the tongue remainscoated, with no appetite and a feeling of fullness inthe stomach and large bowel (or colon). In thesecases Chionia fills the bill, cleaning the tongue andrestoring the secretions to normal, healthy conditions.I have used the fluid extract of chionanth, but havefound trouble to get the patients to take it, but withChionia 1 have had no complaint.
