CHLORODYNE.
VICE-CHANCELLOR WOOD stated that Dr. J. Collis Browne was
undoubtedly the Inventor of Chlorodyne. Eminent hospital Physicians
of London stated that Dr. J. Collis Browne was the discoverer of
Chlorodyne; that they prescribe it largely, and mean no other than
Dr. Browne's.--See _Times_, July 13, 1864. The public, therefore,
are cautioned against using any other than Dr. J. COLLIS BROWNE'S
CHLORODYNE.
THIS INVALUABLE REMEDY produces quiet, refreshing sleep, relieves
pain, calms the system, restores the deranged functions, and
stimulates healthy action of the secretions of the body.
_From_ J. M'GRIGOR CROFT, _M.D., M.R.C. Physicians, London,
late Staff-Surgeon to H.M.F._
"After prescribing Dr. J. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne, for
the last three years, in severe cases of Neuralgia and Tic
Doloreux, I feel that I am in a position to testify to
its valuable effects. Really in some cases it acted as a
charm, when all other means had failed. Without being asked
for this report, I must come forward and state my candid
opinion that it is a most valuable medicine."
_From_ JNO. E. GOULSTONE, _M.D., Knighton_.
"I can confidently state that Chlorodyne is an admirable
Sedative and Anti-Spasmodic, having used it in Neuralgia,
Hysteria, Asthma, and Consumption, with remarkably
favourable results. It relieved a fit of Asthma in four
minutes, where the patient had suffered eleven years in a
most distressing manner, no previous remedy having had so
immediate and beneficial an effect."
No home should be without it. Sold in bottles, 2s. 9d. and 4s. 6d.

Transcriber's Notes
Minor punctuation typos and Index page numbers were silently
corrected. The "possible typos" listed below might be the antiquated
spelling of words in common usage at the time, rather than actual
typesetting errors. All the dialect and intentionally misspelled words
were retained as in the original book.
Page 6: Possible typo: "sucking-pig" for "suckling-pig".
Page 10: Changed "were" to "where."
