I felt an immediate sen sation of ease and relief from every dose I took, and always felt myfelf secure from that alarming symptom the black vomit whenever they puffed through the stomach. and I ever found this the case with all my patients; my wife and two servants in my family were ill of the fever, but liappilv recovered upon a free use of the pills.
