MUNYON’S KIDNEY CURE.
This is sold by Munyon’s Homœopathic Home Remedy Company from an address in London, but is stated to be “Manufactured in U.S. of America.” The price is 1s. a bottle, containing 132 pilules.
The directions are: “Four pellets every hour,” which must at least keep the patient amused.
The label bears the words:
Cures Bright’s disease, gravel, all urinary troubles, and pain in the back or groins from kidney diseases.
The following extracts are from a circular enclosed with the bottle:
Munyon’s Improved Homœopathic Remedies are radically different from those used by the regular school of homœopathy or any other system of medicine. We have the true cure for the most obstinate as well as the most intricate of diseases. The whole secret of Munyon’s Remedies is the science of combining and harmonizing all drugs that are known to cure certain diseases, so that by our special combinations we cover every phase of the case, no matter what the complaint. There is no experimenting, no guesswork, but an absolutely fixed law of cure.
Munyon’s Kidney Cure has no equal. It cures pain in the back, loins, or groins, from kidney disease, puffy and flabby face, dropsy of the feet and limbs, frequent desire to pass water, scanty urine, dark-coloured and turbid urine sediment in the urine, gravel in the bladder, and too-great a flow of urine.
The pilules were found to vary much in size, the average weight being 0·6 grain. Analysis showed them to consist of ordinary white sugar; no trace could be detected of any alkaloid or other active principle, or of any medication. The sugar was determined quantitatively, and found to be just 100·0 per cent. of the weight of the pilules.
Estimated cost of contents of bottle, one thirty-fifth of a penny.
