“... Colalin not only acts as a solvent of cholesterin calculi, but prevents their further formation by removing the causes upon which their development depends.”
This conveys the impression that such solvent action is exerted in the body, that is, that such concretions in the gallbladder may be dissolved and evacuated by the use of Colalin. For this claim there is no evidence.
“To understand the value of Colalin in intestinal disorders it is necessary to bear in mind the important functions of the bile in the intestinal canal, namely, its participation in the digestion of fats, its antitoxic action, and its influence upon the peristalsis.”
“... through its antiseptic influence inhibits the production of toxins in the intestines.”
The referee believes that there is no satisfactory evidence that bile or bile salts can inhibit the production of toxins in that part of the intestine—the colon—in which they are commonly produced.—(From Reports of Council on Pharmacy and Chemistry, 1918, p. 52.)
