"During several years, I have used Aletris cordial for irregular and suppressed menses, and have yet to see one failure. It is alike indicated when the courses are painful, whether scanty or excessive. It cures Leucorrhea - Falling and displacement of the womb - Sterility. If miscarriage is threatened, it should be taken until the dreaded period is passed some weeks.
"For malposition and version of the womb, this tonic is sufficient without supporters. Ladies broken down, and worn out with womb troubles, suffering with debility and loss of appetite, will find the Aletris a positive blessing, restoring to health and bloom. " One drachm of Aletris, in 4 ounces of sherry wine, a teaspoonful 3 times a day, may answer in place of the cordial.
