This remedy is for increasing the strength, improving the appetite, and clearing the head.
Will it, therefore, set a broken arm or draw a tooth?
Most certainly not.

I can draw a tooth for you, if you like it (by-the-by, some think I have a gift that way, but self-praise is no recommendation); I can draw a tooth, I say, no matter with how many fangs; but this medicine cannot.

Does it follow, then, that it will cure a cough or sore throat?
Not at all.

Here, if you like (taking up another bottle) is something that will, but what is that to the purpose?
Will it cure sore eyes?
No; or sprains?
Far from it.

No, no, my most excellent ladies and gentlemen, let us not form unreasonable expectations; day is not night; summer is not winter; nor is a horse-medicine a febrifuge.
