GUANO AUSTRALIS

This substance, which has been used for some years past as manure, is found on the coasts of Patagonia and principally on the Lobos Island near the coast of Peru. We have proved the different varieties of guano, and likewise the crystalline particles formed by the condensation of ammonical vapors which rise from the guano in abundance. Our hope to discover in these crystals a more active normal agent, has not been realized, so that, in the end, we have found tho freshest possible guano preferable for medicinal purposes. It is triturated in the same way as all other substances.
