Formula No. 261 has a slight action on the bowels. In the event it should not act sufficiently, Formula No. 65: System Regulator Capsules (System Regulator) should be used in
conjunction with it. It is of utmost importance that the bowels should be well
regulated. The herbs used in this formula have a tendency to reduce the acid in
the system and are therefore highly beneficial in all rheumatic conditions, such
as, Rheumatism, Lameness, Pain and Swelling in the Joints, Pain and Stiffness in
the Back, Hips and Loins.
