PUBLIC ATTENTION
]S respectfully solicited by the subscriber, to an in
valuable preparation, the merits of which have
been tested by time, and are sustained by undoubted
testimony
DR. RELFE’S BOTANICAL DROPS
are every year increasing their long established repu
tation. Thev have outlived many rival preparations,
and are continually gaining upon public confidence.
The Botanical Drops have beea successfully admin
istered for many years, as a thorough remedy for that
well known and prevalent class of inveterate diseases
which originate from a vitiated habit of body, or an he
reditary predisposition in the patient, and generally
appear under the various and distressing shapes of
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St Anthony s Fire,
Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Fonl and Ob
stinate Ulcers, Sore Legs and Eyes, Scald Head, and
VenerealTaint.
In the last mentioned condition of the system, the
Botanical Drop, will be found to eradicate the lurk
inir poison, where mercury has totally failed, and thus
prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he
reditary disease on his offspring
Dr. Itelfe’s Botanical Drops are successfully used m
cases of violent eruptions after- the measles—red
blotches—pimples on the face—festering eruptions on
the skin—and other diseases of the external surface;
and are one of the best Spring and Autumnal physics,
known, to free the system from humors
A physician of eminence, who had witness'd the ef
ficacy of this article, had the candor recently to ack
nowledge to the proprietor, that he considered it the
best me licine known, for the complaints for which it
is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at
the head of the whole class of such remedies.

WHITE TEETH & HEALTHY GUMS.
T iOSE who would retain or restore these desirable
personal advantages, ate assured that no compo
iition can be obtained superior t: the
BRITISH ANTISEPTIC DENTRIFICE.
This is an elegant and pleasant preparation in every
respect, and has, for many years past, given universal
satisfaction wherever it has been used. ,
-i-K® ArOitoniic Jifiitrifice is exempt from acid ana
other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently
enter the composition ot tooth powders in common
use. and it wh tens the enamel of the teeth without
doing it the least injury. The regular use of this ad
mired powder, by purifying the mouth and preventing
the accumulation of tartar, operates as the best pre
ventive of the Tooth Ache. The Dentnfice removes
discolorations, and restores the beautiful native white
ness of the enamel. As its application braces and
strengthens the Gums, it secures to them their healthy
and florid hue, and, by removing all offensive foreign
accumulations from the teeth, preserves the natural
sweetness ot the breath. Price 50 cents t

CONSUMPTION, ASTHMA & CATARRH.
IN that long train of diseases which seem to grow
with the growth of civilized society, Consumption
takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human
life* yet his dreadful disorder is eas'd) overcome »n its
earner .'ages. It ia only when n glected that it ar
rives at the terrific maturity which so often baffles the
aagacitv of professional science. An obstinate^cough
is the customary forerunner of the pulmonary con
sumption Improper neglect in the timely avlmims
tration of simple "and salutary remedies, is sure to be
reproved by a dreadful succession of consumptive
symptoms - oppression of the oreast; greeni-h and
bloovly spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; ahri
veiled extremeties, and general emaciation of the
whole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks;
swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses
sionofthe mental faculties, and while hope still whis
pers her flattering tale—cold extremities, and a pre
mature death.
For the various stages of this complaint, one ot the
most aonrov d remedies ever yet discovered is
DR RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS.
This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally sate and
innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid
cures upon patients supposed to have been far advanc

ment, they nuv be administered with confidence and
safety to all ages and classes of people. Uuexampled
success has bilnerto attended their administration in a
great variety of cases; and the proprietor can refer to
a multitude, which testify to their efficacy in reviving,
the emaciated victim trom the bed ot disease, and re
storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and j
activity.
Price $1 for who/e boxes ofoO pills, and 50 cents for j

DEBILITATED FEMALES.
THE complaints peculiar to the female part of the
community, have been long successfully treated
by the administration of the Aromatic Pills, originally j
prescribed and compounded t»y l)r Itelte 1 hey j
cleanse the blood from those disorders of the femaie
constitution, for which the pills are an effectual speci
fic; they restore a free circula ion, reform the irregular
operations of the sanguiferous system, and rectify the
disordered habits, l'be proprietor's confidence in the
superior excellence of ibis equally innocent and pow
erful preparation, is founded on the most decisive tes
timony from many restored patients. He can assure
thi* oort on of the pubi c, that when
DR. HELVE'S AROMATIC PILLS FOR
FEMALES
are regularly taken, according to the directions, ac
companying them, they revive and establish the desir
ed healthy habits, and restore to the pallid counte
nance the natural glow of health and good spirits.
Married ladies will find the pills equally useful, ex
cept in canes of paegnancy, when they must not be
taken; neither must they be taken by persons of hec
tic or consumptive habits. They may be used success
fully by either men or women in all Hypochondriac,
Hysteric or Vapourish disorders. In all cases of this
description, the pills purify, invigorate, and revive the
disordered system. Price $1 50 a box.

BEWARE OF IMPOSITION.
SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC
OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,)
Prepared by C. HERSTONS near Frederick
town, Maryland.
Kichmowd. Va- July 15, 1810.
mtihf nublic will be pleased to understand that I was
T thePori^‘liscoJerer of Judkins' Ointment, and
sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817,
until theexpiration of the same; out, hav»ng connec -
ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement, I
permitted the Ointment to bear his name The term
of the patent having expired on the 26th June, i have
made an improvement in the same, and taken ont a pa
tent thereon. N SHEPHERD.
(jjf* Imposition having been practised upon the du ■
lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of “ .
kins* Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself ot the
authority granted to him in his letters patent, now to
call the Ointment after his own name. Henceforth it
will be known by the name of
SHEPHERD'S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT
M ENT, (formerly Judkins’.)
When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and
had, in several instances, experienced its good effects,
I sent it to several physicians, with instructions in what
cases to apply it, who were of opinion that the Oint
ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded
that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many
hands, some of whom would probably undertake to
make it, and knowing the difficulty of the process—ne
vertheless, it might be progated in this adulterated si
tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the origi
nal—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera
ted Under these considerations, I secured the origi
nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases,
some of which have so long baffled the skill of me
dicnl sci6iic6 •
1st White swellings of every description*
2d Sore letjs and ulcers of long standing,
3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlythose
hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes
terminate in ulceiated cancers*
4th Felons; or what some people know by the name
of catarrhs, of every description.
5th Rheumatic pains ot the joints;
6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or in
...K.tnoci. txart uiiliat’P*
7th Tetters of allkinds. In this complaint the pa
tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part
out of water;
8th Chilblainsor partsaffectcd by frost.
It is also one of the best remedies for burns and
scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in a
short time.
For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel
lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to the
medical faculty. It is much safer than mercurial ap
plication?, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of
anv preparation of the mineral,) because it does not
lay the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold.
This Ointment has cured sores of many years stand
in<r. Where itjs impossible or imprudent to heal the
external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming
carious 01 rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries,
increase the quantity of discharge, remove the offen
sive smell, and ease the pains.
It cures the worst Felods and Whitlows, on applica
tion of forty-eight hours

in every instance. 1 consider it the most decided and
efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause
whatit may; and 1 have found nothing so good for
wounds of any description It may be proper to
add, that the cure of a tumor called white swelling,
given over b\ the most distinguished physicians as in
curable, andwhichthey decided would, withoutampu

XeNV litm&on Bilious Pills.
JUST received, a fresh supply of the above useful (

The following extract is published by Dr. Lee’s au
thority, viz:—
Extract of a letter, written by a very respectable gen
tleman, residing in Baltimore, to the subscriber, wno
deems it his duty, though unauthorized, to lay it be
fore the public, withholding the writer s name, for
particular reference, should any require it person
ally. SAM. H. P LEE.
Baltimore, August, 1828.
Doctor S. II. P. Lee, New London, Conn.
Dear Sir—It is now upwards of twenty years that I
have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami
ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al
most everv description of disease, and believe they sa
ved many' a long doctor’s bill by their early and timely
use. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary
in their operation and effects until a few months past;
and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve
ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that you
had made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac
ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this
impression, I accidentally saw an advertisement of
yours in a New Vorfe newspaper, designating spurious
imitations from your own manufacture, by having your
WHITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions,
and that in no instance were the imitations signed with
pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other
respact. Finding those I had without this test, I be
gan to suspect that “ all was not fair in medicine, as
well as in politics, and called at several of our apothe
caries for your pills, with your written signature. I
found many without this test, but none with it, until I
came to the Messrs Keerls*, who assured me they had
them direct from you. I procured a box, and on using
them, found the same effects from them I had always
experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my
self in possession of a medicine I so highly prize, that
that I cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this
information.
(£7 To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu
rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser has
only to examine the bill of directions covering each
box, and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im
mediately under my printed name, they are genuine,
and prepared by me; but if oslt the printed name is
affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

the ignorance or maltreatment ot the Doctors; or the
vicious or gormandizing propensities of us all.
This valuable Medicine, being composed only of
vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted,
on oath, as containing not one particle of mercurial,
mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un
congenial to the nature of man, and therefore destruc
tive to the human frame,) is found to he perfectly
harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un
der every stage of human suffering; the most pi *a.-,ant
and benign in it- operation, and at the same time the
most searching out the root of every complaint, how
ever deep, and of performing a cure, that was ever
offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is
produced by the least trouble to the patients, hv
merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and
being called a few extra times to the purposes of eva
cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or
exhaustion of bodily strength, and without the fear of
catching cold, orattention to dress or diet, in any wuj
different from their accustomtd habits.
These pills cure all cases, and cannot be taken to
excess Experience, which is the touchstone of all
human knowledge, has long borne testimony to the
fact; and extensive use of them has already verified
its truth in this country.
These medicines cure by purging; and yet the weak,
the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are
in a few days strengthened by their operation, been ise
they clear the body of its bad humours, and invariably
procure sound sleep. They are the safest and most
efficacious menicine to take to sea; preventing scurvy,
costiveness, &c.
The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as
sistance to patients, and facilitate the evacuation o!
bad humours; they soften, cleanse, and detach the
acrimonious phlegm; are cooling, and allay the thirst.

Extract of a Letter to Dr. Moat.
Sia: The motive which has induced me to writethis 1
letter to you, is, that I might be instrumental in the
recommendation of Morrison’s Universal \ egetabb
Medicines to the afflicted, which, by the Divine bless
ing, has cured me of the Scarlet Fever. My case wai |
as follows: Whilst returning from Washington to Alex
andria, I was taken very ill, which obliged me, on mv
arrival, to retire suddenly to bed, but could not sleep,
and *he next day my throat became so much inflamed,
that I could scarcely swallow; and my face, breast, and
body, presented evident symptoms of the great dan
ger 1 was in, and 1 knew not what to do; Calomel or
Mercury 1 abhorred as poison, and therefore dealrt__
no assistance from the Druggist; but my mother, who
had experienced th< good effect of the Hygcian Pill*
in a case or two of her own, most strenuously advised
me to try their virtue, which, with reluctance, 1 con
sented to, and commenced by taking eight No. 1 pills
at night, and eight No. 2 the next morning, and con
tinued taking, increasing daily, morning and evening,
until 1 took sixteen No. 2 at a time, w hich weredis
solved in water, as, by means of my sore throat, 1 could
not otherwise swallow them. I confess the dose ms.!e
me feel somewhat qualmish, 8tc.; but the pills ana the
powders, of which l took one or two tea-spoonsfull *
day, operated well, and the final result was, that I irb
into a sound sleep, of which 1 had been deprived, and
the next morning awoke in a state of perspiration, frtec
from fever, cool and comfortable, and my reason ftor
1 had been deranged in mind) returned; and on the
9th day from the time ! was first taken, I left my room,
and have ever since enjoyed better health than 1 da
before. You have my leave to make what use yoc
please of this. 1 w’ish you success, and am, sir, you:
obedient friend, MARY ANN FOWLER,
Alexa. D. C. March 14, 1833.
