‘"diTrelfe’s botanical drops

tation Thev have outlived many rival preparations,
and are continually gaining upon public confidence.
The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin
istered for manv 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, Fool and Ob

VenerealTaint. .__ .
In the last mentioned condition of the system, the
Botanical Drops will be found to erad.c.te the lurk
in* poison, where mercury has totally failed, and thus
prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he
reditary disease on his offspring (

cases of violent eruptions after the measles—red

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

best medicine known, for the complaints for which it
is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at

CONSUMPTION. ASTHMA & CATARRH.
1\ that long tram of diseases which seem to grow
with the growth of civilized society, Consumption
taxes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human
life; yet his dreadful disorder is easd) overcome in its
earner s'ages. It is only when neglected that it ar
rives at the terrific maturity whl h so often baffles the
sagacity of professional science. An obstinate cough
is the custom irv forerunner of the pulmonary con
sumption Improper neglect in the timely adminis
tration of simple and salutary remedies, is sure to be
• reproved by a dreadful succession ot consumptive
symptoms -oppression of the breast; greenish and
bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri
veiled extremeties, and general emaciation ot the
whole body; prostration, of strength; flushed cheeks;
swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses
sionof the 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 of the ,
most aopmved remedies ever vet discovered is

SHEPHERD’S patent specific
OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,)
Prepared by C. HER STO NS near Frederick
town, Maryland.
Richmond. Va- July 15, 1810.
irgiiip nublic will be pleased to understand that I was
X thePoriginal discoverer of Judkins’ Otntment, and
sole proprietor of the patent from September. 1817,
until the expiration of the same; but, having connec •
ed myself with Dr* Judkins in the commencement, I
permitted the Ointment to bear his rmme. The term
of the patent having expired on the 26th June, I have
made an improvement in the same, *n<* *•*«“ ??* J P
tent thereon. N SHEPHER •
'£T Imposition having been practised upon the nub
lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of " Jud- I
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*
MENT, (formerly Judkins'.)
When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and
had, in several instances, experienced its good effects,
l 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 he 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 ot me
dical science: . .
1st White swellings of every description?
2d Sore legs and ulcers of iong standing,
3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularly those
hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes
terminate in ulceiated cancers;
4th Felons; or what some people know by thename
of catarrhs, of every description.
5th Rheumatic pains of the joints;
6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or in
whatever part situate;
7th Tetters of all kinds. in tms compiaini uie pa
tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part
out of water;
8fb Ohilblainsor parts affected by frost.
It is also one of the be9t 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
m« dical faculty It is much safer than mercurial ap
plication®, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of
any 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
ing. Where it is 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 Whitlow3, on applica
tion of forty-eight hours

Sir—My son having been afflicted for five years
with white swelling, and having applied every reme
dy recommended by the most eminent physicians
within my reach without success, I at length procured
one jug of Dr Judkins* Patent Specific Ointment, and
made the application according to the directions ac
companying the ointment, and state, for the benefit
of the affl-cted. that before one jug was used, a perfect
cure was effected My son has enjoyed good health
ever since. I have no doubt that to the Ointment alone
he is indebted; for nothing else was used for more
than nine months before the application of the Oint
ment. Bespectfully, Johx Uocicr.

Mr. C Herstons—I deem it proper to state, for the
benefit of the public, that, several years since, two ot
my children were affected with scald hea l of an inve
terate character. My family physician, Dr John T
Wilson, of Leesburg, Va who was very skilful and ju
dicious in his practice, in vain endeavored by every
means to effect a cure. At length Judkins* Ointment
was applied, and the affection was permanently reliev
ed. Very respectfully, v our obedient servant,

From the Honorable John Taliaferro, Member of Con
gress dated

Sir—It has been my wish, fora considerable time,
to communicate to you the good effect with which 1
have used the Ointment invented by a Mr. Judkins,
and which I now understand is made and sold by
agents appointed bv yourself, I have applied this
Ointment during the last three years to every species
of tumor and wound, without failure to produce a cure
in every instance. I consider it the most decided and
efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause
whatit may; and l 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,
nven over bv the most distinguished physicians as in
curable, and whichlhey decided would, witnouiampu
lation, prove fatalto the patient, was, under my imme
diate notice, effected by the use of Judkins* Ointment,
and the patient is in fine health His limb affected by
the tumor oeing restored to a perfect state of sound
ness. • Iso that the leg of an aged man which had been
wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated sur
face from the kn*.e to the foot, and which, for more
than tw<» years, had been considered incurable, was ef
fectually cured ny the application of Judkins* Oint
ment. I mention these two cases, whichfellunder my
immediate nolice and management, as a decided evi
dence of the efficacy ofthis remedy incases of tumor
and ofuicers; I naveexpe ienced, as decidedly, the
good effect ofthis remedy in the cure of Felons, and
of every species of fresh wound. It seems to me that
any one who wll observe ontne operation of thi3 Oint

Doctor S. H. P. Lee, New London, Conn.
Dear Sib—It is now upwards of twenty years t iat I
have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami-1
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; j
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 j
ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this ,
impression, I accidentally saw an advertisement ofj
yours in a New York newspaper, designating spurious |
imitations from your own manufacture, by Having your
| WRITTEN 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 1 had without this test, I be
gan to suspect that 44 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 vnu. 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 1 cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this
information. #
Xj* To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu
rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser ha9
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 owly the printed name is
affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

Health ftecuteA,
BY the use of the Hvgeian Vegetable Universal
Medicines of the British College of Health, [4, r
don, which have obtained the approbation and recom v
mendation of thousands who have been cured, in CCn’
sumptions, cholera morbus, inflammations, intemaHv if
or externally; dyspepsia, fevers, ague, indigestion, j,f.
lious or nervous affections, and all diseases of the li;er *
yellow fever, gout, rheumatism,lumbago, tic doloreur’
dropsy, St. Vitus’s dance, epilepsy, apoplexy, piraj ’
sis, palsy, green sickness, and all obstructions to whi-h
the female form is so distressingly liable, and which
sends so many of this fairest portion of the creation
their untimely graves; small pox, measles, whoopij
cough, scarlet fever, asthma, jaundice, gravel, 8ton'J*
and all urinary obstructions; fistula, piles, stricture/
ruptures, and syphilis in all its stages; constipated fcow’
els, worms, scurvy, itchings of the skin, king’s evil
and all cutaneous disorders; in short, every comply'
to which the human frame is so diretally subject, un.
der all their varied forms and names; as the Hygei»„
conviction is, that man is sub ject to on* enli w
Disease,—that is, TO THE IMPURITY OF T/j'-'
BLOOD, —from whence springs every complaint t! v
can possibly assail his complicated frame; and that It
is the perpetual struggle of this vital, pure stream o<
life, (the gift of Almighty power) to disencumber i».
self of its viscous, acrid humours, with which it lunc.
come commixed, through the negligence of parent
the ignorance or maltreatment of the Doctors; or ti r
vicious or gormandizing propensities of us all.
This valuable Medicine, being composed only 0f
vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warrant*
on oath, as containing not one particle of mercurial'
mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are u:/
congenial to the nature of man, and therefore destruc
tive to the human frame,) is found to be perfect;;
harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un
der every stage of human suffering; the most p|>8^r.
and benign in it operation, and at the same time tL?
most searching out the root of every complaint, how.
ever deep, and of performing a cure, that ;u5 tve*
offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, i.
produced by the least trouble to the patients, by
merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, m i1
being called a few extra times to the purposes of eva
cuation, with the least possible sensation of pnin, or
exhaustion of bodily strength, and without the iur of
catching cold, or attention to dress or c’iet, in ar.y v,y
different from their accustomed habits.
These pills cure all cases, and cannot be taken t

fact; and extensive U9e 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, u
in a few days strengthened by their operation, beta $e
they clear the body of its bad humours, and invars v
procure sound sleep. They are the safest and mo*;
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 of
bad humours; they soften, cleanse, and detach the
acrimonious phlegm; are cooling, and allay the thirp

Extract of a Letter to Dr. Moat.
Sib : The motive which has induced me to wri'.ctliis
letter to you, is, that I might be instrumental in the
recommendation of Morrison's Universal .Vegetable
Medicines to the afflicted, which, by the Divine blets*
ing. has cured me of the Scarlet Fever. My case was
as follows: Whilst returning from Washington to Alex
andria, 1 was taken very ill, which obliged me, on my
arrival, to retire suddenly to bed, but could not sleep,
and the next day my throat became so much inflamed,
that 1 could scarcely swallow; and my face, breast, and
body, presented evident symptoms of the great dan
ger 1 was in, and I knew not what to do; Calomel o:
Mercury 1 abhorred a9 poison, and therefore desired
no assistance from tiie Druggist; but my mother, who
had experienced the good effect of the Hygeian Pil s
in a case or two of her own, most strenuously advised
me to try their virtue, which, with reluctance, I con
sented to, and commenced by taking eight No. 1 pil ‘
at night, and eight No. 2 the next morning, and con
tinued taking, increasing daily, morning and evening,
until l took sixteen No 2 at a time, which were dis
solved in water, as, by means of my sore throat, I could
not otherwise swallow them. 1 confess the dose mi' -
me feel somewhat qualmish, &c.; but the pills and the
powder®, of which I took one or two tea-spoonsfuii l
day, operated well, and the final result was, that I fel.
into b sound sleep, cf which I had been deprived, ®.‘r
the next morning awoke in a state of perspiration,treeu
from fever, cool and comfortable, and rny reason (tor
1 had been dernuged in mind) returned; and on t..e
9th day from the time ! was first taken, I left my room,
and have ever since enjoyed better health than I die
before. You have my leave to make w hat use you
please of this. 1 wish you success, and am, sir, K :
obedient friend, MARY ANN FOWLER.
