a? Botanical Drops!
are every year increasing iheir long estaolished repu
tation They have outlived many rival preparations,
and are continually gaining upon public confidence.
The Botanical Drops have been 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 ot
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St Anthony s Fire,
Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Foal and Ob
stinate Ulcers, Sore Legs and Eyes, Scald Head, and
Venereal Taint. . , , .
In the last mentioned conditioner the system, the
Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk
ing poison, where mercury has totally failed, and thus
prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he
reditary disease on his offspring
Dr. Kelfe’s Botanical Drops are successfully used in
esses of violent eruptions after the measles—red
blotches — pimples on the face—festering eruptions on
the skin—and other diseases of the externa! 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, hid 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.

BRITISH ANTISEPTIC DENTRIFICE.
JVis *19 an elegant and pleasant preparation in every
respect, and has, for many sears past, given universal
satisfaction wherever it has been used.
The Antiseptic Dentrifice is exempt from acid and
other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently
enter the composition ot tooth powiiers in common
use, and it whdens 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
(he accumulation ot tartar, operates as l»)« |/IV
veniive of the Tooth \che The Dentrifice 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 of the breath. Pric<- 50 cents

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 this dreadful disorder is easily overcome ir. its
earlier stages. It is only when neglected that it ar
rives at the terrific maturity which so often baffles the
sagacity of professional scieuce. An obstinate cough
is the customary 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 of consumptive
symptoms - oppression of the breast; greenish and
' bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri
y veiled extremities, and general emaciation of the
whole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks,
swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses
tionof the mental faculties, and while hope still whis
pers her flattering talc—cold extremities, and a pre-1
mature death.
For the various stages of this complaint, one of the
most approved remedies ever yet discovered is
DR. RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS.
This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and
innocent preparation, has etfected thorough and rapid
cures upon patients supposed to have been far advanc
ed in a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit- I
ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter
mination of *he disorder.
As the Fills require in ordinary cases no confine
ment, they may be administered with confidence and
safety to all ages an.l classes of people. Unexampled

operations of the sangu ferous system, and rectify the

PATENT RIGHT SECURED.
BEWARE OF IMPOSITION.;
SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC
OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,)
Prepared by C. HERSTONS. near Frederick- ■
towns Maryland.
Richmond. Va July 15, 1830.
THE public will be pleased to understand that I wa9 j
the original discoverer of Judkins' Ointment, and 1
sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817,
until the expiration of the same; hut, having connect- !
ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement, I
permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term
of the patent hiving expired on the 26th June, I have j
made an improvement in the same, and talc* n out a pa
tent thereon N SHEPHERD.
Imposition having been practised upon the nub
ile by a spurious article, bearing the name of “Jud
kins’ Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of the
authority granted to him in Ins letter, patent, now to
call the Ointment after his owu 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 effect.,
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 * *
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 skin or me
dical science: . .
1st White swellings of every description;
2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing,
3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularly those j
hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes j
terminate in ulcetated cancers;
4th Felons; or what some people know by the name |
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. Tn this complaint the pa
tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part
out of water;
8th Chilblains or parts affected by frost.
It is also one of the best remedies for burns and
scalds. It easesIhe pain and draws the fire out in a
short time.
For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel
lin -9, it is superior to any medicine yet known to the
medical faculty. It is much safer than mercurial ap
plications, (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
exten al sore, in consequence of the bones becoming
carious oi 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 fortv-eiirht hours

of the afflicted, that before one jug was used, a perfect
cure was effected. My son has enjoyed good health
ever since. 1 have no doubt tint to the Ointment alone

Doctor S. H. P. Lee, New London, Conn.
Dear Sir—It is now upwards of twenty years that 1
have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fatni
ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al
most every 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, 1 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 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 I had without this test, 1 be
gan to suspect that “ all was not fair in medicine, us
well asiR politics, and called at several of our apothe
caries for your pills, with your written signature. 1
found miny without this test, but none with it, until I
came to the Messrs Keerls', who assured me they had
them direct from you. 1 procured a box, and on using
them, found the same effects from them l had always
experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my
self in possession of a medicine f so highly prize, that i
that I cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this
information. . _ 4 r. - ,
(T? 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

and prepared by me; bul if onlt the printed name is
