c? Botanical Drops!
are every year increasing their long established repu
tation. Thev have outlived many rival preparations,
end 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 tinder the various and distressing shapes of
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosv, St Anthony's Fire,
Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Foul and Ob* |
stin&te Ulcers, Sore Legs and Eyes, Scald Head, and j
Yenereal Taint. |
In the last mentioned condition of the system, the
Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk- ^
ing poison, where mercury ha9 totally failed, and thus
prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he
reditary disease on his offspring.
Dr. Relfe's Botanical Drops are successfully used in
cases of violent eruptions after the meades —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 ol this article, h id the candor recently to ack
nowledge to the proprietor, that he considered it the
best medicine known, for the complaints for which it
is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at
the head ot the whole class of such remedies.

WHITE TEETH! AND HEALTHY OHMS!
T IOSE who would retain or restore these desirable
personal advantages, are assured that no compo
sition can be obtained superior tc 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 h*3 been used.
The Antiseptic Dentrifice is exempt from acid and
“4l“” ingredients, which too frequently
enter ltie' compoiition of tooth powders m common
use, and it wh tens the enamel o! the teeth *l*b'jut
doing it the least injury. The regular use of tins ad
mired powder, by purifying the mouth and preventing
the accumulation of tartar, operates as the best pn
ventive of the Tooth Ache. The Dentr.fice removes
discolorations, and restores the beautiful native white
ness of the enamel. As its application braces and
auengtlteiu 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. Price 50 cents

Consumption!
Asthma! „V 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 easil) overcome in its
earlier stages. It ia only when neglected that it ar
rive3 at the terrific maturity which so often battles the
sagacity of professional science. 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
-enroved by a dreadful succession of consumptive
symptoms — oppression of the breasti greem.h anil
bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shn
veiled extretneties, and general emaciation of 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 wh:s
pers her flattering tale—cold cxtiemities, and a pre
mature death.
For the various stages of this complaint, one ot the
___vet 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 beeu Ur advanc
ed in a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit*
appearances which usually indicate u fatal ter
mination of’he disorder.
As the Tills require in ordinary cases no confine
msnt they may be administered with confidence and
safety to all ages and classes of people. Unexampled
success has hitherto attended their administration in a
srreat variety of cases; and the proprietor can refer to
a multitude, which testify" to their efficacy in reviving
the emaciated victim trora the bed of disease, and re
storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and
activity.
Price #1 for who/e boxes of 30 pills, and 50 cents for
half do. of 12 pills, with directions.
Debilitated Females! ,
rpHfc complaints peculiar to the female part of the
J. community, have been long successfully treated
by the administration of the Aromatic Pills, originally
prescribed and compounded by Dr lielfe. They
cleanse the blood from those disorders of tne female
constitution, for which the pills are an effectual speci
fie* they restore a free circula iou, reform the irregular
operations of the aangu ferous system, and rectify the
disordered habits. The proprietor** confidence in the
superior excellence of this equally imiocent and pow
tirfiif preparation, is founded on the most decisive tes
timony from many restored patients. He can assure
this Dortion of the public, that when
brJrelfe’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 iu cases 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 eithei men or women in all Hypochondriac,
'"W Hysteric or Vapourish disorders In all cases of this
description, the pills purify, invigorate, and revive the
disordered system. Trice $1 50 a box. .

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC
OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,)
Prepared by C. HER S TUNS, near Frederick
town, Maryland.
Richmond. Va- July 15, 18>0
THE public will be pleased to understand that I was
the original discoverer of Judkins* Ointment, and
sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817,
until the expiration of the same; but, having connect
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, 1 have
made an improvement in the same, and taken out a pa
tent thereon. # N. SHEPHERD.
(TT Imposition having been practised upon the nub
lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of “Jud
kins* Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of the
authority granted to him in hi, letters patent, now to
call the Ointment after hi. 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 inatancea. experienced its irood effects,
I sent it to several physicians. witVirntruetions in wha
hanVs^ome o?ewhom° would^rob'ably undertakTIo
make it. and knowing the difficulty of the process-ne
vertheless, it might be progated in this adulterated. si
tnl ion 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 remedr for those obstinate disease!,
some of which have so long baffied the skill of me
dical science: . .
1st White swellings of every description;
2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing,
3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlytliose
hardened tu tors 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 of the joints;
6th Sprains and bruises of every description,^ in
whatever part situate; .
7th Tetters of all kinds, fn this complaint ihe pa
tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part
out of water;
8th Chilblains or parts affected bv frost,
jt 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 suoerior to any medicine yet known to the
m-dical facility. 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
exte»'a! sore, in consequence of the bones becoming
carious oi rotten, it will stop the progress of the canes,
increise the quantity of discharge, remove the offen

Doctor S. H. P. Lee, New London, Conn.
Dear Sir—It is now upwards of twenty years that I
have used your New London Bdious Pills in my fami
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, I began to conclude that you
had made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac
ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this
impression, 1 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, I be
gan to suspect that 44 all was not fair in medicine, as
well as i» politics, and called at several of our apothe
caries for your pills, with your written sfgnature. I
found many without this test, but none with it, until 1
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 1 had always
experienced, and am so muefi rejoiced on finding my i
selfifl possession of a medicine I so highly prize, that
that I cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this
information. ,
(tj* 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, ira-1
m-diately under my printed name, they are genuine,
and prepared by me; but if owlt the printed name is
affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

HYGEIANISM. |
11HE following testimonials of the superior efficacy
of the HYGBIAN MEPICINBS in the cure of
; our diseases, speak in a language w'hich must carry
j conviction to the minds of the most skeptical:—
Brown Univehsity, Upc. 25, 18.3:3.
i To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the Hjgeian Vege
I table Universal Medicines, for the Slate of Rhode
I Island.
Sik—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com
! pels me, in compliance with your request, to give a
i brief statement of a cure, which, I think, I received
j from the Hygeian Medicines. I give publicity to the
1 same the more cheerfully, because thereby, perhaps,
I may be useful to some of niy fellow-men, who may
be afflicted with a similar disease.
My complaint was catled Pulmonary Consumption,
and that my real condition may be explicitly under
i stood, I state, in connexion with the relation of the
cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep
tember, 1832,! caught a severe cold, which settled on
my lungs; I was confined to my room about one week,
! with a fever, attended with considerable cough; my
| cough soon abated, and apparently, I was regaining
my health; when, after about three weeks, in the
course of the night, having returned the evening be
; fore in usual health. I found myself bleeding at the
lungs. I had not, to my knowledge, received any hurt
or strain, to which the cause of this might be attribut
ed. I spat blood, occasionally, for four days; it left
me with some fever, pain in the breast, very little ap- j
petite, and withal, very weak
A few weeks determined that I was in a decline I
received the attention of the most skilful Physicians,
who often seemed to check the progress of the dis
ease, and inspire the hope of a speedy recovery. Put
relapse upon relap>e, and each bringing me lower
than the preceding, seemed to baffle all human skill,
and warn me of an approaching dissolution. Thus,
months after the first attack, a “ tubercle” [small ul
cer] broke in the Inngs,'after which I spat blood, one
clay. 1 continued to decline twomontns longer, wnen
; I obtained Hie Hygeian Medicines. I bad now been
unable to sit up a whole dsy, for four months and a
half. My feet were cold and lifeless, sleep unsound,
cold night sweats constant, tongue furred, pulse in the
j afternoon from seventy-five to one hundred per mi
; nute, food produced great distress, appetite very
poor, pain in the breast directly opposite the heart,
attended with some cough, &c. &c. Such was my
condition, when i first became acquainted with the
j Hygeian Medicines I commenced taking the medi
| cines, four pills at a dose, and increased the dose dai
ly, one up to the number of twelve. In about ten
days, my appetite became good, and fold produced
no distress, sleep soon became sound and refreshing,
and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease
had nearly all disappeared.
I took the medicine sixty days regularly every night,
averaging about ten pills at a dose; the greatest num
ber taken at any one time was fifteen. Af^er this, I
took about four doses a week, until I had taken about
thirteen hundred pills, when I found myself restored
to health. After I commenced the Hygeian, I took
no oilier medicine. One year from the first attack, 1
• was able to resume my studi s in college, where I
have since remained without any recurrence of the
disease Hitherto 1 have been convalescent; and if
ni) strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain I
have less pains, and am more free from temporary
sickness* than at any time since my earliest recollec
tion. Yours, with respect,
HORACE T. LOVE.

Dear Sir—I wish to state that my sister, after severe
suffering, ami employing a medical man three years,

was a violent burning pain, almost intolerable; so see

years. It was occasioned by over-lacing hers o If, and
perhaps, over exertion w ith it. After using a few,

' Injustice to Dr. M. her medical adviser, when he
heard her improvement in heafth, he iecommended
perseverence in the use of he medicines.
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 destiuc
i live to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly
i harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un*
| der every stage of human suffering; the most pi *asant
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, by
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 s'rength, and without the tear of
catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way
different from their accustomed habits.
These pills cure all cases, and cannot betaken 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, because
they clear the body of its bad humours, and invariably
