Consumption!
Asthma! Catarrh!
IN that long train of diseases which seem to grow
with the growth of civilised society, Consumption
take* the lead in its retentless inroad* upon human
life; yet this dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its
- earlier stages. It is only when neglected that it ar
rives at the terrific maturity which so bften baffles 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
reproved by a dreadful succession of consumptive
symptoms—oppression of the breast; greenish and
bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri
veiled extremities, and general emaciation of the
whole bodyi. prostration of strength; flushed cheeks;
swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses
aionof the mental faculties, and while hope still whis
pers her flattering tale—cold extremities, and a pre
mature death. ]
For the various stage* of this complaint, one ot tne
most acprovtd remedies ever vet discovered is
DR RGLFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS.
This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and
innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid
cures upon patients supposed to have been far advanc
ed:n a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit
ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter
mination of «he disorder. t
As the Pills require in ordinary cases no confine
inent, they may be administered with confidence and
aafety to all ages and classes of people. Unexampled
success has hitherto 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 from the bed of disease, nnd re
storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and
activity.

fic* they restore a free circula ion, reform the irregular
operations of the sanguiferous system, and rectify the
disordered habits. The proprietor's confidence in the
superior excellence of this equally innocent and pow
erful preparation, is founded on the most decisive tes
timony from many restored patients. He can assure
this nortion of the public, that when
DIL RELFES AROMATIC PILLS FOR
FEMALES
are regularly taken, according to the directions, ac
company ing them, they revive and establish the desir
ed healthy habits, and restore to the pallid counte
nauce the naturabglow of health and good spirits.
* Harried ladies will find the pills equally useful, ex
cept in case# 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 SO a box.

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, I have ;
made an improvement in the same, and taken out a pa- :
tent thereon. N. SHEPHERD.

wOTe of which have ao” long baffled the .kill of me
dical science: . ;
1st White swellings of every description;
2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing, •
3d Schirrus of glandular tumors, particularly those
hardened tumors in woman's breasts, which oftentimes
terminate in ulceiated cancers;
4th Felons; or what some people know by the name
•f 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 this complaint the pa
tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part
out of water;
8th Chilblains or partsaffected 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. , , . .
j For inflamed women's breasts and glandular swel
lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to the
i 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
external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming
carious oi rotten. it will stop the progress of the caries,
j increi.se the quantity of discharge, remove the offen

in every instance. I consider it the most decided and
efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause
wbatit may? and I 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 bythe most distinguished physicians as in

Baltimore, August, 1828.
Doctor S. H. P. Lee, New London, Conn.
DfAR 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 every description of disease, and believe they sa
ved many a long doctor’s bill by their early and timely
use. 1 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 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 l 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 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 go 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. ■ . ' ,
rr*r To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spa*
rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser has
only to examine the bill of directions covering each
box, and if sighed at foot, in my own handwriting, im- j
mediately under my printed name, they are genuine,
and prepared by me; but if oxlt the printed name is
affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

HYG-EIANISM.
THE following testimonials of the superior efficacy
of the HYGEIAN MKDICfNES in the cure of
our diseases, speak in a tangdage which must carry
conviction to the minds of the most skeptical:—
Brown Univibsitt, Dec. 25, 1833.
To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the H>geian Vege
table Universal Medicines, for the State of Rhode
Island.
Sir—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com
pels me, in compliance with your request, to give a
brief statement of a cure, which, I think, I received
from the Hygeian Medicines. I give publicity to the
same the more cheerfully; because thereby, perhaps,
I may be useful to some of my fellow-men, who may
be afflicted with a similar disease.
My complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption,
and that my real condition may be explicitly under
stood, I state, in connexion with the relation of the
1 cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep
tember, 1832,! caught a severe cold, which settled on
my lungs; 1 was confined to my room about one week,
with a fever, attended with considerable cough; my
cough soon abated, and apparently, 1 was regaining
my health; when, after about three weeks, in the
course of the night, having returned the evening be
fore in usual health, 1 found myself bleed'ng 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
petite, and withal, very weak
A few weeks determined that I was in a decline 1
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. But
reLpse upon relapse, and each bringing mu 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 lungs, after which 1 spat blood, one
day. 1 continued to decline twomonths longer, when
I I obtained the Hygeian Medicines. I had now been
! unable to sit up a whole dav. for four months and a
I half. My feet were cold and lifeless, sleep unsound,
cold night sweats constant, tongue furred, pulse in the
I 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. Ike. Such was my
condition, when I first became acquainted with the
: llygeian 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
clays, my appetite became good, and fo id produced
no distress, sleep soon became sound and refreshing,
and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease
had nearly all disappeared.
1 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. After this, I
took about four doses a week, until I had taken about
thirteen hundred pill*', when 1 found myself restored
to health. After I commenced the llygeian, I took
no other medicine. One year from the first attack, I
j 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
my strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain 1
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;
Dr H. Suepueabd Moat.
Dear Sir—I wish to state that my sister, after severe
i suffering, and employing a medical man three years,
was relieved by the use of the Universal Medicines.
Her complaint was a violent pain and soreness in her
side; indeed, to use her own expression, her ribs on
one side had turned in, actually deformed. The pain
was a violent burning pain, almost intolerable; so see
vere, that she could not sit up for upwards of three
years. It was occasioned by over-lacing hers If, and
perhaps, over exertion with it. After using a few,
doses of No, 1 and 2, alternately, about eight pills for
a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in
their use, she is now restored to health; and 1 have
no objection to this case being made public for the
benefit of others; and am, dear sir, yours truly,
H DYER.
Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb. 8, 1834
Injustice to Dr. M,. her medical adviser, when he
heard tier improvement in health, he recommended
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 me particle of mercurial,
mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un
congenial to the nature of man, and therefore desttuc
tive to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly
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,
I produced by the least trouble to the patients, by
I merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and
being C3rA!*d « few extra times to the purposes of eva
cuation, with the leafciy^uisible sensation of pain, or
exhaustion of bodily strength, ana V.ufhout the fear of
catching old, orattentionjo dress or diet, any way
’different from their accustomed 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 lias 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
