ere ererv year increasing tbeir long established repu
tttion. They ba»e outlired many rival preparations,
•nd are continually gaining upon public confidence.
The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin
tstered for many yeara, 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, Foul and Ob
stinate. Ulcers, Sore Legs and Byes, Scald Head, an
Tenereal Taint. , . _ ..
In the last mentioned condition of the system, the
Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lik
ing poison, where mercury has totally failed, and thus
prevent tke patient from entailing the seeds of an he
reditary disease on his offspring.
Dr Relfe’a Botanical Drops are successfully used in
cases of violent eruptions after the measles-red
blotches—pimples on the face—festering eruptions on
♦he skin—and other diseases of the external surface;
and are one of the best Spring and Autumnal physics j
known, to free the system from humors |
A physician of eminence, who had witnessed the eh
ficacv of this article, had 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

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 his dreadful disorder is easily overcome m its
earlier »t»ge». It i» only when neglected that.tar
rives at the terrific maturity which so often battles the
sagacitv 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 reraeuies, is sure to be
re Droved by a dreadful succession of consumptive
svmptoras -oppression of the breast; greenish and
bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shn
veiled extremaies, 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 wins
pers her flattering tale—fold extremities, and a pre
mature death.
For the various stages of this complaint, one of the
moat ftDDroved remedies ever vet discovered is

innocent preparauau, —c>“—-• r

As the Pills require m ordinary cases no conhne

success ha* hitherto attended their administration in a

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC
OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,)
Prepared by C. HERSTONS* near Frederick
town* Maryland.
Richmond. Va. July 15, 1830.
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 26ih June, I have
made an improvement in the same, and taken oat a pa- j
tent thereon SHEPHERD.
cry Imposition having been practised upon the nub
lie bv a spurious article, bearing the name of “ Jud
kins’ Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of the
authority (panted to him in !ii» letten p»tent, now to i
•all the Ointment after hia own name. Henceforth it
vill be known by the name of
SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT- |
MENT, (formerly Judktnt'.) ,
When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and
bad in several instances experienced its good effects, ,
[ sent it to several physicians, with instructions in what ,
V who were of opinion that the Oint
meTt woiSS be a v"Public Pbenefit. I concluded
that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many
hands; some of whom would probably undertake to
makeit, and knowing the difficulty of the process ne
vertheless it might be progated in this adulterated si
tuition^ M ft might in .omedegree resemble the ong,
nal—and in this way its good effects would be obhtera
ted- Under these considerations, I *
nal and certain remedy for those obstinate dueas ,
some of which have so long baffled 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, particularly those
hardened tumors in woman’s breasts, which oftentimes
terminate in ulceiated cancers;
4th Felons; or what some people know by tne 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 J
out of water;
8th Chilblains or parts affected by frost. ;
It is also one of the be9t remedies for burns and j
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 tiie
medical 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 tbe patient liable to injury from exposure to cold.
This Oiniment has cured sores ol many years stand
ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal th»
external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming
carious oi rotten, it will stop the progress of the canes,
increase the quantity of discharge, remove the offen
sive smell, and ease the pains.
It cures the worst Felods and Whitlows, on applica

and winch 1 now understand is made and sold by :
agents appointed by yourself, 1 have applied this

of tumor and wound, without failure to produce a cure
in everv instance. 1 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,
given over by the most distinguished physicians as in
curable, and which th ^decided would, withoutampu
tation, prove fatalto the patient, was, under my imme- ,
diale notice, effected by the use of Judkins* Ointment,
and the patient is in fine health His limb affected by (

wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated sur
face from the knee to the foot, and which, for more
than two years, had been considered incurable, was ef
fectually cured by the application of Judltins’ Oint

immediate notice and management, as a decided evi

and ofulcers: I have expe ienced, as decidedly, ihe
good effect of this remedy in the cure of Felons, and

Dear Sib—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«
fed 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 York newspaper, designating spurious
imitations from your own manufacture, by having your
WKL TflfcN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions,
and thatin no instance were the imitations signed with
pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other
respdet. Finding those l had without this test, I be
gan to suspect that 4 4 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. 1 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
idfin possession of a medicine I so highly prize, that
hat I cannot, injustice, refrain frrnn giving you this
nformation. r .
(rT To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu
■ious imitations, as related above, the purchaser has
3nly to examine the bill of directions covering each
3ox and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im
Ti-diately binder my printed name, they are genuine,
ind prepared by roe? but if only the printed name is
iffixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

H YGEIANI3M.
THE following testimonials of the superior efficacy
of the HYGBIAN MEDICINES in the cure of
our diseases, speak in a language which must carry
conviction to the minds of the most skeptical:
Brown University, Dec. 25, 1833.
To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the H vgeian Vege
table Universal Medicines, for the Slate of Iihode
Island.
Sih—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com
pels me, in compliance with your request, to give a
brief statement of u cure, which, I think, I received
from the Hygeian Medicines. I give publicity to the
same the more cheerfully, because thereby, perhaps,
1 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 un ler
stood, 1 state, in connexion with the relation of the
cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep
tember, 1832, 1 caught a severe cold, which settled on
my Iung9; 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
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. But
reLnse uoon relame, 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 lungs, after which I spat blood, one
day. 1 continued to decline twomonths longer, when
I obtained the Hygeian Medicines I had now been
unable to sit up a whole day, for four months and a
half. My feet were cold and lifeless, sleep unsound,
cold night sweats constant, tongue furred, pulse in the
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. Ikc. Such was my
condition, when I first became acquainted with the
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
klays, my appetite became good, and food produced
no distress, sleep soon became sound and refreshing,
and in about furtv 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. After 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 Hyg-ian, 1 took
no other medicine. One year from the first attack, l
was able to resume my studios 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 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.
On H Siiei’Hsabd Moat.
Dear Sir—1 wish to state that my sister, after severe
suffering, and employing a medical man three years,
was relieved by the use of the Universal Medicines
Her complaint wras 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; 90 see
vere, that she could not sit up for upwards of three
years. It was occasioned by over.lacing hers o If, and
perhaps, oyer 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 I have
no objection to this case beiRg made public for the
benefit of others; and am, dear sir, yours truly,
n. u i r»n.
Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb 8, 1834
In justice to Ur. M„ her medical adviser, when he
heard her 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 destruc
live to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly
harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un
der every 9tage of human suffering; the most pl -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 strength, and without the fear of
catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way
different from their accustorm d habits.
These pills cure all cases, and cannot be taken tc
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;andyet the weak,
the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are
in a few days strengthened by their operation, beca ise
they clear the body of its bad humours, and mvariabl)
procure sound sleep. They are the saf est and mosl
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 ol

COLORED APPRENTICES WANTED,

MACH PILLS, ’ 8T* J
THE only medicine ever yet offered to o
public, from which a radical and ner *
nent cure can be obtained of all those chro?
states of derangement of the digestive orua
constituting that complicated disease, terrn^^
Dyspepsia. ’ ed
The duty which the proprietor owes to sor
ety, has induced him to adopt this mode of C‘
culation, in order to give it a greater rantre ‘Ip
publicity, that it may thereby become more e
tensively useful than it could possibly be v *
it confined within the private practice of *erc
individual whatever. The diseases consequ<M
I on a morbid stale of the stomach and bow?
are numerous, complicated, and, for thp ,3
part, very difficult of cure. ra0st
The proprietor of these Pills is happy jft »,a.
ing it in his power to offer to all those who
afflicted with the above complaint, a medicin
in which the most unlimited confidence maV ’
placed, and, for simplicity of composition L!
be given to children and patients of the r i( ’•
delicate habit. In every chronic case ofstomac''
complaint, where the disease does not depend
on a schirrus, or cancerous state of that or3
(in which case no medicine whatever can d»?
any good,) these pills will effect a certain a-d
speedy cure, after the stomach of the patient in?
been cloyed with magnesia and chalk. Vnd
drenched with all the bitter potions that a*
could invent, to no purpose. They will
effectually remove all sourness of the stomac!
not merely by neutralizing the acid, but by cor*
recting that morbid state of the secretions vhjC!
gives rise to it; and at the same time that they
are giving tone to the organs of digestion, they
will renovate and give new life and vigor to th
whole system. Geo. Smith, Proprietor.

IMPROVED COMPOUND CHLORINE
TOOTH WASH
THE discovery of the Chloride of Soda and
its uses, by Labarraque, of Paris, was an
addition to the resources of medicine of the ut
most importance as a neutralizing agent.
To counteract at once the principle of decay
which commencing imperceptibly, slowly ga
thers strength, and finally destroys, is the im

use of the Chloride of Soda, when administered
with skill and care. The diseases of the Teeth
being, in the great majority of cases, the result
of neglect and a gradual accumulation of the
principle above alluded to, it became obvious,
from the earliest experiments, that the Chloride
was the proper remedy and preferable to pow
ders, dentrifices, &c., of whatever kind or pre
tension. By a chemical analysis, it will be
found that the greater proportion of the Chlo
rine Compounds so extensively in use, do not
contain a particle of the Chloride ot Soda, on
the agency of which their efficacy must neces
sarily depend.
This article is confidently offered to the ex
amination of the public, as possessing in an em
inent degree the virtue of neutralizing all that
is offensive in the mouth and breath, removing
soreness and sponginess of the gums,destroying
the taint of tobacco, or any other effluvia frotn
whatever cause. In short, this preparation will
be found to justify the various commendatory
notices and recommendations it has received.
