C7-Botanical Drops!
are every year increasing their long established repu
tation. They 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, Foul and Ob
stinate Ulcers, Sore Legs and Eyes, Scald Head, and
Venereal Taint. . . .. „ofaTT,
In the last mentioned condition of 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. Retfe's Botanical Drops are successfully used in
cases of violent eruptions after the measles—red
blotches — pimplea 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. j
A physician of eminence, who had witness 'd the ef
ficacy 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 i
is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at
the head of the whole class of such remedies.

Consumption!
Astluua! Catarrh!
IN that long tram 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 in its
earlier stages. It is only when neglected that it ar
rives at the terrific maturity which so often 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 extremeties, and general emaciation of the
whole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks;
swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses
sionofthe 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 approved remedies ever vet discovered is
DR. RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS.
This exceeding!* powerful, t%nd yet equally sate and
innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid
cures upon patients supposed to have been far advanc
ed in a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit-1
ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter
mination of the disorder.
As the Fills require in ordinary cases no confine
ment, they may be administered with confidence and
safety 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 lrom 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, aud 50 cents for

Debilitated Females!
TUB complaints peculiar to the female part of the
community, have been long successfully treated
by the administration of the Aromatic Pills, originally
prescribed and compounded by Dr Itelfe They
cleanse the blood from those disorders of the female
constitution, for which the pills are an effectual speci
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
•rful preparation, is founded on the most decisive tes
tiraony from many restored patients. He can assure
this portion of the public, that when
HR. RELFE’S AROMATIC PILLS FOR
FEMALES
r u . vajuu
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 in 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 either men or women in all Hypochondriac,
Hysteric or Vapourish disorders. In all cases of this
(t/scrintion. the pills purify, invigorate, and revive the

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC
OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,)
Prepared by C. HERSTONS, near Frederick
town, Maryland.
Richmohd. 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, l
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.

Baltimore, August, 1828.
Doctor S. H. P. Lee, New London, Conn.
Dear 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. 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
baa 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 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 I had always
experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my
the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are
in a few days strength♦*»evl by their operation, beca ise
they clear the body of its bad humours, and invariably
procure sound sleep. They are the safest and most
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 thirst.
One, two, or three powders may be taken throughout
the day, mixed in half a wine glass of water.

MENT, (formerly Judkin>\)
When I fir.t made and prepared this Ointment, and
lad, in several inatance.. experienced its good effect.,
[ sent it to several physicians, withinstructionsin what
•ases to apply it. who were of opinion that the Oint
ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded
lhatthe Ointment would occasionally fall into many
hand., some of whom would probably undertake to
make it, and knowing the difficultyoftheproces.-nc.
vertheless, it might be progated in ,hl8*d'd,*™,ed. “ ’
tuation, as it might in some degree resemble »he 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 d,8e^®»
some of which have so long baffled the skill of me
dical science: . .
1st White swellings of every description?
2d Sore leg* and ulcers of long standing,
3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particuJarlythose
hardened tumors 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 ofthe 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 parts affected 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.
For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel
lings, 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 th#
external 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 forty-eight hours

"Fygeiawism.
THE following testimonials of the superior efficacy
of the HYGEIAN 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 Hygeian Vege
table Universal Medicines, for the State of Rhode
Island.
Sm—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. 1 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 under
stood,! state, in connexion with the relation of the
cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep
temher, 1832, 1 caught a severe cold, which settled on
my lungs; I w as confined to my room about one week,
with a fever, attended with considerable cough; n:y
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
reltpse upon relapse, 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” [«mall ul
cer] broke in the Inngs, after which I 9pat blood, one
day. 1 continued to decline two months longer, when
i ooumiru me nygeiuu aicuicnies. I nau now ueen
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, he. he. Such was my
condition, when l first became acquainted with the
Hygeian Medicines 1 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 food 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. After this, I
took about four doses a week, until l had taken abou'
thirteen hundred pills, when I found myself restored
to health. After I commenced the Hygi inn, I took
no other medicine. One year from the first attack, !
was able to resume my studi s in college, where I
have since remained without any recurrence of the
disease Hitherto I have been convalescent; and it
my strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain I
have less pains, and am more free from temporary

tion. Yours, with respect,

On H She the ard 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 was a violent pain and soreness in her
side; indeed, to use her own expression, her />s 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 piPa 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.

Injustice to l)r. M,, her medical adviser, when he
heard her improvement in health, he recommended
persevercnce 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 >ne particle of mercurial,
mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un
congenial to the nature of man, and therefore destruc
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
produced by the least trouble to the patients, by
merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and
being called h few extra times to the purposes of eva
cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or
exhaustion of bodily strength, and without the tear of
catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way
different from their accustonu d 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 has already verified
its truth in this country.
These medicines cure bv purging; and vet the weak.
DR. MEAD'S ANTI-DYSPECTIC or
MACH PILLS, ’ *T°’
THE only medicine ever yet offered to n
public, from which a radical and ner,
nent cure can be obtained of all those chrn *
states of derangement of the digestive ore^
constituting that complicated disease term^
Dyspepsia. '
The duty which the proprietor owes to n
ety, has induced him to adopt this mode 0f *
culation, in order to give it a greater ran*??^
publicity, that it may thereby become morer °
tensively useful than it could possibly be v«
it confined within the private practice of a
individual whatever. The diseases conseai?^'
on a morbid state of the stomach and bow?
are numerous, complicated, and, for the n
part, very difficult of cure. / ; )
The proprietor of these Pills is happy [n u
ingit in his power to offer to all those wh<i
afflicted with the above complaint, a medi^'
in which the most unlimited confidence ma-h
placed, and, for simplicity of composition ml
be given to children and patients of the m
delicate habit. In every chronic case ofstomV?
complaint, where the disease does not den??!
on a schirrus, or cancerous state of tha* or? "
(in which case no medicine whatever cm d'
any good,) these pills will effect a certain an?
speedy cure, after the stomach of the patienth
been cloyed with magnesia and chalk
drenched with all the bitter potions that a t
could invent, to no purpose. They win in
effectually remove all sourness of the stomac*?
not merely by neutralizing the acid, but by cor
recting that morbid state of the secretions whi *
gives rise to it; and at the same time that the?
are giving tone to the organs of digestion the-'
will renovate and give new life and vigor to tv
whole system. Geo. Smith, Proprietor

IMPROVED COMPOUND CHLOrTvT

THE discovery of the Chloride of Soda anc
its uses, by Labarraque, of Paris, was a
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 g*.
thers strength, and finally destroys, is the im
portant service which can be derived from the
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

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 no1
contain a particle of the Chloride of Soda, ou
the agency of which their efficacy must nece<

This article is confidently offered to the ex
animation 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 from
whatever cause. In short, this preparation will
be found to justify the various commendatory
notices and recommendations it has received.
