are every year incre»*mg their long established repu
tation. Thev 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 snd distressing shapes of
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St. Anthony7* Fire,
Fever Sore*, White Swellings, Scurvy, Fool and Ob_
stinate Ulcer*. Sore Legs and Bye*, Scald He»d, and
Venereal Taint. . , . .«
In the last mentioned condition of the system, the
Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk
ing poison, where mercury has totally tailed, 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 measles—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 sy stem from humors

ficacy of this article, had the candor recently to sek
nowledge to the proprietor, that he considered it the

Consumption!
Astlimn! 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
r.fe. Yet this dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its
earlier stages. It is only when neglected »!)tt it ar
rives at the terrific maturity which so often bafries 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
sy mptoms -oppression of the breast, greenish and
bloody spittle, ulcerated lungs and hectic fever, sbri
veiled extremities, and general emaciation of the
whole body, prostration of strength, flus ied cheeks,
swollen feet and legs, and at last, in ihe tail posses
Sion of the mental faculties, and while hope still whis
pers her (Uttering tale—cold extremities, and a^re
mature death.
For the various stage! of this complaint, one ot the
most approved remedies ever yet discovered is
DR RKLFL’S ASTHMATIC PILLS.
This exceedingly powerful, and 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, aud who have exhibit
ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter
mination of'he disorder.
As the Pills require in ordinary cases no conhne
raent, 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 from the bed of disease, and re
storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and

Debilitated Females!
THE compla.uts peculiar to the female part of the
community, have been long successfully t.eated
by the administration of the Aromatic Pills, originally

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 sangu ferous system, and rectity the
di'O-dered habits. The proprietor's confidence in the
superior excellence of this equally innocent and pow
erful preparation, is founded on the most decisive tes

PATENT RIGHT SECURED. \
BEWARE OF IMPOSITION, i
SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC '
OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) j
Prepared by C. HERSTONS, near Frederick- i
town, Maryland. )
Richmond. Va July 15, 1830. *
THE public will be pleased to understand that I wa9
the original discoverer of Judkins* Ointment, and *
sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817, I
until the expiration of the same; but, having connect- 1
ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement, I f
permitted the Ointment to bear his name. I he term 1
of the patent having expired on the 26th June, I have c
made an improvement in the same, and taken out a pa- |
tent thereon N. SHEPHERD. j j
XT Imposition having been practised upon the nub -»1
lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of “ Jud- j *
kins’ Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of the e
uthoritv granted to him in hi, letter, patent, now to
all the Ointment after hi. own name. Henceforth n
rill be known by the name of
IHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT
MENT, (formerly Judkins’.)
When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and
lad, in several instances, experienced !!. Rood effect.,
it to several physicians, with .n.trachons .n what
ases to apply it, who were of opinion that the Omt- |
would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded
hat the Ointment would occasionally fall into many
lands, some of whom would probably undertake to
Iiake it, and knowing the difficulty of the process-ne
rertheless. it might be progated m this ^le !he oH5’
uation, as it might in some degree resemble the ongi
lal—and in this way its good effects would beojlitm
ed. Under these considerations, I secured the orig
ia1 and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases,
tome of which have so long baffled the «kil< ofme
iical science: . .
1st White swellings of every description;
2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing,
3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularly those
lardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes
terminate in ulcetated cancers;
4th Felons; or what some people know by the name
iff catarrhs, of every description.
5th Rheumatic pains ofthe joints;
6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or m
whatever part situate;
7th Tetters of all kinds. In this complaint the pa
tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part
outof water;
8th Chilblains or partsaffected by frost.
It is also one of the best remedies for burns and
Bcalds. 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 Oiniment has cured sores of many years stand
;nrr. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the
exten al sore, in consequence of the bones becoming
carious o\ rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries,
incres.se 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

and which 1 now understand is made and sold by
agents appointed by yourself, 1 have applied this
Ointment during the last three years to every species
of tumor and wound, without failure to produce a cure
in every instance. 1 consider it the most decided and

whatit may* and 1 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 y decided would, without ampu

Doctor S. H. P. L.ex, New London, Conn.
Dear Sir—It is now upwards of twenty years that I
lave used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami
ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al
Host every description of disease, and believe they sa«
red many a long doctor’s bill by their early and timely
ise. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary
n their operation and effects until a few months past*
md having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve
■y instance of using them, I began to conclude that you
lad made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac
ure to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this
mpression, 1 accidentally saw an advertisement of
,ours in a New Yorlc newspaper, designating spurious
mitations from your own manufacture, by having your
WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions,
nd that in no instance were the imitations signed with
>en and ink, although a perfect copy in every other
espact. Finding those l had without this test, 1 be
•an to suspect that “ all was not fair in medicine, as
veil as in politics, and called at several of our apothe
aries for your pills, with your written signature. 1
aund many without this test, but none with it, until 1
ame to the Messrs Keerls*, who assured me they had
bem direct from you. I procured a box, and on using
hem, found the same effects from them I had always
xperienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my
§elfm possession of* medicine I bo highly piize, that
that I cannot, injustice, retain from giving you this
information. . ,
(TT 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
mediately under my printed name, they are genuine,,
and prepared by me; but if only the printed name is
affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

HTGEIANISM.
11HE 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 Hxgeian 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
I 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 unier
| stood, 1 state, in connexion with the relation of the
cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep
' tember, 1832, l caught a severe cold, which settled on
my lungs; I was confined to my room about one week,
I with a fever, attended with considerable cough; my
1 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 brea&t, very little ap
petite, and withal, very weak
A few weeks determined that l 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
reLpseupon 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” [small ul
cer] broke in the Inngs, after which I spat blood, one
day. 1 continued to decline twomonths longer, when
: 1 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, i
[attended with some cough, &c. &c. 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
days, my appetite became good, and f*o?d produced
no distress, sleep soon became jjound and refreshing,
and in about fi»rty 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, 1
took about four doses a week, until I had taken about
thirteen hundred pills, when 1 found myself restored
to health. After 1 commenced the Hyg ian, l took
no other medicine. One year from the first attack, I
was able to resume my studies in college, where I
have since remained without any recurrence of the
I disease. Hitherto I have been convalescent; and if
I my strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain I
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.
Dn H. Shei-heard Moat.
j Dear Sir—1 wist; to state that my sister, after severe
suffering, and employing a medical man three years,
! was relieved by the use of the Universal Medicines
: ll^-r complaint was a violent pain and soreness in her
[ side; indeed, to use her own expression, her >s on
j one side had turned in, actually deformed The pain
was a violent burning pain, almost intolerable; so see
veie, that she could not sit up for upwards of three
years. It was occasioned by over-lacing h- rs If, and
perhaps, over exertion with it. After using a few,
: doses of No. 1 and 2, alternately, about eight piPs for
, a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in
> their use, she is now restored to health; and I have
I no objection to this case being made public for the
benefit of others; and am, dear sir, your9 truly,
H. DYER.
Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb 8, 1834
Injustice to Dr. M,, her medical adviser, when he
heard her improvement in health, he recommended
perseverence in the jse 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,
i mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un
i 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 perfoiminga 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 tear of

DR. MEAD’S ANTI-DYSPECTIC, or Sta
MACH PILLS, 10'
THE only medicine ever yet offered to tl
public, from which a radical and perim
nent cure can be obtained of all those chroni
states of derangement of the digestive organ
constituting that complicated disease temS
Dyspepsia. ’ med
The duty which the proprietor owes to soo
ety, has induced him to adopt this mode of Cir
culation, in order to give it a greater ran^e of
publicity, that it may thereby become more ey
tensively useful than it could possibly be w>r
it confined within the private practice of ar.
individual whatever. The diseases consent
on a morbid state of the stomach and bo\v>p
are numerous, complicated, and, for the mn!l
part, very difficult of cure.
The proprietor of these Pills is happy in },av
ingit in his power to offer to all those who air
afflicted with the above complaint, a medicine
in which the most unlimited confidence may [ .
placed, and, for simplicity of composition ma!
be given to children and patients of the mr,
delicate habit. In every chronic case of stomac'
complaint, where the disease does not denerd
on a schirrus, or cancerous state of that organ
(in which case no medicine whatever can do
any good,) these pills will effect a certain and
speedy cure, after the stomach of the patient has
been cloyed with magnesia and chalk, and
drenched with all the bitter potions that art
could invent, to no purpose. They will mo*'
effectually remove all sourness of the stomac*
not merely by neutralizing the acid, but by rori
recting that morbid state of the secretions which
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 th"
whole system. Geo. Smith, Proprietor.

IMPROVED COMPOUND CHLOKIxF
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
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
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 narticle of the Chloride of 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 from
whatever cause. In short, this preparation will
be found to justify the various commendatory
notices and recommendations it has received.
