l<£?» Botanical Drops!
are every year increasing their long established repu
tation. They have outlived many rival preparations,
and are continually gaining upo;, 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 ind distressing shapes of
Scrofula, Salt ttheum, Leprosy, St. Anthony's Fire,
Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Fonl and Olr
stinate Ulcers, Sore Legs and Eyes, Scald Head, and
Yenerea) Taint.
In the last mentioned condition of tne system, tne
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. Relfe'a 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 system from humors.
A physician of eminence, who had witnessed the ef
Acacy 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
the head of the whole class of such remedies.

BRITISH ANTISEPTIC DENTRIFICE.
This is an elegant and pleasant preparation in every
respect, and has, for many years past, given universal
satisfaction wherever it has been used
The Antiseptic Dentrifice is exempt from acid and
other deleterious ingredients, which too frequent y
enter the composition of tooth powders m common
use. and it whitens the enamel of the teeth without
doing it the least injury. The regular use of this ad
mired powder, by purifying the mouth and preventing
4k- mnlatinn of tartar, operates as the best pre
ventive of the Tooth Ache. The Dentrifice removes
discolorations, and restores the beautiful native White
ness of the enamel. As its application braces and
strengthens vhe 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!
Astluua! Catarrh!
IN that long train of diseases which seem to grow
with the growth of civilized society, Consumption
tabes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human
life; yet his 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 baiik3 the
sagacity of professional science. Anobstir.tte 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
sionof the 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 exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and 1
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
ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter
mination of'he 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 I
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
activity.
Price $1 for whofe boxes of 30 pills, and 50 cents for

constitution, for which the pills are an effectual speci
fie; the. restore a free circula ion, reform the irregular
operation* of the sangu ferous system, and rectify the
di .ordered habits. the proprietor's confidence in the
superior excellence of this equally innocent and pow
•rful preparation, is founded on the most decisive te9
timony from many restored patients. He can assure
this portion of the public, that when
HR. RELFE’S AROMATIC PILLS FOR
FEMALES
are regularly taken, according to the directions, ac
companying them, they revive and establish the desir

Married ladies will find the pills equally useful, ex

taken; neither must they betakmby persons of hec
tic or consumptive habits. They may be used success
fully by either men or women in all Hypochondriac,

PATENT RIGHT SECURED.
BEWARE OF IMPOSITION.
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 1 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.
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 his letters patent, now to
call the Ointment after his own name. Henceforth it
will be known by the name of
SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT
MENT, (formerly Judkins'.)
| When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and
had, in several instances, experienced its good effects,
I sent it to several physicians, with instructions in what
cases to apply H, who were of opinion that the Oint
ment would be a valuable public benefit. ! concluded
that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many
hands some of whom would probably undertake to
make it, and knowing the difficulty °rthe,p^>^es9'Tn<j‘
vertheless, it might be progated in this ^Iterated si
tuation, as it might in some degree resemble theory,
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 diseases,
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 ulcetated cancers;
4th Felons; or what some people know by thename
of catarrhs, of every description.
5th Uheumatic 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
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
plication®, (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,
incret.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

Sir—It has been my wish, fora considerable time,
to communicate to you the good effect with which 1
have used the Oin1 ment invented by a Mr. Judkins,
and which I now understand is made and sold by
agents appointed bv yourself, I 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
efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause
whatit 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 bv the most lisiinguished physicians as in
curable. and which th .y decided would, without ampu
tation, prove fatalto the patient, was, under my imme
diate notice, effected by the use of Judkins* Ointment,
and the patient is in fine health. His limb affected by
the tumor being restored to a perfectstate of sound
ness. >Uo that the leg of an aged man which had been
wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated sur
face from the knee to the/oot, and which, for more
than two years, had been considered incurable, wasef
fectually cured by the application of Judkins’ Oint
ment. I mention these two casea, whichfellunder my
immediate notice and management, as a decided evi
dence of the efficacy ofthis remedy in cases of tumor
and ofulcers; I have expe.ienced, as decidedly, the
good effect of this remedy in the cure of Felons, and
of every species of fresh wound. It seems to me that
any one who wll observe on the operation of this Oint
ment, must be satisfied as to its beneficial effect. I can
with the utmostconfidence recommend the use ofthis
valuable remedy, lam, sir, very respectfully,

Doctor S. H. P. I.ee, 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; i
and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve
ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that you 1
had made your fortune, and abandoned their nmufac- <
ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this
impression, I accidentally saw an advertisement of 1
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 t
respect. Finding those I 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 piils, with your written signature. I
found many without this test, but none with it, until I
came to the Messrs Keerls’, who assured me they had
them direct from you. ! procured a box, and on using -
them, found the same effects -from them I had always fc
experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my- s
self in possession of a medicine I so highly prize, that
that 1 cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this
information. * . _
(jjr* 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-1
mediately under my printed name, they are genuine, j
and prepared by me; but if only the printed name is
affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

HYGEIANISM.
THR 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 Higeian 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 u cure, which, I think, I received
from the Hygeian Medicines. 1 give publicity to the
same the more cheerfully; because thereby, perhaps,
1 msy 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 j
stood, I stale, in connexion with the relation of the
cure, some of the symptoms of the disease, fn Sep
tember, 1832,1 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, 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, 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
reLpse 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” [small ul
cer] broke in the Inng9, after which 1 spat blood, one
day. 1 continued to decline twomonths longer, when
1 obtained the Hygeian Medicines. 1 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. Etc. 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 fond 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, l
took about four doses a week, until I had taken abou*
thirteen hundred pills when I found myself restored
to health. After I commenced the Hyg ian, I 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
disease Hitherto I 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
sicknessj than at any time since my earliest recollec
tion. Yours, with respect,
HORACE T. LOVE.
Dn H. Pbepbxahd 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 p%in, almost intolerable; so see
veie, that she could not sit up for upwards of three
years. It was occasioned by over-lacing hers c* If, and
perhaps, over exertion with it. After using a few,
doses of l1 o. 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 being made public for the
benefit of others; and am, dear sir, yours trulv,
H. DYER.
Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb 8, 1834
Injustice to Dr. M. her medical adviser, when he
heard her improvement in health, lie 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
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
nrrwlunc»H Kir tkrt laoaf f vaiiUI/x f rv f k a ki
[--- J -- w.v ■■"'i w;
merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and
being called a few extra times to the purposes of eva
citation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or
exhaustion of bodily s’rength, 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 « annot 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 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
procure sound sleep. They are the safest and most
efficacious menicineto take to sea; preventing scurvy,
costiveness, &c.
The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as
sistance to patients, and facilitate the evacuation of

The duty which the proprietor owes to s •

effectually remove all sourness of the stomach'
not merely by neutralizing the acid, but by cor*

IMPROVED COMPOUND CHLOrImT
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 1/
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 tne 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 tne proper remedy ana preierauie to po*
ders, dentriiices, &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 of Soda, o,
the agency of which their efficacy must nece'
sarily depend.
This article is confidently offered to the ex
animation of the public, as possessing in an em
inent degree the virtue of neutralizing all tlmi
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.
