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 tor many 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 general y
appear under the various and distressing shapes ot
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St. Antony s Fire,
Fever Sore*. White Swellings, Scurvy, Foul and Ob
•tinate Ulcera, Sore Legs and Byes, Scald Head, anu
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 thui
preventthe 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—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 syatem 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.

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 this dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its
Aarlier stares. It is only when neglected that it ar
rives at the terrific maturity which so often baffles the
aa(racitv 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
reoroved by a dreadful succession of consumptive
symptoms—oppression of the breast; greenish and
bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; sbn
v yelled extremeties, and general emaciation of the
whole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks;
swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses
aion of the mental faculties, and while hope still whis
pew her flattering tale—cold extremities, and a pre
mature death.
For the various stages of this complaint, one ot the
most approved remedies ever yet discovered js_ _
DRThEUFE'S ASTHMATIC PILL9.
This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and
innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid
cures upon patients supposed to have been far £ulvane
edin a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit
ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter
mination of the disorder.
As the Fills require in ordinary cases no conhne
ment they may be administered with confidence and
safety to all ages and classes of people. Lnexampled
success has hitherto attended their administration in a
srreat variety of cases; and the proprietor can refer to
a multitude, which testify to their efficacy in reviving
the emaciated victim trom the bed of disease, and re
storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and

fici they reatorea free circulation, reform the irregular
operations of the sangu.ferous system, and rectify the
disordered habits. The proprietor's confidence in the
auDerior excellence of this equally innocent and pow
arm! preparation, is founded on the most decisive tes
timony from many restored patients. He can assure
this portion of the public, that when
DR. RELFE’3 AROMATIC PILLS FOR
FEMALES
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.
Harried ladies will find the pills equally useful, ex

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,

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, j
until the expiration of the same; but, having connect
ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the compiencement, I
permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term
jf the patent having expired on the 26th June, I have
nade an improvement in the same, and taken oat apa
:entthereon. N. SHEPHERD.
Imposition having been practised upon the nub
ic by a spurious article, bearing the name of M Jud
[ins* Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of the
authority granted to him in hi» letters patent, now to
call the Ointment after hi« own name. Henceforth
will be known by the name of _
SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT- (
MENT, (formerly Judkins'.) ,
When I first made and prepared thia Ointment, an |
had in several instances, experienced its M>od effects, .
IsenUUo several physicians, with instructions in what ,
. niu who were of opinion that the Omt*
m“n? woidd be i valuable public benefit. I concluded
Sk.? frh«n Ointment would occasionally fall into many
handsome o”whom would probably undertake to
make it, and knowing the difficulty of the procesi ne
vertheless, it might be progated in this aduUeraied si.
tnation as it might in some degree resemble the origi
mil—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera
ted Under these considerations, 1 secured the g
nat and certlin 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, particularlytnose
hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes
terminate in ulceiated cancers; ...
4th Felons; or what some people know by thename
of catarrhs, of every description.
5th Rheumatic pains of the joints;
6th Sprains and bruises ofevery description, or in
whatever part situate; . ~
7th Tetters of allkinds. In this complaint the pa
tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part
out of water;
8th Chilblains or parts affected by Frost. i
It is also one of the best remedies for burns and ;
scalds. U eases the pain and draws the fire out in a '
short time. , . . , , !
For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel
lings, iris 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 o\ rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries,
increise 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 I now understand is made and sold by
agents appointed by 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. I 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 by the most distinguished physicians as in
curable, and whichth jy decided would, withoutampu
tation, prove fatalto the patient, was, under my imme

and the patient is i n fine health. His limb affected by
the tumor being restored to a perfectstate of sound

wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated sur

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
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 9purious
I imitations from your own manufacture, by having your
WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions, i
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- f
ganto 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 I
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 1
experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my- (c
elfin possession of a medicine I so highly prize, that
hat I cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this
nformation. . „ _. _

HYGEIANISM.
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.
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, 1 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 maybe explicitly under
stood, l 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,
with a fever, attended with considerable cough; my
cough soon abated, and apparently, l 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 strum, 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
relapse 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 I spat blood, one
day. 1 continued to decline^womonths longer, when
. i . . « . i .. • _ ■ I_1 _ 1__
1 ODiamea uie nygeiau mcuiuucs- i uau nuw utvn
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. &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 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, 1
took about four doses a week, until l had taken about
thirteen hundred pills, when I found myself restored
to health. After l commenced the Hygeian, 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
sickness} than at any time since my earliest recollec- 1
tion. Yours, with respect,
HORACE T. LOVE*
Du H. SuEPHEAnn Moat.
Dear Sir—I 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 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 truly,
H. DYER.
Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb. 8, 1834
In justice to Dr. 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 one 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 pl-asant
and benign in its 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 numoer or small pins, ana
being called a few extra times to the purposes of eva
cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or
exhaustion of bodily.sirength, and without the fear of
catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in 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 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 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.
The genuine Medicines can be had of

DR. MEAD’ar ANTI-DY SPECTIC, or STi»
MACH PILLS, A"*
THE only medicine ever yet offered to th
public, from which a radical and perm *
nent cure can be obtained of all those chronf
states of derangement of the digestive organ*
constituting that complicated disease, term J
Dyspepsia. m
The duty which the proprietor owes to soc
ety, has induced him to adopt this mode of ci •
culation, in order to give it a greater range r •
publicity, that it may thereby become mor.^ ev
tensively useful than it could possibly be wer
it confined within the private practice of an
individual whatever. The diseases consequent
on a morbid state of the stomach and bow^h
are numerous, complicated, and, for the m'rJ!
part, very difficult of cure. most
The proprietor of these Pills is happy jn n
ing it in his power to offer to all those who
afflicted with the above complaint, a medicir
in which the most unlimited confidence may L
placed, and, for simplicity of composition ma!
be given to children and patients of the’m. ,
delicate habit. In every chronic case of stomach
complaint, where the disease does not depend
on a schirrus, or cancerous state of that orbin'
(in which case no medicine whatever can
any good,) these pills will effect a certain anil
speedy cure, after the stomach of the patient ha*
been cloyed with magnesia and chalk, ami
drenched with all the bitter potions that ar
could invent, to no purpose. They will m0v.
effectually remove all sourness of the stomac'
not merely by neutralizing the acid, but by cor
recting that morbid state of the secretions which
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 thr
whole system. Geo. Smith, Proprietor.

IMPROVED COMPOUND CHLORINE
TOOTH WASH
THE discovery of the Chloride of Soda and
its ulls, by Labarraque, of Paris, was an
addition to the resouroes of medicine of the ut
most importance as a neutralizing agent.
To counteract at once the principle of decay, -
which commencing imperceptibly, slowly g*.
tliers 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 ot cases, the result
of neglect and a gradual accumulation of the
principle above alluded to, it became obvious
from the earliest experiments, that the Chlorid**
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 ofibred 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.
