p? 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 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 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
V In the last mentioned condition ot the system, t^e
Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk
ing poison, where mercury has totally faded, 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 system from humors.
A physician of eminence, who had witnessed 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
is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at
the head of the whole class of such remedies.

WHITE TBSTH! AN? HEALTHY GUMS!
THOSE who would retain or restore these desirable
personal advantages, are assured that no compo
sition can be obtained superior tc the
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
»hA ftnmnosition of tooth-powders in common
use, and it whitens the enamel of the teeth witnout
doing it the least injury. The regular use of this ad
mired powder, by purifying the mouth and preventing
the accumulation 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 ihe Gums, it secures to them their healthy
and flarid hue, and, by removing all offensive foreign
accumulations from the teeth, preserves the natural
sweetness of the breath. Price 50 cents

Consumption!
Astluna! »V Catarrh!
IN that long train of diseases which seem to grow
with the growth of civilised society, Consumption
takes 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 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 extiemities, and a pre
mature death.
For the various stages of this complaint, one of the
most approved remedies ever yet discovered is
DR. RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS.
This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and
innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid
cures upon patients supposed to have been far advanc

cd the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter
min&tion of the disorder.
As the Pills 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 from the bed of disease, and re
storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and
activity •

[(Debilitated Females!
FfflHE complaints peculiar to the female part of the
JL community, have been long successfully treated
by the administration of the Aromatic Pills, originally
prescribed and compounded by Dr. Relfe They
cleanse the blood from those disorders of the female
constitution, for which the pills^are an effectual speci
fic; they restore a free circulation, reform the irregular
operations of the sanguiferous system, and rectify the
disordered habits. The proprietor's confidence in the
superior excellence of this equally moocent and pow
erful 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’S 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.
Married ladies will find the pills equally useful, ex
cept in cases of paegnancy, when they must not be
taken; ueither 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
description, the pills purify, invigorate, and revive the
disordered system. Price $1 50 a box.

sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817, p
until the expiration of the same; but, having connect- r

MENT, (formerly Judkins'.) ,
When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and |
lad in several instances, experienced its good effects, ,
sent it to several physicians, with instructions in what ,
ases to apply it, who were of opinion that the Oint- ,
nent would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded
hat the Ointment would occasionally fall into many
lands, some of whom would probably undertake to
nake it, and knowing the difficulty of the process—ne
rertheless, it might be progated in this adulterated «
nation, as it might in some degree resemble the ongt
lal—and in this way its good effects would be obhtera

4th Felons; or what sorae people know by thename
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 allkinds. In this complaint the pa-!
:ient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part 1
put of water;
8th Chilblains or partsaffected by frost. i
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 vet known to the i
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 docs not
lay the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold.

Joctor S. H. P. Lee, New London, Conn. <
Deah Sir—It is now upwards of twenty years that I t
lave used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami
y, and always found them an efficient purgative in al*
nost every description of disease, and believe they sa*
ed 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; a
nd having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve- f
y instance of using them, I began to conclude that you 1
lad made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac- a
ure to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this f
mpression, I accidentally saw an advertisement of (
ours in a New York newspaper, designating spurious v
imitations from your own manufacture, by having your I
VRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions, s
nd that in no instance were the imitations signed with
ien and ink, although a perfect copy in every other ti
espact. Finding those I had without this test, I be- tl
an to suspect that “ ail was not fair in medicine, as
/ell as in politics, and called at several of our apothe- ’
aries for your pills, with your written signature. I
)und many without this test, but none with it, until I
ame to the Messrs. Keerls*, who assured me they had 1
lem direct from you. I procured a box, and on using J
iem, found the same effects from them I had always b
xperienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my- si
e^fin possession of a medicine I so highly prize, that
hat I cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this
nformation.
(Ej* To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu
■ions imitations, as related above, the purchaser has
>nly to examine the bill of directions covering each
jox, and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im
mediately under my printed name, they are genuine,

H Y GEIANISM.
THE following testimonials of thS 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:—
Bhown University, Dec. 25, 1833*
To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the Hygeian Vege
table Universal Medicines, for the State of Rhode
Island.
Sin—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 thtnk, 1 received
from the Hygeian Medicines. 1 give publicity to the
same the more cheerfully, because thereby, perhaps,
I 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,! 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 lungs; 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; wdien, after about three weeks, in the
course of the night, having returned the evening be
fore in usual health, I found myself bleed'ng 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
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
. i i . i t r. . i ■ i
uei j urunL1 m iimgb, uutr wmcu i spai uiuuu, uue
day. 1 continued to decline tw omonths 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, Ike. Ike. 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 I had taken about
thirteen hundred pills, when I found myself restored
to health. After I commenced the Hygrian, I took
no other medicine. One year from the first attack, I
w’as able to resume my 9tudi- s 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 1
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*
Dr. H. Siibi'IIbaud 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 ow»n expression, her js 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 e> If, and
perhaps, over exertion w ith it. After using a few,
doses of No, I and 2, alternately, about eight pills for
a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in
their use, 9he 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.
Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb. 8, 1834
Injustice 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 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 oil bodily sirenglh, and without the tear of
catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way
different from their accustomc 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 by purging; and yet the weak,
ihe feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are
n 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
ifficacious menicineto take to sea; preventing scurvy,

states of derangement of the digestive or^am.
constituting that complicated disease, termed
The duty which the proprietor owes to soei
ety, has induced ?iim to adopt this mode of cir
culation, in order to give it a greater range oi
publicity, that it may thereby become more ex
tensively useful than it could possibly be. were
it confined within the private practice of any
individual whatever. The diseases consequent
on a morbid state of the stomach and bowels,
are numerous, complicated, and, for the most
part, very difficult of cure.
The proprietor of these Pills is happy in hav
ing it in his power to offer to all those who are
afflicted with the above complaint, a medicine
in which the most unlimited confidence maybe
placed, and, for simplicity of composition, may
be given to children and patients of the mo>t
delicate habit. In every chronic case of stomach
complaint, where the disease does not depend
on a schirrus, or cancerous state of that organ,
(iu which case no medicine whatever can do
any good,) these pills will efTect 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 most
effectually remove all sourness of the stomach,
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 the
whole system. Geo. Smith, Proprietor.
