Consumption!
Asthma! ST Catarrh!
IN that long train of diseases which seem to grov
with the growth of civilized society, Consumptioi
takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon humai
life; yet this dreadful disorder is easily overcome in iti
earlier stages. It is only when neglected that it ar
rives at the terrific maturity which so often baffles th<
sagacitv of professional science. An obstinate cougt
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 an~
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 stage! of this complaint, one ol 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
edin a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit
ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter
mutation 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!
Til B 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. Kelfe. 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 habit9. The proprietor’s confidence in the
superior excellence of this equally inoocent 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* 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
description, the pills purify, invigorate, and revive the
disordered system. Price $1 50 a box.

PATENT RIGHT SECURED.
BEWARE OF IMPOSITION.
SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC
OINTMENT, (formerly Judkios’,)
Prepared by C. HERSTONS, near Frederick
town, Maryland.
Kicbmosd. 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 oat a pa
tent thereon. N. SHEPHERD.
dj* 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 lus own name. Hencefor.h it
will be known by the name of
i SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT
MENT, (formerly Judkins'.)
When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and
had in several instances, experienced it§ Rood effects,
I sent it to several physicians, with instruotions in what
cases to apply at. who were of opinion that the Oint
ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded
that the Ointment would occasionally f* JertakT'to
hands, some of whom would probably undertake to
make it, and knowing the difficulty of the process ne
verthelew, it might be progated in this .dult«..ed
tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the
nal—and in this way its good effects would ^ 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 skih of me
dical science: , . .
l3t White swellings of every description;
2d Sore less and ulcers of long standing,
3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularly those,
hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes
terminate in ulcerated 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 allkinds. In this complamtthe 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
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 lieal 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.

and which 1 now understand is made and sold by

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
wbatit 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 ly decided would, without ampu

and the patient is in line health. Ilia limb affected by

Baltimobe, August, 1828.
Doctor S. H. P. Lee, New London, Conn.
Deah 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, 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 witli
pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other
respoct. Finding those 1 had without this test, 1 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. 1 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
self in possession of ft medicine I so highly prize, that
that I cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this
information. _ . --
(Tj* To avoid the imposition of counterfeits ana 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 band writing, im
mediately under my printed name, they are genuine,
and prepared by mej but if only the printed name is
affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

HTGEIANISM.
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 u cure, which, l think, I 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 may be explicitly under
stood, I 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; 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 rny 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
reKpse 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 Inngs, after which I spat blood, one
day. 1 continued to decline twomonths longer, when
I 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
I afternoon from seventy-five to one hundred per mi
nine, rood produced great distress, appetite very
! poor, pain in the breast directly opposite the heart,
attended with some cough, Sic. &c. Such was my
condition, when I first became acquainted with the
Uygeian Medicines I commenced taking the raedi
' 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 I had taken about
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 it
my strength is not yet fully returned, l am certain 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.
Dr II. RuBHicAnD 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 os on
one side had turned in, actually deformed The pain
wras 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 ami 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, wdien he
lu-ard her improvement in health, he recommended
perseverence in the use of he medicines.
This valuable Medicine, being composed only o(
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 destiue
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 phasant
and benign in it<operation, and at the same time the
most searching out the root of every complaint, bow*
i ever deep, and of performing a cure, that was ever
j offered to the world. This wonderful effL't.too, is
i 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
catching cold, or attention to dress ur 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, tire 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
sistunce 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
WM. POMEROY, Alexandria,
Sole Agent for the District of Columbia and its vicinity.
