sre every year increasing their long established repu

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 ot
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St Anthony s I-iFe,
•Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Foul and Ob
stinate Ulcers. Sore Legs and Eyes, Scald Head, and
^Trfthe last mentioned condition of the system, the
Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk
®g poison, where mercury has totally failed, and thus
prevent the patient from entailing the seeds ofr an he
reditary disease on his offspring.
Ur. 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 Burface;

A physician of eminence, who had witnessed the ef
ficacy of this article, had the candor recently to ack

C/onsumption!
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 relewtless inroads upon human
" life- yet *his dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its
earlier stages. It is only when neglected that .t ar
rives at the terrific maturity whDh so often baffles the
sagacity of professional science. An obstinate coug i
is the customary forerunner of the puunonary 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 anil
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 yet discovered is

innocent preparation, has effected thorough an 1 rapid

As the Pills require in ordinary cases no confine
raent, they may be administered with confidence and
safety to all ages and classes of people. Unexampled
succ* ss 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

BEWARE OF IMPOSITION.
SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC
OINTMENT, (.formerly Judkins’,)
Prepared by C. H £ IISJ'U.X S, near Frederick
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, !
until the expiration of the same; but, having connect-1
ed my self with Dr. Judkins in the commencement, I
permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term I
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. ;
03* Imposition having been practised upon the nub - f
lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of “ Jud- i
kins’ Ointment,** the proprietor avails himself of the
authority granted to him in his letter* 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 it, who were of opinion that the Oint
ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded
that the Ointment would occasionally fall into many
hands, some of whom would probably undertake to
make it, and knowing the difficulty of the process—ne
vertheless, it might be progated in this adulterated si
tuation, as it might in some degree resemble the origi
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 theskm of me
dical science: # .
1st White swellings of every description;
2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing,
3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlytho3e
hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes
terminate in ulceiated cancers;
4th Felons; or whatsome people know by tuen&me
of catarrhs, of every description.
5th Rheumatic pains of the joints;
6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or in
whatever part situate;
7th 'fetters 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. i
It is also one of the best remedies for burns and ;
scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in a j
short time. I
1 For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel i
lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to the
medical faculty. It is much safer than mercurial ap-1
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 lus cured sores of many years stand
ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the
external sure, in consequence of the bones becoming i
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 I now understand is made and sold by

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 j
efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause
whatit mayi and i have found nothing so good for j
wounds of any description It may be proper to j
add, that the cure of a tumor called white swelling, :
given over by the most distinguished physicians as in-1
curable, and which th sy decided would, without ampu

Doctor S. H. P. Lee, New London, Conn.
Dear Sir—It i9 now upwards of twenty years that I
have used your New London Bdious Hills in my fami
ly, and always found them an efficient.purgative in al
most everv 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 spurious
imitations from vour own manufacture, by having your
WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions, 1
and that in no instance were the imitations signed with
pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other <
respoct. Finding those l had without this test, I be- [
gun to suspect that “ all was not fair in medicine, as
well as is politics, and called at several of our apothe
caries for your pills, with your written signature. 1
found many without this test, but none with it, until 1
came to the Messrs Kcerls*, 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- g
aelfin possession of a medicine I so highly prize, that |
that I cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this ;
information.
(£j* 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.

HY GSIANISM.
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 mind3 of the most skeptical:—
Brown University, Pec. 25, 18331
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, I received
from the Hygeian Medicines. I give publicity to the
same the more cheerfully, because thereby, perhaps,
I may be useful to some of my fellow-men, who may
be affiicted with a similar disease.
My complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption,
and that my real condition maybe explicitly unler*
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; l 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, l 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 blnod, 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 baffie all human skill,
and warn me of an approaching dissolution. Thus,
months after the first attack, a “ tubercle” [small ul
cer] broke in the lungs, after which I spat blood, one
day. 1 continued to decline two months 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 lifele-s, 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 l first became acquainted with the
Hygeian Medicines I commenced taking the medi
cines, four pills at a do;e, 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,
ami in about forty days the symptoms of the disease
had nearlv all disanDeared
1 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 filteen. 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 1 commenced the Hyg-dan, I took
no other medicine. One year from the first attack, 1
w»s able to resume my studi-s in college, where I
leave 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 l
have less pains, and am m ire free from temporary
sicknes35 than ai any time since my earliest recollec
tion. Yours, with respect,
HORACE T. LOVE.
Du H. SfiKrutAiU) Moat.
Dear Sir—I wiah 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 un, 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 w ith it. After u?ing a few,
doses of Vo, l and 2, alternately, about eight pilU for
a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in
their U3e, she is now restored to health; and I have
no objection to tins case being made public for the
benefit of others; and am, dear sir, yours Duly,
H. DYER.
Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb. 8, 1834.
Injustice to Dr. .VI.. 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 >ne particle of mercurial,
mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un
congenial to the nature of man, and therefore dcstruc
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
produced by the lea3t trouble to the parents, bv
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 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, beca ise
they clear the body of its had humours, and invariably
procure sound sleep, i'hey are the safest and most
efficacious menicine to take to sea; preventing scurvy,
