been tested by time, and are sustained by undoubted
testimony DR relfe,s
a?- 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 general y
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 anJ Byes, Scald Head, and
' C|n the last mentioned condition of the system, the
Hntanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk
“ng po,s‘n. where mercury has totally failed, 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
,he head of the whole class of such remedies.

WHITE TEETH! AND HEALTHY GUMS!
THOSE who would retain or restore these desirable
personal advantages, are assured that no compo
sition can be obtained superior t'. 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
.-liter the composition of tooth pow Jers in common
a-e.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
:he 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 the Gums, it secures to them their healthy
-nil florid hue, and, by removing all offensive foreign
^cumulations from the teeth, preserves the natural
sweetness of the breath. Price 50 cents

Consumption!
Asthma! fr Catarrh!
that long train of diseases which seem to gro\y
1. with the growth of civilized society, Consumption
.akes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human
life; yet this 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
‘3 the customary forerunner of the pulmonary con
jumption- Improper neglect in the timely adrainis
ration of simple and salutary remedies, is sure to be
eproved by a dreadful succession of consumptive
»ymptoms — oppression of the breast; greenish and
>toody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri
•elled extremeties, and general emaciation of the
./hole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks;
jwoilen feet and legs; and at last, in the full passes
. ion of the mental faculties, and while hope still whis
iers her flattering tale—cold extremities, and a pre*
nature death.
For the various stages of this complaint, one of the
.jost approved remedies ever vet discovered is
DR. RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS.
This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally sate and 1
r.nocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid i

the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter
mination of <he disorder.
As the Fills require in ordinary c*se9 no confine
.nent, they may be administered with confidence and
.afety to all ages and classes of people. Unexampled
jucceas has hitherto attended their administration in a
4Z real variety of cases; and the proprietor can refer to

.he emaciated victim from the bed of disease, and re
Storing him to the blessings of accustomed iiealtli and

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC !
OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,) 1
Prepared by C. HERSrOJVS, near Frederick■ \
town% Maryland. 3
Richmond. Va- July 15, 1830. i
f IlHE public will be pleased to understand that 1 was \
A the original discoverer of Judkins’ Ointment, and ! a
sole proprietor of the pateut from September, 1817, r
until the expiration of the same; nut, having connect- I r
ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement, I g
permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term v
of the patent haviug expired on the 26th June, I have c
made an improvement in the same, and takeu out a pa- f<
tent thereon. N. SHEPHERD. c
Xj* Imposition having been practised upon the nub tl
ic by a spurious article, bearing the name of “ Jud- tl
ilna* Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of the e
uthorlty granted to him in his letters patent, now to
all the Ointment after his own name. Henceforth it
vill be known by the name of
iHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT
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 m 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
nakeit, 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 ongi
ial-a«id in this way its good effects would be oblitera
ted. Under these considerations, I secured tne origi
nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases,
;ome of which have so long baffle J the skih ot me
iical science: . .
1st White swellings of every description;
2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing,
3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlythoae
hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes
terminate in ulceiated cancers;
4th Felons; or whatsome people know by thename ;
of catarrhs, of every description.
5th Rheumatic pains oft he joints;
6th Sprains and bruises ofevery description, or in
whatever part situate;
7th Tetters of all kinds. In this complaint the pa
tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part
out of 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
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
in**. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the
external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming
carious oi rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries,
increase the quantity of discharge, remove the offen
sive smell, and ease the pains.
It cures the worst Felods and Whitlows, on applica
tion or torty-eignt nours

Sir —My son having been afflicted for five years
with white swelling, and having applied every reme

made the application according to the directions ac

of the afflicted, that before one jug was used, a perfect
cure was effected. My son has enjoyed good health
ever since. 1 have no doubt that to the Ointment alone
he is indebted; for nothing else was used for more

and which 1 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 l have found nothing so good for
wouuJs 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 ih ;y decided would, without ampu
tation, prove fatallo the patient, was, under my imme
diate notice, effected by the use of Judkins* Ointment,
xnd the patient is in fine health- His limb affected by
the tumor, being restored to a perfectstate of sound

wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated sur
face from the knee to the foot, and which, for more
than two years,had been considered incurable, wrascf

and ofulcers: I have expe.ienced, as decidedly, the

Doctor S. H. P. Lee, New London, Conn.
Dear Sir—It is now upwards of twenty years that I
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«
red 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;
ind having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve
y instance of using them, I began to conclude that you
jad made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac
ure to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this
mpression, l accidentally saw an advertisement of
ours in a New York newspaper, designating spurious
mitations from your nwn manufacture, by having your
VRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions, i
nd that in no instance were the imitations signed with
ien and ink, although a perfect copy in every other '
espact Finding those I had without this test, 1 be- I
an to suspect that “ all was not fair in medicine, as
fell as ih 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 1
arae to the Messrs Keerls’, who assured me they had
lem direct from you. I procured a box, and on using -
lem, found the same effects from them 1 had always 1
xperienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my- g
self in possession of a medicine 1 so highly prize, that
that I cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this
information.
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 owlt the printed name is
affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

H YG EIANISM.
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 Universitt, 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, I 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 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, Rnd 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 tew weeks determineatuat i was in a aecune. i
received the attention of the most skilful Physician*,
who often seemed to check the progress of the dis
ease, and inspire the hope of a speedy recovery. Hut
rel-pse 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 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 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, Xtc. &c. Such was my
condition, when ! 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 nignt,
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 aboii*
thirteen hundred pills, when I found myself restored
to health. After I commenced the Hygeian, l took
no other medicine. One year from the first attack, 1
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 1
have less pains, and am more free from temporary
aicknessj than at any time since my earliest recollec
tion. Yours, with respect,
HORACE T. LOVE.
Dn II. Shephearp Moat.
Dear Sir—1 wish to state that my sifter, 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 ait up for upwards of three
years. It was occasioned by over-lacing hers If, and
perhaps, over exertion with it. After using a few,
dose3ofNo. 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 1 have
no objection to this case beirtg made public for the
benefit cf 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
perscverence 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 de3tiuc
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 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 ot
catc.ung 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 b> 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,
coshveness, &tc.
The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as
sistance to patients, and facilitate the evacuation of
bad humours; they soften, cleanse, and detach the
