are every year increasing their long established repu*
tatioo. Thev have outlived many rival preps'-4110,18 >
and are continually gaining upon public confidence.
The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin
istered for manv years, as a thorough remedy for that
well known and prevalent class of inveterate diseases
which originate from a vitiated habit of hotly, 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, Foel and Ob
stinate Ulcers. Sore Legs and Eyes, Scald Head, and
Venereal Taint.
In the last mentioned condition of the system, the
Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk*
ing po*son, where mercury has totally failed, and thus
prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he
reditary disease on his offspring.
Dr. Relfe’a Botanical Drops are successfully used in
eases 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.

Consumption!
Asthma! & 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 .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 congh
it the customary forerunner of the pulmonary con
sumption Improper neglect in the timely adminja
* "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 extreme ties, and general emaciation of the
whole body; prostratioo of airt ngth; flushed cheeks;
swollen feet and legs; and at lust, in the full posses
sion of the mental faculties, and while hope still whis

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC
OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,)
Prepared by C. HERSTUN S, 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, 18i7,
until the expiration of the samet tmt, having connect* i
ed myself with Or. Judkins in the commencement, I
permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term
of the patent having expired on the 26t:< June, 1 have
made an improvement in the same, and taken oat a pa
tent thereon. ' N. SHKPtlBRD;
CTy 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 m liU letters 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 Judkiru'.)
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 wnat
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
tuatjpn, as it might in some degree resemble the origi
nal—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera
ted Under these considerations, 1 secured the origi
nal and certain remedy for those obstinate diseases,
some of which have so long battled the skill of me
i dical science^
1st wnite swelling* ot every description,
2<l Sore lew anil ulcer* of long standing,
3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlythose
hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes
terminate In ulcetated cancers;
4th Felons; or what some people know by the name i
of catarrhs, of every description.
5th Uheumatic painsofthe joints;
6th Sprains and bruises ofevery description, or in
whatever pirt 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 partaaffected by frost.
It is also oi’r of the best remedies for burns and
scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out m a
short time.
For infhme.l 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 i
any preparation of (he mineral,) because it does not
lay the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold.
This Oiniment has cured sores of many years stand
ing. Where it i* impossible or imprudent to heal the
exten al tore, in consequence of the bones becoming
carious oi 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 Ftlods and Whitlows, on applica
tion of forty.eight hours

Doctor S. H. P. L.xx, New London, Lonn.
Dias Sib—It is now upwards of twenty years that I :
have used your New London Bdi ms Pill* in my f»mi 1
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. 1 never found their accustomed certainty to vary
j in their operation and effects until a few months past;
! and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve
ry instance of using them, f oegan to conclude that you
bad 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 your own manufacture, by having your
WRITTF.N 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
{ respoct. Finding those 1 had without this test, I be
gan to suspect (hat “ all was not fair in medicine, as
II well as ia politics, and called at several of our apothe
I caries for your pills, with your written signature. 1
found many without this test, but none with it, until 1
to the Messrs Keerls’, who assured me they bad
them direct from you. 1 procured a box, and on using
them, found the same effects from them I had always
experienced, and an so much rejoiced on finding my
•elfin possesion of a medicine I so nighty prize, that
that I cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you thia
information.
QCy To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spa
rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser has '
only to examine the bill of directions covering each
boa, and if signed at foot, in my ova handwriting, im*
mediately under my printed name, they are genuine, |

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:—
Biown Usivbbsitx, Dec. 25, 1833.
To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the H>gcian Vege
table Universal Medicines, for the State of llhode
Island.
Sin—Gratitude to the 6reat Preserver of Men com
pels me, in compliance with your request, to give a
brief statement of a cure, which, 1 think, I received
from the tiygeian 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 afflicted with a similar disease.
My eomplaint was called Pulmonary Consumption,
and that my real condition may be explicitly unler
Htoo d, I state, in connexion with the relation of the
cure, some of the symptoms of the disease, (n 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 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 davs; 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. Hut
re! pse upon relapse, and each bringing me lower
than the preceding, seemed *.o baffle ail human skill,
and warn me of an approaching dissolution. Thus,
months after the first -Hack, a " tubercle” [small ul
cer] bruke ill the lnngs, after which I spat blood, one
day. I continued to decline twomonths 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^, 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 bre»9t directly opposite the h<*art,
attended with some cough, &c. Nc. Such was my
condition, when I first became acquainted with the
llygeian Medicines I commenced taking the medi
cines, four pills at a (lose, 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 r-fresliing,
and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease
had nearly all disappeared.
I took the medicine aixty days regularly ewery night,
averaging about ten pills at a dose; the greatest num
her taken at any one time was fifteen. After this, I
took about four doses a week, until | had taken ahou*
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, t
was atjle to resume my studies in college, where I
have since remained without any recurrence of the
disease llitlo-rto J have been convalescent; and il
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
tion. Vours, with respect,

was a violent burning pain, almost intolerable; so see

perhaps, over exertion with it. After using a few,
doses of No. 1 and 2, alternately, about eight pihs for

H. DYER.
Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb 8, 1834
Injustice to Dr. M., her medical adviser, when he
heard her impr vement in health, ne recommended
perseverenct in the me of he medicines.
This valuable Medicine, being composed only of
vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted,
on oath, at containing not me particle of mercurial,
mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un
congenial to the nature of man, and therefore destine
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
snd benign in itioperation, and at the same time the
most searching out the root of every complaint, how
ever deep, and of perfuiminga cure, that was ever
offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is
produced by the least trouble to tiie 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 ■‘rengtli, and without tht 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, because
