Consumption!

life; yet this dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its
earlier stages. It is only when neglected thst it ar
rives at the terrific maturity which so often Daffies the

isthe customary Forerunner of the pulmonary con
sumption Improper neglect in the timely aJminia
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 extremetiea, and general emaciation of the
whole bodv; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks;
swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the lull posses
sion of the mental faculties, and while hope still whia |
pers her flattering tale—cold extremities, and a pre
mature death. . _ ,
For the various stages of this complaint, one ol the
most approved remedies ever yet discovered is

innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid :
cures upon patients supposed to have been far advauc

As the Tills require in ordinary cases no confine

safety to all ages an I 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

Prepared by C. HERSTOSS, near Frederick-,

Kicuxoso. Va- July 15, 18J0.
THE public will be pleased to understand that 1 was
the original discoverer of Judkins' Ointment, and
•ole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817, !
until the expiration of the samei out, having connect-'
ed myself with Ur. Judkins in the commencement, I •
permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term
of the patent having expired on the 26tli June, 1 have (
made an improvement in the same, and taken oat a pa-11
tent thereon. N SHEPHERD !,
(XT' Imposition having been practised upon the nub- \
tic by a spurious article, bearing the name of •• Jud- 11
kins’ Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself of the <
authority granted to him iu 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 1 firat made and prepared this Ointment, and
bad, in several instances, experienced its Rood effects,
I sent it to several physicians, with instructions in what
casea 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 proceaa—-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 ita good effecti would be oblitera
ted Under theae consideration*, I aecured the origi
nal and certain remedv for those obstinate diseases,
tome of which have so long b&fflei the skill of me
dical science:
1st white swes'ings or every uejcripuun, i
2d Sore lew and ulcers of long standing,.
3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlythose j
hardened tumors in wurn-rn’s bveasts, which oftentimes i
terminate in ulceiated 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 to
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 bv 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
in dical 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 msny years stand
ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the
external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming
carious oi rotten, it will atop the progress of the.caries,
incret.se the quantity of discharge, remove the offen
sive smell, and ease the paina.

in every instance. I consider it the most decided and
efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cause
whatit 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 overby the most lislinguished physicians as in*
curable, and which th -y decided would, without ampu

Dun Sin—It is now upwards of twenty yean that I
have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami

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 tc 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 your own manufacture, by having your
WHITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions,
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 teat, 1 be
fan to suspect that “ all was not fair in medicine, as
well as in politics, and called at several of our apothe
:ariee for your pills, with your written signature. - I
ound many without this teat, but noue with it, until I
:ame to the Messrs Kcerls’, who aasured me they bad
hero direct from you. I procured a box, and on using

HTGEI A.NISM. I
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:— ^
Bbowr Universitt, Dec. 25, 1813.
To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the Hygeian Vege- i
table Univ^raal Medicines, for the State of Rhode
Island.
Sib—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men c, n
pels me, in compliance with your request, 'o giv a
brief statement of a cure, which, I think, ! recetv-d
from the Hygeian Medicines. I give publicity t" the
same the more cheerfully, because thereby, p -'haps,
l 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 tin er |
stood, I state, in connexion with the relation ut the
cure, some of the symptoms of the disease In 8» p
tember, 1832,1 caught a severe cold, which settled -n |
my lungs; I was confined to my room about one week, ,
with a fever, attended with considerable cough; my I
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, 1 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 he attribut
ed. I spat blood, occasionally, for four dais; 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 di.s
ease, and inspire the hope of a speedy recovery. But
rel'pse upon relapse, and each bringing me lower
than the preceding, seemed to bhffle 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
•lay. I continued to decline twomonths longer, when
I obtained the Hygeian Medicines I had now been
unable to sit up a whole duy, 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, fisc. Ike. Stic!) 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- Jn about ten
days, my appetite became good, and fo >d produced
no distress, sleep 9oon became sound and refreshing,
and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease
had nearly all disappeared
I took the medicine sixtv days regularly every night,
averaging about ten pills It a dose; the greatest num
ber taken at any one time was fifteen. After this, I
took about four doses a week, until 1 had taken about
thirteen hundred pill-*, when 1 found my9elf 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 studi-s in college, where I
have since remained without any recurrence of the
disease I lit If rto I have been convalescent; and it
my strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain I
liave less pains, and atn more free from temporary
sickness, than at any time since my earliest recollec
tion. Yours, with respect,
HORACE T. LOVE.

was a violent burning p tin, almost intolerable; so see

perhaps, over exertion with it. After using % few,

This valuable Medicine, being composed only of

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
live 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 perfottiling a cure, that was ever
offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is
produced by the least trouble to the pain-nts, 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 s’reogtli, and without the Icar of
catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way
diff erent from their accustoim d habits.
Those pills cure all cases, and cannot betaken 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.
