valuable preparation, tbe merits of which have
been tested by time, and are sustained by undoubted
testimony
• DR. RELFE’S
o? 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 Dropa have been successfully admin
istered for many years, as a thorough remedy for that
^t|| known and prevalent class of inveterate diseases
which originate from a vitiated habit ot body* or an he*
■editary 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, Foul 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 poison, 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
caaeMBf violent eruptions after tbe measles—red
biotcShs—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 el*
ficacy of this article, had the candor recently to »ck
nowledge to tbe proprietor, that he considered it the
best medicine known, for tbe complaints for which it
i» intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at
the head of the whole c'ass of such remedies.

THOSE who would retain or restore these desirable

sition can be obtained superior tt _fr,_
BRITISH ANTISEPTIC DENTRIFICE.
This is an elegant and pleasant preparation in every
respect, and has, for many year* past, given universal
satisfaction wherever it has been used.
The Antiseptic Dentrihce is exempt from acid and
other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently
enter the composition of tooth powder* in common
use, and it wh,tens the enamel of the teeth without
doing it the least injury. The regular use ot this ad
mired powder, by purifying the mouth and preventing
the accumulation of tartar, operates at the best pre
fentive of the Tooth Ache- The Dentrince 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
and florid hue, and, by removing all offensive foreign
accumulations from tha teeth, preserves the natural
sweetness of the breath. Pric--- 50 cents

Consumption!

IN that long train of diseases which seem to grow
with the growth of civilised society, Consumption

life, yet -his dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its
Ckril^rslices It is only when neglected that it ar

sagacity of professional science. An obstinate cough
isthe 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 and
bloody spittle* ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri
veiled extremeties, and general emiciation of the
whole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks;
swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses
sionof tbe mental faculties, and while hope still whis
pen her flattering tale—cold extremities, and a pre
mature death.

safety to all ages and classes of people. Unexampled !
success hat hitherto attended their administration in a

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC
OINTMENT, (formerly Jutlkius’,)
Prepared by C. HERSTONS, near Frederick
town, Maryland.
Rrcncoao. V*. July 15, 1830.
THE public vrill 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 tame; 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 26tU June, I have !
made an improvement in the same, and taken oat a pa-1
tent thereon. N. SHEPHERD. I
(17 Imposition having been practised upon the nub ‘
lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of " jud- j
kins* Ointment," the proprietor avails himself ot the ;
authority printed to him in hia letter* patent, now to
call the Ointment after bis 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 Rood 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
bands, 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,
I some of which have so long baffled the skill oftne
' dical science: . .
1st White swellings of every description*
I 2d Sore legs and ulcers oflong standing,
j 3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlytnose
| hardenedturaora in women's breasts, which oftentimes
terminate in ulceiated cancers*
4th Felons; or what some people know by the name
1 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 allkin Is. In this complaint the pa
tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part
; outof water;
8th Chilblains or nartaaffected by frost.
It is also one of the best remedies lor burns snd
scalds. It eases I he pain and draws the fire out in a
short time. .... ,
1 For inflamed women's breasts and glandular awcl
lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to the
f 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 no!
lay the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold.
This Oimment has cured sores of many years stand
ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the
external aore, 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
i sive smell, and ease the pains
It cures the worst Feiuds and Whitlows, on applies
i tion of forty-eight hours

Deab Sib—It is now upwards of twenty year* that I
have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami
ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al
i most every description of disease, and believe they sa»
| ved many* a long doctor’s bill by their early and timely

| ir their oper .tion and effects until b few months past;
and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve-<
ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that you I
bad made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac- j
ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this
' impression, 1 accidentally aaw an advertisement of
| yours in a New York newspaper, designating apurious
imitations from your own manufacture, by having vour
WRITTEN 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 I had without this test, I be
gan to suspect that “ all was not fair in medicine, as
well as ia politics, tnd 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. I procured a box, and on using
them, found the same effects from them i bad always
experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my
le* fin sspotseion of a medicine f so highly prize, that |
that I cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you thi*
information.
QTo avoid the imposition of coanterfeits 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 bandwriting, im
mediately under my printed name, they are genuine,
and prepared by me; but if oxit the printed name is
affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

HYQBIANISM.
THE following testimonials of the superior efficacy
of the HYGE1AN MEDICINES in the cure of
our diseases, speak in a language which must carry
conviction to the mind* of the most skeptical:— ^
Baowir Uxivibsitt, Dec. 25, 1833.
To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the Hygeian Vege
table Universal Medicines, for the State of Rhode
Island.
Si*—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com
pels me, in compliance with your request, to give a
j brief statement of a cure, which, I think, I received
I from the Hygeian Medicines. I give publicity to the
I same the more cheerfully; because thereby, perhaps,
i I may be useful to some of my fellow-men, who may
be afHicted with a similar disease,
i My complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption,
• and that my real condition may be explicitly under
i stood, I state, in connexion with the relation of the
; cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep
tember, 1812,1 caught a severe colJ, which settled on
! my lungs; ! 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 ret jrned the evening be
fore in usual health, l 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 few weeks determined that I was in a decline 1
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
relapse upon relap.-c, 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” [-mail ul
cer] broke in the Inngs, after which I spat blood, one
day. I 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
i half. My feet were cold and lifele-?, sleep unsound,
j cold nightsweats constant, tongue furred, pulse in the
afternoon from seventy-five to one hundred per mi
nute, food produced great distress, apnetite very
poor, pain in the breast directly opposite the heart,
attended with some cough, Sic. &c. Such waa my
condition, when 1 first became acquainted with the
Hygeian Medicines I commenced taking the medi
cines, four pills at a dose, anJ 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.
1 took the medicine sixtydays regularly every night,
averaging about ten pills at a dose; the greatest num
ber taken at any one time waa fifteen. After this, I
took about four <loaes a week, until I had taken about
thirteen hundred pills, when I found myself restored
to health. After I commenced the Hygrian, I took
no other medicine. One year from the first attack, I
wss able to resume my studies in college, where I
have since remained without any recurrence of the
disease Hitherto 1 have been convalescent; and if
in> 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
j lion. Yours, with respect,
HORACE T. LOVE.

Dear Sir—I wish to state that my sister, after •’cvere
suffering, and employing a medical man three years,
| was relieved by the use of the Universal Medicines.
I Her complaint wus a violent pain and anreness in her
side; indeed, to use her own expression, her os on
one bide had turned in, actually deformed. The pain
was 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 and 2, alternately, about eight pit's for
a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in
I their use, she is now restore.1 to health; and I have
: no objection to this case being made public for the
' Benefit of others; and am, dear air, yours truly,

Injustice to Ur. M„ her medical adviser, when he
! heard her improvement in health, he recommended
■ perseverence in the use of be medicines.
This valuable Medicine, being composed only of
vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted,
on oath, at containing not one particle of mercurial,
mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un
! congenial to the nature of man, and therefore destruc
I tive to the human frame,) ia found to be perfectly
harmless to the most tender nge or weakest frame, un
der every stage of human suffering; the most pLaaant
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
ofTered 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
j being called a few extra times to the purposes of eva
! euation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or
! exhaustion of bodily sirengtb, and without the le&r of
; CRicriing cuiu, ur lucimun iu ureas or uici, in sny way
different from their accustomt d 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
they clear the body of its bad humours, and invariably
procure sound sleep- They are the safest and most
