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 manv yean, 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 of
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St. Anthony's Fire,
Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Fool tnd Ob
stinate Ulcers. Sore Legs and Byes, 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
• red-tary 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 recentiy to ack
nowledge to the proprietor, that he considered it the
best medicine known, for the complaints for which it

BRITISH ANTISEPTIC DENTRIFICB.
Thit is an elegant and pleasant preparation in every
respect, and has, tor many yean past, given universal
satisfaction wherever it h*» been used.
The Antiseptic Dentrifice is exempt from acid and
other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently
eater the composition of tooth powders in common
use. and it whtens 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
the 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
and florid hue, and. by removing all offensive foreign
accumulations from the teeth, preserves the natural
aweetneai of the breath. Pric * 59 cents

Consumption!
Asthma! *V Catarrh!
IN that long train of diseases which seem to grow
with the growth of emitted society. Consumption
takes -he lead in its relentless inroads upon human
liA; yet ihi* 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
is the 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 lunga and hectic fever; shri
veiled eatremeties, and general emaciation of the
whole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks;
swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses
siooof the mental faculties, and while hope still whis.

mature death.

most approved remedies ever vet discovered is

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC
OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,)
Prepared bp C. HERSTONS, near Frederick•
town. Maryland.
Kiosxoio, 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, 1817,
until the expiration of the aamei but, having connect*!
myself with l)r. Judkins in the commencement, I
permitted the Ointment to bear hia name. The term
of the patent having expired on the 26th June, 1 have
made an improvement in the same, and taken out a pa
tent thereon. n. suf.pherd;
(CT Imposition having been practised upon the pub- i
lie bv a spurious article, bearing the name of “ Jud- \
kimr Ointment,” the proprietor avails himself efthe'
authority granted to Mm in his letters patent, now to ,
call the Ointment after his own name. Henceforth it I
will be known by the name of
SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT
WENT, (formerly Judkins'.)
When ( first made and prepared this Ointment, and
had, in several instances, experienced it* good enecta,
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 procesa—ne
vertheless, it might be progated in this adulterated si
tuation, aa it might in some degree resemble the origi
nal—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera
ted Under theae considerations, I secured the origi
nal and certain remedy for tl^ose obstinate diseases,
some of which have so long baflleJ the skih of me
dical science:
1st White swellings of every description!
2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing,
3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlytUose
hardened tumors in women's breasta, which oftentimes
terminate m 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 ofevery description, or in
whatever part situate;
7th Tetters of allkinds. In this complaint the pa
tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part
out of water;
8th Chilblains nr 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
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 pi ogress of the caries,
incret.3e the quantity of discharge, remove the offen
sive smell, and ease the pains.
It cures the worst Feloda and Whitlows, on applica
tion of forty-eight hours.

Dbab Sib—It is now upwards oi twenty years that I

most every description of diiease and believe they sa«
ved many along doctor’s bil* by t.’ieir early and timely

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
bad made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac
ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this
impression, 1 accidentally saw an advertisement of
youra in a New Vort 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
respset. Finding those I had without this teat, I be
gan to suspect that “ ail was not fair in medicine, as
well as in politics, and called at several of our apothe
raries for your pills, with your written signature. 1

that I cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this

To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu

only to examine the bill of directions covering each

"htgeianism. 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 mind!) of the mo«t skeptical:—
Browh UstriasiTr, Dec. 25, 1833. |
To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the Ifygeian Vege- j
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
i brief statement of a cure, which, I think, I received j
j from the Hygeiau Medicines. I give publicity to the ,
; same the more cheerfully, because thereby, perhaps, j
I may be useful to some of my fellow-men, who may
be afflicted with a similar disease.
My complaint was cslled Pulmonary Consumption, j
and that my real condition may be explicitly unJer-,
'stood, I state, in connexion with the relation of the j
: cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In St-p j
i tember, 1832, 1 caught a severe cold, which settled on {
my lungs; I was confined to my room about one week, !
j with a fever, attended with considerable cough; my
: cough soon abated, and apparently, I was regaining i
! mv health; when, after about three weeks, in the
course of the night, having returned the evening be*
j fore in usual health, I found myself bleeding it the
, lungs. I had not, to my knowledge, received any hurt
I or strain, to which the cause of this might be attribut
led. I spat blood, occasionally, for four days; it left
j me with some fever, pain in the breast, very little ap
1 petite, and withal, very weak
A few weeks determined that I was in a decline I
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
reKpse upon relapse, and each bringing me lower
than the preceding, seemed to baffle si! human skill,
and warn me of an approaching dissolution. Thus,
months after the first attack, a “ tubercle’* [small ul
cer] broke iit the lnngs, 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 tu one hundred per mi
nute, food produced great distress, appetite very
poor, pain in the breast directly opposite the heart,
attended with some rough, Stc. Ac. Such was my
i 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. In about ten
days, my appetite became good, and fo >d produced
no distress, sleep soon became sound and refreshing,
and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease
bad nearly all disappeared.
I 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 fifteen After this, 1
took about four doses a week, until I bad t»ken about
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, i
was able to resume my studi. s in college, where I
have since remained without any recurrence of the
disease Hitherto I have been convalescent; and it
my strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain i
nave less pains, and am more free from temporary i
sickness, than at any time since my earliest recullec- |
tion. Yours, with respect.

I was a violent burning pain, almost intolerable; so see
