IS respectfully solicited by the subscriber, to an in
valuable preparation, the merits of which have
been tested by time, and are sustained by undoubted
testimony
DR. RELFE’S
^07* 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 generally
appear under the various and distressing shapes of
Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St Anthony’s Fire,
Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Fool and 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 mereury 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
cues 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 witness'd theef
ficaev of this article, had the candor recently to ack
now ledge 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
the head of the whole c’ass of such remedies.

BRITISH ANTISEPTIC DENTRIFICE.
This is an elegant and pleasant preparation in every
respect, and has, for many years pa^t, given universal
satisfaction wherever it has been used
The Antiieptic Dentrifice is exempt from acid and
other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently
eater the composition of tooth powders in common
use. and it whdena the enamel of the teeth without
doing it the least injury. The regular use of tins ad
mired powder, by purifying the mouth and preventing
the accumulation of tartar, operates as the be*t pre
ventive of the Tooth Ache- The Dentrifice remove*
discolorations, and restores the beautiful native white
ness of the ensmel. As its application braces and
strengthens ihe Gums, it secures to them their healthy
and florid hue, and, bv removing all offensive foreign
accumulations from the teeth, preserves the natural
sweetness of the breath. Pric-* 50 cents

Consumption!
Atlliuin! ,V Catarrh!
IN that long train of diseases which seem to pro#
with the growth of civilized society, Consumption
takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human
life; yet -his dreaaful disorder is easily overcome in its
earlier stages. It is only when neglected that it ar
rives at the terrific maturity which *o often baffles the
aagacitv of professional science- An obstinate cough
is the custom *ry 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 estremeties, and general emaciation of the
while body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks;
swollen f. ct and legs and at Iasi, in the full posses
aionoftbe mental faculties, and while hope still wLis
pers h-ir flattering tale—rold extremities, and a pre
mature death
For the vaiious stages of this complaint, one of the
most approved remedies ever yet discovered is
DR. RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS.
Tt'is exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and
innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid
cures upon patients supposed to have been far advanc
eJ'nt confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit
ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter
mination of the disorder.
As the Pills require in ordinary cases no confine
ment, they may be administered with confidence and
safety to all ages and classes of people. Unexampled
success has hitherto attended their administration in a
great variety uf cases; and the proprietor can refer to
a multitude, which testify to their efficacy in reviving
the emaciated victim from the bed of disease, and re
storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and
activity.

PATENT RIGHT SECURED.
[BEWARE OF IMPOSITION.
I SHEPHERD’S patent specific
OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,)
Prepared by C. HERSTONS, near Frederick•
town, Maryland.
Kicbmohd. Vi- July 15, 1830.
THE public will be pleased to understand that I wa»
the original discoverer of Judkins' Ointment, and
sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817,
until the expiration of the same; 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 26th June, 1 have j
made an improvement in the same, and taken oat a pa* !
tent thereon. N. SHEPIIEKD
Imposition having been practised upon the pub
lie by a spurious article, bearing the name of " Jud* j
kins’ Ointment," the proprietor avails himself of tba 1
authority granted to him in his letter* patent, now to
e-til the Ointment after hit own name. Henceforth it
will be known by the name of
SHEPHERD'S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT
M ENT, (formerly Judkins'.)
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 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 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,
some of which have so long baffled the skill of me
dical science: . .
1st White swellings of every description!
2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing,
3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlythose
hardened tumors in women’s breast*, which oftentimes
terminate in ulcetated cancers?
4th Felons? or what some people know by the name
of catarrhs, of every description.
5th Rheumatic pains oftlie 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
outof 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 tire out in a
short time.
For inflamed women’s breasts and glandular swel
lings, it is superior to any medicine yet known to tltc
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.
I This Ointment lias cured sores of many years stand
ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the
external sore, in consequence of the hones becoming
carious oi rotten, it will atop the progress of the caries,
increi se the quantity of discharge, remove the offen
sive smell, and ease the pains.
It cures the worst l'clods and Whitlows, on applica
tion of forty-eight hour*

Dm Sib—It is now upward* of twenty years that !
have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami
ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al
most everv description of disease, and believe they aa«
ved many' a long doctor’s bill by their early and timely
use. 1 never found their accustomed certainty (ovary
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
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 ?ork newspaper, designating spurious
imitations from your own manufacture, by having your
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
respect- Finding those I lutd without this teat, I be
gan to suspect that “ ail was not fair in meoicine, as
well as ia politics, and called at several of our apothe
caries for your pills, with your written signature. I
found many without this teat, but none with it, until I
came to the Messrs. Keerla’. who assured me they had
them direct from you. I procured a box, and on using
them, found the same effects from them 1 had always
experienced, and am ao much rejoiced oa finding my
«cl fin siposaciun of • meiicine l so highly prize. that .
that I cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this j
information.
iiy To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu

only to examine the bill of directions covering each
box, and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im

HTGEX ANISM.
THF, following testimonials of the superior efficacy
of the HYGEIAN MEDICINES in the cure of
our diseases, speak in s language which mu<t carry
conviction to the minds of the most skeptical:—
Brown Uhivirsitt, Dec. 25, 1833.
To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the Htgeian Vege
table Universal Medicines, for the Slate of lthode
Island.
Six—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com
! pels me, in compliance with your requeat, to give a
j brief statement of a cure, which, I think, I received
| from the llygeian 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
j be afflicted with a similar disease.
My complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption,
and that my real condition may be explicitly un ier
! 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; I was confined to my room about one week,
i with a fever, attended with considerable cough; my
cough soon abated, and apparently, I was regaining
1 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
i lungs. I had not, to my knowledge, received any hurt
j 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
i 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. Rut
I rel-p.»e upon relapse, and each bringing me lower
' than the preceding, seemed to bailie all human skill,
and warn me of an approaching dissolution. Thus,
months after the first sttack, a " tubercle” [small ul
cer] broke in the Inngs, after which I spat blood, one
day. I continued to decline twomunlhs longer, when
1 obtained the llygeian Medicines I had now been
unable to ait up a whole dsy, »<>r tour months and a
half. Uv 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, J*.c. Sic. Such was my
' condition, when I first became acquainted with the
! llvgcian Medicines I commenced taking lire medi
I cinrs, four pills at a do^e, an I increased the dose dai
ly, one up to the number of twche. In about ten
days, my appetite became good, and food produced
no distress, sleep soon becunc 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 night,
averaging about ten pills at a dore; the greatest num
ber taken at any one time was fifteen. After this, I
took about four doses a week, until I had taken about
thirteen hundred pills, when 1 found mjself restored
to health. After I commenced the I1)g>-isn, 1 took
j no other medicine. One year from the fir»t attack, t
j was able to resume my studi.-s in college, where I
j have since remained without any recurrence of the
I disease Hitherto 1 have been convalescent; and it
I my strength is not yet fully returned, I am certtin I
j have less pains, and am more free from temporary
| sickness, than at any time since isiy earliest recollec
tion. Yours, with respect,

Dear Sir—1 wish to state that rnv sister, after revere
' suffering, and employing a medical man three years,

Her complaint was a violent pain and soreness in her
side; indeed, to use her own expression, her .»s on
I one side had turned in, actuilly deformed- The pain
was a violent burning p.iin, almost intolerable; so see
' vere. that she could not sit up for upwards of three
i years. It was occasioned by over-lacing hers <* If, and
pchaps, over exertion with it. tflei using a few,
doses of No 1 and 2, alternately, about eight pills for
i a dose, the psin decreased, and, by perseverance in
their use, she is now reitoreJ to health; and 1 have
