valuable preparation, the merits of which have
been tested by time, and are sustained by undoubted
testimony
DR. RRLFE’S
C7* Botanical Drops!
are every year increasing th ir long established repu*
tation. Thev have outlived many rival ©reparations,
and are continually gaining upon public confidence.
The Botanical Drops have been successfully admin
istered for min* 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, Foul and Ob
stinate Ulcer*. Sore Legs and Eyes, Scald Head, and
Venereal ramt.
In the last mentioned condition of the system, the
Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk
i»g poison, where mercury has totally failed, and thus
prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he
reditary disease on his offspring.
Dr. kelfe’s Botanical Drops are successfully used in
cases of violent eruptions after the measles—red j
hlotchea—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 the ef
ficacy of this article, had the candor recently to ack
nowledge 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 cJass of such remedies.

BRITISH ANTISEPTIC DENTRIFICL.
This is an elegant and pleasant preparation in every
respect, and bas, for many ve*r* pa'.t, given universal
satisfaction wherever it has been used
The Antiseptic Dentrifice is exempt from acid anJ
other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently
enter the composition of tooth powder* m common
use, and it wh tens 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
anJ florid hue, and, by removing all offensive foreign
accumulations from the teeth, preserves the natural
sweetness of the breath. Price 50 cents

Consumption!
Asthma! *V Catarrh!
IN that long train of diseases which stem to grow
with the growth of civilized society, Consumption
tikes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human
hit; yet his dreadful disorder is eas !> overcome in its
eariier stages. It is oniy when neglected thnt it ar
rives at the terrific maturity which so often h.«fflc9 the
sagacity of professional science. An obstinate cough
is the customary forerunner of the pulmonary con
sumption. Improper neglect in the timely admmis
tration of simple and salutary remedies, is»uie 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 extremetics, and general emaciation of the
whole body; prostration of strength; Hushed cheeks;
swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full poss s
sionof the mental faculties. anJ while hope still whis
per* her flattering tale—cold extremities, and a pre
mature death.
For the various stage* of this complaint, one ol the
most approved remedies ever yet discovered is
DR. RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS.
This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and
innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid
cures upon patients supposed to have been far advanc
edit a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit
ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter
mination of' he disorder.
As the Fills 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 of 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 blessiugs of accustomed health and
activity.

fie- they restore a free circula ion, reform the irregular

Married ladies will find the pills equally useful, ex

taken* neither must they be taken by persons of hec
tic or consumptive habits. They may be used success
fully by either men or women in all Hypochondriac,

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC
OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,)
Prepared by C. HERSTONS, near Frederick
town. Maryland.
Uichmobu, Va- July 15, 18>0.
I^HE public will be pleased to understand that I was
. the original discoverer of Judkins’Ointment, and
sole proprietor of the patent from September, 1817,
until the expiration of the same; 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 26ln June, 1 have
made an improvement in the aame, and taken oat a pa
tent thereon. - N. SHEPHERD.
(O 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 t. him in hi* letter* patent, now to
call the Ointment alter his own name. Henceforth it
will be known by the name of
SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC OINT
M ENT, (formerly Judkins1.)
When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and
had, in several instances, experienced its good ettects,
I sent it to several physicians, with instruction* in w ia
cases to apply it, who were of opinion that t e in
ment would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded
that the Ointment would occasionally Ml into many
hand*. *oine of whom would probably undertake to
make it. and knowing the difficulty of the proces.-ne
vertheless. it might be progated in tin# sdulteraied si
tuation, as it might in some degree resemb e t e ougi
I nal—and in this way its good effects would be oblitera
ted Under these considerations, I secured the origi
nal and certain remedv 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 stan ding,
3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularlytnose
hardened tumors in women’s breasts, winch oftentimes
terminate in ulceiated cancers; ...
4th Felons; or what some people know by the name
of catarrhs, of every description.
5th Rheumatic pains of the joints; .
6th Sprains ami bruises of every 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 or parts affected bv trout.
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 ureasts ari l glandular swel
lui/s, it is superior to any medicine vet known to the
medical faculty. It is much safer than mercurial ap
plication.*, (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
! in», Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the
exten-ai sore, in consequence of the bones becoming
carious oi rotten, it will stop the ptogressof the caries,
increase the quantity of discharge, remove the offen
sive smell, and ease the pains
It cures the worst Felods and Whitlows, on applica
tion of forty-eight hours.

Doctor S. II. 1’. Las, New London, Conn.
Dzab Sib—It is now upwards of twenty years that I
have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami
ly, and alwaysfound them an efficient purgative in al
most everv 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
in their operation and effects until a few months past;
and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve- 1
ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that you I
bad made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac- !
ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this j
impression, I accidentally saw an advertisement of
yours in a New York newspaper, designating spurious
imitations from your own manufacture, by having your
WHITTEN SIGNATURES each bill of directions,
and that in no instance were the imitations signed with
pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other
respact. Finding those I had without this test, 1 be
gan to suspect that “ all was not fair in medicine, as
well as is politics, and 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 oox. and on using
them, found the same effects from them I had always
eaperienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my
sel fin asposseion of a medicine I so highly prize, that
that I cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this j
information.
tfj1 To avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu
rious imitation), as related above, the purchaser has
only to examine the bill of directions cvcring each
box, and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im
mediately under my printed name, they are genuine,
and prepared by me; but if orlx the printed name is
affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

HYGEIANI3IS.
TUB following testimonials of the superior efficacy
of the HYGBfAN MBDIUINK8 in the cure of
our diseases, speak in a language which must carry
conviction to the minds of the most skeptical:
Brow* Usivshsitt, Dec. 25, 1811
To Mr. Samuel Young. Agent for the Ilvgeian Vege
table Universal Medicines, for the State of Rhode
Island.
Sie—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com
pels me. in compliance with your request, to give a
brief statement of a cure, which, I think, I received
from the Hygeian Medicines. 1 give publicity to the
same the more cheerfully, because thereby, perhaps,
I may be useful to some of my fellow-mcn, who may
be afflicted with a similar disease.
Uv complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption,
and that my real condition maybe explicitly under
stood, I state, in connexion with the relation of the
cure, some of the symptoms of the -disease. In Sep
tember, 1832,1 caught a severe cold, which aettled 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 whs regaining
| my health; when, after about three weeks, in the
course of the night, having returned the evening be
, f-,re in ostial health. 1 found myself ble-'dmg at the
, lungs. 1 bad not. to my knowledge, received any hurt
! or strain, to which the cause of this might be attribut
! ed. 1 spat blood, occasionally, for four days; it left
me with acme fever, pain in the breast, very little ap
petite, and withal, very weak
I A few weeks determined that I was in a decline I
received the attention of the most skilful Physicians,
j who often seemed to check the progress of the di«
ease, and inspire the hope of a speedy recovery But
j rel'pse upon relapse, and each bringing me lower
j than the preceding, seemed to bsffle 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, nnc
1 day. I continued to decline twomon'-hs longer, when
I obtained the Hygeian Medicines. I had now been
| unable to sit up a whole dsy, for four months and a
l half. My 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, &c. he. Such was my
| condition, when I first became acquainted with the
, Hygeian Medicines I commenced taking the medi
cines, four pills at a do^e, and increased the dose dai
I ty, one up to the number of twelve. In about ten
'days, my appetite became good, and food produced
1 no distress, sleep soon became sound and refreshing,
and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease
i had nearly all disappeared
I took the me licine sixty days regularly every night,
| averaging about ten pills at a dose; the greatest num
ber taken at any one time was fifteen. Af’erthis, 1
| took about four doses a week, until I had taken about
thirteen hundred pill-*, when I found myself restored
I to health. After I commenced the llyg. ian, I took
1 no other medicine. One year from the first attack. I
was able to resume my atudi s in college, where I
: have since remained without any recurrence of the
j disease Hitherto 1 have been convalescent; and if
i iny strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain I
| have less pains, and am more free from temporary
: sickness, than a' any time since my earliest recollec
tion. Vours, with respect,

Dear Sir—I wish to state that my sister, after severe
suffering, an:l employing a medical man three ycirs,
was relieved by the use of th- Universal Medicines.
Her complaint was a violent pain and soreness in her
side; indeed, to use her own expression, her »s on
one side 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 hors e If, and
perhaps, over exertion with it. After using a few,
doses_pfNo. 1 un.i 2, alternately, about eight pit's for
a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in
their use, she is now restored to health; and I have
no objection to this Cj>e being made public for the

This valuable Medicine, being composed only of
vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted,
on osth, as containing not me particle of mercurial,
mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un
congenial to the nature o( man, and therefore dcstruc
tive to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly
harm'ess to the most ten ter age or weakest frame, un
der every stage of human suffering; the most pi asant
and benign in it- operation, and at the ssme time the
most searching out the root of every complaint, how
ever deep, and of perfoimingu cure, that was ever |
offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is
produced by the least trouble to the paMt-nla, by
merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and
being called n few extra times to the purposes of eva
cuation, with the least possible sensation uf pain, or
exhaustion of bodily rrength, and without tfu tear of
cutching cold, orattention to dress or diet, in any way
different from their accustomed habits.
