H7GEIANI3M.
THE following testimonials of the superior efficacy
of the HYGKIAN MEDICINES in the cure of
our diseases, apeak in a language which must carry
conviction to the minds of the most skeptical:—
Raowir Usiyirsitt, Dec. 25, 1833.
To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the Hvgeian Vege
table Universal Medicines, for the State of Rhode
Island.
Sm—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. I give publicity to the
same the more cheerfully, because thereby, perhaps,
1 may be useful to some of my fellow-incn, who may
be afflicted with a similar disease.
My complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption,
and that my real condition may he explicitly unler
stool, l state, in connexion with the relation of the
| cure, some of the symptoms of the disease, to Sep
| tember, 1832, 1 caught a severe coU, which settled on
| my lung«; I wasconhned to my room about one week,
' with a fever, atten led with c«nsi Vrahle cough; my
. cough soon abated, and apparently, I was regaining
I my health; when, after about three weeks, in the
; course ul the night, having returned the evening be
i fore in usual health. I found myself bleed ng at the
| lungs. I bad not, to my knowledge, received any hurt
l or strain, lo which the cause of this might he attribut
ed. I spat blood, occasionally, for four days; it left
me with some fever, pain in the breast, very little »p
petite, ami witnai, very wean
A few w eeks determined that l was in a decline I
1 received the attention of the most skilful Physicians,
1 who often seemed tochek the progress of the dis
ease, and inspire the hope of a speedy recovery. Hut
rei pse upon relapse, 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” [small ul
cer] broke iti the lungs, after which I spat blood, one
day. I continued to decline two months longer, when
I obtained the llygeian Medicines I had now been
unable to sit up a whole day, f>>r 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 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, fcc. kc. Such was my
condition, when I first became acquainted with the
llygeian 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
had 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, I
took about four doses a week, until 1 had taken about
thirteen hundred pills, when I found myself restored
to health. After I commenced the llyg. ian, 1 took
no other medicine. One year from the first attack, 1
was able to resume mv 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
have less pains, and am more free from temporary
sickness, than at any time since my earliest recollec
tion. Yours, with respect,
HOUACE T. LOVE.
Dr H. SiitPHCARD Moat.
Dear Sir—1 wish to state that my sister, after severe
suffering, and employing a medical man three years,
was relieved by the use of the Universal Medicines.
Her complaint was a violent pain and soreness in her
side; indeed, to use her own expression, her is on
one side had turned in, actually deformed. The pain
waa a violent burning pain, almost intolerable; so see
vere, that she could not ait up for upwards of three
years. It was occasioned by overdacing hers e If, and
perhaps, over exertion with it. After using a few,
doses of No, 1 and ?, alternately, about eight pills for
a dose, the psin decreased, and, by perseverance in
their use, she is now restored to health; and 1 have
no objection to this case being made public for the
benefit of others; and am, dear sir, yours truly,
H. DYEU.
Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb. 8, 1834
In justice to Dr. M„ her medical adviser, when he
heard her improvement in health, he recommended
pcrseverencc in the use of he medicines.
This valuable Medicine, being composed only of
vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted,
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 destruc
live to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly
harmless to the most tender Hge 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 performing a cure* that was ever
offered 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
being called a few extra times to the purposes of eva
cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or
exhaustion of bodily s'rength, and without the fear of
catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way
different from their accustomc d habits.
These pills cure all cases, and cannot he taken to
excess Experience, which is the touchstone of all
human knowledge, has long borne testimony to the
fact; and extensive use of them ha9 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, beca ise
they deal the body of its bad humours, anil invariably
procure sound sleep. They are the safest and most
efficacious meuicine to lake to sea; preventing scurvy,
costiveness, <kc.
The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as
sistance to patients, and facilitate the evacuation of
bad humours; they soften, cleanse, and detach the
acrimonious phlegm; are cooling, and allay the thirst.
One, two, or three powders msv be taken throughout
the day, mixed in half a wine glass of water.
The genuine Medicines can be had of

Consumption!
Asthma! X Catarrh!
[N that long train of diseases which seem to grow
with the growth of civilized society, Consumption
takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human
life; yet 'his 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 profeasional 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 breas'j greenish and
bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri
veiled extremi ties, and general emaciation of the
whole bodv; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks;
swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses
sion of the mental faculties, and while hope still whis
pers her flattering tale—told exticmitics, and a pre
mature death.
For the various stages of this complaint, one of the
most approved remedies ever vet discovered is

thority, viz.—
lhi/riMotiK. August, 1828.
Doctor S. H. 1*. Lxx, New London, Conn.
Ihait Sin—It is now upwards of twenty )ears that l
have used your New London Udi ius l’ills in my fami
ly, and always found them an ciRcient purgative in al
most every description of disease, and believe they »»•
ved many a long doctor’s hill by their early and time!)
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 therin, I began to conclude that you
had made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac
ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under tins
impression, I accidentally saw an advertisement of
yours in a New York newspaper, designating spurious
imitations from your own manufacture, by having your
WRITTEN SIGNA TURE to each hill of directions,
an d that in no instance were the imitations signed with
pen anJ ink, although a perfect copy in every other
respect. Finding those I had without this test, | be
gan to suspect that “ ail was not fair in medicine, as
well as in politics, and called at several of our apothe
caries for your pills, with your written signature. I
found miny without this test, but none with it, until I
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 had always
experienced, and am so much rejoiced on finding my
sel fin ssposseion of a medicine I so highly prize, that
that I cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this
information.
0C3* To avoid the imposition of counterfeits 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 handwriting, im
mediately under my printed name, they are genuine,
and prepared by me; but if oslt the printed name is
affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

ed myself with Dr. Judkins in the commencement, |
I permitted the Ointment to bear his name. The term

SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC DINT*
MENT, (formerly Judkins'.)
When I first made and prepared this Ointment, am]
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 tint the Mint,
ment would be a valuable public benefit. I c mcliuled
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, l secured the origi
nal and certain remedv fur those obstinate diseases,
some of which have so long baffle J the skill oI me
dical science:
1st White swellings of every description;
2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing,
3d Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularly? Iiote
hardened tumors in women’s breasts, which oftentimes
j terminate in ulceiated cancers;
| 4th Felons; or whut some people know by the name
I of catarrhs, of every description.
5th Itheumatic pains ot the joints;
6th Sprains and bruises ol every description,or in
whatever part situate;
7th Tetters of all kin Is. In this complaint the pa
tient, iti applying the ointment, must keep the part
out of water;
8th Chilblains or partsaffected by frost.
It is also one of the best remedies for burns ami
scalds. It eases the pain and draws the fire out in s
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
plication?, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of
any preparation of the mineral,) because it does not
lay the patient liab'e to injury from exposure to cold.
This Ointment has cured sores of many years stand
ing. Where it is impossible or impmdent to heal the
exter-al sore, in consequence of the bones becoming
carious oi rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries,
increi.se the quantity of discharge, remove the offen
sive *mell, and ease the pains.
It cures the worst Pelods and Whitlows, on applica
tion of forty-eight hours.

Sir — My son having been afflicted for five yean
with white swelling, and having applied every reme
dy recommended by the most eminent physicians
vithin my reach without success, I at length procured
one jug of Dr Judkins' Patent Specific Ointment, and
m ide the application according to the directions ac
companying the Ointment, and Mate, for the benefit
of the afflicted, that before one jug was used, a perfect
cure was effected. Mv aon has enjoyed good health
ever smee. I have no doubt tlut to the Ointment alone
he is indebted; for nothing else was used tor more
thin nine, months before the application of the Oiiit
ment. Uespeclfully, Johx (Jocks
Dr. Wm. (Junton, Washington City.

Mr. C Herstons — I deem it proper to state, fur the
benefit of the public, that, several years since, two of
my chil Iren were affected with scald h--a I of an inve
terate character. My family physician, Dr John T
Wilson, of Leesburg, Va who was very skilful and ju
dicious in his practice, in vain endeavored by every
means to effect a cure- At length Judkins’ ointment
was applied, and the affection w..s permanently reliev
ed. Very respectfully, y uur obedient servant,

Sin—It Ins been my wish, fora considerable tiro?,
to communicite to you the good effect with wl.icli l
have used the Oin’ment invented hy a Mr. Judkins,
and which 1 now understand is nude and sold ny I
agents appointed bv yourself, ( have applied thi*
Ointment during the last three years to every specie*
of tumor and wound, without failure to produce a cure
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 over by the most distinguished physicians as m*
curable, and which th :y decided would, without ampu*
tation, prove tatalto the patient, was, und< r my imme
diate notice, effected by the use of Ju lkins’ Ointment,
and the patient is in fine health Hi* limb effected by
the tumor being restored to a perfect state of »ound«
ness. A Iso that the leg of an aged man which had been
wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated sur
face from the knee to the foot, and which, for more
i than two years, had been considered incurable, wasef
j fectually cured by the application of Judkins’ Omt*
! ment. I mention these two cases, wliichfellundermy
immediate notice and management, as a Uecided **'*

and ofulcers: I have expe.ienr.ed, as decidedly . '*»c
