HYGEIANISM.
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 minds of the most skeptical:—
Rrowit Univkrsity, Dec. 25, 1833.
To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the Hygeian Vege
table Universal Medicines, for the State of Rhode
Island.
Sib—Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com
pels me, in compliance with your request, to give a
brief statement of r cure, which, I think, 1 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-men, who may
be afflicted with a similar disease.
My complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption,
and that my real condition maybe explicitly unler
stool, I state, in connexion with the relation of the
cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep
tember, 18.32,1 caught a severe cold, which settled 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 was regaining
I 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 bleedoig at the
I lungs. I had not, to my knowledge, received any hurt
| or strain, to which the cause of this might he attribut
i ed. I spat blood, occasionally, for four da>s; it left
| me with some fever, pain in the breast, very little ap
nctite. and withal, very weak
A few week* determined that I was in a decline I
received the attention of the most .skilful Physicians,
who often seemed to clie:k the progress of tha dis
ease, and inspire the hope of a speedy recovery. Hut
rel*pse upon relapse, and each bringing me lower
I than the preceding, seemed to baffle all human skill,
and warn me of an approacliHig dissolution. Thus,
months after the first attack, a " tubercle” [small ul
cer] broke in the lnngs, after which I spat blood, one
day. I continued to decline tivo months longer, when
f obtained the ilygeian Medicines I had now been
unable to sit up a whole day, for four months and a
half. My feet were cold and lifele-s 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, Sic. !<c. Such whs my
condition, when I first became acquainted with the
Ilygeian 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
(lays, 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 l had taken about
thirteen hundred pill*, when 1 found myself restored
to health. After I commenced the Hyg<-ian, 1 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 1 have begn convalescent; and il
my strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain I
have less pains, and am more tree from temporary
sickness, than at any time since my earliest recollec
tion. Yours, with respect,
HORACE T. LOVE.
Dr H. Shimcard Moat.
Dear Sir—I wish to state that my sister, after severe
suffering, and employing a medical man three years,
waa relieved by the use of the Universal Medicines
Her complaint was a violent pain and soreness in hei
side; indeed, to use her own expression, her *a on
one side had turned in, actually deformed. The pair
was a violent burning p/in, almost intolerable; so see
vere, that she could not ait up for upwards of thfee
years. It was occasioned by over-lacing hcra o If, and
perhaps, overexertion with it. After using a few,
doses of No, 1 and 2, alternately, about eight pills fot
a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in
their use, she is now restored to health; and I liavt
no objection to this ca-e being made public for the
benefit of others; and am, dear sir, yours truly,
II. DYER.
Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb. 8, 1884
Injustice to l)r. M,, her medical adviser, when he
heard her improvement in health, he recommended
perseverence in the use of he medicines.
This valuable Medicine, being composed only ol
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 ol man, and therefore deatiuc
live to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly
harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un
der every stage of human suffering; the most pl asant
and benign in it operation, and at the same time the
most searching out llie root of every complaint, how
ever deep, and of perfotming 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 r 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 tear of
catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way
different from their accustomi 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 lias 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 clear the body of its ba 1 humours, and invariably
procure sound sleep. They ure the safest and most
efficacious menicine to take to sea; preventing scurvy,
costiveness, &c,
The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as
sistance to patients, and facilitate Hie evacuation of
bad humours; they soften, cleanse, and detach the
acrimonious phlegm; are cooling, and allay the thirst.
One, two, or three powders may be taken throughout
the day, mixed in half a wine glass of water.

Consumption!
Asthma! Catarrh!
IN that long train of diseases which seem to grov
with the growth of civilized society, Consumptioi
takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon httmai
life; yet this dreadful disorder is easily overcome in it
earlier stages. It is only when neglected that it ar
rives at the terrific maturity which so often baffles thi
sagacity of professional science. An obstinate cougl
is the customary forerunner of the pulmonary con
sumption Improper neglect in the timely adininis
trillion of simple and salutary remedies, is sure to hi
reproved by a dreadful succession of consumptivi
symptoms—oppression of the breast; greenish an*
bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri
veiled extremeties, and general emaciation of tin
whole body; prostration of s'rcnglh; flushed cheeks
swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses
sionof the mental faculties, and while hope still whis
pers her flattering tale—cold extremities, and a pre
mature death.
For the various stages of thin complaint, one of the
most approved remedies ever yet discovered is
UR. RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS.
This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe ami
innocent preparation, has effected thorough ami rapid
cures upon paiients supposed to have been far advanc

inination of * lie disorder.
As the Tills require in ordinary cases no confine
meut, they may be administered with confidence ami
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 iroin the bed ol disease, and re
storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and
activity.

JUST received, a fresh supply of tlie above useful
Medicine, direct from Dr. Leo’* Dispensary
12th mo30tli, 183 > W. bl'AULKR.
Tlie following extract is published by Dr. Lee's au
thority, viz.—
Raltim'ike, August, 1828
Doctor S. II. I*. Lie, Now London, Conn,
Dkah Sir —It is now upwards of twenty years that 1
have used your sew London Udi itis I’ilis in my fami
ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al
most every description of disease, and believe they sa«
ved many a long doctor's t>ill by tin-ir esrly and timely
use. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary
in their operation and effects until a te.v m >nths past;
and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve
ry instance of using them, I l>eg*n to conclude that you
had made your fortune, and abandoned their manufac
ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under th s
impression, 1 accidentally saw an advertisement of
yours in a New York 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
respact. Finding those I had without this test, 1 be
gan to suspect that “ all was not fair in medicine, as
well as in politics, and called at several of our apothe
caries for j our piils, with your written signature. I
found many without this test, but none with it, until 1
came to tlie Meisrs 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 ain so much rejoiced on finding my
se> fin sspossemn of a medicine I so highly prize, that
that 1 cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this
information.
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 iny printed name, they are genuine,
and prepared by me; but if oelt the printed name ia
affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

MENT, (formerly Judkins'.)
When I first made and prepared this Ointment, ind
had, in several instances, experienced its good effects,
I sent it to several physicians, with instructions in wh»t
| cases to apply it, who were of opinion tint tne Dint
i mint would be a valuable public benefit. I concluded
that the Ointment would occasionally fall in'o many
hands, some of whom would probably undertake to
make it, and knowing the difficulty of the process-ne
vertlicless. it might be progated in this adulterated si.
tu ition, ns it might in some degree resemble the nrigi.
nal—and in this way its good effec's would be oblitera
ted Under these considerations, I secured the origi
nal and certain reinedr for those obstinate diseairi,
some of which luv^ so long baffle J the skill ufme
, dical science:
1st White swellings of everv description;
i 2d Sore legs and ulcers of long standing,
3,1 Schirrus or glandular tumors, particularly those
hardened tumors in wnm^i»’i» breasts, which oftentimes
terminate in ulcetated cancers;
4th Felons; or what so ne people know by thensme
of catarrhs, of every description.
5th Rheumatic pains ofthe joints;
6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or in
| wh\tever part situate;
j 7th Tetters of all kinds. In this complaint the pi
i tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part
outof water;
8th Chilblains or parts affected 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
i plication!1, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of
t any preparation of the mineral,) because it doe* not

external sore, in consequence of the bone* becoming

•Sir — My son having been afflicted for five yesri
with white swelling, and having applied every reme
dy recommended by the most eminent physicians
within my reach without success, I at length procured
one jug of Dr Judkins' Patent Specific Ointment, and
mule the application according to the directions ac
companying the ointment, and state, for the benefit
of the afflicted, that before one jug was used, a perfect
cure was effected. My son has enjoyed good health
ever since. I liave no doubt tint to the Ointment alone
he is indebtedi for nothing else was used fur more
than nine montlfs before the application of the Oint
ment. Respectfully, John Lotas
