H YGEIANISM
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:—
Bbowx Uiiivsbsitt, Dec. 25, 183.3.
To Mr. Samuel Young, Agent for the Hygeian Vege
table Universal Medicines, for the State t4 Rhode
Island.
Sir—Gratitude to the Great Proaerver of Men com
pels me, in compliance with your request, to give a
brief statement of a cure, which, I think, ^received
from the Hygeian Medicines. I give publicity to the
same the more cheerfully; because thereby, perhaps,
I 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 may be explicitly unler
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 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
mv health; when, after about three weeks, in the
course of the night, having returned the evening be
fore in usual health, I found myself bleeding at the
lungs. I had not, to my knowledge, received any hurt
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
petite, ami withal, very weak
A few weeks determined that I was in a decline 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
rel»pse upon relapse, and each bringing me lower
than the preceding, seemed to baffle all human skill,
and warn me of an approachkig dissolution. Thus,
months after the first attack, a “ tubercle’* [small ul
cer] broke in the Inngs, after which I apat blood, one
day. I continued to decline twomunilu longer, when
I obtained the llygeian Medicines I had now been
unable tu ait up a whole d»y, for four months and a
half. My feet were cold and lifeless sleep unsound,
col«l 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, Ac. Ac. Such was my
condition, when I first became acquainted with the
Hygeian Medicine* I commenced taking the medi
cines, four pills at a dose, and increase-! 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 fortv 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 I had taken about
thirteen hundred pill*, when I found myself restored
to health. After I commenced the H>gi-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 il
my strength is not yet fully returned, I am certain I
liave leaa pains, and am more free from temporary
•ickness) than at any time since my earliest recollec
tion. Yours, with respect,
HORACE T. LOVE.
Dn H. SRirHCARD Moat
Dear Sir—I wish to state that my sister, after severe
suffering, and employing a medical man three years,
was relieved by the use of the Universal Medicine*.
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
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 overdacing herso If, and
perhaps, over exertion with it. After using a few,
doses of No. 1 and 2, alternately, about eight pills 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 case being made public for the
benefit of others; and am, dear sir, yours truly,
H. DYER.
Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb. 8, 1834
In justice 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 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 ol man, and therefore destruc
live to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly
harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un
der everyytage of human suffering; the most pi asant
and benign in it- operation, and at the same time the
moat searching out the 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 a few extra times to the purposes of eva
cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or
exhaustion of bodily strength, and without the fear of
catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way
different from their accustomt 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 hss already verified
its truth in this country.
These medicines cure by purging;andyetthe weak,
the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are
in a few day* strengthened by their operation, beca ise
they clear the body of its bad humours, and invariably
procure sound sleep. They are the safest and most
efficacious raenicine to take to seat preventing scurvy,
costiveness, Itc,
The Vegetable Cleansing Powders sre of great ss
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 may be taken throughout
the day* mixed in half a wine glasa of water.

Consumption!
Asthma! Catarrh!
IN that long train of diseases which seem ta grow
with the growth of civilized society, Consumption
takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human
life* yet this dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its
earlier stage*. It ia 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 aimple and salutary remedies, is sure to be
reproved by a dreadful succession of consumptive
symptoms—oppression ofthe breast} greenish and
bloody spittlej ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri
veiled extremetiea, and general emaciation of the
whole body} prostration of sireogth; flushed cheeks;
swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the full posses

The following extract is published by Ur. Lee’s au
thority, viz:—
Baltimore, August, 1828.
Doctor S. H. 1*. Lei, New London, Conn.
Dear Sir—It is now upwards of twenty years that I
have used your New London Bdious I’ills in my fami
ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al*
most every description of disease, and believe they sa«
red many a long doctor’s bill by their early and timely
use. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary
in their operation and effects until a few months past;
md having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve*
ry instance of using them, I began to conclude tfult you
bad made your fortune, and abandoned their minutac
lure to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under ih.a
impression, I accidentally saw an advertisement of
yours in a New YorX newspaper, designating spurious
imitations from your own manufacture, by having your
Will I’TEN SIGN A I'UIIK 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, | be
gan to suspect that ” all was not fair in medicine, as
well as in politics, and called at several of our apothe
caries fur your pills, witli your written signature. I
found many 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
se< fin ssposseion of a medicine I so nighty prize, that
that I cannot, injustice, refrain from giving you this
information.
To avoid the imposition ofcounterfeita 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 orlt the printed name n
affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

PATENT RIGHT SECURED.
BEWARE OF IMPOSITION.
SHEPHERD’S patent specific
OINTMENT, (formerly Judkins’,)
Prepared by C. HERSTONS, near Frederick•
town, Maryland.
ltiCHM'<!vn. Va- July 15, 1850.
rW^lIK, public vrill be pleased to understand tint I wit
! 1L 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,!
permitted the ointment to bear his name. The terra
of the patent hiving expired on the 25th June, I have
made an improvement in the same, and taken oat a pa
tent thereon. N. SHKI'HKKI).
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 grunted to him in his letters pater,'., now to
call the Ointment after his own name. Henceforth it
will be known by the name of
SHEPHERD’S PATENT SPECIFIC DINT
MEN l\ (formerly Judkins'.)
When I first made and prepared this Ointment, and
had, in several instances, experienced its good effects,
I sent it tn 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.
tuition, as it might in some degree resemble the or'igi.
nal—and in this way ita good effects would be obhters
'ted Under these considerations, I secured the origi
nal and certain remedy fur those obstinate diaeawi,
some of which have so long baffle J 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, particularlythn*
hardened tumors in wnm-n’s breasts, which oftentimes
terminate in ulceiated cancers;
4th Felons; or what some people know by thename
of catarrhs, of every description.
5th Itheumatic pains of the joints;
6th Sprains and bruises of every description, or in
whatever part situate;
7th Tetters of allkinds. Inthis complaint the pi
tient, in applying the ointment, must keep the part
outof water;
8th Chilblains or partsafTected by frost.
It is also one of the best remedies for bums and
scalds. It eases the pain and drawa 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 ia much safer than mercurial ap
plications, (as it does not contain the smallest atom of
any preparation of the mineral,) because it does not
i«y the patient liable to injury from exposure to cold.
Tins <liniment has cured sore.s of many years stand
ing. Where it is impossible or imprudent to heal the
external sore, in consequence of the bones becoming
carious o> rotten, it will stop the progress of the caries,
increme 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.

Sir -My son having been afflicted for five ye»n
with white swelling, and having applied every reme
dy recommended by the moat eminent pliyaiciani
within mv reach without success, I at length procured
one jog of Dr Judkins' Potent Specific Ointment, »nd
m»de the application according to the directions »c*
companving the ointment, and state, for the benefit
of the afflicted, that before one jug was used, a perfect
core wasefTected. My son has eojoyed good health
ever since. I have no doubt th «t to the Ointment alone
he is iuJebtrdi for nothing else was used for more
than nine months before the application of the Oint
ment. Respectfully, Johr Cota*

Mr. C f/erstnns — I deem it proper to state, lor the
benefit of the public, that, several years since, two of
my children were affected with scald head of an inve
terate character. My family physician, Dr John T
Wilson, of l.eesburg, Va who was very skilful j*'
dicious in his practice, in vain endeavored by eserj
means to efi’.-ct a cure- At length Judkins' Ointment
wasaoplied, and the affection was permanently relic
ed. Very respectfully, \ our obedient servant,

Sir—It has been my wish, fora considerable ti#*i
to communicate to you the good effect with which
have used the Oin'ment invented by a Mr. Judk|K,>
and which I now understand is made and sold by
agents appointed by yourself, I have applied d"1
Ointment during the last three years to every specie1
of tumor and wound, without failure to produce»^
in every instance. I consider it the most decideasnd
efficient remedy in all cases of tumor, be the cau**
whatit may; and I have found nothing so good foe
wounds of any description It may be proper M
add, that the cure of a tumor called white swell'*!*
given over by the moat distinguished physicians as '•*
curable, and which th :y decided would, withoutsmp*1.
tation, prove fatalto the patient, was, under my tnt®*’
diate notice, effected by the use of Judkins'OmtmeBi
and the patient is in fine health Hialimb affectedi ;
the tumor being restored to a perfect state of sot"*
ness. Also that the leg of an aged man which had be*
wounded, and exhibited one dreadfully ulcerated t
face from the knee to the foot, and which, for nw^
than two years, had been considered incurable,
fectually cured by the application of Judkins ■
ment. I mention these two cases, whichfellundew
immediate notice and management, as a decide
denceof the efficacy ofthia remedy in cates
and ofulcersi I have expe ienced, as decidedly*
good effect ofthia remedy in the cure of Felon»i
of every species of fresh wound. Itseem* )?£*(&•
any one who wll observe on the operation oft hi*
ment, must be satisfied as to its beneficial effect
with the utmost confidence recommend the use o
valuable remedy, lam, sir, very respectfully*
