AFTER lingering; for a feries of years In a flat* of languiihment and decline, caufei rhoftly by infectious bile and phlegmatick humidities, I was led to ftudy out a remedy, which I have acquired, that is, this Biltous Cordial ; and have offered the fame to the publick, willing that it may, and not doubting but it will, when well knewn, occupy a fpace in the firft elafs «f auxiliaries to health, and not fimply that ; but trhere freely ufed, the leading and principal medicine to cleanie and ftrengthen the ftomach ; work the humours ©ut of the blood, and regulate the whole fyftem confirm- edandfupported, in the following pages, by true copies from the original vouchers, which may be feen by anf one* I am not infenfible of the difadvantages I labour un- der relative to the circulation of it by reafon of the nu- merous in>pofitions, daily prattifing on the publick,-of medical preparations* which do not prove equal tc their defciiption and recommendations, but its rapid progreffion, with xmiverfal fatisfacVion where applied to operate, as I have direc>d, and being confident that its iritrinfic worth is net rated too high, more and r*;orc confirms me that it will com* in:* general ufe. The rapid fale and good effects it has met with ©f late contributes greatly in its favour. It is now four years an* eight months fmce I began to prepare it. I difpo- fed of about 4000 bottles in four years, and forne more than 2000 inthe laft eight-months, likewife feveral hun- dred phyals. Many ikilful Phyficians ufe it freely. Some of them acknowledge it to be thebeft medicine they everufed| others that it is as good a cathartic as ever they ad** fflainifUred. A 2 S»me Some, who have never ufed it, jrefummg it to be lake many .other Patent Medicines, of little or no effica- cy, or that it is unfafe to be adrainifteredi, except under the immediate direction of fome phyfician, have advifed their patients not to take it. Others have faid thus, to their patients •> it wili cer« tainly kill you if yeu take it; ftr all that fome have tifqucd it, and 1 never knew it fail, when taken after having this fenteace proclaimed, of working a fpeedy •cure* Some fay it cannot be geod ; for it is fo highly re* sommended to cure too many complaints. Why lhoul^ a medicine be partial in the cure of one complaint more than another, the produce ef «ne and the fame* caufe, a foul ftomaeh, which is, allowed by the emU nent, the fource of moft diforders incident to the human frame ? True the recent and flighty are more eafily eradicated, than the antient and ftuborn. I dp not hold it up as a foxereign remedy in all eafe«* as fome iuggeft ; but, being fowieil calculated to af- iift nature, I have the confidence, fuppcrted by good Authority, to fay, that I firmly believe it to be the moft cSeclual medicine, that is perfectly fafe to be admmifter-. ed in all cafes, to cleanfe a foul ftomaeh, whether it be four, cold or bilious, or what is worfe, opprefled with a bird black fubftance--the very balls of black jaun- d;:<•., confumptions, occ. or, at leaft the piimitive caufe* or a confidence like clotted blood, pieces of flefb, &c. or ,ny kiad of worms ; alio t» heal and ftrengthen the. rl>mach, that has ever been made known to the pub- lic, Were it always* to be ufed under the immeiiat* direction of phyficians, what I have faid, and that it may be adminifteied freely in all conftitutions, that it will not debilitate like other cathartics, except in the time of adYian and but feldom then, but atherwifc, will roufe an inftinft in the drowfy fereaft, and give a fjpring "o both mental and fanguine faculties, would {uffice ;->— but. being a familv medicine ; .not unfifc to be admini- flered freely by the hand of any one, in any cafe what- ever. I think proper to mention fuch complaints, or fome of them that I know it has proved very effectual. to cure. Imagination, fometimesleads an anxious mind to a great pitch ia favour of a high puffed medicine, iiv ufing thb Cordial, I care not what the patent imagines, only lat enough be.taken to ckanfe the flomach. It is w^ll known that it has been taken with great freedom and crowned with fucccis by many of (lender conftitutton?, by fome far advanced in a decline, and Jo much exhaufted that their phyfic'ans pion»unotd them pall recovery, that they could not bear the operation of medicine to remove the caufe ;—and th.-.t many have* been cured.of the molt ftubb«rn, complaints, fuch as the bilious colic, cramp in the ftomaeh, fpafms, convuihons, throat diftemper, coughs, ftrangury, dropfy,t piles, dy- ftr.tery, gravel, St. Vitus's dance, acute ievcrs, iever and . ague, infinity, &c. Some fay, why is it better than rhubarb, falts,fena, and other cathartics now in ufe.? Tlufe ifrapplie i in large doles, caufe much pain, and j.r;.: followed by languor and debility, and d« not cleanfe the ftomaeh,. this hath- a verydiffeient effect ; the more it operates the left difagreeab'.e. feelings it pioduces, Living n» power on the. natural c^urfcof the body any further than to atfi'f nature. Inftcad of debilitating, it invigorates and fcts every faculty throughout the whole canal, in its. proper or- der. As fome are afra'.d to apply it freely enough to re- move the caufe ia old complaints, I will mention a fev/ chvumftance?, one in partkubi of a young woman who had be.n very languid and fl.M.der Loin a child, borne Iqwu under a complication of disorder?, and much Je-.

She continued in much the fame Hate of debility two or three days ; by the fourth day began to have a tolerable appetite ; by the feventh, had an extraordinary appetite, had gained confiderable rlrength, and was quite lively. She enjoyed, her. health very well moftly threugh the Ihmmer, without taking any more medicine ; but being neglectful ©f herfelf, and-taking one cold on the back of another, the winter following Uie was attacked of a fevere fit of ficknefs, when but little hopes of her life, (lie be- gan and took from two to five glafles of the Cordial in a day, the more it operated the fafter fhe gainedatrength and her fever foon died away. Another of a middle aged man, who obferyed to me, a few days fince,that he had been much afhicted, from a child, with a lingular and diftieffi»g pain in his head, till about a year ago, when he got a bottle of it and, and drank three or four glaffes one. evening, without paying any attention to the. directions on the bottle, tho* he'was obliged ftrictly to follow the dictates of its con- tents during the night ; but never after had felt any- more of that pain in his head. Jpril 1806. Several men have taken a bottle each at a time, or in the forenoon. Several women a pint;. one who had btcn unwell two years, and had taken it every morning for three weeks, /aid (he was much better. Another exprefled great fatisfacti*nfrom the effects of a defe of it which operated twtnty-five times. The aged and honorable gentleman, of whom I made. mention in my former editions, who took it for the gout, oppreflion at the ftomaeh, bad humours, ice. after being many years afflicted ar;d moft. of the laft winter previous, confined to his chamber, and though almoft eighty years. old he performs bufn.efs with dexterity, continues the ufe of it occafionally with the fame good fuccefs as at firft. A .;■ A man from toe count*y informed me of a remarka- ble cure wrought on him laft winter, after being a long time afflicted by the rheunxtifin and fick headache ; fcveral months clofely confined and nearty hclplefs ; his feet unable to fupport the weight of his borfy. Being over perfuaded, by a man acquainted with my Cordials, he took a good dofe of the Bilious and a d©uble dofe of the Rheumatick Cordial. Thelaft, being fo large a dofe caufed him to have a reliefs night. In the mcrniog he rofe, dreife'd himfelf, and waiked-abroad to his neigh- bours,.alfo rode a mile on horfeback, to the aftonifh- ment of all his beholder^ and ever fince performed the active part of hufbandry* I am jufl informed of a genrfeman belonging to thit town, who was taken ficb at Baltimore. After applying maay meoicines to little or no jmrpofe, he fent on here to my informant for a bottle of this Bilious Cordial, which he took-, got well, and came home. I am informed hy one of my agents, who commen- ced the fale of it about three weeks ago, that he had- fold twelve bottles to different perfons, and had heard from eleven thht they had produced a, g;o©d> effect. I have lately iiad information of a gentleman at North Carolina, who had the Fever and Ague, to foch a de- ree that his body -wasmuch fwoln, fimilar to the Drop- gy, and no phyfician nor any one could afford him any freltef, till a bottle of it wa» handed to him by my infor- mant ; he took it, and in a few days was walking on his plantation, in good health. I have been recently mformed of a young man, very fick of the BiUous Colic, fo that nothing had pafled his bowles for feven days, who laying afide all other medi- cines, took a gill of it every twen^. minutes, till be was relieved. It pau^d-his bowels m the night. The next day he walked out, t© theartoaifcnwBtof his many payficiaiis. One One of. my agents informed trie that a wiman wxs- euredby a frequent ufe of it" who had been mi.iv.i to a. high'.degree for fix weeks-- $dEdition.

A young man who had long been an ir.vahd, was ;:fter bein^ ftrongly foliclted by mc, over perfuaded by a friend who had proved it to take fome. He was foon 'relieved of his- difficulty by the difcharge of a large. black worm, and. immediately grew ftrong and hear- ty. I gave a man half "a pint of it, for a pain and diftrefs at his ftomaeh, which'in half an hour brought up a large Stomach Worm, afterwards it operated freely as a Ca- thartic and carried offhiscompiaiats iu.a fhorttime. Another man 35-years of jige, for anoppreflion at his ftomaeh, in great diftrefs having jutl taken a fevere cold, . took one gill, and he, in half an hour, brought it up. and with it, two Worms, about 8 inches long. He then bein-r in great diftrefs, took half a pint more,—this was ejected—he took the third doze and perfevered till it op- erated freely as a cathartic and relieved-him ot his dif- trefs. _ jr I have lately been informed of a cure wrought on two young cbrldt en, when to appearance juft ready to ex- pire—all prefcriptions fruitlefs though adminillcred by a fki'.lful hand ; it was given in large dozes which ope- rated freely and brought away large Worms, meafuring 12 or 14 inches. One Woman who»gavc her child at ten months old, a< gill at a dofe,-told me, (he had given it a quart, but moft- iy in two fmall dofes* It brought away laTge quantities of the black-headed Maw-worms, and cured it of the phthisic Half r-9- Half a {ill was given to a child fix months old, wnea Apprehended near its end ; it killed the fever which was. feated on its lungs^* few doses of it was applied and the child was form re (tore i to perfect health. If needful I cculd fwell out a large volumn ef fimilar gafes. My other Medjcal preparations have had a falutary effect full equal to my expectations; but thofe, for inter- nal complaints are nottqual to be compared with the Bilious Cordial, for this, though in fome cAfes, feems like putting fire to tinder, generally ftrikes at the roots of the matref~-m the greatett tompgf ition of diforders—even thofe of oppbfite natures, and gently works off the caufe in a (hort time ; whilft thofe ahd medicines in general, if they agree with a complaint, only crop a few twigs at a time, patch up and partially wear off a complaint by- degrees, leaving the roots behind, which in feme cafe* caufes immediate relapfe—in others anuel, or periodi- cal ficknefs. In the adminiftration of the above Bilious Cordial, tnd fome times where it is much ufed, and in high eftoem, many labor under great difadvantage, by applying too fmall dofes, not enough to reach the caufe,. and are difappointed. It being of a ftrengthening na- ture, different from other Cathartics, and healing, the more it operatesjhe better. It not only ferves as a Reftorative. to remove exit- ing complaints ; bat a preventative to keep off con ta- geous difeafes, &c. fuch as Fevers, Dyfentery, Jaundicr, &c Though fome medicines, ufed freely, after awhile be- come habitual and ufelefs, it isnot (9 with this; for af- ter en*ugh has been taken to cleanfe the ftamach, a dofe, taken when the bile begins again to collect, will carry off the filth, and keep the ftomaeh in order. As our habits vary, fowe muft vary the dofe, femetimes ap« plying more and fomxtimes lefs. l — IO' I have obfeived it to be univerfally the cafe, that when a new-,difcovery has been made, particularly in the medical line,whether beneficial to the public or not, fer*e have been partialto it, and fome prejudiced. againft it i but let no one judge a cafe before he knoweta it. That this difcovery, which.has along time occupied my mind, andfeveral years been the main object of my employment, may meet the candid approbation of the wide world, agreeably to the true quintefcence of its merits, is feelingly the fentlmental petition of their dc-s votcd;aud obedient Humble fervant, SAMUEL CHAMBERLIN-. ^BC5SSHBSwy*^r^^^,?r3S DESCRIPTION and DIREC- TIONS. THIS Cordial is a vegetable preparation, which may be taken with perfect fafety in all climates by either fex, at any age or circumftances in life.' It is a reftorative cathartic, a carminative, diuretic,and mena- gogue, and a predominant detergent, quite palatable j calculated to effectually cleanfe, warm and ftrengthen a foul ftomaeh ; fweeten the blood and regulate the ap. petite and conftipated bowels; promote digeftion ; and give a fpring to the mental faculties. All this it per- forms without forcing nature, debilitating, or producing any bad effect. If properly and feafonably applied, it feldom fails to cure any difeafe whatever, brought on by afoul ftomaeh, whether four, cold or bilious, or, what is worle, oppreffed with a hard black ftfbftance, the ve- ry bafif of the black jaundice, confumptiohs, &c. or at leaft the primitive caufe ; or any kind of worms. Be fure to apply enough to operate freely, the more the bet- ter. A dofe may be from a table fpoonful to a pint, * * A table fpoonful at night after eating a very hear- ty (upper will fomedmes be fufficient to prevent oppref- fioa. It is good alfo after drinking a little too much fpirit to fettle the biain and create an appetite for breakfafi: next morning, ifc tbi* cafe a large dofe ought to bo taken. Many take it at night in preference to the rnoj-ntng j a fmali dofe taken at late bed time is very convenient; for, keeping ftill, it feldom operates till morning. Some who have been in a habit of drinking ardent fpirit to excefs for many years, have mantfefted a defire to refrain, but faid it had become a fecond nature, wjts 'their tout a gill, ts a moderate dofe in flighty complaints Tor an adult; let whoever admkrifters'.it regard net the quantity, after the firft dofe, but its operation and the effect it produces to be taken generally, in the morning, fading. Take a light breakfaft ; after that, the diet and exercife may be as ufual, only keep dry and cona- fqrtable. In cafes of a fefious nature, take gruel, fago, Sec. and be careful to avoid taking cold. If a lax fhould enfue, as it fometimes will repeat it immediately, it wiH sleanfe the ftomaeh regulate the bowels and banifh every debilitating fymptom.* Direction ift. In coT*furnpJ:rons, coughs,^ fpitting* li i i ; m in ■ rfii n •. ii, i i v ■ - ..- . ,i .. their chief fupport, and they could not live without it. I firmly believe and not without good grounds, that a man ever fo tang accuftoraed to ardent fpirit, if his constitution ps not too much impaired, may leave it off at once, without fufferiag the lead injury ; perhaps he may hanker after it a few -days. To effect this work, or rather to make a beginning* a man muft be poffeffed of a little fortitude. Let him drink this Cordial freely ; it will in ft great ^eafure remove the caufe pf that hankering defire, and perhaps iatisfy his appetite. It will cleanfe his ftomaeh and give him an at,petite fox food. Let him follow the firft or fecond Directions. Be fure not to be afraid cf taking top much. *Somehave been deceived after taking a fmall dofe, and miftook a fevere debilitating relalfor a draftic work- ing of the Cordial, as this never forces nature, it is ea- fil^knowawhenitkasdone workiag-*-it never work* too much. t ,. f The Carminative Ootfgli Drops alone have *ured many diftrefling coughs : it would not be amifs to take a dofe at going tombed, while taking the Cordial} they are good to expel wind. 1j1oo«I> —*3~ blood, piles, f old bilious complaints and univerfal debility,* or debilitated by emetics or draft ic cathar- tics ; apply a fmall dofe firft, and increafe it to operate fix or eight times each day, and continne it alternately, by taking it three mornings, and omitting it three, fo ©n to nine j or take it every morning ; or it may be ________________taken 51 This Cordial tias cured every one who has taken it for the piles, that has come within my knowledge many who have been afflicted with it a number of years; but it muft be taken for this and moft complaints feveral times. One man affirmed to me. that he had been gricvoufly afflicted with the piles for fifteen years ; and that one bottle ufed according to my directions, cured him. * I find it very often occur, that (lender conftitutions are afflicted of old ftubborn. complaints, fo ftubborn that a gentle defe of ph) fie will have very little or no effect ; diaftic cathartics debilitate and reduce the patient ftill lower, but fcldom reach the caufe ; and emetics, if ap- plied freely enough to teach the caufe, rack the confli* tution to fuch a degiee that, as fays the old proverb, " theien cdy proveth to be worfe than the cifeafe." Some have conjectured that this Cordial was not fuit- able for their conftitutions, becaufe a fmall dofe did toot cure them as it did their neighbour in a fimilar com- plaint. Others, becaufe 'the fame quantity would not remove the caufe in a violent attack, which cured them of a flight complaint of the fame nature, that it was not poweiful enough, nor fuitable in the prefent cafe. A man may, with the fame propriety, tax the wind with partiality fjr carrying his neighbour's mill round, with- out moving his, requiring ten times the force ; or the water in a harbour of lofing its buoying qualities for admitting a (hip when heavy laden to ftick in the mud, which had failed free and clear o\er the fame ground with a light cargo. taken two or three times a day ;* (a dofe at bed time, agrees beft with many) till it thoroughly clean.es the ftomaeh.

Very often, when taken in feafon, one large dofe in the morn- ing, and a ciofe of Rheumatic Cordial at night will cure the com- plaints, if not bathe the afflicted parts repeatedly with ftrong beef pickle, as hot as it can be borne Tintfureof Saffa-fraa has < had a very good effeiftbut being little known,it has been little ufed. ( Thefe two Cordials have had a good effect in the Numb Pal- fy ; and the Bilious Cordial has cured one or two of St. Vitus' dance. § A woman told me, that fhe had experienced great relief frora the ufe of one bottle of it for the Lethaigy, when very 1 much affli&ed. A man a'fo told me,"that it had helped h« fon Very much in Lethargic Fits, and that he fhoulj continue the J ^application. -5 || I have juft heard of a man who was cured of the gravel ,by two bottles of ir, *J Dropfy. Pay particular attention to the directions on the labels of the Bilious Cordial that will be the mo ft effential to re- ■'< move the caufe : feveral have been reftored to health by it—a •! number are now applying it to good advantage. The Foreft Tincture, taken in gin and water, is good to remove wind and warn the ftomaeh. * When the blood becomes b*d by thefe caufes, it muu* take confsderable dtfertfes, or ardent fpirits, leprofy,* fait rheum,f St. An- thony's fire, fhingles, &c. ; apply from half a gill to half a pint. When the operation begins to abate, re- peat ctonfiderable timj^jtoith ever fo good . applications, to get it into it* proper Hate. Take the Cordial as is directed. ElixirColumbia by its directions. D/4nk freely of a flrong tea made of farfaparilla and faffafr&s roots as a common drink. Tartar Emetic, Mercury, Opium, and Peruvian B*rk, by many, are the principal medicines now in ufe—^11 gocd m their pHce, us faid a Phyftci: n a few days ago ot Mercury, Op'um, and the B»i k, ' that they were three of the be'.t medicines in the world, though the word ufe is made of them." When I firft came for- ward with my newly difcovered medicine, this Bi ieus Cordial, mod if the people were fo far traditioned in favour of tint gteat enemy to man's nature in general, and more particularly in (len- der cou'litutions, Tartar Emetic, that it was a hard matter to perfuade them that any other medicine coul ! be equal to it to cleaufe the ftomaeh. I think 1 can without exaggei »*'ng fay, that nine tenth? of the competent judges, who have propeiiy ap- plied this Cardial within my knowledge, wiil allow it to be more effectual thaB any Emetic they ever knew to be ufed; and tlut alone, is better calculated to remove a caufe an.i work a final eure, without the leaft apprehenfion of any ad effect ; in moft cafes, than the four above medicines, though conducted by the nioft fkilfui hand.

Take the Cordial as'directed ; flour ful- phur and eream tartar every day you omit the Cordial ; alJo take Elixir Columbia twice a day, and anemt the parts afflict- ed, night and morning, with the Vegetable Salt Rheum Oiitment. It prevents the itching, quiets the inflammation, and fetcheth off the fcuif. Diet. Eat no fait provifions, butter, nor gravy ; driuk :io ardent fpirita,uor cyder ; table and fmall beer may be drank, alfo —1<5— peat it. Follow the fame direction, applying enough each day to operate ten or fifteen times, three or four days fucceffively ; or till it will pafs the bowels without effect. Afterwards, apply it when the bile begins again to collect. In the 5 firft cafes apply a dofe of Rheumatic Cor- I dial. In the three laft apply the vegetable Salt Rheum Ointment, and Elixir Columbia, as fee the labels, or the laft part of this work. DireBbm yl.

But if attended to in its firft flages, agreeable to thefe directions, it may be eafiiy eradi- cated. Iu one cafe, taken in the bud, a man was cured of it by a few applications. Another man, who has been five years afflicted of it, had been ^rievouily tormented by medical applications; though allevia.

When the ftomaeh by any means reje&s the Cordial, take a large dofe of Foreft Tincture; It will generally" relieve, and prepare the flomach to receive the Cordial.

I do not know, when it has been properly ap- plied, that it has failed in one inftance of checking a fever, and feldom of throwing it off entirely, when taken in feafou, afier a- fever is feated, give large dofes, which, repeat often, as foon as the operation of the firft abates give the fecond, fo continue till it works off that whereby it is fed, the filth of ihe ftomaeh, tbis- being doue,reafoa teaches us, the fever muft die away, far noth- ing lemain to feed it. It never irritates nor has any bad effect, though cenfured by ■fome Who are unfavourable to it, as to all patent medieines. }j The Cordial has ddne much good iu this complaint as well as in common colds ; it has cured whole families, but muft be ap- plied in large dofes. ^y Dyfentery and Cholera Morbus. Some object to a frequent ufe of this Coidial, fearing it will ?;ike the coat r ff 'he intestines. It hath no fuch effect ; but the more it operates the better. A large dofe, taken in the firft ftages of the complaint, will work an effectual cure. But if not taken at firft it wilt generally require feveral dofe»." R-pet it till the com >!aint fubfide. It nuy be intervened with Rofe B^lfam. Eat no meat jtakei ght diet,fuch a» milk-porridge, oat meal, rye rufty pudHing, &e. In ferbu- cafes, w«ea there in apprehenuoo of a mortification i'p'ply fait *nd vinegar. Take a table-fpoonful of vinegar made as fait as poffibfe, once iu an hour or two. as the nature of the cafe may require, in three or four fpoonfulls of tea made of blackberty vines, fts^wbetry leaves, feverbufti, or fome other Cooling herbs.

In the firft four and two laft cafes of thi« direction, the Phthific and Cramp Drops and Foreft Tincture are good ; in the dyfentery, cholera morbus, running of the reins, the Rofe Balfam, as fee labels.

An ADDRESS—To the Publlck. tAt a time like this, when Patent Medicines abound many of which perhaps cure nothing—but an inclination for a fecund dole. .When a Patent Medicine and Pub- lic Imposition-, feerm to be con fide red as nearly fynony- , i»«us terms ; and a Patentee is reputed a common Liar who is hot to be believed tho' he fhould fpeak the truth i lti« not a wonder that Merit, jn a Patent garb, fhould reo;;ve.her dividend of Public Contempt ; and.like the dog in :he Fabl?, fuffer by being found in bad company. Though Medical advertifements, are, generally, writ*. ten in fuch a Bombaftie Style, that he who comes for- •D ward / /■ _38_ ward with a plain honeft ftory,ean fcarce obtain a hair- ing ; yet this is not prefumed a fufEcient warrant, either to deviate from truth, or to ufe the mean artifice of de- ception. Man does not enter fociety upon a Charter of Inde- pendence ; he both needs affiftance from others, and is under a moral obligation to make return, as opportu- nity may prefent. By virtue of this Obligation, I would inform the Pub- lic, That I have repeatedly made ufe of Chamberlin's Patent BiHous Cordial, and in the character of Agent, have difpofed ofea large quantity in this place. And by my owii experience, with the voluntary teftimony which I have received from many refpectable characters ; I do not hefitate to recommend it ?san excellent Cathartic. Its efficacy, as a preventative to Fevers, in Colds, Indi- geftions, univerfal debility, Bilious Colic, See. can be at- tefted by a large and refpectable number of people in this .vicinity. As its general chaiacter is to cleanfe a. foul Bilious Stomach ; all complaints originating from that, have, ^enefally, been removed by it when applied with the leaftjudicioufnefs. Its fuccefs here has been great ; not afolitary inftance has come to my knowledge of its injuring any one ; and but few of its failing to ef- feet relief. In fhort its credit has almoft invariably kept pace with its circulation* , A Panacea, or univerfal remedy is not pretended; (that child of credulity will probably remain undifcover- ed, coeval with the Philofopher's Stone): Neither can jtbeexpeaed to perform a radical cure m every cafe, even in complaints for which it is recommended ; but as a general Family Phyfic, I prefame there is not its equal. That it mav receive the approbation its merit deferves is the fincere wifh of BENJA. BADGER. Lynn, March 20, 1807. ■" True Merit deferves Praife.

' '\ Apothecaries, who know its efficacy, and have been * 1 incumbered with a multiplicity of patent medicines, which yefterday were in high repute, to-day treated with neglect and dying infolventon their hands—calling; to mind the proverb, *' A burnt child dreads the fire," fay* they cannot have it in their fhops without a lirge: compensation. I find it of no confequence wheTe,orby whom vended.. i: When its ufe is. found out, it lells as well by an artificer in a workfhop, or a plough-man in a farm-houfe, as by an aecomplifhed apothecary in a fplendid edifice.

Where the foregoinghcomplaints are caufed by bilious habits, the Patent Bilious Cordial, will be the moft ef- fectual to remore the caufe. New-England abounds greatly in Medical Vegeta- tion, which, without doubt, is much better adapted to our conftitutionsahdhabits than medicines brought from other climates. Why then are they not in general ufe ? 1 he reafon is obvious. It is not congenial with the nature of man to abandon a fplendid life ofeafe and growing pelf, to grovel in the duft and, that too, for Tmaller gains. That regular practitioners of phyfic principally dictated by foreign authors, do not encourage the medical produce and manufacture of our own country, is not a myftery ; for could they, by foreign authors, acquire a knowledge equal to the undertaking, thetafk of exploring the moun- tains, ranging the fields, meadows, tbvers, banks, &c..— would be fo great that moft of them would fhrink at the idea. Even to prepai e the medicines after the in- gredients are collected, is attended with ten times the trouble and fatigue as to get a fupply from the apothe- caries.

Thefe drops have much the | fame effect as Ladie's Comfort, only much more potent and laxative. |, Though potent, and generally affording relief in moft f of the above complaints, it cannot be expected they will I always remove the caufe. In many cafes it will.be ne- i ceffary to apply the Patent Bilious Cordial, it being well known to be afafe and fure cathartic to cleanfe the ftp- roach. For a hoarfe cold. Taie a large dofe of thefe drops in warm water, or herb tea, at going to bed. It will promote perfpiration, break up the phlegmatic maft at the ftomaeh, and enable the patient to throw it off in "- the morning by expectoration.

As this well known Laurel is ene ingredient, corn. manding the flavour, I therefore call it Tincture of Saf- fafras, a compound of Vegetables. When ufed inter- nally, it is a Carminative, a ftimulating aperient, a cor- roborating diuretic ; and a reftorative of the blood and juices ; and is good in fcorbutic, catarrhal and fpama- tic complai'nts; alfo to defend the ftomaeh, remove faint- nefs and create an appetite. A dofe may be from one to three tea fpoonfuls, in a litttle tea or water, at going to bed or any other time occafionally. Applied externally for external complaints, its virtu- ous faculties are many and great.

For old complaints or the fto- maeh foul, or blood in a bad ftate, take the Patent Bil- ■ ious Cordial freely by its directions. Do this and be under no apprehenfions of any bad effects taking place by healing any fore whatever. N. B.--I prepare a ftronger kind, called Extra Tincture of Saffafras, which is more efficatious in ftubbora com- plaints where the fkin is not broken, bard fwellings, &c. Its carminative qualities are alfo more powerful there- fore better in fome internal windy complaints. A dofe may be from forty drops to two tea fpoonful Is.________ * This Tincture being fo good for me cyss and to rake out fire, it proves very convenient for Smiths andothers expofedto the mafterly element, by cinders flying into '■- face and eyes ; for it affords immediate relief and is per- fectly fafe to be ufed freely. Mr. Chamberlin, Some time in July laft my youngeft child, then aged 21 months was attacked with a fwelling juft ab -ve the knee; which increafed till his whole thigh was nearly twice its natural fize. It was foon aftei lanced and from that time became a running fore ; frequently, however* clofing up and breaking out again, fometimes in the fame and fometimes in a new place. As the time of its being clofed was attended with increafe, both of fweidng | and pain, recourfe was had to a fpunge tent, to keep it open. Various means were ufed but without any favora- ■—5° ble effect, as it only grew worfe, the flefh was highly inflamedand the bone carious. Indeed I expe&ed -^n amputation muft clofe the fcene. It continued umitr the care of a refpectable phyfician, till the middle of De- cember, when we began an application cf your Tincture of Saffafras and. Green Wound Salve ; this we continued fix weeks, and finding no favorable effect, except that it grew no worfe, and kept open without a tent; we were on tlie eve of dropping it,, but continuing it two weeks longer fuddenly it doled up, and is now to appearance as well as it ever was, excepting (which is common) the. integuments adhering to the bone. " This was a cure ef- fected in eight weeks by the application of only 7 bottles-. of Tincture and 3 boxes of Salve, DAVID Wl GHT- Lynn, March 2.1, 1.807, To the Publick.—About 17 years ago, by a fudden> wrench, I broke the grillle in the joint of my right an- cle, which, notwithstanding my great exertions, with the advice and attendance of many furgeons, till within a; fhort time, has been a continual fore vending itfelf fome- times on one fide of the ancle, and fometimes on the o.- ther, and continually fwollen. At times,as raw as a piece. of beef on every fide, nearly half the way up my leg. About 8 months ago, my ancle being very painful, and much fwollen, I called on Mr. S.

APPLICATION. Let the nature of the cafe and habits of the patient dictate the adminiftration. For recent flighty complaints, perhaps one or two do-. fes of the Cordial and as many applications of the Oint- ment may be fufficient, But old ftubborn complaints require more. Take enough to operate from eight to fif- teen times, and repeat it till it carries off all the fith from the ftomaeh, then apply the Ointment a few times, and it will generally work a cure..
