DR PIERRE K UtiAXDIN’S,
Genuine.lnti-Rheumatic Salve.
HIS well approved remedy, has been by
f. many repeated trials found to excel all oth
ers as yet offered to the public, for the cure of
all sorts of Rheumatism; its efficacy in giving
speedy relief in this complaint, is astonishing!
not only in easing the pain, but in dissolving
the coagulated ly mph which fixes itseif on va
rious parts, and by continuing to remain station
ary, produces incureablc lameness Moreover
it is an excellent remedy toaljay the pain of the
Gout, Paralytic Pain, help local Pals), obviate
Gangrene, remove the Cramp, the Tooth-Ache, i
and the Crick in the hack, -it is superior to al- 1
most every other application for burns (St scalds, j
and if applied immediately, extracts the fire al-i
most instantaneously. It infallibly cures bruis
es and sprains, broken breast, sore nipples, ul- J
cers and sores. It is good for the mumps, sore ’
throat, the hooping cough, the piles, and any
kind of pain or ache.
When mercury has been used andfcy reason
of a cold becomes fixed (as it commonly does)
in the joints, by which means a joint swells, is
stiff'and painful, by applying the Anti-Rheuma
tic Salve, one may expect to be relieved in a
short timet however, in some very ebstirale
cases, or of long standing, the warm-bath may
be had recourse to with advantage, previous to
using the Salve.
The author being weil known in the treat
ment and cure of Rheumatism, assures the pub
lic, that neither mercury nor any of ts com
pounds, in any shape whatever, nor any ingre
dient injurious to health, enters the composi
tion of the Anti-Rheumatic Salve, which is offer
ed to the public not as a cure all, but as an ex
cellent and as an excellent and safe remedy for
external application. He relies on the Salve o
recommend itself.
No sea vessel should be without this very val
uable Salve, and all families ought always to
keep it in their houses.
Certificate of Dr. Thomas Fitch, J\‘o. 127 J\‘orth
Ninth Street, Philadelphia.
I the Subscriber, a regular practitioner in
Physic and Surgery, now a citizen and inhabit
ant of the City of Philadelphia, do certify anr
say, that l have examined llocter Pierre E
Brandin’s Genuine Anti-Rheumaiic Salve, and
and having had it in my family, and for the good
and benefit of the public, I do recommend it
and particularly to those who are afflicted with
the complainte for which its Author recom
mends it. In faith of which, I have signed
the present Certificate this day 7 , October the
24th 1815 Signed. THOMAS FITCH.
V\ an ess, Peter Wm. Gamier.
Certificate of David Ayres.
I David Ayres, do hereby testify, that I have
been much troubled with the Cronical Rheu
mat ism, or Wandering Gout for years, hearing
of Dr. Pierre E Brandin’s Genuine Anti-Rheu
matic Salve, 1 bought a smalt box for trial, and
finding it gave me immediate relief, and answer,
ed my purposes better than any thing of tile
kind as yet offered to the public, induced me to
buy one of his large boxes One of my daugh
ters for some time was sorely afflicted with
Biles breaking out in various parts of her body,
and were very troublesome to her,'she applied
the said salve (as directed) to her biles, in a few
minutes her biles were easy, and in a short time
cured. Therefore, from the good that land
my family has received from Dr. P. E. B’s Gen
uiue AntVVheuniatic Salve, I freely recommend
it to the public, wishing my fellow creatures to
be relieved as I have been, considering the saiu
saive as fr as my knowledge will admit, to be
t<h excellent, safe and extraordinary remedy for
external application, and doubt whether any
other can surpass it In faith of which I have
signed and delivered the present certificate in
presence of Peter Wm. Gautier.
Signed, DAVID AYRES.

AN ACT
To establish a tribunal to enquire into the quali
fications of persons claiming to practice Me
dicine, Surgery, & midwifery, within t'>e city
of Savannah, and to giant certificates to the
same if found properly qualified.
Whereas, ii appears by a memorial of the
I Mayor and Aldenncn of the city 7 of Savannah,
that the good people of the said city, and es
pecially the poor illiterate people thereof, have
suffered heretofore much evi from the want of
proper laws to regulate the practice of medicine,
surgery, and midwifery therein, the conse
quence of which trant has been the indisc imin
ate and arrogant pretensions and undertakings
of many unlearned and empirical persons to
practice therein in the said arts: And v. hereas,
sound policy and a proper regard for the healths
and lives of the citizens of a commercial, popu
lous, and growing city, require that the legisla
ture should guard against such an evil for the
future:
§ 1. Be it therefore enacted by the senate and
i house of r< preseututives of the'state of Geor
gia in general assembly met, -and it is hereby

tion of professional attainments and capacity
