Italian Lotion or Tincture o 1
Pearls
F OR Improving, preset ving and beautify
ing tho Complexion.—This admirable
compound has stnud the best of all tests (that
of experience) and proved itself the moat ef
fectual and valuable cosmetic yet discovered,
for removing Pimples, Spots, Freckles, Red
ness of the Skin, and all cutaneous eruptions,
imparling to the skin the most delectable
fuirncss- In case o( Scrofula, Salt Rheum
and various other humors, it has been used
with peculiar success. Gentlemen whose
faces are rendered tender by shaving, will
find it excellent beyond precedent, for arne
liorating and removing the unpleasant harsh
ness caused by the operation. Those persons
whose avocations expose them to iotenso so
lar heat and severe winds, will find that an
occasional application of this valuable com
pound will afford the most soothing relief, as
it removes the unpleasant sensation caused
by either. It has not been deemed requisite
to offer a long recapitulation of its many vir
tues, as its admirable properties arc too well
known and too justly appreciated to require
it. But as there are many vile and spurious
cosmetics offered to the public, as possessing
virtues of vital importance, it may not be
useless to remark that the ' Italian Lotion’
has been UBed by thousands, both in Europe
and America, with entire success, and far
exceeding Choir anticipatious. It not only
renders the skin beautifully soft and clear,
but by repeated applications it promotes a
general exercise of those important functions
of the skin, which are of primary importance
to those who wish to attain and preserve a
beautiful complexion, and does not contain
any of those pernicious ingredients, which
are the basis of most cosmetics now iu use.—
Certificates of its complete efficacy can to
shown to any who wish, either in English 1
French, Spanish or Italian.

and of renovating and invigorating every part

Philadelphia, May 28, 1824.
Sir,—I am now, thanks to your medicine, u hearty
man. For nearly six years 1 have been a martyr to a
discusc, whoso ravages threatened, if not soon slopped,
to put a period to my existence. Having had no regu
lar medical advice lrom the commencement, my com
plaint at last got to such a height that 1 could not rwuI-
jow without groat pain and difficulty. Tumours formed
in different parts of my body, and I began to think my
situation almost desperate. The five bottles of tho
Catholicon which I have taken have completely cured
me, and I am now as well us I could wish to be. With
my thanks, 1 am your obliged humble servant, &c.

Catholicon.—Ciiptiiin Dnm.lv, keeper of the light on
Supulo and master pitol for Dohoy Uar, alhorizea us to
muku known to the public tho loltowing fact of iftmeent
date
About a month ago, I bought three bottles of P<\
Tea's Catholicon, for the purpose ot' testing its virtues
upon Mr. Pater Rl'CuUucli, piU.t of- Dubov Uar, who
hud boon for several yours confined to his 'bed and
crutches in consequence ot diseusedlimbs,and ulccrutcd
tout—the soles of his feet were m that shocking stale,
that the bones were perceptible built to the sight und
touch.
Mr. M’Culloch, after the use of tiiiuf. norms ofthu
Catholicon, laid aside Ids crutches, und wits this day
in town at loading to his business,ill nearly perfect health.
Darien, November 1, 18*26. . -
Hartford, Conn. February 20, 1827.
Mr. Win. W. Potler-
Deat Sir—I have now but one bottle of Catholicon
tett, A persort arrived this evening, who came GO miles
since morning, for 17 bottles of Catholicon, and would
have taken 24 ; but I could let bun havo but 9. lie
cumo expressly fur the article, uud says that the person,
who had used two hollies, has had a “ liver affection
or consumption” 20 years ; and that three of the fam
ily arc invalids, and have paid in ten years, lor medical
advice and medicine, $1,500. Ho says tho person who
has used the two bottles, never found any mf.dic.neto
compare with the Catiioiicon, mid that thu neigh-
hours, seeing the asioiiishing effects it produced, anuin-
her ot them sent the above person to procure the arti
cle, lor various chronic diseases. The person told mo
he would wail two day, if he could to procuro
the two dozen. Will you, without fail, send mo,
or, if necessary, even come with a few boxes of thu
Catholicon to Hartford, as I fear delays will tukc placo
iu New York und New Haven; and os to being out of
tho urticlc, I cuiuiot think of it.
I um, iu haste, yours, &c. E. W. BULL*
TO SEAMEN.
Thousands of unfortunate seamen aro rendered use
less to their country by the ravages of a devouring dis
ease,to which they are more subjeetthau any other c.uss
of men. The case ofan unfortunate sailuig&who either
embarks in a diseased state, or finds himself bo, on a
long voyage, must be truly deplorable ; and it may
not, perhaps, be improper to suggest the propriety of
always including the Catholicon in tho medicine chests
of the Navy and Merchants’ service, it being a sovereign
remedy in tho disoase alluded to.
TO SOUTHERN PLANTERS.
The Vegetable Catholicon is peculiarly adapted to
those diseases which aro prevalent among the coloured
□ mlation of tho soutJr. In that disease which iscnl-
Yaws, it is a sure remedy ; a single trial of it will
convince planters of its superior efficacy to uny remedy
never bcnaturc in the United States. They should

should not havo been instituted, although

July Ilth, 1829.
It is now some six or seven months, if our
recollection serve us on this interesting point,
since we were struck by an agreeable aod
universal change in the fomale figures that
crossed us in the street. A gontlo rounu-
ucss of oullioo spoke wonders in favour of
our countrywomon to our unsophistocatod
eyes, which ionocently set down to the ac
count of nature what was only the cuoniug
work ot the mnntua maker. “A change
however, soon came ovdr the spirit of our
dream.” L»ke a geuorous nature once de
coived, we grew unreasonably suspicious.—
A general distrust accompanied all our per
ceptions, end every day wo ascribed Iusr to
nature aod more to the artist. At length,
the absurd imitations we saw avery where of
the human form, showed us that the band
maidens of Venus, the inautua <a makers, no
longer conteot to adorn, extended their
might ambilioo to excel her. The absur
dity, however, seems to have reached
tho last point: we predict that & crisis is ap-
proachiog, and that puff* aod padding,ore a-
bout to ’’take to themselves wings, aud fly
away.” Many prudent bachelors have an
nounced their deliberate intention to wait
Hie change of the fashiou beforo they made
their choice, dooming it imprudent to endan
ger an cogagemout by a discovery of the ox*
loot to which tho deception had ‘
ried. Thus all hypocrisy fails
its object, aod oo falsehood,
nious, whether it be a printed puff or a quill
od petticoat, can hope to deceive long.
