them upon the consideration of the reading public.

This valuable medicine, which has become celebrated for the
number of extraordinary cures effected through its agency, has
induced the proprietors, at the urgent request of their friends,
to offer it to the public, which they do with the utmost confi
dence in its virtues and wonderful curative properties. The
following certificates, selected from a large number, are, how
ever, stronger testimony than the mere word of the proprietors;
and are all from gentlemen well known in their localities, and of
the highest respectability, many of them residing in the city of
Richmond, Va.
F. Boyder, Esq., of the F.xchange Hotel, Richmond, known
every where, says he has seen the medicine called Carter’s Span
ish Mixture admir istered in over a hundred cases, in nearly all
the diseases for which it is recommended, with the most aston
ishingly good results. He says it is the mostextraordinarymed
icine he has ever seen.
Ague and Fever—Great Cure —l hereby certify that for
three years I had Ague and Fever of the most violent descrip
tion. 1 had several physicians, took large quantities of Quinine
Mercury, and believe all the tonics advertised, but all without
any permanent relief. At last I tried Carter’s Spanish Mixture,
two bottles of which effectualiy cured me, and I am happy to
say 1 have had neither chills or levers since. I consider it the
besttonic in the world, and the only medicine that ever l eached
my case. John Longden.
Beaver Dam, near Richmond, Va.
C. B. Luck, Esq., now in the city of Richmond, and for many
yearly u the Post Office, has such confidence in the astonishing
efficacy of Carter’s Spanish Mixture, that he has bought up
wards of 50 bottles, which he has given to the afflicted. Mr-
Luck says he has never known itto fail when taken according
directions.
Dr. Minge, a practicing physician, and formerly of the City
otel, in the city of Richmond, says he has witnessed in a num
ber of instances the effects of Carter’s Spanish .Mixture which
were most truly surprising. He says in a case of Consumption,
dependent on the Liver, the good effects were wonderful indeed.
Samuel M. Drinker, ofthe firm of Drinker & Morris, Rich
mond, was cured of Liver Complaint of three years standing,
by the use of two bottles of Carter’s Spanish Mixture.
‘Great Cure or Scrofula— The editors of the Richmond Re
publicanjhad a servant employed in their press room cured of
violent Scrofula, combined wtth Rheumatism, which entirely
disabled him from work. Two bottles of Carter’s Spanish Mix
ture made a perfect cure of him, and the editors, in a public
notice, say they “cheerfully recommend itto allwbo are afflicted
with any disease ofthe blood.”
Still another Cure of Scrofula — I had a very valuable
boy cured of Scrofula by Carter’s Spanish Mixture. 1 cousider
it truly a valuable medicine.

to be entirely beyond the reach of medicine. For nine year* 1
was afflicted with one ofthe most painful and troublesome sore
legs that ever fell to the lot of man ; and after trying every med

cured ; but a friend brought me a ,couple of large pots of your
Ointment, which caused the sores on niv legs to heal, and I
entirely regained iny health to my agreeable surprise anddelight,
and to the astonishmeW of my friends.

INTRODUCTION OF
Professor Jame3 McClintock’s
CELEBRATED
Family Medicines.
‘tfts = .Thisis to certify, that I haveplaccd in the hand, of Messrs
A. Cushman Sc Cos., JVew York , the receipts of my “Family Med-
with my full authority to prepare and offer them for pop
ular use.
In securing the co-operation of Mr. Alexander Cushman, who
is a thoroughly educated Chemist and practical Apothecary of
many years'* experience, I am enabled to assure the public that
they will beprepared in the best, purest andmost perfect form,
regardless of expense.
JAMES McCLINTOCK, M. D., Late Professor of An
atomy and Surgery in the Philadelphia College of Medicine
and Acting Professor of Midwifery; one of the Consulting
Physicians of the Philadelphia Hospital, Bloeckly; late
member of the National Medical association: Menibei of the
Philadelphia Medical Society; member of the Medico-Chir
urgieal College of Philadelphia; formerly President and
Professor of Anatomy and Surgery in Castleton Medical
Coffece Vermont; and also late Professor of Anatomy and
Physiology in Berkshire Medical Institution, Mass &c.&c.
Important to Consumptives,
And all who are afflicted with Bronchitis, or weakness of the
Yungs. Dr. McClintock’s Pectoral Syrup is recommended
as one of the best and safest remedies ever used for Bronchitis,
Consumption and all. diseases of the Lungs and Air Passages•
For any of these forms of disease showing themselves in Cough,
Tickling of the Throat, Sense of Tightness in the Throat or
Chest, Spitting of Blood, Difficulty of Breathing, Hoarseness or
Loss of Voice , Hectic Fever, Night Sweats, &c., this SYRUP
has been used with unbounded success for many years; it con
tains no opium, morphine or antimony, which injurious drugs
form the basis of almost all the quack remedies for lung com
plaints.
The Great Peculiarity
of Dr. McClintock's Pectoral Syrup , is that in all chronic dis
eases of the throat and lungs, it may be taken by the most delicate
patient with perfect safety. It contains no injurious drugs, like
the common remedies used for pectoral complaints. It is pleas
ant to the palate, produces no nausea or debility, butmay be taken
freely and constantlv, with the certain result of purifying the
blood, strengening the stomach, and renovating the entire system
ichile Healing and soothing the irritated organs, and producing
gradually a\ perfact cure.
Price in pint bottles $1; six bottles for $5. Full directions ac
companying each bottle.
McClintock’s cold and cough Mixture.
Colds and recent Coughs, especially if accompanied by fever or
infiammatory excitement, require a remedy different in character
from the Pectoral Syrup, which is so valuable in chronic com
plaints. The Cold and Cough Mixture is precisely the cure for
such recent coughs, cold and irritation of the throat and lungs.
It is especially valuable for children; no family in our changeable
climate, should be without this efficient remedy. which if taken on
the first symptoms of cold, would prevent many an attack of
Bronchitis, and a fatal issue in consumption.
No Laudanum or preparation of Opium, in any shape in this
syrup. Price per bottle 25 cents.
Purifying the Blood.
The folloicing, from the New York Tribune , will doubtless be
very seasonable to all who seek not only to preserve their health,
but to guard against all possible contingences which threaten to
destroy it :
“ IVe would call special attention to the importance of purifying
the blood. Nothing is so prevalent as a gross and sluggish state
of the blood. IVe have no hesitation in recommending to those
who would preserve their health, a free use of the best purifying
medicine known to modern medical science, viz;
Dr. McClintock’s Tonic Alterative Syrup*
This remedy is not. only delightful to the taste, but perfectly
safe and rapid in its effects. It stimulates the liver and other
glands to natural action, gives tone and new vigor to all the func
tions, and enables them to throw off all morbid and unhealthy ac
cumulations. ”
During the extensive practice of Professor McClintock, one
of the most celebrated Physicians in Philadelphia , thousands of
cases of Scrofula, Erysipelas , Scurvey, Salt Rheum, Tetter ,
Skin diseases of all kinds, Ulcers, Cancers, Pimples, Boils and
Rheumatism, together with Syphilitic and Mercurial diseases in
all stages were cured by the free use of Dr\McClintock’ s Tonic Al
terative Syrup. For children it is perfectly safe , and from its
pleasant taste can be easily given. Those who are troubled with
any of the above complaints, should take it regularly, Spring and
Fall. Price $1 in large bottles. Six bottles $5.
TREATMENT OF DYSPEPSIA.
Our National Disease.
Feeble or Imberfect Digestion or Dyspepsia , in some of its
forms, is truly the National Disease of America. It caases, in
directly, thrce-fourtlis of the sickness common to this climate. It
causes impure Blood, irritations and acrid llumors in the Stom
ach, Liver, Bowels and Glands, and the system thus poisoned be
comes a prey to an endless train of evil symptoms, of which the
following are a few, viz: Headache , Giddiness , Nervousness,
Low Spirits, Dimness of Vision, with. Mote, Speck or IVebs be
fore the Eyes, Itching of the N ostrils, Dullness of hearing, and
Ringing or Drumming in the Ears, Bad taste in the Mouth,
Tightness or Weight about the Chest, Difficulty of Breathing,
Sense of Suffocation in lying dozen or ascending stairs, Palpita
tion or uneasy feeling about the Heart, Irregular or deficient Ap
petite, sense of sinking at the heart, sinking at the Stomach, Ac
ridity, Heartburn, pain or fullness in the Abdomen, Costiveness,
&c. Some of these symptoms always appear in Dyspepsia. They
are often mistaken for, and treated as other diseases. Their
main seat and source, however, is the Stomach, and a deranged
condition of the digestive f unctions. To meet and overcome those
symptoms radically, and restore perfect health and vigor to the
system, a safe and certain remedy is found combining all the most
valuable ingredients offered by the vegetable Kingdom, in Dr.
Me CL INTO CK'S DYSPEPTIC ELIXIR. Its daily use
would be a blessing to thousands who suffer from the bane of
weakness. As the prescription of a leading physician, it can be
used with confidence by all. Price in large bottles , sl.
An Universal Pill.
Dr. McClintock’s Vegetable Purgative Pills, though not war
ranted to cure all diseases , are a specific against the numerous
disorders that arise from Costiveness, and Costiveness is the bane
°f Use to thousands; giving rise as it does to Headache , Appo
plexy, Impure Blood. Nervousness,Low Spirits. Lassitude, Pains
in the Bowels and elsewhere, and other spmptoms to numerous to
mention. Costiveness ytill cause or aggravate almost every
known disease, thorej'ore the Pill best adapted to cure this danger
ous habit is entitled to the boasted name of ail Universal Pill
Those tcho arc willing to try a scientific medicine, safe, certain,
znild and thorough in its action, yet operating icithout pain , should
use freely Dr. McClintock’s Vegetable Purgative Pills. Price
twenty five cents per box.
Rheumatism and Neuralgia.
These excruciating diseases are. radically cured by taking Dr.
McClintock's RHEUMATIC MIXTUTE in doses of a tea
spoonful three times a day. We have seen the icorst cases relieved
by it hi twenty-four hours. For external use wc have never known
so powerful and penetrating an application as Dr. McClintock's
RHEUMATIC LINIMENT. For swelled limbs, bruises,
internal pains, cramps, chilblains, stiff joints, toothache, and oth
er painfill complaints, where we have scan it tried, it acts with
magical effect. Thcseremedirs are sold at so cents j>erbottle.
Have you the Ague?
If so do not injure your Constitution by resorting to the com
mon cures in use. F.vcn very learned physicians are in the habit,
of prescribing Quinine, Arsenic, Blue Pills, and other powerful
drugs, which often do more harm than good., even if they stop the
chills. On the contrary, the more and oflener you take
Dr. McClintock’s .Fever and Ague Specific, the stronger
will your constitution become, and the better your appetite and the
vigor of the whole systew. It is eminently an article that CAN
BE TAKEN WITHO UT FEAR! and withal it has never fail
ed to cure all forms of Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever, Bit
lions Fever, Panama or Chagres Fever, Dumb Ague, &c. Price
Due Dollar per Bottle.
Whooping Cough Cured.
This distressing disease is thoroughly and quickly cured by Dr
McClintock's Asthma and Whooping Gough Remedy. It con
tains no opium andean be given to children ivith perfect safety.
A few drops at bed time quiet the cough all night, and a few do
ses cure entirely.
Instant Relief from Pain.
No person need suffer from Toothache, Headache, Neuralgia or
Rheumatic pains, Colic, Chilblains, Pleurisy or Stitches in the
Side, Pain in the Back, side, limbs, bowels, bladder, or in any
part'ofthe body, v'ho will apply to Dr. MoClintock's ANOD YNE
MIXTURE. Its effect is like magic—producing immediate ease
and quiet , refreshing sleep, even in cases of the most excruciating
suffering. Everyfamily should be provided with a bottle, Price
Fifty Cents.
Dysentery and Diarrhoea.
These severe diseases are now prevalent in various parts of the
country. They mvy be wholly prevented, and in the beginning
promptly checked, by Dr. McClintock's DIARRHIEA COR
DIAL, oncof the most astonishing specifics for all Boicel Com
plaints ever discovered. Thousands of cures have been made du
ringthe past summer, and many lives saved by this medicine—so
simple and cheap that every family can procure it. Price twenty
fivecents and fifty cents per botile.

The Southern Man.
THE Rev, Wm. H. Milburn, recently delivered a lecture be
fore the New Yorh A/eicimtile Library Associations “'The
Southern Man.” We annex some extracts which both for their
fidelity and beauty will be read with interest.
Where the summer lengthens itself into nine continuous
months, where the day is deliciousaud the night cooland spicy,
the Southern man grow s up a noble specimen of the physical
man, endowed with nervous vitality, for he is accustomed from
his earliest years to the most active exercises, engaged in all the
athletic sports of youth on foot and horseback, in the forest and
and the field; used to the pistol and the rifle, and the chase. —
Yet in every motion there is a degree of lassitude, surprising to
those who understand not the effect of his clime, and which yet
imparts a degree of ease, of graceful elegance, rarely possessed
except by an inhabitant of a warm southern climate.
In the long, glorious noontides, swinging luxuriously in his
hammock, he inhales delicious airs, butladen,alas ! with death;
they have on his cheek the marks of liis origin, and the tale is
sooit told that tqe liver of the southern man is altogether out of
order. This is a most magnilicant hint,and the fact wascontem
plated by the Greeks who made the word “melancholy,” which
meaus, by etymology, “a black or disordered liver.”
Wefullyagree with the gifted author of the above ex tract,and
are happy to call the attention of those having a diseased liver,
or any of those diseased so com mom to a Southern climate, to
to Hampton’s Vegetable Tincture the great invigorator of the
system; by its use all sufferingfrom lassitude and weakness be
comes robust and full of energy, we offer below some ofthe un
solicited testimony,

GOOD MEDICINES.
It is estimated that Ayer's Cherry Pectoral and Cathartic
Pills have done more to promote me public health than any
other one cause. There can be no question that the Cherry
Pectoral has by its thousand on thousand cures ot Colt's,
Coughs, Asthma, Croup, Influenza, l’ronchiis &.C., very much
reduced the proportion of deaths from consumptive diseases in
this country. The Pills are as good as the Pectoral and will
cure more complaints.
Everybody needs more or less purging Purge the blood
from its impurities. Purge the Bowels. Liver and the whole
visceral system from obstructions. Purge out the diseases
W’hich fasten on the body, to work Sits decay. But for disease,
we should die only of old age. Take antidotes early and thrust
it out from the system, before it is yet too strong to yield.
Ayer’s Pills do thrust out disease, not only while it is weak,
but when it .has taken a strong hold. Read the astounding
statements of those who have been cured by them from dread
ful Scrofula, Dropsy, Ulcers, Skin Diteasts, Rheum;.:ism, Neu
ralgia, Dyspepsia, internal Pains, Billions Complaints. Heart
burn, Head-ache, Gout, and many less dangerous but still threat
ening ailments, such aspimples on the tree, Worms, Nervous
Irritability, loss of appetite Irregularities, Dizziness in the
Head,Colds, Fevers. Dysentery, and indeed every variety of
complaint for which a Purgative Remedy is required.
These arc no random statements, but sire authenticated by
your own neighbors and your own physicians.
Try them once, and you will never be without them.
