r § ' H E fubferiber has the pleasure to inform his
1 countrymen, and in particular his infirm and
;affliaed fellow citizens, that by his assiduity, af
fixed by the aufpiecs cf a beneficent Providence, he
h^s made several ufetul in and invaluable diftoveries,
which ar# approved of by one of the most eminent p o
feffors of medicine the world ever afforded, for the
cure of the most obdurate and inveterate maladies and
d hals which art incident to mankind, and especially
foch vs have hitherto been reputed and deemed incura
ble ; whih he prepares and keep?, with necessary and
''habie directions in print, at his house in Second
ftreet, three doors below Pine-street : Atnong which
ate —
Ell ntra Febrilis, or Essence for the cure of ail con
tinual Fevers ;
Effentra Rheumatics, cr Specific for the Rheumatism.
Elixir Paralitica, or Elixir for the cure of the Palfey;
Syrupus Phthificalis, or Syrup for the cure of Confump
ticns;
Pilule HydropicaeSpecific for the cure of the Drop,;
Agu: Suplica Vegitabilis, or Astringent Vegetable
Juice, to prevent rffed-ally the Hair from coming out,
which from experience has been found to bean infallible
remedy; it not only serves as a preventative, but has
the molt invigorating an 1 ftrengthaning pow^r of any
thing at ,et difeovered : it is to this Juice so many la
dies and gentlemen in this city are so much indebted.
It is useless and unneceffvy to produce examples to
prove its efficacy, since every day's practice evinces its
powerful effe&.
Leniament, or refined Balftm,to make the hair grow
on beads that have been bald for any number of years.
Perhaps tl i^ to many may appear very strange and un
precedented, but flriking examples and demonstrable
proofs will be given to those who are doubtful. Eld
erly men in tlis city, who have been bald for many
years, have, by the assistance of this lately difeovered
Leniam^nt, repossessed themselves cf suits of hair as
elegant as any in the city, without the least pain or in
convenience from the application. The general
success I have had, and fatisfaftion 1 have given to
those lading and gentlemen to whom I have administer
ed the said medicine, enjoins upon me, as a social ob
ligation, to communicate it to the public.
Country and foreign Practitioners may be supplied by
