WANTS a difercet WOMAN to attend her thi

TH E fubferiber has the pleasure to inform his
countrymen, and in particular his infirm and
affiiaed fellow citizens, that by his affinity, af
filled by the aufpicss cf a beneficent Providence, he
has made several ufeful in and invaluable difeoveries,
which are approved of by on: of the most eminent pro
feffors of medicine the world ever afforded, for the
cure of the most obdurate and inveterate maladies and
diseases which are incident to mankind, and efpecialiy
such as have hitherto been reputed and deemed incura
ble ; whi:h he prepares and keeps, with necessary and
suitable directions in print, at his house in Second
ftreet, three doors below Fine-street : Among which
are—
Effentra Febrilis, or Essence for the cure of all con
tinual Fevers ;
Effentra Rheumatics, or Specific for the Rheumatism-
Elixir Paralitica, or Elixir for the cure of the Palfey.'
Syrupus Phthificalis, or Syrup for the cure of Confutes
tions ;
Pilule HydropicaeSpecific for the cure of the Dropsy.
Agu: Suptica Vegitabilis, or Astringent Vegetable
Juice, to prevent effectually the Hair from coming out
which from experience has been found to be an infallible
remedy ; it not only serves as a preventative, but has
the molt invigorating and strengthening power cf any
thing at yet discovered : it is to this Juice so many la
dies and gentlemen in this city are so much indebted.
It is useless and unnecessary to produce examples to
prove its efficacy, since every day's predict evinces its
powerful effect.
Leniament, or refined Balfsm,to make the hair grow
on heads that have been bald for any number of years.
Perhaps this to many may appear very strange and un
precedented, but striking examples and d^monftrable
proofs will be given to those who are doubtful. Eld
erly men in this city, who have been bald for many
years, have, by the assistance of this lately difeovered
Leniament, repossessed themselves of 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 ladies 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 Praditioners may be supplied by
Wholesale or Retail, by the Publics most obedient

ALL persons within this state, who have been em
