h FOR THE
SCURVY and RHEUMATISM.
Doctor Eustace's anti
''~° ''' lIC DROP S, the only Short
and infallible cure for those reigning disorders the
Scurvy and Rheumatism, though arrived to the
b'gnjt degree of inveteracy, and of many years
standing, and that without any sensible evacuation,
or the le^t purging, which by an unaccountable
inmake, is generally advised in scorbutic cases,
though mostly found rather to increase and confirm
the Scurvy than cure it. These justly esteemed Chi
luical drops, without any trouble or confinement
do immediately strike at 'the true causes of the Scur
vy and Rheumatism and their effe&s ; they quickly
alter the morbid state of the juices, purify the blood
sweeten the fluids, and cleanse them from impurities,
they effectually remove languid heaviness of the
whole body, wandering pains, weakness of the
back, and all the vast variety of Amptoms with
which the Scurvy and Rheumatism are attended;
they also a& as a cordial restorative to broken and
emaciated constitutions, by strengthening the sto
mach, creating an appetite, promoting digeffion
and Shortly redoing the defending patient to "a
gate of vigour and activity.
N. B. Any person afflicted with scorbutic ulcers
or violent ineumatiq pains, may (by applying to
the Doctor, at his fliop fix doors above Mar
ket-Street in Front-street) meet with ample fajisfac
tion and immediate relief. Letters Poll-paid, duly
answered. 7
