TH E fuhferiber has the pleasure to inform his
countrjmen, and in particular his infirm and
afflifled fellow citizens, that by his assiduity, af
fixed by the auspices cf a beneficent Providence, he
hrs 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
difrafee which are incident to mankind, and especially
such ^6 have hitherto been reputed and deemed incura
ble ; which he prepares and keeps, with necessary and
friable directions in p int, at hi# house in Second
ftreet, three doors below Pine-street ; Among which
are—
Effentra Fehrilis, or Essence for the cure of all con
tinual Fevers ;
Fffentra Rheumatica, or Specific for the Rheumatism.
Elixir Paralitica, or Eixir for the cure of the Pxlfey;
Syrupy# Phthificans, or Syrup for the cere of Consump
tions;
Pilule Hydropic^ Specific for the cure of the Dropsy,
Agu: Suptica Vegihoilis, or Astringent Vegetable
Juice, to prevent eff^'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 most invigorating and ftrrngthening power of any
thing at yet di(covered : it is to this Juice so m^ny 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 pradice evinces its
powerful cffe&.,
Leniament, or refined Balf#m,to make the hair grow
on beads 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 he given to those who are doubtful. Eld
erly men in this city, who have been bald for many
years, have, by the affifhnce of this lately difeovered
Leniament, repossessed themfelve# cf suits of hair as
elegant a# any in the cite, without the least pain or in
convenience from the application. The general
success I have had, and fatisfaaion 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 ~o the public.
Country and foreign Practitioners may be supplied by
Wholesale or Retail, by the Publics most obedient,

Y^HEREAS a certain MARY CARBON, of this
city, has at different times declared herfelf my
wife, and alledges that she is lawfully married to me,
in oruer to obtain credit with t< e world, and to enable
her to procure thole necessaries, at my expence, which
neither her own charader nor fortune would otherwise
have done: In order therefore to guard mvfelf a ainft
