DR. GILBERT's VL
EGETABLE ANTISCO:I-
- DROPS, in bottles at22s. and a smaller size at
4s. 6d.—The variety of diseases that prevail'at this teases of the
year, generally originating from impurities of the blood, a vitira
red stomach, or obstructed perspiration, it is with the fullest con-
' fidence of success that we strenuously recommend this unrivalled
medicine to public notice, as being a certain preventative and
cure for numerous diseases, particularly the land and sea scurvy
cancers, king's evil, ulcerated sore legs, running wounds in any
part of the body, leprosy, eruptions after the small-pox or mess
§
sles, inflammation in the eyes, St. Anthony's fire, rheumatism anti
rheumatic gout, slow, nervous, and intermitting fevers, mid all the
long train of disorders which attend the scurvy internally.
The following extraord:nary Cure and authenticated testimony
must of itself be sufficient to place Dr. GILBERT'S Vegetable
Antiscorbutic Drops a t the head of every public remedy, which
has been discovered in this or any other nation ; the truth of
which was confirmed by an affidavit taken at the 'I own Hall,
Poremouth, April the Ist, 1609, before the Reg. George Cuth-
bert, Mayor.

To Dr. Giese ee.—Sin, in g mimic to you, asbeing the Inven-
tor and Proprietor of one, perhaps, of the greatest discoveries in
medicine which has ever been made in any country or age, and also
for the suffering part of society, I could wish the following case to
be laid before the public at large: I had been for nearly three years
the greatest sufferer both in body and mind ; it first arose from a
powerful disease—the second from my being rendered incapable of
attending to my trade, the only means of providing for a wife and
infant family. My complaint was at first what is usually termed
the Rheumatism, which affected me in various parts of the body,
after which a deadness seized my hands and arms, which rendered
them entirely useless ; there appeared to be no sense of feeling
no more than if they were hung to my shoulders with chords,
as I could fling them against stones or wood without suffer-
ing the least pain. I had violent and almost constant pains
ia my knees, body and head, and my whole system so weakened
and relaxed, that I doubted (if ever being restored : I tried various
public medicines, and large quantities of simples; I applied to many
gentlemen of the faculty, both physicians and surgeons, men of
judgment and humanity, in the towns of Portsmouth, Portsea,
Southampton, Blandford, &c. but their medicines, blistering, hot
baths, nor any thing was of the least advantage to me: in this dee
plorable state I was when your Vegetable Anti-scorbutic Drops
were recommended to me, I purchased a bottle of them, without
the least idea of deriving any relief from them ; but my surprise
and joy MUM be supposed to have exceeded expression, when I say
that I found the languid circulation of the fluids warmed by vital
heat in a few hours after I had taken this astonishing medicine,
nor did it rest here, for I grew daily better, and in a few weeks
regular continuance of the medicine three times a dzy, I gained
an effectual cure.—Witness my hand,

The truth of the above statement is farther verified by the oath
of the said Win. Taylor, sworn the Ist day of April, 1809, at the
Town-hall, in Portsmouth, before a Justice of the Peace for the
said &initial'. GEORGE CUTHBERT, Mayor.
