have been setTerers to this dreadful•and rievastatin,r malady.
Dr. DAV I ESON continues to direct his studies to those dis-
orders arising front the ten free and indiscriminate indulgence
of the passions, which not only oce,sion a nnuierons halo of
nervous ,iffort ions, lint also entails on its viiiari,S all the ener-
vating imbecilities of old age. In that distsessine state of de_
bility and deticiencY, whether the consequence of baneful ha-
bits, excessive drirAing, or any other cause by which the powers
of the constitution become enfeebled, he offers a firm, safe, and
speedy restoration to sound and vigorous health.
It is a melancholy fact that thousands fall victims to the ve-
nereal disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men, who,
by the use of that de idly poison. illereury, ruin the constitution,
and when tire great Doctor Swedeur Profes,,r at Ley-
den University, he' conferred an invaluable belbleiit upon man-
kind by the discovery of his grand Panaceh, for the cure of this
deplorable complaint. Never did a discovery excite a greater
sensation, it was sought after with avidity, and used with the
undeviating success in the nest minute and intricate cases of
the delicate complaint, for the core of which they have been so
long celebrate The fame of these Pills throughout Germany,
caused their sp,edy introduction into almost every count vv. The
certainty with ,hich they were continually administered can be
attested by many thnesands. 'ln fact, during the !ono conti-
nental war they were the inseparable-companion and safeguard
of the,,soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of infec-
tion was entertained. What, medicine can be more appropriate
than that which hal given such general satisfaction ? The
1-lvueian Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, puri-
fying in their progress the whole mass of fluids. They not only
remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different
functions of the body expelling the grosser humour,,, and in a
manner so mild imperceptible as to convince the most
se ical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. The
neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may he
ken without the slightest suspicion of discovery—they require
r, restraint of diet, hiss of time, or hindrance of business. but
elect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient.
At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be
‘,..1.1 to have recourse to the llygeian Pills, fur when taken 'be-
fore the disease has made its appeare:nee it acts as a certain
preventive, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly.
The deplorable state in which many persons have been when
visiting ths proprietor, from the tine of mercury renders it im-
peratively necessary to caution the public against hat dangerous
mineral when injudiciously administered.
These Pills should form's portion of all "Medicine Chests. by
sea and land, and ought neverto be omitted by any l•t,sl un
a long voyage or joornev. their properties are such hAt neither
heat nor cold will injure their qtiality, or prevent
.ihe due
effects on the constitution.

Dr. Davicson will attend daily a'. hi. re.idence, from Eight in
the morning until Ten of night, (1.•1 Sundays from till
Two,) where he gives advice to alKpplicants taking any of his
preparations, WITHOUT A FEE,
