It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the
Venereal Disease 'wing to the exitkilfulness of illiterate
men, who, by the use of that dea4jy poison, Mercury, ruin
the constitution, and cause ulcerations, with blotches on the
head, face, and body, dimness in the sight, noise in the ears,
deafness, obstinate gleets, and nodes on the shin bones, till
at length a general debility and decay of the constitution
ensues. and a melancholy death puts a period to their dread-
ful sufferings.

PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s.
9d. and Ils. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy re-
medy ever discovered fur the permanent and effectual cure of
venereal diseases, gonorrhcta, gleets, strictures. semina-
weakness, in the loins, uffections of the kidneys, gravel, lum-
bago, local debility, irritation of the bladder or urethra, and
other diseases of the urinary passages, frequently performing
a perfect cure in the short space of three days, by one small
pill for a dose, with ease, secrecy, and safety. The certainty
with which they are continually administered can be attested

by many thousands. Tne SpeCific Pills root out every parti-
cle of insidious poison, purifying in their progress the whole
mass of fluids. They not only remove the disease, but reno-
vate by their action the different functions of the body. ex-
pelling the grosser huthours. and in a manner so mild and
imperceptible as to convince the most sceptical of their asto-
nishing and unequalled powers. They neither contain mer-
cury nor any other mineral, and may be taken without the
slightest suspicion of discovery. They require no restraint of
diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business, but effect a corn
pletecnre, without the least exposure to the patient. At any
period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will be well
to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before
the disease has made its appearance it acts as a certain pre-
ventative, by shoving the complaint effectually and secretly.
Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their stu-
dies to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and
indiscriminate indulgence of the passions, which not only
occasion a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail
on its votaries all the enervating imbecilities of old age, but
weaken and 'destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of
imagination, judgment, and memory, indifference and aver-
sion for all pleasures. In that distressing state of debility or
deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful habits, exces-
sive drinking, or any other cause, by which the powers of
the constitution become enfeebled, they offer a firm, safe, and
speedy restorati n to sound and vigorous health.
PERRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for
the certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms,
venereal eruptions, pains in the hones, ulcerated sore throat,
diseased nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, scorbutic and
glandular affections, local and general debility, nocturnal
pains in the head and limbs, depression of spirits, and all
diseases Arising from an imptire 'state-of- the b100d...
