Di% DAV I ESONcontinues to direct his attention to those dis-
orders- arising, front the too free and indiscriminate indulgence
or-the passions, which not only occasion a numerous train of
nervous affections, but also entails on its votaries all the ener-
vating imbecilities of out age. In thot distressing state of de-
bility and deficiency, whether the consequence of baneful ha
bits, excessive drinking, 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 deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the constitution,
add when the great Doctor Swedour became Professor at Ley-
den University, he conferred an invaluable benett upon man-
kind by the discovery of his grand Panacea, 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 most minute and intricate cases of
the delicate complaint, for the cure of which they have been so
long celebrated. The fame of these Pillsthroughout Germany,
causest their speedy introduction into almost every country_ . The
certainty with which they were continually administered can be
attested by many thousands. In fact, ditring the long conti,
rental war they were the inseparable companion and safeguard
of the soldier, in all cases where the slightest suspicion of Met-.
tion was entertained. What medicine can he more appropriate
than that which hasgiven such general satisfaction? The Vgf.
ian Herb Pills root out every particle of insidious poison, puri-
fying in their progress the whole mass c.f fluids. They not only
remove the disease, but renovate by their action the different
functions of the body ekpelling the grosser humours, and iii a
manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the most
sceptical of their astonishing and unequalled powers. The
neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may he
taken without the slightest sispicion of discovery—they require
no restraint of diet, loss of time, or hindrance of business. but
effect a complete cure, without the least exposure to the patient.
At any period when the slightest suspicion may exist, it will he
well to have recourse to the Ilygeian Herb- VMS, for when taken
before the disease hattnade its appearance it acts as a certain
preventive, by moving the complaint effectually and -secretly.
The deplorable state in which many persons have been when
Visiting the proprietof, fiern the use of mercury, renders it im-
peratively necess.ary to caution the public against that dangerous
mineral when injudiciously_ administered.

It is a melancholy fact, that thousands fall victims to the Vet
nereal Disease, owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate men,
who, by the use of that deadly poison, Mercury, ruin the con-
stitution, 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 hones, till at length a
general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a
melancholy death puts a period to their dreadful sufferings.

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 appearanee it acts as a certain
preventative, by moving the complaint effectually and secretly.
Messrs. PERRY, Surgeons, continue to direct their studies
to those dreadful debilities arising from the too free and India-
