pills their Treatise on Venereal Disease, Gonorthwa. Gleets,
and Stricture, including Practical Observations on Seminal
Weakness, arising from early abuses, so that all persons can
obtain an immediate Cure, with ease, secrecy, and safety.
It is a melancholy fatt, that thousands fall iictims to the
Venereal Disease owing to the unskilfulness of illiterate
men, who, by the use of that deadly 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 shinbones, till
at length a general debility and decay of the constitution
ensues, and a melancholy death puts a period to their dread-
ful sufferines.

PERRY'S PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s.
9d. and Ils. per box, a certain, safe, and the most speedy re-
medy ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of
venereal diseases, gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, semina-
weakness, in the loins, affections 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, secresy, and safety. The certainty
with which they are continually administered can be attested
by many thousands. Toe 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 hu‘nours. 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 com-
plete cure, without the least exposure to the patient. At any
period when the slightest suspicionmay exist, it will be well
to have recourse to the Specific Pills, for when taken before
moving the complaint effectually
.and secretly.
