whom may be had (gratis) with each box of s their Treatise
on Venereal Disease, Gonorrhoea, Gleets, d Stricture, kin-
eluding Practical Observations on Seminal eaknem arising
from early abuses, so that all persons can obtain an immediate
Cure, with ease,, secrecy, and safety.
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 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 bones, till at length a
general debility and decay of the constitution ensues, and a
melancholy death nuts a period to their dreadful sufferings.
PERRY'S'PURIFY ING SPECIFIC PILLS, price 2s. 9d.
and Ile. per box. a certain, safe, and the most speedy remedy
ever discovered for the permanent and effectual cure of venereal
diseases,—gonorrhoea, gleets, strictures, seminal weakness,
in the loins, affections of the kidneys, gravel, lumbago, 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.
The Specific Pills root out every particle of insidious poison,
purifying in tbeir progress the whole mass of fluids. They not
only remove the disease, but renovate by their action the differ-
ent functions of- the body, expelling the grosser humnnrs. and
in a manner so mild and imperceptible as to convince the mos
sceptical of their astonishing and 'unequalled • powers. They
neither contain mercury nor any other mineral, and may be
taken without the slightest suspicion of discovery. They require
no. rest raint 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 Specific Pills, for when taken
before the disease has made its appearance 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 front the too free and indis-
criminate indulgence of the passions, which not only occasion'
a numerous train of nervous affections, and entail on its votaries
all the enervating itnhecilities of old 'age, but weaken• and
destroy all the bodily senses, occasioning loss of iinqiination,
judgment, and memory, indifference and aversion for all plea-
sures. In that distressing state of debility or deficiency, whether
the consequence of baneful habits, excessive drinking, or any
other cause, by which the powers of the constitution become
enfeebled, they offer it firm, safe, and speedy restoration to sound
and vigorous health. -
PERRY'S VEGETABLE PILLS are well known for the
certain and effectual remedy of secondary symptoms, veneteal
eruptions, pains in the bones, ulcerated sore throat, diseased
nose, chronic rheumatism, scrofula, scorbutic and glandular
affections, local and general debility, noctornal pains in the
head anti limbs, depression of spirits, and all diseases arising
' ,from an impure state of the blood.
These Pills are worthy a place in the cabinets of masters and
captains of ships, the more so, as they will keep good in all
climates any length of time.
Letters from the country, post-paid, condaininy a remittance for
medicine, will be immediately answered.
