On, WHITWELL'S ORIGINAL
OPODELDOC,

Ono bottle Of sohich is warranted to contain 3
times the strength Of the HARD kind.
YHNHlS article is considered by the first ply
IL sicans in the United States, to rank high
er than any other composition in existence, for
the following complaints, viz: Bruises, Sprains,
Gout, Rheumatism, Cramp, Numbness, Weak
ness or Stiffness OF the Neck or Joints, Chill
blains, Chapped Hands, Stings of Insects, Veg.
etable Poisons, &c. &c. 1t is applied both to
man and beast.
N. Z. There are in the United States not
ss than fifty limitations Of this article, IA pref
ty good evidence of the worth of the original
but the public ought to be acquainted with the
fact, that ins-tenths Of these pretended imita-
the name of Liquid Opodeldoe" are little else
than hard soap, and a small quantity of cham
phor dissolved in whiskey or new rum.
To encourage ignorant and bold pretenders,
is to ccuntenance imposture ; TO purchasers OF
this class, time and experience will teach wis.
dom. Prudence, in all cases, is a desirable viz.
tue but the saving of few cents in phia of
medicine is pilifnl economy, and may lead to
worse consequence than the loss of the money.
The idea of preferring physician because
he was q cheap one, would be considered q
mark Of insanity. To prefer one medicine to
another because it costs less, is equally adverse
" SOuUu luuHmCHL dilu CoAAiuOil sCHbo, tb UULn
casss ife and limb are at stake. No person
could use the same ingredients and afford the
article at a less price. A knowledge of this
composition, however, is known only to the
the proprietor and TO the physician whose GER
t6cato accompanies it.
Also, may be had Of the original and sole
Proprietor, the VOLATILE AROMATIC
SNUFF, for many years celebrated in cases of
Catarrh, Headache, Dizziness, Dimness of Eye
sight, Drowsiness, Lowness of Spirits, Hypo-
condria, Nervous Weakness, &c. 1t is most
fragrant and grateful TO the smell, being mostly
composed of roots and aromatic herbs 1t is
absolutely necessary for all those who watch
with or visit the sick. Price 50 cts and Is cts.
WHITWELL'S BITTERS,-a most eff.
cacious and wonderful cordial medicine, for
Dyspepsia, Jaundice, Sickness Of the Stomach,
Flatulence, Want ofAppetite, &c. They give
a tone to the solids, enrich the blood, and in.
vigorate the whole system. No tavern should
be without them. Price 12k cents a paper.
The Purgatips POWDERS are highly important
in all the above complaints, and should in most
cases be used with the Bitters.
