FEMALE RESTORER.

THE subscriber is fully aware how
little confidence is placed by The public
IN the numerous nostrums offered to them,
but he can assure them that that which
he now offers to their nsideration is a
specific of certain efficacy, which he has
fully tested in his practice.
1t is well known to all, particularly
gentlemen of the profession, how tedious
and frequently unsuccessful the most of
the prescriptions that have hitherto been
used IN Female complaints are-such as
distractions of the Terms-Cachexia,
Green sickness, &c. &c.
The subscriber has the happiness of
Informing the afflicted that he has in his
possession Medicine that surpasses all
others that has ever fell under his notice
for the cure of the above diseases. 1t is
particularly so to all distractions of the
Liver-Spleen. Mesentery and Womb
and an unrivalled adjunct in the cure of
Dropsy.
The subscriber strongly recommends
Medical gentlemen to give it trial, be-
ing convinced if once introduced into
practice it would become one of the most
popular medicines of the day.
individuals suffering under either of
the above complaints would do well to
call upon the subscriber personally, or
address him by letter, stating particularly
their disease-how long they have been
afflicted &c.-enclosing his fee of Five
Dollars. (Letters post paid,) on the re-
ceipt of which the Medicine and direc,
tons will be forwarded as per ORDER

His residence is about one mile South

tons of Mrs Sigourney's pen have probably
been the most useful works of the day, and
will retain their rank among the chosen vol
umes of every domestic library, pcrpetualing
the virtue which cherishcs them. The great
charm of these writings Is, that while others
are striving to fill the head with new ideas,
by familiar treatiscs on subjects in themselves
abtruse, these attempt with success the cul
ture of the heart. We cannot too earnestly
recommend to motheH, eagerly to avail them
