have appeared in the Conftitution. In fuch cafes it will remove that febrile difpofition, and hectic heat, commonly called Gallimania; and, by a few dofes, the patient finds himself perfectly free from all complaints of weakness or indigeftion, except that he may poffibly be troubled occafionally with acidities at the ftomach, which however feldom happens, except when he indulges in high seasoned French dishes. Its deobftruent qualities are admitted on all hands; and it is faid to reconcile the palate to the groffest and most naufeous food, and to krengthen the tone of the ftomach in fuch a manner, that nothing can be too hard for digeftion.

The Proprietor begs leave to affure the Public, that there is no Mercury in the compofition; although it is apt to promote very copious difcharge of faliva. He trufts that it is unneceffary to enlarge any farther upon its particular ufes; but he cannot refift the prefent opportunity of making known its fingular efficacy in nervous cafes, as will appear by the teftimonies fubjoined; and affures the Public, that the ingredients are of fo fimple a nature, that it has been administered with perfect fafety and fuccefs to children.

"HAVING received great benefit from the ufe of your incomparable Specific, in a disorder with which I was moft grievoufly afflicted, I think it a duty, as well to the public as to yourfelf, to bear my teftimony to its merits. I have fuffered much from a cutaneous eruption, which I attribute partly to the company I have lately been accustomed to keep, and partly to a poverty of blood, as is frequently the cafe with gentlemen of my country. The palms of my hands itched to fuch a degree, that I was compelled to try every medicine that

At laft, I had recourse to your inimitable Specific, which has completely cured me, and which I have endeavoured to circulate as far as I was able amongst my friends, feveral of whom have been afflicted with the like difeafe. You are therefore authorized to publifh this teftimony, which I freely and readily give to a difcovery that promifes to be of fuch general ufe.
