The efficacy of Dr. Church's cough drops, demonstrated in the cure of coughs, colds, asthmas & consumptions, invented and prepared by James Church, M.D. [Nine lines of quotations] : Illustrated with many remarkable and authentic facts. : To which is added, important information to the afflicted with rheumatism, lumbago, palsy, sprains, bruises, numbness, gout, rheumatic gout, itch, diseases of the eyes, nervous disorders, hysteric, epileptic, and other kinds of fits, inward weaknesses, head-ache, corns, worms, scurvy, &c. : The medicines are sold genuine, (wholesale only) by the inventor and sole proprietor, Dr. James Church, at his dispensary, New-York; and by his appointment, at the places mentioned on the cover of this pamphlet.

ON THE EFFICACY OF Church's Cough Drops, &c.

PERHAPS no remedy in the whole history of medicine ever ac|quired greater celebrity than CHURCH'S COUGH DROPS, which is proved to be a perfect cure for COUGHS, COLDS, ASTH|MAS, CONSUMPTIONS and the HOOPING COUGH; and no wonder, since upwards of three hundred thousand persons have al|ready experienced its happy and salutary effects, many of whom have been impelled by motives of gratitude, and for a laudable regard for their fellow men suffering under the similar complaints, to publish their respective cases to the world; therein exhibiting such astonish|ing proofs of its incomparable virtues, as are totally unexampled, and occasioning a demand for the medicine hitherto unparalleled.

Very many of the patients who have been restored to health by these drops had been reduced by long standing and increasing Con|sumptive and Asthmatic complaints to the brink of the grave, after having used every remedy recommended as specific for those com|plaints, and receiving every advice and assistance from the Faculty they could obtain.

The principal qualities of this medicine are an Expectorant, a de|mulient, an Antispasmodic, a Corroborant, an Anodyne and a Tonic: also an enlivener of the spirits, and a restorer of the appetite, by a removal of the affection which suspends it. It gives almost imme|diate liberty of respiration in the highest paroxism of the asthma, without a danger of subjecting the patient to take cold; it directly eases the lacerating soreness of the breast occasioned by coughing: in obstructions of the glands, and in removing that acrimony of the fluids, (particularly in that species of cold termed a Catarrh) which corrodes the lungs, and if not timely prevented, is productive of the most fatal consequences.

Even in the most desperate cases, which experience has proved a cure to be impracticable, and where the whole internal system has been actually decayed, these drops surprisingly comfort and relieve the patient, not only by giving ease to the cough and breath, but by

promoting sleep, stimulating the appetite, enlivening the spirits and consequently prolonging life, of which all men are so naturally desirous.

COMMON COLDS, which are generally occasioned by an obstructed perspiration, will be found to yield to its benign influence in a few hours. In common Coughs, which are in general the effect of COLD, it gives immediate relief, removing those troublesome irritations, or, as they are called, ticklings in the throat, so tormenting in this com|plaint, and which acts as a constant stimulus to coughing; it quiets those convulsive excitements, and causing the afflicted to breathe and speak freely; it procures rest and sleep in an eminent degree, and strengthens the constitution, which enables it to repel an enemy, whose attacks are frequently followed by the most fatal consequences.

Persons afflicted with PULMONARY COMPLAINTS, or disorders of the BREAST and LUNGS, (even in the most advanced state, and the most advanced period of life) will find instant relief.

In ASTHMATIC or CONSUMPTIVE Affections (recent or chronic) HOARSENESS, CATARRHS, WHEEZINGS and SHORTNESS OF BREATH, it will give immediate ease.

It is also admirable in SORENESS of the BREAST and STOMACH, giving present ease in these cases.

In the HOOPING COUGH it remains without a rival; a few instances only are selected from a numerous list to prove its efficacy.

It has been the instrument in the hands of Providence, of curing many thousands of poor afflicted objects, both Asthmatic and Con|sumptive, not excluding some of thirty years standing, (see the case of Mr. Williams) and in most of the confirmed cases, where a cure could possibly be effected by medicines, it has wonderfully alleviat|ed the complaints, so as to enable the patient to attend to business, and to render their lives in a great degree comfortable to themselves.

It operates by gentle expectoration, and may be given to women with child, and to infants with the greatest safety.

The following cases are subjoined as proofs of its efficacy, selected from a number amounting to upwards of ONE THOUSAND!

Copy of a letter from Captain Henry, to Dr. Church.

Dear Sir,

In the year 1795, I had the misfortune to break a blood vessel, which was suc|ceeded by a severe complaint on my lungs, cough, shortness of breath, and spitting up of matter and blood, with every other disagreeable symptom of a disorder of the lungs; indeed so afflicting was this disorder, that I could not rest at night, nor could walk 200 yards in the day, without stopping to cough and rest myself a number of times. This disorder continued to increase upon me, till I was much wasted in body, and exceedingly weak. Seeing your advertisement in the public papers, early in the last summer, I commenced taking your justly celebrated cough drops, which I persevered in the use of for some time; I have now the happiness of informing you, my lungs are perfectly sound; I have no shortness of breath, or spitting of matter or blood; my cough is a little troublesome in the morning, but no other time.

I am Sir, Your's ever respectfully, WILLIAM HENRY.

Dear Sir,

Conceiving the discovery you have made to be of the greatest magnitude, I mean your Cough Drops, and being conscious I should do wrong both to you and to mankind, if I witheld my public approbation of the medicine from the world, I have submitted it to you—I have from my infancy been very severely afflicted with an asthmatic affection, cough, difficulty of breathing, &c. &c. for which I have in addi|tion to my own knowledge, employed the first Physicians in England, indeed I par|ticularly availed myself of the opportunity▪ (during my studies at the London Hospital) of consulting the Physicians there, (Dr. Dennison under whom you was a pupil) Dr. Cook, Messrs. Blizard and Orange, &c. none of whose prescriptions afforded me more than temporary relief. I however was determined to try the effi|cacy of your medicine, and am happy to inform you I found present and very sin|gular relief from it, and by continuing its use occasionally I doubt not but I shall enjoy good health.

With respect, I am, dear Sir, Yours, &c. R. CORNER, M. D.

ANOTHER STRONG PROOF Of the great and unparalleled Efficacy of Dr. Church's Cough Drops in the Cure of COLDS, COUGHS, ASTHMAS, and CONSUMPTIONS, New-York, July 10, 1798. TO DR. CHURCH,

Sir,

For upwards of Twelve Years, I have labored under a severe Cough, shortness of breath, spitting of matter from my lungs and often clotted blood, till at length I was so reduced as to be unable to walk across my room, and owing to the violence of my cough and shortness of breath could get no rest day or night. Hearing of your excellent medicine, the Cough Drops, I procured a bottle: I took a dose as soon as I got it, from which I found instantaneous relief, and by continuing it for three days, I bless God I am restored to perfect health. As I believe you to have been the instrument in the hands of Providence of saving my life, I must entreat you to pub|lish this for the benefit of any who may be in my situation, as I am confident it is one of the best medicines in the world for those complaints.

I am Sir, Your grateful servant, NICHOLAS STAGG.

Sir,

It is with much pleasure I congratulate you on that important discovery, your COUGH DROPS, and request that you will send me a farther supply without delay. The favorable reports brought to me the two last winters of their speedy and good effects, in the relief and cure of Coughs and Asthmatic complaints, induced me to employ them in my practice, which I have done with much satisfaction to myself and benefit to others.

If the good opinion I entertain of your medicine can recommend it to public notice, beyond what it has already acquired, you are at liberty to make the same known. Indeed I should hold myself unjust to you and uncharitable to mankind, did I not with great willingness acknowledge that I believe it to be one of the best medicines ever employed in Pulmonary Complaints, I sincerely wish you may de|rive every emolument the medicine entitle you to.

Letter from Baron Montrose, Esq. Devonshire street, Portland place, London, addressed to Dr. Church.

Dear Sir,

As you think the publication of my case may tend to your good, I cheerfully consent to your making use of it, out of respect to you, as well for the benefit of mankind, as I think it cannot be too universally known. In the year 1779, I caught a severe cold, which settled upon my lungs—this brought on a violent cough, pain and tightness across my breasts and shortness of breath: I used to expec|torate a frothy, though latterly a quantity of glutinous matter, which owing to the violence of the cough, used sometimes to be mixed with blood. I have had the advice of some of the first Physicians in England, whose prescriptions afforded me little more than temporaay relief. In consequence of hearing that Col. GLOVER, of Portland-place, had been astonishingly relieved by taking your Cough Drops, was induced (having before an aversion to advertised remedies) to give your medi|cine a fair trial, and am happy to make known to the world, that I am restored to perfect health by taking it, after having suffered a martyrdom for upwards of 16 years.

I am, dear Sir, your's sincerely, B. MONTROSE.

This deponent further maketh oath and saith, that seeing many remarkable cures, similar to his published by Dr. James Church, of the Ci|ty Road, said to be effected by his Cough Drops, was induced to investigate into the truth of the same, which he did to his satisfaction: which induced him to make trial of them, which he did; from the first dose he found present relief, and by the said Church's Cough Drops he is now perfectly cured, to the great astonishment of all his friends and neighbours, and is better in health than ever he was in his life.

Sir,

Having been recently restored from the brink of the grave, by your invaluable medicine, I think it my duty to make this public acknowledgement of the same, for the benefit of others afflicted with a similar complaint. I had been afflicted with a most dreadful Asthma, for about twenty three years. I never for years got a moment's rest, my cough was so troublesome in the night; and used to discharge an almost incredible quantity of glutinous matter from my lungs; and my breath so exceeding short that I could not walk from one door to another. Providentially hearing of your Cough Drops, I took them; and through taking them alone, I am now, bles|sed be God! restored to perfect health. My case is well known to the members of the Ebenezar Chapel, in Lincoln's-Inn-Fields, of which I am also a member; and any of them will gladly satisfy any inquiry concerning the truth of what I say.

Sir,

I have been afflicted for upwards of nineteen years with a most violent cough and shortness of breath, and constantly expectorated a quantity of glutinous matter, which sometimes used to be streaked with blood. I tried every remedy recom|mended as specifics for those complaints, but found no relief whatever. Among many others I took three pints of the famous Vegetable Balsam, which did me no good. A friend of mine came to visit me here, where I am for the benefit of the air, and brought me a bottle of your Cough Drops, which he purchased at Tutt's, at the Royal-Exchange. The first dose gave me present relief; and by taking the whole bottle, I was so much better as to be able to walk to my house in town. When it was all gone I sent to your house for a double bottle, and it agreed with me so well, that I sent for a bottle containing six, which has perfectly cured me, thanks be to God for it! I am here at present, as I think the air agrees with me very well, but shall shortly come to town again.

Sir,

My case which is nearly as follows, I give you full liberty to pub••ish for the be|nefit of others, as you think proper. About eight years ago I caught a most violent void, which brought with it a dreadful cough and shortness of breath, and which has encreased upon me ever since: at first it was only troublesome to me in cold thick foggy weather, but within th••••e last few years it was a trouble to 〈◊〉〈◊〉 both

summer and winter, day and night, insomuch that I was scarce able to do any thing, or even to walk about. I applied to many eminent in the practice of physic, whose prescriptions I took with patience, but nothing that I ever took relieved my breath: I despaired of ever being in any degree relieved. My cough in spite of all the medicines and other things that I took, still continued to torment me exceedingly, till by chance happening to hear of your celebrated Cough Drops, I took a dose of it and found instantaneous relief, and by continuing it for about ten days, I was happily rid both of cough and shortness of breath, and am as well as ever I was in my life.

Sir,

I Have been afflicted with a severe asthma for upwards of twenty years, but this winter, owing to the intenseness of the weather, I suffered more than any preceding winter; my cough was violent ••ndeed, and with the greatest difficulty imaginable I drew my breath. I constantly expectorated a quantity of glutinous matter, of a most disagreeable saltish taste and foetid smell. I was always attended by some gentleman of the faculty or another, having tried many; which, beside doing me no good at all, cost me an immense sum of money.—I was at last reduced so low, as not to be able to be lifted out of my bed, nor was I expected to live a day. A friend got me a bottle of your Drops, hearing an extraordinary account of them: the first dose I took did me more good than all the medicines I had taken for twen|ty years together—it eased my breath almost instantaneously, and quieted my cough; after which I had a good night's rest, a blessing I had not enjoyed for years, and by repeating them I am now, through divide providence, perfectly free from complaint, and will gladly testify the truth of the same to any enquirer.

Sir,

For public good I desire you will publish the following cure, recently effected on myself by your invaluable medicine. I had been afflicted for a long time with a dreadful cough, shortness of breath, soreness and tightness at my stomach, and my body was so swelled and puffed up with wind, and at the same time my stomach was so clogged with phlegm, that it was with difficulty I could draw my breath, and was often threatened with suffocation. In this dreadful situation I was providentially visited by the Collector of the Excise at Southampton, who re|commended me to the immediate use of your Cough Drops, which I sent for to your dispensary, and through the instrumentality of one large bottle, I am perfectly cured of all my disorders. It immediately relieved the cough and shortness of breath, and operated by gentle expectoration, discharging the viscid phlegm from my stomach, healed the soreness, and expelled the wind in a wonderful manner; and indeed, I believe it has not its parallel in the world.

I am your's, respectfully, STEPHEN STEPHENS.

Impressed with a grateful sense of obligations, I mus•• ••ecessarily be under to you for your great skill in asthmatic disorders; I beg leave to trouble you with an ac|count of a most astonishing cure, which your valuable and justly celebrated Cough Drops have wrought upon me. I had been long afflicted with an Asthma, and was long a stranger to ease and rest for even one moment; for I never dared to lie down in my bed, but was always propped up by pillows, or I should be suffocat|ed; the phlegm used to rise in my throat, and my breath was so extremely short, and often when in the most violent fits of coughing, every body who saw me expect|ed I should he choaked. This disorder rendered my life a burthen to me, so that I could say with antient Job, that my life was loathsome to me, for in the night I was literally full of tossings to and fro, and when it was night I wished it was morn|ing, and in the morning I wished it was night, to add to this, I was attended by men eminent in the practice of physic, who could do nothing for me. Hearing of your Cough Drops I had a desire to try them, for which I have reason to bless Di|vine Providence, for they have perfectly cured me, to the astonishment of every bo|dy who knew me, and am now, through taking these alone, as well as ever I was in my life.

ON THE EFFICACY OF DR. CHURCH's Cordial Restorative Balsam.

BALSAMS, it is universally admitted, are more friendly to the constitution than any other class of the Materia Medica.

Many of the most enlightened physicians assert, that

Bal|samic Medicines are of extensive use in physic, and their vir|tues

superior to those of any other class, being suited to all constitutions and calculated to remove many diseases.

This excellent Restorative is prepared at a considerable ex|pence, from the choicest, richest, and most valuable Balsams in the worid, joined with a collection of the most useful corrobo|rants, all happily suited for restoring the most emaciated and de|bilitated constitutions; its incomparable virtues have been ex|perienced by thousands in Europe, the West Indies and America, in the Cure of NERVOUS DISORDERS, LOSS OF APPETITE, FEMALE COMPLAINTS, INWARD WEAKNESSES, LOWNESS OF SPIRITS, SEMINAL WEAKNESSES, INDIGESTION, DE|CAYED, WEAK, RELAXED or DEBILITATED CONSTITU|TIONS, PAINS IN THE LIMBS, POVERTY OF BLOOD, SINKINGS, ANXIETIES and TREMORS, which so dreadfully affect the weak, the sedentary, and the delicate, BILIOUS DIS|ORDERS, every symptom of extreme debility, attendant on the indiscretions of youth, the consequences of a dissipated life, ex|cess of pleasure or grief, change of climate, the immoderate use of tea, hard drinking, or any intemperance; diseases incident to young women, i.••. Irregularities, the Flor Albus or Whites, Pains in the Head with a sense of weight across the eyes, Giddi|ness, Pains in the Stomach, &c.

It is particularly adapted to women in a weak state, either in consequence of an immoderate flux of the customary evacuations, bad lyings-in, or any other cause; it is of infinite service to wo|men at a certain period of life.

THE CORDIAL RESTORATIVE BALSAM Is recommended as a Medicine of specific and unparalleled virtues for the immediate relief and speedy and permanent cure of the above disorders, having stood a trial of many successful years, during which period many thousands of both sexes have been restored from the brink of the grave.

This Balsam is particularly adapted to weak Female Constitu|tions, as well as to the phlegmatic habits in general; it acts pow|erfully as a nervine, not only to the weak stomach, but to the whole nervous system; corrects a vitiated appetite and digestion in the first passages, and assists wonderfully in recovering the tone of the urinary and genital organs.—Hence its efficacy in the obstinate seminal gleets in men, and corresponding weaknesses in women; and hence it will contribute more safely, surely and honorably towards conjugal happiness, than any of those irritat|ing, diabolical compositions, which are so shamefully admini|stered to the unwary.

It is earnestly recommended to those ladies, who from repeated and difficult labours, are afflicted with weaknesses and infirmi|ties; in which cases it is highly useful, strengthening at the same time the stomach, the back, the weakened organs, and the whole constitution.

Those, who in advanced life, feel the consequences of youthful excess, or unfortunate youth, who have brought on themselves a numerous train of evils, will by the use of this, find themselves restored to health and strength, and all the melancholy symptoms removed, which are the general effects of such causes.

For whether the system has received a shock, and is debilitated from imprudencies or inattention in the earliest part of life, or is sinking under the advance of youth, a few doses of this Medicine will afford immediate assurance of returning health and strength, by giving tone to the muscular system, and organs or digestion, and by ••enovating the whole constitution.

To the young it will afford lasting health, strength and spirits, in place of lassitude and debility: and to the aged and infirm, it will assuredly furnish great relief and comfort, by gently and safely invigorating the system: it will not give immortality; but if it be in the power of Medicine to gild the autumn of declining years, and calmly and serenely protract the close of life beyond its narrow span, this Restorative is capable of effecting that grand desideratum.

Constitutions relaxed, weak or decayed, in men or women, are under the immediate influence of this Restorative.

Old coughs, soon relieved, and speedily cured. Poverty of blood and emaciated limbs, will ere long meet the happiest change; the chill watery fluid become ••••ch and balsamic, and the limbs be covered with flesh, firm and healthful.

It will no doubt be acceptable to the reader, to see accounts of some of the remarkable cases and cures which have been per|formed by this truly invaluable medicine, in the disorders for which it was invented; he has therefore selected a few of such cases as have come within his own immediate knowledge, which are published and may be had (gratis) at any of the places where the Medicine is sold.

The following Letter was written to Dr. Church a short time ago; it affords an addi|tional proof of the extraordinary good effects of this Medicine.

Sir,

The inclosed is an exact statement of my wife's disorders when I first applied to you, and took your Medicines. I have sent it for the satisfaction of those who wish to see it in her own hand-writing, as delicacy forbids her inserting her name, &c. in full length.

THE CASE.

I have labored under a severe Nervous Disorder upwards of Thirteen Years, at|tended with extreme weakness, pain in my limbs, swimming and pain in my head, a violent oppression at my stomach, particularly after eating, no appetite, but a loathing of food, wind at my stomach; and what affected me most was, an almost continual weakness upon me, which affected me extremely, and reduced me to a mere skeleton. I had tried several eminent doctors without receiving any benefit, till I took your Medicine, the Restorative Balsam: from the first Bottle I found great relief, and by persevering in its use only six weeks, I bless God, I am as well as ever I was in my life, being perfectly free from any of the above complaints.

H. H—.

London, Dec. 29, 1796, No. 23, Tottenham-street.

Mrs. C—, aged 48 years, labored under the most severe affliction for seve|ral years, it being a very critical period with her. Her body at times was very much swelled, her head greatly disordered; confused thoughts, pains at the pit of the stomach, frequent vomiting of bile, nervous trembling, pain and weakness in her back and loins, very little desire to eat, but very thirsty, frequent lan|guor and faintings, great oppression at the stomach, severe cough and shortness of breath and wind. After taking a great deal of Medicines for many years, pre|scribed for her by Physicians of eminence to very little purpose, she made applica|tion to Dr. Church, City Road, who recommended his Cordial Restorative Bal|sam, &c. to her, who, after taking it perseveringly for about two months, received a perfect cure, and now enjoys a good state of health.

Mrs. A—, owing to very severe treatment in her lying in, laboured under a very bad weakness for several years, and was from that period unable to hold her water, and was otherwise much afflicted: she took the Restorative Balsam and De|coction of Bark, by the recommendation of Dr. Church, and by which she was soon effectually cured and now enjoys a good state of health.

The following Letter, addressed to Dr. Church, signed by the person, may be seen by any one who will take the trouble to call on the proprietor:

"Dear Sir,

"No symptom whatever of my disorder has been withheld from you, while I was under your care; yet I think it necessary to speak particularly, in case you should think proper to publish this Letter, for I should think myself unjust to you, and to my fellow creatures, was I not to acknowledge publicly the great benefit I have received from your excellent Medicine, the RESTORATIVE BALSAM, &c. I suffered the most extreme debility for seven years, that I think any human being could to exist. I was 16 years of age when I was first attacked with violent pains about my stomach, back, loins, knees, calves of my legs, and my head. The pain in my head used to seize me so that it was with difficulty I could either stand or keep my seat: a violent trembling used at times to affect me, as if I had an ague. No appetite, but I loathed the sight of food, a very bad cough, and spitting up of matter, sickness in a morning, frequent faintings, and a great discharge from my penis. I seldom got any sleep that did me any good: for when I had any at all, I was so terrified with frightful dreams and startings, that it did not seem to refresh me at all. In short, so great was my affliction, and so greatly was I reduced and wasted away, that I looked more like a ghost than a living body. After many fruitless applications to Gentlemen of the Faculty, both in town and country, where I have occasionally been sent for the benefit of the air, with no other than temporary relief: I made application to you, through the recommendation of a gentleman who is a draftsman in the Tower, and am happy to declare to the world, that I am now, and have been these two years, in a perfect state of health, through taking that incomparable Medicine, your Restorative Balsam, and accompanying Medicines, which you by your great skill, advised me to take occasionally. Wish|ing you every benefit so excellent a Medicine entitles you to, I remain,

Dear Sir,

Feb. 9, 1797.

Miss M. A—, aged 17 years, was committed to Dr. Church's care, after hav|ing laboured under the most severe afflictions, ever since she was 14 years old, and after taking an immense quantity of medicines from several gentlemen eminent in the practice of physic to no effect.

Her chief complaint were, nausea or sickness, no appetite, a very great weak|ness upon her, very irregular, frequent pains about the lower part of her body, head, loins, &c. &c. lowness of spirits, a dislike to any exercise, her legs used frequently to swell towards night, owing to the great debility which she suffered, her complexion was very yellow and sickly. In short, her constitution was so de|bilitated, that her life was despaired of.

By the advice of Dr. Church, she took the RESTORATIVE BALSAM, &c. and found present and very singular relief, and by continuing to take it for a short time is effectually cured, and is now quite free from any of the above disorders, and i, in good health and spirits.

FOR THE CURE OF FITS. The Patent Antispasmodic Elixir. Convulsion, Epileptic, Hysteric, or Falling Fits,

ARE effectually cured by this Medicine. Its virtues are absolutely specific and unparalleled. It has failed in no instance within the knowledge of the proprietor (when taken agreeable to the directions, and perseverance) the most dreadful Fits ever known. One case of cure only is subjoined out of a considerable number, as proof of its efficacy, attested before the Lord Mayor of London.

They would generally last me five, six, and often seven hours; in consequence of which my constitution became quite emaciated. I made application to several eminent gentlemen of the faculty, who afforded me no relief whatever; till I applied to Dr. James Church, of the City Road, who prescribed his Antispasmodic Elixir for me, which I took, and alone cured me of the most dreadful fits, and restored me to perfect health. This deponent further ma|keth oath, and saith, that it is now two years since he was first cured of his fits, and he has had no return whatever of them since.

Roger Sharp, of Catharine Wheel-alley, Bishopsgate-street, was dreadfully af|flicted with most severe Convulsive Cramp Fits, for upwards of Fifteen Years, to such a violent degree, as 〈◊〉〈◊〉 occasion a general distortion of his limbs, his Fits en|creasing to three, four, and five in a day, which rendered him incapable for a long time of doing any thing to support himself; was a long time an out-patient in Guy's Hospital, and discharged as incurable; he also took every Medicine that various professional gentlemen prescribed for him, to no purpose; he applied to Dr. Church early in the month of February last, who put him immediately under a course of his Antispasmodic Elixir; and▪ from the first bottle, he found very great relief, and has not had a single Fit since taking the first dose of the Medicine; and is better in health and spirits than ever he was.

To DR. CHURCH.

Dear Sir,

Agreeable to your request, I send you the Case of my Sister, who for a long time was dreadfully afflicted with the most severe Fits that could afflict human na|ture,

which came at first through a fright: these Fits encreased upon her to a very great degree. She used often to have four, and sometimes eight or nine in a day, particularly at the change and full of the Moon, which at length rendered it im|proper for her to be left alone. As they grew more and more violent, she was un|der the care of Dr. S—, whose Medicines did not afford her the least relief whatever. She was also placed under the care of several other Professional Gen|tlemen, who could render her no 〈◊〉〈◊〉 aid whatever. Hearing of your great skill in curing all kinds of Fits, she made application to you for advice; and I am happy to testify thus publicly, that she was effectually cured by your Patent Antis|pasmodic Elixir, in two months; nor has she had any return of her Fits since, al|though now Two Years ago. Any further enquiries that may be made concerning this great cure, I shall be happy to answer at any time.

I am, dear Sir, Your obedient humble servant, ANN HUGHES.

Great Trinity-Lane, Jan. 19, 1797.

Mrs. Nightengale was afflicted with the most violent Convulsion Fits, from her infancy, for her mother bred her with them. She was never a single day without them, from the day of her nativity up to the age of twenty-five years, when she applied to Dr. Church, through the recommendation of Mr. Langdale, Grocer, corner of Leonard street, Tabernacle-walk, Finsbury square, who was well con|vinced Dr. Church could cure her, if it was in the power of medicine to effect it. Mrs. N. took the Patent Antispasmodic Elixir; and from the first dose, found great relief, and by persevering in its use for a few weeks, was perfectly and effectually cured, and has had no return of her Fits, although it is now Four Years ago.

March 2, 1797.

Mrs. Wolcot, of Manchester, in a letter to Dr. Church, dated December 3, 1796, informs him, that she has witnessed the cures of two young Ladies (sisters,) in the neighbourhood of Manchester, who were dreadfully afflicted with Hysteric Fits for Five Years, and were effectually cured by taking the Patent Antispasmodic Elixir for two months, they neither of them had a Fit since taking the first dose of the Elixir, at certain periods when they expected to have their Fits, they fainted away once only; but were not insensible two minutes. They are now in perfect health, and have had no return whatever of them since.

FOR THE CURE OF CORNS. Infallible German Corn Plaister.

HEAD-ACHE.

PERSONS afflicted with the Head-Ache, proceeding from whatever cause, will find instant relief in the application of Dr. Church's ANODYNE ES|SENCE;

in Rheumatic, Nervous and Billious Head-Aches, it has not its equal. It not only alleviates that tormenting Pain, but removes it almost instantaneously. The Head-Ache occasioned by hard Drinking, and any local pain in any other part of the body or extremities, are by its application effectually removed.

CASES OF CURE.

To DR. CHURCH.

Dear Sir,

I have been subject to a very severe Head-Ache, for several years, which some|times used to afflict me to such a violent degree, as to disable me from attending my duty as Draftsman of the Tower, for several days together. I have had the ad|vice of several eminent Physicians in this city and in Wales, and have tried many other Remedies, recommended to me, without effect. Being one day extremely indisposed with the HEAD-ACHE, as usual I sent for you, when you recommended your ANODYNE ESSENCE to me, which I applied, and which removed the pain as soon as I applied it. I frequently repeated the use of it, and am happy to inform you, I have had no return of it.

I am, dear Sir, your obedient Servant, JOHN BARNES.

Drawing-Room, Tower of London, May 9, 1795.

Another gentleman in his Majesty's service, in the Tower of London, had been extremely afflicted with the Head-Ache for some years, and sometimes to so violent a degree, as to prevent him from attending the duties of his office; at one of which times, he sent for some of Dr. CHURCH's ANODYNE ESSENCE, which he applied, and which removed the pain instantaneously; and he is happy in affirming, that he has had no return of the pain since.

The above gentleman, whose name and address may be known at the place of sale, will testify the above to any candid enquirer.

WORMS. The Genuine Vermifuge Lozenges, FOR DESROYING WORMS IN CHILDREN AND GROWN PERSONS. Invented and prepared by Dr. James Church, New-York.

The general symptoms of Worms, are a Nausea with Sickness at the Stomach, foetid Breath, itching of the Nose, starting and grinding their Teeth while a-sleep, paleness of the Countenance, the Appetite sometimes had, and at other times quite voracious, Looseness, a hard swelled Belly, intermitting Fevers, frequently very Thirsty, the Urine sometimes frothy and often of a whitish color, griping or cho|leric Pains, a dry Cough, unequal Pulse, Drowsiness, Fitts and Convulsions.

The necessity of a remedy is obvious, as they are frequently productive of the most fatal consequences. These Vermifuge Lozenges are an excellent Alternative, contains nothing but what is perfectly innocent, may be administered to children of all ages, and to grown persons with the greatest safety, and, as a Worm Medi|cine,

are an infallible and certain cure. They operate by stool and are singularly efficacious for gross humours and eruptions, sore heads, fever, billious complaints, &c. an excellent physic after the small-pox, measles, fevers, &c. and as gentle a purgative in the spring and fall of the year.

The only Medicine in the World, that cures the most inveterate ITCH in Four Hours. THE GENUINE PATENT SCOTH OINTMENT, For pleasantness, safety, expedition, ease and certainty, is infinitely superior to any other Medicine for the cure of the ITCH.

IT is so certain in its operation, that it has never failed in any one instance what|ever, of effectually curing that disagreeable Disorder in one Night, by one application only, though applied to many Thousands in England, Scotland and Ireland. It does not contain the least particle of Mercury, (see the Affidavit.) but may be applied with the greatest safety, to the most delicate Lady during Pregnan|cy; or the tenderest Infants.

IT is necessary that every Person in a Family, House, or School, having caught the Infection, should have a Box of the Ointment, and each be dressed with it the same Night, as the person cured will be subject to take the infection again im|mediately.

ONE BOX is a Cure for a grown Person—and divided, Cures two Children.

The proprietor is so certain of its infallibility, that he engages to return the money to any person on whom it did not perform a cure in four hours.

AFFIDAVIT.

JAMES CHURCH, late resident at the Dispensary, City Road, near Finsbury Square, Surgeon and Man Midwife, maketh Oath before me, that the Medi|cine, invented and prepared by him, called the "SCOTCH OINTMENT, for the Cure of the ITCH in FOUR HOURS," does not contain the least particle of Mercury, or any other pernicious ingredient whatever, but is perfectly safe for use on the most delicate person.

• WHITE SWELLINGS,
• ACUTE and CHRONIC RHEUMATISM,

IS RECOMMENDED Dr. Church's Essence and Extract of Mustard, Prepared (only) by Dr. James Church at his Dispensary, New-York

THERE is perhaps no malady to which the human frame is subject, that has had more applications of various kinds administered as remedies▪ than the Rheuma|tism, nor is there scarce a disorder that has resisted with like force the attempts made to remove it. The virtues of the Essence and Extract of Mustard, will be found to equal if not excell those of any other medicine whatever, in the cure of the above complaints. The following is quoted from the London Pharmacopiae, and is the opinion of the College of Physicians concerning this valuable drug.

"MUSTARD, by its acrimony and pungency, stimulates the solids, and attenu|ates viscid juices, and hence is deservedly recommended for exciting appetite, pro|moing digestion, encreasing the fluid secretions, also in paralytic and rheumatic af|ffections."

These Medicines contain all the virtues that can possibly be derived from that excellent and powerful vegetable. The Essence is prepared in a f••••id st••••e, and is singularly efficacious as an external application; common Rheumatisms, Sprains, Chilblains, Stiff Necks, swelled Joints, Bruises, frozen Feet, local Pains in any part of the body or extremities, swelled Faces, chopped Hands, &c. will be found to yield to its benign influence in a few hours. The Extract is prepared in the form of Pills, and (being an internal remedy) is an amazing additional improvesness, taken in the severest cases of Rheumatic Gout, Chronic Rheumatism, Palsy, ••••••|ed Pains, Lumbago, Numbness, Gouts, &c. when the Essence is externally appl••ed. It promotes gentle perspiration, and operates ve••y mildly by urine. They also amend a weak digestion, and strengthen the stomach.

☞ Observe. This Chemical Essence and Extract of Mustard, bears no analo|gy whatever to any other Medicine of a similar title; nor can it possibly be genuine without this certificate; "I hereby certify, that this bottle" (or box) "of Essence" (or Extract) "of Mustard, is genuine, and prepared by me, James Church, Inventor and sole Proprietor.

"FACTS ARE STUBBORN THINGS."

To DR. CHURCH, New-York.

Sir,

I have been much afflicted with the RHEUMATISM ever since the fall of the year 1784, (owing to my imprudently exposing myself to the dews of the evening) to such a violent degree, as (at times) not to be able to raise my hand to my head, or to dress and undress myself, particularly at the change of weather, for which I have used and taken a great deal of medicine to no purpose: till early in July last, having caught a violent cold through over-heating myself I was not able to move in bed. In this situation I lay for two days and two nights, when I was advised by a neighbour to use your CHURCH's ESSENCE OF MUSTARD and PILLS, which after the first application I was able to move without pain, and by using four bottles and three boxes of pills, I was entirely cured, and am now perfectly free from any disorder, and am as well and as hearty as ever I was in my life. You have my hearty thanks and good wishes for your prosperity, and am, Sir,

Your humble Servant, JONATHAN HOOFMAN.

George-Town, Aug. 2, 1799.

New-York, June 4, 1799.

Sir,

During my residence on Long-Island last winter. I took a most violent Cold, which brought on a Cough, and almost an entire loss of the use of my limbs —I took your COUGH DROPS, which soon removed my Cough, and in some measure relieved me otherwise, but could not walk at all; recollecting you advertised an ESSENCE OF MUSTARD. I sent to New-York and procured some, which (with the use of the Mustard in Pills) cured me entirely in three days, so that I was able with perfect case to go a voyage to Bermuda, in a week af|ter,

to the great surprise of every body who lived in the neighbourhood and knew my case.

I remain, Sir, with much respect, Your obedient Servant, JOHN R. MAXWELL.

FOR ALL DISEASES OF THE EYES. Dr. Church's Celebrated Eye-Salve,

UNIVERSALLY acknowledged as a certain and infallible cure for INFLAM|MATIONS, DIMNESS, DRYNESS, BLIGHTS, ITCHINGS, and FILMS in the EYES, proceeding from Natural Weakness, or from Accidents, such as blows, dust, lime, or any thing else being thrown into the Eyes. It is admirable in natural Weakne••s of Sight, in Defluctions of Rheum, and for all ailments in the Eyes after the Small-Pox, Measles, and Fevers: it is singularly efficacious in carrying off all wate••y and gross humours; and in strengthening the Sight. In short, there is no Di••ease to which the Eyes are subject, but this SALVE is a SOVE|REIGN REMEDY.—Many hundreds have experienced its Efficacy when in the greatest danger of losing their sight.

As Proofs of its singular Efficacy, the following remarkable and well attested Cases, are presented to the Public.

CASE I.

SUSANNAH GEARING, of New-Court, Cow-Cross, Smithfield, volun|tarily maketh oath and saith, that sometime ago she was nearly blind, having a SPECK on one Eye, which entirely covered her sight, and consequently deprived her of the least light; her other eye was covered with a SKIN OR FILM, so as to render her sight extremely dim. She used many applications recommended for DISEASES of the EYES, which afforded her no relief, until she had recourse to

Mr. CHURCH's EYE-SALVE, which entirely cured her. It effectually removed the SPECK in a few days, and the other eye gradually grew better, and now her sight is perfect, and has not the least ailment in either of them.

PAUL LE MESURIER, Mayor.

CASE II.

Sir,

Being entirely recovered from impending blindness, I beg leave to trouble you with my case, which for the good of others in a like situation, I desire you will make known.—I was suddenly seized with a most violent 〈…〉〈…〉 my eyes, attended with a discharge of foetid matter, which 〈…〉〈…〉 upon me until my eyes were quite closed, which deprived me of the possibility of ••eeing at all; nor could I (when with much pain and difficulty they were 〈…〉〈…〉) bear the light: if I attempted to look at the fire, it occasioned a most dreadfully pain|ful sensation, as if a thousand needles were piercing my eyes at the same time. Nothing that I applied ever did me the least good, and I despaired 〈◊〉〈◊〉 again reco|vering my sight, until I was prevailed on to make use of your justly celebrated Eye-Salve, which I am happy to say has wrought such a wonderful cure on me in about fifteen days, that my sight is now perfect, and never was better in my life. I will satisfy any inquirer who will call on me, and am,

Sir, your's, &c. ELIZABETH LUCAS.

Every sentence of this is strictly true, as witness my hand. RICHARD LUCAS.

Bunkill-Row, Sep. 1794.

CASE III.

Sir,

It is near ten years ago since I first found a dimness in my sight, which I suffered for three years, being afraid to use any remedy; but, as it grew worse, I found it indispensably necessary to use some means, thinking▪ if any good could be done, then was the time, as I was very likely to lose the sight of both eyes. I applied to the late Dr. Hunter, who gave me some drops to put into them every night, which put me in the most excruciating pain; and which as my sight grew no better, I was obliged, on account of the violent agony they put me in, to discontinue; since which time I have applied to several eminent men, but never found any relief whatever, till, hearing of your EYE-SALVE, which on account of a great cure re|cently advertised by you, on a person who I knew very well, I was induced to make trial of it; which I am happy I did, it having, in the course of five weeks, perfectly restored me to my sight, in the forty ninth year of my age. You are welcome to publish this, if you think proper.

CASE IV.

To MR. CHURCH, Finsbury-Square.

Sir,

I have been afflicted with a violent humor in my Eyes, attended with inflamma|tion and itching, for upwards of ten years, which has lately encreased upon me to a very alarming degree: as my sight suffered very materially thereby, being excessive|ly weak, I have used a great many different remedies, recommended to me as spe|cifics, without success; but am happy to add, that one box of your EYE-SALVE has effectually cured me, and strengthened my sight amazingly.

I am Sir, your humble servant, ANN CALVERY.

Mitford Place, Tottenham-Court-Road, December 4, 179••.

P. S. As I am now Seventy Three years of age, and many persons will know how much I suffered for so many years, I must beg you 〈◊〉〈◊〉 publish it for the good of others.

CASE V.

The daughter of the late Mr. Neale, of Petty France, Westminster, was dread|fully afflicted with a violent humour in her EYES, from the time of her having the ••••••••••-pox▪ attended with an inflammation, itching and s••artin••; was unable to look at the light for some time. After numberless applications to no effect, she applied to Mr. Church, who recommended his EYE-SALVE, which we used, and which ef|fectually cured her in three weeks; and now her sight is quite perfect, and she has no ailment in cuber of them since.

Prepare (only) and sold by Dr. James Church, at his Dispensary, New-York, and by the general venders of his medicines in the United States.

Humours on the Face and Skin, PARTICULARLY

• PIMPLES,
• BLOTCHES,
• TETTERS,
• RING-WORMS,
• TAN,
• FRECKLES,
• SUN-BURNS,
• SHINGLES,
• REDNESS of the NOSE, NECK or ARMS, and the
• PRICKLY-HEAT,

Are effectually and speedily cured by the application of the GENUINE VEGETABLE LOTION.

THIS excellent remedy has been administered by the inventor, for several years while in England with the greatest success. By the simple application of this fluid, for a short time, it will remove the most Rancorous and Alarming SCURVY in the FACE, which has foiled every other remedy. It possesses all the good qualities of the most celebrated Cosmetics, without any of their doubtful effects.—He therefore recommends it with confidence to every person so afflicted, as an efficacious and certain cure.

Mr. F. R. in the neighbourhood of German-Town, near Philadelphia, whose name and address may be known by application to Dr. Church, was dreadfully afflicted with a scorbutic humour in his face and other parts of his body, but more particularly about his face and neck, so much so that it was with the most excruci|ating pain he could shave or wash his face; his nose and eye-lids extremely red and excoriated, that he was ashamed to appear in the public streets; he employed the first surgeons and physicians he could hear of to no effect; he however adopted the use of Dr. Church's Vegetable Lotion, which perfectly and eradically cured him.

The above gentleman has also witnessed the efficacy of the Lotion in his family, in the speedy removal of Tan, Freckles, Sun-burns and the Prickly Heat.

To the Nervous, Weak, Debilitated, Sedentary and Consumptive, IS RECOMMENDED The celebrated Botanical Tea, Instead of FOREIGN TEA.

THIS Tea is universally approved of, in preference to Foreign Tea, as the most pleasant, wholesome, enlivening, invigorating and powerful Restorative ever adopted, for persons of all ages; but particularly those of the above description, as it will infallibly strengthen, and eventually repair a bad constitution.

It is taken for breakfast instead of Foreign Tea: and as our first aliment in the morning is designed to recruit the waste of the body from the night's insensible per|spiration,

it is well known, and an important fact which ought to be borne on the mind of every one, that, Fo••••i•••• Teas are inadequate to such purpose, as all will al|low: it unnerves and wears 〈…〉〈…〉 of the solids. This substitute is profes|sionally approved as a salutary 〈…〉〈…〉 diet, or as a morning and afternoon beverage.

THE BOTA••••CAL TEA, is singularly efficacious in all cases of inward weakness, trembling or shaking of the hands, l••••s of appetite, (particularly in the morning) depression of spirits, windy complaints. It speedily relieves the head and stomach in Gouty or Rheumatic cases, and in cases of weak Digestion, but particularly after making too free with the constitution, by an immoderate use of wine, spirituo••s liquors, or any intempe|rance; it is happily suited to hot climates, and is adopted and approved by some of the first families in the United States and in the West Indies; for its nourishing and invigorating properties, and in billious cases, where the appetite has failed, it is a sovereign remedy.

As proofs of the evil tendency from the Use of Foreign Teas, is subjoined the opinions of some of the first Physicians in Europe.

ON FOREIGN TEA,

The cause of the Palsy is drinking too much Tea—many imagine Tea has no ill effect on the nerves: this, however, is a mistake—it effects he nerves, which is evident from its causing the hands to shake, preventing sleep, occassioning giddi|ness, dimness of sight, sickness, &c.

—Dr. Buchan.

Strong infusions of India Tea, not only unnerves, but destroys the bodily func|tions.

—Dr. Hugh Smith.

And another publication, Dr. Hugh Smith says, "Tea is hurtful to both the stomach and nerves, it causes ph••••nzies, delirium, appoplexies, and other disorders of the brain, which are produced by the nerves being thus disarranged and debili|tated, the digestive faculty of the stomach is weakened, and the body failing of the recruiting juices, must tend to emaciation, and the whole frame thus rendered one system of distress and infirmity."

The justly celebrated Dr. Tissot says, "This fashionable beverage, India Tea, is extremely pernicious, it destroys the strength of the stomach, the viscera, the blood, the nerves, and eventually the whole body."

Dr. Moliere says, "In billious complaints, Tea is extremely hurtful."

Dr. F••••hergill, "Tea is very offensive to the lungs, and impedes respiration; it is therefore highly improper for persons who have a difficulty of breathing, or any complaint of the lungs or nerves."

Dr. Saunders says, (see his Med. Mem.) "India Tea renders men impotent and women barren; hence we may account for persons in the higher circles, having few children, and those in general very sickly and unhealthy."

For more accounts of this Tea, see the second edition of this pamphlet.

This Botanical Tea, is calculated to produce the contrary effects, is the result of long and indefatigable study and experience, and by perseveringly adopting its use, will be found to answer every effect herein mentioned.

It is cheaper than India Tea, one packet at 75 cents, will last one person for breakfast nearly one month; cannisters containing eight packets, 5 dollars.

It is prepared only by Dr. Church, and may be had of the venders of his medi|cines in the United States and the West-Indies.

Mrs. Ross, wife of Mr. Ross, of Duchess County, was for many years subject to a severe nervous complaint, trembling of her hands, giddiness, pain in her stomach, loss of appetite, weakness of digestion, and much inclined to consumption; she made application to Dr. Church in New-York, who (Mrs. Ross being much averse to medicine) recommended his BOTANICAL TEA, with strict instructions for her not to drink any India Tea, Mrs. Ross being in the habit of drinking strong green Tea and eating nothing with it, she adopted the use of Dr. Church's Tea twice a-day in its place, and is now perfectly restored to health and strength by ta|king▪ that alone; she now uses it in common in her family, who universally speak of it in the strongest terms of approbation.
