VEGETABIA CATHOLICON.
A 1) VERTISEM ENT.
The unrivalled and extensive reputation
acquired by this medicine S Jim;
years, both in IlosuiTAL and ffivate prac
tice, demands from the proprietor his grate
ful acknowledgments to a discerning public.
Potter's Vegettilde Catholicon is offered fir the
cure of Diseases Of the Liver, Ulcerated Sore
'Throat, Debility resulting from Intemperance
- turd Dissipation, St:militia- or king's-Evil, Old
and Inveterate Ulcers, Pains in the Bonvs,
Rheumatism ' Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Dis
eases of the Lungs, Syphilis, Blotches on the
Face and Skin, White Swelling of the Joints,
Totter, Mercurial diseases, Piles, &ei &c. •
The Catholicon consists exclusively of
vegetable matter, anti with a slight deter
mination to the bowels, which it preserves
in a soluble
,state i acts insensibly, is pleas.
ant to the taste, and requires no particular
regimen or continemen.t: As a gentle ca
thartic medicine, itniativing the appetite and
restoring the general tone of the system, it
is confidently recommended to ladies in a
delicate situation.
The unrivalled and very extensive .char
acter which this medicine has enjoyed, for
the last six years, as a complete renovator,
and purifier of the blood and humours both
in Hospital and Private Practice, is!a sub
stantial basis for its future support. It has
obtained its present great distinction by the
extraordinary success which has attended
"it in the Healing Art,while every avenue and
track have been searched in vain for its
parallel; indeed, its discovery may, be con
sidered one Of the most sacred boons that
can be afforded to the unfortunate; and
most sincerely hope the sympathy of the
public will be excited to diffuse its invalua
ble merits.
There are at this time several spurious
mixtures in circulation abroad, and some
vended in this city, assuming to possess the
same, or equal virtues, of Potter's Catho!i
con. It is to be hoped that the unsuspect
ing willke placed on their guard against
such impositions, as much 'mischief has re
sulted from their use. They consist, prin
cipally of sarsaparilla sirops, viz. Sirup de

much increased by bodily exercise. At. night,
great oppression at. the chest was experienced,
with CNCVSSiye colhquative sweats, soreness and
pain in LllO sides and breast, with extrellle languor
and loss of ay; tile. In this situation, I travelled
to the New Kngland states by Sea, but obtained
