DR. FRANKLIN J. SMITH,
RESPECTFULLY calls the attention
of his friends and t he public generally,
to the rinportant and interesting fact, that
he is fully prepared and qualified to cure
the most inveterate cases of rheumatism.—
The various diseases to which mankind are
subject (if curable) can also be effectually
and radically cured by him, safely and ex
peditiously, at moderato and reasonable
charges, without subjecting the patient to
the poisonous influence of minerals, such as
mercury, arsenic, &c.
His remedies are mild, agreeable, and
efficient, and orerate in accordance' with the
laws of the animal economy.
Doctor F. Smith is ready at all thnes to
attend patients at their houses. Patients
living at a distance can be accommodated
with board and medical attendance at mod
erate prices at his dwelling, in Carlisle
street, the house formerly occupied by Dr.
Berluchy.
Dr. Smith would also inform the public
that his mode of treatment will perfectly
remove the bad effects remaining in the eye
tem, from the use of mercury or any other
poisonous mineral.
Medical men of the highest distinction
and talent, such as Matthias, Alley, Cramp•
ton, Pearson, Abernethy, Carmichael, &c.
atrirm that chancres and buboes, ulcerations
in the throat, together with diseases of tho
periosteum, tendons, cartilages, ligaments,
fascia, and eruptions of a highly obstinate
character, are the consequence from the ad.
ministration or use of mercury. These aw
ful effects of mercury are not novel, for
every physician of veracity will acknow
ledge them to be of frequent and melancho
ly occurrence.

Gouley's Vegetable Medicines.
UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS!
No medicine has, perhaps, ever met with such
decided and general success Us
Gouley's Vegetable Bitters.
THIS medicine has been but a few years
before the public, and the demand for
it has already become so great, that the sub.
scriber finds it difficult to supply the numer
ous orders which ho is constantly receiving.
Innumerable Certificates in his possession
bear testimony to its medicinal virtues and
attest the fact of its having preserved the
lives of hundreds both in this city and else
where.
His VEGETABLE COUGH DROPS,
now article, are also getting into general
use, having been productive of most be
neficial effects in hundreds of families of the
first respectability in this city acid vicinity I
and although they have in one instance, but
without any toundation or truth, been pro
nounced poisonous, lIUNDREDS of certificates
can be produced of their hnving performed
positive and effectual cures in the most obsti
nate cases, both on young and old, and he
now challenges any one to produce satisfac
tory evidence that there is one particle of
any ingredient in their composition that can
injure a person in the lowest stage of any
disease.
flaying administered his medicines in al
most all diseases to which the human fami
ly aro subjected, he never, in a ringle in
stance, found them to produce any injurious
effects, but, on the contrary,they have been
attended with the most complete success.
N. B.—As the Fever and Ague is very
prevalent at this season of the year, he can
confidently recommend his
VEGETABLE HITTERS
ss n CERTAIN ctian,and invites all wliontay
he afflicted with this dreadful disease, to -
make trial of them.

senses to which the mariner is subject during
