DR. FRANKLIN J. SMITH ,
ESPECTFU LLY calls tho attention
of his friends and the public generally.
t o the important and interesting fact, that
he is lully 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 moderate and reasonable
charges, without subjecting the patient to
the poisonous influence of minerals, such as
mercury, arsenic, &c.
His remedies are mild, agreeable. and
of and orerate in accordance with the
laws of the animal economy.
Doctor F. Smith is ready at alt time.; to
attend patients at their houses. Patients
living at a distance can be accont►nodated
with board and medical attendance tit 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 t h e bad effects ren►aining in the eye.
tern, from the use of mercury or any other
poisonous mineral.
Medical men of the li:gliest distinction
and talent, such as Matthias, Alley, Cramp
ton, Pearson, Abernethy, Carmichael, iltc
afeirm that chancres and buboes, ulcerations
in the throat, together with diseases of the
periosteum, tendons, cartilages, ligaments,
fascia, and eruptions of a highly obs.inate
character, are the consequence from the ad
ministration or use of mercury. These aw
ful eff!cts of mercury are net novel, for
every physician of veracity will acknow
ledge them to be of frequent and melancho

Gonley's Vegetable Medicines.
UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS!
No medicine has, perhaps, ever met with suc:
decided and general SUCCE`fiI as
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
scrilier finds it difficult to supply the numer
ous orders which he is constantly receiving.
Innumerable Certificates in his pocqession
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,
a new article, are also getting into general
use, having been productive of the most be
neficial effects in hundreds of families of the
first respectability in this city and vicinity 1
and although they have in one instance, but
Without any foundation or truth, been pro
nounced poisonous, lIIINDIERDS of cert if.cates
can be produced of their having performed
positive and effectual cures in the most obsti
nate cases, both on young nod old, and be
now challenges any one to produce satisfac
tory evideuce that there is one particle of
any ingredient in their composition that can
injure a person in the lowest stage of any
disease.
Having administered his medicines in al
most all diseases to which the human fami
ly are subjected, ho never, in a tingle in-
stance, found them to produce any injurious
effects, but, on the contrery,they have been
attended with the most complete success. .;.
