might be obtained. As this advice came from some of the
most respectable Physicians in this country, I concluded that
it was the most proper method that could probably be adopt
ed. Hut upon further consultation and more mature consid
eration, I concluded that as the Ointment would occasionally
fall into many hands, some of whom would probably under
take to make it, and knowing that all attempts to make it by
the inexperienced would prove abortive nevertheless it
might be propagated in this adulterated situation, as it might
in some degree resemble the original and genuine Ointment;
and in this way its good effects Would be obliterated; the
public confidence would thereby be destroyed, and the Oint

self and to those whom it was intended to relieve. Under

it is superior to any medicine yet known to the medical fac-

it does not lay the patient liable to injury from exposure to

It cures the worst Felons or Whitlows, on an application
of forty-eight hours.
Rheumatisms which have stood so long as to become a sys
tematic disorder, require medicines to be taken inwardly to
remove them entirely. Hut in most common cases, by ap
plying this Ointment externally as directed, it will give re
lief; a.d even in old people, whose pains have been of long
er standing, it will often ease the pain.
Here follows an extract of a letter from Dr. I. Parker,
dated near Moimtpleasant, Twelfth month, 1815.
To Dr. Wm. Judkixs:

T fnnnd it vcrv useful, and in particular in a case of a wom

opinion nothing but a surgical operation would remove. 1

large hardened tumours of this kind under my arm, which

removing the tumours, I was advised to apply some of Dr.
Wm. Judkins' Patent Specific Ointment.. I did so, and found
that the first application softened the external parts of the tu
mours, and relieved. the pain; and the third plaster produced
a very neat and complete cure. Since then, I have often re
commended it to my friends in similar affections

Dr. Wm. Judkins:
Dear Sir I have been afflicted for fifteen years with the
Rheumatism in one of my knees, which at times rendered
me useless; having heard of the many great cures it has effec
ted in your county, I was induced to get a box of vour Sne-
cific Ointment, and by the application of it the pains have
subsided, and I remain well, tho' my age is seventy-seven.

Dr. War. Judkins: tfnril 2. 1822.
Sir This is to certify that sometime in July, 1820. I
was attacked with the Rheumatism in my arm, which pre
vented me from attending lo my business, or getting rest at
night; I was at times unable to raise my arm to my head. I
got a box of your Specific Ointment, arid that box has restor
ed that arm to be as good and strong as it ever was, and from
the knowledge I have of it for Burns, Cuts, and Bruises, do
believe it to be the best salve I ever was acquainted with.

Dr. War. J ud kin's:
Dear Sir I have been afflicted for two years and five
months with a sore foot occasioned by bleeding. I applied
for medical aid which cost me fifty or sixty dollars, and my
foot remained uncured. I got a box of vour Specific Oint
ment, and the benefit I received from it induced me to get
one more, which has effected a perfect cure.
ROBERT KING.

I do certify that I had a negro woman that was afflicted
with a rising breast, and I applied to a physician to know
what to do for it; he examined and then prescribed for it, and
told me if that did not relieve it, it was his opinion it would
have to be cut off, though, in the mean time, I got some of
Dr. W. Judkins' Patent Specific Ointment and applied that:
in the course of three weeks or such a matter, the woman was
perfectly relieved, and I done nothing else but applied the
Ointment. I have also applied it to fresh cuts, and found it
lo answer a very good purpose. Given under my hand.
WM. H. GEE.
Northampton County, N. C. 1827.
I do certify that I had a negro boy who had a very dan
gerous Ulcer on his leg for above four months, during which
time I employed medical aid and the wound continued to get
worse, and appeared very much like a mortification was a
bout to take place, and meeting with Mr. Judkins, I pur
chased two boxes of his Specific Ointment, and before I had
used one of them the Ulcer was entirely well. I do likewise
certify that I had a Whitlow rising on one of my fingers and
I applied some of said Ointment, and in the course of two or
three days it was entirely well. H. N. EDMONDS.
The following new and highly respectable testimonial of the
efficacy of the Ointment, in curing one of the diseases for
which it is deemed a remedy, has been lately received from
the Hon. John Cocke, member of the House of Represen
tatives, in Congress, with permission to publish the same.
Washington, March 22, 1S26.
Sir -My son being afflicted for five years with white
swelling, and having applied every remedy recommended by
Ihe most eminent physicians within my reach, without suc
cess. I at length procured one of Dr. Judkins' Patent Speci
fic Ointment, and made the application according to the di
rections accompanying the Ointment, and state, for the bene
fit of the afflicted, that before the one jug was used, a perfect
cure was effected. My son has enjoyed good health ever
since. I have no doubt lo the Ointment alone he is indebt
ed, as nothing else was used for more than nine months be
fore the application of the Ointment. Respectfully,

I have a large mass of testimony in my possession, shew-in"-
the cures that have been performed by this Ointment;
but as trial will be more likely to satisfy every person, I
shall here omit them.
Mode of Application.
The Ointment is to be spread thin, on writing paper, full
as lare as the tumour or sore to which it is applied, and
continued on for twenty-four hours, then remove it and ap
ply a new plaster in the same manner. H the tumour or
sore is syi ulcerating one and discharges much matter, then
and in that case it is necessary to remove the plaster twice a
day, and clean the ulcer, then the same plaster will do for
two dressings.
It is also necessary lo observe that in some ot those chro
nic diseases to which the Ointment has been of a singular
service it has, on application of the first plaster, produced an
increase of pain in the part for several minutes, and in some
instances for near an hour. But such an increase of pain in
the part, produced by the application of 'the first plaster , is a
certain omen of an entir.e cure. M. JUDKLNb.
QjThe above Ointment can be procured at
the store of U. & $ V- Collen in TarhoroK and
at the Post-Office in the ioxvnof Halifax.
