to which I had resorted having utterly failed to effect a cure, or even to procure relief. On 

 the last day named, I heard of Dr. Bennett's Rheumatic Drops, and immediately procured 

 some of them, and took a tea-spoonful in some cold water, about 1 o'clock. P. M., but without 

 any perceptible effect ; and about 6 o'clock, on the same day, I applied to Dr. Bennett, in per- 

 son, who informed me that I was not easily impressible, and administered to me two tea- 

 spoonfuls more, which relieved me of all pain whatever, in less than an hour, and the swell- 

 ing soon began to subside, and I have not had the least symptom of rheumatism from that 

 day to the present, and never enjoyed better health in my life, though I have been exposed 

 to all weathers as heretofore. 



BENJAMIN N. PIECE." 



Directions,- Price, etc. The same, in all respects, as for the Cough Drops. The use of 

 the drops to be continued until a oure is effected. In cases of severe pain, one dose (a large 

 tea-spoonful) will, frequently, be all sufficient. 



DYSENTERIC DROPS. These drops are admirably adapted to the radical cure of 

 cholera, dysentery, diarrhoea, etc., either in an acute or chronic form. They seldom fail to 

 cure, even where other patent remedies signally fail. 



Directions, price, etc. The same as for the Cough Drops. The drops to be given three 

 times a day, until there is no further necessity for their use. 



HEALTH RESTORATIVE. This medicine is exceedingly pleasant to the taste; and, 

 at the same time, most potent in its curative properties. Through the agency of this sana- 

 tive compound, accompanied by appropriate adjuvants, a young lady of this town, who had 

 been afflicted from her youth with a very troublesome cutaneous affection, of a leprous char- 

 acter, has been restored to health and vigor. Mr. Little, in a letter to Dr. Erland, dated 

 " Boston, Jan. 31, 1849," in speaking of this article, says: 



" It is undoubtedly one of the very best innocuous and sanative preparations ever com- 

 pounded for humors, skin diseases, general debility and visceral derangements, acting as a 

 powerful corrector of the secretions, (oetter understood by the people as a purifier of the blood,) 

 and wherever used, its virtues will evidently be highly appreciated. 

 Yours, with respect, 



WM. B. LITTLE, Chemist, 104 Hanover st." 



James Thurber, Esq., Editor of "The Old Colony Memorial," in his paper of Feb. 3, 

 1849, in an article on this medicine, says : 



" This article, Mr. Little, an eminent Boston chemist, pronounces one of the best com- 

 pounds for the purification of the blood ever prepared. We can testify, having tried it, to 

 its pleasant taste, and its revivifying effect upon the system. If the compound possessed no 

 medicinal qualities, it would be a drink much sought after as a beverage, being extremely 

 pleasant to take. We rather suspect that Dr. Bennett will have his hands full in supplying 

 the demand for this innocuous and valuable medicine." 



Directions. The dose of this " Restorative" is from a tea-spoonful to two table spoonfuls 

 three times a day once in eight hours without mixing it with any other article at the time 

 of its administration. To be well shaken when used ; and its use continued, as the case may 

 require, to effect the object intended. 



Price. Pour cents an ounce; forty-eight cents a pint ; eighty cents a quart; and three 

 dollars a gallon ; for the medicine only phials and bottles to be charged extra. 



CATHARTIC POWDER. This is decidedly the best general purgative, or family physic, 

 that is now known. It acts upon the whole alimentary canal, and is a powerful promote'r of 

 the secretions. It may be given to any age or sex, and is indicated in bilious and febrile dis- 

 eases, and in all cases where laxatives or purgatives are required ; and it does not, like 

 most cathartic substances, leave the bowels in a constipated condition. 



Directions. Take a heaping tea-spoonful of the powder, and an ounce or two of loaf (or 

 other fine) sugar, and add to them about a gill of boiling water : when cool, stir it up, and 

 drink dregs and all. Repeat the dose in three hours, if necessary. It is better to take it on 

 an empty stomach. 



Price. Fifteen cents an ounce ; and one dollar and fifty cents a pound. 



EMETIC DROPS. This emetic, though extremely unpleasant to the taste, is unsur- 

 passed for promptness and efficiency of action, but mostly valued for its sanative influences. 

 It neither cramps nor prostrates the system, like most other emetics, but is always safe and 

 efficacious, and should be administered in all cases where an emetic is indicated. 



Directions. An adult should take two large tea-spoonfuls of the emetic drops, in about a 

 ?ill of luke-warm composition tea, and repeat the dose every fifteen or twenty minutes, until 

 copious vomiting takes place. During the operation the patient should drink very freely of 

 quite hot composition tea. If it should not be convenient to use composition tea, boneset, 

 chamomile, orothercommon articles will answer. Some persons will require double the above- 

 named doses. 



Price. Eight cents an ounce ; ninety-six cents a pint ; and a dollar and fifty cents a quart ; 

 for the medicine only phials and bottles to be an additional charge. 



COMPOSITION POWDERS. These powders are compounded of the most potent and 

 pure diaphoretic articles of the Materia Medica, differing essentially from the article usually 

 sold at the shops under the same name, and composed of refuse drugs. They answer llie 

 general purposes of an alterative, establish perspiration, equalize the circulation, and re- 

 move obstructions arising from colds, atmospheric vicissitudes, or other causes.
