Sold by appointment by DANtFL RAPINE, Bookseller, Capitol Dill, Washington NIN IA N MAGRUI IE R, Georgetown DAVID OTT k CO Pennsylvania avenue The few following respectable cases o cures are selected from hundreds of equal respectability. Lee’s Anti-Bilious Pills. The operation of these highly esteemed Pills is perfectly mild, and the experience of thou sands lias proved, they mav be used in every sb nation m life, without the least inconveni ence. Messrs. Michael Lee 13 Co. I have been very much alllicted for some days past with extreme pain and giddiness in my head, so much so that when I have had oc casion to'stoop down in the store, on raising up again, it was with difficulty I could stand on my feet for some time, connected with a sick stom ach. Having repeatedly received great benefit from your Anti-Bilious Pills, I had recourse to them again, and find myself again entirely re lieved from those distressing sensations, and now enjoy perfect health. You are at liberty, (and I wish you so to do] to make this as pub lic as you may see proper, as I a-a confident those pills are the most efficacious medicine in similar cases and I do sincerely believe that a timely use thereof will in many cases pre vent violent attacks of Bilious and other fevers. Yours respectfully, GREENBURY RIDGELY, No. 9, Market street. July 8, 1812. Lee’s Elixir. A sovereign remedy for colds, obstinate coughs, catarrhs, asthmas, sore-throats and ap proaching consumptions.

Baltimore, June 20, 1812. Messrs. Michael Lee 03 Co. I was attacked wuh a most violent cold, a severe co gh and pa.n m the breast, which continued to grow worse—during which my appetite ailed, and my voice altered so much that it was will the utmost exertion I cou.d pronounce a single sentence louder than my breath. Some of my friends having observed to me that much good had been done by the use o’ Lee’s Elixir, advised me to procure a bottle from Messrs. Warner and Hanna, which I accordingly did—and to those persons, un acquainted with the merits of this medicine, it will appear astonishing that three doses should remove the pains in my breast, and the use of one bottle only restored me to perfect health. J. A SMI I H, Market Street, F. Point. LEE’S LOZE GES. This medicine, which is as innocent and mild as it is certain and efficacious in its ope ration, cannot injure the youngest infant should no worms exist in the body. Messrs Michael Lee, £3 Co. Observing that my son, 6 years of age, was troubled with difficulty in breathing [Some thing frequently rising in his throat] restless ness at night, loss of flesh, &c. from these symptoms I was confident he had worms and having procured a box of Lee’s Worm destroy ing Lozenges, the first dose expelled 23 large worms which afforded him immediate relief. He now enjoys a good state of health, and I believe I can from experience say, that Lee’s Lozenges are the most efficacious remedy for worms now in use. THOMAS PETERS, Of the iate firm of Peters 8c Johnson, Baltimore, July 1, 1810. LEE’S INFALLIBLE FEVER AND AGUE DROPS Thousands can testify of their being cured by these drops, after the bark and every other medicine has proved ineffectual; and not one in a hundred has had occasion to take more ban one, and numbers not half a bottle. Messrs. Michael Lee Gt Co. 1 think it a duty incumbent on me (for the benefit of my fellow beings) to make known io you the wonderful cure performed by your truly infallible Ague and Fever Drops. My dttie son has been laboring under the ague fever for several months—a great many reme dies were tried without the least effect, and the child fast declining, having almost entire ly lost his appetite. I was advised to try Lee’s Infallible Ague and Fever Drops. I procured a bottle and gave it attentively as directed, to my astonishment, the third day the ague fever entirely left him, and he soon perfectly recovered his health I do therefore confident ly recommend them to all persons laboring under chat distressing disease to be a perfect cure.
