                     INTRODUCTION.

   J. X. CHABERT, M. D. Member of the Medical Society of tha
 United States; Member of the College of Physicians, at New  Albany,
 Indiana ; of the Medical Society of the County of Oneida, in the State
 of New-York; of the Medical Society of Botanic Physicians and Sur-
 geons of the City of New-York;  Professor  of Chemistry  of Indiana;
 feole Discoverer of Antidotes to the most virulent poisons,  and preven-
 tives and cures for the Asiatic cholera ; Author of a  work on  Asiatic
 cholera, as it existed in this city in the years  of 1832 and '34, founded
 on reason and experience ; of an historical account of the manners and
 customs of the savage inhabitants of Brazil ; together, with a sketch of
 the  life of the  Botocudo Chieftain  and family,  &c.,—is impressed
 with  a deep sense of gratitude for the very  liberal  patronage  he has
 received from the citizens of New-York,  and  the  public in general,
 since his commencement  of the practice  of  medicine in this city ; and
 takes this opportunity  of returning his  sincere thanks, and from his
 thorough knowledge of, and  assiduous attention  to  business, to con-
 tinue that patronage.   The almost miraculous cures he has performed
 on persons who have been given up, and  pronounced  by other  physi-
 cians as incurable, induces him through a sense of duty, to invite  per-
 sons who may be labouring under any painful disease,  to  call and re-
 ceive the same benefit others have obtained.

 No.  364 Broadway, corner of Franklin-st,—Late of No. 324  Broad-
                way.—Residence No. 310 Broadway.

   N. B.  Advice given gratis to the poor.   Hours each day, from 8
 o'clock to JO in the morning, and from 7  to 9 in the evening.

   The following diseases he has been particularly successful in, as will
 be shown by  certificates he has received from persons  who have been
 cured by him.

                   RHEUMATISM.
   This disease divides itself into two forms,  the acute and the Chronic.
 In its simplest form  it is marked  by kw and unimportant symptoms,
 and  without any derangement of the general  health.   On  some occa-
 sions, however, it gives  rise to great  disorder, being attended with a
 high  degree of systematic fever, and that in a  higher degree than  per-
 haps any other disease.   The general exciting  cause  of rheumatism,
 in all its forms, is exposure to cold or damp.  The acute  rheumatism
 mostly affects the young and vigorous, and those  between  the  age of
 puberty and thirty-five.   In some  cases it  is  constitutional, and even
 hereditary; and when this predisposition  exists, the disease  is produ-
 ced by the slightest cold.  It  usually commences with a sense of cold-
 ness, thirst, fever, restlessness, and costiveness.   The joints become
 stiff, and give pain upon motion, and towards evening the pain  and fe-
ver increase.   Sometimes there is considerable swelling, with redness
of the skin :  the urine is high coloured, with   profuse sweating, which
                               A 
2
seldom affords relief.   Many slight  cases  continue  only  a (ew days,
and go off like a common cold ;  others  are protracted  for months, or
evr a years, when of course  the  term  chronic strictly applies.  The
pains, for the  most part, are the last symptoms which leave the patient  ;
these  may begin to abate about the eighth  or tenth day, but the time
may  be greatly lengthened.  The  disorder is most  frequent  in the
spring, and especially when long easterly winds prevail ; and in a great
proportion of  instances, it goes off entirely without injury to the con-
stitution, although  it may have continued for a lengthened  period.  It
is liable to be  confounded with the gout ; but acute  rheumatism is  so
strongly marked by an  increase of fever and other  symptoms  at  night,
as to be scarcely possible to be mistaken.
  The following certificates are among many Dr. Chabert has received
from persons who have been cured by him.

  That merit  may be given where truth and justice demand, it  should
not be deemed unworthy of public attention, and on that account it is I
state the following  undeniable facts: having been for a considerable
time affected with Rheumatism, I  was taken into the City Hospital, and
remained there during five months and twenty-one days,  not having  re-
ceived in  that  period the  smallest  benefit.   1  was  then sent to  Staten
Island Hospital, and staid there six months, the effects of medicine and
skill of physicians seemed  in my case alike in both  places.   I then
went to Bellevue Hospital with better expectations, and indeed  better
assurances of recovery.   I remained there one month, nor did I  derive
there the least relief; I believe the doctors  thought as 1 did, that  I was
incurable.  I was then  a poor helpless creature,  cast upon the benevo-
lence of my fellow beings, moving as well  as 1 could upon crutches.—
In this condition I was advised by several gentlemen to go to Dr. Cha-
bert, 322 Broadway, (or, as is commonly known, the Fire King.)  He
told me, as I was a poor man, if I gave  him my crutches as  soon as I
could be relieved from them, he would cure me.   Suffice it  to say, he
has done so in  three  weeks.  I have  fulfilled my promise.  I  am now
well, for which I heartily  thank him, and have shipped in one  of the
New-Orleans packets.   Such has  been my case, and whether the cir-
cumstances deserve  to be published,  let the  community  at large judge.
                                     THOMAS  McGRAW,
  July 16th, 1836.                          Madison-st. N. York.

  I have  been fbr some time in the most miserable way with Chronic
Rheumatism ;  my limbs and  frame contracted so, that I could not move
even on crutches.   I sent for Dr. Chabert,  and by the use of his medi-
cines, am  now completely cured, and working at  my business.  This
proof of Dr. Chabert's  knowledge and experience  in a medical way,
speaks sufficiently of his merit.                   J* H. DAVIS,
  N. York, May 28, 1833.                    367 Cherry-street.

  This is  to certify, that  I have been afflicted for a long time past with
Inflammatory Rheumatism ; the pains were so  acute that I  could  not
straighten  my  body.  At this time  I  applied  to Dr. Chabert, 322
Broadway, who in a short time entirely  cured me.

   I have been afflicted some time past with Chronic Rheumatism, my
 health also being in the most debilitated state.  It is almost needless to
 say, that the  power  of motion had  nearly left my  limbs.   Having
 sought in vain from many medical gentlemen for some aid, I was finally
 induced to send for Dr. Chabert, who, after having examined my com-
 plaint, administered to me medicines which have completely  cured me.
 I know nothing of physic; but this I  know,  that I wish all my fellow
 beings under sickness or similar complaints, may  receive, as I  have
 done, from Dr. Chabert, that speedy  and efficacious  relief, which is
 more to me than any other consideration.
   New-York.                  FRANCIS ROSS, 99 Cherry-st.

   I have been in deep decline, and at the same time  affected  with In-
 flammatory  Rheumatism.  For a long time I had to be helped into and
 out of bed.   I was recommended by Dr. M-------r, under whose care
 I was, to go to Dr. Chabert,  whom he knew had cured a  difficult case.
 I have been uuderthe treatment of physicians, from whose prescriptions
 I derived no benefit.   I then applied to Dr. Chabert,  who,  in  four
 weeks, has completely restored me.

                         a out.
   The exciting causes of Gout are often imperceptible, the  inflamma-
 tion appearing to arise spontaneously.   Sometimes the paroxysms can
 be traced to a particular source, as for  instance,  any  general derange-
 ment of the system;  taking cold, a debauch, or the use of wines,  espe-
 cially claret, mechanical violence;  also, as sprains and other injuries,
 and violent exercise.   The disease may be  hereditary, and it may be
 acquired by excessive eating and drinking, mental exertion,  accompa-
 nied by anxiety.   Excess and indulgence of all kinds tends to form the
 predisposition to gout> and upon which the disease apparently depends
 more than upon  the  exciting  causes.  The disease is  distinguished
 from rheumatism  by its confining its attacks to the smaller joints, and
 when the skin is affected, it presents a  peculiar glossy appearance,  with
 a degree of tenderness to the touch,  far exceeding that observed in
 any other inflammation.  The following certificates, he trusts,  will be
 quite sufficient.

  Having been severely afflicted with  the  gout, I tried  many  physi-
 cians to afford me  relief, but I could get none.  I also  went to the hos-
 pital, but in like manner, to no purpose.  I  at length went  to  Dr. Cha-
bert, and in a short time his medicine completely effected my cure.
                   L. C. STEWART, 24 Crosby-st., New-York.
  Mr. Shadwick, of Rahway,  N. J., and several others, have been en-
tirely cured of the gout, as can be shown by the certificate he has got.
Intermittent Fever? or  Fever and Ague.
  The title intermittent, is applied to that kind of fever which consists
of a succession of paroxysms, between each of which, there is a dis- 
4
rinct and perfect  intermission from febrile symptoms.  Different  names
have been  applied to this fever  according to the  distance of time ob-
served between the periods of its return.
  When it comes on within the space of every twenty-four hours, it is
called a quotidian.
  When it returns every other  day, or there is a  space  of forty-eight
hours between its attacks, it is called a tertian.
  When it attends on the first and fourth day, with an interval of seven-
ty-two hours, it is named a quartan.   That under the tertian type  of the
disease.   The quartan  is  the most obstinate and dangerous,  being
chiefly prevalent  in Autumn.   The quotidian  is  more  likely than the
others to assume  the  continued type.
  lotermittents often prove obstinate, and are  of long duration in warm
climates.   They are most prevalent in  marshy places.   Poor  living,
excessive  fatigue, weakness, exposure  to cold and moisture, lying in
damp rooms or beds, &c. are  among the exciting causes.
                        CERTIFICATES.
  I, the undersigned, do hereby certify, that  having been affected with
fever  and  ague for several weeks past,  I wa3 induced to apply to Dr.
Chabert for relief.   He prescribed some medicine for me,  which in
less than four  and twenty hours, entirely removed my complaint, nor
have I. since had any return  of it.        THOMAS KIRK,
                                           125 Anthony-st. N.  York.
  I  do hereby  certify, that I have been troubled with fever and ague
for the  last six weeks, and had tried several remedies without effect.
Having heard of the skill  of Dr. Chabert, in curing disorders of this
kind, induced me to give him a call, which I did.   I followed his pre-
scription,  and in the short space of one week,  they entirely  restored
me to health.                       PATRICK McGUIRE,

                        CANCER.
  A cancer is an ulcer of the very worst kind, with an uneven surface*
and ragged edges, which spreads in  a very rapid manner, discharges a
thin acrimonious matter, that excoriates the neighbouring integuments,
and has a very fetid smell,  and which is usually preceded by a hard
on scirrhous swelling  of the part,  if glandular.
  The disease is most commonly  confined to glands, and  particularly
the testes and mammae, but is nevertheless  now and then to  be met
with in the uterus, as  likewise in the face and other parts that are thin-
ly covered with flesh, and  which  are  at the same time a good deal ex-
posed  to  external irritation,  such as  the lower  lip, the angles of the
eyes, the  organs of vision,  the tongue,  &c.
   Cancer is generally met  wiih in persons advanced in life, and par-
ticularly in women about the period when the menses cease.  Women
who have had no children, as likewise those who have had them, but
not  suckled them, are frequently afflicted with  cancer.   Climate ap-
pears to have some degree of influence in predisposing to cancer; in
cold northerly regions, the  disease is not only more frequent than in the
southern parts, but seems likewise to be more intractable in its  nature. 
6
   A  cancer  arises most frequently from some external injury, such as
a blow;  but is now and then to be met with as the consequence of pre-
vious inflammation, excited by other causes.
   The following certificate which he thinks sufficient,  was gratuitously
given to him by a female who is willing to testify to its  truth.
   Having been afflicted for the last two years with cancered breast, and
finding no relief from many physicians who attended me for it, I was at
last induced  to call on Dr. Chabert, Broadway.   He  immediately ap-
plied a poultice, prepared from vegetables which on the first application
afforded  me great relief, and after applying two or three more  poultices,
restored  me to my usual state of health.  My object in giving this cer-
tificate, is for the purpose of affording my own sex, who may be labour-
ing under so  painful a disease, an opportunity of being cured,  by apply-
ing to Dr. Chabert in time, and  also to return thanks  for the  benefit I
have received from him.         JOANNAH HAGAR,
                                     No. 15 Beaver-st. New-York.
 .  I hereby certify, that I have been afflicted with a cancer in the uterus
 for nearly one year, during which lime the pain and anguish I endured,
 is  beyond my power to describe.   I applied to many physicians, some
 of whom were unacquainted with  my complaint, one calling it polypus,
 another a tumor,  and treating me differently, until by the free  use  of
 medicine, together with my complaint, I was emaciated  to  such a de-
gree, as to be almost  unknown to my friends,  and rendered so utterly
 helpless, that I could  scarcely turn in my bed.  In this stage of suffer-
 ing, when I  heard of  Dr. Chabert, and of the miraculous cures he had
performed, 1 was determined in  spite of the cry of quackery, which
was raised against him, to seek his aid.  Suffice it to say,  that by his
 great skill, in about  two months I was brought from a state of  misery,
and decay, bordering on  death, to the perfect restoration of my health,
and for  which I now  express my  gratitude in this public manner, that
other females suffering under this  dreadful complaint, may be benefited
as  I have been.       MRS.  E. POPE, No. 32  Sullivan-st. N. Y.
   He has also certificates from Mrs. F. D. Goodwin, Ct. for cancer in
 the womb, and others.
                     LEPROSY.
   Leprosy consists in an eruption of copper coloured spots,  dispersed
 over various parts of the body, with some degree of insensibili y in them,
 together with a glossy and scaly appearance of the skin, thickening  of
 the lobes of the  ears, falling off of the  hair,  hoarseness of the voice,
 oiT~n.iiveness of the breath, and ulcerations in various parts.  Leprosy
 is produced by cold, moisture, great heat and uncleanliness combined,
 excessive fatigue, and poor diet, &c.
   The annexed certificate is among the many he has» received.
   Having been affected with leprosy for a length of time, my body and
 limbs being completely covered, and also my eyes.  I was attended by
 physicians at Peekskill,  without benefit.   Having come to New-York,
several gentlemen of the faculty promised to cure me; but no relief
could I  obtain from them.   So  distressed was  I in body and mind,
I resolved to relinquish hope; but having heard of Dr. Chabert, whom 
6
I understood cured many cases given up by all other physicians, I ap-
plied to him,  and for my own happiness,  and I hope that of others, I
now certify he has cured me in the space of three weeks.   During my
life he shall have my best and sincere acknowledgements.
                  THOMAS BROADIE,  75 Charlton-st. New-York.
     INDIGESTION,  or  DYSPEPSY.
   This disease chiefly arises in persons betwen thirty aud forty years
 of age, and is principally to  be  met with in those who  devote  much
 lime to study, or who lead either a very sedentary or irregular life.   A
 great singularity attendant on it is, that it may, and often does continue
 a great length of time,  without any aggravation or remission  of  the
 symptoms.  The  disease is a frequent attendant on chronic weakness.
 Great grief and uneasiness of mind, intense study, indolence,  profuse
 evacuations, excess in hard drinking, particularly of spirituous liquors,
 irregularity of life, too frequent a  use of warm diluent liquors, and  of
 tea, tobacco, opium, and other narcotics, immoderate repletion and over-
 distension of the stomach, very frequent rejection of the saliva, in con-
 sequence of smoking or chewing tobacco, or a diminution or interrup-
 tion of the due secretion of it, a deficiency  in the secretion of the bile
 disease of the liver and  spleen, and exposure  to moist and cold air
 when without exercise, are the causes which  usually occasion dyspepsy.
                       CERTIFICATE.
   This is to inform that I have been for a long  time past troubled with
dyspepsy, and having received advice and followed the prescriptions  of
several physicians, without receiving any relief, I went to  the hospital
and remained there two weeks.   Finding I was receiving no benefit, I
left and applied to  Dr. Chabert, Broadway, who  in a very short time en-
tirely cured me, for which I return my sincere thanks.
                         EDMOND BALE,  73 Houstoun-st. N. Y.
     SCROFULA,  or  SING'S  EVIL.
   Scrofula consists in hard, indolent  tumours of the conglobate glands
in various parts of the body ;  but particularly in the neck behind the ears,
and under the chin, which after a time, suppurate  and degenerate into
ulcers; from which instead of pus, a white curdled matter, somewhat
resembling the coagulum of milk, is  generally discharged.   The  first
appearance of the disease is most usually between the third and seventh
year of the child's age, but it may arise at any period between these and
the age of puberty; after which it seldom  makes its first attack.
   The exciting causes of this disease, are such as tend to increase de-
bility ; such as the measles, scarlet fever, small pox, &c. &c.
                        CERTIFICATE.
   My daughter has been  considerably afflicted with the Scrofula, or
King's Evil,  and  I have spent a large amount without any relief to her.
I went to Dr. Chabert,  who applied vegetable poultices,  and in a short
lime completely cured my daughter.
                              M.  ENDERS, 106 Varick-st. N. Y.

                    fistTula.
   The term Fistula is applied to those kind of ulcers, which are very 
7
obstinate in their character, and which are attended  with  hardness and
sinuous openings, or orifices with callous edges.  The causes of Fistula
are numerous,  such as the costiveness and relaxation of  the sedentary
habits, high living, bruises, piles, stricture of the urethra, &c.
                        CERTIFICATE.
   I have been  in a  most  distressed way for a long time past, with a fis-
 tula in my leg.   I was attended by several physicians to no purpose, only
 expense; but having  applied to  Dr. Chabert, his application to my leg
 ccmpleted my cure, so that I am now well and able to attend to my bu-
 siness.                 MONTGOMERY L. MEEDS,
   New-York, July 8, 1833.                   No.  30 Vandam-st.

     PULMONARY~CONSUMPTION.
   Pulmonary  consumption is accompanied with  general emaciation,
 debility, pain in the side or chest, some degree of dyspnoea after walk-
 ing or speaking, and a cough, which usually proves most troublesome
 towards morning.  In an advanced stage, purulent expectoration ensues,
 with hectic  fever and  diarrhoea.
   Pulmonary  consumption is divided into two stages, viz. the incipi-
 ent and confirmed ; or in other words, into the acute and chronic, which
 terms convey a coirect idea of the nature of the inflammation attendant
 upon the first stage of phthisis, and of the  termination of such inflam-
 mation in the last stage, in which either ulceration or great excretion of
 purulent matter  1akc3 place.  Pulmonary consumption does not often
 occur, till after the age of puberty ;  but in some cases  it is evidently
 formed before  that period  by turbercles arising.    Women  are  more
subject to it than men,  as well from their going more slightly clad, as from
 the  greater  delicacy of their organizalion.   The causes which predis-
 pose to this disease are very numerous: the following are, however, the
 most general:  hereditary disposition, particular formation of the body,
 obvious by a long neck, prominent shoulders,  and narrow chest.  Con-
 sumption is very frequent in cold and variable  climates, while it  is
 comparatively rare  in those of an opposite nature.   The disease may
 arise from the nature of the employment, viz.   The dust to which needje
 pointers, stone  cutters, millers, painters, &c. are exposed.   Over action
in speaking or  singing, playing on wind instruments, excessive debauch-
ery, &c. and from  continuing to suckle too  long under a debilitated
state, &c.
                        CERTIFICATES.
   This  is  to certify,  that I have had a pain in my breast, and an  affec-
 tion of the  lungs,  for the last three years.  I have  tried a number  of
 remedies, but without any relief.  Having heard of Dr. Chabert, I ap-
plied to him,  and  purchased three bottles of his pulmonary syrup,
which have completely relieved and cured  me.
               JOSEPH S.  MARTIN,  195  Cherry-st. N. York.
  I was severely afflicted and confined to my bed for a long time, with
a pulmonary  complaint, my lungs  were so affected that I brought up
large quantities of blood; my voice was so feeble that 1 could not be
heard above a whisper, and  1 was altogether in such a distressing state,
that I had given up all hopes of recovering.  I had been attended by 
s
 several physicians without receiving any benefit, but all to no purpose.
 At last a friend of mine,  who had been cured of chronic rheumatism
 by Dr. Chabert, advised me to send for him, which I did.   He gave
 me medicines, which in a few days so far restored me, that I was able
 to walk out, and now am enjoying better health than I have for a long
 time past.            CATHARINE  HA.\E, 80 Wooster-st. N. Y.

   Dear Sir,—Believing that  by so doing I should be discharging my
 duty to my fellow-Creatures, as well as a debt of gratitude to yourself,
 I send ycu the following cases of my wife and child, who have, I have
 no doubt,  (under Providence)  been snatched from the grave by the
 timely  use of your anti-consumption  syrup.   The first time  that I be-
 came aware that my wife's  lungs were affected, w^as about four months
 back,  when she  was seized with a violent spitting  and vomiting of
 blood which returned at stated intervals, and so debilitated her constitu-
 tion, as to make it appear next to impossible that she should ever reco-
 ver.  She has now taken several bottles of your anti-consumption syrup,
 according to the directions.   She began taking it while labouring troer
 one of the  fits of vomiting of blood, and I may say with truth, that the
 very first dose put an entire stop to it.   She is now enjoying  compara-
 tive good  health.   My child was  affected with the  whooping  cough, in
 an unusually severe degree ; but here, as in the case of my wife, the ef-
 fects of your syrup were truly wonderful.   For the future I shall not
 consider mysdf safe without having a bottle of your  syrup in  the house,
 and with it,  I firmly believe,  I may put all diseases  of the lungs at  defi-
 ance.  You are at liberty to put this before the public, suoh  being the
 object for which I write it.   I remain,  dear sir, &c.
                           JOHN BUOGUA, 320 Broadway, N. Y.

                       DROPSY.
  Dropsy is a preternatural or morbid accumulation  of a serous or watery
 fluid in some parts of the body, impeding or preventing to the particular
 situations in which it is lodged.  The remote  or occasional causes of
 dropsy are numerous and various, hereditary, or family predisposition;
 drinking cold liquids when the body is in a heated state ; acutediseases
 of various kinds, as fevers, dysentery, &c.; diseased bowels, jaundice,
 intermittent fevers, gout, great loss of blood, and other  profuse evacua-
 tions; excessive  use of strong liquors, habitual indigestion, scurvy, ex-
 posure to a cold or moist atmosphere, &o. Sec.
                       CERTIFICATES.
  I have been afflicted for some time with dropsy.  I was swollen to such
 an extent,  that I was fearful I should be obliged to  be tapped.   At this
 time I was  advised to send  for Dr. Chabert.   He  prepared  me medi-
 cines, which in a few  days reduced  my  size considerably, and in the
course of three or four weeks entirely cured me.   I take this opportunity
 of returning my thanks to him for the benefit I have received.
                        CESAR GARNET, 137 Barrow-st. N. Y.

  Dear Sir—It is with the greatest pleasure that I return you my sincere
 thanks for the good you have done me by restoring  me to health and to
my family.   I had taken five bottles of panacea, and a great number of
British pillg, without relief, and had been attended by a  great number of 
9
medical men, but none of them could effect my cure.   One said I had
the liver complaint, another that the heart was affected, another that it
was some other complaint.  It was the general opinion among my fellow
workmen at the glass works, that I could not live long, and I  began to
think so myself; I had tried all kind  of medicine for a year without re-
lief.  My body and legs were swollen to such a size, that I could scarcely
get on my clothes, accompanied by palpitation of the heart.  I was wholly
unable to attend to  my business, and many times I could not walk across
the room.  My friends at length  advised me to  apply to you, which I
did.  iou at once pronounced my disorder dropsy, occasioned by an
affection of the liver.   Soon after you took me in hand, I  began to find
relief—in  seven weeks I could attend to my business, and I am happy
to state, that  at  this time I am in the full  enjoyment of my health.  I
request that you make this public, that others may receive the benefit of
your skilful aid.

            At Messrs. I. & R.  Fisher's Glass Works, Bloomingdale.

   This is to  certify, that I have been afflicted with general dropsy for
several months, during which time I  have  had recourse  to many physi-
cians to procure relief, from none of  whom could I obtain more than a
temporary  alleviation  of  my disease.  My  sufferings were great, inso-
much that I had resigned  all hopes of living  many days longer.   When
I accidentally heard of Dr. Chabert,  from reading in one of the daily
papers a certificate of  a cure made by him, of a person who was afflicted
similar to  myself.   I  immediately sent for the doctor, and solicited his
aid, and I now have the extreme satisfaction of announcing to the public,
that by his treatment I have been entirely restored to my former health,
for which I shall be ever grateful.
                               STEPHEN WEEKS, N.Y., 1834.

   These certificates,  together  with a great number of others, from Mr.

                  St. Vitus's  Dance.
   This disease is marked by convulsive actions, most generally confined
to one side, and  affecting principally the arm and leg.   When any mo-
tion is attempted to be made, various fibres of other muscles  act which
ought not, and thus a contrary effect is produced from what the patient
intended.   It is chiefly incident to young persons of both sexes, but par-
ticularly those of a weak constitution, or whose health and vigour have
been impaired by confinement, or by the  use of scanty and  improper
nourishment; and makes its attacks between the age of ten and sixteen,
occurring but seldom after that of puberty.   St.  Vitus' Dance is occa-
sioned by various  irritations, as teething,  worms, acrid matter in  the
bowels, offensive smells, poisons, &c.   It arises likewise in consequence
of violent affections of the mind,  as horror, fright, and anger.  Occa-
sionally it depends upon an excessive impulse of blood in the brain, and
in such cases  it  is greatly aggravated by whatever increases the action
of the  heart, and of course relieved  by  means  that  lessen  this.  In
many cases it is produced by general weakness and irritability of the 
10
nervous  system, and in a few it takes place from sympathy at seeing the
disease in others, or by imitating them.
                         CERTIFICATES.
   I feel it my duty to make public for the benefit of those afflicted, that
during the latter part of June last, my daughter, aged about seven years,
was attacked by St. Vitus'  Dance, which rendered her completely deaf,
dumb, and deprived her of the  use of both arms, and grea'ly affected
one side of her body.   In  this situation she lingered, wastir   away be-
yond the hope of recovery, when laying all medical aid thei. rendered
aside, I applied to Dr. Chabert, who, agreeably to his promise, effected
an entire and  perfect cure  in less than three weeks.   He  has likewise
cured of same disease,  a  little  girl  (Mclvers) living at  the  corner of
Mulberry and Hester-street.   My motive for so long delaying the certi-
ficate was, to test the efficacy of his cure.  I find now, thank  God, that
I am not deceived.
                    ANDREW C.  BYRNE, 353 Broome-st. N.Y.

   This is to certify, that I  have been afflicted  for twelve months past
with a nervous disease, called by physicians St. Vitus's Dance.  My
health also being  in the most debilitated state.  Having sought in vain
from a great many  physicians for some aid, I was finally induced to send
for Dr. Chabert, who, after  having examined my complaint, administered
to me medicines, wbjch have completely cured me.
                                 MRS. C.  ROW, N. Y. 1834.

   This is to certify, that I was for a long time afflicted with St. Vitus'
Dance.   I had advice from many physicians of this city for my disease ;
from the many who attended  me, I did not derive  the  least benefit.
Having heard of the skill of Dr. Chabert, in cases of this  kind, I was
determined to state my case to him, 1 did so ; he said he could cure me.
I  thought it impossible,  as  I had, as i thought,  as good medical advice
as could be procured in this city.  1 consented to undergo a  course of
medicine, which he assured me would cure me;  suffice it to say, he
performed in a very short time a perfect cure, for which I take this op-
portunity of returning mv thanks.
                     JOSEPH BROWN, 87 Chrystie^st. N. Y.

   My little child,  about six years of age, was  for a long  time afflicted
with St. Vitus' Dance.   I had the advice of a number of doctors—they
all pronounced her as incurable.  Having seen in the papers  accounts
of cures performed by Dr. Chabert, I gave him a call.   He  stated to
me that he had cured many of the same complaint,  and had no doubt
he could perform the same cure upon  my child.   I put her under his
•are, and in a very short time had the satisfaction of seeing  her com-
pletely restored to health.
                   ABRAHAM  SCHOUTER, 148 Walker-st.

   I was afflicted with the St. Vitus' Dance for a long time, I  could get
no relief from many physicians who attended me;  I sent  for  Dr. Cha-
bert, having  heard of his wonderful skill in curing this disease.  He
gave me medicines, which  in a short time removed the complaint, and
I now enjoy very good health.     MRS.  GOSWELL, Third Avenue.

                   DIARRHOEA.
   Diarrhcea eonsisls  in  frequent and copious discharges of feculent
 matter by stool, accompanied by griping, and often at first with a slight
degree of vomiting, but unattended either by inflammation, fever, of con-
 tagion.  The presence of these, with tenesmus, and an evacuation of
 blood and purulent mucus, with  hardened balls or scybala, instead of
 natural foeces, which prevail in dysentery, will enable persons to discern
 the two diseases from each other.  It is to be distinguished from cholera
 morbus by the discharges  not being very bilious, and also by there being
 no vomiting of bile.  In diarrhcea, each discharge is usually preceded
 by a murmuring noise and flatulence in the intestines, together with a
 sense of weight  and uneasiness in the lower part of the belly; which
 cease on the discharge taking place, but are again  renewed before the
 one which is to succeed ensues.   The appearance of the stools is vari-
 ous,  sometimes they are  thinner than natural,  from  the admixture of a
 larger quantity of fluid poured out by the exhalants of the intestines than
 common.   Sometimes they  are slimy, and sometimes they are green,
 when first discharged ; sometimes they are evacuated of a yellow colour,
 but become green on exposure to the air;  and now  and then are  of a
 dark brown colour, and very fetid.
   The disease may arise  from a disorganized state of the  towels, pro-
 duced by exposure to cold, wet, great heat, or from  a too copious use
 Of acid or unripe  fruit.  In its first stages it is checked, but after a timg
 it either  leads to  other diseases, or becomes constitutional, ending only
 with  life.
   It  would Only be trespassing on the public to publish certificates of
 persons cured of this and mart) uher diseases of daily occurrence.

                   JAUNDICE.

   Jaundice is  characterized  by a yellowness of the  skin1,- more espe-
 cially observable in the tunica conjunctiva of the eyes, a bitter taste  in
 the mouth,  a sense  of pain or uneasiness in the right hypochondrium,
 whitish or clay-coloured  foeces, and the urine obscutely  red, tinging
 things dipped into it of a yellowish colour.   The immediate cause of
jaundice is an obstruction of the bile in its passage into the duodenum.
 The  remote or occasional causes  are the bites of poisonous animals, as
the viper, mad dog, &c. a coarse  and bad  diet,  obstruction or repres-
sion of the necessary discharges.  It is also brought  on by a Suppres-
sion of intermittent fevers, particularly of quartans by astringents, and
by violent passions of  the mind, as grief, and anger, &c. violent vomits
oi* purges will  sometimes also  bring  on this disease, as will a  sudden
draught of cold water, when the body is very  hot.  It is also  a symp-
tom in several kinds of fever, and pregnant women are very subject to it.'
                         CERTIFICATES.

  This is to certify, that I was some time since troubled with jaundice.
I had advice from different physicians, without receiving any benefit.  I
was induced from what I  had heard of Dr. Chabert, to get  his advice,
he gave me medicine, which in a short time cured me.

  I was for a long time suffering from a disease called jaundice, I had
taken a great  deafof medicine for it, but without receiving any benefit.
I also had the advice of a doctor, but he could not relieve me.  I was
in duced to call on Dr. Chabert, as I had heard he had cured a great
many persons  of the same disease.  He  promised he would cure me
in a short time; I took such medicine as he gave me, and after a short
time I was entirely well of my complaint.
                            THOMAS  GRAN, Madison-st.  N. Y.

  I take this method of  returning my thanks to Dr. Chabert, for curing
me  of adisease called jaundice, which I had  been trouoled with for a
great length of time.  I had taken different kinds of medicine, which
my  friends told me would do me good, but I did not receive any benefit
from them.  I was also advised to have the advice of a physician, which
I did ;  but it was  only  incurring an  expense for nothing.  I had given
up all hopes of getting better.   At this time some friend told me I had
better send for Dr. Chabert; I did so ;  he gave me medicines, which in
a very short time restored me to perfect health.

          HCEMORRHOIS  or PILES.
  The  piles consist of small tumours situated  on the  verge of the
anus, which  are sometimes separate, round and prominent, but some-
times the tumour consists only of one tumid or varicose ring surround-
ing it.   In some cases there is a discharge  of blood from these tumours,
particularly when the patient goes to stool, and then the disease is known
by the name of bleeding piles;   and in others there is  no discharge,
when  it is called blind piles.  These affections may be occasioned by
habitual costiveness,  plethora, hard  riding,  excesses of various  kinds,
the suppression of some  long-accustomed evacuation, and by a use of
strong aloetic purges,  and are most  apt  to arise in  those of a robust
habit, and who lead a sedentary  life.  Pregnant  women  are frequently
afflicted with piles, owing to the pressure of the uterus upon the rectum,
which interrupts the return of venous blood from  that part, and the cos-
tive habit to  which such women are usually liable.


                     TOOTHACHE.
   The toothache consists in an acute pain in one or more of the  teeth ;
but most generally it originates in one, and from that is diffused  to the
adjacent parts.  A caries  of the tooth itself, acted  upon  by  different
irritating causes, such as the application of cold, or some acrid matter,
is the most usual cause of this complaint;  but in  some cases it would
seem to proceed from a rheumatic affection of the  muscles and  mem-
branes of the jaw ; and here the whole side of the face will be  affected.
 When it takes place in pregnancy, it is to be considered as arising either
 from an increased irritability, or from sympathy.
   This troublesome and vexatious pain can  be  cured by his toothache
 drops, so celebrated by the name of the Fire King's remedy for  tooth-
 ache.  It is warranted  free  from  acid,  and to  be of service to both
 teeth and gums.   Any person purchasing a bottle, and failing to  obtain 
13
relief, after following the directions, can have it cured free of charge, by
calling at the store.  Among the numerous lists of certificates of its  ef-
ficacy, the following, from a medical gentleman of high  respectability,
he trusts will be quite sufficient.

                              Washington City, March 22d, 1832.
  Mons. Chabert—Through a grateful sense of the benefit I have re-
ceived from the use of your elixir, and to encourage others  to  avail
themselves of so valuable a remedy, I cheerfully render you the follow-
ing statement:—I have for years suffered  much with the toothache,
and have had  several  teeth  extracted  on that  account, though but
slightly decayed.   This has proportionally enhanced  the  value of the
remainder, which  induced me to make a trial of your elixir, in  a recent
attack of the most excruciating character ; the effect of the  application
was an   almost instantaneous relief.  I am  further convinced of  its
power to effect a thorough and permanent cure from the  fact,  that the
diseased tooth became immediately insensible to hot or cold liquids ap-
plied to  it;  whereas for several weeks before, it had been unable to en-
dure either.  I also entertain the belief, that if your elixir had  been at
hand on former occasions, I might at this moment enjoy the benefit of
those teeth I have had extracted, on account of the afflicting malady of
which you have discovered the antidote.  Yours respectfully,
                                               R. MAYO, M. D.

   The  above toothache drops are  put up in phials, and for  sale at his
store, with the following directions.
                          Directions for use.

   When the tooth is diseased, clean out the hollow with  a little cotton
on the point of a probe, and when  quite dry, stop the  hole  with a  small
piece of German-tinder, (sold with the bottle,) steeped v/ith the Sapayas
elixir, and put it in the affected tooth, it will immediately dispel the most
violent pain.  When many teeth and the gums are affected at the  same
time, the mouth should be washed with the elixir,  mixed with water,
in the proportion  of tenor fifteen drops of  the former, to a small  wine
glass full of the latter.  If there is any rheumatism occasioned by one or
several decayed teeth, take a sheet of brown paper, spread upon it about
a tea spoonful of the essence, apply it  on the exterior of the  affected
jaw, where it must be left till dried, and wash the interior of the affected
with a few drops of the pure elixir.   Should the cheek or jaw be swoln,
the inflammation must be reduced by fomentation previous to  the  appli-
cation of the medicine to the tooth.  For the cure of the scurvy it must
be taken in  wine,  beginning with ten drops for a dose, every morning be-
fore breakfast, in a small glass full of pure wine, increasing three  drops
every day, to the number of thirty-six drops, and then the same dose to
be continued till  the recovery is  complete.  Delicate persons  and
children, to begin with six drops only,  and not to  exceed  twenty-four
drops for a dose.   It will also be found to be an excellent preservative
U \i:t   .i'land gums, by washing  the  mouth  once a day for several
t iys, aud afterwards occasionally, witii the elixir, mixed  with water, in
equal quantities.   Price 50 cents per bottle.

Ophthalmia* or Inflammation of the Eye.

  Ophthalmia is of two kinds, viz., the idiopathic and symptomatic, the
latter proceeding either from diseases of the eye,  or parts  in its  neigh-
bourhood, or from diseases of the system ; and  the former from  the
causes hereafter assigned.  In  ophthalmia, the inflammation  is seated
either in the membranes of the eye, its deep-seated  parts,  muscles,  and
the lachrymal gland, or in the sebaceous glands placed  in the edges ot
the eyelids ; but sometimes all these parts are affected,  in consequence
of sympathy ; and indeed it rarely happens that any  of  these suffer in
a considerable degree without the inflammation extending further. It
readily spreads along the conjunctiva, from the tarsi to  the eye, or in
the contrary direction.   When the conjunctiva is  much  inflamed, the
adnata  soon  partakes  of the inflammation ;  and  if the complaint in-
creases, it gradually spreads to the deep-seated  parts.  The  causes
producing ophthalmia are external injuries* such as blows,  contusions,
and wounds on the eyes ; extraneous bodies,  bleak winds  and cold ;
little inflammatory tumours called sties,  which  rise on the eyelids ;  va-
rious acrid  fumes acting as chemical stimuli, such as the smoke  of pit
coal, that of wood, turf,  &c, too free use  of vinous  and spirituous
liquors; the suppression of accustomed discharges  ; the long  applica-
tion of a strong light, or fixed attention  to minute  objects ; and an acri-
mony prevailing in the mass of blood, Sec.
                        CERTIFICATE.
       To Dr.  Chabert,
  Dear Sir—In gratitude to you for your invaluable services, I  tender
you the following certificate.  This is to certify, that on the 8th  day of
November, 1835, I was attacked with a violent inflammation of the eye,
which continued to rage with  such violence as to baffle all  medical aid,
and in January I became totally  blind.  Feeling  discouraged, I  re*
mained without doing much for them until April, when through the per-
suasion of friends, I was induced to make further  trial for the recovery
of my sight.  Consequently I went to  the New-York Eye Infirmary,
and being told by the physicians of that institution that  my  eyes were
run out,  I observed to them,  that there was  a person  said he  could
restore my  sight.  The doctor again examined my eyes, and said it was
impossible, as the sight of the eye had  entirely  run out.   Being  un-
willing to give up hope, I called on several of the most  eminent  physic
cians of our city, and they confirmed the statement made at the Infir-
mary.  Being without hope of ever seeing again, I did nothing except
using some simple wash to relieve them until  June last, when, through
the persuasion of  my friends, I was induced to call on Dr. Chabert.
The doctor, after examining my eyes, said he could restore my sight. I
accordingly put myself under his treatment, and now have the satisfac-
tion of saying, that I can see about the city without difficulty, and I think
my sight is still improving very fast.  CHARLES  F. CRAWFORD,
                               441 Bowery, N. Y. Nov. 15th, 1836.
  Dear Sir-—In gratitude to you for your invaluable services, I send you
the following certificate.
  This is to certify, that in the month of May last, my son was attacked
with a violent inflammation in the left eye, which continued to increasn 
15
until September, though various means were applied to  no effect.  In
the latter part of September, I was induced to call on Dr. Elliot, who
examined the eye, and pronounced it entire gone.  Being unwilling to
give up hope, I called on several physicians, and they all confirmedthe
statement made by Dr. Elliot.  I was induced to  call on Dr. Chabert,
Broadway;  the doctor, after examining his eye, said he  could restore
the sight.   I accordingly put  the boy under his treatment; and now
have the satisfaction  of saying, that he is fully restored, and all outward
appearances of inflammation disappearing very fast.
                        HENRY  W.  FISHER, No. 6 B?yard-st.N. Y.

   This is to certify,  that I was afflicted with a blindness in my eyes for
four years, during which time I applied to the Eye Infirmary, and had
recourse to other medical aid, but all to no purpose, my  blindness con-
tinuing.  I then called  on the celebrated Dr.  Chabert, by whose skill
one of my eyes has been restored,  and the other is in a fair way of re-
covery.  He is the only one who has helped my eyes,
                          JAMES BURNETT, 133 Chrystie-at. N. Y.

   This is  to  certify, that my wife  having been afflicted  with blindness
for five years, during which time she  received the best medical aid,  but
with no relief: I, as a last resource, was advised by my friends to try
Dr. Chabert, which I did, and in the space of two months she was cured.
                              THOMAS SHAFF, No. 88, Bowery.

   Dear  Sir—With pleasure  I give you the following certificate, viz.
That after nine years blindness, and travelling through eleven states in
the union, and after receiving advice  from some of the most eminent
surgeons and physicians, such as Dr. Physick,  Dr. Rodgers, Delafield,
&c, I  have  recently received  more aid from Dr. Chabert, than from all
the applications heretofore made.
                                       I. BURNS, No. 88 Bowery.

   This will inform that I have been afflicted with almost total blindness,
occasioned by ophthalmia of my eyes, having had advice  from several
physicians, and also  tried several remedies  recommended to  me  by
friends, but all to no purpose, I began to despair of ever  receiving  the
use of my eyes again, but fortunately I heard  of Dr.  Chabert, that won-
derful and truly great m?n in his profession, and was determined to give
him a trial, as I was told he  had performed  some almost miraculous
cures of the  diseases  of the eyes.  I did so, and underwent a course of
medicine, which has  entirely restored  my sight, and  I  now  enjoy as
good health as ever.

                      DEAFNESS.
  Deafness is occasioned by any  thing that proves injurious to  the ear,
as loud noises from the firing of cannon, violent colds, particularly af- 
16
fecting the head,  inflammation  or ulceration of the membrane,  hard
wax,  or  other substances interrupting sounds;  too great a dryness,  or
too much moisture in the parts, or by atony, debility,  or paralysis  of
the auditory nerves.  In some instances  it  ensues  in  consequence  of
preceding diseases, such as fever, scarlatina,, ulcerated sore-throat, in-
flammation in  the  ear, terminating in  extensive  ulceration,  syphilis,
smili pox, measles, and scrofula;  and in others it  depends  upon an
original defect in the structure or formation of the ear.
                       CERTIFICATES.
   This may certify, that I was oerfectly  deaf in  the  right ear,  and  vas
otherwise very ill.   I applied to Dr. Chabert, who by some  application
removed  the deafness in less  thai half an hour, and I am  otherwise get-
ting on well.
                 DAVID McDONALD, Canal-st. N. Y. June 9,1834.

   7, Henry Mott, do certify,  that I have been deaf from my  childhood,
requiring to be spoken to very loud, and even then, I was more guided
by the movement of the lips  of the speaker than by  his  voice.   I had
an inclination to apply to Dr. Chabert, but was recommended not  so to
do by several persons, for fear he should kill me.  Finding  at last that
nothing else could do me good, I applied to  him, in spite ofthose mis-
representations.  In a few applications, which were not at all  painful,
he has restored, or rather given me my hearing.

            Fluor  Albus,  or  Whites.

   This disease is marked by the discharge  of a thin white,  or yellow
matter from the uterus and vagina, attended likewise  with some decree
of foster, smarting in making water, pains in the back and loins, anorexia,
and atrophy.   Injury done to the  parts by difficult and  tedious labours,
frequent  miscarriages,  immoderate flowings of  the menses,  profuse
evacuations, poor diet, an inactive and sedentary life, and other causes
giving rise to general debility, or  to a laxity of'the parts  more immedi-
ately concerned,  are those which usually produce the whites.
   This certificate is among many he has received, and who have re-
ceived the same benefit that the undersigned has.
   Having been afflicted for a long time with the  whites, or fluor albus,
as the doctors  call  it, and  having used the common  remedies for  it'
without receiving any relief,  I was  compelled to get the advice  of a
physician, and after following his prescriptions for a length of time, and
finding I was getting no better, but worse from  weakness, induced  me
by the wish of an acquaintance of mine, to  state  my  case to  Dr.  Cha-
bert, as she stated she had been cured by him of a similar  complaint.
I accordingly went  to the doctor,  not  expecting,  however,  to  receive
much benefit, as it  had been of long standing ; after  following his direc-
tions, together with the medicines he gave me, I  am  happy to say, I
was very agreeably disappointed,  and  am  now  enjoying  a full  state  of
health-                  CATHARINE HARE, White-st. N. Y.

        Chlorosis, or  Green  Sickness.

  It is well known that females from the age of twelve to sixteen, begin'
to menstruate, and which constitutes  a  critical period in their lives, as
health depends very much upon this discharge.  It is liable, frOm vari-
ous causes, to become obstructed at the period when it ought to  appear,
and when this takes place, it is attended with very painful or serious ef-
fects ;  and if nature.is not assisted, the health is impaired, or the consti-
tution undermined, inducing consumption, or some other complaint'.
  The remote caUse of this complaint is most frequently  suppressed
perspiration; and it may arise in part, by an inactive and sedentary life,
and such habits as are peculiar to the higher classes of society,  particu-
larly in cities and towns.   The proximate cause of it seems to be a want
of power in  the  system, arising from inability to propel the blbod into
the  uterine vessels with sufficient force to open their extremities, and to;
allow a discharge of blood from them.   Soon after the  commencement
of the disorder, the countenance is observed to have become rather pale
and thin: and the lips are pale, and, with the chin, are frequently affect-
ed  with an  appearance of biley and clammy  perspiration, especially
about the nose ;  and there is usually a degree of sallowness and dark-
ness of the  complexion in general, but principally about the eyes and
nouth.  The face is sometimes rather  bloated', and the skin somewhat
c >arsish at first, but afterwards there is some degree of emaciation.  The
tongue is almost invariably much loaded, sometimes,  however, only
slightly, whitst its edges are clean and  red.  In severe cases, the teeth
and mouth are foul, the saliva is viscid, the breath tainted, the skin coof,
moist, and clammy, the hands and feet are usually cold, the fingers ra-
ther livid, and the nails frequently assume a lilac hue ;  sometimes  thera
is a distressing cough, &c.
  The above complaints are so common, and so easy managed  by mitt,
never  failing  to perform  a cure, that he trusts the following Certificate
will be sufficient*
                         .CERTIFICATE.

  Some time since,  being seized with a violent  fit of sickness,  occa-
sioned by green  sickness  and general debility, and the  family in whose
service I was, fearing I should be a burthen and expense to them-, forced
me to" go away,  so as to get well elsewhere:  1 dragged myself as far as
the hospital  gate, where, however, I was refused admittance, for want of
room; much exhausted as 1 was, I presented myself at the door of Dr.
Chabert, whose  humanity could not see, without a feeling of painT the
miserable state which I was in.  He received me, therefore, without any
hesitation, ordered right away a comfortable bed  to be prepared in his
servant's chamber, and there for a whole week did lavish on me  those
kind cares I stoed so much in need of.   I am now so perfectly well that
I have retaken to my daily labour.  It is also but true and just for me to
say, that he  not only furnished me with whatever I stood in need of,  but
would not receive any thing for his generous attentions, all which consti-
tuted a new proof of his philanthropy, to be added  to  the  very many
which are everywhere  related of that truly worthy gentleman,  who for
the good of suffering-humanity ought never to die.

     Immoderate Flour of the Menses

  A flow of the menses is  to  be considered as immoderate, when it
either returns more frequently  than what is natural, continues longer
than ordinary, or is more abundant than is  usual with the same person
at other times.   Its  causes  may be  referred to a fulness of habit, ac-
cidents, violence, exercise or passion, strains, costiveness, wet and cold
to the feet, frequent childbearing, or miscarriage, a sedentary life, grief,
poor diet, indulgence in  spiritous liquors, or any thing which enervates
either the mind  or body.  The disease is  often preceded by  headach
or giddiness, and is  afterwards  attended with  pains in  the back  and
loins, some degree of thirst,  universal heat,  and a frequent strong pulse ;
but when it arises from a laxity of the organ,  or  general  debility, the
symptoms which attend,  are paleness of visage,  chilliness, unusual fa-
tigue in exercise, a hurried respiration on the slightest  effort, pains in
the  back, coldness in the extremities, loss  of appetite,  indigestion, and
a long train of the usual  nervous feelings.

          Suppression of the Menses.
                    tt-r
   Any interruption occurring after the menstrual  flux  has once  been
established in its regular course, except  when occasioned by concep-
tion, is always to be considered as a case of suppression  and constric-
tion of the extremities of the vessels of the  uterus;  arising from  acci-
dental circumstances, such as cold, anxiety of mind, fear,  sudden terror
or fright,  inactivity of body, the frequent use of acids, and other seda-
tives, &c. is the cause which evidently produces a suppression of the
menses.   In some few cases it appears as a symptom of other diseases,
and particularly of general debility in the  system.   Herein  there is a
want of the necessary  propelling force or  due action of the vessels.—
When the menstrual flux has been suppressed for  any  considerable
length of time, it not unfrequently happens, that the blood which should
have passed off by the uterus, being determined more copiously and for-
cibly to other parts, gives rise to  haemorrhages ;  hence it is  frequently
poured out from the  nose, stomach, lungs, and other parts, in such cases.
At first,  however,  febrile or  inflammatory  symptoms appear, the
pulse is hard and frequent, the skin hot, and there is a severe pain in
the head, back, and  loins.   Besides, being  subject to these occurrences,
the patient is likewise much troubled with costiveness, colic pains,  and
dyspeptic and hysteric symptoms.
   Having numerous certificates of cures, I do not think it necessary to
publish them,  but that the public may be assured  of  the  fact,  I would
merely insert the following.  Those who will please favour me with a
call at my office, can be satisfied  by a perusal of a number of the  same
description.

   For a long time I  was afflicted with the suppression  of the menses,
together with violent headach, dimness  of sight,  a raking cough, with 
19
yellow and fetid risings during the night, rending pains in the arms and
legs, attended  with  awful  dreams.   Such were  the  torments  under
which I had laboured for a longtime, without  receiving any  help what-
ever from the many  doctors I had applied  to at various times,  when at
last it was my good fortune  to be  directed to Dr. Chabert,  Broadway,
who in the course of one month, has totally relieved me from  all my
sufferings and enabled me to resume my daily avocations, which I had
been obliged to abandon.   Considering my recovery as  mysterious, I
think it my duty to publish it for the  benefit of the  public, and also to
pay a just tribute to  Dr. Chabert, to whom  I  vow an eternal gratitude
for the great good he has done  me in renovating my health, and thus
prolonging my existence.      ANN NELSON, 204 E. Broadway.

          FALLING  OFTHE WOMB.
   This complaint consists in a change  of  the  situation of the womb,
by which this organ falls much lower than  it   ought  to do.  In  some
cases it protrudes entirely without the vagina.   The  slighter cases are
therefore named a bearing down, and the more violent ones  a  descent,
or falling down of the uterus.   The complaint is met with  in  women
of every rank and age ; but more frequently  in those  who have had
several children, than  in such as have not had any.  Every disease
which induces general debility, or local weakness in  the passage lead-
ing to the womb in particular, may lay the  foundation of this  complaint;
hence immoderate venery,  frequent miscarriages,  improper treatment
during labour, and too early or a  long-continued erect  posture  of the
body soon after delivery, and in  some cases after abortion, are in mar-
ried women  the most common causes of the falling  of the womb.  In
the unmarried, it is  apt to  take place in consequence of  violent exer-
cise, such as jumping, dancing, riding,  lifting heavy weights, &c.
while out of order.  The following testimonial is  among the many
he has.

   Having been for  six months under the  care  of many doctors, for a
falling of the womb, attended  with  great  loss  of  blood ; being much
exhausted, and without experiencing the least  relief; but having heard
much of the extraordinary  cures performed in a number  of cases  by
Dr.  Chabert, I had  often thought during  my sufferings,  to send for
him, had it not been for people always frightening me so much about
him, saying, he certainly would poison me.  However, my sufferings
and great debility continuing in the increase daily, I finally did  resolve
to put  myself under his immediate care, and run the risk of  it, and it is
now my happiness to say, that in a very few days I  experienced a great
relief in my sickness, and in three weeks I regained my former healthy
state, which I have now fully enjoyed  for 'at least six months.  I am
happy in  publishing  the foregoing facts, which are due to  truth, and the
good he has rendered me.

        Epilepsy, or Falling Sickness.
   This disease consists in a sudden deprivation of the senses, accom-
panied with a violent convulsive motion of the whole body.   It attacks 
20
 by fits, which after a certain duration go  off,  leaving  the person most
 commonly in his usual state ;  but sometimes a considerable degree  of
 stupor and weakness remains behind, particularly where the disease has
 had frequent recurrences.   It is oftener met with among children than
 grown persons, and boys seem more subject to its attacks than girls.—
 Its returns are periodical, and its paroxysms commence more frequently
 in the night than the day, being somewhat connected with sleep.
    The  only disease with  which  epilepsy  can   be confounded,  is
 hysteria, and from this it may readily be  distinguished   by the  foaming
 at the mouth, gnashing of the teeth, blackness  of  the countenance, &c.
 together with the speedy termination of the fit  in sleep,  and the absence
 of the usual symptoms of hysteria, such as the palpitations of the heart,
 involuntary laughing, or weeping, &c. &c.
    The causes which give rise to  epilepsy,  are blows, wounds,  frac-
 tures, and  other injuries done to the head  by external violence,  together
 with plethora of the vessels  of the headj  lodgments  of  water in  the
 brain, tumours,  concretions,  polypi, and a deformity in the shape of the
 hones in   some interior  part of  the scull.   Epilepsy has also  been
 known  to arise from an affection of the spinal marrow,  and  it is to in-
 flammation in that part of  a more chronic form,  that those  shaking
 palsies which are attended with pain, have been imputed. Violent affec-
 tions of the nervous system,  sudden frights, fits of passion, great emo.-
 tions  of the mind,  frequent intoxications,  acute pains in  any part,
 worms in  the stomach or intestines, teething, the  suppression of some
 long accustomed evacuation,  too great emptiness  or repletion, and poi-
 sons received into the body, are  causes  which likewise produce epi-
 lepsy,
                       CERTIFICATES.
   This is to certify, that I have been for 25 years a victim  to that dis-
 tressing malady, called by  physicians  epilepsy, or falling sickness,
 during which time  my sufferings have been very great,  having most of
 the time from one to three fits a day.  I visited France and  England,
 through the advice of my friends, in order to obtain the medical aid of
 their most eminent physicians : as  I was  informed,  that if  I could be
 cured at all, it would be by obtaining access to  the distinguished phy-
 sicians of  those countries.  But I was disappointed  in my hopes ; for
 after remaining there a considerable time, and finding  myself getting
 worse instead of better, I abandoned all idea of being cured, and re-
 turned home by the first vessel bound for  New-Orleans, my residence,
 my mind filled with despair at my situation.  I had  not  been at home
 long before I heard of Dr. Chabert, and of the celebrity  he had  ob-
 tained in the cure of this as well as other diseases :  on  which I imme-
 diately determined to proceed to  solicit his  aid, which I  did.   He at
 once told me he could cure  me,  but stated, that as my disease  was of
 long standing, it would necessarily take some time.   1  took board at
 94 Catharine-street, and placed myself at. once  under his directions.—
 Suffice it to say, that it is now five months I have been under his care,
 and I  candidly assure the public, that I am  entirely free  from the dis-
tressing disease which has so long afflicted me,  and so much improved
>n  my general health and  spirits, that I can find no  words  to express
my gratitude to the man who  has  done  so much for  me.   I feel so
overjoyed,  so much elated in  my feelings, lest  I fear that it might stag- 
%\
ger the credulity of an enlightened public, I can only  wish that  long
life and prosperity may attend the steps of him who has truly given to
me a new existence, and proved by too miraculous  skill, his superiority
over all other physicians.        SIMON  LEASON, New-Orleans.
   I take this opportunity to make known to the public,  the gratitude I
feel to Dr. Chabert of this city, for having cured me of the most dread-
ful disease, viz. epilepsy, or falling sickness.  For  many years past I
have been a poor afflicted creature—a burden to  myself and friends—
my fits occurring  at intervals of a week or ten days, and leaving me at
the expiration of each attack, in a most wretched state,  so  that I was
unable the most of the time to attend to any business.  I sought for
medical aid in vain, until I applied  to Dr. Chabert,  who  after  a treat-
ment of two months, has restored me to a sound state of health.  Indeed,
when  I reflect upon my past condition, it seems almost  miraculous that
such a change could be effected in  so short a time.  By making this
statement public, you will confer a  favour on myself, and  I doubt not,
on the whole community.
                           F. T. BEYER, 139  McDougal-street.
   This may certify, that I was  seized  with  a violent  fit of epilepsy,
(produced by fright) and laboured  under all the most aggravated symp-
toms of that terrible disease, and had the   assistance of several physi-
cians, whose  remedies produced no  beneficial  effect.   I was  recom-
mended to send for  Dr.  Chabert, who,  in a few days, completely re-
lieved  me from the disorder ; a little weakness only remaining.   I make
this statement as an act of justice, and  that  others may  know where to
apply for relief.                            MARY WILLIAMS,

                          ITCH.
  The itch is evidently confined to the skin, and rarely affects the gene-
ral  system,  however great its irritation.  It arises most usually from in-
fection communicated by coming into immediate contact with the body
of a person already affected, or by wearing the same  clothes,  or lying
in the same bed-linen that  he has done ; but  it is sometimes  produced
by unwholesome  food, bad air, and  a neglect of cleanliness.   Those
who reside in a cold, mountainous situation,  seem particularly predi-
sposed to it.
  The itch shows  itself  in small pimples  about the fingers,  wrists,
hams &nd waist, which, after a short  time, become so many pustules,
and are attended with such an itching as to occasion a  constant desire to
scratch.
                  RINGWORM.
   This is a cutaneous disease, chiefly occupying the scalp,  but  some-
times other parts  of  the body, and arises most  frequently from coming
much in contact,  or using the same comb,  cap,  or hat,  with those al-
ready affected by it; but in some habits there seems  a predisposition
to it.   It is a disorder more frequently met with in warm climates  than
in cold ones ;  it is of a very contagious nature, and in inveterate cases is
very difficult to eradicate. 
22
                 SCALLED  HEAD.
  This  disease  consists in  a  chronic inflammation of the skin  of the
head, productive of a secretion of matter,  peculiar in  its  nature, and
capable  of propagating  the  complaint, if applied to the scalp of a
healthy person.   At first the eruption is confined to only a small por-
tion of the head ; but by degrees its acrimony is extended to the neigh-
bouring  parts, and at length the whole of the scalp  is corroded, and
beset with a scabby eruption.  Children  are  principally  affected with
it, particularly those of the poor ; hence it  evidently  arises  from un-
cleanliness, from  the want of a due  proportion of wholesome, nutritive
food, and  possibly from  bad nursing.   In many instances it is propa-
gated by contagion, either by using a  comb  imbued  with the  matter
from the head of  a  person  labouring under it, or by putting on his hat
or cap
ASTHMA.
  This disease is a spasmodic affection of the  lungs, which  comes  on
by paroxysms most  generally at night, and is  attended by a frequent,
difficult, and short respiration, together with a wheezing  noise, tight-
ness across the chest, "and a cough :  all of which  symptoms  are much
increased when the patient is in  a horizontal position.  Asthma  rarely
appears before the age of puberty, and seems  to attack men  more  fre-
quently than women,  particularly those  of a  full habit,  in whom  it
never fails by frequent repetition,  to occasion some  degree  of emacia-
tion.  It attacks one most frequent during the  heats of summer, and in
winter when heavy fogs or sharp cold winds prevail.
  When the disease  is attended  with accumulation and  discharge  of
humours from the lungs, it is called the humid  asthma ; but  when it  is
unaccompanied by any expectoration, it is known by the  name  of the
dry or spasmodic  asthma. Asthma, but more particularly the spasmodic,
is brought on by almost every thing which increases the action  of the
heart, and which stimulates and fills the vessels of the mucus  membrane.
Thus it is produced by intense heat, by  lightness of air, by severe ex-
ercise, by strong  mental emotions, by full meals, by stimulating drinks,
by exposure to cold  and atmospherical influence, and by certain effluvia,
as those of hay, whether new  or old, of sealing  wax,  and  other burn-
ing substances.
   Congestions of blood, or of serous and pituitous  humours in  the
lungs, noxious vapours arising  from a decomposition of lead  or arsenic,
impure and smoky air, cold and foggy  atmosphere,  sudden  changes of
temperature, scrofulous, rheumatic, gouty,  psoric and scorbutic acri-
 mony ; suppression of long-accustomed  evacuations ; frequent catarrhal
 attacks,  erratic gout, general  debility,  water in the chest,  polypi,  or
 concretions of grumous blood in  the large vessels, and  the like, are
 causes from which  this formidable disease may  arise in different in-
 dividuals.
                        CERTIFICATES.
   I  was for a long time severely afflicted  with an asthmatic affection, and
 had been attended by several respectable physicians, without  receiving 
23
any relief.  Having heard of the skill of Dr. Chabert, in curing difficult
cases, called upon him, and stated my case ; he said he could cure  me
in a few days.  I followed his prescriptions, and as he promised, in less
than a fortnight, was entirely free from the complaint, for which I  return
my thanks to  him for the benefit  I have received.
         DANIEL ROUKE,  24 Bedford-st. N. Y., March I, J834.
   I was for a long time  affected  with  the  asthma.  The difficulty of
 breathing was so great at times,  that I thought  I could  not much longer
 live.   1  had  tried different physicians, and also  different  remedies, but
 without receiving any relief.  At this time, while  I  was  thus  suffering
 under the above complaint, Dr.  Chabert's name and fame was spreading
 far and wide, of the wonderful  cures  he had performed, I was deter-
 mined to give him a trial, although I placed but  little confidence in his
 skill over other physicians ; but I am happy to state, that I was agree-
 ably disappointed, he  having performed a  perfect cure, and I now enjoy
 better health than I have done for a long time past.
                           JOHN GARC1E, Maiden-Lane, N. Y.
    I certify, that I was attacked  some time since with an asthmatic affec-
  tion, great difficulty in breathing, tightness across my chest,  and other
  pains, which made ne feel  miserable.   I applied to  Dr. Chabert, for
  relief he gave  me medicine,  which in a short time  performed a  per-
  fect cure.              WM. Y. BUCKOFF, Thompson-st. N. Y.


  Hepatitis, or Inflammation of the Liver.

    Pyrexia, tension,  and pain  of the  right hypochondrium,  often  pun-
  gent, as in  pleuritis,  but sometimes dull, pain in the clavicle  and top of
  the right shoulder, uneasy lying  on the left side, difficult respiration, dry
  coufh, and vomiting, are the characteristics of inflammation of the liver.
  Hepatitis has  generally been  considered  of two  kinds; the  one acute,
  the other chronic ; the former showing the essential character of genu-
  ine inflammation ; the latter exhibiting symptoms of less violence as to
  their inflammatory tendency,  but an  enlargement and hardness of the
  liver, with  an obtuse pain.
    Besides  the causes producing other inflammations, such as the  appli-
  cation  of cold, external injuries from  contusions, blows, &c,  this dis-
   ease may be occasioned by violent exercise, by intense summer heals,
   by long-continued intermittent and remittent fevers, by  high living, and
   an intemperate use  of vinous  and  spiritous liquors, but more particular-
   ly the  latter, and by various  solid concretions in  the substance  of  the
   liver.   Derangement of the digestive organs, suppressed secretions, in-
   flammations, compression, fevers, and mental solicitude, are  very  gene-
   ral causes  of obstructions and diseases of the liver.
                           CERTIFICATES.
     This is  to certify, that I  had  a violent attack  of the  liver complaint,
   the physician  who attended me could not relieve me.  I was advised to
   send for Dr. Chabert, I did so; and  after stating to him the  situation I
   was in, sent me medicine, which in a short  time gave  me  great relief,
   and I  now feel perfectly free  from any disorder.

   Some time since I was taken Very ill with the liver complaint; I had
pains in my shoulders, a difficulty in breathing, cough and vomiting ; I
took some simple medicine, which I got of the druggist, but it did me
no good.  I then sent for a doctor, he gave me different medicines for
several  days;   finding  I was  getting worse  instead of better,  I  dis-
charged him.   A friend of mine came to see tne,  and told me  I had
better send for Dr. Chabert, I did so ; and after taking a  few doses of
medicine he gave me, I began to feel a great  deal  better.   I continued
on with-his medicine, and in less than a week,  was well enough to leave
my room, and am now in the full enjoyment of health.
                            E. ADAMS, St. Mark's-place, N. Y.

   This is to  certify that I had the liver complaint very bad, so much so,
that I was confined to my bed a long time, and had different physicians
attending me; the medicine they gave me did  me no good ; still grow-
ing worse.   I made up my mind to  send for Dr.  Chabert, although I
did not credit the many reports  that  spread about  his wonderful skill,
and the great cures he had made,  which  had  been given  up by other
doctors, I was determined however, to give him a trial, which  I  don't
regret, as he  has entirely cured me.

                   NERVOUSNESS.
   Whatever tends to enervate the general  system may  be considered
as the primary cause  of nervous debility,  viz :  costiveness,  anxiety,
sedentary or luxurious mode  of living,  the  excessive use  of mercury,
disorder of the digestive organs, close application to  business, or lite-
rary pursuits.  The symptoms of this malady  are pretty well  known;
they mostly consist of general irratibility, pain  in the head, spasmodic
pains in the different parts of the body, sleepless  nights, and great de-
bility.
                       CERTIFICATES.

   This is to  certify, that  I have been for  a long time troubled with
nervous debility.  I was so weak and nervous,  that it was with difficulty
that I could walk, and could hardly hold any thing in  my  hands,  beino1
so very nervous.  I had taken a good  deal  of medicine,  but  could
find no relief.  Having heard of Dr. Chabert,  I  called upon  him,  he
said if  I would  follow his advice,  he  would  cure me ;  I promised I
would ; he gave me some of  his medicines, which I took, and found his
words come true, for I am now completely well.

   Having been  troubled with a general ^nervousness  and  debility  all
through my system, and having  the  advice  of physicians, and taking
large quantities of medicine  without doing me the least good, I applied
to Dr.  Chabert.   He, in a very short  time, afforded me great  relief,
and I  am now enjoying good health.

                TIC  DOULOUREUX.

   This is one of the most painful chronic complaints to which the hu-
 man frame is  subject.   Its true cause has not been satisfactorily ascer-
 tained, but it is generally supposed that the several ramifications of the
 second branch of the  fifth pair of nerves,  or the portio dura of the
 seventh, are the parts  chiefly affected by it.   Rheumatic and gouty ir-
 ritation may sometimes be the real source of neuralgic affections.  The
 most frequent seat of the affection is  the  nerves  over the cheek-bone,
 just below the orbit;  the aloe of the nose, Upper lip, teeth and gums.
   Tic douloureux commonly arises in persons of a delicate irritable ha-
 bit,  at that period of their lives when  the bodily strength begins to give
 Way—for the most part between the fortieth and fiftieth year ;g but it has
 (occurred at all ages, and in the strong as well as the debilitated, and is
 excited  into action by exposure to a  cold and humid atmosphere, by
 great fatigue* external violence, and by uneasiness of mind.

                        CERTIFICATES.

   This is to certify, that I have been  afflicted with that distressing dis-
 ease, called tic douloureux, for  seven years.  The right side of my
 face had been the seat of severe  suffering,  every nerve  at times ap-
 pearing  to  be stretched  to  its extreme  tension, accompanied  with
 twitching of the eyelids,  and weeping of the eyes, excruciating tooth*
 achs at  periods, convulsing  the whole  side of the head, and putting
 me in great agony.   I applied  to  several physicians of  this  city,  who
 gave me medicine,  and promised a speedy cure ;  but all they did for
 me was of no effect. I accidentally heard  of Dr. Chabert, and that he
 had performed wonderful cures in this case,  as well as other diseases;
 upon which I immediately called upon him, and made him acquainted
 with my sufferings.  He gave  me but two doses   of medicine, which
 has completely restored me to health; and in gratitude for what he has

   This is to certify, that I haVe been afflicted for some  months past with
 a  nervous   disease,  called tic  douloureux,  my face and jaws being
 principally the seat of  the disease, my health also being in a very  de-
 bilitated state.  Having applied to several physicians without success,
 I was finally induced to call upon Dr. Chabert; who  after having ex-
 amined my complaint, administered to me ttiedicines, which I  am happy
 to say>  have completely  cured me.

   I was afflicted  for  a  long time with a violent pain in my face.  I
thought it was  toothach  at first, but found out my mistake, as all  the
common tooth drops, &c. which generally gave me relief in this case,

 had no effect.   I was told it was rheumatism, and applied several things)
 for it, but all to no purpose.   So  great  was the pain, that I could not
 sleep at night.   I was advised to  call upon Dr. Chabert, which I  did $
 he at once said it  was tic douloureux, and gave me medicines, which
 in a short time cured me of that  most dreadful disease, for which  I re-
 turn my thanks.                      JOHN  WHITE, Old Slip.


   Having been afflicted  for several years  with  that distressing disease
 called tic douloureux, which for the severity of suffering it inflicts upon
 its victim,  language is inadequate to describe ;  and having been treated
 by numerous physicians without obtaining any relief, I gave way to feel-
 ings of despondency, and considered myself as beyond the reach of hu-
 man aid ; my head was  the seat of intense pain, the nerves dreadfully
 agitated, which caused the most excruciating agony, and which conti-
 nued at times  for twenty-four  hours  without the slightest  alleviation;
 added to this, in  the course of my treatment  by the several physicians
 to whom I applied for aid, I took large quantities of mercury, which fi-
 nally fell in my bones, causing me to feel great pain over my whole
 body, especially in falling weather, reducing me in the end to a state of
 emaciation, bordering on the grave.  In this extremity,  I heard of Dr.
 Chabert, and that he had made several cures in  cases of this  disease,
 which induced  me to send for him.  I took his  medicine, and placed
 myself fully under his care; suffice it to say, that, at the expiration of
 two months, I find myself wholly relieved from my distressing malady,
 the effects of the mercury eradicated from my system, and  my whole
frame restored to its energy, and total exemption from pain of any kind.
In truth, I consider myself as effectually brought back from decay to a
sound state of health—and gratitude compels  me to make this public
statement, in justice to my eminent benefactor, and that others groaning
 under protracted diseases, may receive the same benefit.

                  CHILBLAIN,

   Chilblains are  painful inflammatory  swellings, of a deep purple or
 leaden colour,  to  which the fingers, toes, heels, and other  extreme
 parts of the body,^ are subject, on being exposed to a severe degree of
 cold.  The pain  is not constant, but rather pungent, and  shooting at
 particular times,  and an insupportable  itching attends.  In some  in-
 stances the skin remains entire,  but in others  it  breaks and discharges
 a thin fluid.  When the degree of cold has been very great, or the ap-
 plicationlong continued, the parts affected are apt to mortify and slough
•off,  leaving a foul, ill-conditioned ulcer behind.
   Children  and old people  are more liable to be troubled  with chil-
 blains, than those of  a  middle age ;  and such as are  of a scrofulous
 habit, are remarked to suffer severely from  them.

                       WORMS.

   The human body  is infested with three kind of worms, viz. the as-
 carides, or small white worm ;  the  teres,  or  round worm; and the
 toenia,  or tape worm, which is flat, consists of many joints, and is usu-
 ally of a considerable length.   The last is,  however, more  rarely met
 with in this country than the others.  Different situations of the intes-
 tines have been mentioned as being occupied by each kind, particularly
 the rectum, as the seat  of the ascarides, where they are observed al-
 ways involved in mucus ; the teres  occupy the small  intestines  and
 sometimes the stomach ; the toenia, the  whole intestinal  tube, more es-
 pecially the illium.  Unwholesome food, with a bad digestion, seems to
 be the principal cause of worms.   They appear more frequently in those
 who are dyspeptie, or of a relaxed habit, and whose bowels contain a
 preternatural quantity of mucus,  or slimy matter.  Hence it is a disease
 more common to children ; but  they sometimes prevail in adults to a
 very high degree, particularly in  those who live chiefly  on a vegetable
 diet.  The tape  worm  is  not often met with in infancy or childhood ;
 instances of it do, however, now and then occur.   Worms may readily
 be distinguished  by the  following symptoms, viz.  variable appetite,
 fetid breath,  acid eructations, and pains  in  the  stomach, grinding of
 the teeth during sleep, picking of the nose, paleness of the countenance,
 hardness  and fulness of the belly, slimy stools, with  occasional griping
 pains, more particularly about the navel,  heat and itching  about the anus,
 short, dry  cough, emaciation of the bodj, slow fever, with evening
 exacerbations, and irregular pulse, and sometimes convulsive fits.

   Dr. J. X. Chabert, knowing"! that the skill of many  physicians and
 others are baffled, and  their treatment  prove unsuccessful to remove
 the above mentioned complaints would respectfully invite the attention
 of the public at large to his Specific for worms.  Dr.  Chabert has paid
 particular attention to the disease of worms for many years past, and has
 happily been  successful in the discovery of a  certain  remedy which
 has given ample testimony of its  extraordinary virtues as a Vermifuge.
 Dr. C. is inclined to believe, that no  doctor  has ever discovered  this
 valuable medicine before, and is different from all other remedies offered
 to the public.  Without any further ceremonies,  Dr. Chabert invites
 those who are afflicted  with worms, to  call at  his office, 364 Broad-
 way,  and inspect the numerous and various kind of worms which have
been expelled solely  by his Specific.

   He has received a number  of certificates  from persons who  have
 been cured by him of worms, more particularly the tape  worm, and re-
 frains from publishing them, but refers  persons who may be troubled
 with them, to call and see his museum of them, which have  been pre-
sented to him by persons who gave him the certificates.

  Said Specific is sold in Bottles at $1 each, with full directions.    To
 be had only (a perfect cure warranted,) at 364 Broadway.

     STRICTURE of the  URETHRA.

  Inconsequence of inflammation, certain parts of the urethra are apt to
become contracted, and to occasion strictures, which  cause'the urine?
instead of flowing in a free and direct  stream, to split in two, or to be
voided drop by drop.  So constant is inflammation the  forerunner of
stricture, that it may  be held  as a point well established by evidence,
that the origin of all strictures in the urethra is in consequence of inflam-.
mation, as that adhesions of the pleura  are produced by it.  Stricture
in the urethra is  most commonly  produced by gonorrhoea, or by the
means used to remove that disorder.

                       CERTIFICATES,

  This is to certify, that I was afflicted with a stricture, which produced
retention of urine;  I  applied to Dr. Chabert  for surgical  assistance,
and am. happy to say, I am now cured.     JAMES LAWLESS,
                                124  Nassau-st. N. York, June, 1834.

  This is to certify, I was  for four months laid up with a disease, which
would  probably have  ended my life, had I continued  under the  care
of the first  physician I applied to.   I  was  advised to apply to  Dr,
Chabert, who  has  in two months  restored me to a state of health  be^
y©nd my expectation.                           JOHN SCOTT-

          MERCURIAL  DISEASE.

  The mercurial disease will be found to attack the bones, the  perios-
teum the tendons, the  tendinous fascia, and in joints,  the cartilages
and the ligaments, by the extension of the specific diseased action, and
not  merely by the spreading of a mercurial ulcer in the neighbourhood ;
for  indeed it very seldom  happens  that the mercurial disease discovers
itself in them in a state of ulceration.
  The appearance  of the mercurial disease so much resembles the ve-
nerial disease, that we must always take into consideration the quantity,
and the effects of the mercury which  was  previously given,  to  enable
us to form a right judgment of these cases.   The symptoms however,
are not so absolutely  alike  in both diseases that there are no shades of
difference.   The mercurial disease in  the bones mostly extends no fur-
ther than in  producing a pain in them.   This occurs many times strict-
ly in those parts  which are commonly affected by the Veneiial Virus ;
and these pains will come on principally  at night; but in many cases the
disease will extend  to the  joints of both extremities, and even to the
smaller joints.   The bones of the head are  often the seat of the mercu-
rial irritation,  and the patient is subject to violent  headaches.   These
pains are in many cases as  troublesome during the day as in the night,
but they shift very  frequently from one  part to another,  disappear  for a
short tune, and then  return a«-ain. 
29
  Mercury  appears to destroy the energy of th.3 nervous system, pro-
ducing weakness, tiemors, palsy, epilepsy and mania.   The patient be-
comes hectical, has a small quick pulse,  and there is often a tendency
to acblliquation on the skin and bowels,  and a  wasting atrophy of the
flesh ;  he complains of general irritability,  with heachu;h,  and  flying
pains in the bones, especially on the approach of bad weather,  of rain,
of frost,  or north-easterly winds.
  He has a great number of certificates from persons  who have been
cured of the mercurial disease by him.  The following one, he  thinks,
is sufficient to publish ;  he others can, if wished, be seen, by calling at
his office.
  Sir,-—Allow me to return you my most sincere and lasting thanks for
the benefit you have done me.   As one means  of repaying the obliga-
tion I feel  myself under to you, I give you  leave to make the following
statement public, (with the exception of my name  and  address, which
you may give to any one who may call  for  it.)  I had suffered a long
time from  the effects  of a disorder which I had contracted during my
wild days.   The physician I applied to, put me under a course of mer-
cury, which he pushed to such an extent, that nearly all my teeth drop-
ped out—my palate  became ulcerated, so as materially to affect my
speech; several  small ulcers formed on my head, and was a  martyn to
 the most excruciating pain in my head,  as  well as all my limbs.   I was
 in this state when I applied to you, and  you  have  (by the blessing of
 God) relieved me of  my suffering;-, and cured my disorder in the space
 of two months:  that you  may live  long, and  reap the benefit of your
 great  talent,  is the constant prayer  of  your obliged and obedient ser-
  vant.

    As this disease is  generally produced by the too free  use  of mer-
  cury in venereal disease,  Dr. Chabert takes this opportunity of sta-
  ting to the public, that he has,  by  his knowledge of  chemistry, prepared
  an article which will completely destroy the effects of mercury taken  in
  (he system.
                        ULCER.

  Ulcers usually proceed from some external injury, such as a wound
or bruise,  being  afterwards  kept  open  by neglect, or an  improper
mode of treatment;  or  they  arise  in  consequence of  inflammation,
syphilis, scurvy, or some other disease.
  When an  ulcer is of  long standing,  and has become habitual, or
seems to serve as a drain in carrying off some peccant humour from the
body, it should by no means be healed up without  substituting an  arti-
ficial discharge, as many have fallen martyrs to imprudence of this na-
ture, but more particularly those who have been somewhat advanced in
life.   When an ulcer is of recent nature, it ought to  be healed up as ex-
peditiously as possible. 
30
                       CERTIFICATES.

  This  is to  certify, that I had an  ulcer  in my  leg, occasioned by a
wound I received.   I applied a great many different  things to  heal it,
but  all to no purpose:  I'also  had advice from doctors,  but they could
not  help me.  I called on Dr. Chabert, and he has made a perfect cure
of me, for which I return my thanks.

  I was for a long time troubled with an ulcer  in  my  eye, caused by
inflammation ; 1 had taken different kinds of medicine  for it, but all to
no purpose, I  was advised to let Dr. Chabert see it, I did  so ; he
promised to  cure  me, which  he  has done  entirely in  less  than  two
weeks, for which I shall be ever grateful.             J-----A-----.


  About six months  ago I  had an ulcer on my thigh,  which  was so

          PARALYSIS,  OR PALS1T.


   Palsy is a diminution, or total loss  of the powers of motion  and sen-
sibility in certain parts of the body, often  attended with drowsiness.  In
some instances the disease is confined  to a particular part or set of mus-
cles ; but it more usually happens that one entire side of the body from
the head downwards, is affected.
   Palsy may arise in consequence of  an attack of apoplexy, and like it,
may  be occasioned by any thing that prevents the flow  of the nervous
power  from the brain into the organs  of  motion ; hence tumours, over
distension, and effusion, distortions  of the spine,  and  a thickening of
the ligaments that connect the vertebra? together, often give rise to it.—
It may also be occasioned by translations of morbid matter to the head,
by the  suppression of usual evacuations,  and by pressure made on  the
nerves by  luxations, fractures, wounds, or other external injuries.   The
long-continued application  of sedatives  will likewise produce  palsy ;
those whose occupations subject them to  the constant  handling of white
lead, such as painters and glaziers, and those who are much exposed to
the poisonous fumes  of metals,  or  minerals,  are  apt  to  be  attacked
with  it.  Whatever tends to relax  and enervate the system, may like-
wise prove an occasional cause of this disease ; hence those who  lead
a sedentary or luxurious life ; those who are guilty of frequent irregulari-
ties or great debaucheries ;  those who are engaged in intense studies
during the night, or labour under great distress of mind,  or anxiety,  are
very subject to this malady.

                        CERTIFICATES.

  This is to certify, that I have been afflicted for the last eight years, from
an attack of the palsy.  My limbs were insensible to the touch, and were
useless.  I had been under the treatment of a number of physicians,  but
without receiving any benefit ;  in fact, they told  me my case was a hope-
less one, and out of the power of man to help me.  My friends advised
me to give  Dr. Chabert a trial, as he had performed  some wonderful
cures on persons who had been pronounced incurable by other physi-
cians,  I consented to give him a trial, as I knew he could not harm me,
and after undergoing a treatment peculiar to himself,  he so far restored
me that I have now the use of my  limbs, and am able to attend  to  my
duties.  I  give this certificate to the doctor, that it may be published for
the benefit  of others who may be labouring under the like malady.
  New-York, Dec.  5th, 1837.                        D. I.  HOBBS.


   I was for along-time afflicted with the palsy ;  I had but little  use of
my limbs ;  my face was all drawn one side, and  a  numbness over all
my body;  I had taken a good deal of  medicine, but  which produced
no  effect.  T at last called upon Dr. Chabert, and after going through  a
course of medicine which  he  gave me,  in  a  short time I was com-
pletely cured.

                      CHOLERA.


  The opportunity Dr. Chabert had, by several years residence in Asia,
of becoming acquainted with this dreadful disease before it made its ap-
pearance in Europe or this country, induces him, from  a thorough
knowledge of the disease, (having  cured thousands, both in this  and
the old countries,) of informing the public that he has a certain  speci-
fic for it, which is not in  the possession of other physicians.
   The cholera, as it  raged in the  city of New-York in 1832,  was
known by the following symptoms, viz: first,  costiveness, which lasts
from two to  three days, during which time there is  obtuse  pain  in the
stomach, and tightness across the chest, slight headach,  with fulness of
the eves.  If the first stage is  not relieved,  purging commences, with
nausea, then vomiting.  Now this fulness of the  eye gives  place to a
sunken eye  with enlarged pupil, constituting the second stage.   At this
time the pulse becomes weak, the extremities cold,  with spasms of the
muscles.  The pulse at the wrist  ceases ; the breathing is more diffi-
cult, which in some cases is soon followed by delirium and convulsions,
but in the majority, the animal heat retiring, vitality passes  away  gradu-
ally, and the scene quickly ends in death.

               From the Courier and Enquirer of July 27lh.

      Dear Sir,—I have taken the liberty of giving to a Doctor of Medi-
    cine, part of  your medicine: but I  hope you  will  excuse it, knowing.
    the admirable effect produced  by it.   I was called to fulfil my duty as
    a clergyman to 34 Augustus-street, where I found Mr. James Gallagher
    in the greatest pains and cramps, and  three or four men  employed in
    rubbing him with hot water, under the  direction of Dr. Hogan.   Itold
    the doctor that I had a little of your specific in my house,  and proposed
    to him to administer it. to  the sick.  He consented to  it,  and I sent for
    the medicine.  The doctor himself gave  it to  the  patient, and in less
    than a quarter of an hour Mr. James  Callagher was  easy in his bed,
    and out of danger.  When I approached  him to excite  him  to give
    thanks to God for his recovery, he told me the last drink stopped the
    cramps, and that was j^our antidote.   You may suppose the blessings
    you have received from a  family about,  to become desolate—from a fa-
    mily who expected-to lose at the next moment their only  support.  As-
    to Dr. Hogan, as much praise is due  to him for his  talents, activity,
    and condescension, as to any I  know, and as such I must consider him
    a real charitable and learned man, who puts all prejudices aside when
    charity requires it.   I cannot finish  this letter without thanking you for
    your exertions, and  praising God for your success in curing my  friend,
    the Rev. Timothy McGuire, of East Broadway,  Pastor of St. Mary's
    Church.  I went to see him, and I was extremely pleased to hear from
    him that you  were the instrument employed by God to preserve him for
    his congregation, as he had indeed a  very severe attack.  I hope you
    will not be offended with me for employing for the benefit of others, the
    little  bottle that you sent me, for my own  use as a preventive  ; but dear
i    sir, I beg you to send me a little more if you can spare  it.  Respect-
1    fully your most obedient,                   FELIX  VARELA,

  The following are among a multitude of certificates rendered to M.
Chabert, from his grateful patients.   The reader in perusing the certifi-
cates, will see the intrinsic character of Cholera; they speak the feel-
ings of  the heart;  and as a man who had broken  his arm would
testify his complete recovery by demonstrating his power to  use it,  so
by the manner of these certificates, Cholera is proven to be a disease
of the nervous system,  depending  principally upon  fear  as  its ex-
citing cause:—

  I most earnestly take this opportunity to offer my thanks to Dr. Cha-
bert for the cure he has effected upon myself and wife, having Cholera,
&c. I have lost with this disease, within nine days, five of my children,
and child-in-law—tw6 in Reade, and three where I live, Madison, cor-
ner of Montgomery.  Had Divine Providence permitted that Dr. Cha-
bert's advice had been followed, my children, who are now dead, would
have been alive.   As he yet preserved their aged parents through scenes
faintly shown, I recommend Dr. Chabert to the Public.

   Dear Sir—I have been surrounded by death in my family and neigh-
bourhood, and render heartfelt thanks for  the escape of myself,  wife,
and remaining five children,  through the  means  used by  you.  Re-
spectfully yours,                   R. NESSEL, 208Mott-street.

   I, Edward Merry, residing at No.  19 1-2 Cross-street, feel myself in
duty bound  to bear my  testimony  to the  exemplary philanthropy and
skill of Dr. Chabert, in restoring me from a state  of apparent death.
I was attacked with the cholera, and the disease had  proceeded to that
state denominated asphyxia, when  the  Rev. Felix Varela,  seeing my
hopeless condition,  recommended that Dr. Chabert should be  sent for
to see me.   He immediately came, and by the administration of his re-
medies, through God, was the means of restoring me in a great degree;
when numerous  persons, physicians and others, and some one actuated
by jealousy of his success, (for I can attribute it to nothing else,) admi-
nistered to me some noxious drug, which threw me again into a state of
utter hopelessness.   Dr. Chabert was again called, and some antidote
destroyed the effect  of it, and thus again raised me a new man. Twice
has my wife been saved by him ; first from the disease, secondly, from
the poison given me.  I am now at my work again in Mr. McQueen's
foundry, enjoying good health.

lations, there were  nearly  300 souls depending on our employment—
our situation  was truly painful.  In this state of suspense, two of the
hands died with the cholera, and  several  laboured under premonitory
symptoms.
   Just in this state of things, which is nearly four weeks ago, we made
up our minds to call on you, and after stating our case, you at once re-
quested us not to leave our  work, and that if we followed your direc-
tions, not one of us would suffer an attack, and  gave us medicine ac-
cordingly.  Before taking your antidote several of the  men were at-
tacked with the cholera, more or less severe ;  but which were promptly
relieved by your directions,  and have worked ever since,  and since that
time not a single one of us has suffered an attack ; and although some
left the shop for different parts of the country on business connected with
their occupation, and others for want of employment, not one has been
sick.  Under these circumstances, we cannot refrain  from expressing
our conviction that we owe our present  state of perfect  health to hav-
ing adopted your method  of preventing the Cholera.

 Vegetable anti-bilious, or Family Fills.

  For removing and  preventing  bilious complaints,  indigestion, and
other diseases of the stomach, bowels, flatulence,  headach, liver  com-
plaint, &c.
  These pills are composed on the indisputable principles of the late
Dr. Fordyce, relative to medicines of this class.   They are totally free
from any admixture of mercury or other mineral substance  ; and  while
they will be found to combine all the advantage of a general and popu-
lar medicine for the disorders  to  which they are applicable,  may be
preserved for any length of time without losing their effect.  They  are
particularly recommended to families travelling,  as they are  uninjured
by long, keeping, or any change of climate.   The general dose  for a
grown person is two pills to be taken at bed  time, for two  or  three
nights successively, (or every other  night, if they operate too power-
fully,) then rest a few days, and repeat, as occasion  may  require.  As
a dinner pill, for which they stand unrivalled, one pill  should be  taken
one hour before dinner.  Price 50 cents a box.
            Vegetable Female Pills.

  These pills have been found to be the most  useful  medicine against
those general complaints the female ssx are  subject to.  They cleanse
and purify the  blood ;  they are  highly recommended to young women
who are afflicted with chlorosis or green sickness.  These pills should
not be taken by pregnant women.   Females under fifteen years of age
must take  two of these  pills on going to bed, and  above that age, three
or four must be  taken.   They purge  very mildly, and can  be  taken
without danger  of taking cold ; one or two boxes seldom fail of a cure.
Price 50 cents a box.

Chinese Lotion for  removing  Freckles.

    Anti-Consumption  Specific Syrup.

  The only medicine discovered,  approved  of and recommended  by
the most eminent physicians in France and the United States,  for the
cure and prevention of those dreadful internal diseases where the lungs
and chest are supposed to be affected.
   This syrup has acquired a very  extended and well  established cele-
brity, both in hospitals and private practice ;  not only in those cases
where a predisposition to pulmonary complaints exist, but also in cases
of cold, cough, asthma,  spitting of blood, whooping cough,  chronic
and nervous affections, accruing from debility and cachectic constitutions.
It relieves the disease, soon obtains an effectual cure, and at the same
time imparts strength to the whole system.
   This syrup is taken in doses of half a  wine glass full three times a
day, in connexion with  one tea-cup full of tea of white marsh mallow
 flowers.—Price $1 50 per bottle.
   The ingredients for the tea are put up in bundles, which must be di-
vided into four parts, each part must have  one pint of boiling water
poured on it, strained and sweetened  with the  above syrup.   When
the tea i3 all taken, the syrup may  be taken alone.—Price for each bun-
 dle 50 cents.

                 Elixir of Long Life.

   This is an excellent stomachic, acting as a gentle cathartic, and restorer
 of the digestive powers  ; it is also extremely useful in case of  chronic
 and nervous affections, occurring from debilitated and cachectic consti-
 tutions, and the impure state of the blood.   It releases the disease, and
 at the same time imparts vigour and  strength to the whole system.—
 Dose, half a wine glass  full,  morning and night.—Price $1  00  per
 bottle.                      -------

  Ointment for  Diseases of the Eyelids.

  With directions.—Price $1 00 per pot.

  Dr. Chabert begs leave to  announce to  his friends and the public,
that he prepares a powder composed entirely of vegetables, which he
confidently recommends as a medicine that fwill supersede the use of
mercury—operating on the system mildly, and with equal effect.   This
medicine is harmless, and may be taken any time without the least dan-
ger from catching cold, and as it  is free from the destructive qualities of
minerals.   It will impart vigour  to the system, and give a freshness and
energy to the whole frame. For persons of a bilious habit, or those troub-
led with headach, dizziness, &c. it is a most invaluable medicine, as it will
rid the stomach of gall and bile, which is often the sole cause of these dis-
tressing maladies.  It  is a certain cure for  liver complaint,  if taken
agreeable to directions : and for all scorbutic eruptions and gross hu-
mours of the body, it is most effectual,  as it will purify the blood, and
gradually remove them from the system.  It is also an excellent  spring
and fall restorative, for which it is particularly recommended, as  it wilL
thoroughly cleanse the body from all impurities, and renovate the phy-
sical powers, while at  the same time it will be found an  agreeable be-
verage.  It may be given to children of the most tender age,  with perfect
safety and equal success.   One powder to be  taken every night, by per-
sons of from 15 to 50 years of age.  Children 10 years old, half a pow-
der—5 years old, quarter of a powder.  Put the powder in a clean vessel,,
add to it two table spoonfuls of sugar,  then pour in about  half a pint of
boiling water,  stir it well, then cover tight, and let it  stand until cool,
and drink the whole.  The mixture for children should be  in proportion
to that of adults.   Sold in papers, with proper  directions,  at 25  cents,
each.
           Preparation for Worms.

  Dr Chabert has been enabled to  procure  from Europe,  at a very
great expenditure,  the ingredients  for  compounding  this celebrated
elixir, which has never been known to fail.  This compound being un-
known  to all other medical men, he is happy in  being  able  to  afford
it at a small charge.  A child  of three years  of age must take half a
tea-spoonful, one of five, one tea-spoonful, grown persons a table spoon-
ful.—Price $ I 00 per bottle.                                 r
