ANTI-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
IT HIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
long known, and used with such unparraUeled
success ratL Canadas for the last 30 years, ap
pears to need no panegyric. Its operation upon toe
human system is such that it invariably acts like
a charm, for the relief and radical cure of a certain
common and disagreeable “ills the flesh is heir to.
This prize obtains its own name from the certain
success which has attended it through its
trying circumstances, namely, “five days, e
same success whit h followed it in a Northern la i
tude still obtains in a more Southern. The formula
or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue
and hazard by M Cheveres, from the celebrated
Indian Chief Warekothe, or Great Moon, whilst
he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
siness in the North-west with the Indians.—
Wabenoshe prized highly and use it with invariable
success throughout his two tribes. Its known and
valued virtues hare already enriched to an almost
incredible extent the children of this warlike prince,
not only by actm.l sale of the article itself to in
dividuals, but by parting with copies of his receipt
at enormous prices to the Chief of every tribe of
Indians in America, with a solemn promise to the
Great Spirit, never to divulge the “art of its com
position until he s eeps with his fathers,” although
free to use it ir their respective tribes, which
places it in the bunds of every Indian who rely
with, I may say, religious confidence on its cura
ble powers.
Below is a copy of the translation as near as it can
be anglisized of the deed given by W abenoshe, to
M. Cheveret,when he purchased the original recipe,
and had twice ass isted the Chief himself through
the tedious manipulatory process of manufacture.
Few white men would credit the length of time
which is consumed in preparing the article for im
mediate use.
TRANSLATION.
“I, Wabenoshe, Chief of the nations Ottowa and
Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which 1
have for my white friend M. Cheveret, [ for he has
done many good things for me and my people,) I
give to him my greatest cure for the bad sickness
which my children have had sent among them as
a punishment by the Great Spirit, and hope that in
his hands it may do much good, and make him very
rich.”

is to subdue every vestige of inflamation, and then
acts mildly and copiously as a diuretic ; thereby
holding within itself, every requisite virtue, for
the subduction ol this loathsome malady —and ev
ery regular graduate in medicine, will sustain the
assertion, that copious diuresis and reduction of in
flation, are the only two things necessary to effect
a sound and radicalcure.
The most peculiar virtue of the “Cinq Jours,”
is in this, that wherever it alone has been used to
affect a cure, none of those tenacious and disagree -
able consequences which almost invariably results
from the sudden cure of Gonorrhoea, have been
known to obtain such as stricture, hernia, humor
alis, incontinence, and a swarm of other of the
most loathsome, ]D€rplexing, and disagreeable dis
eases, consequent upon erroneous diagnosis and
treatment of Gonorrhoea.

TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF
FAMILIES.
DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO—a substitute for Calon\pl, and
does not belong to the family of quack medicines;
for the reason that the component parts are made
known to the faculty, or any one else that may
wish to know, bv any of the agents keeping them
for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx
iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to
be made from the stalk, a thing not more ansuiu
than for one to offer meal from the corn stalk, to
say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the
Tomato Pills (proper) for. the great benefits of
which, he holds himself bound, and in honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they are all that they
profess to be, and will do for otheis what they
have done for such as mav have used them; as
this is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will
doubtless be valuable information to families to
know that the Y'ellow are just doubly as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much
of the hapatine, or active principle, and when used
as a daily vegetable will be found to keep the
system in much better condition than the other
kind ; many wi] 1 recollect with what trembling
anxiety calomel has been given to children, and
how they then wished for a substitute. It has
long teen know a that the Tomato contained ca
thartic principlts, but not until of late was it
ascertained that they contained alterative and diu
retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use
the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that
they know what it is Were it a patent mystery,
they would be bcund to reject the medicine, as they
justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of the
day. If you wish to cleanse the system with a
mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato
Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon be in
this city. We ail know something about this.

Radical Care of Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
TH E subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson &Co., for the
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means of these
ustly celebrated instruments. He has now used
them for nearly a year, and, did not delicacy forbid,
he could name several persons who have been radi
cally cured, of this truly distressing and dangerous
affection, by the useof these Trusses,besides many
others who are itj a fairway of being entirely re
lieved. The following is the language of the com
mittee ot the Ph ladelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia.
“ The instruments of Dr. Chase have effected
the permanent aid accurate retention of the in
testines in every case of Hernia observed by the
committee, without material inconvenience to the
patient, and often under trials more severe than
are usually ventured upon by those who wearother
trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any
other apparatus k nown to the committee.”
“ The committee are induced by the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in strong terms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the confidence of
the profession, as the best known means of me
chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the
highest chances cf radical cure.”
The following is from the Southern Medical and
Southern Journal, published in our own city.
“ All must admit of the ra lical cure of hernia
and that Dr. Chas e’s Trusses are decidedly the best
yet invented to effect the object ”
Persons from a distance can have the instruments
applied, upon application at the office, and all ne
cessary information given to enable them to adjusl
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate,from someresponsi
ble person,of their pecuniar}* disability. "
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture.

DR. E. SPOHN, a German physician of much
note, having devoted his attention for some
years to the cure and removal of the causes of NER
• VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis
‘ faction to make known, that he has a remedy which
* by removing the causes cures effectually and perma
-1 nently this distressing complaint. There are many
families who have considered Sick Headache a con
r stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as
• sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring
* under distress which they might not only alleviate,
• but actually eradicated by the use if his remedy,
t It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely
of a different character from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter ofmuch astonishment,
’ That so much suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or
| cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. The
principles on which it acts are simple and plain. It is
' an ai mined fact that this complaint, whet her called
! Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach—those who think they have
1 the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that the sys
■ tern has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the
■ stomach, and that only through the same channel
; must they expects restoration of jhe natural and
healthy functions of the system. This object. Dr.
, Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain.
The truth of this position cannot be controverted,
and the sooner sufferers with the headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his
professionai reputation on this fact. The remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.

NOSTRMUS of the age—for the cure of

The French Pills are applicable in all cases, ioi
either sex, (warranted free from Mercury,; and pos
sesses great advantages over the Balsams and all
liquid medicines, by being entirely free from smell,
and consequently do not effect the breath, thereby
preventing the possibility of discovery while using
them.
Besides this important advantage, they never
disagree with the stomach, and in the first stages of !
the disease they usually effect a cure in a few days,
with little regard to aiet or exposure.
In the most obstinate stages of the disease, they >
are equally certain, having cured many after every !
other rem jdy hsc 1 failed. In short they have been
so universally successful that the proprietor chal- 1
lenges any one to produce a remedy of equal cer

hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of
experiment, and now stand before the public as
high in reputation, and as extensively employed in
all parts of the United States, the Canadas, lexao
Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine that
has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering
man. They have been introduced wherever it was
found possible to carry them ; and there are but
few towns that do not contain some remarka e
evidences of their go<»d effects. The certificates
that have been presented to the propuetor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of five hundred ol
which are from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent judges of their merits.

been the subject of editorial comment, in varum
newspapers and journals • and it may with truth e

The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No
Ca.,March 3d, 1838:
Dr. Peters—Dear Sir, —By requestof your agent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of your pißs; and I would
add, that you may make use ol them, in connection
with my name, in any manner you deem proper, I
speak of their merits from experience, as I and ray
family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
years ; and so great are the benefits we have receiv
ed from them in general, that I would rather pur
chase them at ten dollars abox than have my house
without them. I will not enumerate the afflictions
they have relieved us of; but I can assure you they
were many, and of very opposite natures, which
has fully proved to me that your medicine is a sim
ple purifier of the system, and therefore equally
the enemy of every disease. I will mention one
case. I have a sister who had been for a long pe
riod severely afflicted with dropsy in the chest and
was brought by it to the very verge of the grave.
She was attended by the most eminent physicians
that money could procure; but all their efforts to
restore her to health, or even to mitigate her suffer
ings were fruitless ; and accordingly,we all consid
ered her immediate death as inevitable. By good
fortune, however, as she was in this situation, ex
pecting every day to be her last, your pills were
introduced into my family, and so speedy and pal
pable were their effects that three doses visibly re
lieved her, and in less than three months she was
perfectly restored to health. This case, I and all
who were witness of it, (but more especially the
suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to
miraculous; and yet 1 could mention many more
of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills
were equally successful in rescuing the patients
from the jaws of death. Need I add that the popu
larity of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in
this section of the country r But this I presume
you know from the immense quantity you dispose
of. I may mention, however, that notwithstanding
its general use, I never heard an individual complain
of its effects. My residence is 12 miles from Ral
eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen
timents of regard, your ob’t servant.
A. G. BANKS.
To Dr. Peters, —Sir—For upward s of fifteen
months, I have been cruelly afflicted with Fever
and A^ue; and during the time could find nothing —
though I had applied to every thing that gave me
any thing like permanent relief. At length, how
ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
of ouf best physicians, and I am most grateful and
happy in being able to add. that I had scarcely used
two boxes when I found that they had restored me
to perfect health. Since then, various members of

Communication received from the eminent Dr. J.
H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia;
Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear Sir—On the night of
the 11th inst., I was called in great haste to the
house of a fellow ciiizen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found
his son laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cynanche Tracnealis (Croup) and apparently' be
yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
tune, however, I had in my pocket a broken box of
your pills—four of which I administered, with
such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes
my patient was at ease, and out of danger. This
case, in connection with my name is at your ser-
I vice—and I have the pleasure to be able to inform
you that your inestimable medicine is in such great
favor with the faculty here, that I bebeve there is
, not one of them who does not use it in his private
practice. Yours most resp’y.

j Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo-
I gart, of Providence, R. 1., Dec. 17, 1838. —Peters’
j pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi
j cine, those effects being produced by the differences
t of the quantity taken, and are decidedly superior
: to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.
Extract from a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor,
Me ~ Jan. 9, 1839. They are a peculiarly mild, yet
efficient purgative medicine, and produce little, if
any, griping or nausea. I have prescribed them
with much success iasick headache and slight bil
lious fever.
Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams of
Burlington, Vt., July 9, 1837.—1 cordially recom
mend Peters’ Pills as a mildly effective, and in no
case dangerous, family medicine. They are pecu
liarly influential in costiveness and all the usual
j diseases of the digestive organs.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Edw Smith of Mon
i treal, U. C., Sept. 27,1836. —I never knev a single
patent medicine that I could put the least confi
dence in but Dr. Peters’ Vegetable Pills, which are
really a valuable discovery. I have no hesitation
in having it known that I use them extensively in
my practice,for all complaints, (and they are not a
few) which have their source in the impurity of the
blood.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Dye of Quebec I
C., March 6, 1837.—F0r bilious fevers, sick head
ache, torpidity of the bowels, and enlargement of
the spleen. Dr. Peters’ Pills are an excellent medi
cine.
Extract of a letter from Dr Gurney of New Or
leans, La,, Oct. 9, 1837.—1 have received much as
sistance in my practice—especially in jaundice and
yellow fever, from the use of Peters’ Pills I pre
sume that, on an average, 1 prescribe 100 boxes in
a month
Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson
N. Y., June 3, 1836.—1 was aware that Dr. Peters
was one of the best chemists in the United States
and felt assured that he would some day (from his
intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs
and drugs ) produce an efficient medicine, and I must
acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully responu
to my expectations. They are indeed a superior
medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist
the Physician, and the Philosopher. ’
Extract of a letter from Dr. Waines of Cincin
nati, Feb. 2,1838. Your Pills are the mildest “n
their operations, and j r et most powerful in their ef
fects, of any that I have ever met with in a practice
of eight and twenty years. Th*ir action on the
chyle, and hence on the impurities of the blood is
evidently very surprising. ’
Extract of a letter from Dr. Scott of Baltimore
Dec. 17,1836.—1 am in the daily habit of prescri
bing them, (Peters’Pills) and they in nearly all
cases answered my purpose. I have discarded other
I medicines, some of them very good ones, in their
favor.
Charlotte, N.C., Jan. 1, 1837.
Dear Sir—l have made frequent use of your Pills
in the incipient stage of bilious fever, and obsti

IhaSson’s SPECIFIC I
pMiTMENT I
THE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo
sition, especially in,the Northern States, leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its
favor: for it has been generally conceded to it, that
it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed thejspeed and certainty of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wouuds,
corns, fever sores.chilblains, white swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, &c. &c-, immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, it prop
erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or
break and heal a bile in live days, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer m two and the most
desperate casesot white swelling that can be ima
gined, have been destroyed by it in Jess than two
months. In the bites of poisonous reptiles its effi
cacy is truly surprising, and if applied in time, its
powers of attraction are so wonderful that they will
at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from
pervading ;he system. It is likewise greatly supe
rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the
chafed back and limbs of horses —lor tetters, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter
nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or
beast.
The proprietor has received nt least a thousand
certificates, and other documents, in favor of his
“ Specific Ointm nt,” upwards of a hundred of
which were written by respectable members of the
Medical Faculty.
Albany, inly 9th, 1837.
To Dr. Harrison.
Sir—l useyour Specific Ointment mmy practice,
and cordially recommend it as a raos, efficient reme
dy for Tumors, Ulcers. White Swellings, Scrcfma,
Rheumatic Pains, Chapped Face, Lips and Hands:
and for general external complaints. I write this
at the request of your agent here, who furnishes me
with the article, and am pleased to have it in nay
power to award honor to merit.
RUFUS R. BEACH, M. D.
Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 29, 1838.
Dear Sir—My daughter, a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn the comp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and I feared, independent of
ever} other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, I applied your ointment to the
afflicted part; and I thank God that my child is
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is
getting her hair as fast as can be expected. The
cure was effected in rather less than two months;
during which time I used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment ; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
duiing the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.
MARY HOWARD.
I hereby substantiate the truth ol the above
statement.
CHRISTOPHER HOWARD.
1 know the above statement to be coirect, and I
can add from experience that “ Harrison’s Specific
Ointment,” is an excellent medicine for external

Boston, Jan. 7, 1837.
Dear Sir—l have to request of you to forward
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most
immediate conveyance, and without regard to the
expense of carriage, as lam quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add,
that further experience has increased ray enthusi
asm and established me in the opinion, that it is su -
perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.
Respectfully yours,
CHARLES P. EMERSON, M. D.
New Orleans, Match 20th, 1838.
Dr. Harrison.
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as I have used none other
in ray rather extensive practice tor several yearn, and
if you think it would be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures which it has effected under my own imme
diate inspection: the last being one of a severe
and apparently perpetual ulcer, in the back of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di
vision street, which it completely healed in twenty
onedays. My present chief object in writing to
you, is to learn who is your authorised agent in this
city, for, being in want of a supply of your oint
ment, and the person Mr. Boyle, from whom lused
to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi
ness,! am fearful if I purchase at random, that I
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.
Your obedient servant,
EDWARD RAMSEY, M, D.
Cincinnati, August 9,1837.
Dr. Harrison.
Sir,— l have no hesitation in stating, in reply to
your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority of the ends for which vou re
commend it. I qualify my certificate by the word
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters where I have had no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
lows, piles, &c.,it is ray universal recipe. I have
also used it on the leg of a boy which had been
bitten by an adder, and the extraction of the poison,
and ultimate cure was so rapid, that my patient was
as well as ever in a week ; and has remained so to
this day.
Yours respectfully,
HENRY JACOBS, M. D.

L£ CORDIAL DE DUGIN E. t
OH L’ELIXIR DE L’AMOUR.
THE subscriber has the pleasure o‘ announcm |
to the citizens of thcU. States, that j’ |
purchased, for a very large sum and from i ue [1 *
ventor,i he celebrated Dr. Magnin, of Baris [ ' |
recipe ar d right for making ibis astonishing mr-ilf. -d
cine. Until the appearance of the * Ludna Cor. I
dial,” (about three years since,) it was thought that I
the complaints,which it speedily o\f rcomes,w ere B
beyond the reach ot human remedy, as for upH- ar( j s B
of a thousand years, they had bafnpd the wisdom |
and ingenuity of the most profound physicians i r , I
all parts of the world. This Cordial, however, to B
the great advantage of the human race,soon proved
itself to be the desideratum so long sought for; and
accordingly, notwithstanding the brief perLd ofi ta
existence, it has required a celebrity so great, that
it is eagerly inquired for throughout the
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the dt-ruand
was so vast as to render a supply impossible, dis.
posed of the recipe and right ol sale, under oblige
tions of secrecy, far England, the foiled States
and other countries, only preserving f ranee and
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber po s .
sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and now
hastens to give the inhabitants of his line c ( ageif^y
the benefits of his speculation.
“Le Cordial De Lucine, or, in English, “the I
Lucira Cordial,” is a general in vigorator of the
human frame! In all the various cases of languor,
lassitude, and debilitation; it is an unfailing reme.
dy ; as it i* equally its province to impart cheerful,
ness and decision to ibe mind, as health and vig or
to the body. But the peculiar virtue on which u 8 i
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with r
which it restores the virile powers when they hava ■
bet-n destroved by disease,lime,recklessness,orany .
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generally of really good
medicines, this Cordial contains nothing of a raer
curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre
dients which compose it ; but is, at the same time,
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can reno
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an infant
may use it,not only with impunity, but with ad
vantage. 1
The usages of society are unfortunately such,
that, notwithstanding the benefits which would be
sure to result from it, weeannotenter into an analy.
sis of this inestimable Cordial here, or publish many
of the documents which have been received, as
vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num
b«rs of despairing individuals. But this wc cannot
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
the procreant functions, in either sex; and therefore,
that those evils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued and removed by the i
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” 1
The Lucina Cordial is also an indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus, obstructed, diffi.
cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incoa
tinence ct Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
ol. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of theskin,
and in the dropsical affections of the aged.
Most important to the American Public. \
The United States proprietor of the celebrated
“ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the following certificate,
which he has received from the inventor, the illus
trious Dr. Magnin. of Paris .*
“ This is to certify, that I have disposed of the
recipe for making the “Lucina Cordial,” or
“ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it
throughout the I rated Slates of North America,
to John Winters Holderwell,M. D. My reasons
for so doing is, that the demands to me for the above
Cordial, of which lam the inventor, are so nume
rous, that I am unable to supply all the orders from
France and Italy alone; and have therefore dispo
sed of the privileges vouchsafed in this, and other
certificates of a like nature in order to generalise
the benefits of my discovery throughout the world.
Given under ray hand at Paris,on this nineteenth
day of January, in the year of our Lord,
eighteen hundred and thirty eight.

Postscript to the above.
As you requested me to state the number of hot
lies ot the “ Lucina Cordial,” which I have already
sold, I have referred to my books, and find it to ex
ceed four bundled thousand ; while the orders now
on hand cannot be supplied in less than three
months.
From an immense number of testimonials from
the regular faculty, touching the virtues of the
Cordial, i have in particular selected the following,
which may be of use to you. You will also find a
number of others of less importance inclosed. This
immediate cert.ficate is from a body of eight of the
ablest medical practitioners in France.
To Dr. Magnin, inventor of the Lucina Cordial, or
Elixir of Love
Respected and Honored Sir .*■—We have all in a
variety of cases, tested the remarkable effects ol
your great discovery, and have assembled lor the
purpose of bearing evidence to the facts, and tend
ering you the honor which is your due. The
“Lucina Cordial” is in our opinion, an infallible
remedy for the prostration of the Procreant r unc
tions, and Artificial Barrenness : and therefor must
prove a blessing to the human race. We ca. also
bear evidence that there is nothing in it of a mer
curial or deleterious nature ; and in short, the it is
one of the noblest medicinal discoveries of any age.

lam now on the wrong side of eighty,and yet I
could be on my honor or oath if necessary, that a
bottle or two of your Cordial of Love has made me
feel as vigorous as a boy of five and twenty. I
think you have discoveied the “ Elixir of Life,”
which the alchymists have been so long in quest of;
and that (pardon my officiousness,) you should have
named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels.
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin: My dear friend—l am most
gratified at the unprecedented popularity of your
“Lucina Cordial,” and am able to bear testimony to
its surprising virtue. I had a patient recently,
1 M 1 a gentleman ot fortune, who had for
several years abandoned himself in the vortex ot
dissipation; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of all his virile euer-
Si*- He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity
of debility and tastelessness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the result pertect
prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrums
in such cases; but, as I had anticipated, without
success; and when 1 saw the “Luc*ia Cordial”
advertised, I must confess that even the great weight
of your name did not give me much hope in it, at
least so far as regarded the case in hand. I felt
bound to try it, however, and was soon satisfied of
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of
his system; and he is now, having used four bottles
as wellu ever. ’
