This Medicine,! warrrnt by this publication,un
der a penalty of $5,000, not to contain one parti
cle of corrosive preparation. It is purely vegata
ble in its essences. Its first and prominent virtue
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 of 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 radical cure
The most pecul ar 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, ]>erplexing, and disagreeable dis
eases, consequent upon erroneous diagnosis and
treatment of Gonorrhoea.
Those affected are requested to call and try for
themselves. If the prescriptions are well follow

returned.

TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF
FAMILIES.
DR. MILES COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and
does not belong ;o 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, by any of the agents keeping them
for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx
iously looked for, some one in almost the extrerce
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to
be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosuiu
than for one to offer meal from the corn stalk, to
say nothing of th e 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 Yellow 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 r will recollect with what trembling
anxiety calomel has been given to children, and
how they then wished for a substitute. It has
long been know n that the Tomato contained ca
thartic principles, 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 bound to reject the medicine, as they
justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of the
day. If you w:sh to cleanse the system with a
mild, sa.e anti-lilious medicine, use the Tomato
Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon be in
this city. We all know something about this.

Radical Cure of Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Im proved Surgeons’ Trusses.
riNHE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
JL store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson &Co., for the
treatment of He rnia 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 use of these Trusses, besides many
others who are in a fairway of being entirely re
lieved. The following is the language of the com
mittee ot the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia.
“ The instruments of Dr. Chase have effected
the permanent and 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 known to the committee,”
ihe committee are induced by the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in strong terms, the in
struments of E*r. Chase to the confidence of
the profession, a- the best known means of me
chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the
highest chances of radical cure.”
The following is from the Southern Medical and
Southern Journal, published in our own city.
“ All must admit of the radical cure of hernia
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best
yet invented to elfect 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 adjuri
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate, from someresponsi.
bie person, of their pecuniary disability. *
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable

DR. E. SPOHN, a German physician of much
note, having devoted his attention for some
years to the cure and removal of the ce uses 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
nently this distressing complaint. There are many
families who have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as
sures them that ihey are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which ihey might not only alleviate,
but actually eradicated by the use jf his remedy^.
It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely
of a different chaiacter 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 ofrauch astonishment,
That so much suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual preventiva, 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 a milted fact that this complaint, whether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach—those who think they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th a sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, through ihe
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of ihe 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 suffeiers 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—lor the cure of
******
The French Pills are applicable in all cases, lot
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, thev never
disagree with the stomach, and in ihe first stages of
the disease they usually effect a cure in a few days,
wit h little regard to oiet or exposure.
In the most obstinate stages of the disease, they ,
are equally certain, having cured many after every
other remedy h-’d failed. In short they have been
so universally successful that the proprietor chal
lenges any one to produce a remedy of equal cer
tainty, under a forfeiture ot Three Hundred Dollars.

The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of W ake County', No
Ca., March 3d, 1838:
Dr. Peters—Dear Sir,—By request of your agent,
Mr. Harrison, 1 send you a few lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of your pil’s ; 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 my
family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
years ; and so great a*e the benefits we have receiv
ed from them fn general, that I would rather pur
chase them at ten dollars abox than have my house
without them. I will not enumerate Ihe 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 gra\ e.
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 I 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 ? 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 l3 of fifteen
months, I have been cruelly afflicted with Fever
and Ague; 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 our best physicians, and I am most grateful and
happy in being able to add, that I had scarcely used
two boxes when 1 found that they' had restored me
to perfect health. Since then, various members of
my family have used them with equal success—
and consequently' I feel it my duty to apprise you
of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
certificate, as lam anxious to add my public testi
mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,
THEODORE JAMES.

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
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 believe there is
not one of them who does not use it in his private
practice. Yours most resp’y.

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo
gart, of Providence, R. L, Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’
pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi
cine, those effects being produced by the differences
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 in sick headache and slight bil
lious fever.
Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams oi
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
diseases of the digestive organs.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Edw Smith of Mon
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 L.
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. u
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 „
sumethat, on an average, I prescribe 100 boxes in
a month
Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson.
i., juae 6, 1836.—1 was aware that Dr Pelers
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 resend
to raj expectations. They are indeed a superior

r ffIHE great celehrilyof this unrivalled Compo
; sition,especially injhe Northern States, leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its
r favor: lor it has been generally conceded to it, that
r it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
’ Indeed the'speed and certainty of its operations,
’ have the appearance of miracles :as ulcers, wounds,
’ corns, fever sores,chilblains, white swellings, biles,
piles,spider and snake bites,&c.&c., immediately
’ yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, il prop
erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or
[ break and heal a bile in five days, will allay and
; perfectly cure an nicer tut wo weeks, and the most
> desperate cases ot white swelling that can be ima
gined. have been destroyed by it in less than two
k 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 the system. It is likewise greatly supe-
I rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the
1 chafed hack and limbs of horses —for tetters, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every extex
nai bodily evil that may fall the lot of man or
beast.
The proprietor has received at least a thousand
certificates, and other documents, in favor of his
“ Specific Oinfm nt,” upwards of a hundred of
which were written by respectable members of the
Medical Faculty.
Albany, July 9th, 1837.
To Dr. Harrison.
Sir—l use your Specific Ointment in my practice,
and cordially re.commend it as a most efficient reme
dy for Tumors, Ulcers, White Swellings, Scrofula,
Rheumatic Pains, Chapped Face, Lips and Hands:
and for general external complaints. I write this
at the request of your agent here, w ho furnishes me
with the article, and am pleased to have it in my
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, indeper.dent of
every 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 1 thank God that my child is
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is
gelling her hair as fast as can be expected. The
cure was effected in lather less than two months;
during which lime 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 of the above
statement.
CHRISTOPHER HOWARD.
1 know the above statement to be coircct, and I
can add from experience that “ Garrison's Specific
Ointment,” is an excellent medicine for external
complaints.
MATTHEW PERKIN.
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 ray estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add,
tliat further »xperience has increased my 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 1 have used none other
in my rather extensive practice lor several years, and
if you think it would be to your advantage, I can
furnish you vyith 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, w hich it completely healed in iwenty
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
j tnenc, and the person Mr. Boyle,from whom 1 used
i to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi-
I ness, I am fearful if I purchase at random, that I
i may be imposed on by a counterfeit,
j Your obedient servant,
EDWARD RAMSEY, M. D.
i _ „ . Cincinnati, August 9,1837.
: Dr. Harrison,
Sir, —1 have no hesitation in stating, m reply to
| your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority of the ends for which vou re
j commend it. 1 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, w hit
lows, piles, &c., it is mv 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
I and ultimate cure was so rapid, that my patient was
j as well as ever in a week ; and has remained so to
j this day.
Yours respectfully,
HENRY JACOBS, M. 1).

beyond the reach of human ranudy. as for up*!? 1
of a thousand years. they had baffled the vvj“‘ I
and ingenuity of the most profound physi C j an "

itself to bethe desideratum so brag sought f or ’f
accordingly, notwithstanding tl e brief peri d ’p ;
existence, it has required a celebrity so great .l f
it Is eagerly inquired for throughout the i
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the , Jem 7 |
was so vast as to render a supply impossible d
posed of the recipe and right ol sale, under JmZ |
t ions of secrecy, fur England, the United State® {
and other countries, only preserving France a/
Italy for himself. Thus has the
sessed himself of the invaluable secret; £nd
hastens togivethe inhabitants of hislin ec f ag e * I

“Le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, I
Lucica Cordial,” isa general invigorator of t i
human frame! In all the various cases of lang Ua . f
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfhiJing. remp. f!
dy ; as it is equally ils province to napar; cheerfu.
ness and decision to ike mind, as health and vig 0 , I
to the body But the peculiar virtue on which ,;,
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty w i:
which it restores the virile powers w hen they (i av '. I
been destroyed by disease, time, recklessness,orani
of ihe numerous causes which terminate in tb I
prostration of iliose functions.
In common with the generality of really
medicines, this! ordial contains nothing of a n> er
curial or deleterious nature, among l he many ing f( ,
dients which compose il; but is, at the same tin#
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an inf an .
may use it,not only with impunity, but wiih s( j
vantage. )
The usages of society are unfortunately SU( .;
that, notwithstanding the benefits which would be[
sure to result from it, we cannot enter into ananah f
sis ol this inestimable Cordial here, or publish mail ' v
of the documents which have been received, s . I.
vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num. |
bers of despairing individuals. But this weeanno; f
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrate I
that there is scarcely ever, it any such thing at ai„ I
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility oil
the procreant functions, in either sex ; and therefore,
that those evils are the effects of artificial causes %
and may be speedily subdued «nd removed by foe t
use ol “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also tn indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus, obstructed, diffi.
cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon
tinenct ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there,
of It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of thesiun,
and in the dropsical affections of the aged.

The United States proprietor of the celebrated I

which he has received from the inventor, ihe Ulus. I

for so doing is, that the demands to me for the above

France and Italy alone; and have therefore dapo- f

To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am mot
gratified at the unprecedented popularitv ot youri
“Luc?na Cordial,” and am able to bear iestimonyH|
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recentlyi|
1 M , a gentleman ol fortune, who hadfoti.l
several years abandoned himself in the vortex * j
dissipation; and was only reclaimed from it* I
length by the utter prostration of alt his virileener t
gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extreme 11
ot debility and Ixstelessness, for, if an occasion* I
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reae J
lion was almost immediate, and the result perfc I
prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostril®!
in such cases; but, as I had anticipated, vvitfaooj !. s
success ; and when I saw the “ Lucina Cordial
advertised, I must confess that even the great
of your name did not give me much hope in it, 3l
least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1 k‘|
bound lo try it, however, and was soon satisfied ot
its efficacy ; for before a bottle was expended, ® v
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity
his system ; and he is now, having used four bottlf*
as wellts ever.
