\ TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF
i I FAMILIES.
R. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
1 f TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and
I 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
t wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them
i for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx
r 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 aosuru
’ 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
r Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of
| which, he holds himself bound, and in honor pledg
* ed to prove by thei:: use, that they are all that they
’ profess to be, and will do for othcis what they
have done for such as mav have used them; as
I 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 will recollect with what trembling
, anxiety calomel has been given to children, and
how they then wished for a substitute. It has
. long been known that the Tomato contained ca
thartic principles, but not until of late was it
ascertained that they contained alterative and diu
, retie properties. The Faculty embrace and use
i the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that
t they know what it s W’ere it a patent mystery,
1 they would be bound to reject the medicine, as they
i justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of the
, day. If you wish to cleanse the system with a
r , mild, sa.e anti-bilious 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 Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
THE subscriber has oj>ened an office, at Ihe 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 use of these Trusses, besides many
otners who are in a fairway of being entirely re
lieved. The following is the language jf the com
mittee ot the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of He mia.
“ The instruments of Dr. Chase have effected
the permanent and accurate retention of the in
testines in every case of Hernia observed bv the
committee, without material inconvenience to the
patient, and often under trials more severe than
are usually ventured upon by those who wear ether
trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any
offur apparatus known to the committee.” J
“ 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
ohamcal retention ir hernia, and as furnishing the
highest chances of radical cure.”

O. COSBY’S DYSPEPTIC BITTERS*
PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated to
\
disgust the public eye than ihe innumerable
advertisements ol nostrum* that are constantly ap- j
nearing in the public prints. All are ready to ex- |
claim,our souls are sick, our ears are pained with ,
every day’s reports ol ills and specifics. This state ,
ol i In- public mind would seem to forbid any person
i
of delicate mind from sending forth any new' ois- ,
coveries in medicine, to the trial of th? public.— ,
Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from ]
making known real discoveries, which w e are con
fident will benefit our fellow men. This latter (
consideration has prompted the author of these bn- ,
ters to make them known. He knows they are high
ly efficacious, for he himself, his wife, and many
friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was
himself a onnfirraed dyspeptic, so much, that even
his recollection was gone. By using these bitters j
he has been restored to health. Mrs. Cosby was
troubled lor many years,but was restored to health
by the use of these bitters. This has been the case
w-ith many of his friends. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addresses those who know
him. He has been for many years a resident ol
Augusta, at which place he can at any time b»
consulted about the bitters. They are good in all
cases of diseases of the digestive organs, the symp
toms of which are indigestion, pain or oppression
in the stomach from food, lossot appetite, flatulen
cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the
side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
ness, disturbed sleep, &c The composition is en- |
tirely Botanical, and has proved efficacious w hen
many celebrated medicines had failed. In support
of which he refers lh?mto Freeman VV. Imcy, she
riff ol Richmond county, and William T. Thomp
son, editor of the Augusta Mirror, and he might re
fer you to many others, but deems it unnecessary,
as he is willing to place it on its own merits. All
he asks is tor ttiose who are afflicted with the dys
pepsia to give it a trial.
They can be had at T. H. Plant’s book-store,
Augusta, and of O- Cosby himself, at the corner of
Washington and Ellis-etreets. nov 30 ly

ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
THIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
long known, and used with such unparralleled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeats, ap
pears to need no panegyric. Its operation upon the
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 all of its
, trying circumstances, namely, “five days,” —the
same success which followed it in a Northern lati
[ 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 Wabenothe, 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
I valued virtues have already enriched to an almost
. incredible extent the children of this warlike prince,
I not only by actual 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 sleeps with his fathers,” although
free to use it in their respective tribes, which
places it in the hands 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 Wabenoshe, to
5 M. Cheveret, when he purchased the original recipe,
I and had twice assisted 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 ira-
e ’ mediate use.
TRANSLATION.
’ “I, Wabenoshe, Chief of the nations Ottowa and
_ Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which I
_ have for ray white friend M. Cheveret, (for he has
r 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 a punishment by the Great Spirit, and hope that in
his hands it may do much good, and make him very
f rich.”

DR. E. SPOIJN, a German physician of much
mite, having devoted his attention for some
years to the cure and removal of theesusesoi NER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has ihe 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 they are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which tncy might not only alleviate,
but actually eradicated by the use >f his remedy.
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 fur this distressing rompaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment.
That so much suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effcclual 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 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 lh a sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, through the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration ol the naiural and
healthy functions ol 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
professional reputation on this fact. The remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United Slates.

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 lias been generally conceded to it, that
it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed thejspoed 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. <kc M 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 ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperate cases of white swelling that can be ima
gined, have been destroyed by it in less 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 the system. It is likewise greatly supe

To Dr. Harrison.
Sir —I useyour Specific Ointment in my practice,
and cordially recommend it as a most efficient reme
dy for Tumors, Ulcers White Swellings, Scrofula,
Rheumatic Fains, 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 my
power to award honor to merit.

Dear Sir—My daughter,a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn thecornp 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 1 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 effecied 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
doting the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

Dear Sir—l have to request of yon to forwarti
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,

Dr. Harrison
—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as I have used none other
in my rather extensive practice for several years, and
it 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
one days. 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 I used
to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi
ness, I am fearful if I purchase at random, that I
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.
Your obedient servant,

Dr. Harrison.
Sir,--I 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
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, whit
lows, piles, <fec., it is my 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,

hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of

high in reputation, and as extensively employed in
all parts of the United States, the Canadas, Texas

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

evidences of their good effects. The certificates
that have been presented to the propnetor exceed

which are from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent judges of their merits.

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 request of your agent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of your piPs; 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 in general, that I would rather pur
chase them at ten dollars a box 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 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 y r ou 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’ 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 tiling that gave me
any thing like permanent relief. At length, how
ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
of our best phj sicians, 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
my family have usefd 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.

H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia :
Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear Sir—On the night of

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, 1 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.

f INHE subscriber has the p’easure ol annomi Clr
1 to the citizens of the U. States, that he k*
purchased, for a very large sum and from ih e \

beyond the reach of human remedy, as for upward
of a thousand years, they had hafflpd the wisdom
and ingenuity of the most profound physicians i*
nil pans ot the world. This Cordial, however to
iho great advantage of the human race,soon proved
itself to he the desideratum so long sought fur • am ,
accordingly, notwithstanding ti e brief peri dos its
existence.it has required a celebrity so great, th at
it Is eagerly inquired for throughout the civilized
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the demand
was so vast as io render a supply impossible, du.
posed of the recipe and right ol sale, under obli<r ft *
lions of secrecy, for England, the United 813*6*
and othei countries, only preserving France ant
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber p os ,
sessed himself of the invaluable secret ; and now
hastens to give the inhabitants of his line of agency
the benefits of his speculation.
“le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “il le
Lucina Cordial,” is a general invigomtor 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 the mind, as 1; altH and vijor
to the body But the peculiar virtue on which it*
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they have
been destroyed by disease.time,recklessness,orany
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this Cordial contains nothing of a rrer
curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre
dients wdiich compose it; but is, at the same tune,
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can reno
vatc the prostrated energies of a giant, an infant
may use it.not only with impunity, but with ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such,
that, notwithstanding tlie benefits which would be
sure to result from it, we cannot enter into an analy
sis ol this ine.'limable Cordial here, or publish many’
of the documents which have been received, a s
vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num
bers of despairing individuals. But tois wc cannot
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that t here is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
ihe procreantfunctions.ineithersex; and therefore,
that these evils are the effects of artificial cause*,
and may be speedily subdued and removed by the
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also tn indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Floor Albus, obstructed, diffi

To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend-1 am mo.
gratified at the unprecedented popularity ol your
Lucma Cordial, and am able to hear testimony to
its surprising virtue. I had a patient recently,
1 M , a gentleman 01 fortune, who had for
several years abandoned himself in the vortex 01
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length oy the utter prostration of all Ins virileener-
By*-. "f was indeed, reduced to the last extremity
of debility and t.istelessness. for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the result perfect
prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nokruffl*
in such cases; but, as I had anticipated, without
success ; and when I saw the “ Lucina 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, howevir, and was soon satisfied ol
us 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 well as ever.
