So certain and searching is this Liniment in its operations, even in cases ot long ( standing, and of an obstinate nature, that it has ( never been known to fail. The following letters , are selected from hundreds of others of a like de- , scription. It will be proper that all P e *‘ !I ?J ! he Liniment, see that ft is accompanied withithc si-mature of the proprietor in his own hand wrrtmg. Sirice the introduction of this remedy to the public, various empirics have been palmed upon the coun try Nostrums and Lotions and Liniments, and ‘ Infallible Rheumatic Mixtures,” all of which be ing a compound of ignorant quacks, are calculated, more or less, to injure the system rather than re move any complaint. In proof of the estimation in which the Embrocation is held by respectable men in the radical piofession, as well as by the thousands of persons who have been effectua-ly cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined letters from a few who are well an(l a nd known to the entire society in New' Aork, and whose opinions and professional judgments are universally esteemed.

COHEN. Radical Cure olTferma or Rupture, by I>r. Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses. riNHE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug 1 store of Nlessrs. 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, j 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 jJr. Chase have effected the permanent and accurate retention of the in testines in every case of Hernia observed by a 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.” “ 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 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 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 adjusf 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 pecuniary disability. The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable to every variety of reducible rupture. feb 20 F. M. ROBERTSON, M. D. TO TIIE FACULT\ r AND HEADS OF FAMILIES. DR. 3IILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, 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, by 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 tc be made liom the stalk, i thing not more aosuiu 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 proless to be. and will do for others what they have done for such as naav 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 Ked 1 onialo, and produces twice as much of the haputine, or active principle, and wi.cn 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 ca i omel has been given to children, and L n .r f he} t J en Wlshed sot a substitute.

GOSBV*S DYSPEPTIC BITTERS. PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated to disgust the public eye than tha innumerable advertisements ot nostrums that are constantly ap pearing in the public prints. All are ready to ex claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained with every day’s reports of ills and specifics. 1 bis state ot the public mind would seem to forbid any person of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis coveries in medicine, to the trial of the public.- Stall, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from making known real discoveries, which weajecjn fident will benefit our fellow men. This latter consideration has prompted the author of these bit iers to make them know n. He knows they are high- j |y efficacious, for he himself, his wife, and many j friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was himself a confirmed dyspeptic,so much, t hat even his recollection was gone. By using these hitters he has been restored to health. Mre.

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 valued virtues have already enriched to an almost incredible extent the children of this warlike prince, 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 w-ho 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 M.Cheveret,when he purchased the original recipe, and had twice assisted the Chief himself through the tedious manipulatory process of manufacture. Few while 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 Ottowaand Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which I have for my white friend M. Chevtfret, (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.” Signed WABINOSHE,his X mark.

It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely of a different character from advertised patent medi cines, and is not unpleasant lo the taste. HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS. The extraordinary reputation that Dr. bpohn s j remedy lor this distressing rompaint is every day ! gaining is ceriainly a matter of much astonishment, i That so m ich suffering should have existed for ages ! without any discovery of an effectual preventiv i, or I cure, is truly a subject of much regret hut Dr. b. ! now assures the public that such a remedy has been invented as will convince the most credulous. Ihe principles on which it acts are simple and plain. Ins kn a mined fact that this complain!, 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, tiie stomach, is the first cause, that th-sys tem has become vitiated or debilitated, Enough the stomach, and that only through the same channel roust they expect s restoration ol the natural and healthy functions ol the system. This object, Dr. Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to aitain. The truth of this position cannot he 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, i tie remedv may be had of apothecaries generally throughout the United States. For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 Broad-street, Augusta. mar FIT HE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo- JL silion,especially in.the Northern States, leaves I the proprietor hut little need to say any thing in its favor: for it has been generally conceded to ir,that it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for ex ternal complaints that has ever been discovered. Indeed the’specd and certainly 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, il prop erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or break and heal ahiiein five nays, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer m two weeks, and the most desperate cases of w hite swelling that can be ima gined, have been destroyed by it m less than two months. In the bites of poisonous reptiles its effi cacy is truly surprising, and if applied in rime, its povversof attraction are so wonderful than lit y will at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from perva ting the system. It is likewise greatly supe rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the chafed hack and limbs of horses —for tetters, ring worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter nal bodily evil that may fall lo the lot of man or beast. The proprietor has received at least a thousand certificates, and other documents, in favor of his “ Specific (Jimm nt,” upwards of a hundred of which were written by respectable members of the Medical Faculty.

Sir—- The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have been long known to me,as I have used none other in my rather extensive practice lor several years, and if y«u 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 ore of a severe and apparently perpetual ulcer,in ’he back of a poor woman, Mary Baxter who res des 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 tailed and gone out of busi ness, I am fearful if I purchase at random, that I may be imposed on bv a counterfeit. Your obedient servant, EDWARD RAMSEY, M. D. _ __ . 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 lo the majority ol the ends for which vou re commend it. I qualify my certificate by tho word majority, as it is my maxim to gtve no opinion in medical mauers where 1 have had no experience. In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit 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 and ultimate cure was so rapid, that my patient was as well as ever in a week ; and has remained so to this day.

They have passed away from the hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide ot experiment, and now stand before the public as hi di in reputation, and as extensively employed in alf parts of the United States, the Canadas, Texas 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 f ew towns that do not contain some remarkable evidences of their good elfects. The certificates that have been presented to the propuetor exceed twenty thousand! upwards of live bundled of which are from regular practising physicians, who are the most competent judges of their merits. t often have the cures performed by this medicin been the subject of editorial comment, in varxou newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be asserted, that no medicine of the kmi has ever re ceived testimonials of greater value thin are at tached to this. ~ . They are in general use as a family medicine and there are.thousands of families w r ho declaie the} re never satisfied until they have a supply always on hand. They have no rival in curing and preventing Billions Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,Flatulence, Habitu al Costiv e ncss, Loss of Appetite,Blotchedor Sallow Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are exceedingly mild in their operation, proauciug neither nausea, griping nor debility. The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a highly respectable Planterof 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 of them, in connection with my name, in any manner you deem proper, I speak of their merits from experience, as 1 and my 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 w r ould rather pur chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house without them. I will not enumeraie 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 vv ith 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 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 of fifteen months, I have been ciuelly 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 ph>sicians, and I am most grateful and happy in being able to add. that 1 had scarcely used two boxes when I found that they had restored me : to perfect health. Since then, various members of I my family have used them with equal success — i 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. Augusta, Ga,, Feb 10, 1839. 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 ciazen, (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 administcie I, 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 1 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.

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 fiom 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.

States, thut he h* purchased, fora very large sum and from the m ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of p ari3 " recipe ard ri-iht fur making this astonishing medi cine. Until the appearance of the ‘ Lochia Cor dial,’’ (about three years since,) it was thought that the complaints,which it speedily overcomes were beyond Ihe reach of human remedy, as for upward of a thousand ytars. they had baffled th e wisdom and ingenuity of the most profound physicians m all parts ot the world. This Cordial, h’ovvcier to ih“ great advantage of the human race,soon proved itself to be the desideratum so lung sought for • and accordingly, notwithstanding U e brief peri d of t* existence, it has required a celebrity so great that it is eagerly inquired for throughout ihe civilized globe. Dr Magnin soon findmathat the demand was so vast as to render a supply impossible, dig. posed of the recipe and right of sale, underoblia a . lions of secrecy, t«r England, the United State* and other countries, only preserving France ond Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber n og . sessed himself of Jhe invaluable secret; cud now hastens to give the inhabitants of his line of agency the benefits of his speculation. “Le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “ih e Lucira Cordial,” is a general invigorator 0 f ih e human frame ! In all the various cases of languor lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing rc me ! dy ; as if is equally its province to impart cheerful, ■ness and decision to the mind, os health ami \i» or to the body But the peculiar virtue on which °itg celebrity is based, is the facility and certainly with which it restores the virile powers when they have hesn desiroied by disease,time,recklessness,orany of the numerous causes which terminate in the prostration of ihose functions. In common with the generality of reaily good medicines, thist ordial contains nothing of a mer cnrial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre. dients which compose it; but is, at ihe same tuns so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can reno vate the prosirated 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 the benefits which would be sure to result from it, we cannot enter into an analy. sis of this ine-timable Cordial here, or publish many of thedocuments which have been received, as vouchers ot the blessings it has conferred on num bersof despairing individuals. But t;.is vve cannot forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated that there is scarcely ever, it any such thing at all, as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of the p roc reant lunctions,in either sex ; and therefore, that these evils arc the effects of artificial causes, and may be speedily subdued and removed by the use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” The Lucina Coidial is also an indubitable cun for the Gleet, and ihe Fluor A Ibiis, obstructed, diffi. cult, or painful Menstruation; also, for ihe incon tinence o! Urine,or the irivolhniary discharge there of It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled medicine in cases of Chronic Eruptions ol t hi skin, and in the dropsical affections ol the aged. Most important to the American Public. The United Stales proprietor of the celebrated “ Lucma 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 .- “ I'hii is to certify, that I have disposed of the recipe for mrking the “Lue.na Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it throughout the I niltd States of North America, to John Winters Holderwell, M. D. My reasons fur so doing is, that ihe 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 Italv alone; and have therefore dispo sed of the privileges vouchsafed in tins, and other certificates of a like nature in order to generalise the benefits of my discovery throughout the world.

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.

We ca a lso bear evidence that there is nothing in it of a mer curial or deleterious nature ; and in short,thr ilia one of the noblest mealictnal discoveries of any age.

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels. . October 3, 1337. To Dr. Magnin;—My dear friend—l am raos gratified at the unprecedented populariiv ol your “Luc’iia Cordial,” and am abie ro hear testimony to its surprising virtue, i had a patient recently* 1 M , a gentleman ol 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 v irile ener gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last exiremiiy of debility and t isteiessness, for, if an occasional flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac tion was almost immediate, and the resmt pcriect prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrum* in such cases; hut, as I had anticipated, without success ; ami when 1 saw the “ Lucina Cordial” advertised, I must confess that even the great weight of your name did not give me much hojie in it* least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1 k'j bound to try it,however, and was soon satisfied °* its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, tny patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity at his system ; and he is now, having used four bottle*' as well is ever.
