RHEUMATISM* C
COHEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.— 1
Dr. M. B. Cohen,proprietor ofthe universally J
celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla- a
matory Rheumatism ; Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and f
Swellings in the Joints, &c., known as Cohen’s c
Rheumatic Embrocation, begs respectfully to refer «
all persons suffering from these disea-es to the •
thousands of cures that his preparation has accom- c
plished, and to the numerous strange and highly <
respectable testimonials which have, from time to *
time, been published to that effect in New York J
and other places. So certain and searching is this
Liniment in its operations, even in cases of 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- j
scription. It will be proper that all persons using j
he Liniment, see that ft is accompanied with the j
signature of the proprietor in his own hand writing, j
Since the introduction of this remedy to the public, (
various empirics have been palmed upon the coun- ,
try. Nostrums and Lotions, and Liniments, and j
“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 1
men in the mfcdical profession, as well as by the 1
thousands of persons who have been effectual}’ (
cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined !
letters from a few who are well and popularly 1
known to the entire societ}' in New 3ork, and 1
whose opinions and professional judgments are 1

Radical Cure ol Hernia or Rupture, by Ur.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
riIHE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug ;
1 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 1
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 ol 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 1
committee, without material inconvenience to the <
patient, and often under trials more severe than l
are usually ventured upon by those who wearother
trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any 1
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 1
the profession, as the best known means of me
chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the !
highest chances of radical cure.” j
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 adjus[
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate,from someresponsi I
ble person,of their pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture. ,

TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF 1
FAMILIES.
DR. 3IILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF J
TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and
does not belong to the family of quack 1 edicines; ,
for the reason that the component parts are made t
knowm to the faculty, or any one else that may i
wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them
for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx- a
iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme t
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to s
be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosuiu 1
than for one to offer meal from the corn stalk, to t
say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the 1
Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of r
which, he holds himself bound, and in honor pled o- - c
ed to prove by their use, that they are all that they 8
profess to be, and will do for otheis what they
have done for such as mav have used them; as r
this is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will
doubtless be valuable information to families to F
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 w'hen used 8
as a daily vegetable will be found to keep the r
system in much better condition than the other }
kind ; many will recollect with what trembling >
anxiety calomel has been given to children, and I
how they then wished for a substitute. It has j
long been known that the Tomato contained ca- „
thartic principles, but not until of late was it j
ascertained that they contained alterative and diu- w
retie properties. Ihe 1 acuity embrace and use n
the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that 8 ,
they know what it is Were it a patent mystery s ,
they would be bound 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 li
mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato
IPill, of which a supply, we leam, will soon be in b
this city. We all know some tiling about this. a l

PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated to
disgust the public eye thantha innumerable
advertisements of 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. This state
of 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.—
Sull, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from
making known real discoveries, which we are con
fident will benefit our fellow men. This latter
consideration has prompted the author of these bit
ters to make them known. He knows thej 7 are high
ly efficacious, for he himself, his wife, and many
friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was
himself a confirmed dysjieptic,so much, that even
his recollection was gone, By using these hitters
he has been restored to health. Mn. Cosby was
troubled for many years,but was restored to health
by the use of these hitters. This has been the case
with many of Ins fri-nds. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this adveriisement, addresses those who know
him. He has been for many years a resident of
Augusta at which place he can at any lime 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
cv, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the
side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
ness, disluibed sleep, <fec The composition is en
tirely Botanical, am! has proved efficacious w hen
many celebrated medicines had failed. In support
of which he refers thvmto Freeman W. I.acy, she
riff of Richmond count- , and W illiam 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 ow n merits. All
he asks is tor tnose who are afflicted with tne dys
peosia to give it atrial.

ANTi-BALSAMJC GONORRHCEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
TgIHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
X long known, and used with such unparralleled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeais, 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, witli others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
siness in the North-west with the Indians. —
Wabenoshe prized highly and use it with invariable
succe s s 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 “ait 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 T 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 w-hile 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 m3' white friend M. Chev£ret, (for he has
done many good things for me and m3 7 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 (treat Spirit, and hope that in
his hands it may do much good, and make him very

This Medicine,! warrrnt by-tins publication,un

ble in its essences. Its first and prominent virtue
is to subdue ever 3' vestige of inflamation, and then
acts mildly 7 and copiously 7 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 7 two things necessary to effect
ajsound and radical cure
" The most peculiar virtue of the “Cinq Jours,”
is in this, that wherever it alone has been used to
atfect 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, perplexing, 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
ed and fail to cure, the money will in every 7 case be
returned.

The French Pills are applicable in all cases, foi

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

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,

In the most obstinate stages of the disease, they

Dr. Valier—Dear Sir; About a month ago, I sent

much obliged to you for furnishing me with a medi
cine so effectual and so pleasant to use. When I
sent for your Pills I had been troubled with the
disease for nearly 6 months, and had tried a great
many medicines without any effect. During the
first six weeks 1 was under a Physician of this
place, but fintiing little or no chance of being cured
by him, I left him, and a few days after visited
Philadelphia, where 1 bought a variety of advertised
specifics {almost enough to stock an apothecary shop,

Not knowing wtiat to resort to next, and seeing you

years to the cure and removal ofthectusesofNEß- II
VOUS AND SICK HEAD aCHE, has the satis- 1
faction to make known, that he has a remedy which
by removing the causes cures effectually and perma

families who have considered Sick Headache a con- (
stituiional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as
sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which tnoy might not only alleviate, ‘
but actually eradicated by the use »f his remedy. j
It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely
of a different chaiacter from advertised patent raedi- j
cities, 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 of much astonishment,
That so in tch suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual prevenliv *, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. 8.
now assures the public that such a r medy 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, w hether 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“ sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiongh the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expect s 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 States.

the proprietor hut little need to say any thing 111 its
favor: for it has been generally conceded to ir,that
it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for ex

Indeed 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
y teld to its superhuman influence. Thus, it prop
erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or
break and heal a bile in five nays, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer 111 two weeks, and the most
desperate cases of w hite swelling that can he ima
gined, have been destroyed by it in less than two
months. In the bites of poisonous reptiles its effi
cacy is truly surprising, ami if applied in rime, its
powers of attraction are so wonderful that 1 hr 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 back and limbs of horses—for tetters, ring

sadly afflicted witn thecomp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and I feared, mdepe dent of
every other evil, that she would be bald in cotise- i
quence By the recommendation, however, of ihe
Reverend Mr. l ernn, 1 applied your ointment to the
afflicted part; and I thank God that my child is
now entirely recovered from the oisease, 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 bad spent upwards of a hundred dollars
during the prevtous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

I hereby substantiate the truth ot the above

Dear Sir—l have to request of yon to forward !
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the must !
immediate conveyance, and without regard to the !
expense of carriage, as 1 am quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know ray estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore 1 shall only add, ;

Sir—fbevirtuesof your Specific Ointment,have |
been long know nto 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 w hich it lias effected under my own imme
diate inspection: the lasi being one of a severe
and apparently perpetual ulcer,m 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 1
you, is 10 learn who is your authorised agent in this
city, for,being in want of a supply of your oint- 1
merit, and I lie person Mr. Boyle, from whom I used
to purchase it, having tailed and gone out of busi
ness, lam fearful if Ipurchaseat random, that I ]
may be imposed on by a counterfeit ,

Dr. Harrison. :
Sir, —I have no hesitation in stating, in reply to
your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority ol the ends for which you re- 1
commend it. I qualify my certificate by tho word !
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in 1
medical matters 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 Ihe extraction of Ihe poison, *
and ultimate cure was so rapid, that my patient was !
as w ell as ever in a week ; and has remained so to
this day. ]

I'HESE Pills are no longer amons those of doubt
ful utility. They have passed away from the
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, Texas
Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine tha*
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 remarkable
evidences of their goad eifects. The certificates
that have been presented to the propiietor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of five hundred of
which are from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cuies performed by this medkin
been the subject of editorial comment, in variou
newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be
asserted.that no medicine of the kial 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 who declare they
re never satisfied until they have a supply always
on hand.
They have no rival in curing and preventing
Billious 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 Costivencss,Loss of Appetite, Blotched or Sallow
Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels,
1 where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are
1 exceedingly mild in their operation, producing
neither nausea, griping no: debility.
Thefollowiwg was fonvarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No
Ca,March 3d,1838:
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, —By requestor 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 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 genera), that I would rather pur
chase them at ten dollars abox than have my house
without them. 1 will not enumerate the afflictions
■they have relieved us of; but 1 cun 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 yourpills
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*' of fifteen
months, I have been ciueily 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 1 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 1 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 vours,
THEODORE JAMES.

Communication received from the eminent Dr. J.
H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia:
Dr. J. P. Peters—My Dear Sir—On the night of
the llthinst.,l was called in great haste to the
house of a fellow chizen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found
his son laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cynanche Tracnealis (Cronp) and apparently be
yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
tune, however, I had in my pocket a broken box of
yourpills—four of which I administers I, with
such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes
rny 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. Yours most resp’y.
March 13, 1839. J. H. IRWIN, M. D.
Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo
gart, of Providence, R. 1., 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, Bran die th’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. I have prescribed them
with much success in sick 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
diseases of the digestive organs.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Edw. Smith of Mon
treal, U. C., Sept. 27,1836. —I neverknev 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, IS37.—For bilious fevers, sick head
ache, torpidity of I ; bowels, and enlargement of
the spleen, Peter’s Pills are an excellent medicine.
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., Juae 3, 1836. —I 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 respond
to my expectations. They are indeed a superior
medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist
the Physician, and the Philosopher.
cc. Feb. 7, 1387
Having used Dr. Peters’ Pills in ray practice for

OU L’F.LIXIIi HE L’ AMOUR.
friHE subscriber has the pleasure ol annomicini
1 to the cnizensof the U. States, thet he ha
purchased, for a very large sum and from the in
ventor, I tie celebrated Dr. Mtignin, of Paris . g
recipe ar d ri-iht fur making this astonishing medi
cine. Until the appearance of the “Lucina Cor
dial,’’ (about three years since,) it wasthought that
the complaints, which it speedily overcomes, were
beyond the reach of human remedy, as for upwards
of a thousand ytars. they had bafHpd the wisdom
and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in
all parts ot the world. This Cordial, however, to
I h“ great advantage of the human race,soon proved
ilse.l to be the desideratum so long sought for ; and
accordingly, notwithstanding tl e brief peri dof.t*
existence, it has required a celebrity so great, that
it is eagerly inquired for throughout the civilized
globe. Dr Alagnin soon findma that the demand
was so vast as'o render a supply impossible, dis.
posed of the recipe and right of sale, under oblim).
lions of secrecy, for England, the United State*
and other countries, only preserving France and
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber pos
sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and now
hastens to give the inhabitants of his line of agency
the benefits of his speculation.
“le i ordial De Lucine,” or, in F-nglish, “the
Lucira ( ordial,” isa general invigorator of the
human frame! In all the various cases of languor,
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing reme
dy ; as it is equally ns province to impart cheerful
ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor
to the body Bui the peculiar virtue on w hic h its
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers w hen they havs
hem destroved by disease,liiiie,recklessritss,orany
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of ihose functions.
In common with the generality of reaily good
medicines, this Cordial contains nothing of a tcer
curial or deleterious nature, among I he many ingrg
dients which compose it; but is, at ihe same time,
so simple, yet so efficacious, that w hile it can reno
vate 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 the If n« fits which would be
sure to result from it, we cannot enter into an analy
sis ol this ine timable Cordial here, or publish many
of the documents which have been received, as
vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on nura
bersof despairing individuals. But u. is wc cannot
forbear remarking—that n has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, it any such thing at all,
as rial ural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
the procreant luncttons,in eithersex ; and therefore,
I hat those evils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued and removed by the
use ol “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Coidial is also en indubiiable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor A Ibits, obstructed, diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation; also, for the incon
tinenct of Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
of It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine incases of Chronic Eruptions of thi skin,
j and in the dropsical affections ol the aged.

“ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay

yourgreat discovery, and have assembled lor the

“Lucina Cordial” is in our opinion, an inlallihle

October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am nios
gratified at the unprecedented popularity oi your
“Luc na Cordial,” and am able ro hear testimony to
its surprising virtue. J 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 ins virile ener
gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last exiremiiv
of debility arid t istelessness, for, if an occasional
flask ot excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost imnu dime,and the resuit pcrlect
prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrums
in such ca»es; hut, as I had anticipated, without
success; anil when I saw the “Lucina Cordial”
advertised, I must confess that even the great weight
of your name did not gne me much hojie in it, at
least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1 fell
bound to try it,however,and was soon satisfied of
iis efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ol
his system; and he is now, having used lour burtJcs,
as wellts ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Air. Aiagnin, sincethe
