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.

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 universally esteemed. 1 M.

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. , feb2U F. M. ROBERTSON, M. D. f 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 June IS ts fv 9, COSBY’S DYSPEPTIC BITTERS. 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.

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 rich.” Signed WABINOSIIE,his X mark.

There are many j 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.

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 worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or beast. The proprietor has received at least a thousand certificates, and other documents, in favor of his “ Specific Ointm at,” upwards of a hundred of which were written by respectable members of the Medical Faculty.

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. 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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Most important to the American Public. The United Unties proprietor of the celebrated “ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay before the community, the following cernficate, which he has received from the inventor, the illus trious Dr. Magnin. of Baris • “ Thh is to certify, that I have disposed of the recipe for lurking the “Lucna Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it throughout the I niltd Slates of North America, jto John Winters Holdervvell, M.

As you requested me to stale the number of hot ties ot the “ Lucina Cordial,” which I have already sold, I have referred to my books, and find it to ex i ceed four hundred thousand ; while the orders now on hand cannot be supplied in less than three months. From an immense number of tesuraonials from the regular faculty, touching the virtues of the Cordial, 1 have in particular selected n,e following, which may be of use to you. Y 7 ou w ill also find a number of others of less importance inclosed. This immediaie cen ficale is from a body of eight of the ablest medical practitioners in France. To Dr. Magnin, inventor of i he Lucina Cordial, or Elixir of Love Respected and Honored Bir:—We have all in a variety of cases, tested the remarkable effects ot yourgreat discovery, and have assembled lor the purpose of hearing evidence to the taels, and tend ering you the honor which is your due The “Lucina Cordial” is in our opinion, an inlallihle remedy lor the prostration of ttie Procreant rune tions, and Artificial Barrenness : and therelbi must prove a blessing to the human race.

I think you have discovered the “Elixir of Life,’ which the alchy mists have been so long in quest ol; aik. that (pardon ray olficiousness,) you should have named it accordingly. From the eminent Dr. Devigney. of Brussels. 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.
