is to subdue every vestige of inflamation, and then
acts mildly and copiously as a diuretic ; thereby
holding within itself, every requisite virtue, for
the subduct-ion of this loathsome malady—and ev

assertion, that copious diuresis and reduction of in
flation, are the only two things necessary to effect
ajsound and radical cure
The most peculiar virtue of the “Cinq Jours,”
is in that wherever it alone has been used to
affect a cure, none of those tenacious and disagree •
able consequences which almost invariably results
from the sudden cure of Gonorrhoea, have been
, known to obtain such as stricture, hernia, humor

most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis

treatment of Gonorrhoea.

Dear Sir—My daughter,a girl of fourteen, yvas
sadly afflicted witn thecomp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and I leared, independent of
every other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, I applied your ointment to the
afflicted part; and I 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 effected in rather less than two months;
during which time I used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
duting the previous three years, without any benefit

Dear Sir—l have to request of you to forward !
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most t
immediate conveyance, and without regard to the i
expense of carriage, as lam quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add,
tnat further Experience has increased my enthusi

perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.

Dr. Harrison,
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as I have used none other
in ray rather extensive practice for several years, and
if you think it would be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures which it has effected under ray 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 1 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.

Sir, —I have no hesitation in stating, in reply to
your note, that your 44 Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority ol 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

In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, w hit
lows, piles, &c.,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 noison

rhe 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 1 and my
family have takeaupwards of thirty boxes in three
years ; and so great a i*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 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-
Umcnts 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
I 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
-1 ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
I of our best physicians, and I am most grateful and
] happy in being able to add, that I had scarcely used
1 two boxes when I found that they had restored me
i to perfect health. Since then, various members of
! my family have used them with equal success—
I and consequently I feel it my duty to apprise yuu
j of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
| certificate, as lam anxious to add my public testi
j mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un-
I rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,
THEODORE JAMES.
I Augusta, Ga., Feb 10, 1839.
I Communication received from the eminent Dr. J.
j H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia:
Dr. J. P. Peters—My Dear Sir—On the night of
j the 11th inst., I was called in great haste to the
I house of a fellow ciiizen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found
1 his son laboring under a most alarming attack of
j Cynanche Tracnealis (Cronp) and apparently be
! yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
i tune, however, I had in my pocket a broken box of
| your pills—four of which I administered, with
j such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes
I rn y patient was at ease, and out of danger. This
i case, in connection with my name is at your scr
i vice—and I have the pleasure to be able to inform
I you that your inestimable medicine is in such great
j favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is
not one of them who does not use it in his private
j practice. Yours most resp’y.

“Le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English « v
Lucica Cordial” is a general invigorator of If*
human frame! In all the various cases of i, “* f
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailin e n * UOr '
dy; as it is equally its province to impart cheS’i' •
ness and decision to the mind, as health and • ’
to the body But the peculiar virtue on w hn-V®° r
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty
which it restores the virile powers when fhevh
been destroyed by disease,time,recklessness or *
of the numerous causes which terminate 'n n/
prostration of those functions. "*
In common with the generality of really <r,
medicines, ibis C ordial contains nothing of a m 1
curial or delelerious nature, among the manv n
dients which compose it ; but is, at the same tf*
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it ran reT' I
vate tiie prosirated energies of a giant, an mf,°'
may use it,not only with impunity, but with a-f
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately Buc h
that, notwithstanding the benefits which would b»’
sure to result from it, we cannot enter into an analv
sisol thisine limable Cordial here, or publish manv
of the documents which have been received as
vouchers of I lie blessings u has conferred on num
bersof despairing individuals. But this wc cannot
forbear remarking—that n has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility oi
the procreant functions, in either sex; and therefore
ihnt the seevils are the effects of arlificiaJ causei
and may be speedily subdued and removed by the
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also r n indubitable cur*

The United States proprietor of the celebrated
“ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the following certificate,
which he has received from the inventor, the illus

“ I’hii is to certify, that I have disposed of the
recipe for msking the “Luc.na Cordial,” or
“ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it

for so doing is, that the demands to me for the above
Cordial, of wlnch lam the inventor, are so nurae- I
rous, that I am unable to supply all the orders from
Franceun«i Italy alone; and have therefore dispo

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels, p
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am mos
gratified at the unprecedented popularity of your
“Luc.'na Cordial,” and am able to bear testimony to
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently,
I M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had lor , I
several years abandoned himself in the vortex ot
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of ait his virile ener
gies. He was, indeed, reduced to the last extremity *
of debility and t islelessness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the result perted
prostration. 1 had applied dll the usual nostrum*
in such cases ; but, as I had anticipated, without i
success; and when 1 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 fell
bound to try it, however, and was soon satisfied ol
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended* nt*
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity-'of* >
his system ; and he is now, hiving used four bottlek> -
as well as ever.
The number of documents, such as the aboft
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the
first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine,” would
fill a volume as large as the Bible.
