THE subscriber has, fipened an office, at the Drug
store of Messrs.J. Robertson &Co., forthe
treatment of Hernia oj Rupture, by means of these
nstly celebrated instr rnents. He has now used
them for nearly a yea; vnd, did not delicacy forbid,
he could name several lersons who have been radi
cally cured, of this truf- distressing and dangerous
affection, by the \ seoflhese Trusses,besides many
others who are iu * faif way of being entirely re
lieved. The following‘is the language of the com
mittee ot the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernii.
“ The instruments ol Dr. Chase have effected
the permanent and arvirate retention of the in
testines in every case R Hernia observed by the
committee, without ma erial inconvenience to the
patient, and often und r trials more severe than
are usually ventured uj an by those who wearothei
trusses; trials that w( lid be imprudent with any
other apparatus known to the committee.”
** The committee are induced by the foregoing
conclusions to recoramt d, in strong terms, the in
struments of Dr. Chr to the confidence ot
the profession, as the I ;st known means of me
chanical retention in h* mia, and as furnishing the
highest chances of radici cure.”
The following is from he Southern Medical and
Southern Journal, publi; ied in our own city.
“ All must admit of t je radical cure of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Tn ses are decidedly the best
yet invented to effect the )bject.”
Persons from a distant can have the instruments
applied, upon appiicatioi|at the office, and all ne

RHEUMATISM.
€* COHEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.—
i Dr M B Cohen, proprietor of the universally
celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla
matory Rheumatism, Sprains, Lumbago, Pams and
Swellings in the Joints, &c., known as Cohen s
Rheumatic Embrocation, begs respectfully to reter
all persons suffering from these diseases to the
thousands of cures that his preparation has ac . col ?*
plished, and to the numerous strange and highly
, j respectable testimonials which have, from time to
time, been published to that effect in New iork
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
scription. It will be proper that all Persons; using
he Liniment, see that it is accompanied with the
t signature of the proprietor in his own hand writ ing.
Since the introduction of this remedy to the public,
( various empirics have been palmed upon the coun
i try, Nostrums and Lotions, and Liniments, and
l “Infallible Rheumatic Mixtures, all of which be
t ing a compound of ignorant quacks, are calculated,
: more or less, to injure the system rather than re
-1 move any complaint. In proof of the estimation
in which the Embrocation is held by respectable
! men in the medical profession, as well by the
thousands of persons who have been effectua ly
5 cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined
letters from a few who are well an( ' )^P ular y
known to the entire society in New Itork, and
whose opinions and professional judgments are

o. COSBY’S DYSPEPTIC BITTERS.
PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated to
disgust the public eye than the 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 panned wU“
every day’s reports ol ills and specifics. 1 his state
ol the public mind would seem to forbid
of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis
coveries in medicine, to the trial of the public.—
Still, 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 they are high
ly efficacious, for he himself, his wife, and many
friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was
hirasell a confirmed dyspeptic, so much, that even
his recollection was gone, by using these bitters
he has been restored to health. Mrr. Cosby was
troubled for many years, but was restored to health
by the use of these bitters. This has been the case
with many of his friends. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addresses those who know
him. Ho has been for many years a resident of
Augusta, at which place he can at any lime be
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, lossol appetite, flatulen
cy, heart bum, giddiness in the head, pain in the
side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
ness, disturbed sleep, &c The composiiion is en
tirely Botanical, and has proved efficacious when
many celebrated medicines had failed. In support
of which he refers them to Freeman VV. Cacy, she
riff of Richmond count’*, and William F. Thomp
son, editor of the Augusta Mirror, and be 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 lor tnose who are afflicted with the dys
pepsia to give it a trial.

ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHCEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
fgiHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
Jl long known, and used with such unparralleled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeaxs, 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
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 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
, M. Cheveret, when he purchased the original recipe,
| and had twice assisted the Chief himself through
the tedious maniputatory process of manufacture.
! Few white 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 Ottowa and
Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which I
have for my white friend M. Cheveret, (for he has
, done many good things for me and my people,) I
give to him ray greatest cure for the bad sickness
which ray 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

This Medicine,! warrrnt by this publication,un

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 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 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
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
alis, incontinence, and a swarm of other of the
most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis

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 m ich suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual 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 a; mitted 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 th a sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of ihe natural and
healthy functions of 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. Tne remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout

great celebrity of this unrivalled Corapo
-1 sition,especially in the Northern States, leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its
favor: for it has been generally conceded to it, that
it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed the’speed and certainty of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, white swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, &c. &c., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, if 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
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 mt,” upwards of a hundred of
which were written by respectable members of the
Medical Faculty.

Sir—l useyour Specific Ointment in my practice,
and cordially recommend it as a most efficient reme
dy for Tumors, Ulcers, White Swellings, Scrofula,
Rheumatic Pains, Chapped Face, Lips and Hands:
and fur general external complaints. I write tlis
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 the comp 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 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
during the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.
MARY HOWARD.
I hereby substantiate the truth ol the above
statement.
CHRISTOPHER HOWARD.
1 know* the above statement to be coireel, and I
can add from experience that “ Harrison’s Specific
Ointment,” is an excellent medicine for external
complaints
MATTHEW PERRIN.
Boston, Jan. 7, 1837.
Dear Sir—l have to request of you to forward
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 my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add,
that further experience has increased my enthusi
asm and established me in the opinion, that it is su
perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.
Respectfully yours,
CHARLES P. EMERSON, M. D.

Dr. Harrison.
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as 1 have used none other
in my rather extensive practice forseveral 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 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,
EDWARD RAMSEY, M. D.

Dr. Harrison.
Sir,—l 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. I 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, &c., it is mv universal recipe. I have
aLo 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,

f M iHESE Pills are no longer among those of doubt-
JL 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 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
few towns that do not contain some remarkable
evidences of their good effects. The ceitilicates
that have been presented to the propi ietor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of five hundred of
which are from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent judges of their merits.
I Often have the cures performed by this medkiu
been the subject of editorial comment, in variou
newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be
asserted, that no medicine of the kinl has evei re
ceived testimonials of greater value th in are at
tached to this. .
They are in general use as a family medicine
and there 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, lncipientDiarrhcea,Flatulence,Habitu
al Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or Sallow
Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels,
where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are
exceedingly mild in their operation, producing
neither nausea, griping nor debility.
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 of 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 abox 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 w T ho 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
timents of regard, your ob’t servant.
A. G. BANKS.
To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upwards 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 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 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 used 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.

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 ciiizen, (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
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.

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, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.
Extract from 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

diseases of the digestive organs.

tieal, U. C., Sept. 27,1836.—1 neverknev a single

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 sourcein the impurity of the
blood.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Dye of Quebec L.

LE CORDIAL
OU L’ELIXIR DE L’AMOUR‘
ffIHE subscriber has the pleasure ol armn
lo the citizens of the U. States, that
purchased, for a very large sum and from t' D!
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of p. ir Ule 1
recipe at d right for making this astonishing,!
cine. Until the appearance of the “ Lucina (\J
dial,'’ (about three years since,) it was fhoutrht ,1 °1
the complaints, which it speedily overcomes 1
beyond the reach of human remedy, as for 4
of a thousand years, they had baffled the w, a |l
and ingenuity of the most profound phvsicinn @
all parts ot the world. This Cordial, however■
the great advantaged thchuman race,soon n ro ®
itself to be the desideratum so lung sought for ■ JM
accordingly, notwithstanding ti e hrief period of*
existence, it has required a celebrity so great 0®
it Is eagerly inquired for throughout the civili,!®
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the demaS
was so vast as 10 render a supply impossible
posed of the recipe and right of sale, underTibliv 1
tions of secrecy, f«r England, the United Btafs
and other countries, only preserving France r
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber . 4
sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and v
hastens to give the inhabitants of his line of age *
the benefits of his speculation.
“Le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “ k
Lucina Cordial,” is a general invigorator of '■/'
human frame! In all the various cases of langmf
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing ret/’
dy; as it is equally its province to impart cheerf u *|'
ness and decision to the mind, as health and
to the body. But the peculiar virtueon which
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty wuh 1
which it restores the virile powers when they have!
been destroved by disease,time,recklessness,'oraml
of the numerous causes which terminate in th'l
prostration of those functions. I
In common with the generality of really g o( yi
medicines, this Cordial contains nothing of a me,»
curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingr,
dtents which compose it; but is, at ihesame tin If
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it van ml ■
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an mfy I
may use it,not only with impunity, but withal I
vantage. I
The usages of society are unfortunately such I
that, notwithstanding the benefits which would be I
sure to result from it, we cannotenter into an analy. I
sis of this inestimable Cordial here, or publish many I
of the documents which have been received, asS
vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num-ft
bersof despairing individuals. But this we cannot®
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated■
that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all,«
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of a
the procreantfunctions,infeithersex ; and therefore,*
that those evils are the effects of artificial causes,*
and may be speedily subdued and removed by the*
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also an indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus, obstructed,diflb I
cult, <>r painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon
tinence ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
of It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled 1
medicine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of theskin,
and in the dropsical affections of the aged.
Most important to the American Public.
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
trious Dr. Magnin, of Paris .*
“ This is to certify, that I have disposed of the
recipe for making the “Lucina Cordial,’’ or
“ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it
throughout the I mtfcd Slates of North America,
to John Winters Holderwell, M. D. My reasons
for so doing is, that the demands to me forthe above
Cordial, of which I am the inventor, are so nume
rous, that I am unable to supply all the orders from
France and Italy alone; and have therefore dispo
sed of the privileges vouchsafed in this, and other
certificates of a like nature in order to generalise \
the benefits of roy discovery throughout the world, j
Given under my hand at Paris, on this nineteenth I
day of January, in the year of our Lord,!
eighteen hundred and thirty eight.
ERASTE MAGNIN. 1
Postscript to the above.
As you requested me to state the number of hot
ties ol the “ Lucina Cordial/’ which I have already
sold, I have referred to my books, and find it to ex
ceed four hundred thousand ; while the orders now
on hand cannot be supplied in less than three
months.
From an immense number of testimonials from
the regular faculty, touching the virtues of the
Cordial, I have in particular selected the following,
which may be of use to you. You will also find s
number of others of loss importance inclosed. Tbit
immediate cert.ficaie is from a body of eight of the
ablest medical p ractitioners in France.
To Dr. Magnin, inventor of the Lucina Cordial,ot
Elixir of Love
Respected and Honored Sir:—We have all in a
variety of cases, tested the remarkable effects ot
yourgreat discovery, and have assembled lor the
purpose of bearing evidence to the facts, and tend
ering you the honor which is your due. The
“Lucina Cordial” is in our opinion, an infallible
remedy for the prostration of the Procreant Fane
tions, and Artificial Barrenness : and therefoi- must
prove a blessing to the human race. We ca also
bear evidence that, there is nothing in it of a mer
curial or deleterious nature ; and in short, tl r it is
one of the noblest medicinal discoveries ofany age.

Extract of e letter from the elebrated Talleyrand,
to Dr. Magnin.
I am now on the wrong side of eighty, and yet I
could been ray honor or oath if necessary, that a
bottle or two of your Cordial of Love has made me
feel as vigorous as a boy of five and twenty. !
think you have discoveted the “Elixir of Life,’
which the alchy mists have been so long in quest of;
ant! that (pardon my officiousness,; you should have
named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Davigney, of Brussels.
October 3, 1937.
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am mos
gratified at the unprecedented popularity ol your
“Lucina Cordial,” and am able to bear testimony to
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently,
I M~ , a gentleman ol fortune, who had for
several years abandoned himself in the vortex 01
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener
gies . He was, indeed, reduced to the last ext reraity
of debility and tastelessness. for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the result perleci
prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrums
in such cases; but, as I had anticipated, without
success; and when i saw the “Lucina Cordial
advertised,! must confess that even the great weight
of your nams did not give me much hope in it, at
least so far as regarded the case in hand. |
bound to try it, however, and was soon satisfied ol
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, mV
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of
his system ; and he is now, having used four buttles
as well as ever.
The number of documents, such as the abo'fi
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the
first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” would
fill a volume as largo as the Bible.
