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.

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 r universally esteemed.

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. They can be had at T. H. Plant’s book-store, Augusta, and of O. Cosby himself, at the comer oi Washington and Ellis-streels. nov 30 ly CZNOI JOURS, OR 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 f rich.” l Signed WABINOSHE,his X mark.

There are many families who have considered Sick Headache aeon slitutional incurable family complaint* Dr. b. as sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring under distress which tney might not only alleviate, but actually eradicated by the use if his It is the result of scientific research,and iscntireMl of a different character from advertised patent meHl cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste. w 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 the United Slates. „ „ For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 Broad-street, Augusta. mar 26 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.

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. RUFUS R. BEACH, M. D. Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 29, 1838, 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. New Orleans, March 20th, 1838 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. _ __ . Cincinnati, August 9,1837. 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, HENRY JACOBS, M.

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. Augusta, Ga., Feb 10, 1839. Communication received from the eminent Dr. J. H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia: Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear Sir—On the night of the 11th inst., I was called in great haste to the house of a fellow 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. 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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
