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 warlikejtrince, 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 manipulatory 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 Ottowaand 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 my greatest cure for the bad sickness which my 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 rich.” Signed WABINOSHE,his X mark.

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.

There are many families whd have considered Sick Headache a con stitutional incurable family complaint* Dr. S. 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 remedy. It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely of a different character from advertised patent medi cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste. HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS. The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s remedy lor this distressing compaint is every day gaining is certainly a matterof much astonishment. That so m «ch suffering should have existed for ages without any discovery of an effectual preventiv ;, 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 vv hich it acts are simple and plain. It is an a milted fact that this complaint, w’hethercalled Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim arily from the stomach —those who think they have the Nervous Headache may rest assured t.hat this organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that 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 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. Tne remedy may be had of apothecaries generally throughout the United States. For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 Broad-street, Augusta. mar 26 THE great celebrityof this unrivalled Compo 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 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. <fec., immediately yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, il prop erly applied it will remove an inveterate corner break and heal a bile in five days, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer mttvo weeks, and the most desperate cases of white swelling that can be ima gir ed, have been destroyed by it in less than two months. Inihe 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 perva ling 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.

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 tailed and gone out of busi ness, I am fearful if 1 purchase at random, that I may be imposed on bv a counterfeit.

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 goad effects. 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 cures performed by this mediem been the subject of editorial comment, in variou newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be asserted, that no medicine of the kin 1 has ever re ceived testimonials of greater value th in 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 Billions 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, IncipientDiarrhoea,Flalulence,HaDitu al C’ostiveness,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 requestof your agent, Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the almost miraculous effects of your pil's; 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 arc the benefits we have receiv ed from them in general, that 1 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 grate. 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 upward 3 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 I am anxious to add my public testi mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours, Augusta, Ga., Feb lu,'%y£J. ) DGRE JAMES. Communication received from the eminent Dr. a. 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 ciazen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found his son laboring under a most alarming attack of Cynanche Tracnealis (Croap) and apparently be yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for tune, however, 1 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’ J pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi | cine, those effects being produced by the differences j 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, it 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.

Y., Juae 3, 1836.—1 was aware that Dr. Peters was one of the best chemists in the United Stales 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 nry expectations.

In all Ihe various cases of lane u nC lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing renT’ dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful" ness and decision to the mind, as health and vi» to the body But the peculiar virtue on which « celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with which it restores the virile powers when they hay been destroyed by disease, time, recklessness,oranv of the numerous causes which terminate in tfo prostration of those functions. In common with the generality of really good medicines, this Cordial conta.ns nothing of a ruer curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre. dients which compose it; but is, at ihe same time so simple, yet so ♦ fficacious, that while it can reno! vale 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 benefits which would he sure to result from it, we cannot enter into an analy sis ol this ine tunable Cordial here, or publish many of the documents which have been received as vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num bers of despairingindividuals. But th is wc 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 ol ihe procreant functions, in either sex ; and therefore, that these evils are the effects of artificial causes, and may be speedily subdued „nd removed by the use ol “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” The Lucina Cordial is also in indubitable cur* for the Gleet, and the Fluor A Ibns, obstructed, diffi. cult, or painful Menstruation; also, for the incon tinence ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there ol It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled medicine incases of Chronic Eruptions of the*kin, and in the dropsical affections ol the aged.

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels. October 3, 1837. To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend —l am mou 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, 1 M , a gentleman oI fortune, who had for several years abandoned hnusell 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 extremity of debility and tisteiessness. for, if an occasional flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac tion was almost immediate, and the result perfect prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrum* in such cases ; but, as 1 had anticipated, without success; ami when 1 saw the “ Lucina Cordial advertised,! must confess that even the great weigh: of your iitiue did not give me much hoj« in it, a: least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1 bound to try it,however,and was soon satisfied ol its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ol his system ; and he is now, h>iving used lour bold®** as well as ever. The number of documents, such as the above 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.
