KadicHl Cure ol Hennac»r Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
ri'lH E subscriber has opened an otfice, at the Drug
JL store of Messrs J. J. Robertson &Co., forthe
treatment of Hernia or Ruultre, by means of these
ustly celebrated instruments!. He has now used
tliem for nearly a year, ami, did not delicacy' torbid,
he could name several perspn‘,3 who have been radi
cally cured, of this truly distressing and dangerous
affection, by the use of Trusses,besides many
others who are in a fair wi y[ of being entirely re
lieved. The following is tle language of the com
mittee ot the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia. |
“ The instruments of Di. Chase have effected
the permanent and accura e; retention of the in
testines in every case of Herpia observed by the
committee, without materii 1 ‘inconvenience to the
patient, and often under t isjls more severe than
are usually ventured upon 1 yithose who wearother
trusses; trials that wmuld bei imprudent w'ith any
other apparatus known to tnej committee.”
“ The committee are induced by the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in ‘strong terms, the in
struments cf Dr. Chase |to the confidence of
the profession, as the best Known means of me
chanical retention in hemi j, and as furnishing the
highest chances of radical cure’ ”
The following is from thei slouthem Medical and
Southern Journal, publishediiit our own city.
“All must admit of the adical cure of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusse vre decidedly the best
yet invented to effect the obj *cL”
Persons from a distance ci a have the instruments
applied, upon application at the office, and all ne
cessary' information given t< enable them to adjus
it themselves. The poor, * ho are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, wil be treated gratuitous

The instruments are of al sizes, and applicable

RHEUMATISM.
COHEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.—
Dr. M. B. Cohen, proprietor of the universally
celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla
! matcry Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and
i Swellings in the Joints, &c., known as Cohen’s
1 Rheumatic Fbnbrocation, begs respectfully to refer
all persons suffering from these disea es to the
thousands of cures that his preparation has accom
plished, and to the numerous strange and highly
respoctable testimonials which have, from time to
j time, been published io that effect in New York
and other places. So certain and searching is this
j Liniment in its operations, even in cases of long
stancing, 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
signature of the proprietor in his own hand writing.
Since the introduction of this remedy to the public,
various empirics have been palmed upon the coun
try, Nostrums and Lotions, and Liniments, and
“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
i men in the medical profession, as well as by the
thousands of persons who have been effectua ly
cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined
j letters from a few who are well and popularly
known to the entire society in New York, and
whose opinions and professional judgments are
universally esteemed.

Dear Sir—Having frequent’y witnessed the ap

PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated to
disgust the public eye than the innumerable

pearing in the public prints. All are ready to ex
claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained with
every day’s reports ol ills and specifics This slate
ol ihc public mind would seem to forbid any person
of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis
coveries in medicine, to the trial ol th? public. •
Stall, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from
making know n real discoveries, w hich we are con
fident will benefit our fellow men. This latter
consideraiion has prompted the author of these bit
ters to make them known. He knows they are high
ly efficacious, for he himself, his w ife, and many
friends, have given I hem a thorough trial. He was
himself a confirmed dyspeptic,so much, that even
his recollection was gone. By using these hitters
he has been restored to health. Mrc. Cosby was
troubled for many years, but uas 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. He has been for many years a resident ol
Augusta at which place he can at any time b«
consulted about ihe hitters. 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
cy, heart t urn, giddiness in the head, pain in the
side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
ness, disturbed sleep, <fec The composition is en
tirely Botanical, and has proved efficacious w hen
many celebrated medicines had failed. In support
of which he refers to I reeman VV . Lacy, sdie
riflfof Richmond countv, and William f. Thomp
son, editor of the Augusta Mirror, and he might re
fer you to many others, but deems it unnecessary,

CINQ JOURS,
OR
ANTI-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
fS>HIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
J long known, and used with such unpanalleled
success in the Canadas for tbe last 30 y r eats, 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. Cheveves, from the celebrated
Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst
he, w T ith others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
siness in the North-west with the Indians. —
W’abenoshe 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
I 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,
1 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.

DR. E. SPOHN, a German physician of much
note, having devoted his attention for some
years lothecure and removal oftliectmscs of NER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis
faction to make known, that he has a remedy which
by removing the causes cures effeciually and perma
nently this distressing complaint. There are many
families w ho have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint - Dr. S. as
sures them that ihey are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which ihey might not only alleviate,
but actually eradicated by the use >f 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 for this distressing eompaintis 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 mined fact that this complaint, w hether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach—those who think 'hey 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, tluough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of the natural and
healthy functions of the system. 1 ins 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 hts
prrfessionai reputation on this fact. Tne remedy

TANHE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo
-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 thejspeed and certainly 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 uays, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperate cases ol w hite 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. Ii is likewise greatly supe
rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the
chafed back and limbs of horses —(or tetters, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter
nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or

and cordially rec ommend it as a most efficient reme
dy for 'Tumors, Ulcers, White Swellings, Scrofula,
Rheumatic Pains, Chapped Face, Lips and Hands:

Dear Sir—My daughter, a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn thecomp aim that physicians
termed a scald head; and 1 feared, 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 lather 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.

I hereby substantiate the truth of the above
statement.

Dear Sir —I 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 ol it. —Y’ou know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add,

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 y»*u think it vvouid be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures w hich it has effected under my 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
onedays. 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 1 purchase at random, that 1
may be imposed on bv a counterfeit.

Sir, —1 have no hesitation in stating, m r*p!y to
your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority ol 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 bad no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
lows, piles, <kc.,it is mv universal recipe. I have
aRo 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’

t d HESE Pills are no longer among those of doubt- <
1 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 m reputation, and as extensively employed in
alfparts 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 theirgood eliects. Ihe ccitificatcs
that have been presented to the propiietor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of live hundred of*>*
which are from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent judges ot their merits.
i Often have the cures performed by this mediciu
been the subject of editorial comment, in variou
newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be
asserted, that no medicine oi the kin t has ever ie
ceived testimonials of greater value th in are at
tached to this.
They are in general use as a family medicine
and there are.lhousands of families who declare they
re never satisfied until they have a supply always
on hand.
They have no rival in curing and preventing

The following w T as 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 tiie
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 ane 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 enumeraie Ihe 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 w r as 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 w'ere
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 yourpilm
| 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 Rai
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 1 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 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 yours,
THEODORE JAMES.

H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia:
Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear Sir—On the night of

house of a fellow ciazen, (Mr. Lee,) where 1 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, 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.

OU L’KLIXI R DE L’AMOUR.
rpilE subscriber has the pleasure ot announcin*
| to the citizens of the U. States, that he ha
purchased, for a very large sum and from tiie m
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Mngnin, ot p ar i s [
recipe ar d rLht for making this astonishing medi
cine. Until Ihe appearance of the“ Liicina Cor
dial,’’ (about three years since,) it was thought that
the complaints, which it speedily overcomes, were
beyond the reach of human remedy, as for upwards
of a thousand years, they had baffled the wisdom
and ingenuity ol the most prolouml physicians in
all parts ot the world. This Cordial, however, to
the great advantage of the human race,soon proved
itself to be the desideratum so long sought lor; and
accordingly, notwithstanding the brief peri dos its
existence, it has required a celebrity so great, that
it is eagerly inquired tor throughout the civilized
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the demand
was so vast as to render a supply impossible, dis*
posed of the recipe and right of sale, under obliga
tions of secrecy, l«*r England, l lie United States
and othei countries,only preserving France and
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber pog.
sessed himself of the invaluable secret ; and now
hastens to give ihe inhabitants of his line of agency
the benefits ot his speculation.
“Le Cordial De Lucine," or, in English, “the
Lucina Cordial,” is a general invigorator of fi le
human frame ! In all the various cases of languor,
t lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing feme'
dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful
ness and decision to the mind, ns health and vigor
to the body But the peculiar virtue on which its
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they hav«
been deslroved by disease,lime.recklessness,orany
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, iHis t oidial contains nothing of a mer
rurial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre
dients which compose it, but is, at the same tune,
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can reno
vate the prostrated energies ol 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 be
sure to result from it, weeannotenter into an analy
sis ol this ine-limable Cordial here, or publish many
of the documents which have been received, as
vouchers of the blessings it has confcrredon num
bers of despairing individuals. But this wc cannot
forbear remarking—that u has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
the procreantfunctions,in eithersex ; and therefore,
that thcseevils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued <md removed by the
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also tn indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus, obstructed, diffi
j cult, or painful Menstruation; also, for the incon
tinence ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
of. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
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,
w hich he has received from the inventor, the illus
trious Dr. Magnin.of Paris .-
“ Thi i is to certify, that J have disposed of the
recipe for tasking the “ Luc na Cordial,” or
“ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it
throughout the I niltd States of North America, 4
to John Winters Holderwell, M. D. My reasons
for so doing is, that the demands to me forthe above
Cordial, of which 1 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 my discovery throughout the world.

From an immense number of testimonials from

Cordial, 1 have in particular selected the following,
which may be of use to you. You wiii also find a

Respected and Honored Sir;—We have all in a
variety of cases, tested the remarkable effects ot
your great discovery, and have assembled for 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 lor the prostration of the Procreant tunc
lions, and Artificial Barrenness : and thereto! 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 ; ano m short, ll r it is
one of the noblest medicinal discoveries of any age.

J am now on the wrong side of eighty, and yet 1
could be on my honor or oaih if necessary, that a
hot tie or two of your Cordial of Love has made me

think you have discoveied the “Elixir of Life,'
which the alchy mists have been so longin quest of;
anc. that (pardon my offictousness,) you should have
named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am inos
gratified at the unprecedented popularity ot your
“Luc.'ua Cordial,” and am able to bear testimony to
its surprising virtue. I 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 ail his virile ener
gies. lie was,indeed,reduced to the last exiremiiy
ol debility and tastelessness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the result perlect
prostration. I had applied ail the usual nostrums
in such cases ; but, as I had anticipated, without
success ; and when 1 saw the “ Lucina Cordial”
advertised,! must confess that even the great weight
of your name did not give me much hope in it, at
least so far as regarded ihe case in hand. I fell
bound to try it,however, and was soon satisfied of
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, ray
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of
his system ; and lie is now, h<iving used four bottle*)
as well ts ever.
T. tie number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the
first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” would
