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. M. B. COHEN, No. Hudson street,N. Y. New York, Aug. 3, 1838. Dear Sir—Having frequent’y witnessed the ap plication of vour Rheumatic Embrocation,and tie beneficial effects arising therefrom, it affords me pleasu re to state that I most cheerfully recommend it as an invaluable remedy, and the best known for the cure of that painful and distressing complaiat, either in its acute or chronic form, WILLIAM F PIATT, M.

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.

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.

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 may be had of apothecaries generally throughout ! the United Stales. ~ For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. Broad-street, Augusta. mar 26 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 beast. The proprietor has received nt least a thousand certificates, and oilier documents, in favor of his “ Specific Oinlm nt,” upwards of a hundred of which w r ere written by respectable members of the Medical Faculty.

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.

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.

In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit lows, piles, <kc.,it is mv universal recipe.

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.

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. 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 llthinst.,l was called in great haste to the 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. March 13, 1839. J. H. IRWIN, M. D.

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.

As you requested me to state the number of bet ties oi the “ Lucina Cordial,” which I have already sold, 1 have referred to my books, and find if to ex ceed four bundled thousand ; while ihe 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, 1 have in particular selected the following, which may be of use to you. You wiii also find a number of others of less importance inclosed. This immediate cerl.ficale is from a body of eight of the ablest medical practitioners in France. To Dr. Magnin, inventor of ihe Lucina Cordial,« Elixir of Love 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.

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 fill a volume as large as the Bible.
