Radical Cure ol Hern aor Rupture, by Dr*

FIIHE subscriber has op< led an office, at the Drug
JL store of Messrs. J. J Robertson & Co., . irths
treatment of Hernia or Ri dure, by means of these
ustly celebrated instrum* its. He has now used
them for nearly a year, ai 1, did not delicacy forbid,
he could name several pei ons who have been radi
cally cured, of this truly * stressing and dangerous
affection, by the use of th* e Trusses,besides many
others who are in a fair v iy of being entirely re
lieved. The following is he language of the com
mittee of the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia.
“ The instruments of I . Chase have effected
the permanent and accur te retention of the in
testines in every case of ientia observed by the
committee, without mater il ; to the
patient, and often under rials more severe than
are usually ventured upon y those who wearother
trusses; trials that wouk be imprudent with any
other apparatus known to he committee.”
“ The committee are in uccd by the foregoing
conclusions to recommend n strong terms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the confidante of
the profession, as the best known me
chanical retention in hern »nd as furnishing the
highest chances of radical c re.”
The following is from th Southern Medical and
Southern Journal, publish* in our own city.
“ All must admit of the, radical cure of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Tru-s s are decidedly the best
yet invented to effect the ol ;ect.”
Persons from a distance * m have the instruments
applied, upon application a the office, and all ne
cessary information given j enable them to adjus
it themselves. The poor, vho are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, w 1 be treated gratuitous

The instruments are of 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-
I matory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and
Swellings in the Joints, fee., known as Cohen’s
j Rheumatic Embrocation, begs respectfully to refer
all persons suffering from these diseases to the
thousands of cures that his preparation has accom
plished, and to the numerous strange and highly
resjiectable testimonials which have, from time to
i time, been published tJthat effect in New York
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
j 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,
I various empirics have been palmed upon the coun
! try. Nostrums and Lotions, and Liniments, and
i “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
men in the medical profession, as well as by the
thousands of persons who have been effectually
cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined
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 frequently witnessed the ap
plication of vour Rheumatic Embrocation,and the

either in its acute or chronic form.

o. COSBY'S DYSPEPTIC BITTERS. .
PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated lo | ;
disgust the public eye than Ihe innumerable 1 •
advertisements of nostrums that are constantly ap- ,
pearing in the public prints. All are ready to ex- 1 (
claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained with
every day’s reports of ills and specifics. This state
of the public mind would seem to forbid any person (
of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis* (
coveries in medicine, to the trial of th? 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
himself a confirmed dyspeptic,so much, that even
his recollection was gone. Hy using these bitters
he has been restored to health. Mrs. Cosby was
troubled for many years, but was restored to health
by the use of these bitters. This has been the case
w ith many of his fritnds. 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 time b?
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 burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the
side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
ness, disluibed sleep, &c The composition is en
tirely Botanical, and has proved efficacious when
many celebrated medicines had failed. In support
of which he refers Freeman VV. Lacy, she
riff of Richmond countv, and William T. Thomp
son, editor of the Augusta Mirror, and he might re
fer you to many others, but deems it unnecessary,
as he is willing to place it on its own merits. All
hensKs is lor tnose who are afflicted with the dys
pepsia to give it atrial.

CINQ TOURS,
OR
ANTI-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
rs incomparable and invaluable remedy so
JL long known, and used with such unparralleled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeats, 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 da} r s,” —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
witk, 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 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 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.”

is to subdue every vestige of infiamation, 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
eases, consequent upon erroneous diagnosis and
treatment of Gonorrhoea.
Those affected are requested to call and try for
themselves. If the prescriptions are well follow

It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely

HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing corapaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter ofmuch astonishment,
That somnch suffering should have existed forages
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.
principles on w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a milled 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, lhat lh a sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough ihe
stomach, and lhat only through the same channel
must they expect s restoration of the natural and
healthy functions of the system. This object,
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attaifw
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

ffflHE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compdt
j|_ 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,
plies, spider and snake bites, &c. &c., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, it prop
erty 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 casesot w bite swelling that can be ima
gited. 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 sup®
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 Oinlra nt,” upwards of a hundred of
which were written by respectable members of the

Dear Sir—My daughter,a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn thecomp ainl that physicians
termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, independent of
ever> other evil, that she would be bald in conse
qtsence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, I applied your ointment lo 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 winch time I used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
duiing the previous three yean, without any benefit
whatever.

Dear Sir—l have to request of yon 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 rny enthusi

perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.

Dr. Harrison.
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me, as I have used none other
in my rather extensive practice for several 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 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 tw*enty
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 Ipurchaseat random, that I
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.
Your obedient servant,

Dr. Harrison.
Sir, —I have no hesitation in stating, in reply to
your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal lo the majority of the ends for which you re
commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by the word
majority, as it is my maxim to give nc opinion in
medical matters where I have had no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
lows, piles, &c., it is m v universal recipe. I have
also 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

-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 ask
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 tha‘

found possible to carry thorn ; and there are but

that have been presented to the prop: ietor 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 medicin
been the subject of editorial comment, in variou
newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be
asserted, that no medicine of the kini has ever re
ceived testimonials of greater value thin are at

They are in general use as a family medicine
and there are.thousands of families who declare they

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 pißs; 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 I and my
family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
years ; and so great ai*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 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 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
j 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 s 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' h id 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 ray public testi
mony to the almost miraculous virtues of y r our un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,

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 J found
his s n n laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cyn . Tracnealis (Croup) and apparently be
yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
tune, however, I had in rny 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
1 practice. Yours most resp’y.

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo
! gait, of Providence, R, 1., Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’
pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi
i 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

any, griping or nausea. I have prescribed them

Burlington, Vt., July 9, 1837.—1 cordially recom

really a valuable discovery. I have no hesitation

OH L’EUXIR DE L’AMOUR.*
FINHE subscriber has the pleasureo! announci
1 to the citizens of the U. Slates, ih«t.'he h*
purchased, for a very large sum and from t lle
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of p aris , n
recipe ar d right for making this astonishing nip I*
cine. Until the appearance of the “Lucina C
dial,’’ (about three years since,) it was thought
the complaints,which it speedily overcomes «■.!?'
beyond the reach of human remedy, as furunu-ii
of a thousand years, they had bafflpj [f, t V s
and ingenuity of the most profound physi c i ans ° m
all pans ol the world. This Cordial, however u
the great advantage of the human race,soon prove!!
itself to be the desideratum so long sought lor; an d
accordingly, notwithstanding ti e brief peri dos , U
existence.it has required a celebrity so great, tb"
it Is eagerly inquired for throughout ihe ; civilized
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the <lern
was so vast as to render a supply impossible, ds.
posed of the recipe and right of sale, underoblig a
tiuns of secrecy, f*r England, the United Bt;ueg
and otliei countries, only preserving France o r ,c
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber p os .
sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and now
hastens to give the inhabitants of his line of agency
the benefits of his speculation.
“Le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “fl le
Lucira Cordial,” is a general invigorator of fl le
human frame ! In all the various cases of languor
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing reme
dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful
ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor
to the body Bui the peculiar virtue on which m
celebrity is based, is the lacihty and certainty vviih
which it restores the virile powers when they hav#
been desfroved by disease.lime,recklessness,orany
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of ihose functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this I ordial contains nothing of a mer
'r.urial 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 of a giant, an infant
may use it , not only with impunity, but with ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such,
that, nolwnhstandmg the benefits which would be*
sure to result from it, we cannot enter into an analy
sis ol this iueiimable Cordial here, or publish many
of the documents which have been received, as
vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num
bers of despairing individuals. But this wc cannot
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, it any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility ot
the procreant functions, in either sex ; and therefore,
that those evils arc the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued and removed by the
use ol “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also tn indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus, obstructed, diffi
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 Slates 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 t nited States of North America,
to John Winters Holderwell, M. D. My reason*
for so doing is, t hat the demands to me for the above
Cordial, of which lam the inventor, are so nume
rous, that I am unable to supply all the orders from
France and Italv 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.

1 am now’ on the wrong side of eighty, and yet 1
could beoniny honor or oath if necessary, that a
bottle or two of your Cordial of Love lias niaueme

think you have discoveted the 44 Elixir of JLi/e,’
which the alchy mists have been so long in quest ol;
and that (pardon my officiousnesa,; you should have
named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am mos
gratified at the unprecedented popularity of your
“Luc ; na Cordial,” and am able so hear lestunony to
its surprising virtue. I had a patient recently,
several years abandoned himself in the vortex ot
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by*ihe utter prostration of all his virile ener
fßes - He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity
of 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 all the usual nostrums
in such cases; but, as I had anticipated, without
success ; and when 1 saw the 44 Lucina Cordial”
advertised, I must confess that even the great weight
of your name did not give me much hojie in it, at
lease so far as regarded the case in hand. I fed
bound to fry it, however, and was soon satisfied ol
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, ray
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of
his system ; and he is now, having used four bottles,
as well as ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Maguin, since the
first appearance of 44 Le Cordial de Lucine.” would
fill a volume as large as the Bible.
