Cohen, proprietor of the universally celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla raatory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and | Swellings in the Joints, kc., known as Cohen’s 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 respectable testimonials which have, from time to time, been published to that 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 scription. It will be proper that all persons using he Liniment, see that it is accompanied with the signa'urc 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 “Infs llible Rheumatic Mixtures,” all of which be ing a compound of ignorant quacks, are ca'culated, more or less, to injure the system rather than re move any complaint. In proof of the estimation in v. hich the Embrocation is held by respectable men in tlie medical profession, as well as by the thousands of persons who have been elfectua ly cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined lette s from a few who are well and popularly known to the entire society in New York, and whose opinions and professional judgments are i universally esteemed.

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 obtiins 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 -1 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 1 incredible extent the children of this warlike prince, not only by actual sale of the article itself to iu -1 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 l position until he sleeps with his fathers,” although 1 free to use it in their respective tribes, which 1 places it in the hands of every Indian who rely 1 w'ith, 1 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 31. 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 whicli is consumed in preparing the article for im mediate use.

The extraordinary reputation ihat Dr. Spohn’s remedy for this distressing compaint is every day gaining is certainly a mattsrofmucb astonishment.

The -rinciples on w hich it acts are simple and plain. Itis j ana milled fact that this complaint, whether called i Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim arily from the stomach —those who think they have : the Nervous Headache may rest assured that ihis ! organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that sys tem has become vitiated or debihraied, ih.oitgh the stomach, anti that only through the same channel must they expects restoration of the natural and : healthy functions ol the system.

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 elfects of your pit'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 are the benefits we havereceiv 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 enumerate tire alllictions I 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 | pie purifier of the system, and therefore equally | the enemy of every disease. I will mention one j case. 1 have a sister who had been for a long pe- I riod severely afflicted with dropsy in the chest and was brought by it to the very verge of the gra\ e. j 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 i ered her immediate death as inevitable. By good j fortune, however, as she was in this situation, ex | pect ng every day to be her last, your pilk were I introduced into my family, and so speedy and pal ! puble were tlreir effects that three doses visibly re- I 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 1 suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to ; miraculous; and yet I could mention many more j of an equally despera-te nature, in which your pills I were equally successful in rescuing the patients ! from the jaws of death. Need 1 add that the popu j 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 1 may mention, however, that notwithstanding its general use, I never heard in individual complain of its effects. My residence is 12 miles from Bal eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen timents of regard, your ob’t servant. A. G. BANKS. Tu Dr. Peters, —Sir—For upwards of fifteen months, 1 have been ciueily afflicted with Fever \ and Ague; and during the time could find nothing— though I had applied to every thing that gave me i any thing like permanent relief. At length, how ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one ; of our best physicians, and 1 am most grateful and happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used two boxes wlien I found that they had restored me j 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 3'ou to publish this j certificate, as lam anxious to add m3' public testi mony to the almost miraculous virtues of 3'our un rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours, THEODORE JAMES. Augusta, Ga.. Feb 10, 1839. Communication received from the eminent Dr. J. i 11. Irwin of Florence, Georgia: Dr. J. P. Peters—My Dear Sir —On the night of the Ilth inst., I was called in great haste to the house of a fellow ci.izen, (Mr. Lee,) where 1 found ' { his son laboring under a most alarming attack of Cynanche Tracnealis (Croup) and apparently be 3'ond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for tune, however, I had in my pocket a broken box of 3'onr pills—four of which 1 administered, with such immediate happy' effect that in a few' minutes m3' patient w'as at ease, and out of danger. This case,in connection with my name is at 3'our ser- i vice—and 1 have the pleasure to be able to inform you that your inestimable medicine is in such great favor with the faculty here, that 1 believe there is not one of them who does not use it in his private practice.

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.

Until the appearance of the “ Lucina Cor dial,’’ (about three years since,) it was thought Hiai the complaints,which it speedily overcomes,i V p rfl beyond the reach of human remedy as forupvv ar( j. of a thousand ytars. they had hafffpd the wi ß{ j (Jm and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in all parts ot the world. This Cordial, however to I lie great advantage of the human race,soon proved itseTl to be the desideratum so long sought for; and accordingly, notwithstanding fl e brief peri dos i s existence, it has required a celebrity so great, that it is eagerly inquired for throughout die civilized globe. Dr Magnin soon finding that the demand was so vast ns o renders supply impossible, dis. posed of die recipe and right of sale, under oblig a . lions «>fsecrecy, l**r England, tlie United Siaieg and othei countries, only preserving France and Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber p, )g . sessed himself of the invaluable set ret; end now hastens togtveifie inhabit ants of his line of agency the benefits of his speculation. “le Cordial l>e Lucine,” or, in English, “ffle F.ucica Cordial,” isa general invigorator of the human frame! In all liie various cases of languor, lassitude, nd 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 But the peculiar virtue on which its celebrity is based, is the facility and certainly with which it restores the virile powers when they have be»n destroved by disease, time, recklessness,or any of the numerous causes which terminate in the prostration of those functions. Jn common with the generality of really’ good medicines, this t ordtal contains nothing of a mer curial or deleterious nature, among i lie many ingre dients which compose it; but is, at the same time, so simple, yd so efficacious, that while it can reno vate the pros.rateii 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 :fie benefits which would be sore to result from it, vvecannotenler into an analy .-k of l his ine limable Cordial here, or publish many of thedocimienls which have been received, as vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num bers of despairing individuals. But tuis 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 of the procreant functions,in either sex; and therefore, that these evils are the effects of artificial cause*, and may be speedily subdued *nd removed by the use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” The Lucina Cordial is also tn induhiiable cure for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus,obstructed,diffi cult, or painful Menstruation; also, for the incon tinence ot Urine,or the involuntary discharge there of It is likewise an invaluable ami unrivalled medicine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of theskin, and ini lie dropsical affections of the aged.
