J,j Robertson & Co., forths treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means of these ustly celebrated instruments. He has now used them for nearly a year, ar l, did not delicacy forbid, he could name several persons who have been radi cally cured , of this truly distressing and dangerous affection, by the use of these Trusses, besides many others who are in a fair w;iy of being entirely re lieved. The following is ihe language of the com mittee oi the Philadelphia (Medical Society on the Radical Cfure of Hernia. “ The instruments of Dr. Chase have effected the permanent and accurate retention of the in testines in every case of Hernia observed by the committee, without matenii inconvenience to the patient, and often under trials more severe than are usually ventured upon by those who wearcther trusses; trials that wouldjbe imprudent with any other apparatus known to the committee.” “ The committee are induced by the foregoing conclusions to recommend,: in strong terms, the in struments of Dr. Chase; to the of the profession, as the best known means/of me chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the highest chances of radical dure.” The following is from t&e Southern Medical and Southern Journal, publish 'd in our own city. “ All must admit of the- radical cure of hernia, and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best yet invented to effect the object.” Persons from a distance :;an have the instruments applied, upon application at the office, and all ne cessary information given tjo enable them to adjus it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under this afflicting complaint, wiill be treated gratuitous ly upon presenting a certificate, from some response ble person, of their pecuniary disability.

Cohen, proprietor of the universally celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla -1 matory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and ! Swellings in the Joints, &c., 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 lime to time, been published to that effect in New York and other places. So certain and searching is this I 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 signature of the proprietor in his own hand writing. Since the introduction of this remedy to the public, l 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 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 w T ho are well and popularly known to the entire society in New Ymrk, and 1 whose opinions and professional judgments are universally esteemed. M. B. COHEN, No. Hudson street, N. Y. New York, Aug. 3, 1838. Dear Sir —Having frequently witnessed the ap plication of vour Rheumatic Embrocation, and tie beneficial effects arising therefrom, it affords me pleasure to state that I most cheerfully recommend it as an invaluable remedy, and the best known for the cure of that painful and distressing complaint, ' either in its acute or chronic form, WILLIAM F PIATT, M.

PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated to distrust the public eye than the innumerable advertisements of nostrums that are constantly ap 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 ul 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 the public. Suit, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from making known real discoveries, which we are con fident will benefit our fellow men. This laiter consideration has prompted the author of these bit ters to make them known. He know s they are high ly efficacious, for he himself, his w ife, and many friends, have given them 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. Mre. 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 fru nds. 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 ofdiseases of the digestive organs, the symp toms of w hich are indigestion, pain or oppression in the stomach from food, lossot appetite, flatulen cy, heart bum, giddiness in the head, pain in the side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak ness, disturbed sleep, &c Tiic composition is en tirely Botanical, and has proved efficacious when many celebrated medicines had failed. In support of which he refers thvm to Freeman W. Lacy, she riff of Richmond countv, and William T. Thomp son, editor of the Au.;usia Mirror, and he might re fer you to many others, but deems it unnecessary, as nets willing to place it on its own merits. All he asks is lor tnose who are afflicted with the dys pepsia to give it a trial. They can he had at T. H. Plant’s book-store, Augusta, and of ('. Cosby himself, at the comer of Washington and Ellis-streets. n0y.30 iy CINQ JOURS, OR ' ANTI-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION, Warranted to cure in Five Days. incomparable and invaluable remedy so J 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 al! 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 orrecipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue and hazard by M. Cheveves, from the celebrated Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst he, w r ith 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 with, I may say, religious confidence on its cura ble powers. ■ Below T 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.

SPOHN, a German physician ol much note, having devoted his attention for some years to the cure and removal ofthecausesof NER VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis faction to make known, that he has a remedy which by removing the causes cures effectually 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 they are mistaken, and labouring under distress which iney might not only alleviate, but actually eradicated by the use jf his remedy. It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely of a different characterfrom 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 conipaint is 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 admitted 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, that th 3 sys tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expect s restoration ol ihe natural and hcallhv 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. 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 ffNHE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo- JL sition, especially in the Northern Slates, leaves I the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its 1 favor: for it has been generally conceded to it,that it is beyond all comparison the best remedj- for ex ternal complaints that has ever been discovered. Indeed the'speed and certainty of its operations, have the appearance of miracles : asulcers, wouuds, corns, fever sores,chilblains, while 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 days, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most desperate cases of white swelling that can be ima gined, have been destroyed by it in Jess than two months. In the biles 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 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. The proprietor has received at least a thousand certificates, and other documents, in favor of his “ Specific Ointm nt,” upwards of a hundred of which were written by respectable members of the Medical Faculty.

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 4LQund possible to carry them ; and there are but few towns that do not contain some remarkable evidences of their good 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, t 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 of the kin 1 has ever re ceived testimonials of greater value th in are at tached to this.

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 wffio had been for a long pe riod severely afflicted with dropsy in the chest and was brought bj r 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 w*ere 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 tsere 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® 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 tike 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, THEODORE JAMES. Augusta, Ga., Feb 10, 1539. 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 I found his son laboring under a most alarming attack of Cynanche Tracnealis (Croup) and apparently be yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for tune, however, I had in my pocket a broken box of your pills—four of which 1 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 °Tcat favor with the faculty here, that I 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 gart, of Providence, R. 1., Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’ pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi 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.

States, that he^ha purchased, for a very large sum and from the la ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of Paris | B recipe ar d richt for making this astonishing niedi cine. Until the appearance of the“ Lucina (; or dial, ’ (about three years since,) it was thought that the complaints,which it speedily overcomes, were beyond the reach of human remedy• as for upward • of a thousand years, they had baffled the wisdom and ingenuity of the profound physicians i r all parts ot the world. This Cordial, however, to * (hegreat edvanlageof the human race,soon proved • itse.f to be the desideratum so long sought for; an j accordingly, notwithstanding ti e brief peri d 0 f)•„ existence, it has required a celebrity so great, p m , it is eagerly inquired for throughout the civilized globe. Dr Magnin soon finding that the Aemand was so vast as >o render a supply impossible, di* posed of the recipe and right of sale, underobh* a . lions of secrecy, ft*r England, the United Stafej and otliei countries, only preserving France and Italy for himself. Thus las the subscriber pog. sessed himself of the invaluable secret ; and now hastens to give the inhabitants of his line of agenev the benefits of his speculation. “Le Cordial l)e Lucine,” nr. in English, “ib e Lucira Cordial,” is a general invtgorator of the 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 I to the body. But the peculiar virtue on which in celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with which it restores the virile powers when they hav« been destroyed by disease,time, recklessness,oranv of the numerous causes which terminate in the prostration of those functions. In common with the generality of really good medicines, this Cordial contains nothing of a rr.er curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre dients which compose it;. but is, al the same time, 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, notwithstanding the benefits which would be sure to result from it, we cannotenler into an analy sis ol this inestimable Cordial here, or publish many of the documents w hich have been received, as vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num bers of despairingmdividuals. But this wccannot 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 of the procreant functions, in either sex ; and therefore, that these evils arc the effects of artificial causes, and may be speedily subdued and removed by the use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” The Lucina Cordial is also an indubitable cure for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus, obstructed, diffi cult, or painful Menstruation; also, for the incon tinence o! 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. i The United States proprietor of the celebrated “ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to Jay before the community, the following certificate, w hich he has received from the inventor, the illus trious Dr. Magnin.of Paris .* “ Thh is to certify, that I have disposed of the recipe for making the “Luc:na Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it throughout the I nitfcd Slates of North America, to John Winters Holderwell, M.

My reasons fur so doing is, t hat t he 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 oilier certificates of a like nature in order to generalise - the benefits of my discovery throughout the world.

You will also find a number of others of less importunceinciosed. Thi* immediate cert ficate is from a body of eight of the ablest medical practitioners in France. * To Dr. Magnin, in\ entur of ihe Lucina Cordial, or | Elixir of Love i Respected and Honored Sir;—We have all in a variety of cases, tested the remarkable effects ot your great discovery, and have assembled lor the purpose of bearing evidence to the facts, and tend- \ I emig you the honor w hich is your due The j “ Lucina Cordial” is in our opinion, an infallible ■ remedy for the prostration of the Procreant func 1 lions, and Artificial Barrenness : and therefoi must prove a blessing to the human race.

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels October 3, 183 7. To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am raos gratified al the unprecedented popularity ot your “Luc’na Cordial,” and am able to hear testimony to its surprising virtue. 1 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 all his virile ener gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity of debility and t isteiessness, for, if an occasional flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac tion was almost immediate, and the result pertect prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrums in such cases; but, as I had anticipated, without I success; and when 1 saw the “Lucina Cordial advertised, I must confess that even the great weight of your name did not give me much hope in it. at least so far as regarded the case in hand. I fel* bound to try it, however, and was soon satisfied ol its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, m v patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity •« his system ; and heis now, hiving used four bottle*, as well ts ever. The number of documents, such as the above which have been received bv Mr. Magnin, since the first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine," would fill a volume as large as the Bible.
