MILES' COMPOUND EXTRACT OF TOMATO —s’ substitute for Calomel, and does not belong to the family of quack medicines; for the reason that the component parts are made known to the facility, or any one else that may wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme North has advertise 1 a Tomato Pill, purporting in be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosuiu than for one to offer meal from the com stalk, to say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato so far North. Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the fomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of which, he holds himself bound, and in honor pledg ed to prove by theiu ise, that they are all that they proless to be, and -rill do for otheis what they have done for such as mav have used them ; as ‘■his is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will doubtless be valuable information to families to know that the Yeilnw are just doubly as valuable as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much of the hapatine, or active principle, and when used as a daily vegetable will be found to keep the system in much better condition than the other kind; many will recollect with what trembling anxiety calomel has; been given to children, and how they' then wished for a substitute. It has long been known tjfat the Tomato contained ca thartic princ : ples, kul not until of late was it ascertained that thei’ contained alterative and diu retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that they know what it is Were it a patent mystery', they would be bound to reject the medicine, as they justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of the day. If you wish to cleanse the system with a mild, saie anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato Ihll, of w'hich a supply, we learn, will soon be in this city. We all know something about this.

Cohen, proprietor of the universally | celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla 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 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 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 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 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. 275£ Hudson street, N. Y. New York, Aug. 3, 1838. Dear Sir —Having frequently witnessed the ap plication of your 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.

PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated to disgust 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 1 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 tht> 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 latter * consideration has prompted the author of these (ut 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. By using these hitters he has been restored to health. Mrs. (Joshy was troubled for many years,but was restored to health by the use of these bitters. This has been the case w'lth many of his friends. 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 lime be consulted about the bitters. They are good in all cases of diseases of the digestive organs, the symp toms of w hich 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 coraposiiion is en tirely Boianical, ami has proved efficacious when many celebrated medicines had failed. In support of which he refers them to Freeman W. Lacy, she riff of Richmond count' - , and William T. Thomp son, editor of the Augusta Mirror, and he might re fer you to many others, but deems it unnecessary, as tie is willing to place it on its own merits. All he asks is lor tnose who are afflicted with me dys pepsia to give it a trial. They can be had at T. H. Plant’s book-store, Augusta, and of O. Coshy himself, at the corner of W'aenmgton and Ellis-streets. nov 30 ly cma jours, OR ' ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHCEAL SOLUTION, Warranted to cure in Five Days. fgtHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so A long known, and used with such unparraileled success in the Canadas for the last 30 j r eais, 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 w - as 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 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, and had twice assisted the Chief himself through the tedious maniputatory 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.” Signed WABINOSHE,his X mark.

BPGIIN, a German physician of much note, having devoted his attention for some years to the cure and removal of the causes of NER VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis faction to make known, that he has a remedy which by removing ihe causes cures effect ually and perma nently this distressing complaint. There are many families who have considered Sick Headache a con stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. tv as sures them that ihey are mistaken, and labouring under distress which tney 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 chaiacter 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 compaint is every day gaining is certainly a matter ofniuch astonishment, That so much suffering should have existed for ages without any discovery of an effectual prevenliv ), 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 mitted 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 I his organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th a sys tem has become vitiated or debihtaled, thiough the stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expects restoration of the naiural and healthv functions of the system. This object, Dr. Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain. The truth of (his 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 professionai reputation on this fact. The remedy may be had of apothecaries generally throughout the United Stales.

Indeed the’speed and certainly of its operations, have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wouuds, corns, fever sores,chilblains, white swellings, biles, piles, spider and snake bites, &c. &c., immediately yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, it 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 m two weeks, and the most desperate cases of white 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. It is likewise greatly supe rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the chafed back and limbs of horses—lor 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 leaet 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.

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 kin 1 has ever re ceived testimonials of greater value thin 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 Billious Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bowels, IncipientDiarrhoea,Flatulence,Habitu al Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or Sallow Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are exceedingly mild in their operation, producing neither nausea, griping nor debility. 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 r request of your agent, Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the almost miraculous effects of your piPs; and I would add, that you may r make use of 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 a*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 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 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 had restored me to perfect health. Since then, various members of my family have used them with equal success— and consequent!}' 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 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 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 I administered, with such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes my patient was at ease, and out of danger.

Until the appearance of the ‘ Lucirfar I dial,” (about three years since,) it was Ihougqt tT the complaints,which it speedily overcomes «• 31 beyond the reach of human remedy, as of a thousand years, they hail baffled the vv lg / Qs and ingenuity of the most profound physician I all parts of the world. This Cordial, hoi Vt , v J J n ' the great advantage of the human race,soon , ’ U ! itself to be the desideratum so long sought !oW) accordingly, notwithstanding tl e brief p er j' existence, it has required a celebrity so g rea , of 8 .t fs eagerly inquired for throughout the civipy! globe. Dr Magnin soon finding that the ,i was so vast as to render a supply impossible, V' posed of the recipe and right of sale, under o'bliJ** tions of secrecy, for England, the United Stau! and othei countries, only preserving France ar Italy for himself. Tims has the subscriber pj ses&ed himself of the invaluable secret; and non hastens to give the inhabitants of hislineofagen. v the benefits of his speculation. “le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, «,• f Lucina Cordial,” is a general invigorator of human frame! In all the various cases of ianjmj. lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing reo it dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheeriu ness and decision to the mind, as health and to the body Hut the peculiar virtue on which V, celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty wii which it restores the virile powers when ihey hau been destroyed by disease, time, recklessness,oram of the numerous causes which terminate in tfo ,[ prostration of those functions. In common with the generality of really I medicines, this Cordial contains nothing of a m.er curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre. dients which compose it ; but is, at the same time I so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can ren»! 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 she benefits which would be sure to result from it, we cannotenter into an analv sis of thisine fimable Cordial here, or publish mam of the documents which have been received, a, vouchers of the blessings u has conferred on num bers of despairing individuals. But this wccannui 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 those evils are 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 tinenct ot Urine,or the involuniary discharge then*, 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 Jay 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 recioe for making the “Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it throughout the f nited States of North America, to John Winters Holderwell, M.

From an immense number of testimonials from the regular faculty, touching the virtues of the Cordial, I have in particular selected the following, which may be of use lo you.

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels October 3, 1837. To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend —I am mos j gratified at the unprecedented popularity ol your “Luc'na Cordial,” and am able to hear testimony to its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently, I >1 , a gentleman ol fortune, who had for several years abandoned himself in the vortex oi dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener gies. He was,indeed,reduced lo the last extremity of debility ami t istelessness, for, if an occasional flask of excitement w anned his system, the reac tion was almost immediate, and the result perted prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrums in such cases; but, as I had anticipated, without success; and when 1 saw the “Lucina Cordial advertised, I must confess that even the great weigh! of your name did not give me much hope in it,J 1 least so far as regarded the case in hand. } bound to try it, however, and was soon satisfied oj its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, w' patient gave evidence of the returning ul his system ; and he is now, having used f as well is ever.
