Spains, Lumbago, Pains and Swellings in the Joints, &c., known as Cohen’s Rheumatic Embrocation, begs respectfully to refer all persons suffering from these disea es to the 1 thousands of cures that his preparation has accom ! plishccl, and to the numerous strange and highly | respectable testimonials which have, from time to ; time,leen 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 i standing, and of an obstinate nature, that it has | never been known to fail. The following letters 1 are selected Lorn 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 piofession, as well as by the thousands of persons who have been elfectua ly cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined letters from a few who are well ami popularly known to the entire society in New Yoik, and whose opinions and professional judgments are universally esteemed.

All are ready u> ex claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained with every day’s reports of ills and specifics. This state ot ihe 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. 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 ihe 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. By using these bitters 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 with many of his friends. Mr. Cosby in sending ’ forth this advertisement, addresses tho.-e who know him. Ho has been for many years a resident of Augusta, at which place he can at any lime bo consulted about the bitters. They are good in all casts of diseases of the digestive organs, the symp i toms of which are indigestion, pain or oppression • in ihe stomach from food, lossoi appetite, flatulen cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the > side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak • ness, disturbed sleep, <fec The composition is en tirely Botanical, an«i has proved efficacious when many celebrated medicines had failed.

SPOIIN, a German physician of much note, naving devoted ms attention tor some years to tne cure and removal of the ctuses 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 effectually and perma nently this distressing complaint. There are many families who have considered Sick Headache a con stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring under distress which moy might not only alleviate, but actually eradicated by the use if 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 compaiut is every day gaining is certainly a matter ofmuch astonishment. That so m ich suffering should have existed forages without any discovery of an effectual preventiv ?, 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 Ihe most credulous. The principles on w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is an a milted 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 a sys tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiongh the stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expects restoration of the natural and healthy functions ot the system. Tins object, Dr. Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain. The truth of this position cannot he controverted, and the sooner sufferers with the headache become convinced ofit, the sooner will their suffering end in restoration of health, Ur. pledges his prefessionai reputation on this fact. The remedy may be had of apothecaries generally throughout the United States.

Indeed and certainly of iis operalions, 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, it prop erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or break and heal a bile in Jive days, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most desperate c w hite swelling that can be ima gined have been dest oyed by it in Jess than two months. In ihe bites of poisonous repiiles its effi cacy is truly surprising, and if applied in time, its powers of attraction are so wonderful that th?y will at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from perva ling 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 extei 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 winch 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 ux reputation, and as extensively employed in all parts of the United States, the Canadas, Texas Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine tha‘ has ever been prepared for the relief of sulfering man. They have been introduced wherever it was found 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. 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 kinl has ever re ceived testimonials of greater value th in are at tached to this. .. They are in general use as a family medicine and there are p thousands of families who declare they re never satisfied until they have a supply always on hand. They have no rival in curing and preventing Biliious Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma, Drops}', Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, , Piles, Choiic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, i Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach I and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,Flatulcnce,Habitu i al Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or Sallow ' Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, 1 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 requestor 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 make use of 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 hoxps in three ■ years-, and so great a?e the benefits we havereceiv i ed from them in general, that I would rather pnr i chase them al ten dollars a box 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 i has fully proved to me that your medicine is a sim i pie purifier of the system, and therefore equally i 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 speed}' and pal , pable were their effects tiiat 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 r 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 s of fifteen months, I have been c.uelly afflicted with Fever and Ague; and during the time could-find nothing— though I had applied to every tiling that gave me any thing like permanent relief. At length, how i ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one of our best phv sicians, and I am most grateful and happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used tw o boxes when I found that they had restored me to perfect health. Since then, various members of 1 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 my public testi mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your tin 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 fel’ow ciiizen, (Mr. Lee,) where I 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 1 have the pleasure to he 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 1 practice. Yours most resp’y. March 13, 1839. J. H. IRWIN, M. D. Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo gart, of Providence, R. L, Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’ j pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi cine, those effects being produced by the differences j of the quantity taken, and are decidedly superior to Lee’s, i.randreth’s or Morrison’s Pills. Extract fiom a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor, Me , Jan. 9, 1839. They are apeculiarly mild,yet efficient purgative medicine, and produce little,’ it any, griping or nausea. I have prescribed them with much success in sick headache and slight bil iious fever. Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams ol Burlington, Vt., July 9, 1837.—1 cordially recom mend Peters’ Pills as a mildly effective, and in no case dangerous, family medicine.

C., March 6, 1837,—F0r bilious fevers, sick head ache, torpidity of the bowels, and enlargement of the spleen, Peter’s Piils are an excellent medicine. Extract of a letter from Dr Gurney of New Or leans, La., Oct. 9, 1837. I have received much as sistance in my practice—especially in jaundice and yellow fever, from the use of Peters’ Pills. I pre sume that, on an swetage, I prescribe 100 boxes in a month Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson. N. Y., Ju.ie 3, 1836.—1 was aware that Dr. Peters was one of the best chemists in the United States and felt assured that he would some day (from his intimate knowledge of the properties of he-bs and drugs) produce an efficient medicine, and I must acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fullv resound to my expectations.

States, that he has purchased, f<»r a very large sum and from the in ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of p ar i 3 recipe ar d ii ht for making this astonishing midi cine Until the appearance of the • Lucina Cor dial, ’ (about three years s lice,) it was thought that the complaints, which it speedily overcomes, were beyond the reach ot human remedy, as for upwards of a thousand ytars. they had baffled the wisdom and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in ! all parts of the world. This C ordial, however, to the great advantage of the human race,soon proved itself to be the desideratum so long sought ior; and accordingly, notwithstandingtl e briet peri dof.tg existence, it has required a celebrity >so g re; ,t, , h£t it is eagerly inquired for throughout t | ie civilized globe. Dr. Magmn soon finding that the demand was so vast as o render a supply impo*,>ib’e, du posed of the recipe and right ol sale, under obliga tions of secrecy, fi»r England, the Lnited Nails, and othei countries,only preserving France su.d Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber pos sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and now hastens to give-1 he inhabitants of his hoe ci agents the benefits of his speculation. “Le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “the Lucina Cordial,” is a general invigorator of the human frame ! In nil i lie various cases of langur, lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing rcn.c-' dy ; as it fe equally its province to impart cheerful, ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor to the body But the peculiar virtueut, which celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty w ith wh' h it r, stores the virile powers when they have been destroved by disease, time, recklessness,orany of the numerous con es which terminate in the prostration of those tunc;ions In common with the generally of really good medicines, this*, o.dial contains ne-thing of a me.» curial or deleterious nature, among the many inure dients which compose it ; but is, at the same nme, so simple, yet.so fficacious, that while it can reno vate the pros.rated energies i f a giant, an tnfar may use it,not only with impunity, but with ad vantage. The usages of society are unfortunately such, that, notwithstanding the h-re fits which would be sure to result iromit, we cannot enter into an analy sis ol this inestimable Cordial here, or publish many of the documents which have been received, ts vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num bers of desj airing individuals. But this vve cannot forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at ail, as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of the prooreant functions, in cither sex ; and therefore, that these 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 Mnor Albns, obstructed, diffi cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon tinence ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there of It is likewise on 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, which he has received tromthe inventor, the illus trious Ur.

My reasons for so doing is, that the demands to me fur the above Cordial, ol which 1 am tHe inventor, are so nume rous, t hat I am unable to supply ali the orders from France find hal\ 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.

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels . October 3, 1837. To Dr. Magnin:—Aly dear iriend—l am mos gratified at i i.e unprecedented popuiaritv ol your “Lucina Cordial, ’ and am able to kear testimony to its surprising virtue, i had a patient rec uny, i M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had lor several years abandoned himself in the voticx ot dissipation ; and was only reclaimed Rom it" at length by the utter prostration of ali his virileener g.es. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity ot debility and tastelessness, for, if an occasional flash of excitement warnitd his system,'the pac tion was almost immediate, and the result pcriert prostration. 1 had appli d all the usual' nostrums in sucli ca*es ; but, us I had anticipated, - 'without success ; and when 1 saw the “ Lucina Cordial’ advertised, 1 must confess that even the great weight of your name did not give me much hope in it, at least solar as regarded the case in hand. I felt bound to fry it,however,and was soon satisfied of its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of bis system ; and he is now, hu\ ing used four bottles, as vveil&s ever. The number of documents, such as the above which have been recetved by Mr. Magnin, since the first appearance of « Le Cordial de Lucine,” would fill a volume as large as the Bible.
