Radical Cure ol Hernia or tnpture, by Dr.
Chaise’s Improved Surge res’ Trusses.
THE subscriber has opened a office, at the Drug
store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson & Co,, forthe
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means of these
ustly celebrated instruments. He has now used
them for nearly a year, and, 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 fairway of being entirely re
lieved. The following is the language of the com
mittee ot the Philadelphia MedicLl Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia. I 1
“ The instruments of Dr. Chafe have effected
the permanent and accurate rettption of the in
testines in every case of Hernia Observed by the
committee, without material inconvenience to the
patient, and often under trials njore severe than
are usually ventured upon by thos| who wearother
trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any
other apparatus known to the con .nuitee.”
“ The committee are induced I y the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in str< ng terms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to th coniidejpe of
the profession, as the best knowi rneans/of me
chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the
highest chances of radical cure.”
The following is from the Souti trn Medical and
Southern Journal, published in ou own city.
“ All must admit of the radica | cure of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best
yet invented to effect the object.” i
Persons from a distance can havilthe instruments
applied, upon application at the otlce, and all ne
cessary information given to enabll them to adjus
it themselves. The poor, who ar* laboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate,frora someresponsi"
bie person, of their pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all sizes, land applicable
to every variety of reducible ruptuui.

DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute so. Calomel, and
does not belong to the family of quack medicines;
for the reason that the componenriparts are made
known to the faculty, 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 advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to
be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosutu
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
Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of I
which, he holds himself bound, and in honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they are all that they *
profess to be, and will do for othns what they
have done for such as mav have u<ed them ;as ‘
this is a vegetable of great use, and; value, it will
doubtless be valuable information Ip families to 1
know that the Yellow are just doubjv as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces t|rice as much
of the hapatine, or active principle, a&d when used
as a daily vegetable will be fount| to keep the
system in much better condition than the other
kind ; many will recollect with w iat trembling
anxiety calomel has been given to children, and
how they then wished for a substitu.j. it has
long been known that the Tomato contained ca- -
thartic principles, but not until o;' late was it
a>certained that they contained alte" 1 live and diu
retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use <
the preparation most cheerfully, for t|ie reason that
they know what it is Were it apa tent mystery, 1
they would be bound to reject the meqlcine, as they 1
justly do the one thousand and one c ire-alls of the
day. If you wish to cleanse the s jstem with a

RHEUMATISM.'
COHEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.—
Dr. M. B. Cohen, proprietor of the universally
celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Inlla
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 diseares 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.

Dear Sir —Having frequently witnessed the ap
plication of your Rheumatic Embrocation,and the

PERHAPS mere is nothing .1)0’° calculated lo
disgust the public eye than lhe innumerable
advertisements ol 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 stare
ol the public mind would seem lo 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 the author of these hit
ters to make them known. He knows they are high
ly eflicaciou/i* for he himself, his wife, and many
friends, have giveti 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. Mrs. Coshy was
troubled for many yeans,but was restored to health
by the use of these bitters. This has been the case
with many of his frirnds. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advert isement, addresses those who know
him. Ho has been for many years a resident ol
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 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, disturbed sleep, &c The composition is en
tirely Botanical, ami has proved efficacious when
many celebrated medicines had failed. In support
of which he refers them to Freeman W. Lacy, she
riff ol Richmond countv, and William T. Thomp
son, editor ofifhe 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
he asks is tor tnose who are afflicted withltie dys
pepsia to give it a trial.

CINQ JOURS.
OR
ANTI-BALSAMIC GONORRHCEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
THIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
long known, and used with such unparralleled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeais, 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
or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue
and hazard by M. Chevercs, from the celebrated
Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, wliilst
be, with others was pursurngthe 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 anglisizedof 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 ray 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 mj' 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 inflamation, and then
acts mildly and copiously as a diuretic ; thereby
holding within itself, every requisite virtue, for
the subductrion 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
a|sound 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

NOSTRMUS of the age—for the cure of

The French Pills are applicable in all cases, loi
either sex, (warranted free from Mercury,; and pos
sesses great advantages over the Balsams and all
liquid medicines, by being entirely free from smell,
and consequently do nol«ffect the breath, thereby
preventing the possibility of discovery while usin<*
them.
Besides this important advantage, they never
disagree with the stomach, and in the first stages of
the disease they usually effect a cure in a few days,
wit h little regard to oiet or exposure.
In the most obstinate stages of the disease, they
are equally certain, having cured many after ’every
other remedy h->d failed. In short they have been
so universally successful that the proprietor chal
lenges any one to produce a remedy of equal cer
tainty, under a forfeiture ol Three Hundred Dollars

Dr. Valier—Dear Sir: About a month ago I sent
to you for three boxes of your French Pills, and feel
much obliged to you for furnishing me with a medi
cine so effectual and so pleasant to use. When I
sent for your Fills I had been troubled with the
disease for nearly fi months, and had tried a great
many medicines without any effect. Darin** 6 the
first six weeks 1 was under a Physician of this
place, but finding little or no chance of beingcured
by him, 1 left him, and a few days after visited
Philadelphia, where 1 bought a variety of advertised
specifics (almost enough to stock an apothecary shop,
and all of this I took with the same success as b< -
fore, leaving that c* ** *d smell of the balsam be
hind them, which I think lean smell to this day
Not knowing what to resort to next, and seeing you
French PiUs advertised in the Public Ledger,
determined to try them, and am only sorry I did m
get them sooner, as it might saved me fort
dollars and have cured me long ago. My object i
writing to you at present, is to procure some of lb
medicine for two of my friends, who are in th
same kind of a scrape. You will therefore pleas

DR. £. SPOHN, a (rernum physician of much
note, having devotee ms attention for some
years lo tne cure and removal of the causes of N ER- 1
VOUB AND SICK HEAD AC HE, 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 lamiiy complaint* Dr. S. as
sures them that they 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 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 com paint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That so nvich 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 w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is
an ac 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
orean, the stomach, is the first cause, that th-sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, through the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expect s restoration ol the natural and
healthy functions ol the system. J his 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. Spohn pledges his
professional reputation on this fact. The remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United Stales.

fl'lME great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo
-1 sition,especially in the Northern States, leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing tn its
favor: for it has been generally conceded to it,that
ills beyond all comparison the best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed the'speed and certainty of its operations,
have tlte 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, 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 less than two
months. In ihe 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—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.

Dear Sir—My daughter, a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn the comp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, independent of
every other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, I applied your ointment to the
afflicted part; and I 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 which time I used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
duiing the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

Dear Sir—l have to request of you 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 ray estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore 1 shall only add,
that further experience has increased my enthusi
asm and established me in the opinion, that it is su
perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.

Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known lo me, as 1 have used none other
in my rather extensive practice forseveral 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- I
diale inspection; the last being one of a severe
and apparently perpetual ulcer, in the back of a
- woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di
vision street, which it completely healed in twenty
ouedays. 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 tailed and gone out of busi
ness, I am fearful if Ipurchaseat random, that I
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.

equal to the majority of the ends for which vou re
commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by th« word ■
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in

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 tha»
has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering
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 pvopiietor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of five hundred of
which are from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent judges ol theii merits.^
. Often have the cures performed by this medicin
been the subject of editorial comment, in variou
newspapers and journals; and it may with ti uth be
asserted, that no medicine of the kin 1 has cvei le

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 pil'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 a*e the benefits we have receiv
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 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 upwards 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 1 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 1 am anxious to add my public testi
mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully ymurs,
THEODORE JAMES.

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 (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
< se,in connection with my name is at your ser
\ ce —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
practice. Yours most resp’y.

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.

really a valuable discovery, I have no hesitation

my practice,for all complaints, (and they are not a
few) which have their source in the impurity of the
blood.

LE CORDIAL. DE LUCINE.
OU L’ELIXIR DE L’AMOUR. \
THE subscriber has the pleasure ol announcing I
to ihe citizens of the U. Stales, that he has I
purchased, for a very large sum and from the in. ■
ventor, the celebrated Dr. iVJagnin, of Paris his I
recipe ar d right for making this astonishing nudi- I
cine. Until the appearance of the “ Lucina Cor- I
dial,’’ (about three years since,) it was thought that
the complaints, which it speedily overcomes,were t
beyond t he reach of human remedy, as for upwards
of a thousand ytars. they had baffled the wisdom
and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in
all pansol the world. This Cordial, however, to
the great advantage of the human race,soon proved
itself to be the desideratum so long sought for; and
accordingly, notwithstanding tie brief period ofits
existence, it has required n celebrity so great, thtl
it Is eagerly inquired for throughout the civilized
globe. Dr Magnin soon finding thauhe demand
was so vast as to render a supply impossible, du •
posed of the recipe and right of sale, under obliga
tions of secrecy, for England, the United States, .
and othei countries, only preserving France and* 4
Italy for himself. Thus has : lie subscriber pos- a
sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and now m
hastens logivelhe inhabitants of his line of agents, I
the benefits of his speculation.
“Le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “the I
Lucina Cordial,” is a general invigoralor of the I
human frame ! In all the various cases of languor, I
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing rente-’ I
dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful, j
ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor
to the body-. But the peculiar virtue on which its B
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with 1
which it restores the virile powers when they have
been destroyed by disease,time,recklessness,orany J
of the numerous causes w hich terminate in the I
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good I
medicines, this Cordial contains nothing of a mer- I
curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre- J
dients which compose it ; but is, at the same time, I ’
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can reno- K
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an infan- I
may use it,not only with impunity, but. with ad- B
vantage. ft
The usages of society are unfortunately such, I
that, notwithstanding ihe benefits which would be I
sure to result from it, w r e cannot enter into an analy- li
sis of this inestimable 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 we cannot I
, 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 procreantfunctions,in eithersex ; and therefore,
that these evils are the effects of artificial causA,
and may be speedily subdued and removed by the j
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also en indubitable cure
for the Gleel, and ihe 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.
The United Stales proprietor of the celebrated
“ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the following cenificate,
which he has received from the inventor, the illus
trious Dr. Magnin.of Paris :
“ Tim is to cerlily,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 I mted Slates of North America,
to John Winters Holdervvel 1, M. D. My reasons
fur so doing is, that the demands to me for the above
Cordial, of which lam the inventor, are so name- ,
rous, that I am unable to supply all the orders from
France and llal\ alone; and have therefore dispo
sed of the privileges vouchsafed in this, and oilier f
certificates of a like nature in order to generalise
the benefiis ol my discovery throughout the world.

ceed four bundled thousand ; while the orders now
on hand cannot be supplied in less than three

From ah immense number of testimonials from

Cordial, 1 have in particular selected the following, |
which may be of use to you. You will also find a
number of others of less importance inclosed. This
immediate cert.ficate is from a body of eight of the
ablest medical practitioners in France.
To Dr. Magnin, inventor of the Lucina Cordial, or
Elixir of Love
Respected and Honored Sir;—We have all in a
variety of cases, tested the remarkable effects ol
your great discovery, and have assembled lor the
purpose of bearing evidence to the facts, and tend
ering you the honor which is your due. The
“Lucina Cordial” is in our opinion, an infallible
remedy for the prostration of the Procreant f unc
lions, and Artificial Barrenness : and therefon must
prove a blessing to the human race. We ca. also
bear evidence that there is nothing in it of a mer
curial or deleterious nature ; and in short, itr it is
one of the noblest medicinal discoveries ofany age.

so Dr. Magnin.
1 am now on the wrong side of eighty, and yet I
could be on my honor or oath if necessary, lhal a
bottle or two of your Cordial of Love has made me
feel as vigorous as a boy of five and twenty. I
think you have discoveied the “Elixir of Life,’
which the alchymists have been so long in quest of;
and that (pardon my officiousncss,) you should havs
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 ot your
“Lucina Cordial,” and am able lo bear testimony to
its surprising virtue. I had a patient recently,
1 M , 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 to the last exiremity
of debility and taslelessness, 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 ; hut, as I had anticipated, without
success ; and when 1 saw r 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. 1 felt
bound lo try it, however, and was soon satisfied of
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of
his system ; and lie is now, having used four bottle*,
as well as ever.
The number of documents, suefy as the above
which have been received by Mr. Mr%nin, since the
first appearance of “Le Cordial de Lucine,” would t
fill a volume as large as the Bible.
