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.

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.

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. M. B. COHEN, No. 27Hudson street, N. Y. New York, Aug. 3, IS3B. Dear Sir —Having frequently witnessed the ap plication of your Rheumatic Embrocation,and the beneficial effects arising therefrom, it affords me pleasure to stale 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.

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.

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.

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.” Signed WABINOSHE,his X mark.

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. For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 Broad-street, Augusta. mar 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. Albany, July 9lh, 1837. To Dr. Harrison.

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.

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 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 ceived testimonials of greater value thin are at tached to this. They are in general use as a family medicine and there are.thousands of families who declare they re never satisfied until theyTiave a supply alv\ ay s on hand. They have no rival in curing and preventing Billions Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Livei 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, Incipient Diarrhoea,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 Tney 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 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. 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 (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.

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. Extract from a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor, Me , Jan. 9, 1839. They are a peculiarly mild, yet efficient purgative medicine, and produce little, if any, griping or nausea. I have prescribed them with much success in sick headache and slight bil lions fever. ' Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams of Burlington, Vt., July 9, 1837.—1 cordially recom mend Peters’ Pills as a mildly effective, and in no case dangerous, family medicine.

Extract of a letter from Dr. Dye of Quebec L. C., March 6, 1837.—F0r bilious fevers, sick head ache, torpidity of the bowels, and enlargement of the spleen, Peter’s Pills are an excellent medicine.

I 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 herbs and drugs) produce an efficient medicine, and I must acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully respond to my expectations.

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.

Gaspa-d Delluc, > William Merrit!,) Wltneßses - Postscript to the above. As you requested me to state the number of bot ties ol the “ Lucina Cordial,” which I have already sold, I have referred to my books, and find it to ex ceed four bundled thousand ; while the orders now on hand cannot be supplied in less than three months. From ah immense number of testimonials from the regular faculty, touching the vinues of the 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.

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.
