Radical Cure ol Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Silicons’ Trusses.
THE subscriber has opened an 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, d|d not delicacy forbid,
he could name several who have been radi
cally cured , of this truly distressing and dangerous
affection, by the use of these T russes, 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 Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia.
“ The instruments of Dr. C base have effected
the permanent and accurate retention of the in
testines in every case of Hernia observed by the
committee, without material inconvenience to the
patient, and often under trials more severe than
are usually ventured upon by -those who wear other
trusses; trials that would be ’mprudent with any
other apparatus known to the committee.”
“ The committee are induced by the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in strong terms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the confidiujce of
the profession, as the best known me
chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the
highest chances of radical cure.;
The following is from the Southern Medical and
Southern Journal, published in dur own city.
“ All must admit of the radical cure of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best
yet invented to effect the object. 1
Persons from a distance can have the instruments
applied, upon application at tM office, and all ne
cessary information given to enable them to adjus
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate .from some responsi*
ble person,of their pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture,

Dll. MILES’ COMPOUND. EXTRACT OF
TOMATO—a substitute ;ibr Calomel, and
does not belong to the family of quack medicines;
for the reason that the component parts are made
known to the faculty, or any cue 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 Till, purporting to
be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosum
than for one to offer meal from the com stalk, to
say nothing of the difficulty of j awing the Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cinciifuati, is the proprietor of the
Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of

profess to be, and will do for oiheis what they
have done for such as mav ha ve rued them • a*s
this is a vegetable of great use, ; apd value, it will
doubtless be valuable information to families to
know that the Yellow are just doubly as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produce# 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 jo children, and
how they then wished for a sdlfstitute. It has
long been known that the Tori if to contained ca
thartic principles, but not unti;|of late was it
ascertained that they contained al terative and diu

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 or ,e cure-alls of the

A CERTAIN CURE FOR THE
Itch!!
article ever introduced to public notice has been
to answer a better purpose, or been more highly ap
proved, than the justly celebrated
Dumfries’ Itch Ointment.
SO great and extended has become its reputation, that
dealers are ordering it from ail parts of the country,
as a remedy which gives their customers the highest
satisfaction.
A Student I—connected with one of our Liter
ary Institutions, where this loathsome disease had ap
peared, observes, that Dumfries' Itch Ointment extermi
nated it, after various other applications had failed to do
so, and it had in consequence gained a reputation in that
Seminary, and vicinity, as the best remedy known for the
Itch I , ..
*** This preparation, for pleasantness, safety, expedi
tion. ease and certainty, Is unsurpassed, if equalled. It
does not contain the least particle of mercury, or other
dangerous ingredient, and may be applied with perfect
safety by pregnant females, or to children at the breast,
and it cures, however inveterate, in
83rO ne Hour’s Application only!—And no
danger from taking cold.
It is also one of the best applications for a humor, in
form of a ring-worm , known by the name of the Barbers’
Iren, and is excellent for Pimples, and diseases of Uu
skin generally.
Price 25 cents a box, with ample directions.
Caution ! Be particular to observe that the only

RHEUMATISM.
COHEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.—
Dr. M. B. 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 disea-es to the
thousands of cures that his preparation has accom
i plished, and to the numerous strange and highly
! respectable testimonials which have, from time to
I 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 followingletters
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 tie

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.

Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from

“ fident will benefit our fellow men. This latter
‘ consideration has prompted the author of these hit

friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was
i- himself a confirmed dyspeptic, so much, that seven

incomparable and invaluable remedy so
-I 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 all of its
trying circumstances, namely, “live 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. 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 manipulatory process of manufacture.
Few white men would credit the length of time
which is consumed in preparing the article for im
mediate use.

cines, arid is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS. ,
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. bpohn s
remedy for this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter ot much astonishment,
That so much suffering should have existed for ages
without anv discovery of an effectual prevenl ty i, or
„„re is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. «•
llo vv assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. Ihe
principles on which it acts are simple ami plain. Bis
an a mined fact that this complaint, whet her called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headaclie, arises prim
arily from the stomach—those who think they have
he Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is the first caueo, that th* sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, through the
Itomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expect s restoration of the natural and
healthy functions of the system. 1 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
professiouai reputation on this fact. 1 remedy
may he hail of apothecaries generally throughout

THE great celebrityof this unrivalled Compo
sition,especially in the Northern States, leaves
the proprietor hut little need to say any thing in its
favor: for it has been generally conceded to it, that
it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed the>peed and certainty of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, while swellings, biles,
piles, spider ami snake bites, <fec. &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 casesof white swelling that can ho ima- j
gired. have been destroyed by it in Jess 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 lhey will
at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from
pervading the system. It is likewise greatly supe
rior lo 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 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.

Reverend Mr. Pernn, I applied your ointment to the '
afflicted part; and 1 thank God that my child is j
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is
getting her hair as fast as can lie expected. The i

during which time I used fiv dollars worth of oint

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 requestof 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, 1
speak of their merits from experience,as 1 and ruy
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 1 would rather pur
chase them at ten dollars abox than have my house
without them. 1 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. 1 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 ail
who were witness of it, (but more especially the
suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to
miraculous; and yet 1 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 Dal
eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen
timents of regard, vour ob’t servant.
A. G. BANKS.
To Dr, Peters, —Sir —For upward* of fifteen
months, 1 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 consequently 1 feel it my duty to apprise you
of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
certificate, as I am anxious to add my public testi
mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,
THEODORE JAMES.

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 ciazen, (Mr. Lee,) tv here 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, 1 had in my pockst a broken box of
your pills —four of which 1 administere J, with
such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes
my patient was at ease, and out of danger. This
i case, in connection with my name is at your ser
vice—and 1 have the pleasure to be 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
practice. Yours most resp’y.

N. Y., June 3, 1836. —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

to my expectations. They are indeed a superior
medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist
