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, fab 20 F. M. ROBERTSON, M. D. TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF FAMILIES* 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 which, he holds himself bound, phi in honor pledg ed to prove by their use, that thjrj! are all that they 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 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 or ,e cure-alls of the day. if you wish to cleanse the with a mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato Pill, of which a supply, we lean,;will soon be in this city.

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.

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. M. B. COHEN, No. 275£ Hudson street, N. Y. New York, Aug. 3, 1338. 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. WILLIAM F PIATT, M. D. Late Corresponding Secretary of the Medical Soci ety of the City and county of New York. To Dr. M. B. Cohen. Dr. M. B.

CHAS. A. VAN ZANDT, M. D. New York, April 20, 1839. I certify that I have used Dr. M, B. Cohen’s Rheumatic Embrocation, and have found it a most useful adguvant in the treatment of this painful disease, and therefore hesitate not to recommend it in all cases of Rheumatism. WILLIAM ANDERSON, M. D., &c., No. 342. Broadway, N. Y. I, Henry B. Nones, Ist Lieut, of the Revenue Cutter Alert, in the service of the United States, do certify that I was for five months afflicted with the Inflamatory Rheumatism,and had every reme dy by advice of physicians, without any relief, and finally by advice of Dr. W. Rockwell, health offi cer at quarantine, I applied to Dr. M. B. Cohen, in the month of July, 183, for a bottle of his Rheu matic Embrocation, and after one week’s use of the specific, was entirely free from all pain, and was able to resume my place in the service.

PERHAPS mere is nothing raore c°k:"lated to disgust the public eye than the innumerable advertisements of nostrums that are constantly ap ■ peering in the public prints. All are ready to ex w claim, oar souls are sick, our ears are pained with every day’s reports of ills and specifics. Tkis state at the public mind would seem to forbid any person 1 of delicate mind from sending forth any nevy dts* .’ 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 c jn “ 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 efficacious, for he himself, his wife, and many friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was i- himself a confirmed dyspeptic, so much, that seven t his recollection was gone. By using these bitters r he has been restored to health. Mrc. Cosby was 1 troubled for many years, but was restored to health ’’ hy ihe use of these bitters. This has been the case o w ith manv of his friends. Mr. Cosby in sending forth this advertisement, addresses tho*e who know » him. He has been for many years a resident ol '' Augusta at which place he can at any lime ba * consulted about ihe bitters. They are good in all cases of diseases of the digestive organs, the symp / toms of w hich are indigestion, pain or oppression I in ihe stomach from food, loss ot appetite, flatulen- cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the . side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak i ness, disturbed sleep, &c The composition is en ’ iirely Boianical, an<i has proved efficacious "hen many celebrated medicines had failed. In support of which he refers them to Freeman VV. Lacy, she riff of Richmond count' - , and William T. Thomp son, editor of the Augusta Mirror, and he might re e 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 with the dys pepsia to give it a trial. They can be had at T. H.

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.

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 r 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.

There are many families who have considered feick Headache a con stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. fe. as sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring under distress which tney 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 chatacter from advertised patent medi 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 “'For n l'l S by e ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 Broad-street, Augusta. mar _ 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.

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. Augusta, Ga., Feb 10, 1 S3f>. 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.
