RobertsDn &Co., for the treatment of Hernia or Rupture, bu means of these ustly celebrated instruments.

The following is the language of the com mittee ot the Philadelphia on the Radical Cure of Hernia. “ The instruments of Dr. Chase have effected the permanent and accurate retention of the in testines in every case of Hernia olfeerved by the committee, without material inconvenience to the patient, and often under trials m«e severe than are usually ventured upon by those who wearother trusses-, trials that would be impmdent 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 \ confidence of the profession, as the best known Jmeans of me chanical retention in hernia, and a* furnishing the highest chances of radical cure.” The following is from the Soutluin Medical and Southern Journal, published in our #wn city. “All must admit of the radical lure of hernia, and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are dc idedly the best yet invented to effect the object.” 1 Persons from a distance can have (he instruments applied, upon application at the otfi|e, and all ne cessary information given to enable [them to adjus it themselves. The poor, who are gaboring under this afflicting complaint, will be tFoe|ed gratuitous ly upon presenting a certificate, ble person, of their pecuniary disabiSty.

Cohen, proprietor of the universally celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Inila 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 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 j 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 Pffieumatic Mixtures,” all of which be ing a compound of ignorant quacks, arc 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 effectually 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. 270£ Hudson street,N, Y. New York, Aug. 3, 1838. Dear Sir —Having frequently witnessed the ap plication of your Rheumatic Embrocation,and the 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.

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, “five days,”—the 1 same success which followed it in a Northern lati . tude still obtains in a more Southern. The formula i or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue ’ and hazard by M. Cheveres, from the celebrated 1 Indian Chief Wajenothe, 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 1 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 i 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. TRANSLATION. “I, Wabenoshe, Chief of the nations Ottowaand Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which I have for my 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 ray 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 * mark.

OERHAPS there is nothing mor" calculated to disgust the public eye than the innumerable advertisements ot 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 of ills and specifics. 'Phis state of the 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 (he author of these hit ters to make them known. He know 9 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. Mr e . Cosby was troubled for many years, but was restored to hea'th by the use of these bitters. This has been the case w ith many of h,s friends. Mr. Cosby in sending forth this advertisement, addresses those who know him. Hu has been for many years a resident of Augusta at which place he can at any time be consulted about the bitters.

There are many families who have considered Sick Headache a con stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as sures them that they ore 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 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 eompaint is every day gaining is certainly a matterofmuch astonishment, That so much 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 mostcredulous. The vrincipies 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 t lie stomach—those who think they have the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th" sys tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expect s restoration of jbe natural and healthy functions ol the system. This 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. pledges his pr» fessiotmi reputation on this fact. Tire remedy may be had of apothecaries generally throughout the United States. For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 Broad-street, Augusta. mar 26 great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo- H sitinn,especially in the Northern States, leaves the proprietor but little need to say any tiling in its favor: fur it lias 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”speed and certainty of its operations, have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wouutls, corns, fever sores,chilblains, white swellings, biles, piles,spider and snake bites, &c. <fec., immediately yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, il prop erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or break and heal a bile in five clays, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer m two weeks, and the most desperate cases ot white swelling that can bo ima gired, have been destroyed by it in Jess than two months. Inihe bites of poisonous reptiles its effi cacy is truly surprising, and if applied in time, ils powers of attraction are so wonderful that they w ill at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from pervaumg the system. It is likewise greatly supe rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the chafed back and limbs of horses—for tellers, ring worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter nal bodily evil that may fall lo the lot of man or beast. The proprietor has received nt 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.

By the recommendation, however, of the Reverend Mr. Fermi, I applied your ointment to the afflicted part; ami 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 dunng the previous three years, without any benefit whatever.

New' Orleans, Match 20th, 1838 Dr. Harrison Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have j been long known to me,as 1 have used none oilier I in my rather extensive practice lor several years, and I if you think it would be to your advantage, I can furnish you vyith twenty certificates of important cures which it has effected under my own imme diate inspection: the last being one of a severe and apparently p-rpetual ulcer,in the back of a poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di vision street, which il completely healed in twenty one days. 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 vour oint ment, and the person Mr. Boyle,from whom I used to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi ness, I am fearful if 1 purchase at random, that i may be imposed on bv a counterfeit. Your obedient servant, EDWARD RAMSEY, M. D. Cincinnati, August 9,1837. Dr Harrison. Sir, —1 have no hesitation in stating, m reply to your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly equal to the majority of the ends for which you re commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by the word majority, as it is my maxim lo give no opinion in medical matters where I have had no experience. In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit lows, piles, <kc., it is mv universal recipe. I have also used it on the leg of a boy which had been bitten by an adder, and the extraction of the poison, and ultimate cure was so rapid, that my patient was as well as ever in a week ; and has remained so to this day Yours respectfully, HENRY JACOBS, M.

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 a]] parts of the United States, the Canadas, Texas Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine that 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 theirgood effects. Phe certificates that have been presented to the propiietor exceed twenty thousand! upwards of live hundred of which are from regular practising physicians, who are the most competent judges of their merits. Often have the cures performed by this medicin been the subject of editorial comment, in variou newspapers and journals; and it may with t; nth be asserted, that no medicine of the kin 1 has evei ic 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 they have a supply always on hand. They have no rival in curing and preventing Billions Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Headach Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, i Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bowels,lncipient Diarrhoea,Flatulence,Habitu i al Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotchedor Sallow Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are exceedingly mild in their operation, producing ■ neither nausea, griping nor debilitv. The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No Ca.,March 3d,1538: Dr. Peters—Dear Sir, —By requestof your agent, Mr. Harrison, 1 send you a few lines respecting the almost miraculous effects of your piPs; and I would add, that you may make use ol them, in connection with my name, in any manner you deem proper, 1 speak of their merits from experience,as 1 and my family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three years ; and so great are the benefits we have receiv ed from them fti general, that I would rather pur chase them al ten dollars a box than have rny house without them. I will not enumeraie 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 dibits 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 I were equally successful in rescuing the patients from the jaws of death. Need 1 add that the popu larity of your medicine amounts tc enthusiasm in this section of the country ? But this I presume you know from the immense quantity you dispose of, 1 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, vour ob’t servant. A. G. BANKS. To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upward" of fifteen months, I have been cruelly afflicted with Fever and Ague ; and during the time could find nothing— though 1 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 1 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 i 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 nn i 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. F. Peters —My Dear Sir —On the night of the llthinst.,l was called in great haste to the house of a fellow ci.izen, (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 rny 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 I believe there is not one of them who does not use it in his private practice.

Thus has I lie subscriber sessed himself o{ the invaluable secret; am] now hastens togivethe inhabitants of his line of agents the benefits of his speculation. “Le C ordial D« Lucine,” or, in English, »i] e Lucira Cordial,” is a general invigorator of human frame! In all the various cases of iam-uor lassitude, and debilitation ; it is ah unfailing reine’ dy ; as it is equally ils province to impart cheerin' ness and decision to the mind, as health and to the body Bui the peculiar virtue on which 'u s celebrity is based, ts the facility and certaini y with which it restores the virile powers when ihey |,. tV{ , been destroyed by disease, time, recklessness, or arir of the numerous causes which terminate in jh’e prostration of those functions. In common with the generality of really o- oCt ] medicines, thisf ordial contains nothing of a mer curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre dients which compose it; bul i.-,, al ihe same time so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can rent * vale the prostrated energies of a giant, an mfai.. may use it,not only with impunity, but with ad vantage. The usages of society are unfortunately such, that, notwithstanding '.lie benefits which would be sure to result from it, wo cannot enter into un analy sis ol this inestimable Cordial here, or publish many of the documents w hich have been received as vouchers of the blessings n has conferred on num bers of despairing individuals. But this vve cannot forbear remarking—that u has been demonstrated that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all, as natural barrenness, or as natural imhecilitv of ihe procreantfunctions,in eilhersex ; and therefore, that those 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 Fluor A Ibus, obstructed, diffi cult, or painful Menstruation; also, for the incon tinence ol 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.

From an immense number of testimonials from the regular faculty, touching the virtues of the Cordial, I 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 ficale is from a body of eight of the ablest medical practitioners in Fiance. To Dr. Magnin, inventor of ihe Lucina Cordial, or Elixir of Love Respected and Honored Sir :—We have all in a variety of cases, tested the remarkable effects of 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 infallibly remedy for the prostration of t fie Procreant l ime turns, and Artificial Barrenness : and therefoi must prove a blessing to the human race.

I think you have disco veied the “Elixir of Life,’ which the alchymists have been so lung in quest ol; am; that (pardon my officious ness,; you should have named it accordingly. From (be eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels October 3, 1837. To Dr. Magnin: —My dear friend —l am mos gratified at the unprecedented popularity ol your “Luc na Cordial,” and am able to hear lestimony to its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently 1 .VI , a gentleman of fortune, who had for several years abandoned himself in the vortex ot dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener 6*?®- "as,indeed, reduced to the last exirotniiv ot debility and tasteiessness, for, if an occasional flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac tion was almost.immediate, and the result perfect prostration. I had applied ail the usual nostrums in such cases; hut, as i had anticipated, without success ; and when 1 saw the “ Lc.cuia Cordial” advertised, I must confess that even the great weight of your name did not give me much hope in i',° at least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1 fell bound lo try it,however,and was soon satisfied of its efficacy; iur before a bottle was expended, my patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity el his system ; and lie is now, having used four bottle*, as wellts ever. The number of documents, such as the above which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the first appearance of « Le Cordial de Lucine.” would fill a volume as large as the Bible.
