Radical Cure olTlermaor H ipture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved surgeo is’ Trusses.
FIN HE subscriber has opened an ffice,atthe Drug
j store of Messrs. J. J. Kober on &Co., for the
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, 1 r means of these
ustly celebrated instruments, t * has now used
them for nearly a year, and, didm I delicacy forbid,
he could name several persons wh have been radi
cally cured, of this truly distressii ; and dangerous
affection, by the use of these Truss s, besides many
others who are in a fairway of b ing entirely re
lieved. The following is the lang age of the com
mittee ol the Philadelphia Medica Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia,
“The instruments of Dr. Chasi have effected
the permanent and accurate retei ion of the in
testines in every case of Hernia r served by the
committee, without material incon enience io the
patient, and often under trials m< re severe than
are ns'dally ventured upon by those; vho wearother
trusses; trials that would be impi uient with any
other apparatus known to the comi littee.”
“ The committee are induced b’ the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in stroi ; terms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the conhdence of
the profession, as the best known means of me
chanical retention in hernia, and a furnishing the
highest chances of radical cure.”
The fol owing is from the South* t. Medical and
Southern Journal, published in rur >wn city.
“ All must admit of the radical ure of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are dc idedly the best
yet invented to effect the object.”
Persons from a distance can have le instruments
applied, upon application at the off e, and all ne
cessary information given to enable them to adjus
it themselves. The poor, who aie aboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be trea ed gratuitous

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 t ohen’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
standing, and of an obstinate nature, that it has
never been known to fail. Tite following letters
are selected from hundreds of others of a like de
scription. It will be proper that all using
he Liniment see that it is with the
signature of the propiltior 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 piofession, 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 am! popularly
known lo the entire society in New York, and
whose opinions and professional judgments are
universally esteemed.

'■MHS incomparable and invaluable remedy so

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 hen to.
This prize obtains its own name from the certain
success which has attended it through al! of its
trying circumstances, namely, “live dajs, the
sarne'success which followed it in a Northern lati
tude still obtains in a more Southern. Ihe 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 war! ike prince,
not only by actual sale of the article itself to in
dividuals, bul 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 VVabenoshe, to
\l. Cheveret,wben 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

have for my white friend M. Cheveret, (lor he has
done many good things for me and my people,) I

every day’s reports of ills and specifics. Tkis stale
ot th. public mind would seem to forbid any person
of delicate mind Irom sending forth any new dis
coveries in medicine, to the trial of thw public.
Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from
making know n real discoveries, which w'eare con
fident will benefit our fellow men. This latter
consideration has prompted the author o( 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
himself a confirmed dyspeptic, so much, that even
his recollection was gone. By using these bitters
he has been restored to health. Mrs. Cosby was
troubled for raooy years,but was restored to health
by the use ol these hitters. This has been the case
with many of his fri. nds. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addresses I hose who know

DR. E. SPOHN, a German physician of much
note, naving devotee ms attention lor some
years totnecure and removal ofthe causes of NER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD aCHE, has ihesatis
fiction 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 family 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 us- if his remedy.
It is the result of scientific research,and is entirely
of a different chat acter from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant lo the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing eornpaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter ol much astonishment,
That so ra tch suffering should have existed for ages
w ithout any discovery of an effectual prevenliv t, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regrei but Dr. S.
now' assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the mostcredulo*as. The
principles on which it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a mined 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
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th ‘sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, tlnoogh ihe
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of the ua;ural and
healthy functions ol the system. This object, Dr.
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to a tain.
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
prr fessionai reputation on this fact. Ine remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United States. „ „

fIIHE great celebrityof this unrivalled Uompo-
S sit ion, especially in the Northern Stales, leaves
the proprietor hut little need lo 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 ihe.speed and certainty of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, w hite 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 oays, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperate cases of while swelling that can be ima
gir ed have been destroyed by it in less than two
months. In the bitea 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
perva nn&,the system It is likewise greatly supe
rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the
chafed hack and limbs of horses—lor letters, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter
nal bodily evil that may fall lo the lot of man or
beast.

certificates, and other documents, in favor of his

which were written by respectable members of the

Dear Sir—My daughter, a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted vvitn thecoraf a\ni that physicians
termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, mdepe deni of
evert, oilier evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Fernn, 1 applied your ointment to the
afflicted part; and 1 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 usrd fiv dollars worth of oint
ment ; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
dunng the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known tome, as 1 have used none other
in my ratherrxiensive practice lorseveral years,and
if y„u think it wouid be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures which it has effected under my own imme
diate inspection : the last being one ot a severe
and apparently perpetual nicer,m the back of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di
vision si reel, which it completely healed in twenty
onedays. My present chief object in writing to
you, is io learn who is your authorised agent, in this
city, for,being in want of a supply of your omt
mem, and Hie person Mr. Boyle,from whom 1 used
to purchase it, having tailed and gone out of busi

may be imposed on by a counterfeit.

Sir, —I have no hesitation in stating, in 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 ray certificate by th~ word
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters where i have had no experience,
in sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
lows, piles,&c.,it is m. universal recipe. I have
also used it on the leg of a boy which had been
bitten by an adder, and i he 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

I HESE Pills are no longer among those of doubt

hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of
experiment, and now stand before the public as
in reputation, and as extensively employed in
alfparts 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 remarkatde
evidences of their goad effects. The certificates
that have been presented to the propi ictor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of live hundred ol
which are from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent judges of their merits.
Cften have the cures performed by this medicm
been the subject of editorial comment, in variou
newspapers and journals; and it may with trutn be
asserted, that no medicine of the kin 1 has ever re
ceived testimonials of greater value thin are at
tached to this. , ...
They are in general use as a family medicine
and there ai'ejthousands ol lamiiies who declare they

on hand.
They have no rival in curing and preventing

where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are
exceedingly mild in their operation, producing
neither nausea, griping no 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 lew lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of your piPs ; and 1 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 are the benefits we have receiv
ed from them in general, that 1 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 wiil 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 termitigate 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
pect ng 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 1 could mention many more
of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills
were equally successful in rescuing the patients . i
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 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. 1 am, with sen
timents of regard, your ob’t servant.
A. G. BANKS.
To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upward o of fifteen
months, I have been cruelly afflicted with Fever
and Ague; and during the tiro'*find nothing—
though 5 d iu every thing that gave me
any ruing 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
I 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 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

house of a fellow ci.izen, (Mr. Lee,) where 1 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 pocket a broken box of
your pills —four of which 1 administere i, with
such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes
my 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 be able to inform
you that your inestimable medicine is in such great
favor with the faculty here, that I bes eve there is
not one of them who does not use it in his private
practice. Yours most resp’y.

THE subscriber has the pleasure ol announcing
to the ciiizensof the U States,ihat he W,
purchased, fora very large sum and from the m

recipe ar d ri«fflr for making this astonishing rn<(| S

the complaints, which it speedily overcomes, were
beyond ihe reach ot human remedy as for upwards
.of a thousand ytars. they had baffled the wisdom
and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in
all pans ol ,l,e world. Thj. r„rdial°hiw o
the great advantage of the human race, soon proved
itse.l to he the desideratum so long sought for • and
accordingly,notwithstanding H e hriet peri dos ts

it la eagerly inquired for throughout the civilized
globe. Dr Magnin soon finding that the demand
was so vast as o render a supply impossible dis
posed of the recipe and right ol sale, under obliga

and othei countries,only preserving trance and'
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber pus
sessed himself of Ihe invaluable secret ; snd now
hastens to give the inhabitants of his lined agents
the benefits of his speculation.

dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful
ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor
to the body But the peculiar virtue on which u a
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainly with
which it restores the virile powers when they have
been destroved by disease, time, recklessness, or any
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this v oidial contains nothing of a n;ei.
curia 1 or deleterious nature, among the many ingre
dients which compose it; but is, at the same tune,
so simple, yet so i fficacious, t hat while it can reno
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an infan
may use it ,not only with impunity, but with ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortuna:e!y such,
that, notwithstanding ’.lie ben< fils which would be
sure lo result from it, w r e cannot enter into an analy
sis ol thisine timabie Cordial here, or publish many
of the documents which have been received, as
vouchers of (he blessings n lias confcmdon num
bers of despairing individuals. Hull is vve cannot
forbear remarking—(hat it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
the procreantlunciious, in either sex ; and therefore,
that tht se evils are the effects ol artificial causes,
and may he speedily subdued arid removed by the
use ol “ Le Cordial tie Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also an indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus, obstructed, d/rti
cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon
tinence ot Urine,or Ihe involuntary discharge there
of. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine in cases of Chronic Eruplionsof iheslun,
and in the dropsical aff* etions of the aged.
Most important to the American Public.
The United States proprietor of the celebrated
“ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the following certificate,

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin ; —My dear friend —J am moa
gratified all he unprecedented popularity of your
“Luc na Cordial,” and am able to near testimony to
its surprising virtue, i had a patient recently
1 M , a gentleman 01 fortune, who had tor
several years abandoned himselt in the vortex 01
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of ail his virile ener
gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity
ol debility and usteiessness, lor, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
lion was almost immediate,and the result pertect
prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrums
in such ca>es ; but, as 1 had anticipated, without
success ; and when 1 saw 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. I felt
bound lo fry it, howev r, and was soon satisfied of
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ol
his system ; and he is now, having used four bottles,
as well ts ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the
first appearance of “ Le t -ordial de Lucine,” would
fill a volume as largo as the Bible.
