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 j Rheumatic Embrocation, begs respectfully to refer I 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. 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 •ignature 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- I 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, 1838. Dear Sir —Having frequently witnessed the ap plication of vour Rheumatic Embrocation,and Ue beneficial effects arising therefiom, 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 foim. 0 WILLIAM F PIATT, M.

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 day's,”—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' >l. Cheveres, from the celebrated Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu i 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 “ait 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, 1 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 31. Chcveret, wiren 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 Ottowa and 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 w'hich my 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 i*i mark.

The extraerdmary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s remedy lor Ibis distressing compaint is every day gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment, That so ra ich suffering should have existed for ages without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or cure.is iruly a subject of much regrei but Dr. S. now assures the public that such a remedy has been invented as will convince the most credulous. 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, thiough the stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expect s restoration of ihe natural and healihy functions of the system.

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 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 their good effects. The certificates ' that have been presented to the propiietor exceed twenty thousand! upwards of five hundred of 1 which are from regular practising physicians, who are the most competent judges ot 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 truth be asserted, that no medicine of the kinl has ever re- I ceived testimonials of greater value th in are at tached to this. , They are in general use as a family medicine j and there are f 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 .

The following w r as forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a highly respectable Planter of Wake Comity, 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 pi '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 ai*e the benefits we have receiv i ed from them in general, that I would rather pnr i chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house t 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 asirn . pie purifier of the system, and therefore equally i the enemy of every disease. 1 will mention one case. 1 have a sister who had been for a long pe riod se* erely afflicted with dropsy in the chest and j was brought by it to the very verge of the gra\ e. 1 -She was attended by the most eminent physicians 1 that money could procure; but all their efforts to restore her to health, or even to mitigate hersuffer ' ings were fruitless ; and accordingly,w 7 e all consid ered her immediate death as inevitable. By good j fortune, however, as she was in this situation, ex pect ng every day to be her last, your pills w r ere 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, 1 and all r who were witness of it, (but more especially the suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to j miraculous; and yet 1 could mention many more j of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills { were equally successful in rescuing the patients j from the jaws of death. Need 1 add that the popu larity of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in this section of the country P 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 12miles from bat ’ eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen timents of regard, j our ob’t servant. I A. G. BANKS. To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upward 0, of fifteen 1 months, 1 have been cruelly afflicted with Fever and Ague; and during the time could lind nothing — though had applied to every thing that gave me any thing like permanent relief. At length, how -3 ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one 3 of our best physicians, and lam most grateful and 1 happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used -two boxes when I found that they had restored me 1 to perfect health. Since then, various members of } m3’ famil3' have used them with equal success — * and consequently 1 feel it my duty 7 to apprise 3ou 1 of the fact, and to request of you to pub.ish this ? certificate, as lam anxious to add m3 7 public testi > 01003- to the almost miraculous virtues of 3 7 our un ‘ rivalled medicine.

By the greatest good for tune, however, 1 had in my pocket a broken box of 3’our pills—four of which I administere 1, with such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes my patient was at ease, and out of danger.

In all the various cases of languor lass.tude, and debilitation ; it is an unlading reme dy ; as it is equally its province to impart ciieerfui ness and decision to the mind, ns health and vigor to the body But the peculiar virtue on which its celebrity is based, is the lacihty and certainty with which it restores the virile powers w hen they have been destroved by disease, time, recklessness,oraur of the numerous causes which terminate in the prostration of those funciions. In common with the generality of really good medicines, thisv oidial contains nothing of a ,<ier. curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre dients which compose it ; bulis, at the same time, so simple, > 7 et so efficacious, that while it can rent, vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an tnfan may use it,notonly with impunity, but with ad vantage.

Bin to is wc cannot forbear remarking— l hat 11 has been demonstrated that there is scarcely ever, il any such thing at all, as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility ol the procreantl unci ions, in either sex ; and therefore, that those evils are the effects of artificial causes, and may be speedily subdued end removed by tne use ol 44 Le Cordial dejLucine.” The Lucina Cordial is also tn indubitable cure for theGleet.and ihe Fluor A Ibus, obstructed, dtffi. cult, or paintul Menstruation ; also, for the incon tinence ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there of.
