Radical Cure of'Herniaor RiEpture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeoils’ Trusses.
riIHE subscriber has opened an c|Sce,atthe Drug
1 store of Messrs. J. J. Robert;|n &Co., forthe
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, bl means of these
ustly celebrated instruments. Hts has now used
them for nearly a year, and, didnoifdelicacy forbid,
he could name several persons whojiave been radi
cally cured, of this truly distressing and dangerous
affection, by the use of these Trusses, besides many
others who are in a fairway of being entirely re
lieved. The following is the language of the com
mittee of the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia. |
“ The instruments of Dr. Chasei 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 mire severe than
are usually ventured upon oy thoselwho wear other
trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any
other apparatus known to the com|iittee.”
“ The committee are induced b| the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in stroi g terms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the confidence of
the profession, as the best known means of me
chanical retention in hernia, and :is furnishing the
highest chances of radical cure.”
The following is from the South rn Medical and
Southern Journal, published in our own city.
“ All must admit of the radical 1 cure of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best
yet in vented to effect the object.”
Persons from a distance can have he instruments
applied, upon application at the offi :e, and all ne
cessary information given to enable them to adjus
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be tie: ted gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate,from some responsi*
ble person, of their pecuniary disabi ity.
The instruments are of all sizes, md applicable
to every variety of reducible ruptur .

DR. MILES’ COMPOUND E [TRACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and
does not belong to the family of quick medicines;
for the reason that the component arts are made
known to the faculty, or any one rise that may
wish to know, by any of the agenti keeping them
for sale. Since this discovery so {long and anx
iously looked for, some one in almo|t the extreme
North has advertised a Tomato Pill] purporting to
be made from the stalk, a thing nc|l more aosuiu
than for one to offer meal from the scorn stalk, to
say nothing of the difficulty of raisiijg the Tomato
ao far North. }
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the
Tomato Pills (proper) for the gre t benefits of
which, he holds himself bound, and i 1 honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they aite all that they
profess to be, and will do for othi is what they
have done for such as mav have 1 <ed them • as
this is a vegetable of great use, am value, it will
doubtless be valuable information 0 families to
know that the Yellow are just dout y as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces t vice as much
of the hapatine, or active principle,: nd when used
as a daily vegetable will be foum to keep the
system in much better condition 1 aan the other
kind; many will recollect with v hat trembling
anxiety calomel has been given tc children, and
how they then wished for a subsi ,tute. It has
long been known that the Tomatc contained ca
thartic principles, but not until o late was it
aicertained that they contained alte ative and diu
retic properties. The Faculty eml r e and use
the preparation most cheerfully, for he reason that
they know what it is Were it ap: tent mystery,
they would be bound to reject the me licine, as they
justly do the one thousand and one c :re-alls of the
day. If you wish to cleanse the s stem with a

RHEUMATISM.

Dr. M. B. Cohen, proprietor of the universally
; celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla
-1 matory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and
i Swellings in the Joints, &c., known as Cohen’s
I Rheumatic Embrocation, begs respectfully to refer
1 all persons suffering from these disea es to the
thousands of cures that his preparation has accom
j plished, and to the numerous strange and highly
j, 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 Jong
: 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.
I Since the introduction of this remedy to the public,
i various empirics have been palmed upon the coun
! try, Nostrums and Lotions, and Liniments, and
i “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 cfpinions and professional judgments are
universally esteemed.

New York, Aug. 3, 1838.
Dear Sir —Having frequently witnessed the ap
plication of your Rheumatic Embrocation, and ti e
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.

New York, April 20, 1839.
I certify that I have used Dr. M. B. Cohen’s

ANTi-BALSAMJ C GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days .
'l' HIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
" 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, “five 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
1 he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
t siness in the North-west with the Indians. —
Wabenoshe prized highly and use it with invariable
| success throughout his two tribes. Its known and
f 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
r Great Spirit, never to divulge the “art of its «tom
, 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
f be anglisized of the deed given by Wabenoshe, to
M. Chevcret, when he purchased rhe original recipe,
and had twice assisted the Chief himself through
the tedious maniputatory 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 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.”

PERHAPS there is nothing .no” c° •cvlaled to
disgust the public eye than the innumerable
advertisements of nostrums that are constantly ap

every day’s reports of ills and specifics. 'Phis stale
of the public mind would seem to forbid any person
of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis

Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent ns from
making know n real discoveries, w hich we are con

’ consideraiion has prompted the authorof these bit

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
1 he has been restored to health. Mrs. Cosby was
5 troubled for many years, but was restored to health
! by the use of these bitters. This has been the case
7 with many of his fri< nds. Mr. Cosby in sending
1 forth this advertisement, addresses those who know
7 him. He has been for many years a resident of
i Augusta, at which place he can at any time be
3 consulted about the bitters. They are good in all
cases of diseases of the digestive organs, the symp
toms of which are indigestion, pain or oppression
in the stomach from food, lossol appetite, flatulen

Dlt. E. SPCHN, a German payMCian of much
note, naving deVotea ms attention for some
years to tne cure ana removal of me cs uses of IS ER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis
faction 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 iney 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 chaiaeler 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 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 truly a subject of much regret hut Dr. S.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. The
jbrineijides on w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a milled fact that this complaint, w hether 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 Q sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
roust they expects restoration of jhe natural and
healthy functions of the system. This object, Dr.
Spobn’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
professional reputation on this fart. The remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.

fIIHE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo
-1 sition,especially in the Northern States, leaves
the proprietor but 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 rx
| 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, while swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, &c. 4cc., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, it prop
erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or
break and heal a bile in five allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperate casesol white swelling that can be ima
gir ed have been destroyed by it in less than two
months. In the biles 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
pervading the system. It is likewise greatly supe
rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the
chafed back and limbs of horses—for tellers, jjng
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 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.

Dear Sir—>ly daughter, a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn thecomp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and i feared, independent of ;
every other evil, that she would be bald in conse- |
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the j
Reverend Mr. Perrin, I applied your ointment to the |
afflicted part; and 1 thank God that rny child is
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is ,
gelling her hair as fast as can be expected. The 1
cure was effected in rather less than two months ; I
during which lime I used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; 1 had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
dating the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

Sir—The virtues of yonr Specific Ointment, have j
been long known to me, as 1 have used none other
in my rather extensive practice for several years, and
if you think it would be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures w hich it, has effected under my own imme
diate inspection : the last being one of a severe
and apparently perpetual ulcer, in the back of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di
vision street, which it 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 your oint
ment, and the person Mr. Boyle,from whom 1 used
to purchase it, having tailed and gone out of busi

may be imposed on by a counterfeit.

r | ' HESE Pills are no longer among those of doubt-
JL ful utility. 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
alf 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
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 truth be
asserted, that no medicine of the kiul has ever re
ceived testimonials of greater value th in are at
tached to this.
They are in general use as a family medicine
and there ai’ejlhousands of families who declare they
re never satisfied until they_have a supply always
on hand.
They have no rival in curing and preventing
Billious Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma,
Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen,
Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn,
Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach
and Bowels, IncipientDiarrhcea,Flatulence,Ha'>itu
al Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or 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, 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 pil'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 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. 1 will not enumerate the afflictions
they have relieved us of; but 1 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. I have a sister who had been for a long pe
riod severely afflicted with dropsy in the chest and
w T as brought by it to the very verge of the grave.
She w r as 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 effels that three doses visibly re
lieved her, and in less than three months she was
perfectly restored to health. This case, 1 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 maiy 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
lof I may mention,however,that notwithstanding
I its general use, I never heard an individual complain
!of its effects. My residence is 12 miles from Bal
; 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 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 phj sicians, 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 I feel it my duty to apprise you
I of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
certificate, as 1 am anxious to add my public testi
j 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' cidzen, (Mr. Lee,) where!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 I administere 1, 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 I have the pleasure to be able to inform
you that j our inestimable medicine is in such great
j favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is
1 not one of them who does not use it in his private
I practice. Yours most resp’y.

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo

pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi

j of the quantity taken, and are decidedly supeiior
to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.
Extract from a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor,

lious fever.
Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams of

was one of the best chemists in the United Stales,
and felt assured thatpe would some day (from his
intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs

“Le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English «.
Lucira Cordial,” is a general invigorator of t u
human frame ! In all the various cases of lanenor
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing
dy ; as it i« equally its province to impart cheerfu'
ness and decision to the mind, as health and \i» 0 '
to the body But the peculiar virtue on which it!
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty wui
which it restores the virile powers when they have
been destroved by d isease, time, recklessness .or an?
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this C ordial contains nothing of a ire.,
enrial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre
diems which compose it ; but is, at the same time
so simple, yet so t fficacious, that 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 unfortunately such,
that, notwithstanding the benefits which would be
sure to result from it, we cannot enter into an analy
sis of this ine.-timable Cordml here, or publish mari?
of the documents w hich have been received, as
vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num
bers of despairingmdividuals. But this wc cannot
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility oi

that those evils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued and removed by me

The Lucina Cordial is also an indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and ihe Fluor Albus, obstructed,di;S
cult, or painful Menstruation; also, for the incon
tinence of Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
of It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of theskin,

its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently.
1 M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had lot
several years abandoned himself in the vortex o’
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it 81
length by the utter prostration of all his virileener*
gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity
of debility ami lastele&sness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
lion was almost immediate,ami the result perter 1
prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrum’
in such cases; bur, as 1 had anticipated, wiflw®
success ; and v/hen 1 saw the “ Lucina Cordial
advertised, i must confess that even the great weign
of your name did not give me much hope in n- *
least so far as regarded the case in hand, j te ,
bound to try F,however,and was soon satls “ ed
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, m
