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 j are selected from hundreds of others of a like de | scription. It will be proper that all persons using j he Liniment, see that it is accompanied with the 1 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- I try, Nostrums and Lotions and Liniments, and I “Infallible Rheumatic Mixtures,” all of which be ing a compound of ignorant quacks, are calculated, j more or less, to injure the system rather than re i move any complaint. In proof of the estimation I in which the Embrocation is held by respectable j men in tbe medical profession, as well as by' the thousands of persons who have been effectua ly j cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined letters from a few who are well and popularly 1 known to the entire society' in New York, and j whose opinions and professional judgments are I universally esteemed.

CINQ JOURS, OR ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHCEAL SOLUTION, Warranted to cure in Five Days. rjnHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so JL 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 1 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 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 j 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 “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 >l. 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 tilings 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.” Signed WABINOSHE,his X mark.

Its first and prominent virtue is to subdue every vestige of inflamation, and then acts mildly and copiously as a diuretic ; therebj holding within itself, every requisite virtue, for the subduclion of this loathsome malady —and ev ery regular graduate in medicine, will sustain the assertion, that copious diuresis and reduction of in flation, are the only two things necessary to effect a sound and radical cure The most peculiar virtue of the “Cinq Jours,” is in this, that wherever it alone has been used to affect a cure, none of those tenacious and disagree able consequences which almost invariably results from the sudden Cure of Gonorrhoea, have been known to obtain such as stricture, hernia, liumoi alis, incontinence, and a swarm of other of the most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis eases, consequent upon erroneous diagnosis and treatment of Gonorrhoea.

There are many families who have considered Sick Headache a con stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as sures them that ’.hey are mistaken, and labouring under distress which tuey 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 chaiacter 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 matter of much astonishment, That so m ich suffering should have existed forages without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or cure, is truly a subject of much regrer but Dr. S. now assures the public that such a remedy has been invented as will convince the most credulous. The principles o%tvhifth it acts are simple and plain. It is an a milted 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” sys tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough ihe stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expects restoration of the natural and healthy functions of the system. This object. Dr. Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to aitain. j The truth of this position cannot be controverted, j and the sooner sufferers wiili ihe headache become convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his prrfessionai reputation on this fact, Tne remedy may be had of apothecaries generally throughout the.

Indeed and certainty of its operations, have l be appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wotiuds, corns, fever sores,chilblains, w hile swellings, biles, piles, spider and snake bites, &c. <fec., 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 days, will allay and perfecily cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most | desperale cases of white swelling that can be ima- i gii ed. have been destroyed by it in less than two i 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 they will al once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from pervading the system. It is likewise greatly supe- j rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the i | chafed back and limbs of horses —for tetters, ring 1 i worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every I rial bodily evil that may fall io the lot of man or beast.

They have passed away from the hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of ( experiment, and now stand before the public as hiah 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 i 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 ol which are from regular practising physicians, who are the most competent judges of their meiits. Often have the cures performed by this medicm been the subject of editorial comment, in variou newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be asserted, that no medicine of the kin 1 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 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 Biliious Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma, : Drops}', Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, I Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, j Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bowels, IncipientDiarrhoea,Flalulence,Habitu 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 requestof your agent, Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the almost miraculous effects of your piPs; andl 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 l and my family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three years ; and so great ai*e the benefits we have receiv ed from them in general, that I 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 will 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 i 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 i suffering part}',) considered to be the next thing to j i miraculous; and yet 1 could mention many more |of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills j i were equally successful in rescuing the patients i j from the jaws of death. Need 1 add that the popu larity of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in i this section of the country ? But this 1 presume j you know from the immense quantity you dispose of I may mention, however, that notwithstanding i its general use, I never heard an Individual complain I of its ellects. My residence is 12 miles from Bat i eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am,withsen j timents of regard, your ob’t servant. A. G. BANKS. To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upward s of fifteen i months, I have been cruelly afflicted with Fever j 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 ph} sicians, and I am most grateful and happy in being able to add, that I had scarcely used two boxes when 1 found that they had restored me j to perfect health. Since tiien, various members of 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 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, 1839. Communication received from the eminent Dr. J. H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia: Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear Sir—On the night of the llthinst., I was called in great haste to the house of a fellow ciazen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found Ins 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 1 administered, 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 believe there is not one of them who does not use it in his private practice.
