M. ROBERTS! N, M. D. TO THE FACULTY AND 111 ADS OF FAMILIES. DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXT IACT OF TOMATO —a substitute for C; iomel, and does not belong to the family of quad medicines; for the reason that the component par ? are made known to the faculty, or any one el.- that may wish to know, by any of the agents k< >ping them for sale. Since this discovery so lo! g and anx iously looked for, some one in almost t e extreme North has advertised a Tomato Pill, p rportingto be made from the stalk, a thing not r ore aosuru than for one to offer meal from the co 1 stalk, to cay nothing of the difficulty of raising le Tomato so far North. Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the propi etor of the Tomato Pills (proper) for the great enefits of which, he holds himself bound, and in h nor pledg ed to prove by their use, that they are : 1 that they profess to be, and will do for others what they have done for such as mav ha ,? e uset them *as vhis is a vegetable of great use, and v» ue, it will doubtless be valuable information to amilies to know that the Yellow are just doubly s valuable as the Red Tomato, and produces twi ?as much of the hapatine, or active principle, and when used as a daily vegetable will be found t. keep the system in much better condition tha the other kind ; many will recollect with wh; tie ibling anxiety calomel has been given to c ildren, and how they then wished for a substiti e. It has long been known that the Tomato ci Rained ca thartic principles, but not until of te was it ascertained that they contained alterat ve and diu retic properties. The Faculty embra e and use the preparation most cheerfully, for th< reason that they know what it is Were it a pate t mystery, they would be bound to reject the medi< ne, as they justly do the one thousand and one cur -ails of the day.

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 1 standing, and of an obstinate nature, that it has ( never been known to fail. The following letters 1 are selected from hundreds of others of a like de- 1 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 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 opinions and professional judgments are universally esteemed. M. B. COHEN, No. 275£ Hudson street, N. Y. New York, Aug, 3, 1838.

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 Wabekothe, or Great Moon, whilst he, w r ith 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 a'most incredible extent the children of this warlike piince, 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 w r ith, 1 may say, religious conlidence 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 whicli 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 man}' 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.” Signed WABINOSHE,his X mark.

SPOHN, a German nnyania:. of much note, navmg devotee ms attention lor some years to tne cure and removal of tns cs uses of N ER VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has thesaiis faclion 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 Bick 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 use >f 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 compaint is every day gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment, That so m ich 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 assorts 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 milled fact that this complaint, whether called Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache,’ arises prim arily from the stomach—those who I hink they have the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th a sys tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expects restoration of ihc 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 professional reputation on this fact. The remedy may lie had of apothecaries generally throughout the United Stales. For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 Broad-street, Augusta. mar 26 PXNHE great celebrityof this unrivalled Compo- J_ silion,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 ex ternal complaints that has ever been discovered. Indeed and certainty of its operations, have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds, corns,fever sores,chilblains, white swellings, biles, piles, spider and snake bites, <fec. &c., 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, w ill allay and perfectly cure an ulcer m two weeks, and the .most desperate cases ol \v lute swelling that can be ima gined, have been destroyed by it in less than two months. In the bites of poisonous reptiles its effi cacy is truly surprising, and if applied in lime, its powers of attraction are so wonderful that th;y will at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from perva nng the systt-ra. Ii is likewise greatly supe rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the chafed back and limbs of horses—lor totters, ring 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 at least a thousand certificates, and other documents, in favor of his “ Specific Ointm nt,” upwards of a hundred of which were w ritten by respectable members of the Medical Faculty.

Y’our obedient servant, EDWARD RAMSEY, M. D. Cincinnati, August 9,1837. Dr. Harrison.

I qualify my certificate by the word majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in medical matters where 1 have bad no experience. In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit lows, piles,&c.,it is mv universal recipe. I have also used it on the leg of a boy w hich 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 all parts of the United States, the Canadas, Texas Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine that has ever been prepared lor 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 1 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 tills medicia been the subject of editorial comment, in variou newspapers and journals; and it may w’ilh truth 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 aie,lhousands 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 1 and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,Flatulence,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 request of your agent, Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the almost miraculous effects of your pil's; 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 a tc 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 alllictions 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 w r as brought by it to the very verge of the grate. She was 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 | pect ngevery day to be her last, your pills were j 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 ail I 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 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 Irom 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 12 miles from Ral eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I 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 I of our best physicians, and I am most grateful and happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used j 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 I feel it my duty to apprise you of the fact, and to request of you to publish this certificate, as 1 am anxious to add ray 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.,l was called in great haste to the house of a fellow ci.izen, (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 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. Yours most resp’y. March 13, 1839. J. 11. IRWIN, M. D. Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo gart, of Providence, R. 1., Dec. 17, 1838. —Peters’ pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi cine, those effects being produced by the differences of the quantily taken, and are decidedly superior j to Lee’s, Brandrcth’s or Morrison’s Pills.

Dr. Magnin soon finding that the demand was so vast as w render a supply impossible j, posed of the recipe and right ol sale, undero’blw'* lions of secrecy, for England, the United Stan and other countries, only preserving France arid Italy for himself, Thus has the subscriber n cs sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and ric\' hastens to give the inhabitants of his lineolVeiiK the benefits of hts speculation. 3 ‘ M “Le Cordial !)e Lucine,” or, in English “ (n Lucira Cordial,” is a general invigorator of the human frame ! In all the various cases of languor lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing remt’ dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful ness and decision to the mind, as health and vi mr to the body But the peculiar virtue on which °ji 8 celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with which it restores the virile powers when they have betri destroyed by disease,time,recklessness,oranv of the numerous causes which terminate in th e prostration of iliose functions. In common with the generality of really good medicines, this! ordial contains nothing of a me,, cnrial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre dients which compose it ; but is, at the same time so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can rem.’ vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an inlati 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-tiraable Cordial here, or publish many of the documents which have been received, as vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num bers of despairing individuals. Cut this vve cannot forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated that there is scarcely ever, it any such thing at all, as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of the procreant functions,in eithersex ; 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 sn indubitable cure for the Gleet, and the Fluor A lons, obstructed, dtHi 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.

My reasons for so doing is, that the demands to me forthe above Cordial, of which I am the inventor, are so nume rous, l hat 1 am unable to supply all the orders from France and Italy alone; and have therefore dispo sed of the privileges vouchsafed in this, and oilier certificates of a like nature in order to generalise the benefits ot my discovery throughout the world.

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels October 3, 1837. To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—i am mos gratified at the unprecedented popularity ot your “Lucina Cordial,” and am able to hear testimony to its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently, 1 M , a gentleman ot fortune, who had lor several years abandoned himself in the vortex ot dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at length by the utter prostration of all his virileener g.es. Ile was, indeed, reduced to the last sxire/ndy of debility and t istelessness, for, if an occasional flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac tion was almost immt dime, and the result perteot prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrums in such cases ; but, as I had anticipated, without success ; and when 1 saw the “ Lucina Cordial ’ advertised, I must confess thaf even the great weight ot your name did not give me much hope in it, a £ least so far as regarded the case in Hand. I fell bound to try it, however,and was soon satisfied of its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, m? patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ol his system ; and be is now, having used four bcUkb as well ts ever.
