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 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
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.
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 1}
cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoinec
letters from a few w-ho are well and popularly
known to the entire society in New York, and
whose opinions and professional judgments an
universally esteemed.

anti-balsamic gonorrikeal solution.
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
fpHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
X long known, and used with such unpanallcled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 ycais, 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
' 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 exlentthe 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
wdth, I may say, religious confidence on its cura
ble powers.
Below is a copy of the translation as near as it can
7 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
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.”

sures them that they are mistaken, ai-d labouring
under distress w’hich tnoy 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 chaiacler from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’a
remedy for this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That so m tch 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 assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the mostcredulous. The
principles on which it acts are simpleand 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 lh“ sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, through the
stomach, and that only t hrough the same channel
must they expects restoration of the natural and
healthy functions ol the system. This object. Dr.
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to ailain.
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 fact. Tne remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout

TIN HE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo
j 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 ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed the’speed 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, &c. &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, wilt allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer m two weeks, and the most
desperate cases of white swelling that can he 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 time, its
powers of attraction are so wonderful that they will
at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from
perva ling the system. It is likewise greatly supe
rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the
chafed back and limbs of horses—for tetters, 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 Ointmnt,” upwards of a hundred of
which were written by respectable members of the
Medical Faculty.

Dear Sir—My daughter, a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn thecornp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, independent of
every other 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 lather less than two months;
during which lime I used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment ; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
dating the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

I hereby substantiate the truth of the above

Dear Sir—l have to request of you to forward
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most
immediate conveyance, and without regard to the
expense of carriage, as I am quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add,
tbat further experience has increased my enthusi
asm and established me in the opinion, that it is su
perior to any remedy extant fur external diseases.

Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known tome,as 1 have used none other
in my rather extensive practice lorseveral years, and
if you think it would be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures w Inch 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
ouedays. 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 I used
to purchase if, having failed and gone out of busi
ness, I am fearful if 1 purchase at random, that i
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.
Your obedient servant,

Dr. Harrison.
Sir, —1 have no hesitation in stating, in reply to
your note, t hat your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority of the ends for w hich you re
commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by the 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 rav universal recipe. I have
also used it on the leg of a boy which had been
bitten by an adder, and the extraction of the poison,
and ultimate cure was so rapid, tbat my patient was'
as well as ever in a week ; and has remained so to
this day

f ■ tHESE Pills are no longer among those of doubt-
A 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
all parts of the United States, the Canadas, Texas
Mexico, and the West Indies, us 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 elfccts. The certificates
that have been presented to the propiietor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of five hundred of
w T hich 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 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 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
Billions Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver

and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,Flatulence,Habitu

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 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 I 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 gra\ e.
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
pecting every day to be her last, your pills were
introduced into my family, and so speed}' and pal
pable were their effects that three doses visibly re
lieved her, and in less than turee 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 I could mention many more
of an equal l} r desperate nature, in which your pi 11s
- 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
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” 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 physicians, 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 1 feel it my duty to apprise you
of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
certificate, as lam 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
the 11th inst., I was called in great haste to the
house of a fellow ci.izen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found
his 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 I administered, with
such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes
my patient was at case, 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 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.

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 quantity taken, and are decidedly superior
to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.
Extract from a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor,
Me , Jan. 9, 1839. They are a peculiarly mild, yet
efficient purgative medicine, and produce little, it
any, griping or nausea. I have prescribed them
with much success in sick headache and slight bil
lious fever. *
Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams of
Burlington, VL, July 9, 1837. —I cordially recom
mend Peters’ Pills as a mildly effective, and in no
case dangerous, family medicine. They are pecu
liarly influential in costiveness and all the usual
diseases of the digestive organs.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Edw Smith of Mon
treal, U. U., Sept. 27,1836. —I never knev a single
patent medicine that I could put the least confi
dence in but Dr. Peters’ Vegetable Pills, which are
really a valuable discovery. I have no hesitation
in having it known that I use them extensively in
my practice,for all complaints, (and they are not a
few) which have their source in the impurity of the
blood
Extract of a letter from Dr. Dye of Quebec, L.
C., March 6, 1837. —For bilious fevers, sick head
ache, torpidity of the bowels, and enlargement of
the spleen, Peter’s Pills are an excellent medicine.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Gurney of New Or
leans, La„Oct. 9, 1837.—1 have received much as
sistance in my practice —especially in jaundice and
yellow fever, from the use of Peters’ Pills. I pre
sume that, on an average, I prescribe 100 boxes in
a month
Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson,
N. Y., Juae 3, 1836. —I was aw'are that Dr. Peters
was one of the best chemists in the United Stales
and felt assured that he would some day (from his
intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs
and drugs) produce an efficient medicine, and I must
acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully respond
to my expectations. They are indeed a superior
medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist
the Physician, and the Philosopher. ’
Mecklenuuk'. co. va, Feb. 7. 1387
Having used Dr. Peters’ Pills in my practice for
he last twelvemonths, I take pleasure in giving
my testimony of their good effects in cases of dys
pepsia, sick head-ache, bilious fevers, and other
diseases, produced by inactivity of the liver. They
are a safe and mild aperient, being the best article
of the kind 1 ever used.
GEORGE C. SCOTT M. D.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Scott of Baltimore

favor.

LE CORDIAL I>JE LUCIVI?*

riNHE subscriber has the pleasure <>«
1 lo Ihe citizens of the U. St“ ,h.,T C , me
purchased, for a very large sum and Vr,m , Ie ! as
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, 0 | p ar ne
recipe ard right for making this astonish,™ 8 r
cine. Until the appearance of the* 1
dial,” (about three years since,) it was thought that
the complaints, which tt speedily overcomes we*
beyond the reach of human remedy, as for upward
of a thousand yrars. they had baffled the wisdom
and ingenuity of the most profound physicians
all parts of the world. This Cordial, however tl'
the great advantage of the human race,soon proved
itself to be the desideratum so long sought (or ■ and
accordingly, notwithstanding tl e hriet fieri dof*i
existence, it has required a celebrity so great, tliEt
it is eagerly inquired for throughout the civilized
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that ihe demand
was so vast as to renders supply impossible dis
posed of the recipe and right of sale, underoblig*.
lions of secrecy, f«r England, the United States
and othoi countries,only preserving France and
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber p, s .
sessed himself of the invaluable secret ; and now
hastens to give the inhabitants of his line of agents
the benefits of his speculation.
“le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “ihe
Lucina Cordial.” isa general invigorator of the
human frame! In all the various cases of languor
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing reme
dy; as it is equally its province to impart cheerfu'
ness and decision to the mind, as health and vwor
to the body. But the peculiar virtue on which °its
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they have
been destroyed by disease, lime, recklessness,or any
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of ihose functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, t his C ordial contains nothing of a mer
eurial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre
dients which compose it; but is, at ihe same lime,
so simple, yet so efficacious, 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 i lie bene fits which would be
sure to result from it, wecannoteritennto an analy
sis ol this ine.timable Cordial here, or publish many
of tiiedocuments which have been received, as
vouchers of ihe blessings it lias conferred on num
bers of despairing individuals. But this we 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 of
theprocreantlunctionsjineithersex; and therefore,
that these 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 an indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor A Ibus, obstructed, diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon
tinence ot Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
of. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of theskiu,
and in the dropsical affections ol the aged.
Most important to the American Public.
The United Slates proprietor of the celebrated
“ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the following certificate,
which he has received from the inventor, the illus
trious Dr. Magnin. of Paris :
“ Thi» is to certify, that I have disposed of the
recipe for making the “Lucina Cordial,” or
“ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it
throughout the 1 nited Slates of North America,
to John Winters Holderwell, M. D. My reasons
for so doing is, that the demands to me for the above
Cordial, of which lam the inventor, are so nume
rous, that I am unable to supply all the orders from
France and halt alone; and have therefore dispo
sed of the privileges vouchsafed in this*, and other
certificates of a like nature in order to generalise

your great discovery, and have assembled for the
purpose of beating evidence to the facts, and tend
ering you the honor which is your due. The
“Lucina Cordial” is in our opinion, an infallible
remedy for the prostralion of the Procreant func

Extract 51 s letter from the elebrated Talleyrand,
to Dr. Magnin.
1 am now on the wrong side of eighty, and yet 1
could be on my honor or oaifrif necessary, that a
bottle or two of your Cordial of Love has made me
feel as vigorous as a boy of five and twenty. I
think you have discovered the “Elixir of Life,’
which the alchy mists have been so long in quest ot;
and that (pardon ray officiousness,; you should have
named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am mos
gratified at the unprecedented popularity of your
“Lucina Cordial,” and arn able to bear testimony to
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recentlv,
I M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had for
several years abandoned himself in the vortex oi
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener
gies. He was, indeed,reduced to the last extremity
of debility and tastelessness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the result perlect
prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrum*
in such cases; but, as I had anticipated, without
success; and when 1 saw the “Lucina Cordial”
advertised, 1 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 felf
bound to try it, how ever, and was soon satisfied of
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, mV
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of
his system ; and he is now, having used four bottles,
as wellis ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the
first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine,” would
fill a volume as large as the Bible.
