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.

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.” Signed WABINOSHE,his X mark.

All are ready to ex - T claim,our souls are sick, our ears are pained with s every day’s reports of ills and specifics. This state s of the public mind would seem to forbid any person of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis- T coveries in medicine, to the trial of the public.— g Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent ns from making known real discoveries, which we are con i’ fident will benefit our fellow men. This latter ’ consideration has prompted ihc author of these hit- T ters to make them known.

There are many families who have considered Sick Headache a con stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as 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 the United States. For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 Broad-street, Augusta. mar 26 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.

RUFUS R. BEACH, M. D. Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 29, 1838. 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.

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. Respectfully yours, j CHARLES P. EMERSON, M. D. New Orleans, March 20th, 1838 Dr. Harrison. 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, EDWARD RAMSEY, M. D. Cincinnati, August 9,1837. 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 Yours respectfully, HENRY JACOBS, M.

Wray & Son Retail price, 50 cents per box, with foil di recions, une 5 jy 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 Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, Furred Tongus, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,Flatulence,Habitu al Costivoness,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 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. 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 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. March 13, 1839. J. H. 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 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.

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 Dec. 17,1836. —I am in the daily habit of prescri bing them, (Peters’ Pills) and they in nearly all cases answered my purpose. I have discarded other medicines, some of them very good ones, in their favor. Charcotte, N.C., Jan. 1, 1837. Dear Sir I have made frequent use of your Pills in the incipient stage of bilious fever, and obsti nate constipation of the bowels ; also, in the en largement of the spleen, chronic diseases of the liver,sick head-ache, general debility, and in all case have lound tnem to be very effective.

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.

The “Lucina Cordial” is in our opinion, an infallible remedy for the prostralion of the Procreant func lions, and Artificial Barrenness : and therefore must prove a blessing to the human race. We ca also bear evidence that, there is not li ingin it of a mer curial or deleterious nature ; end m short, tl r it ia one of the noblest medicinal discoveries ofany ago With feelings of admiration and respect wo re main, dear sir, your obed-ent servants, Josselm Bossuit, 1 Jean Blanc, Sigismond de la Marline, ( Robert Stevenson, Adnen Decrand, [ Louis Ouiscau, Octave Nicolt, | Piene Buffen 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.
