Radical Cure ol llermaor Rupture* by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Tnisses.
subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
§ store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson & Co,, for the
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means: of these
ustly celebrated instruments. He has Go w used
them for nearly a year, and, did not delicacy forbid,
he could name several p .rsons who have be jin radi
cally cured , of this truly distressing and dangerous I
allection, 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 fie com
mittee ol the Philadelphia Medical Societjl on the
Radical Cure of Hernia. I
“ The instruments of Dr. Chase have Reflected
the permanent and accurate retention olsthe in
testines in every case of Hernia observed* by the
committee, without material incoavenicm e to the
patient, and often under trials more severe than
are usually ventured upon by those who wqar other
trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any
other apparatus known to the committee.’ 4
“ The committee are induced by the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in strong 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 as furnishing the
highest chances of radical cure.”
The following is from the Southern Medical and
Southern Journal, published in our own city.
“ All must admit of the radical cure of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best
yet invented to elfcct the object.”
Personsfrom a distance can have the instruments
applied, upon application at the office, and all ne
cessary information given to enable them to adjus
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate,from some responsi’
file person, of their pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture. '

TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF
FAMILIES. ‘
DR. MILES’ COMPOUND ENTRANT OF
TOMATO —a substitute for CalomFl, and
does not belong to the family of quack medicines;
for the reason that the component parts are made
known to the faculty, or any one else that may
wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them
for sale. Since this discovery so long a>=d anx
iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to
be made from the stalk, a thing not more -tosuiu
than for one to olfer meal from the corn stalk, to
say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietoviof the
Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of
which, he holds himself bound, and in honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they are a!! tb;ft they
profess to be, and will do for othcis win \ they
have done for such as mav have used them; as
v.his is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will
doubtless be valuable information to families to
know that the Yellow are just doubly as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much
of the hapatine, or active principle,and when used
as a daily vegetable will be found to keep the
system in much better condition than tin;; other
kind; many will recollect with what trembling
anxiety calomel has been given to children, and
how they then wished for a substitute, it ha„
long been known that the Tomato contained ca
thartic principles, but not until of late was it
ascertained that they contained alterative aud diu
retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use
the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that
they know what it i< Were it a patent mystery,
they would be bound to reject the medicine, ;jis they
justly do the one thousand and one cure-all*; ;of the
day. If you w ish to cleanse the system with a
mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato
Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon be in
this city. We all know something about this.

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

{never been known to fail. The following letters
are selected from hundreds of others of a like de
i scription. It will be proper that all persons using

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

j men in the medical profession, as well as by* the
i thousands of persons who have been elFectua ly

incomparable and invaluable remedy so
J long known, and used with such unpan alieled
t success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeais, ap
, pears to need no panegyric. Its operation upoffthe
[ human system is such that it invariably acts like
a charm, for the relief and radical cure of a certain
I common and disagreeable ‘dlls the flesh is heir to.”
This prize obtains its own name from the certain
> success which has attended it through all of its
1 trying circumstances, namely, “five days,” —the
* same success which followed it in a Northern lati
tude still obtains in a more Southern. The formula
t or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue
r and hazard by M. Cheveres, from the celebrated
1 Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst
’ he. with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
-0 siness in the North-west with the Indians. —
Wabcnoshe 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 prince,
not only by actual sale of the article itself to in
i' ditdduals, 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 com
i, 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 Wabcnoshe, to
M. Cheverct, when he purchased the original recipe,
and had twice assisted the Chief himself through
tiie tedious manipulatory process of manufacture.
Few white men would credit the length of time
* which is consumed in preparing the article for im

HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’e
remedy for this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment.
That so much suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual prevenliv or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret hut Dr. 6.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will com ince the most credulous. The
•.rinciples on which 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
ortian, the stomach, is the first cause, that the sys
tem has become vitiated or debilnaied, ihiough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expect s restoration of the natural and
healthy functions of I lie system. This object, Dr.
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to a r tain.
The truth of this position cannot be controverted,
and the sooner sufferers wiih ihe headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his

the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its
favor: for it has been generally conceded to ir,that
it is beyond all comparison lit? best remedy for ex

Indeed the’speed and certainly of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds,
corns, fever sores, chilblains, while swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, <kc. &c., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, if prop
erly applied it will remove en inveterate corn or
break and heal a bile in live nays, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperale cases of w bite 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 time, its
powersof attraction are so wonderful that th>-y will
at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from
perva ling the system. It is likewise greatly supe

Dear Sir —My daughter, a girl of founetn, was
sadly afflicted with the comp «int that physicians
termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, mdepe dent of
ever> other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Fermi, i 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 he expected The
cure was effected in rather less than two months;
during w hich time I used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
dutitig the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.
MARY HOWARD.
I hereby substantiate the truth ot the above
statement.
CHRISTOFIIER HOWARD.
1 know the above statement to be cotrccf, and I
can add from experience that “ Harrison’s Specific j
Ointment,” is an excellent medicine fur external
complaints

Dear Sir—l have to request of yon to forward
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by trio most
I immediate conveyance, and without regard to the
expense of carriage, as I am quile our, and much
in want of it.—You know' my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add, j
that further experience has increased my enthusi- j
asm and established me in theopinion, that it issu- j
pertor to any remedy extant for external diseases. |
Respectfully yours,

Dr. Harrison.
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have \
been long known tome,as I have used none other
in my rather extensive practice tor several years, and j
if think it would be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures which it has effected under rny own imme
diate inspection : the last being one of a severe
and apparently perpetual nicer, ia the back of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 L'i- 1
vision street, which it completely healed m twenty
onedays. 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 per&on Mr. Boyle,from whom 1 used
to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi
ness, I am fearful if I purchase at random, that J I
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.
Your obedient servant,

Dr Harrison.
Sir, —1 have no hesitation in stating, m reply to
yournote, that your “ Specific Ointment” j S truly
equal to the majority of the ends for which you re
commend it. 1 qualify rny certificate by the word
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
meylical matters where 1 have had no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
lows, piles, &c., it is mv universal recipe. I have
al-o used it on the leg of a hoy which had been
baien by an adder, and the extraction of the poison,
and ultimate cure was so rapid, that rny patient was
as well as ever in a week ; and lias remained so to
this day

f i Pills are no longer among those of cloubt-
I. 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, as any medicine tha*
has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering
man. They have been introduced wherever it was
found possible to cairy them ; and there are but
few towns that do not contain some remarkable
evidences of their good effects. The certificates
that have teen presented to the propiietor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of live 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 oi the kin 1 has ever re
ceived testimonials of greater value thin are at
tached to this.
They arc in general use as a family medicine
and there aie.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
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, 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 debility.
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; 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 thiee
years ; and so great are the benefits we have receiv
ed from them in general, that L would rather pur
chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house
without them. I will not enumerate Ihe 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 pc
! 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 dibits 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
I fortune, however, as she was in this situation, cx-
I pect ng every day to be her last, j our pills were
introduced into my family, and so speedy and pal
j pabie were their effects that three doses visibly re
j lievod 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
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 1 add that the popu
larity of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in
this section of the country P Hut this 1 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 etfccts. My residence is 12 miles from Bai-
I oigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen
-5 timents of regard, your ob’t servant.
A. G. BANKS.
To Dr. Peters, —Sir—For upward 0 of fifteen
I months, 1 have been cruelly afflicted with Fever
and Ague; and during the time could find nothing —
though 1 had applied to every thing that gave rne
any thing like permanent relief. At length, how
ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
of our best phv sicians, and I am most grateful and
i happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used
two boxes when 1 found that they had restored me
I to perfect health. Since then, various members of
: my family have used tbern with equal success —
: and consequently i feel it my duty to apprise jou
: 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 im
j 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 1 found
his son laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cynanche Tracncalis (Croup) and apparently be
yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
-1 tune, however, 1 had in my pocket a broken box of
| your pills —four of which I administere i, 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 1 believe there is
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
i gait, of Providence, R. L, Dec. 17, 1838.—Petcis’
! pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi
| cine, those effects being produced by the differences
j of the quantify taken, and are decidedly supeiior
: to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.
! Extract from a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor,
IMe , Jan. 9, 1839. They are a peculiarly mild,yet
{ efficient purgative medicine, and produce little, if
I any, griping or nausea. 1 have prescribed them
with much success in sick headache and slight bil
lions fever.
Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams of
Burlington, Vt., July 9, 1837.—1 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. (J., Sept. 27,1836. —1 never knev a single
| patent medicine that I could put the least conti
dence in but Dr. Peters’ Vegetable Pills, which are
really a valuable discovery. 1 have no hesitation
in having it known that I use them extensively in
my practice,for all complaints, (and they are not a
few) winch have their sourcein the in purity of the
blood
Extract of a letter from Dr. Dye of Quebec, L.
C,, .March 6, 1537. —For bilious fevers, sick bead
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. —I have received much as
sistance in rny 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. —1 was aware 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 cllicientmedicine, 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.

Having used Dr. Peters’ Fills 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 I 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

favor.

the complaints,which it speedily overcomes «!
beyond ihe reach of human remedy as s or U3 ’ vv ,
of a thousand ytars. they had baffled the vvisl
and ingenuity of the most profound nhvMcm* ° Bl
all pans ot the world. This Cordial, hovvt \er t *
the great advantage of the human race,soon proved
itse.t to be the desideratum so long sought lor • t
accordingly, notwithstanding ti e briel peri
existence, it has required a celebrity so great* p '-
it is eagerly inquired for throughout the, t iviD^H
globe. Dr. Magmn soon finding that the demand
was so vast as to render a supply intpossib’e dp
posed of the recipe and right ol sale, under oblFa'.

and othei countries, only preserving France ond
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber j H ; S .
j-essed himself of the invaluable secret; end now
hastens to give the inhabitants of his line cl agents
the benefits of his speculation. s 1
“le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, «* lne
Lucira ( ordial,” is a general invigorator of the
human frame ! In all the various cases of languor
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unlaihri" reme
dy ; as it is equally ns province to impart cheerful
ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor
to the body But the peculiar virtue on which'us
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they have
been rest roved by disease, lime, recklessness, oraay
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those fund ions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this! ordial coum.ns nothing of a met
curial or deleterious nature, among ihe many ingre
dients wiiiedt compose it; hut is, at die same imu
so simple, yet so fficacious, that while it can reno
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an mfan
may use H,not only with impunity, but w ith ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such,
that, notwithstanding die benefits vvhn h would be
sure to result from it, we cannot enter into an analy
sis of this ine timable Cordial here, or publish many
of the document s u hi.h have been received, as
vouchers of die blessings n lias conferred on nuni-
I hers-of despairing individuals. But inis weeannot
j forbear remarking—dial n lias been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
the procreant Junctions, in either sex ; and therefore,
that these evils arc the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued c.nd removed by the
use ol *’ Le Cordial (ie Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also rn indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albas, 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 incases of Chronic Eruptionsoftheskin,
and in the dropsical affections ol the aged.
Most important to the American Public.

1 am now on the wrong side of eighiy,and yet 1
could be on my honor or oaih if necessary, that a
bottle or two of your Cordial of Love has made me

think you have discoveted the “Elixir of Life,’

and. that (pardon my officiousmss,; you should have
named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin : —My dear friend—l am rnos
gratified at the unprecedented popularity of your
“Luc na Cordial,” and am able to near testimony lo
ils surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently,
1 M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had lor
several years abandoned himself in the vortex or
dissipation ; and wag only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of all tits virile ener
gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the hut extremity
of debility and tistelessness. lor, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost inum diute,and the result period
prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrums
in such cases ; bill, as 1 had anticipated, without
success; ami when I saw the “Lucina Coidial”
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. 1 felt
bound lo try it, how ever, and was soon satisfied of
ils efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ot
his system ; and lie is now, having used four bottler',
as w ell is ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since ihe
first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” would
fill a volume as large as the Bible.
