Radical Cure ol Henna or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
FINHE subscriber has opened an olficc, 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 now used
them for nearly a year, and, did not delicacy forbid,
he could name several persons who have been radi
cally cured , of this truly distressing and dangerous
alfection, by the use of these Trusses,besides many
others who arc in a fairway of being entirely re
lieved. The following is the language of the com
mittee of the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia.
“ The instruments of Dr. Chase have effected
the permanent and accurate retention of the in
testines in every ease of Hernia observed by the
committee, without material inconvenience to the
patient, and often under trials more severe than
are usually ventured upon by those who wearother
trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any
other apparatus known to the committee.”
“ The committee are induced by the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in strong terms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the conlidence 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 effect the object.”
Persons from 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 someresponsi*
ble 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 EXTRACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, ana
does not belong lo 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 and 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 aosuiu
than for one to oiler meal from the corn stalk, to
say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the
Tomato Pill# (proper) for the great benefits of
which, he holds himself bound, and in honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they are ail that they
profess to be, and will do for others what they
have done for such as mav have used them ; as
Jus 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 the ottrer
kind ; many will recollect with what trembling
anxiety calomel has been given to children, and
how they then wished for a substitute. It has
long been known that the Tomato contained ca
thartic principles, but not until of late was it
ascertained that they contained alterative and diu
retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use
the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that
they know what it is Were it a patent mystery,
they would be bound to reject the medicine, as they
justly do tire one thousand and one cure-alls of the
day. If you wish 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,

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, sec 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 ti.e medical profession, as well as by the
thousands of persons who have been effectua ly
cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber lias 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.

Dear Sir —Having frequenty witnessed the ap

ANTi-BALSAMIC GOKORRIREAL SOLUTION ,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
ritHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
Jl long known, and used with such unparralleled
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 al! 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 31. Cheveres, from the celebrated
Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst
he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
i siness in the North-west with the Indians. —
Wabenoshe prized highly and use it with invariable
[ success throughout his two tribes. Us 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
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'‘art 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 roly
with, 1 may say, religious conlidence on its cura
ble pow T ers.
Below is a copy of the translation as near as it can
be anglisizpd of the deed given by Wabenoshe, to
>l. Cheverct, 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 Ottowa and
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 rny 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.”

is to subdue every vestige of inflamation, and then

the subduction of this loathsome malady —and ev

assertion, that copious diuicsis and reduction of in

a sound and radical cure
The most peculiar virtue of the “Cinq Jours,”
is in this, that wherever it alone has been used to
affect a cure, none of those tenacious and disagree
able consequences which almost invariably results
from the sudden cure of Gonorrhoea, have been

most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis

HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy lor this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter ol much astonishment,
That so m ich suffering should have existed fur ages
without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret hut Dr. S.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will com mco the most credulous. The
principles on which it acts arc simple and plain. It is
an a milled fact that this complaint, whet her 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 sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must, they expects restoration ol the natural and
healthy functions ol the system. This object, Dr.
Spnhn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain.
The truth of this position cannot be controverted,
and the sooner sufferers vviih the headache become
convinced of it, Ihr sooner will their suffering end
in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges hts

fB’HIE great celehrhyof this unrivalled Compo

the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its
favor: for it. lias been generally conceded to it,that
it is beyond all comparison ths best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed the'speed and certainty of its operations,
have I he appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, while swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, &c. <fec., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, il prop
erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or
break and heal a bile in five uays, will allay and
perfectly curean ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperate cases of w hite swelling that can be ima
go ed. have been destroyed by it in less than two
months. In the bites op 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
ehaled 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 Jot ol man or

Dear Sir —I have to request of you to forward
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most
immediate conveyance, and w ithout regard to the
expense of carriage, as lam quile out, and much
in want of it. —You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add.

Dr. Harrison.
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as 1 have used none other
in my ratherf xtensive practice forseveral years,and
if you think it vvou.d be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty cerlificates of important
cures which it lias effected under my own imme
diate inspection: the last being one of a severe
and apparently perpetual ulcer, in tbe hack of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di
vision si reer, w hich il completely healed in i wenty
onedays. My present chief object in writing to
you, is to learn wdiois your authorised agent in this
city, for,being in want of a supply of your oint
ment, and I tie person Mr. Boyle, from whom I used
to purchase it, having tailed and gone out of busi
ness, I am fearful if 1 purchase ai random, that i
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.

Dr. Harrison.
Sir, —1 have no hesitation in stating, in reply to
your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority ol the ends for which you re
commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by the word
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters wdiere 1 have had no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
lows, piles, Ac., it is m </ universal recipe- I have
aLo used it on ihelegofa boy which 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

general outward complaints. I speak of its merits

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

asserted, that no medicine of the kin 1 has ever re

Thr following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of Wake Count}’, 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 elfects of your piPs ; and 1 would
add, that you may make use ol them, in connection
with my name, in any manner y r ou 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 ave the benefits wo 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. 1 will not enumerate the afflictions
they have relieved us of; but 1 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
pect ng every day to be her last, your pills were
introduced into my’ family, and so speedy and pal
pable were their elfccis that throe doses visibly’ re
lieved her, and in less than three months she was
perfectly restored to health. This case, I and all
who were witness of it, (hut more especially the
suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to
miraculous; and yet 1 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 from the immense quantity you dispose
of 1 may mention, however, that notwithstanding
its general use, I never heard an individual complain
of its effects. My residence is 12miles from isa>-
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, 1 have been ciuelly afflicted with Fever
and Ague; and during the time could bnd nothing—
though 1 had applied to every thing that gave me
any thing like permanent relief. At length, how
ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
of our best 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 y r ou to publish this
certificate, as I am anxious to add my public testi
mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,
THEODORE JAMES.
Augusta, Ga., Feb 10, 1839.
Communication received from the eminent Dr. J.
H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia:
Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear Sir—On the night of
the 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 (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 I administere 1, with
such immediate happy effect that in a lew 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. 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 elfects being produced by the dilferences
of the quantity'taken, and are decidedly supeiior
to Lee’s, Brandveth’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, if
any, griping or nausea. 1 have prescribed them
with much success in sick headache and slight 1 bi
lious 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 ail 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 1 could put the least confi
dence in but Dr. Peters’ Vegetable Pills, which are
really a valuable discovery. 1 have no hesitation
in having it known that 1 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. —I have received much as
sistance in my practice —especially in jaundice and
yellowAcver, from the use of Peters’ Pills. I pre
sume that, on an average, 1 prescribe 19U 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 elficientmedicine, 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.
Meckleseihg to. »a. Feb. 7 13^7
Having used Dr. Peters’ Pills in my practice for
he last twelve months, 1 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.

“le i ordial l)e Lucine,” or, in English, ‘‘me
Lucira Cordial,” isa gemral 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 cheersu 1
ness and decision to the mind, as health end vi» ( ,r
to the body But the peculiar virtue on which °iis
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they have
been destroyed by disease.time, recklessness.orany
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prosliation of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this*, ordial conta.ns nothing of a mer
curial or deleterious nature, among ihe many mare
dtetits which compose it; but is, at ihe same tinu,
so simple, yet so i fficacious, that while it can reno
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an mfan
may use it,not only with impunity, but wuh ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such,
that, notwithstanding the benefits which would he
sure to result Irom it, we cannot enter into an analy
sis ol this inc limable Cordial here, or publish many
of the documents w hich have been received, as
vouchers ol ihe blessings n has conferred on num
bers of despairing individuals. Butt is wc cannot
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, if any such tiling at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
the procrcant functions, in eh her sox ; and therefore,
that tin seevils arc the effects of artificial causes,
and may (>e speedily subdued «nd removed by the
use of “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also ; n indubitable cure
fur the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus,obstructed, diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, fur the mcon
liuenei of Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
of. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled

The United Mates proprietor of the celebrated

which he has received from the inventor, ihe illus

for so doing is, that the demands t > me for the above

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin: —My dear friend—l am rnos
gratified at the unprecedented popularity ol your
“Luc na Cordial,” and am able to fcear lestimony to
its surprising virtue, i had a patient recently,
t M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had lor
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 I istelessness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the result perleol
prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrum*
insuchca>es; 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 feli
bound to try it,however,and was soon satisfied of
its efficacy ; for before a bottle w as expended, my
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of
his system.; and be is now, hiving used four bottles,
as well ia ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the
first appearance ot “Lc Cordial de Lucine,” would
fill a volume as large as the Bible.
