MACON, I THOMAS STOCKS, J jan 8 trwtf 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, feb 20 F. M. ROBERTSON, M. D. 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.

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. M. B. COHEN, No. Hudson street,N. Y. New York, Aug. 3, 1838. Dear Sir —Having frequenty witnessed the ap plication of vour Rheumatic Embrocation,and tie beneficial effects arising therefrom, it affords me pleasure to state that I most cheerfully recommend it as an invaluable remedy, and the best known for the cure of that painful and distressing complaint, either in its acute or chronic form.

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.” Signed WABINOSHF,his X mark.

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 prefessionai reputation on this fact.

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 beast.

They have been introduced wherever it was found possible to cany them ; and there are but few towns that do nut contain some remarkable evidences of their good effects. The certificates that have been presented to the propiietor exceed twenty thousand! upwards of five hundred of which are from regular practising physicians, wire are the most competent judges of their merits. Often have the cures performed by this mediciu 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 Pillions Fevers, 1- ever 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,lllotchcdor 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 no. debility. 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.

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.

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. Charlotte, N.C., Jan. 1, 1837.

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.
