Radical Cure of Hernia or Hr lure, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeoir 1 Trusses.
THE subscriber has opened an ol ce, at the Drug
store of Messrs. J. J. Roberts! j & Co., for the
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by neans of these
ustly celebrated instruments. He llias now used
them for nearly a j-ear, and, did not ; .eLcacy forbid,
he could name several persons who! *vc been radi
cally cured, of this truly distressing and dangerous
affection, by the use of these Trusse; i besides many
* others who are in a fairway of bei g entirely re
lieved. The following is the Ipngua te of the com
mittee ot the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia. I
“ The instruments of Dr. Chase |iave effected
the permanent and accurate retention of the in
testines in every case of Hernia observed by the
committee, without material inconv*j|iience to the
patient, and often under trials morl severe than
are usually ventured upon by those v|io wearother
trusses; trials that would be imprulent with any
other apparatus known to the commftee.”
“ The committee are induced by the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in strongfeerms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the tonfidence of
the profession, as* the best known cleans of me
chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the
highest chances of radical cure.”
The following is from the Souther Medical and
Southern Journal, published in our o 'n city.
“ All must admit of the radical ci ;e of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are dcci edly the best
yet invented to effect the object.”
Persons from a distance can haveth instruments
applied, upon application at the office and all ne
cessary information given to enable t em to adjus
it themselves. The poor, who are L icring under
this afflicting complaint, will be treat! J gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certifcate,from s< neresponsi*
hie person,of their pecuniary disabilit .
The instruments are of all sizes, an ; applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture. I

DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXIIRACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute for C lomel, and
does not belong to the family of quaci medicines;
for the reason that the component pa; s are made
known to the faculty, or any one el I* that may
wish to know, b f any of tne agents k &ping them
for sale. Since this discovery so lo |g and anx
iously looked for, some one in almost ie extreme
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to
be made from the stalk, a thing not i ore aosuiu
than for one to offer meal from the co U stalk, to
say nothing of the difficulty of raising jie Tomato
so far North. I
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the propi etor of the
Tomato Pills (proper) for the great >tenefits of
which, he holds himself bound, and in h (nor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they are Cl that they
profess to bo, and will do for others •’what they
have done lor such as mav have use» t them • as
this is a vegetable of great use, and vjllue it will
doubtless be valuable information to j imilies to
know that the Yellow are just doubly l s valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twi|; as much
of the hapatine, or active principle, andl vhcn used
as a daily vegetable will be found toj keep the
system in much better condition thai| the other
kind; many will recollect with whaiitrembling
anxiety calomel has been given to ch-ldren.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 thtfr contained alterative and diu
retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use
the preparation most cheerfully, tor 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 the 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 tbs Tomato
Pill, of which a supply, we learn, willlioon 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 diseaes to the
thousands of cures that his preparation has accom
plished, and to the numerous strange and highly
respectable testimonials which have, from time to
time, been published to that effect in New York
and other places. So certain and searching is this
Liniment in its operations, even in cases of long
standing, and of an obstinate nature, that it has
never been known to fail. The following letters
are selected from hundreds of others of a like de
scription. It will be proper that all persons using
he Liniment, see that it is accompanied with the
signature of the proprietor in his own hand writing.
Since the introduction of this remedy to the public,
various empirics have been palmed upon the coun
try, Nostrums and Lotions, aud 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 ly
cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has 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 frequently witnessed the ap
plication of your Rheumatic Embrocation,and tie

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.

New York, April 20, 1839.
I certify that I have used Dr, M. B. Cohen’s

ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRIREAL solution.
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
incomparable and invaluable remedy so
X long known, and used with such unparralleled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 years, 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
1 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 VVabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst
• he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
> sincss in the North-west with the Indians. —
Wabenoshe prized highly and use it with invariable
1 success throughout his two tribes. Its known and
valued virtues have already enriched to an almost
r incredible extent the children of this war! ike prince,
not only by actual sale of the article itself to in
’ dividuals, but by parting w*ith copies of his receipt
j 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 rely
with, I may say, religious conlidcnce on its cura
ble powers.
Below is a copy of the translation as near as it can
: 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 tune
which is consumed in preparing the article for im
mediate use.

is to subdue every vestige of indamation, and then

the subduction of this loathsome malady —and ev

assertion, that copious diuresis and reduction of in- ,

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
known to obtain such as stricture, hernia, humoi

most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis
eases, consequent upon erroneous diagnosis and

HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spobn’s
remedy for this distressing cumpaint 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 preventiv t, 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 most credulous. The
principles on w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a milted fact that this complaint, whether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach —those who think they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that ihis
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that Ih-sys

stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expect s respiration of jhe natural and

Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated lo aitain.
The truth of this position cannot he controverted,
and the sooner sufferers with the headache become

nmiE great celebrityof 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, wouuds,
corns, fever gores,chilblains, w hile swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, Are. Are., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, if prop
erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or
break and heal a bile in rive days, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperate easeful w hite swelling that can be ima
go ed, 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 thatth.y will
j at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from
| perva ting 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 extci
nal bodily evil that may fall lo the lot of man or
beast.

Dear Sir—My daughter, a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted wrin thecomp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and 1 leaned, mdepe dent ol j
every other evil, that she would be: bald in oonse- '
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the '
Reverend Mr. Fernn, 1 applied your oinimeut lo the
afflicted part; and 1 thank God that my child is
now entirely recovered from the oisease, and is
getting her hah as fast as can be expected. The
cure was effected in lather less than two months;
during which lime I used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; I had spent npw’ards of a hundred dollars
during the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

I hereby substantiate the truth ol the above
statement.

Dear Sir—l have to request of you to forward !
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most
immediate conveyance, and vv ithout regard to, the
expense of carriage, as lam quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know ray estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add,
mat further txperience has increased ray enthusi

perior to any remedy extant lor external diseases.

Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me, as I have used none other
iu my rather rxtensive practice for several years, and
if y«u think it would be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures w hich it has effected under my own imme
diate inspection; the last being one of a severe
and apparently p-rpetual 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 io learn who is your authorised agent, in this
city, for,being in want of a supply of your oint
ment, and I lie person Mr. Boyle, from whom I used
to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi
ness, I am fearful if 1 purchase at random, that J
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.

Sir, —1 have no hesitation in stating, m reply to
your note, t hat your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal lo the majority ol the ends for which you re
commend it. 1 qualify ray certificate by the word
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters where 1 have had no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
lows, piles, Are., it is muniversal 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, that my patient was
as well as ever in a week ; and has remained so to
this day

1 1 -HESK Pills are no longer among those ot doubt-
JL ful utility. They have passed away from the
hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide ot
experiment, and now stand before the public as
high in reputation, and as extensively employed in
all parts of the United States, the Canadas, iexas
Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine tha*
has ever been prepared for the relief of sutfeiiug
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
evidenced of their goad effects. The certificates
that have been presented to the propiietor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of live hundred ol
which are from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this medical
been the subject of editorial comment, in variou
newspapers and journals; and it may w ith 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 alwaj s
on hand.
They have no rival in curing and preventing
Billious Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver

where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are
exceedingly mild in their operation, producing
neither nausea, griping no. debilitv.
The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No
Ca, March 3d, 183 S:
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 I won Id
add, that you may make use oi 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 three
years ; and so great are 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 Lhe 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 eqtially
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 grave.
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 hersuffer
ings were fruitless ; and accordingly,we ail 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 effects that three 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, (but more especially the
j suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to
I 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 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. 1 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 cruelly afflicted with Fever
and Ague; and during the time could tmd nothing —
though 1 had applied to ever}' thing that gave me
any thing like permanent relief. At length, how
ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
of our best phj sicians, and 1 am most grateful and
happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used
I two boxes when I found that they had restored me
to perfect health. Since then, vaiious members of
my family have used them with equal success—
and consequently 1 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 un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,
THEODORE JAMES.

11. Irwin of Florence, Georgia :
Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear 8ir —On the night of

house of a fellow ci-izen, (Mr. Lee,) where 1 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 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 j our ser
vice—‘and I have the pleasure to be able to inform
you that your inestimable medicine is in such great
favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is
not one of them who does not use it in his private
practice. Yours most resp’y.

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo

Extract from a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor,

really a valuable discovery. I 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.

a month
Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson,
N. Y., Ju.ie 3, 1836. —I was aware that Dr. Peters
was one of the best chemists in the United Stales,
and felt assured that he would some daj r (from his
intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs
and drugs) produce an efficient medicine, and Imust
acknowledge that his Vegetate Pills fully respond
to my expectations. They are indeed a superior
medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist
the Physician, and the Philosopher.
MtCKLEstiK!. CO. 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 I ever used.

Extract of a letter from Dr. Scott of Baltimore,
Dec. 17,1836. —I am in the daily' habit of prescri

favor.

throughout the t rated Stales of North America,

for so doing is, that the demands to meforthe above

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin : —My dear friend—l am raos
gratified al ltie unprecedented popularity of your
“Luc na Cordial,” and am able to bear testimony to
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently,
I M , a gentleman ot 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. lie was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity
of debility and t istelessness. f or, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate,and the result perfect
prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrums
in such ca-es ; but, as I had anticipated, without
success ; and when 1 saw ihe “ 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. 1 felt
bound to try it,however,and was soon satisfied of
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of
his system ; and bets now, hiving used four bottles,
as wellxs 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.
