GALLIGHAN’S VEGETABLE FEVER AND AGUE FILLS. A certain and lasting care for that disease. THE subscribers having been appointed special agents for the sale of Gallighau’s Fever and Ague Pills, is prepared to famish planters and country traders with supplies of said article on terms equally as favorable as they can be obtained of the proprietors Gallighan’s Pills, though useful for all diseases which originate in a superabundant collection of bile in the stomach, arc more particularly intended for Fever and Ague. In the first place they cleanse, strengthen and give tone to the stomach and bow els, and create a new and healthy action through out the system. They produce a natursl and per manent appetite; they defend the system against new or subsequent attacks of the disease; they assist the various operations of nature by cleansing the system of all vitiated, corrupt and acrid humors, and thus invigorate and reanimate the whole frame. Possessing a purgative quality, they cannot remain in the boVels to produce such other diseases as often follow the injudicious treatment of the fever and ague. They are composed entirely of vegeta ble matter, and may be taken ty persons of both se«s and of all ages, without the least danger of unpleasant consequences. In fine, the public are assured that Gallighan’s pills possess those inesti mable virtues, which are requisite not only to ar rest, but to eradicate and destroy .he last seeds of this most distressing malady of the human family.

Radical Cure oi'Hernia or Rupture, by Dr. Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses. riNHE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug j 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 affection, 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 the com mittee oi 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 case 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 confidence of the profession, as the best known nteans of me chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the highest chances of radical cure.” The following is from the Southe. :i Medical and Southern Journal, published in our own city. “ Ail 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 ble person, of their pecuniary disability. The instruments are of all sizes, a*id applicable to everv variety of reducible rupture, feb 20 F. M. ROBERTSON, M. D. TO THE FACULTY ANDHEADS OF FAMILIES. DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, 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 Ic’ng 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 aosutu than for one to offer meal from the com stalk, to say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato so far North. Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the Tomato Pills (proper) for the gre-.it benefits of which, he holds himself bound, ami ij honor pledg ed to prove by their use, that they are all that they profess to be, and will do for otbcis what they have done for such as mav have used them ; as 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 produce s I V ice as much of the hapatine, or active principle, apid when used as a daily vegetable will be foum:} co keep the system in much better condition than the other kind; many will recollect with trembling anxiety calomel has been given to and how they then wished for a subst tute. It has long been known that the Tomato icontained ca thartic principles, but not until oP 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 the one thousand and one cure-alls of the day. If you wish to cleanse the system witli a mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon be in this city.

CtOIIEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.— J 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 diseases to the thousands of cures that his preparation has accom plished, and to the numerous strange and highly respectable testimonials which have, from lime 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, 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 effectuady 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. M. B. COHEN, No. 275£ Hudson street, N. Y. New York, Aug. 3, 1838. Dear Sir —Having frequently witnessed the ap plication of your 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.

Cohen’s Rheumatic Embrocation, and have found it a raost useful adguvant in the treatment of this painful disease, and therefore hesitate not to recommend it in all cases of Rheumatism.

JOURS, OR ' ANTi-BALSAMIC GONOREHCEAL SOLUTION, | Warranted to cure in Five Days. rriHIS 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 all of its trying circumstances, namely, “five days,”—the 1 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 i siness in the North-west with the Indians.— Wabenoshe prized highly and use it with invariable \ success throughout his two tribes. Its known and t valued virtues have already enriched to an almost 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 rely with, I may say, religious confidence 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. Che veret, 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 r white friend M. Cheverct, (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.

PERHAPS there is nothing mo” calculated to disgust the public eye than the innumerable advertisements of nostrums that are constantly ap pearing in the public prints. AH are ready to ex claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained with every day’s reports of ills and specifics. This state of the public mind would seem to forbid any person of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis coveries in medicine, to the trial of the public.— Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from making known real discoveries, which we are con fident will benefit our fellow men. Tins latter consideration has prompted the author of these hit ters to make them known. He knows they are high ly efficacious, for he himself, his wife, and many friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was himself a confirmed dyspeptic, so much, that even his recollection was gone. By using these bitters he has been restored to health. Mrs. Cosby was troubled for many years, but was restored to health by the use of these bitters. This has been the case with many of his frif nds. Mr. Cosby in sending forth this advertisement, addresses those who know him. Ho has been for many years a resident of Augusta, at which place he can at any time be consulted about Urn bitters. They are good in all cases of diseases of the digestive organs, the symp toms of which are indigestion, pain or oppression in the stomach from food, loss of appetite, flatulen cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak ness, disturbed sleep, &c The composition is en tirely Botanical, ami has proved efficacious when many celebrated medicines had failed. In support er which he refers them to Freeman VV. Lacy, she riff of Richmond countv, and William T.

There are many families who have considered Sick Headache a con stitutional incurable family complaint* Dr. S. as sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring under distress w'hich tney might not only alleviate, but actually eradicated by the use >f his remedy. It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely of a different character from advertised patent medi cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste. HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS. The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s 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 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 convince the most credulous. The principles on which it acts are simple and 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 th** sys tem has become vitiated or debilitated, through the stomach, and that only through the same channel must, they expects restoration of the natural and healthy functions of the system. This object. Dr. Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain. 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. Tive remedy may be had of apothecaries generally throughout the United States. For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 Broad-street, Augusta. mar 26 THE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo 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 thejspeed and certainty of its operations, have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wouuds, 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, w ill allay and perfectly cure an ulcer m two weeks, and the most desperate cases of white swelling that can be ima j gin ed,have been destroyed by it in less than two months. Inihe 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 pervading the system. It is likewise greatly supe rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the chafed back and limbs of horses—for tellers, 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 Ointment,” upwards of a hundred of which were written by respectable members of the Medical Faculty. Albany, July 9th, 1837. To Dr. Harrison. Sir—l use your Specific Ointment in my practice, and cordially recommend it as a most efficient reme dy for Tumors, Ulcers, White Swellings, Scrofula, Rheumatic Fains, Chapped Face, Lips and Hands: and for general external complaints. I write this at the request of your agent here, who furnishes mo w ith the article, and am pleased to have it in my power to award honor to merit. RUFUS R. BEACH, M. D. Brooklyn, N.

Dear Sir—My daughter,a girl of fourteen, was sadly afflicted vvitn the comp ainl that physicians termed a scald head ; and I feared, independent of every other evil, that she would he bald in conse quence. By the recommendation, however, of the Reverend Mr. Perrin, 1 applied your ointment to the afflicted part; and I 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 which time I used fiv dollars worth of oint ment ; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars during the previous three years, without any benefit whatever.

Respectfully yours, CHARLES P. EMERSON, M. D. New Orleans, March 20th, 1838 Dr. Harrison. Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have been long known to me, as I have used none other in my rather extensive practice forseveral years,and if you think it would be to your advantage, I can furnish you with twenty certificates of important cures which it has effected under my own imme diate inspection: the last being one of a severe and apparently perpetual ulcer,in the hack of a pqw woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di vision street, which it completely healed in twenty one days. 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 it, having failed and gone out of busi ness, I am fearful if I 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, —I have no hesitation in stating, in reply to your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly equal to the majority of the ends for which you re commend it. I qualify my 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, &c., it is mv universal recipe.

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 goad effects. The certificates * that have been presented to the propiietor exceed twenty thousand! upwards of five hundred of ’ which are from regular practising physicians, who r are the most competent judges of their merits. Often have the cures performed by this racdicin | been the subject of editorial comment, in variou , newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be j asserted, that no medicine of the kini has ever re -1 ceived testimonials of greater value thin are at . tached to this. } They' are in general use as a family medicine 3 and there are,thousands of families who declare they re never satisfied until they have a supply always 3 on hand. ] They have no rival in curing and preventing i Eillious Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver .

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' request of your agent, Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the almost miraculous effects of your piPs ; and I would add, that you may make use oi them, in connection with my name, in any manner you deem pro|ier, 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 rcceiv ! ed from them in general, that I would rather pur i chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house t without them. 1 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 > pie purifier of the system, and therefore equally i the enemy of every disease. I will mention one case. 1 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 grate. She was attended bv 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 j fortune, however, as she was in this situation, ex -1 peeling 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 1o health. This case, I and all who were witness of it, (but more especially' the suffering party,) considered to be the next tiling to miraculous; and yet I could mention many more of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills f were equally successful in rescuing the patients i 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 1 presume you know from the immense quantity' you dispose of. I may mention, however, that notwithstanding 1 its general use, 1 never heard an individual complain of its effects. My'residence is 12 miles fronq Ral -1 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 s of fifteen 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 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 1 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 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, 1539. 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 ciiizen, (Mr, Lee,) where I found his son laboring under a most alarming attack of Cynanche Tracnealis (CTonp) and apparently' be yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for tune, however, I had in my pocket a broken box of your pills—four of which 1 administered, with such immediate happy ellbct that in a. few minutes my patient was at ease, and out of danger. This case,in connection with my name is at y'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 1 believe there is not one of them who does not use it in his private 1 practice.

Slates, that he has purchased, fora very large sum ami from the in ventor, Ihe celebrated Dr. Magnin, of Paris lug recipe ard right for making this astonishing medi cine. Until the appearance of the “ Lucina Cor dial,'’ (about three years since,) it was thought that the complaints, which it speedily overcomes, were beyond the reach of human remedy, as for upwards of a thousand yiars, they had baffled the wisdom and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in all pans ol the world. This Cordial, however, to the great advantage of the human race,soon proved itself to he the desideratum so long sought for; and accordingly, notwithstanding the brief period of its existence, it has required a celebrity so great, that it Is eagerly inquired for throughout the civilized globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the demand was f-o vast as io render a supply impossible, dis posed of the recipe and right oi sale, under obliga tions of secrecy, f*r England, the United Stairs, and other countries, only preserving France and Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber pos sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and now hastens logivelhe inhabitants of his line of agents, the benefits of his speculation. “Le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “the Lucina Cordial,” is a 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 cheerful, ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor to the body. But the peculiar virtue on which its celebrity is based, is the facility and certainry with which it restores the virile powers when they have been destroyed by disease, time, recklessness,orany of the numerous causes w hich terminate in the prostration of those functions. In common with the generality of really good medicines, this Cordial contains nothing of a mer curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre dients which compose it; butis, at ihe same time, so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can reno vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an mfan raay use it,not only with impunity, hut with ad vantage. The usages of society are unfortunately such, that, notwithstanding the benefits which would bo sure to result from it, wc cannot enter into an analy sis ol this inestimable Cordial here, or publish many of the documents w hich have been received, as vouchers of the blessings u has 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 the procreant functions, in either sex ; and therefore, that those evils are the effects of artificial causes, and may he 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 Ibiis, 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 theskin, and in the dropsical affections of the aged. Most important to the American Public. The United Stales proprietor of the celebrated “ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay before the coramunit}', the following certificate, w hich he has.received from the inventor, the illus trious Dr. Magnin. of Paris : “ This 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. D. My reasons for so doing is, that the demands to me for the above Cordial, of which lam the inventor, are so nume rous, that I am unable to supply all the orders from France and Italy alone; and have therefore dispo sed of the privileges vouchsafed in this, and oilier certificates of a like nature in order to generalise the benefits of my discovery throughout the vvorid.

Postscript to the above. As you requested me to state the number of hot ties ol the “ Lucina Cordial,” which I have already sold, I have referred to my books, and find it to ex ceed four bundled thousand ; while the orders now on hand cannot be supplied in less than three months. From an immense number of testimonials from (he regular faculty, touching the virtues of the Cordial, 1 have in particular selected the following, which rffay be cf use to you. You will also find "a number of others of less importance inclosed. This immediate cert.ficate is from a body of eight of the ablest medical practitioners in France. To Dr. Magnin, im enter of the Lucina Cordial, or Elixir of Love Respected and Honored SSir:—We have all in a variety of cases, tested the remarkable effects ot your great discovery, and have assembled for the purpose of bearing evidence to the facts, and tend ering you the honor which is your due. The “Lucina Cordial” is in our opinion, an infallible remedy for the prostration of the Procreant Func lions, and Artificial Barrenness : and therefore must prove a blessing to the human race. We ca; also bear evidence (hat there is nothing in it of a mer curial or deleterious nature ; and in short, tls it is one of the noblest medicinal discoveries ofany ago With feelings of admiration and respect we re main, dear sir, your obedient servants, Josselin Bossuit, I Jean Blanc, Sigismond de la Marline,!

I am now on the wrong side of eighty, and yet 1 could be on my honor or oath if necessary, that a hotlleortw'o 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 alchymists have been so long in quest ol; and that (pardon my officiousness,) you should have named it accordingly. From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels October 3, 1537. To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am raos gratified at the unprecedented popularity of your “Lucina Cordial,” and am able to hear testimony to its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently, I >1 , a gentleman ol fortune, who had lor several years abandtsned himself in the vortex oi dissipation; and was only reclaimed from it at length by the utter prostration of ail his virile ener gies . lie was, indeed,reduced to the last exi remity of debility and taslefessness, for, if an occasional flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac tion was almost immediate, and the result perlect prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrums in such cases ; but, as I had anticipated, without success ; and when I saw the “ Lucina Cordial” advertised, I 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 felt bound to try it, however, and was soon satisfied of its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, ray patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ol his system ; and he is now, having used four bellies, as well is ever. The number of documents, such as the above which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the first appearance of “ Lo Cordial de Lucine.” would fill a volume as large as the Bible.
