In manv hun dred certified cases which has been made public, ami in almost ever} species of disease to which the human frame is liable, the happy effects of MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AM) PHEMX BIT TERS have been gratefully and publicly ac- Inowledged by the persons bei.efiifted, and who were previously unacquainted with the beau'iluily phih sophical principles upon which they are compounded, and upon which they act. The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves in diseases of every form and descripiion. Their first operation is to loosen from the coats of the i -tomach and bowels, the various impurities and j crudities eon-tantly settling around them ; ano to remove the hardened faeces which collect i eonvolusions of the smallest intestines. Other medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind as to produce habitu al costiveness with eII its train ofevils. or in a sud den d.arrhcna, with its eminent dangers. This fact is well known to all regular anatomists, xviio ex amine the human bowels after death; and hence the prejudice of those well informed men against quack nieilfi ines—cr medicines prepared and her laded to the public bv ignorant p< rsons. 'J he se cond effect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity ol the urinary organs. The blood, which takes its red color from the agenev of the iix - er and the lungs before it passes into the heat, being thus purified by them and nourished by food coming from a clean stom ach, courses freely th.ough the veins, renews every part of the system, and triumphantly mounts the banner of health in the blooming cheek. Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been | thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera, Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consurop lion, Scnrxx, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptixe com plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common Colds and influenza and various other complaints which afflict the human frame. In fever and ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been mosteminenfly successful; so much so that in the Fexer and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni j versallv prescribe them. I All ihai Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is i to be particular in faking the Life Medicines strictly j according to the directions. It is not by a news -1 paper nonce, or any thing that he himself may say in their iavor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is alone by the resuh of a fair trial.

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 whohux'ebeen radi cally cured, of this truly distressing and dangerous affection, by the use of these Trusses, besides many others xvho are in a fairway of being entirely re liex'ed. The following is the language of the com mittee ot 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, xvithout material inconxenience to the patient, and often under trials more severe than are usually' ventured upon by those xvho 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 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 some responsi” ble person, of their pecuniary disability.

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.

Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of which, he holds himself bound, and in honor pledg ed to prove by their use, that they are all that they profess to be, and xvili do for otheis what they have done for such as mav have used them ; as .his is a \ r egetable of great use, and x’alue, it w'ill doubtless be valuable information to families to know that the Yelloxv 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 x-egetable will be found to keep the system in much better condition than the other kind; many xvili recollect with what trembling anxiety calomel has been gix r en to children, and hoxv they then xvished for a substitute. It has long been known that the Tomato contained ca thartic principles, but not until of late was it ascertained that .aey couiameu aiteratix’e and diu retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that they know xvhat 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 uay.

H WILSON, mav 9 xv4t June 8 CINQ JOURS, OR ANTI-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION, Warranted to cure in Five Days. THIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so long known, and used with such unparralleled success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeais, 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 it? own name from the certain success hich has attended it through all of its trying c cumstances, namely, “five days,”—the same su .ess 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 siness in the North-west with the Indians. — Wabenoshe prized highly and use it with invariable success throughout his two tribes. Its known and 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 tire Chief of every tribe of Indians in America, with a solemn promise to the Great Spirit, never to divulge the “art of it? 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 conlidence on its cura ble powers. Below is a cop}- 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 time which is consumed in preparing the article for im mediate use. TRANSLATION. “I, Wabenoshe, Chief of the nations Ottowaand Chippewa, lor 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 my children have had sent among them as a punishment by the Great Spirit, and hope that iu his hands it may do much good, and make him very rich.” Signed WABINOSHE,his X. mark.

It is the result of scientific research,and is entirely of a different chaiacterlrora advertised patent medi cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste. HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS. The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s remedy lor 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 ol an effectual preventive, 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 which it acts are simple nnd 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 a sys tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough ihe stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expects restoration of jhe naiural and healthy functions ol 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.

Indeed the'apeed and certainty of its operations, have the appearance ofmiracles : as ulcers, wouuds, corns, fever sores,chilblains, white swellings, biles, piles, spider and snake bites, &c. Are., immediately yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, it prop erly applied it will remove en inveterate corn or break and heal a bile in five days, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most desperate casesot white swelling that can be ima gined, have been destroyed by it in less than two months. In the bites of poisonous reptiles its effi cacy is truly surprising, and if applied in time, its powers ol attraction are so wonderful that they will at once arrest the poiison and thus prevent it from pervaamg the system. It is likewise greatly supe rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the chafed back and limbs of horses—lor tetters, ring worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or beast.

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 ipurchaseat random, that J may be imposed on by a counterfeit.

They have been introduced wherever it was found possible to carry them ; and there are but lew towns that do not contain some remarkable evidences of their goad eifects. The certificates that have been presented to the propiietor exceed twenty thousand! upwards of five hundred of which are from regular practising physicians, who are the most competent judges of their merits. Often have the cures performed by this medicin been the subject of editorial comment, in virion newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be asserted, that no medicine of the kin i 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.lhousands of families who declare they x - e never satisfied until they have a supply always on hand. They have no rival in curing and preventing Billions I evens, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,Flatulence,Habitu al Costiveness, Loss ot Appetite, Blotched or Sallow Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are exceedingly mild in their operation, producing j neither nausea, griping nor debilitv. ! The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a i highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No Ca.,March 3d, 1838: Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, By request of your agent, Mr. Harrison, 1 send you a few lines respecting the almost miraculous effects of your and I would I add, that you may make used 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 I years ; and so great awj the bcnefilswe have receiv ed from them in general, that I would rather pur | chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house j without them. I wdll not enumerate the afflictions j they have relieved us of; bull 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 i riod severely afflicted with dropsy in the chest and was brought by it to the very verge of the grate. 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 pecting ever}' 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 j who were witness of it, (but more especially the suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to miraculous; and yet I could mention many more of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills were equally successful in rescuing the patients from the jaws of death. Need 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 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. I am, with sen timents of regard, your ob’t servant. A. G. BANKS. To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upwards of fifteen j months, I have been cruelly afflicted with Fever i and Ague; and during the time could find nothing — though I 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 j of our best physicians, and I am most grateful and happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used two boxes when 1 found that they had restored me to perfect health. Since then, various members of m3' family have used them with equal success— and consequently I feel it 013’ duty to apprise you of the fact, and to request of you to publish this certificate, as 1 am anxious to add m3’ public testi mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un j 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 ciazen, (Mr. Lee.) where 1 found his son laboring under a most alarming attack of Cynanche Tracnealis (Cronp) and apparent 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 happ3’ effect that in a few minutes my patient was at ease, and out of danger. This case, in connection with m3’ name is at j our ser vice—and 1 have the pleasure to be able to inform 3’ou 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.

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo gart, of Providence, R. 1., Dec. 17, IS3S.—Peters’ are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi cine, those effects being produced by the differences of the quantily taken, and are decidedly superior to Lee’s, Brandretb’s or Morrison’s Pills. Extract from a letter bj’ Dr. Hopson of Bangor, Me , Jan. 9, 1539. They are a peculiarlj’ mild,yet efficient purgative medicine, and produce little, il any, griping or nausea.

Dr. Magnin soon finding that the Hernand was so vast as to render a supply impossible, de. posed of the recipe and right ot sale, under obi? t ions of secrecy, l«r England, the United Stale* and other countries,only preserving France and Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber pos sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and now hastens to give the inhabitants of his line cf agent* the benefits of his speculation. “Le Cordial Do Lueine,” or, in English, “fn e Luclna Cordial,” isa general invigorator of th e human frame ! In all the various cases of languor lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing reme dy; as ir is equally its province to impari cneerfu! ness and decision lo the mind, as health and vigor to the body But the peculiar virtue on which it* celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with which it restores the virile powers when they lave been destroyed by disease, time, recklessness,orany of the numerous causes which terminate in the prostration of ihose functions. In common with the generality of really good medicines, this Cordial contains nothing of a rner. curia! or rfcleterious nature, among the many inere dtents which compose it; but is, at the same time, so simple, vet so efficacious, that while it can reno-' vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an mfan may use it,not only with impunity, but with ad vantage.

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.

From an immense number of testimonials from the regular faculty, touching the virtues of the Cordial, 1 have in particular selected the following, which may be of use to you. You will also find a number of others of less importance inclosed. Thi» immediate cert ficaie is from a body of eight of the ablest medical practitioners in France.

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels October 3, 1837. To Dr. Magnin : —My dear friend—l arn rcos gratified at the unprecedented popularity ot you* “Luc na Cordial,” and arn able 10 bear testimony to its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently, 1 M , a gentleman ot fortune, who had lor several years abandoned himself in the vortex ot dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from U 4l length by the utter prostration of all bis virile ener gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity of debility and Uslelessness. for, if an occasional Hash of excitement wanned his system, the reac tion was almost immediate, and the result perfect prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrum* in such cases; but, as I had anticipated, without success ; and when 1 saw’ the “ Lucma Cordial advertised, 1 must confess that even the great weight of your name did not give rne much hope in it, least so far as regarded the case in hand. I le *J bound to try it, however, and was soon satisfied its efficacy ; for before a bottle was expended, mV patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ol his system ; and fie is now, having used four bottle*, as w ell is ever. The number of documents, such as the above j which have been received by Mr. Magnin, sinc-eth® first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lueine.” would fill a volume as large as the Bible.
