A CERTAIN cure FOR THE '
Itch!
No Article ever introduced to public notice has been
found to anslrcr a better purpose, or been more highly ap
proved, than Ike Justly celebrated
JMinitries’ Itcli Ointment.
SO great and extended haa become its reputation, that
dealers are ordering it front all parts of the country,
as a temedy which gives their customers the highest
satisfaction.
JO”A Student !—connected with one of our Liter
ary Institutions, where this loathsome disease had ap
peared, observes, that Dumfries’ Itch Ointment extermi
nated it, after various ottier applications had failed to do
so, and it had in consequence gained a reputation in that
Seminary, and vicinity, as the best remedy known for tkt
Itch!
v This preparation, for pleasantness, safety, expedi
tion, ease and certainty, is unsurjiassed, if equalled. It
does not contain the least particle of mercury, or othet
dangerous ingredient, and may be applied with perfect
safely by pregnant females, or to children at the breast,
and it cures, however inveterate, in
One Hour’s Application only!—And no
danger from taking cold.
It is also one of the best applications for a h jmor, in
form of a ring-worm, known by the name of the Bxrbcnr’
Iren, and is excellent for Pimples, and diseases of the
skin generally.
Price 25 cents a box, with ample directions,

ACADEMY OF RICHMOND COUNTY.
FINHE Trustees of this institution are happy to
S have it in their power to state, that both the
principal Academy- in Augusta, and the branch at
Summerville, have resumed their exercises, under
the management of Teachers who have the lull
confidence of the Trustees, and who, they are sa
tisfied, are fully entitled to that of the public.
Mr. Erxenputsch, the Rector of the Academy,
already favorably known to the community, has
charge of the Classical department and all the
branches of education requisite for admission to
our best Colleges. His attainments as a scholar
and success in imparting useful knowledge, emi
nently qualify him for the discharge of the im
portant duties of his station.
Mr. Ring, the principal English Teacher, re
cently engaged by the Board, comes with the high
est recommendations as to character, talents, lite
rary attainments and skill in teaching, and the
Trustees feel assured that he will sustain the re
putation which led to Ins selection.
The branch of the Academy at Summerville is
under the immediate management of Mr. Frank
lin George, a gentleman of experience in teach
ing, and highly recommended. The advantage of
the location of this branch of the Academy in one
of the most healthful neighborhoods in the State,
and sufficiently remote from the unfavorable in
fluence of a crowded town, are too well known to
need comment.
On the whole, the Board confidently recommend
to the public the principal Academy and the Branch
at Summerville, as being on a better footing than
they have heretofore been, and promising great
usefulness to those who may avail themselves of
the advantages which they offer.

MOFFAT'S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES f
fITHESE medicines are indebted for their name
A to lh« ir manifest and sensible action in puri
fying the spring and channels ol life, ami enduing
them with renewed tone and vigor. In raanv hun
dred certified cases which has been made public,
and in almost even species of disease to which
rhe human frame is liable, the bappv effects of
MOFFAT’S LIFE PILLS AND PIIENIX HIT
TERS have been gralefully and publicly ac
knowledged by the persons beuefiiUeil, and who
were previously unacquainted with the beau'itully
philosophical principles upon which they are
compounded, and upon which they Suiisequemly
act.
The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases of every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coats of the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities eon tamly settling around them ; and to
remove the hardened faeces which collect
cunvolusions of the smallest intestines. Other
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costivemss with ell its train ofevils.or in a sud
den d arrheea, with its eminent dangers. This fact
is well known to all regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death ; and henie
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack medicines—or 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 of the urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red color from
the agency of the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the heat, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming Irom a clean stom
ach, courses freely through 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 Consump
tion. Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and other disagreeable
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common
Colds and influenza and various other complaints
which afflict the humar frame, in fever and
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been
mostemmenlly successful; so much so that in the
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All that iMr. Moffat requires of his patient is
to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according to the directions. It is not by a news
paper notice, or any thing that he himself may say
in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is
alone by the result of a fair trial.

Radical Cure ol Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
fITHE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
1 stoic 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 ol 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, w-ithout 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. Phase 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.”
Personsfrom a distance can have the instruments
applied, upon application at the otlice, 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 someresponsiJJ
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, and
does not belong to the family of quack medicines;
for the reason that the component parts are maue
known to the faculty, or any- one else that may
w-ish 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 tc
be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosuiu
tiian for one to offer 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 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 will do for othcis what they
have done for such as mav have used them; as
.his 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 other
kind ; many will recollect with what trembling
anxiety calomel has been given to children, aiid
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
a<certaine J that .aey comameu 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- w-ould 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 sy-stem with a
mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato
Pill, of w-hich a supply, w-e learn, will soon be in
lus city. We ali know something aoout this.

ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to curein Five Days. \
fIIHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so ,
JL long known, and used with such unparrallcled
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 its own name from the certain
success hich has attended it through all of its
trying c cumstances, namely, “live days,” —the
same su jess 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. Chevercs, 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 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 conlidence 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. Clio verct, 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,

is to subdue every vestige of inllamation, and then
acts mildly and copiously as a diuretic; thereby
holding within itself, every requisite virtue, for
the suhduction of this loathsome malady —and ev
ery regular graduate in medicine, will sustain the
assertion, that copious diuresis and reduction of in
flation, are the only two things necessary to effect
a'sound and radical cure
The most peculiar virtue of the “Cinq Jours,”
is in this, that wherever it alone has been used to
alfect 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, humot
alis, incontinence, and a swarm of other of the
most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis
eases, consequent upon erroneous diagnosis and
treatment of Gonorrhoea.
Those affected are requested to call and try for
themselves. If the prescriptions are well follow

returned.

1 HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
i remedy for this distressing compaint is every day
i gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
t That so ru tch suffering should have existed for ages
i, without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or
I cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S.
a now assures the public that such a remedy has been
1 invented as will convince the most credulous. The
principles on w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is
a ana milled fact that this complaint, whether called
D Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach —those who think they have
r 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 the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of jhe 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,
n and the sooner sufferers w iih the headache become
y convinced of it, the sootier will their suffering end
a in restoration of health. Dr. Spohn pledges his

O. COSBY’S DYSPEPTIC BITTERS,
PERHAPS there .s nothing mor* calculated to I
disgust tne public eye than the innumerable U
advertisements of nostrums that are constantly ap
pearing in the public prints. All are ready to ex- y
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 c
of delicate mind from sending forth any new- dis-
coveries in medicine, to the trial of the public.— a
Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from
making known real discoveries, which we are con-
fident will benefit our fellow men. This latter n
consideration has prompted die author of these bit-
ters to make t hem 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. Coshy was '
troubled for many years, but «as restored to health a
by the use of these hitters. This has been the case
with many of his fri* nds. Mr. Coshy in sending I
forth this advertisement, addresses those who know r
him. Hu has been for many years a resident of a
Augusta, at which place he can at any time b» c
consulted about the bitters. They are good in all t
eases of diseases of the digestive organs, the symp
toms of which are indigestion, pain or oppression i
in the stomach from food, lossot appetite, llatulcn
cv, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the <
side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
ness, disturbed sleep, <fec The composition is en- J
tirely Botanical, and has proved efficacious w hen i
many celebrated medicines had failed. In support
of which he refers them to Freeman \V. Lacy, she
riff of Richmond count ', and William T. Thomp
son, editor of the Aiuusta Mirror, and he might re
fer you to many others, but deems it unnecessary,
as he is willing to place it on its own merits. All
he asks is lor tnose who are afflicted with the dys
pepsia to give it a trial.
They can be had at T. tl. Plant’s book-store,
Augusta, and of O. Cosby himself, at the corner of
Washington and Ellis-strects.

fIIHE great celebrity of this unrivalled (’ornpo
j siiion,espccial!y 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 th? best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed and certainty of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles ; as ulcers, wounds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, while 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, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperate casesut 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 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 medieine heretofore discovered for the
chafed 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 lot of man or
beast.

certificates, and other documents, in favor of Ins

which were written by resjiectable members of the

Dear Sir— My daughter, a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn thecomp aint that physicians
termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, independent of
every other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, I applied your ointment to the
affhcled part ; and 1 thank God that my child is
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is
getting her hair as fast as can be expected. The
cure was effected in rather less than two months ;
during whtcn time J used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; 1 had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
duung the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever. MARY HOWARD.
1 hereby substantiate the truth ol the above
statement CHRISTOPHER HOWARD.
1 know the above statement to be cotrect, and 1
can add from experience that “ Harrison’s Specific
Ointment,” is an excellent medicine for external
complaints MATTHEW PERRIN.

Dear Sir—l have to request of yon to forward
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most
immediate conveyance, and w ithout regard to the
expense of carriage, as I am quite out, and much
in want of it.—Y ou know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore 1 shall only add,
mat further experience has increased my enthusi
asm and established me in the opinion, that it is su
perior to any remedy extant for external diseases, j

Dr. Harrison.
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as 1 have used none other
in my rather extensive practice forseveral years, and
if you think it would be to your advantage, 1 can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures which it lias effected under my own imme
diate inspection : the last being one of a severe
and apparently perpetual ulcer,m the back of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di
vision street, which it completely healed in twenty
onedays. My present chief object in writing to
you, is to learn who is your authorised agent in this
city, lor, 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.
Y’our obedient servant,

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 w here 1 have had no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
lows, piles, &c., it is mv universal 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
Y’ours respectfully,

general outward complaints. I speak of its merits
from an experience ut lour years.”

f IAHESE Pills are no longer among those of doubt- 1
A ful utility. They have passed away from the 1
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 1
Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine that ;
has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering )
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
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, who
are the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this medicin
been the subject of editorial comment, in variou
newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be
asserted,that no medicine of the kinl has ever re
ceived testimonials of greater value thin arc at
tached to this.
They are in general use as a family medicine
and there are,thousands of families who declare they
rc never satisfied until they have a supply always
on hand.
They have no rival in caring and preventing

The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No
Ca.,March 3d, IS3S:
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, Byrequostof your agent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of your piPs; and 1 would
add, that you may make use ol 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 ape 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 enumeraie the afflictions
they have relieved us of; but I can assure you the}'
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. 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 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 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
pecting 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
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 1 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 Bai
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 ctuclly afflicted with Fever
and Ague; and during the time could find nothing—
though I had .applied to every thing that gave me
any tiling like permanent relief. At length, how
ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
of our best physicians, and 1 am most grateful and
happy in being able to add, that I had scarcely used
two boxes when 1 found that they had restored me
to perfect health. Since then, various members of
my family have used them with equal success —
and consequently I feel it my duty to apprise you
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.

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 sou laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cynanche Tracnealis (Croup) and apparently 7 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 1 administered, 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 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 1 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 effects being produced by the differences
of the quantity taken, and are decidedly superior
to Lee’s, Brandi eth’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 Lib
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
liarly7 iniluential in costiveness and all the usual
diseases of the digestive organs.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Edw. Smith of Mon
treal, U. (J., Sept. 27,1836’ —1 neverknew a single
patent medicine that 1 could put the least confi
dence in but Dr. Peters’ Vegetable Pills, which are
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.
C., March ti, 1837.—F0r bilious fevers, side 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.—1 have received much as
sistance in my practice—especially in jaundice and
yellow fever, from the use of Peters’ Pills. 1 pre
sume that, on an average, I prescribe 100 boxes in
a month
Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson,
N. V., 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 efficient medicine, and I must
acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully respond
to ray expectations. They are indeed a superior
medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist
the Physician, and the Philosopher.

Having used Dr. Peters’ Pills in my practice for
he last twelve months, 1 take pleasure in giving
my testimony ot their good effects in cases of dvs
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

1 -1: CORD IAI I>E LIJ CIN E.
OU L’ ELIXIR HE L’AMOUR.
rpilE subscriber has the p'easnreol .announcing
JL In the citizens of the U. States, that, be has
purchased, fora very large sum and from the in
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, ol Paris hi*
recipe ar d right, for making this astonishing nude
cine. Until the appearance of the 44 Lucina Cor
dial,- ’ {about three years since,) it was thought tha»,
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
nil parts oi the world. This Cordial, however, to
the great advantage of the human race,soon proved
itself to hethe desideratum so long sought for; nnd
accordingly, notwithstanding tl e h riel peri d of its
existence, it has required a celebrity so great, that
it is eagerly inquired for throughout tHe civilized
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding thal the demand
was so vast as to render a supply impossible, dis
posed of the recipe and right of sale, under oblige,
lions of secrecy, for England, the United States,
and other countries,only preserving France siul
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber p os .
sussed himself of the invaluable secret; and now
hastens to give ihe inhabit ants of his line of agents,
the benefits of his speculation.
“le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “the
Lucira Cordial,” isa 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 Rut the peculiar virtue on which its
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they have
hem destroyed by disease, time, recklessness, or any
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this Cordial contains nothing of a n:or
curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingro
dients which compose it; but is, at the same nmc,
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can reno
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an mfan
may use it,not only with impunity, hut with ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such,
that, notwithstanding the bm< fits which would be
sure to result from it, we eannotenler into an analy
sis ol this ine liraahle Cordial here, or publish many
of t lie documents which have been received, as
vouchers ot the blessings it has conferred on num
bers of despairing individuals. But this wc cannot
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, it any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
t he procreantfunctions,incither sex ; and therefore,
that thoseevils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued and removed by the
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also in indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albas, obstructed, diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon
tinence ol 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 ol the aged.
Most imp riant to the American Public.
The United States proprietor of the celebrated
“ I .ucina Cordial,” or 44 Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the following certificate,
which he has received from the inventor, ihe illus
trious Dr. Magain.of Paris •
“ Thu is to certify,that I have disposed of the
recipe for lurking ihe “Luc.na Cordial,” or
44 Elixir of Love,” and also ihe right to sell it
throughout ihe l niled Stales of North America,
to John Winters Holderwell, M 1). My reasons
for so doing is, that ihe demands to me for the above
Cordial, ot 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 other
certificates of a like nature in order to generalise
the benefits of my discovery throughout ihe world.
Given under my hand at Paris,on this nineteenth
day of January, in the year of our Lord,

From an immense number of tcsiimonials from

Cordial, 1 have in particular selected the following,
which may be of use to you. You will also find a

ablest medical practitioners in France.
'To Dr. Magnin, inventor of the Lucina Cordial, or
Elixir of Love
Respected and Honored Bir:—We have all in a
variety of cases, tested the- emurkable effects oi
your great discovery, and have assembled lor the
purpose of bearing evidence to the tacts, and tend
ering you the honor which is your due. The
“Lucina Cordial” is in our opinion, an infallible
remedy for the prostration oflhe Procreant f unc
tions, and Artificial Barrenness : and therefore must
prove a blessing to the human race. We ca also
bear evidence that there is nothing in it of a mer
curial or deleterious nature ; and m short, ll r it is
one of the noblest medicinal discoveries of any age

I am now on the w rong side of eighty, and yet 1
could be on my honor or oath if necessary, that a
hot tie or two of your Cordial of Love lias mademe
feel as vigorous as a buy of five and twenty. 1
think you have discovered ibe “Elixir of Lite,'
which the alchy mists have been so lung in quest ol;
am! that {pardon myofficiousncM,) you should have
named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin: —My dear friend— l an mos
gratified al (he unprecedented popularity ol your
“Lucina Cordial,” and am able to bear testimony to
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently,
J M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had lor
several years abandoned himself in the vortex oi
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it ßt
length by the utter prostration of all his virileener
gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity
ot debility and tastelessness, lor, if au
Hash of excitement warmed fus system, the reac
tion was almost immediate,and the result periecl
prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrum’
in such cases ; but, as 1 had anticipated, wtliuff
success ; and when 1 saw the “ Lucina Cordial
advertised, I must confess that even the great weight
of your name did not give me much hope in i*, st
least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1
bound lo try it, however, and was soon satisfied o'
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended,
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ul
his system ; ami be is now, having used four bottle- 4 *
as wet Its ever.
The number of documents, such as Ihe above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, sinceih®
first appearance ol 44 Le Cordial de Lucine,” would
