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.

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.

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. MOFFAT’B MEDICAL MANUAL ; designed as a domestic guide to health.—This little pamphlet edited by W. B Moffat 37a Broadway New York, ba° been published lor the purpose of explaining more fully Mr. Moffat’s theory of diseases, and will lie found highly interesting to persons seeki g health.

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. feb 20 F. M. ROBERTSON, M. D. 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.

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.

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.

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.

C tiov 30 ly 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. The proprietor has received nt least a thousand certificates, and other documents, in favor of Ins “ Specific Ointm nt,” upwards of a hundred of which were written by resjiectable members of the Medical Faculty.

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, EDWARD RAMSEY, M. D. Cincinnati, August 9,1837. 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, HENRY JACOBS. M. D. Extract of a letter from Dr. J. W.

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 Billions Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, tsick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,Flatulence,Habitu al Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or Sallow Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or aperient is needed They arc exceedingly mild in their operation, producing neither nausea, griping nor debility. 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. Augusta, Ga., Feb 10, 1839. Communication received from the eminent Dr. J. H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia : Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear Sir —On the night of the 11th inst., I was called in great haste to the house of a fellow 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.

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.

(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.

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.

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, eighteen hundred and thirty eight. ERASTE MAGNIN. Gaspard Delluc, ) William Merritt,} Witnesses. Postscript to the above. As you requested me to state the number of bo'- lies ol the “ Lucina Cordial,” w hich 1 have already sold, I have referred to my books, and find it loti ceed four bundled thousand ; while ihe orders now on hand cannot be supplied in less than three months. From an immense number of tcsiimonials from tiie 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. This immediate cert.ficate is from a body of eight of the 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 W ith feelings of admiration and respect wc ro ! main,dear sir, your obed ent servants, Jusselin Bossuit, 1 Jean Blanc, Sigismond de la Martine, | Robert Stevenson, Adrien Decrand, j Louis Ouiscau, Octave Nicolt, j Pierre Huffen Extract of e fetter from the elebrated Talleyrand, »o Dr. Magnin. 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 fili a volume as large as the Bible.
