The LIFE MEDICINIS recommend themselves I in diseases of every form nnd description. Their first oferation is to loosen from the coats ol the stomach and bowels, the various impurities ami crudities eon tantly settling around them ; and to I remove ihe hardened fasces w hich collect | con collisions of the smallest intestines. Other m-dicines only partially cleanse these, and leave such collected masses behind as to produce lialnlu al costiveness wilh 11 its train ofevils. or in a sud den d arrhona, w ith its eminent dangers. This fact is weli known to ail regular anatomists, who ex amine ihe human bowels after death ; and heme the prejudice of those well informed men against quack medicines —or medicines prepared and her laded to the public bv ignorant j* rsons. 'I he se condeffect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the ! kidneys and the bladder, and hy this means, the | liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary ; organs. The blocd, which takes its red color Irom the agency of the liver and the lungs before it passes into the heat, being thus purifiid by tliem and nourished by food coming from 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 Lite Medicines have been thoroughly altered, 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.

In fever and ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been raostemmently successful; so much so that in the Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni versally prescribe them. All that Mr. 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 nonce, or any thigg that lie himself may say in their lavor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is alone hy the resul of a fair trial, MOFFAT’S MEDICAL .MANUAL; designed as a domestic guide to health.—This little pamphlet edited by W. B.

Robertson fxCo., for the treatment of Hernia or R.uplure, 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 I affection, by the use of these Trusses,besides many i others who are in a fairway of being entirely re j 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, without material inconvenience to the patient, and often under trials more severe than are usually ventured upon by those who wearcthei 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 hemn, and as furnishing the highest chance* 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 Df. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best yet invented to effect the object.” Persons froca 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 soraeresponsi* ble person, of their pecuniary disability.

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 long 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 ausutu than for one to offer meal from the corn stalk, to say nothing of the difficulty of raising tire 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 vloubtlcss 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, and how they then wished for a substitute. It has long been known that the Tomato contained ca thartic principles, but not until of late was it ascertained that tney couiaineu 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 they would be bound to reject the medicine, as they justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of the day. If you wish to cleanse the system with a mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon be in lus city.

Its known and valued virtues have already enriched to an a'most incredible extent the children of this warlike piince, 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 a? near as it can be anglisized of the deed given by Wabenoshc, to 31.

Besides this important advantage, they never disagree with the stomach, and in the first stages of the disease they usually effect a cure in a few days, with little regard to diet or exposure.

SFOHN, a German pnysician of much note, naving devoted ms attention for some years to tne cure and removal of Ihe causes of N EK VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis faction to make known, that be has a remedy which by removing the causes cures effectually and perma nently this distressing complaint. There are many families w ho have considered Sick Headache a con stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as sures them that ihey are mistaken, and labouring under distress which tncy might not only alleviate, but actually eradicated by the use jf his remedy. It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely of a different clKiiacter 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 lor ages without any discovery of 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 w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is an a. mined 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 lias become vitiated or debilitated, llnoogh 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, 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. Tne remedy may be had of apothecaries generally throughout the United Stales. For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 Broau-sirect, Augusta. mar 26 O.

C nov 30 jy rWIHE great celebrityof this unrivalled Compo- I sit ion,especially in the Northern States, leaves the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its favor; for it has been generally conceded to it,that it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for ex ternal complaints that has ever been discovered. Indeed the'speed and certainly of its operations, have the appearance of miracles ; as ulcers, wouuds, corns, fever sores,chilblains, w hite swellings, biles, piles,spider ;and snake bites, &c. «sec., immediately yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, if 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 cases of w bite swelling that can he ima gir ed, have lieen destroyed by it m 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 medicine 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 so the lot of man or beast. The proprietor has received it least a thousand certificates, and other documents, in favor of his “ Specific Ointm nt,” upwards of a hundred of which were written by respectable members of the Medical Faculty.

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, Irom whom I used to purchase it, having tailed and gone out of bust- 1 ness, I am fearful if 1 purchase at random, that 1 ! may be imposed on by a counterfeit.

They have passed away from the hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of experiment, and now stand before the public as bi-h in reputation, and as extensively employed in all parts of the United Stales, the Canadas, Texa* 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! upward? of five hundred of which are from regular practising physicians, who are the must 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 trutii be asserted,that no medicine of the kin 1 has ever re ceived testimonials of greater value thin are at tached to this. They are in general use as a family medicine md there are,thou sands of families who declare they re never satisfied until they have a supply always on hand. 1 hey have no rival in curing and preventing Biliious Fevers, Fevcrand Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles, Choiic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bowels, IncipientDiarrtHEa.Fialulcnce, 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 are exceedingly mild in their operation, producing neither nausea, griping nor debilitv. The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No Ca.,March 3d,1835: Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, By request of youragent, Mr. Harrison, I send you a lew lines respecting the almost miraculous effects of your pil's; and I would add, that you may make use ol them, in connection with my name, in any manner you deem proper, I I speak of their merits from experience, as I and my j family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three ; } ears ; and so great ape the benefits we have receiv ed from them in general, that I would rather pur- I chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house i without them. I will not enumerate the afflictions 1 they have relieved us of; but I can assure you they : were many, and of very opposite natures, which has fully proved to me that your medicine is a sim ple purifier of the system, and therefore equally the enemy of every disease. I will mention one case. I have a sister who had been for a pc i riod severely afflicted with dropsy in the chest and j was brought by it to the very verge of the grave. I 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 i fortune, however, as she was in this situation, ex pect ng every day to be her last, your pills were introduced into my family, and so speedy and pal pable were their effects that three dosesVisiblv re lieved her, and in less than three months she was i perfectly restored to health. This case, I and all who were witness of it, (but more especially the sufferin'; party,) considered to Le the next thing to miraculous; and yet I < ou.u mention many more of an equally desperate nature, in which ycurpiils were equally successful in rescuing the patients fiorn the jaws of death. Need I add’that t;.e popu larity of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in this section of the country ; But this I presume you know from the immense quantity jou 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 Kai 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, I have been cruelly afflicted with Fever and Ague; and during the time could find nothing— ! though I had applied to every thing that gave me i 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 I feel it my duty to apprise you j of the fact, and to request of you to publish this certificate, as lam anxious to add my public testi j raony 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. j H. Irwii of Florence, Georgia: Dr. J. P. Peters—My DearSir—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 (Cronp) and apparently be yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for j tune, however, I had in ray pocket a broken box of your pills —four of which I administere 1, with such immediate happy effect that in a lew minutes my patient was at ease, and out of danger. This case,in connection with my name is at your ser vice—and I have the pleasure to be able to infoim you that your inestimable medicine is in such great favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is ! not one of them who does not use it in his private i practice.

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo j gart, of Providence, R. 1., Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’ pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi -1 cine, those effects being produced by the differences j of the quantify taken, and are decidedly superior to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.

In common with the generality of really good medicines, this C ordial contains nothing of a mer curial or deleterious nature, among the many mgre dients which compose it ; but is, at the same time bo simple, yet so « ffioacious, that while it can retij vate the prostrated energies of a giant, on infan may use it,not only with impunity, but with ad vantage. The usages of society are unfortunately such ' that, notwithstanding the benefits who h would be sure to result from it, we cannot enter into an armlv sis ol this ine-tiraable Cordial here, or publish many of thedocuments which have been received, ag voucher* of ihe blessings ii has conferred on num ber- of despairing individuals. But this we cannot forbear remarking—that it ha* been demomiraied that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all, a* natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of the procreant functions, in either sex; and therefore, lhatthrseevils are the effects of artificial causes, and may be speedily subdued and removed by the u.~e ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” The Lucina Cordial is also tn indubitable cure for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus,obstructed, diffi cult, or painful Menstruation; also, for the incon tinence ot Urine,or the involuntary discharge there ■ 01.

As you requested me to state the number of bot tles ol the “ Lucina Cordial," which I have already sold, I have referred to ray bocks, and find it totx. ceed four hundred thousand ; while the orders now on hand cannot be supplied in less than three months. From an immense number of testimonials from the regular faculty, touching the virtues of the Cordial, I have in particular selected the following, which may be of use to you. You will also find a number ol othersof less importance inclosed. This immediate cert ficate is from a body of eight of th« ablest medical praciilioners in France.

I i think you have discovered the “Elixir of Life,’ which the alchy mists have been so long in quest of; ant. that (pardon ray officioirsncss,! you should have named it accordingly. From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels October 3, 1837. To Dr. Mognin :—My dear friend—l am raos gratified at Ihe unprecedented popularity ol your “Luc aa Cordial,” and am able to feear testimony to its surprising virtue, i had a patient recently, I M , agenileman ol fortune, who had lor several years abandoned tnrasell in the vortex ot dissipation; and was only reclaimed from it »t length by the utter prostration of ail his virileener gies. He was, indeed, reduced to the last ext reran J of debility and t istelessness, for, if an occasional flask of excitement w armed his system, the reac tion was almost immediate,and the result ported prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrum* in such ca*es ; but, as 1 bad anticipated, without success; and when i saw the “Lucina Cordial advertised, 1 must confess lhal even ihe great weight of your name d:d not give me much hiq»e in it,,* 1 least so far as regarded the rase in hand. 1 felt bound to try it,however,and was soon satisfied ol its efficacy; for bofure a bottle was ex}teniled, my patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ol iris system ; and lie is now, lowing used four bottles, as wellts ever. The number of documents, such ns the above w hich have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the first appearance of “ Lc Cordial de Lucine,” would fill a volume as large as the Bible.
