CINQ JOURS,
OR
ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHfEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
riMUS incomparable and invaluable remedy «o
A- long known, and used with such unparralleled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeais, ap
pears to need no panegyric. Us operation upon the
human system is such that it invariably acts like
a charm, for the relief and radical cure of a certain
common and disagreeable “ills the flesh is heir to.”
This prize obtains its own name from the certain
success which has attended it through all of its
trying circumstances, namely, “five days,”—the
same success which followed it in a Northern lati
tude still obtains in a more Southern. The formula
or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue
and hazard by M. Cheveres, from the celebrated
Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst
he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
siness in the North-west with the Indians. —
Wabcnoshe prized highly and use it with invariable
success throughout his two tribes. Its known and
valued virtues have already enriched to an almost
incredible ex tent the children of this warlike prince,
not only by actual sale of the article itself to in
dividuals, but by parting with copies of his receipt
at enormous prices to the Chief of every tribe of
Indians in America, with a solemn promise to the
Great Spirit, never to divulge the “art of its com
position until he sleeps with his fathers,” although
free to use it in their respective tribes, which
places it in the hands of every Indian who rely
with, I may say, religious confidence on its cura
ble powers.
Below is a copy of the translation as near as it can
be anglisized of the deed given by Wabenoslic, 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 lime
which is consumed in preparing the article for im
mediate use.
TBANII.ATION.
“I, Wabcnoshe, Chief of the nations Ottown and
Chippewa, fur 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,) 1
give to him my greatest cure for the bad sickness
which my children have had sent among them as
a punishment by the Great Spirit,and hope that in
his hands it may do much good, and make him very
rich.”

This Medicine,! warrnit by this publication,un
der a penalty of $5,000, not to contain one parti
cle of corrosive preparation. It is purely vegata
hlc in its essences. Its first and prominent virtue
is to subdue every vestige of inflam:.tiun, and then
acts mildly and copiously as a diuretic; thereby
holding within itself, every requisite virtue, for j
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, arc 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
affect 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, humor- i
alis, incontinence, and a swarm of other of the i
most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis- i
oases, consequent upon erroneous diagnosis and i
treatment of Gonorrhoea. j
Those affected arc requested to call and try for i
themselves. If the prescriptions are well follow- 1
cd and fail to cure, the money will in every case be 11
returned. t
Yon can do what you please and cat what you 6
please. t

TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF i
FAMILIES. (
DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF r
TOMATO—a substitute for Calomel, and t
dues not belong to the family of quack medicines;
for the reason that the component parts arc made I
known to the faculty, or any one else that may
wish to know, hy any of the agents keeping them
for sale. Binec this discovery so long and anx
iously looked fur, some one in almost the extreme
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to
he made from the stalk, a thing not more absurd (
than fur one to offer meal from the corn stalk, to >
say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato I
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the
Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of c
which, lie holds himself bound, and in honor pledg- s
ed to prove by their use, that they arc all that they 1
profess to be, and will do for othcis what they «
have done for such as mav have used them; as I
this is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will 1
doubtless be valuable information to families to
know that the Yellow are just doubly as valuable 1
as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much 1
of the hapatine, or active principle, and when used 1
as a daily vegetable will be found to keep the
system in much better condition than the oilier 1
kind ; many will recollect with what trembling 1
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 they contained alterative and diu
retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use
the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that
they know what it is Were it a patent mystery,
they would be bound to reject the medicine, as they
justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of the
day. If you wish to cleanse the system with a
mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato
Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon be in
this city. We all know something about this,

Radical Cure of Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.
('base’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
11 H E subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson & Co., for the
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means of these
ustly celebrated instruments, lie 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 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, without material inconvenience to the
patient, and often under trials more severe than
are usually ventured upon by those who wearuther
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 i r . our own city.
“ All must admit of the radical cure of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses arc decidedly the best
yet invented tootled the object.”
Persons from 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 sotneresponsi*
ble person,of their pecuniary disability. *
The instruments are of ali sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture,

DU. E. SPOHN, n German physician of much
note, having devoted his attention for some
years to Ihoeure and removal oft he causes of NER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis
faction to make known, that he has a remedy which
by removing the causes cures effectually and perraa- !
neatly this distressing- complaint. There are many !
families who have considered Sick Headache aeon* j
stilutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as- .
sures (hem that they are mistaken, and labouring- 1
under dis.ross which they might not only alleviate, ,
but actually eradicated by the use of his remedy.
It is the result ol sen liltlic research, and is entirely :
of a different diameter Imm advertised patent medi- \
cities, and is nut unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, Hit K OH NKItVOUS.
The extraordinary repulalion that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing compaint Is every day
gaining is certainly n mailerol niuch aslonisliment,
Thar so in ich sulferirig should have existed forages
without any discovery of an elfcclual preventivj, or
cure, is truly n subject of much regret hut Dr. S.
now assures Ihe public that such a remedy has been
invented us will convince the most ciedulotis. The
principles on w hu b it nets are .simple and plain. It is
an a milted fact that this complaint, whether 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 tin first cause, that th*sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, ilnuugh the
stomach, and that only through the sumo channel
must they expect s restoration ul the natural and
healthy functions ol the system. This object, Dr.
Spoint's remedy is eminently calculated to attain.
The truth of this position cannot ho controverted,
and Iho 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 fuel. The remedy
may bo hud of apothecaries generally throughout

found possible to carry them ; and there are but

evidences of theirgned effects. The certificates
that have been presented to the proptietor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of live hundred of
which are from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent Judges of their merits.

Ca,March 3d, 1838:
Dr. r aters —Dear Sir, —By requestor your agent,
Mr. f arrison, 1 send you a few lines respecting the
, almost miraculous effects of your pit's j and I would
a-d, that you may make use ol them, in connection
with my name, in any manner you deem proper, 1
speak of their merits from experience,as I and my
family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
years; and so great are the benefits we have receiv
ed from them in general, that I would rather pur
chase them at ten dollars abox than have my house
without them. I will not enumerate the afflictions
they have relieved us of; but 1 can assure you they
were many, and of very opposite natures, which
has fully proved to me that your medicine is a sim
ple purilier 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

was brought by it to the very verge of the grave.
She was attended by the most eminent physicians
I that money could procure; but all their effort* 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, cx
■j peeling every day to he 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, 1 and all
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 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 12miles from Ral
eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen
timents of regard, your ob’t servant.

To Dr. Peters, —Sir—For upwards of fifteen
months, 1 have been cruelly afflicted with Fever
and Ague; and during the time could And nothing—
though Iliad applied to every thing that gave me
any thing like permanent relief. At length, how
ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
of our best physicians, and I am most grateful and
happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used
two boxes when 1 found that they had restored me
to perfect health. Since then, various members of
my family have used them with equal success—
aud consequently I feel it my duty to apprise you
of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
certificate, as 1 am anxious to add my public testi
mony to tlie almost miraculous virtues of your un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,

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 citizen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found
his son laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cynanchc Tracnealis (Croup) and apparently 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 I administered, with
such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes
my patient was at case, 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 I 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 arc 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, Urandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.
Extract from a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor,
Mo , Jan. 9, 1839. They are apeculiarly 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 bil
lions fever.
Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams ol
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
liarly influential in costiveness aud ail the usual
diseases of the digestive organs.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Edw Smith of Mon
treal, U. C., Sept. 27,1836. —1 neverknev a single
patent medicine that I could put the least confi
dence in but Dr. Peters’ Vegetable Pills, which are
really a valuable discovery. 1 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 6, 1837. —For bilious fevers, sick head
ache, torpidity of ihe bowels, and enlargement of
the spleen, Dr. Peters’ Pills are an excellent medi
cine.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Gurney of New Or
leans, La„Oct. 9,1837. —I have received much as
sistance in my practice—especially in jaundice and
yeliow fever, from the use of Peters’ Pills. I pre
sume that, on an average, 1 prescribe 100 boxes in
a month
Extractor a fetter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson,
N. Y., Juae 3, 1836.—1 was aware that Dr. Peters ,
was one of the best chemists in the United States,
and felt assured that he would some day (from his
intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs
and drugs) produce anelflcientmedicine,andlmust
acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully respond
to my expectations. They are indeed a superior
medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist,
the Physician, and the Philosopher.
Kxtractof a letter from Dr. Waines of Cincin
nati, Feb. 2,183 S.—Your Pills are the mildest in
their operations, and yet most powerful in uieir ef
fects, of any that I have ever met with in a practice
of eight aud twenty years. Their action on the
chyle, and hence on the impurities of the blood, is
evidently very surprising.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Scott of Baltimore,
Dec. 17,1836. —1 am in the daily habit of prescri
bing them, (Peters’Pills) and they in nearly all
cases answered my purpose. 1 have discarded other
medicines, some of them very good ones, in their
favor.
Charlottjc, N.C., Jan. 1, 1837.
Dear Sir —I have made frequent use of your Pills
in the incipient stage of bilious fever, and obsti
nate constipation of the bowels; also, in the en
largement of the spleen, chronic diseases of the
liver, sick head-ache, general debility, and in all
case have found them to be very effective.

Having used Dr. Peters’ Pi Is in my practice for
he last twelvemonths, 1 take pleasure in giving
my testimony of their good effects in casesof dys
pepsia, sick head-achc, bilious fevers, and other
diseases, produced by inactivity of the liver. They
are a safe ana mild aperient, being the best article
of the kind 1 ever used.

the proficietor (ml little need to say any thing in its
favor: for it has been generally conceded to it,thrt
ills beyond all compmison the best remedy for rx

Indeed Ibejspocd nud certainty of its operations,

corns, fever sores, chilblains, white swellings, biles,
piles,spider nod snake bites,die. die., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, it prop

break and heal a bile in five days, will allay and
perfectly euro an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperate casesof white swelling that cun bo ima
gined have boon destroyed by it in loss than two
months. Imho biles of poisonous reptiles its efli
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 hack 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.

if you think it would be to your advantage, 1 can

cine Until the oppeaianei ..f the • Li.cina Cor.
dial,” (about three yen,> since,) it wits thought that
Ihe complaints, which it speedily ovi retimes, were
beyond the reach ol human remedy as for upwards
of a thousand ytnrs. they bad bullied the wisdom
and ingenuity of the must profound physicians in
all pans ol the world. This Cordial, however, to
Ihe great advantage of the human race,toon proved
itself to be the desideratum so long sought for; and
accordingly, notwithstanding lie brief period of its
existence, it has required a celebrity so great, that
it Is eagerly inquired lor throughout the civilized
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the demand
was so vast as to render a supply impossible, dis
posed of the recipe and right ol sale, under obliga
tions of secrecy, far England, the United States,
and other countries, only preserving Franco and
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber pos
sessed himself ol theinvnluable secret; and now
hastens to give the inhabitants of his lined'agency /
the benefits of his speculation.
“le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “tho
Lncica Cordial,” in a general invigorator of the
human frame! In all tire various cases of languor,
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing reme
dy ; as it it equally its province to impart cheerful
ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor
to the body. But the peculiar virtue on which ita
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they have
been destroyed hy disease.time, recklessness, or any
of the numerous causes which terminate in Ihe
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this( ordial conta.ns nothing of a ncerj
curia! or deleterious nature, among the many ingre
dients which compose it; but is, at the same lime,
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can reno
vate the prostrated energiesof a giant, an infant
may use it,not only with impunity, but with ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such,
that, notwithstanding the benefits which would b«
sure to result from it, we cannotenler into an analy
sis of this ine-timable Cordial hero, or publish many
of the documents which have been received, as
vouchor* of Ihe blessings it has conferred on num
bers of despairing individuals. But t his we cannot
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, ii any such thing at all,
a* natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
the procreant (unctions, in either sex ; and therefore,
that those evils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued and removed by the
use oi “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
Ths Lucina Cordial is also sn indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus, obstructed, diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon
tinence oi Urine,or the involuntary discharge tbera
of. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine in coses of Chronic Eruptions of theskiu,
and in the dropsical affections of the aged.
Mott important to the American Public.
The United Stales proprietor of the celebrated
“ Lucina Cordtsl,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the following certificate,
which he has received from the inventor, the illus

“Thii is to certify, that I have disposed of the

„ . .. October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin;—My dear friend—l am moat
gratified at l lie unprecedented popularity of your
“Lucina Cordial, and am able to bear testimony to
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently,
1 M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had for
several years abandoned himself in the vortex oi
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener
gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity
of debility and tastelessness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed bis system, Ihe reac
tion was almost iratmdiate, and tho result perlect
prostration. 1 bad applied all the usual nostrums
in such cases ; but, as 1 had anticipated, without
success; and when 1 saw the “ Lucgia Cordial”
advertised, I must confess that even the great weight
of your name did not give me much hope in it, at
least so far as regarded the case in hand. I felt
bound to try it,however, and was soon satisfied ol
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of
hiv system; and beta now, having used four bottles,
as weilss ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the
first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine,” would
fill a volume as largo as the Bible.
