CINQ JOURS,
OR
ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHfEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
ffMIIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
I long known, and used with such unparralleled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 ycais, 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 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 Chevcrcs, from the celebrated
Indian Chief Wabenotiif., or Great Moon, whilst
he, vlti: others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
siness in the North-west with the Indians. —
W ahenoshc prized highly and use it with invariable
success throughout his two tribes. Us 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, hut 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
he anglisizcd of the deed given by VVahenoslic, to
M. Chevcrct, when he purchased the original recipe,
and had twice assisted the Chief himself through
the tedious manipulatory process of manufacture.
Few white men would credit the length of time
which is consumed in preparing the article for im
mediate use.
TRANSLATION.
“I, W ahenoshc, Chief of the nations Ottowaand
Chippewa, for Hie love and good feeling which 1
have for my white friend M. Chevcrct, (for he has
done many good things for me and my people,) 1
give to him my greatest cure for the had sickness
which my children have had sent among them as
a punishment by Hie Great Spirit,and )iu|ie that in
his hands it may do much good, and make him very

TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF !

DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF ,
TOMATO—a substitute for Calomel, and ,
docs 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 1
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 nimosv tU« extreme
North has advertised a'Tomato Pill, purportingfo
he made from the stalk, a thing not more aosuiu
than 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 he, and will do for otheis what they
have done for such as mav have used them; as
this is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will
doubtless he 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 he found to keep the
system u) much bettor 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 wag 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 Wore il 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.c 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,

f|NH E subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
JL store of .Messrs. .1. J. Robertson NCo., fortlia
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means of these
ustly celebrated instruments. He has now used
them for nearly a year, and, did nut delicacy forbid,
he could name several persons who have been radi
cal tfi eared, of this truly distressing and dangerous
affection, by the usool these Trusses,besides manv
others who arc 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, without material inconvenience to the
patient, and often under trials more severe than
are usually ventured upon by those who wearother
trusses; trials that would he 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 fol owing is from the Southern Medical and
Southern Journal, published in our own city.
“ All must admit of the radical cure of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best
yet invented to effect the object.”
Persons from a distance can have the instruments
applied, upon application at the office, and all ne
cessary information given to enable them to adjmq
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring nndei
this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate,from someresponsi

The instruments arc of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture.

evidences of their good effects. The certificates

which are from regular practising physicians, who

assorted, that no medicine of the kin 1 has ever re

Ca.,March 3d, 1838:
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, —Hy requestor your agent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a few 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 maimer you deem proper, I
speak of their merits from experience,as I and my
family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
years; ami so great ane the benefits we haverecerv
cd from them in general, that 1 would rather pur
chase them at ten dollars a box 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 purifier of the system, ami therefore equally'
the enemy of every disease. I will mention one
case. I 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. Hy 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, ami 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 y r et 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 1 add that the pojm
larityof your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in
this section of the country } Hut this I presume
you know from the immense quantity you dispose
of 1 may mention, however, that notwithstanding
its general use, I never heard an individual complain
of its effects. My residence ir 12 miles from Ral
cigh, 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 cruelly afflicted with Fever
and Ague; and during the time could find nothing—
though 1 had applied to every tiling that gave me
any thing like permanent relief. At length, how
ever, ymur 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 fee) it my duty to apprise you
of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
certificate, as I am anxious to add my public testi
mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,
THEODORE JAMES.

H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia:
Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear Sir—On the night of I
the 11th inst., 1 was called in great haste to the
house of a fellow ci.izen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found
his son laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cynanche 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 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 inform
y'ou that your inestimable medicine is in sucli great
favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is
not one of them who docs not use it in bis 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, 11. 1., Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’
pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi
cine, those effects being produced by the differences
of the quantify taken, and are decidedly superior
to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.
Extract from a letter by Or. Hopson of Bangor,
Me , Jan. 9, 1839 They arc 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 bil
lious 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 and all the usual
diseases of the digestive organs.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Edw Smith of Mon
treal, U. <., Sept. 27, 1836.—1 neverknev a single
patent medicine that 1 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 the bowels, and enlargement of
the spleen, Ur. Peters’Pills are an excellent medi
cine.
Extract of a letter from Dr Gurney of New Or
leans, La,,Oct. 9, 1837.--1 have received much as
sistance iu my practice—especially in jaundice and
yellow fever, from the use of Peters’ Pills. 1 pre
' some that, on an average,! prescribe 100 boxes in
a month
Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson,
N. V., Juac 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 an c(ficientmedicine,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,
tlie Physician, and the Philosopher.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Waincs of -Cincin
nati, Feb. 2, 1838. —Your Pills are the mildest in
their operations, and yet most powerlul in their ef
fects, of any that I have ever met with in a practice
of eight and 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. —I am in the daily habit of prescri
bing them, (Peters’Pills) and they in nearly all
cases answered my purpose I have discarded othei
medicines, some of them very good ones, in their
favor.
Charlotte, N.C., Jan. 1, 1837.
Dear Sir —I have made frequent use of your Pills
in the incipient stage of bilious fever, and ohsti
nate constipation of the bowels ; also, in the en
largement of the sp'een, chronic diseases of the
liver, sick head-ache, general debility, and in all
case have found them to be very effective.
J D. BOYD, M D.
Mfi.KLCNEUKa co. Va. V'cb. 7, 13^7.
Having used Dr. Peters’ Puls in my practice for
he last twelvemonths, 1 take pleasure in giving
my testimony of their good effects in cases of dys
pepsia, sick head-ache, bilious fevers, and other
disease*, produced by inactivity of the liver. They
are a safe and mild aperient, being the best article
of the kind 1 ever used.

FINHE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo
i silion,especially in the Northern States, leaves
the proprietor hut little need to say any thing in its
favor: hir it has been generally conceded to ir,that
it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed tho.spced and certainly ol its operations,
have the appearanre of miracles : as ulcers, wounds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, while swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, &c. &c., immediately
yield to Us superhuman influence. Thus, it prop
erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or
break and heal a Idle in five uays, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer m two weeks, and Ihu most
desperate casesot white swelling that can be ima
gin'd, 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 ihtts prevent it from
pervading ibo system. It is likewise greatly snpe
j rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the
dialed back and limbs of horses —lor tellers, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, ibr every exter
nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or
beast.
The proprielor has received nt least a thousand
certificates, and other documents, in favor of his
“ Specific Oinlm nt,” upwards of a hundred of
which were written by respectable members of the
Medical Faculty.

LE CORDIAL DE LUCINE.
OIJ L’ELIXIR DE L’AMOUR.
THE subscriber has the p'easureot announcing
lothe citizens of the U. Stales, linn ho ha
purchased, for a very large sum and from the in
venlor, the celebrated Dr. Mngnin, ol Paris |g
recipe ard right for making tins astonishing medi
cine. Until the appearance of the ” Lucina Cor
dial,” (about three years since,) it was thought that
the complaints, which it speedily overcomes, wore
beyond the reach ol human remedy, as for upwards
of a thousand ytars. they had bafllpd lire wisdom
and ingenuity of Ihe most profound' physicians in
all pans of the world. This Cordial, however, to
ihegreat advantage of the human rare,soon proved
ilse.l to he the desideratum so long sought Ibr; and
accordingly, notwithstanding ll.e Grief peri, d of.is
exislenee, it has required a celebrity so great, that
if Is eagerly inquired (or throughout ihe. civilized
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that ibe demand
was so vast as to renders supply impossible, dis
posed of the recipe and right ol sale, under obliga
tions of secrecy, ibr England, the United Stales
and othei countries,only preserving France and
Italy for himself. Thus has t lie subscriber pos
sessed himself of llieinvaluable secret; and now
hastens lo give the inhabitants of his line of agency
the benefits of his speculation.
‘‘le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “ihc
I.ucin’a Cordial,” isa general invigorator of th e
human frame! In all the various cases ol languor,
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing life*,
dy ; as it is equally its province to impart clie<W«(.
ness and decision to the mind, ns health and vigor
to the body. But. the peculiar virtueon which Its
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainly with
which it restores the virile powers when they Lave
hem destroy ed by disease,time,recklessness,orany
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this t ordial contains nothing of a n;cr
curia) or deleterious nature, among the many ingre.
dients which compose it; but is, at ihnsame lime,
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while il can reno
vate llio prostrated energies of a giant, an infant
may use it,not only with impunity, but with ad
vantage,
The usages of sociely are unfortunately such,
that, notwithstanding the benefits which would be
sure to result from it, weenunotenler into au analy
sis ol this ine limable Cordial here, or publish many
of the documents which have been received, as
vouchers ol the blessings it lias conferred on num.
bersof despairing individuals. But this wc cannol
forbear remarking—that it has been demount rated
that there is scarcely ever, it any such thing at all,
as ualural barrenness, or as natural imbecility ol
ihe proercantluncl ions, in either sex ; and therefore,
I hat these evils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued «nd removed by the
use ot “ Le Cordial oe Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also an indubitable cure
for theGleei,and ihe Floor Alims,obstructed, diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation; also, for the incon
tinence ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
ol It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of theskin,
and in the dropsical affections ot the aged.
Most important to the American Public.
The United B,tales proprietor of the celebrated ,
“ Lneina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay |
before the community, the following certificate,
which be has received from the inventor, ibo illus-1

“ Thii is to cerlily, that I have disposed of the
recipe fur making the “Lneina Cordial,” or
“ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it
throughout the I nntd States of North America,
to John Winters Holderwell, M. D. My reasons
for so doing is, I hat the demands to mo for the above

To Dr. Magnin :— My dear friend—l am most
gralified at l lie unprecedented popularity ol your
“Lucina Cordial,” and am able to bear testimony to
ils surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently,
1 ,\i , a gentleman ol fortune, wdio had lot
several years abandoned bimsell in the vortex m
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from il »>
length by the utter prostration of all bis virile cnee
gies. He was, indeed, reduced lo the last ext rentin'
of debility ami t.islelessness, for, if an occasional
(lash of excitement warmed his system, ihe rear
lion was almost immediate,and the result perleri
prostration. I had applied oil the usual nostrums
in such cates ; but, as I had anticipated, without
success; ami when 1 saw the “ Lucgi t Cordia
advertised, 1 must confess that even the great weight
of your name did not give me much hope in it, ol
least so far as regarded the cr.se in hand. 1 lel |
bound lo try it,however,and was soon satisfiedoj
its efficacy ; for before a bottle was expended, m*
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity nt
bissysten.; and beis now, having used four bollWi
as wellis ever.
