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 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
-1 iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, to
be made from the stalk, a thing not more absutu
than for one to offer meal from the com 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 tj>e great benefits of
which, he holds himself boupd, and in honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, thjt they are all that they
profess to be, and will dd fox othcis what they
have done for such as niav have used them; as
this is a vegetable of grejit use, and value, it will
doubtless be valuable to families to
know that the Yellow ate just doubly as valuable
as the P.ed Tomato, aipi 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 they contained alterative and diu
retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use
the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that
they know vrhat it is Were it a patent mysteiy,
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, saie 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 ol Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
11HE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
- stor e of Messrs. J. J. Robertson & Co., forth!
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 manv
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
testmes m 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 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.”
fouling 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” 3

DR. E. SPOHN, a German physician of much
note, having devoted his attention for some
years to the cure and removal of the 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 perma
nently this distressing complaint. There are many
families who have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as
sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which they might not only alleviate,
but actually eradicated by the use if his remedy.
If is the result of scientific research, and is entirely
of a different character from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
I HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS,
i The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
! remedy for this distressing corapaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter ofmuch astonishment,
That so much suffering should have existed for 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 admitted 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 the first cause, that th“ sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, through 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
professionai reputation on this fact. The remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.

The French Pills are applicable in all cases, loi
either sex, (warranted free from Mercury,; and pos
sesses great advantages over the Balsams and all
liquid medicines, by being entirely free from smell,
and consequently do not effect the breath, thereby
preventing the possibility of discovery while using
them.
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,
wit h little regard to aiet or exposure.
In the most obstinate stages of the disease, they
are equally certain, having cured many after every
other remedy h*»d failed. In short they have been
so universally successful that the proprietor chal
lenges any one to produce a remedy of equal cer
tainty, under a forfeiture ot Three Hundred Dollars.

evidences of their good effects. The certificates
that have been presented to the propuetor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of five hundred ol
which are from regular practising physicians, who
arc the most competent judges of their merits.

The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No
Ca^,March 3d, 1838:
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, —By requestof your agent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of your piPs; and I would
add, 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 ol thirty boxes in three
years ; and so great are the benefits we ha ve 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 enumerate the afflictions
they have relieved us of; but I can assure you
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 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
m 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 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 12 miles from Ral
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 upwards of fifteen
months, 1 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
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 I 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
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 son laboring under a most alarming attack of

fFIHE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compt^
1 sition, especially injthe Northern States, leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in Us
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 ihc’specd and certainty of its operations,
have tiie appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wouuds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, while swellings, biles,
biles, 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 uays, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperate cases of 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 medicine heretofore discovered for the
chafed back and limbs of horses —for tetters, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every extei
nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or
The proprietor has received at least a thousand
certificates, and other documents, in favor of his

w hich were written by respectable members of the
Medical Faculty.

To Dr. Harrison.
Sir—l useyour Specific Ointment in my practice,
and cordially recommend it as a most efficient reme
dy for Tumors, Ulcers, White Swellings, Scrofula,
Rheumatic Pains, Chapped Face, Lips and Hands:
and for general external complaints. I write this
at the request of your agent here, who furnishes me
with the article, and am pleased to have it in ray
power to award honor to merit.

Dear Sir—My daughter, a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn thecomp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and I teared, independent of
ever} other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, I applied your ointment to the
afflicted part; and I thank God that my child is
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is
gelling her hair as fast as can be expected. The
cure was effected in lather less than two months;
during which lime I used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment ; I had spent upwards ol a hundred dollars
during the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

expense of carriage, as I arn quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know ray estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore i shall only add,

Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known toiuo,as 1 have used none other
in my rather extensive practice lor several years, and
if you think it would be to your auvantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of imptytant
cures which it has effected under my own imme
diate inspection: the last being one of a severe
and apparently perpetual ulcer,in the back of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di
vision street, which it completely healed in tw’enty
one days. 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, from whom 1 used ®
to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi

may be imposed on by a counterfeit.

THE subscriber has the pleasured anno.,*
to the citizens of the U. Stales, thet
purchased, for a very large sum and from tn 1,5

recipe ned right for making t his astonishing m ,8

the complaints, which it speedily overconae s ‘' ,at
beyond the reach of human remedy. as foronL*?
of a thousand years, they had baffled the
and ingenuity of the most profound’ phygj Cj
all parts ot the world. This Cordial, howev ei ?
the great advantage of the human race,soon r,/’ 1
itself ft) be the desideratum so long sought fl, r oVftr
accordingly, notwithstanding the brief peri..fl ’
existence, it. has required a celebrity so great °, !t|
it is eagerly inquired for throughout the r 'j’j Jt
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the demf 1
« was so vast as to render a supply
posed of the recipe and right of sale, under obitA
tions of secrecy, for England, the United
and otbei countries, only preserving
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber f
«essed himself of the invaluable secret; and a
hastens to give (he inhabiianls of his line cfageh!
the benefits of his speculation.
‘Te Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, »i
Lucina Cordial,” is a general invigorator of t I
human frame! In all the various cases of laru
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing r L
dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheertV
ness and decision to the mind, as health and via i
to the body But the peculiar virtue h r
celebrity is based, is the facility and eerttuntv
which it restores t bo virile powers when they h ?
been destroyed by disease,time, recklessness or .T
of the numerous causes which terminate in If
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really enit ji
medicines, thist ordial contains nothing of a Lk
curml or deleterious nature, among the many iZI
dients which compose it; but is, at the same <,l'
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can ™
vale the prostrated energies of a giant, an m/W
may use it.notonly but mthT/
vantage. 1
The usages of society are unfortunately KUr i,
that, notwithstanding the benefits which wou'd k!
sure to result from it. we cannotenter into an anal?
sis of this inestimable Cordial here, or publish mari
of the documents which have been received I
vouchers of the blessings it, has conferred on num
hers of despairing individuals. But this wt cannot
forbear remarking-that it has been demonstrate
that there is ever, it any sfitSh thing at ail
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility ol
the procreant functions, in either sex; and therefore
that these evils are the effects of artificial causes’
and may be speedily subdued and removed bv the
use ot “ I.e Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also an indubitable cure
for the Gleet and the Fluor Albas, obstructed, diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation; also,for the incon
tinence ol Lrme,or she involuntary discharge ther«
of It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine incases of Chronic Eruptions of the skin,

before the community, ihe following certificate,
which he has received from the inventor, the illus.

“ This is to certify, that I have disposed of the
recipe for making the “Lucina Cordial,” or
“ Elixir of Love,” and also the‘right to sell it
throughout the United States of North America,
to John Winters Holderwell,M. D. My reason*
for so doing is, that the demands to me for the above
Cordial, of which I am the inventor, are so nume
rous, that I am unable to supply all the orders from
France and Italy alone; and have therefore dispo- 1

To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am mot 0 h
gratified at the unprecedented popularity ot yoi. he
“Luc'na Cordial,” and am able to bear testimonyi rjj
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recent!? U p
1 M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had lot res
several years abandoned himself in the vortex «
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it s
length by the utter prostration of all his virileener s - c
gi.es. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremit?
of debility and tastelessness, for, if an occasions.
flask of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate,and the result pertef ; es
prostration. I had applied ail the usual nostra® w •
in such cases ; but, as I had anticipated, vvitW
success ; and when 1 saw the “ Luc|na Cordial
advertised, 1 must confess that even the great wes !
of your name did not give me much hope in M
least so far as regarded the case in hand. In
bound lo try it, however, and was soon satisfied o'-
its efficacy ; for before a bottle was expended, m?
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity o 1 I
his system ; and he is now, having used four bottle*' the
as w ell is ever. Ma
