CINQ JOURS,

anti-balsamic gonorrhceal solution
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
rs-HIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
1 long known, and used with such unparralleled
success m the Canadas for the last 30 yeais, ap
pears to aoed no panegyric. Its operation uponthe
human iystem 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 a “ s> ° *
trying circumstances, namely, “five days, e
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 C hies Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst
he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
siness in the North-west with the Indians
Wabeno-she 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 bis receipt
at enormous prices to the Chief of every tribe 01
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 Wabenoshe, 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 time
which is consumed in preparing the article for im
mediate use.
TRANSLATION.
“I, Wabenoshe, Chief of the nations Ottowaand
Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which I
have for my white friend M. Cheveret, (for he has
done many good things for me and ray people,) I
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.”

is to subdue every vestige of inflaraation, and then
acts mildly and copiously as a diuretic; thereb}
holding within itself, every requisite virtue, for
the subduction of this loathsome malady—and ev

assertion, that copious diuresis and reduction of in

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

most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis
eases, consequent upon erroneous diagnosis and
treatment of Gonorrhoea.
Those affected are requested to call and try for

TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF
FAMILIES.
DR. MALES’ 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 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. Milen, 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 urove by their use, that they are all that they
profess to be, and will do for others what they
have done for such as mav have used them; as
this 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 hapaline, 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 inown 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 leam, will soon be in
this city. We all know something about this,

Radical C are ol Heruia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
riNH E subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
J. store 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, didnot delicacy forbid,
he could name several persons who have been radi
cally cured, of this truly distressing and dangerous
affection, b> the use of these Trusses, besides many
others who j.re 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 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 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 adjust
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate,frem someresponsi
ble ;>erson,of their pecuniary disability. a
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture.

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 N ER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD /.CHE, 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 lamily 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 usf if his remedy.
It 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.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy fo>- this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter ofmiu ii astoTslimeut,
That su ma h suffering should ha\ eex .ed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. 3.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. The i
f rinciples on which it acts are simple and plain. It is
an at 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 the first cause, that sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, through the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of the natural and
healthy functions ol 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 w-ith 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 gew»rally throughout
the United States.

The French Pills are applicable in ail cases, toi

sesses great advantages over the Balsams and all j
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,
with little regard to oiet or exposure.
In the most obstinate stages of the disease, they
are equally certain, having cured many after every
other remedy hsd failed. In short they have been
so universally successful that the proprietor chal

by him, I left him, and a few days after visited

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 request of 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 ray 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 ai>e 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 enumerate the afflictions
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 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 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. lam, with sen
timents of regard, your ob’t servant.
A. G. BANKS.
To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upward o 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
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 ray duty to apprise you

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
Cynanche Tracnealis (Croup) and apparently be
yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
tune, however, I 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
you that your inestimable medicine is in such great
favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is
aot one of them who does not use it in his private
practice. Yours most resp’y.

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo
gart, of Providence, R. L, Dec. 17, 1838. —Peters’
j 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, Brandreth’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. I 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. C., Sept. 27,1836. —I 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. I have no hesitation j
in having it known that I 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.—F0r bilious fevers, sick head
ache,torpidity of the 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
yellow fever, from the use of Peters’ Pills, I pre
sume that, on an average, I prescribe 100 boxes in
a month
Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson,
N. Y., June 3, 1836.—1 was aware that Dr. Peters
I was one of the best chemists in the United Stales
and lelt assured that he would some day (from his*
intimate knowledge of the properties ox herbs
and drup ) produce an efficient medicine, and I must
acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully respond
to my expectations. They are indeed a superior
medreme, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist
the Physician, and the Philosopher.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Waines of Cincin
nati, feb. 2,1838.—Y0ur Pills are the mildest in
their operations, and yet most powerful in their ef

of eight and twenty years. action on the

fINHE great celebrity of this unrivalled Corapo
| gition,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 ail comparison the best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed the’speed and certainty of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, white swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, &c. &c., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, if prop
erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or
break and heal a bile in live days, 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 tban two
months. In ihe 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 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
The proprietor has received at 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.
Albany, July 9th, 1837.
To Dr. Harrison.
Sir—l useyour Specific Ointment in my practice,
and cordially recommend it as a roost 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 my
power to award honor to merit.
RUFUS R. BEACH, M. D.
Brooklyn, N. Y., Oct. 29, !838!
Dear Sir—My daughter, a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn the comp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and I feared, independent of
every other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, ! applied your ointment to the
afflicted part; and I thank God that my child is
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is
getting her hail as fast as can be expected The
cure was effected in rather less than two months;
during which lime I used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
duiing the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.
MARY HOWARD.
I hereby substantiate the truth of the above
statement.
CHRISTOPHER HOWARD.
1 know the above statement to be coirect, and I
can add from experience that “ Harrison’s Specific
Ointment,” is an excellent medicine for external
complaints.
MATTHEW PERRIN.
Boston, Jan. 7, 1837. ,
Dear Sir—l have to request of you to forward
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most
immediate conveyance, and without regard to the
expense of carriage, as lam quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore 1 shall only add,
that further experience has increased ray enthusi
asm and established me in the opinion, that it is su -
perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.
Respectfully yours,.
CHARLES P. EMERSON, M. D.
New Orleans, March 20th, 1838.
Dr. Harrison
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as I have used none other
in my rather extensive practice forseveral years.and
if you think it would be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures w hich 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 twenty
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 fused
to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi
ness, I am fearful if 1 purchase at random, that I
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.
Your obedient servant,
EDWARD RAMSEY, M. D.
Cincinnati, August 9,1837.
Dr. Harrison.
Sir,—l have no hesitation in stating, in reply to
your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority of the ends for which vou re
commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by the word
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters where I have had no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
lows, piles, &c., it is nou universal recipe. I have
also used it on the leg of a boy which had been
hi turn 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
Yours respectfully,

itself to be the desideratum so long sought for
accordingly, notwithstanding the br;ef period of fe
existence, it has required a celebrity so great, th
it is eagerly inquired for throughout the civilly

was so vast as m render a supply impossible, I
posed of the recipe and right of sale, underoblk • 1

“le Cordial DeLucme, or, in 'tghsh, f

human frame! In all the various cases of lang* 0 , r i
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing ; c

celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty ~
which it restores the virile powers when they h aV|
been destroyed by disease,lime, recklessness.onm, -
of the numerous causes which terminate in thift |
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really go*,
medicines, this Cordial contains nothing of a met 2 (
rurial or deleterious nature, among the many ing»#|
dients which compose it; but is, at the same tin* sL
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can ret*. r

that those evils are the effects of artificial cau** i
