PROSPECTUS 7
For publishing by subscription, in Augusta, Ga., an
Agricultural paper, to be styled
GLEANINGS OF HUSBANDRY.
“Who makes two blades cf grass grow where one
grew before, dees more for his country, than an
Alexander or a Bonaparte.”
AT the solicitalion of many friends, the subscri
ber has consented to become the editor and
put lisher of a periodical exclusively devoted to Ag
riculture, Gardening, and (he other branches of
Husbandry in general. Its object will be, in plain
style, to communioate useful informetien to the cul
tivator, whether of the vine or the flower, of vege
tables or plants, of Puds, grapes or trees, as the
mulberry and all kinds of orchard trees, with the
best manner of planting them ; furnishing suitable
hints fur the improvement of the various soils,
breeds of cattle, and other stock, with the treatment
of the diseases to which they are liable, and the
management of bees and silk worms
The editor will endeavor to illustrate the impor
tant principles upon which the art and science of
agriculture is founded, and to introduce an economi
cal system of the labors, in the garden or vineyard,
in the field, meadow or cocoonery, that may be best
adapted to the seasons, climate and latitude in
which we reside, and which in most respects, differ
greatly from the Middle, Northern and Eastern
States.
Os more than one million of Planters and Hor
ticulturists in the Southern States, scarcely two
out of a thousand have an opportunity of consult
ing any agricultural works, and are wholly guided
by casual observations upon the ways of their
neighbors and ancestors; for they possess no means
of learning the almost daily improvements that are
making in their own particular branch of culture;
neither can they become acquainted with the im
proved varieties in trees, fruits, vines, flowers,
grain and plants, which are continually introduced
to onr notice from every portion of the habitable
globe, nor w ih the various improvements and new
inventions it; the implements of tillage. The pub
lication shal - contain a full account of all these that
are likely tofbenefit our pari of the country, and
increase inte ligence, v irtue, happiness and prosper
ity at every dearth in the southern States.
It’shall be free from all sedarian or political views,
wholly governed by Southern feelings and princi
ples ; our endeavor will be to render it serviceable
to the youngand the aged—to “ Heaven’s last best
gift to man,' nea in her teens and to the sturdy
Farmer— them ot the proper season,
which from Experience in our seclion of the Union
may have found most congenial to commit
their seeds to the toil —to prune their vines and
trees —to transplant their tender shoots and flowers
—to engraft or bud theirs irnbs and trees,
and turn th| “maiden’s blush” into the charming
“moss” or femonthly rose,” with the best manner
of harvestiit* and preserving their crops and pro
duce.
We shallfiy no means overlook the great South
ern staples. and Rice, for upon these, 1 trie
informationf’an be obtained from Northern publi
cations.
From the ftind promises, tendered by friends to
the underti king, valuable original contributions
may be antj ipated ; and other correspondents are
respectfullyf«olicited to communicate any informa
tion that raa| be interesting or beneficial to others,
relating to tleir mode of culture ; as facts collected
from the tiU rs of our own soil, with their obsei va
liums and rt aaiks will be highly appreciated by the
editor; and since the happiness and comtort of a
country mai ily depend upon its agriculture, in fur
nishing use il intorraation to the community, con
tributors wi i afford the brightest evidence of their
zeal and pai iotism.
TERMs.-f I’he paper will be issued monthly, on
a sheet con fining sixteen very large quarto pages,
(jarae size the “Albany Cultivator,”) at the very
moderate pice of One Dollar, payable in all cases
in advancej The price being so small, no num
ber will be lent to any person on credit. It shall
be printed <li good paper, and with new type, order
ed expressl'l fur the purpose. The first number
will appeartn March next, if possible.
As by th<| rules of the General Post Office, Post
mask rs are fllowed to frank and forward the amount
subscribed if' any newspaper, they are respectfully
desired to leg-ward to the editor at Augusta, any
amo-int offered them in bankable money, as early as

Postmasters and editors of papers are kindly ask

copy of this Prospectus, they are requested to cut
one from the papers which may be good enough to
publish it; and wo, with respect, invite all the

RHEUMATISM.
COHEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.—
Dr. M. B. Cohen, proprietor of the universally
celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla
matory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and
Swellings in the Joints, &c., known as Cohen’s
Rheumatic Embrocation, begs respectfully to refer
all persons suffering from these disea-es to the
thousands of cures that his preparation has accom
plished, and to the numerous strange and highly
respectable testimonials which have, from time to
time, been published to that effect in New Aork
and other places. So certain and searching is this
Liniment in its operations, even in cases of long
standing, and of an obstinate nature, that it has
never been known to fail. The follow 7 ing letters
are selected from hundreds of others of a like de
scription. It will be proper that all persons using
the Liniment, see that it is accompanied with the
signature of the proprietor in his own hand writing.
Since the introduction of this remedy to the public,
various empirics have been palmed upon the coun
try, Nostrums and Lotions, and Liniments, and
“Infallible Rheumatic Mixtures,” all of which be
ing a compound of ignorant’quacks, are calculated,
more or less, to injure the system rather than re
move any complaint. In proof of the estimation
in which the Embrocation is held by respectable
men in the medical profession, as well as by the
thousands of persons who have been effectua ly
cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined
letters from a few who are well and popularly
known to the entire society in New Aork, and
whose opinions and professional judgments are
universally esteemed.
M. B. COHEN,

New York, Aug. 3, 1838,
Dear Sir —Having frequently witnessed the ap
plication of vour Rheumatic Embrocation,and tie
beneficial effects arising therefrom, it affords me
pleasure to state that I most cheerfully recommend
it as an invaluable remedy, and the best known for
the cure of that painful and distressing complaint,
either in its acute or chronic form.

To Dr. M. B. Cohen.
Dr. M. B. Cohen—ln reply to your request as to
my opinion of your Rheumatic Embrocation, I
most willingly acknowledge that I have used it in
my practice, and found it an invaluable remedy as
a palliative Liniment in cases of Rheumatism.

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
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 aosutu
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 be, 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 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 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 Care ol Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
THE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
store of Messrs. J. J. R.obertson &Co., forthe
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, 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 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,from someresponsi
ble person, of their pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture.

O. COSBY’S DYSPEPTIC BITTERS.
PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated to
disgust the public eye than the innumerable
advertisements ot nostrums that are constantly ap
pearing in the public prints. All arc ready to ex
claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained with
every day’s reports of ills and specifics. This state
ot the public mind would seem to forbid any person
of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis
coveries in medicine, to the trial of th? public.—
Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from
making known real discoveries, which we are con
fident will benefit our fellow men. This latter
consideration has prompted the author of these bit
ters to make them known. He know s they are high
ly efficacious, for he himself, his wife, and many
friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was
himself a confirmed dyspeplic,so much, that even
his recollection was gone. By using these bitters
he has been restored to health. Mre. Cosby was
troubled for many years,but was restored to health
by the use of these bitters. This has been the case
with many of his friends. Mr. Coshy in sending
forth this advertisement, addresses those who know
him. He has been for many years a resident ot
Augusta, at which place he can at any lime bj
consulted about the bitters. They are good in all
cases of diseases of the digestive organs, the symp
toms of which are indigestion, pain or oppression
in the stomach from food, lossol appetite, flatulen
cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the
side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
ness, disturbed sleep, &c The composiuon is en
tirely Botanical, and has proved efficacious w hen
many celebrated medicines had failed. In support
of which he refers them to Freeman W. Lacy, she
riff of Richmond count", and William T. Thomp
son, editor of the Augusta Mirror, and he might re
fer you to many others, but deems it unnecessary,
as he is willing to place it on its own merits. All
he asks is lor tnose who are afflicted with the dys
pepsia to give it a trial.
They can be had at T. IT. Plant’s book-store,
Augusta, and of C>. Cosby himself, at the corner of
Washington and Ellis-streets. nov 30 ly
CINQ JOURS.
or '
ANTI-BALSAMIC GONORRIKEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
P SHIIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
J long known, and used with such unparralleled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeais, 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. 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. —
Wabenoshe 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 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
w*ith, 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. CheveretjWhen 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 my 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.”

This Medicine,! warrmt by this publication,un
der a penalty of $5,000, not to contain one parti
cle of corrosive preparation. It is purely vegata
ble in its essences. Its first and prominent virtue
is to subdue every vestige of inflamation, and then
acts mildly and copiously as a diuretic ; thereby
holding within itself, every requisite virtue, for
the subduction of this loathsome malady —and ev
ery regular graduate in medicine, will sustain the
assertion, that copious diuiesis and reduction of in
flation, are the only two things necessary to effect
ajsound 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
alis, incontinence, and a swarm of other of the
most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis
eases, consequent upon erroneous diagnosis and
treatment of Gonorrhoea.
Those affected are requested to call and try for
themselves. If the prescriptions are well follow

returned.

The French Pills are applicable in all cases, loi

Dr. Valier—Dear Sir; About a month ago, I sent
to you for three boxes of your French Pills, and feel
much obliged to you for furnishing rne with a medi
cine so effectual and so pleasant to use. When I
sent for your Fills I had been troubled with the
disease for nearly 6 months, and had tried a great
many medicines without any effect. During the
first six weeks 1 was under a Physician of this
place, but finding little or no chance of being cured
by him, I left him, and a few days alter visited

Not knowing what to resort to next, and seeing vou

determined to try them, and am only sorry I did m

DR. F,. a German physician of much .
note, having devoted his attention for some I
years tothecure and removal of the causes of NER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD aCHE, has thesaiis-
Ihctiou to make known, that lie 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- (
s'litutional incurable lamiiy complaint* Dr. S. as
sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which tney might not only alleviate,
but actually eradicated by the us;- if his remedy.
It is the result of scientific research,and is entirely
of a different chaiacterfrom advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy lor this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much 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.
row assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the moslcredulous. The
vrinciples on w hich it acts are simple and plain. Itis
an a milled 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 the natural and
healthy functions ot 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. The remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.

fjlilE great celebrity of this unrivalled ('ompo
-8 sition,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 uie best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that lias ever been discovered.
Indeed ihe'speed and certainly of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wouuds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, white swellings, biles,
piles, 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 days, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
i desperate casesul white swelling that can be ima
gined, have been destroyed by it m less than 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
beast.
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.

termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, independent of
every other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of ihe
Reverend M r. Perrin, I applied your ointment io the
afflicted part; and 1 thank God that my child is
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is
getting her hair as fast as can be expected The
cure was effected in lather leas than two months;
during which lime I used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
duting the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment,have j
been long known to me,as 1 have used none other
in my rather extensive practice lorseveral years, and
if y u u think it wouid be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
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 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 ! used
to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi
ness, lam fearful if Ipurehaseat random, that 1
may be imposed on by a counterfeit
Your obedient servant,

Dr Harrison.
Sir, — I 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 you re
commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by the word
majority*, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters where 1 have had no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions w hit
lows, piles, &c., it isnw universal recipe. I have
aEo used it on the leg of a boy which had been
bitten by an adder, and the extraction of the poison,
and ultimate cure was so rapid, that rny patient was
as well as ever in a week ; and has remained so to
this day.

Ca.,March 3d, 1838: •
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, —By requestof your agent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting lire
almost miraculous effects of your piPs; and I would
add, that you may make use ol them, in connection
with ray name, in any 7 manner y r ou deem proper, I
speak of their merits from experience, as 1 and my
family 7 have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
y r ears ; and so great a*e 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 I can assure you they
were many 7 , 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 7
the enemy 7 of every 7 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; hut 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 7 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 7 restored to health. This case, I and all
who were witness of it, (but more especially 7 the
suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to
miraculous; and yet I could mention many 7 more
of an equally desperate nature, in whicli your pills
w 7 ere equally successful in rescuing the patients
from the jaws of death. Need I add that the popu
larity7 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 7 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 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
any thing like permanent relief. At length, how
ever, your pills were recommended to me, by 7 one
of our best physicians, and I am most grateful and
happy 7 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
mony7 to the almost miraculous virtues of your un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,

such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes
my 7 patient was at ease, and out of danger. This

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo
gait, of Providence, R. 1., Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’
pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi
cine, those effects being produced by the differences
i of the quantity 7 taken, and are decidedly superior
to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.
Extract from a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor,

N. Y., June 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 efficient medicine, and I must
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.

Having used Dr. Peters’ Pills in my practice for

my testimony of their good effects in oases of dys

OU L’ELIXIR DE L’AMOUR.
f subscriber has the pleasured announciin 1
B to the riiizensof the U. States, ihat be h-,
purchased, for a very large sum and from the m
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Mngnin, of Paris | u
recipe ard right fur making this astonish in a me<L
cine. Until the appearance of the “ Lucina Cor
dial, ’ (about three years since,) it was thought tliat
the complaints,which if speedily overcomes,were
beyond the roach ol human remedy, as for upwards J
of a thousand years, they had baffled the wisdom I
and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in I
all pans ot the world. This Cordial, however, to j
the great advantage of the human race,soon proved I
itself to be the desideratum so long sought for; and
accordingly, notwithstanding fie brief peri dof .is
existence, it has required a celebrity so great, that
h is eagerly inquired for throughout the civilized
globe. Dr Magnin soon finding that the demand
was so vast as io render a supply impossible, di». "
posed of the recipe and right of sale, under übliga
lions of secrecy, fur England, the United Stales f
and othei countries, only preserving France and
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber po.s
sessed himself of iheinvaluable secret; end now
hastens togivethe inhabitants of his line of agency
the benefiis of his speculation.
“I e Cordial De Lucinc,” or, in English, “ the
Lucira Cordial,” is a general invigoralor of the I
human frame ! In all the various cases of languor,
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing reme
dy; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful,
ness and decision to the mind, ns health and
to the body But the peculiar virtue on which °i! S j
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with I
which it restores the virile powers when they have I
been destroved by disease.time,recklessness,oranv II
of the numerous causes which terminate in the |
prostration of ihnse functions.
In common with the generality of really good II
medicines, this C ordial contains nothing of a ir.er
curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre- [
clients which compose it; but is, at the same time,
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can reriu
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an infant I
may use it,not only with impunity, but wiih ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such,
that, nolwiihstaiidiug the benefits which would be
sure to result from it, vve cannoteoler into an aualv
sis ol this ine-timable Cordial here, or publish marly
of the documents which have been received, as
vouchers ol the blessings it has conferred on num
bers of despairing individuals. But this wc cannot
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, it any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
the procreant functions, in either sex ; and therefore,
that thcseevils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may 7 be speedily subdued c*nd removed by the
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also tn indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor A Ibus, obstructed, diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon
tinence ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
of It is likewise on invaluable and unrivalled
medicine incases of Chronic Ervptionsof the skin,
and in the dropsical affections of the aged.

1 am now on the wrung side of eighty, and yet 1
could be on my honor or oaih if necessary, that a
bottle or tw 7 o ot your Cordial of Love has made me

and that (pardon my ofticiousiiess,; you should have
named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels.
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am moa
gratified at Ihe unprecedented popularity of your
“Lucna Cordial,” and am able to bear teslirnonvto
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently,
1 >] , agenileman ol fortune, who had for
several years abandoned himself in the vortex ot
dissipation ; and was only reclaimer! from it at
length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener
gies . lie was,indeed,reduced to the last extremtiy
ol debility and tasteiessness, for, il an
flash of excitement warmed his system, the Reac
tion was almost immediate, and the result perlect
prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrums
ia sueu cases ; but, as I had anticipated, without
success ; and when I saw 7 the “ Lucffia Cordial'
advertised, 1 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. 1 felt
bound to try it, hovvev'.r,and was soon satisfied u*
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, mV
patient gave evidence of the returning eiaslichy ot
bis system ; and he is now, having used four buttle*,
as w ell is ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin suae the
first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” would
fill a volume as large as the Bible.
