DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO —a suostitute 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
j wish to know T , by any of the agents keeping them
i for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx
i iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme
I North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to
be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosuru
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 ,
j profess to bo, and will do for otheis what they
have done for such us 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 Y r ellow are just doubly as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much j
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 j
anxiety calomel has been given to children, and
how they then wish'l 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 1
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 leam, will soon be in ,
this city. We all know something about this,

Radical Cure ol llernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
TBIIIE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
J_ store of Messrs, J. J. Robertson & Co., forthe
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 useoi these Trusses, besides many
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
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 wear other
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. ( base’s Trusses are decidedly the best
yet invented to effect the object.”
Persons from a distance can have the instruments
applied, upon applicatun at the office, and all ne
cessary information given to enable them to adjust I
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring unde?
this afflicting complaint, will be treateStuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate, from someresnonsi l

O. COSBY’S DYSPEPTIC BITTERS*
PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated to
disgust the public eye than the innumerable i
advertisements of nostrums that are constantly ap- j
pearing in the public prints. All are ready to ex- j
claim,our souls are sick, our ears are pained with }
every day’s reports of ills and specifics Tkis state |
nt the public mind would sefem to forbid any person f
of delicate mind from sending forth any new <bs- ,
coveries in medicine, to the trial of the 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 bi
i
tere to make them known. He knows they are high
ly efficacious, for he himself, his wife, and many
friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was
himself a confirmed dyspeptic, so much, that even
his recollection was gone. By using these bitters I
he has been restored to health. Mir. Cosby was
troubled for many years,but was restored to health
by the use of these bitters. This has been the case 1
with many of his frwnds. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addresses those who know
him. Ho has been for many years a resident of
Augusta,, at which place he can at any lime be
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, lossot appetite, flatulen
cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the
side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
ness, disturbed sleep, «Scc The composition is en
tirely Botanical, and has proved efficacious w hen
many celebrated medicines had failedln support
of which he refers thorn to Freeman W. Lacy, she
riff of Richmond countv, and William T. Thomp
son, editor of the Augusta Mirror, and he might re
fer yon to many others, but deems it unnecessary,
as he is w illing to place it on its own merits. All
he asks is tor tnose who are afflicted with the dys
pepsia to give it a trial.

CINGI JOURS,
OR
ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
fflHlS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
J. long known, and used with such unparralleled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeats, 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
with, I ma3 r 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. Che veret, 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 »n 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. Che veret, (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 diuresis 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
ed and fail to cure, the money will in every case be
returned.

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. s
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 oiet or exposure. *
In the most obstinate stages of the disease they
are equally certain, having cured many after every
other remedy hV failed. In short they have been
so universally successlul that the proprietor dial

taiiiry, under a forfeiture of Three Hundred Dollars'

Dr. Vaher—Dear Sir: About a month ago I sen*

much obliged to you for furnishing me with a medi
c.ne so effectual and so pleasant to use. When I
sent for your Pills I had been troubled with the
disease lor nearly 6 months, and had tried a scent
many medicines without any effect. During 5 the
first six weeks 1 was under a Physician of this
place, but finding little or no chance of being cured
by him, 1 left him, and a few days alter visited
Philadelphia, where I bought a * anety of advertised

DR. E. tPOHN, a German physician of much -
note, having devoted his attention or I
years to the cure and removal of the cfc uses of NEK- \
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 tncy 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 mot unpleasant to the laste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn s
remedy for this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That so ra ich suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual preventivor
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 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 lh“ sys
tem has become vitiated or debihtaled, thiough ihe
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of jhe naiural and
healthy functions oi the system. Tins object, Dr.
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain.
The truth of this position cannot be controverted,
and the sooner sufferers with ihe headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will jheir 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.

great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo
sit ion, 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 the best rented}’ for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed the,speed and certainty of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, weuuds,
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 l*eal a bile in live days, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
I desperale casesot white swelling that can be ima
gined, have been destroyed by it m less than two
months. In the bites of poisonous repiiles 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
chated back 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 it least a thousand
certificates, and other documents, in favor of his

Dear Sir—My daughter, a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn the corap 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, I 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 hair as fast as can he expected. The
cure was effected in rather Jess than two months;
during w hich time I used fiv dollars worth of oint
menl; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
duting the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

I hereby substantiate the truth ot the above

Dear Sir—l have to request of yon to forwanfl
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most
immediate conveyance, and without regard to the
expens’e of carriage, as lam quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add,
that further experience has increased my enthusi

Sir~The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as I have used none other
in my rather exiensive practice lorseveral years,and
if y«u think it would bo 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
onedays. My present chief object in writing to
you, is to learn who is your authorised agent in this
city, lor, being in want of a supply of your oint
ment, and the person Mr. Boyle, from whom I used
to purchase it, haying failed and gone out of busi
ness, I am fearful if I purchase at random, that I
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.

f | • H KS E Pills are no longer among those oi dou'ot
i ful utility. They have passed away from l* l ® ,
hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of
experiment, and now stand before the public as
high in reputation, and as extensively employed in
all parts of the United States, the Canadas, Texas
Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine that
has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering
man. They have been introduced wherever it was
found possible to carry them ; and there arc but
few towns that do not contain some remarkable
evidences of their good effects. The certificates
that have been presented to the propiietor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of five hundred of
which are from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this median
been the subject of editorial comment, in vai ion
newspapers and journals; and it may with truth e
asserted,that no medicine of the kin 1 has ever re
ceived testimonials of greater value th in are at
tached to this. .
They are in general use as a family medicine
and there are.thousands of families who declare they
re never satisfied until they have a supply always
on hand.
They have no rival in curing and preventing
Billious Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver

Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen,
Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn,

where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are
exceedingly mild in their operation, producing
neither nausea, griping nor debility.
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 pißs; and I would
add, that you may make use ol them, in connection
with my name, in any manner you deem proper, I
speak of their merits from experience, as I and my
family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
years ; and so great ape'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 enumeraie 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 wore 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 P 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 upward 3 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 the}' had restored me
to perfect health. Since then, various members of
my family have used them with equal success —
and consequent!)' I feel 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.

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 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.

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo
gart, of Providence, R. L, Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’
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.

LE CORDIAL, »E LIJCIN^"^
OU L’KLIXIU DE L’AMOUR.
fJNHE subscriber has the pleasured announcm
j to the citizensof the U. States, thut he h*
purchased, for a very large sum and from the in
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of Paris
recipe ard right for making this astonishing medf
cine. Until the appearance of the“ Luci na Cor
dial,'’ (about three years since,) it was thought that
the complaints, which it speedily overcomes « P r«
beyond the reach of human remedy, as for upward
of e thousand ytars. they had hafflpd t h e wisdom
and ingenuity of the profound physicians in
all parts of the world. This Cordial, however to
the g,eat advantage of the human race,soon proved
itself to be the desideratum so long sought for; and
accordingly, notwithstanding the brief peri ,d of jig
existence, it has required a celebrity so great, that
it is eagerly inquired for throughout the civilized
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the demand
was so vast as io render a supply impossible, dig.
posed of the recipe ami right oi sale, under «blig a *
lions of secrecy, f»r England, the United Statea
and other countries, only preserving Franco
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscribe,- p og .
sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and now
hastens to give the inhabitants of his line of agency
the benefits of his speculation.
“le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “th e
Lucira Cordial,” is a general invigorator of the
human frame! In all the various cases of languor
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing reta e .’
dy ; as it is 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 it 8
celebrity is based, is the facility and eerlainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they have
been destroyed by disease,time,recklessness,orany
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really gpod
medicines, this Cordial contains nothing of a mer
curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre
dtents which compose it; but is, at the same time,
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can reno
vate the prostrated energies of 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 be
sure to result from it, weeannotenterintoan analy
sis of this inestimable Cordial here,or publish many
of Ihe documents which have been received, aj
vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num
bers of despairingiiidividuals. But this we cannot
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
the procreant functions, in either sex; and therefore,
that these evils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may he speedily subdued and removed by the
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also an indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus, obstructed, diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon
tinence ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
of. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of theskin,
and in the dropsical affections of the aged.
Most important to the American Public.
The United States proprietor of the celebrated
“ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the following certificate,
w hich he has received from the inventor, the illus
trious Dr. Magnin. of Paris .-
“ Thri 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 I ni!t>d States of North America,
to John Winters Holderwell, M. L>. My reasons
for so doing is, that the demands to meforthe above
Cordial, of which I am the inventor, are so nume
rous, that 1 am unable to supply all the orders from
Franceund Italy alone; and have therefore dtspe
eed of the privileges vouchsafed in this, and other
certificates of a like nature in order to generalise
the benefits of my discovery throughout the world.
Given under ray hand at Paris,on this nineteenth
day of January, in the year of our Lord,

From an immense number of teslirnonials from
the regular faculty, touching the virtues of the
Cordial, I have in particular selected the following
which may be of use to you. You will also find a
number of others of less importance inclosed. Thii
immediate certificate is from a body of eight of the
ablest medical practitioners in France.

“Lucma Cordial” is in our opinion, an infallible
remedy for the prostration of the Procreant Func
lions, and Artificial Barrenness : and therefor murt
prove a blessing to the human race. We ca. also
bear evidence that there is nothingin itof a mer
cunal or deleterious nature ; and m short, the, it is
one of the noblest medicinal discoveries ofany age.

to Dr. Magnin.
I«" now on the wrong side of eighty,and yet 1
could be on my honor or oath if necessary, that 8
bottle or two of your Cordial of Love has madetns
feel as vigorous as a boy of five and twenty. I
think you have discoveied the “Elixir of Life,’

anc. that (pardon my ofiiciousness,) you should have
named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels.
. October 3, 1837.
"r. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am mo»
gratified at the unprecedented popularity ol your
‘Luc?na Cordial,” and am able to hear testimony U)
its surprising virtue. I had a patient receqfi/.
* ™ i a gentleman ol fortune, who had lot
several years abandoned himself in the vortex ot
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of all his virile eoer
was ’ ‘"deed, reduced to the last extremity
ol debility and tastelessness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the result perfect
prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrum*
in such cases; but, as I had anticipated, without
success ; and when 1 saw the “ Lucina Cordial”
Mvertised, I must confess that even the great weigh*
of your name did not give me much hope in it, 8t
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, ro J
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ot
his system ; and he is now, having used four bottle*,
as well is 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
fil t_ a volume as large as the Bible.
