So certain *ad 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 following letters are selected from hundreds of others of a like de scription. It wi,l 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 s he 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 1 men in the medical profession, as well as by the thousands of persons who have been effectua ly cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber nas subjoined letters from a few who are weH and popularly known to the entire society in New Aork, and | whose opinions and professional judgments are universally esteemei.

Since this discovery so long and anx iously looked for, some one in almost the extreir* North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purpoitingH 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. I 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 I 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 I know that the Yellow are just doubly as valuable as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much I of the hapatine, or active principle, and when used I as a daily vegetable will be found to keep the 1 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 he bound to reject the medicine, as they justly do the or e 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 lomato Fill,ot which a supply, we learn, will soon he in this city. We all know something about this.

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 wearcther trusses; tiials that would be imprudent with anv 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- u etCnt “*r 10 herni *’ and as furnishing the highest chances of radical cure.” fol ,° Win * is from the Southern Medical and Southern Journal published in mr own city All must admit of the radical c.™ J V and that l) r .

OR ' ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION, Warranted to cure in Five Days. fJAHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so J long known, and used with such unparralieled 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 Wasenothe, 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 ia America, with a solemn promise to the Great Spirit, never to divulge the “ait 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 .VI. Chcveret, 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 Ottov. a and ■ 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.” Signed WABINOSHE,his X mark.

There are many families w ho have considered Sick Headache a con stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as sures them that ihey are mistaken, and labouring under distress which tney might not only alleviate, but actually eradicated by the us if his remedy. It is lhe result of scientific research, and is entirely of a different chat acter from advertised patent medi cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste. HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS. The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s remedy for this distressing eompaint is every day gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment, That so m ich suffering should have existed forages without any discovery of an effectual preventiv?, or j cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S. | now assures the public that such a remedy has been j invented as will convince the most credulous. The j principles on which it acts are simple and plain. Itis : an a milled fact that this complaint, whether called Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim -1 anly 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, thiougb the stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expect s restoration ol ihe naiural 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 with the headache become convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end in restoration of heallh, Dr. Spohn pledges his professional reputation on this fact. Ine remedy may be had of apothecaries generally throughout the United States. For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 Broad-street, Augusta. mar 26 FINHE great celebrityof this unrivalled Compo -1 ailion,especially in the iNorlhern States, leaves the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its favor: fur 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 the'speed and certainty of its operations, have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, weuuds, corns, fever sores,chilblains, while swellings, biles, piles, spider and snake bites, &c. &c., immediately yiehl 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 desperate casesot white swelling that can be ima gined have been destroyed by it m 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) hr y will at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from perva ting the system. It is likewise greatly supe rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the chafed back and limbs of horses—lor tellers, 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 “ Specific Ointm nt,” upwards of a hundred of which were w ritten by respectable members of the Medical Faculty.

They have passed away from the 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 are but few towns that do not contain some remarkable evidences of their good effects. The ceitilicates that have been presented to the propiietor exceed twenty' thousand! upwards of five hundred of which are from regular practising physicians, w lie are the most competent judges of their merits. Often have the cures performed by this medkin been the subject of editorial comment, in vac ton newspapers and journals; and it may with ti uth be asserted, that no medicine of the kinl has evei ie ceived testimonials of greater value th in are at tached to this. . They are in general use as a family medicine and there are.thousandsof families who declare they re never satisfied until they have a supply always on hand. They have no rival in curing and preventing j Billious Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver j Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bowels, lncipientDiarrhcea,Flalulence,Habilu al Costiveness, Loss of Appetite,Blotchedor Sallow Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are exceedingly mild in their operation, producing neither nausea, griping no; 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 pil l s; and I w’ould 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 are 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 jie 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 pect ng 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 yom medicine amounts to enthusiasm in this section of the country ? But this 1 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" of fifteen | months, I have been ciuelly afflicted with Fever j and Ague; and during the time could hnd nothing— i { though I had applied to every thing that gave me ■ any thing like permanent relief. At length, how- i ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one of our best phy sicians,and lam most grateful and i happy in being able to add, that I had scarcely used two boxes when I found that they had restored me 1 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 | 1 certificate, as lam anxious to add my public testi j mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un- j 1 | rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours, THEODORE JAMES. 1 Augusta, Ga., Feb 10, 1839. Communication received from the eminent Dr. J. j H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia: Dr. J. P. Peters—My Dear Sir—On the night of i the llthinst.,l was called in great baste to the | house of a fel ow ci.izen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found his son laboring under a most alarming attack of | Cynanche Tracnealis (Croup) and apparently be j yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for- ' | tune, however, I had in my pocket a broken box of j your pills four of which i administere i, with j such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes jmy patient was at ease, and out of danger. This ! I case, in connection with my name is at your ser -1 vice—and 1 have the pleasure to be able to inform | you that your inestimable medicine is in such groat favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is not one of them who does not use it in his private practice.

IRWIN, M D Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo gart, of Providence, R. 1., Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’ pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi- j | cine, those effects being produced by the differences < l of the quantity taken, and are decidedly superior | to Lee s, Hrandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills. i Extract fiom a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor ' le , Jan. 9, 1839 They are a peculiarly mild, yet efficient purgative medicine, and produce little if 1 any, griping or nausea.
