Cohen, proprietor of the universally celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infia matory Rheumatism. Spiains, Lumbago, Pams 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 Us preparation has accom plished, and to the numerous strange and highly respectable testimonials which have, from lime to time, been published to that effect in New \ork and other places. So certain and searching is mis Liniment in its operations, even in cases of long standing, and of a;a 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 will be proper that all persons using the Liniment, see that it is accompanied with the signature of the proprietor in his own hand w nting. Since the introduction of this remedy’ to the public, various empirics have been palmed upon the coun try, Nostrums and Lotions aud 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 enectua ly cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined letters from a few who are well and popu.ar y known to the entire society in New 1 ork, ana whose opinions and professional judgments are universally esteemed. >( „ COHEN> No. 27,5A Hudson street, N.

Radical Cure 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. 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 tins truly distressing and dangerous affection, by the use of these Trusses,besides many others who are in a fair v/ay 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 ai 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. fcb2U F. M. ROBERTSON, M. D. TO THE FACULTY ANf7HEADS~OF FAMILIES. ■|KU.

Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the Tomaio 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 thev 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 in ormation to families to know that the Yellow are just doubly as valuable as the Red 1 omato, and produces twice as much of the hapatinc. or active principle, and when used as i daily vegetable will be found to keep the system in much better condition than the other kind; many will recollect with what trembling c^ omel has beci » given to children, and how they then wished for a substitute. It has ong been known that the Tomato contained cal thartic principles, but not until of late was it ascertained that they contained and diu retie properties.

OR ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION, Warranted to cure in Five Days. r|IHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so A 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- I 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 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 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.

The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn s remedy for this distressing mmpaint is every nay gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment, That so m ich suffering should have existed for ages without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or cure,is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S. now assures the public that such a remedy has been invenied us will convince the most credulous. The 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 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, llnough the stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expects restoration of the natural and healthy functions of the system.

The truth of this posilion cannot be controverted, and the sooner sufferers with Ihe headache become convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his prrfessionai reputation on this fact. Tue 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 celehrityof this unrivalled Compo i 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 the best remedy for rx 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, while swellings, biles, piles, spider and snake bites, «sec. &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 five days, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most desperate cases of w hite swelling that can be ima gined have been destroyed by it m Jess than two months. Inihe biles 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 perva img the system. It is likewise greatly supe rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the chafed back and limbs of horses—for tellers, ring worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter- i nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or \ beast. The proprietor has received at least a thousand certificates, and ol her documents, in favor of his “ Specific Ointm nt,” upwards of a hundred of which were v. ntten 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 alfparts 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 goad effects. The certificates that have been presented to the propiietor exceed twenty thousand! upwards of live hundred of which are from regular practising physicians, who arc the most competent judges of their merits. Often have the cures performed by this medkiu ) been the subject of editorial comment, in variou newspapers and journals; and it may with ti uth be asserted.that no medicine of the kin 1 has ever re ceived testimonials of greater value thin are at tached to this. # They are in general use as a family medicine and there axe.thousands ot families who declare they re never satisfied until they have a supply always on hand. They have no rival in curing and preventing Biliious Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, Furred Tongus, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,Flatulence,Habitu al Costiveness,Loss of Appetite,Blotchedor Sallow I Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, 1 where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are j 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 requestof your agent, Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the almost miraculous effects of your pil's ; 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 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 Ihe 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 pect ng ever}' 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 j 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 I 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 Bai eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen timents of regard, vour 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 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 i to perfect health. Since then, various members of \ my family have used them with equal success — and consequently I feel it my duty to apprise you of the fact, and to request of you to publish this certificate, as lam anxious to add my public testi mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours, THEODORE JAMES. Augusta, Ga., Feb 10, 1839. Communication received from the eminent Dr. J. H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia : Dr. J. P. Peters—My Dear Sir—On the night of the 11th inst., I was called in great haste to the i house of a fellow ci.izen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found his son laboring under a most alarming attack of I ; Cynanche Tracncalis (Croup) and apparently be yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for j tune, however, 1 had in my pocket a broken box of 1 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 j vice—and 1 have the pleasure to be able to inform you that your inestimable medicine is in such great 1 favor with the faculty here, that I bel'eve there is not one of them who does not use it in his private j practice.

In all the various cases of languo** lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing r eme ’ dy ; as it i* equally its province to impart cheerful' ness and decision to the mind, as health and \ lant to the body But the peculiar virtue or. which “u celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with which it restores (he virile powers when they hay* hem destroyed by disease,time.recklessness,oranr of the numerous causes which terminate in th’ e prostration of those functions. In common with the generality of really good medicines, this L ordial contains nothing of a n-er curia! or deleterious nature, among the many i n g rt *. dients which compose it; but is, at the same time so simple, yet so i fficacious, that while it can renol 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 gig-h that, notwithstai.dmg the benefits which would be sure to result from it, vve cannot enter into an analy. sis of this inestimable Cordial here, or publish many of the documents which have been received at vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on mim bers of despairing individuals. But lids wc cannot forbear remarking—that it has been deraoiwtrated g that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of the p roc reant fund tons, in either sex ; and therefore, that these evils arc the eflects of artificial causes' and may be speedily subdued and removed by the use ol “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” I The Litcina Cordial is also cn indubitable cure i for the Gleet, and the Fluor Aibus, obstructed,dtffi. : cult, i>r painful Menstruation; also, for the mcon | tinenet ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge then*, jol It is likewise an invaluable and uurivaJleti medh ine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of theskin, and in the dropsical affections ot the aged.
