RHEUMATISM.
COHEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.—
Dr MB. Cohen, proprietor of the universally
celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic wid Inflam
matory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and
Swellings in the Joirts, &c,, known as ( ohen 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 lime to
time, been published to that effect in New port
and other places. So certain and searching is this
Liniment in its operations, even in cases of iong
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 will be proper that all persons using
he 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 p ofession, as well as by the
thousands of persons who have been effectua >
cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined
letters from a lew who are well and popularly
known to the entire society in Nq w V ork, and
whose opinions and professional judgments aie
univeriaHy esteemed. #| R COHra ,

j Dear Sir—Having frequently witnessed the ap
plication of vour Rheumatic Embrocation,and tie
I beneficial effects arising therefrom, it affords me
pleasure to state that 1 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 Rheum atic 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 Rheunatism.
CHAS. A. VAN ZANDT, M. D.
New York, April 20, 1839.
I certify that I have used Dr. M. B. Cohen’s
Rheumatic Embrocation, and have found it a most
useful adguvant in the treatment of this painful
disease, and therefore hesitate not to recommend it
in all cases of Rheumatism.

I, Henry B. Nones, Ist Lieut, of the Revenue

finally by advice of Dr. W. Rockwell, health offi

the month of July, 183, for a bottle of his Rheu

the specific, was entirely free from all pain, and
was able to resume my place in the service.

Radical Cure of llerniaor Rupture, by l>r.
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 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
1 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 tan have the instruments
applied, upon application at the office, and all ne
cessary information given to enable them to
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, w ill 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,

TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF
FAMILIES.
DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and
does not belong to the faintly 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
lor sale. Since this discovery so long and anx
iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting tc
be made Horn the stalk, a thing not more aosuiu
than for one to offer meal from the corn stalk, to
say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the
Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of
which, fie holds himself bov nd, and in honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, tbs t they are all that they
profess to be, and will do for othcis what thev
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 an? just doubly as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much
of the hapaline, or active principle, and when used
as a daily vegetable will be found to keep the
system in much better condition than the other
kind ; many will recollect with what trembling
anxiety calomel has been given to children, and
how they then wished for a substitute. It has
long been 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 thev
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, ure the Tomato
Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon be in
tbit city. We all know something about this.

o. COSBY’S DYSPEPTIC BITTERS
PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated to
disgust the public eye than the innumerable
advertisements of nostrums that are constantly ap
pearing in the public prints. Alt are ready-to ex
claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained w ith
every day’s reports of ills and specifics. This state
ut 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 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 bit
ters to make them known. He knows they are high
ly efficacious, fur he himself, his w ife, 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 billers
he has been restored to health. Jlrt. to. by was
troubled for many years,but was restored to health
by ihe use olthese hitters. This has been the case I
with many oflns fri. nds. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addresses those who know
him. Ho has been for many yi ars a resident ol
Augusta at which place he can at any lime ba
consulted about ihe 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, lussot appetite, flatulen
cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the

CINQJOURS,
OR
ANTI-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
raxHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
1 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. Cheveves, 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 bis 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 “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
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.”

This Medicine,! warrrnt 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
i 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
i known to obtain such as stricture, hernia, hutnor
alis, incontinence, and a swarm of other of the
most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis
eases, consequent upon erroneous diagnosis and
i treatment of Gonorrhoea.
Those affected are requested to call and try for
themselves. If the prescriptions are well follow

returned.

DR E. SPOHN, a German physician of much
note, having devoted his attention For some
years to the cure and removal of the causes of N EK
VOIIS 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 Iftcy might not only alleviate,
but actually eradicated by the use >f his remedy.
It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely
of a different chaiacler from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACFIE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary repuiation ihat Dr. Spohn .s
remedy lor this distressing compaint is every nay
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That so in ich suffering should have existed lor ages
w'ilhoiit any discovery of an effectual prevenliv i, or
cure,is truly a subject ol much regret but Dr.
I 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 /act that this comp.'auil, 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 uebihlated, ilnough ihe
stomach, and that only through the same channr
must they expects restoration of the natural, anil
! healthy fund ions ol the system. I his object, Dr.
1 Spohn’s remedy is emmenily calculated to attain,
i 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. pledges his j
prr fessioitai reputation on this fact. Jne remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United States. _

fBNHE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo
§ silion,especially in the Northern States, leaves
! the proprietor hut little need to say any thing in its
i favor: for it has been generally conceded to it, that
| it is beyond all comparison the best remedy- for cx
i ternal complaints that has ever been discovered,
j Indeed the’speed and certainly of its operations,
I have tire appearance of miracles ; as ulcers, wounds,
corns,fever sores,chilblains, w hite 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 nays, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperaie cases of w hite swelling that can be ima
gined, have been destroyed by it in 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 they will
j 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
dialed hack and limbs of horses—for tetters, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exlet
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

termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, independent of
ever* other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, I applied y-onr 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 be expected. The
cure was effected in lather less 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.

I hereby substantiate the truth ol the above

Dear Sir—l have to request of yon to forward
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most
immediate conveyance, and v\ithout regard to the
expense of carriage, as lam quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add,
that further » xperience has increased m\ enthusi

Sir—’l he virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been longknown to me,as I have used none other
in my rather extensive practice forseveral years, and
if y«u thinK it would 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 nicer,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 lo learn who is your authorised agent inthis
city, for,being in want c.f a .supply of your oint
ment, and the perton Mr. Boyle,from whom 1 used
to purchase it, having failed and gone out of bust

may be imposed on by a counterfeit.

The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a

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 pißs; andl would
add, that you may make use oi 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 ave the benefits we haveieceiv
cd from them in general, that I would rather pur
chase them at ten dollars abox than have my house
without them. 1 will not enumerate the afflictions
they have relieved us of-, but I can assure you they
were many, and of very opposite natures, which
has fully proved to me that your medicine is a sim
ple purifier of the system, and therefore equally
the enemy of every disease. I will mention one
case. I have a sister who had been for a long pe
riod severely afflicted with dropsy in the chest and
was brought by it to the very verge of the grate.
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 Le 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 1 could mention many more
of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills
were equally successful in rescuing the patients
from the jaws of death. Need I add that the popu
larity of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in
this section of the country ? But this I presume
you know from the immense quantity you dispose
of. I may mention, however, that notwithstanding
its general use, I never heard an individual complain
of its effects. My residence is 12 miles from Ral
eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen
timents of regard, your ob’t servant.
A. G, BANKS.
To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upwards 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
i of our best physicians, and I am most grateful and
I happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used
j 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 1 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-
I mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,

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 (Cronp) 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 administere i, 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.

which it restores the virile powers when they havs I
hem destroyed by disease,time,recklessness.orany I
of the numerous causes which terminate in the I
prostration of ihose functions.
In common with the generality of really good I
medicines, this* ordiai conta.ns nothing of a rner
curial or deleterious nature, among the many inner-. *
clients which compose it; but is, at Tie same time
so simple, yet so e Ificacious, that while it can ren o !
vate the prosiratod energies of a giant, an infant
may use it,not only with impunity, but whh ad

The usages of society are unfortunately such
that, notwithstanding ihe benefits which would be

that these evils arc the effects of artificial causes, B

lo Hr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l ora mos
gratified at the unprecedented popularity ot your
Luc. na Cordial, and am able to hear testimony to
Us surprising virtue. I had a patient recently,
I —7 , a gentleman ot fortune, who had lor
several years abandoned himself in the vortex oi
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of all his virileeuer
*»»• , , de w °s»indeed,reduced to the last extremity
U r lty and r tstelessness. for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate,and the result pehe' 1
prostration. I had applied ail tue usual nostrams
m such cases ; but, as 1 had anticipated, without
success ; and when f saw the “ Lucina Cordial
advertised, I must confess that even Ihe great weight
of your name did not give me much hope in it, at
least so far as regarded the s-ese in hand. I fed
bound lo try it, however,and was soon satisfied of
Us efficacy : for before a bottle was expended, mV
patient gave evidence of tlie returning elasticity
us system,; and he is now, having used four hot lit’* 1 !
as weilts ever.
