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 , No. 275 i Hudson street,N.

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, feb 20 F. M. ROBERTSON, M. D. 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. June IS 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.

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.” Signed WABINOSHE,his X mark.

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.

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. _ For sale by ANTON\ & HAINES, No. 2 t - Broad-street, Augusta. tnar 2G 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 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 good elfects. The certificates that have been presented to the propnetor exceed twenty thousand! upwards of five hundred oi which are from regular practising physicians, w ho arc the most competent judges of their merits. ( ften have the cures performed by this meuicm been the subject of editorial comment, in varum newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be asserted, that no medicine of the kin i 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 are.lhousands of families who declare the} rc never satisfied until they have a supply alway s on hand. They have no rival in curing and preventing Billions Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles, Choiic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Howels, incipientDiarrhoea,Flatulence,Habitu al Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or Sallow Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, j 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 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, 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 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.

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.
