all persons suffering from these disea es to the
thousands of cures that his preparation has accom-
oiished, and to the numerous strange and high!} ,
recoectable testimonials which have, from time to
time, been published to that effect in New \or (
and other places. So certain and searching is this
Liniment in its operations, even in cases ot 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 will be proper that all P e *‘ !I ?J

Sirice 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 radical piofession, as well as by the
thousands of persons who have been effectua-ly
cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined
letters from a few who are well an(l a nd

whose opinions and professional judgments are
universally esteemed. M COHEN>

Radical Cure olTferma or Rupture, by I>r.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
riNHE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
1 store of Nlessrs. J. J. Robertson &Co., for the
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,
j 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 jJr. Chase have effected
the permanent and accurate retention of the in
testines in every case of Hernia observed by a 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 at the office, and all ne
cessary information given to enable them to adjusf
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.

DR. 3IILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute 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
wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them
for 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 liom the stalk, i 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, he holds himself bound, and in honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they are all that they
proless to be. and will do for others what they
have done for such as naav 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 are just doubly as valuable
as the Ked 1 onialo, and produces twice as much
of the haputine, or active principle, and wi.cn 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
ca i omel has been given to children, and

PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated to
disgust the public eye than tha innumerable
advertisements ot nostrums that are constantly ap
pearing in the public prints. All are ready to ex
claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained with
every day’s reports of ills and specifics. 1 bis state
ot 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.-
Stall, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from
making known real discoveries, which weajecjn
fident will benefit our fellow men. This latter
consideration has prompted the author of these bit
iers to make them know n. He knows they are high- j
|y efficacious, for he himself, his wife, and many j
friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was
himself a confirmed dyspeptic,so much, t hat even
his recollection was gone. By using these hitters
he has been restored to health. Mre. ( osby was j
troubled for many yea-s, but was restored to hea.lh .
by ihe use ol these hitters. This has been the case ,
w ith many of his fri< nds. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addressesthose who know
him. He has been for many years a resident of
Augusta at which place he can at any time b«
consulted about the bitters. They are good in all
cases of diseases of the digestive organs,the symp
toms of w hich are indigestion, pain or oppression
in the stomach from food, lossot appetite, flatulen
cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain m the
side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
ness, disluibed sleep, die The composition is en
tirely Botanical, arc! has proved efficacious w hen
many celebrated medicines had failed. In support
of w hich he refers them to Freeman W. l acy, she
riff of Richmond count', and William T. I horn p
son, editor of tl»e Augusta Mirror, and he might re
fer you to many others, but deems it unnecessary,
as he is willing to place it on its own merits. All

ANTi-BALSAMJC gonorrhceal SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Day*.
rgtHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
J long known, and used with such unpanalleled
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 w-ho 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 while 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. Chevtfret, (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; therebj
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
alsound 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.

HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. bpohn s
j remedy lor this distressing rompaint is every day

i That so m ich suffering should have existed for ages
! without any discovery of an effectual preventiv i, or
I cure, is truly a subject of much regret hut Dr. b.
! now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. Ihe
principles on which it acts are simple and plain. Ins
kn a mined fact that this complain!, 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, tiie stomach, is the first cause, that th-sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, Enough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
roust they expect s restoration ol the natural and
healthy functions ol the system. This object, Dr.
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to aitain.
The truth of this position cannot he controverted,
and the sooner sufferers with the headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his

FIT HE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo-
JL silion,especially in.the Northern States, leaves
I the proprietor hut little need to say any thing in its
favor: for it has been generally conceded to ir,that
it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed the’specd and certainly of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wouuds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, white swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, &c. &c., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, il prop
erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or
break and heal ahiiein five nays, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer m two weeks, and the most
desperate cases of w hite 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 rime, its
povversof attraction are so wonderful than lit 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 hack and limbs of horses —for tetters, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter
nal bodily evil that may fall lo the lot of man or
beast.
The proprietor has received at least a thousand
certificates, and other documents, in favor of his

which were written by respectable members of the

Dear Sir—My daughter,a girl of lourtctn, was
sadly afflicted witn theoomp aim lhal physicians
termed a scald head ; and i feared, tndepe dent of
every oilier evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. l ernn, i applied your ointment to the |
afflicted part; and 1 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 lather less than two months ;
during which time 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.

Dear Sir—l have to request of yon to forward
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the mosl
immediate conveyance, and without regard to the
expense of carriage, as lam quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know ray estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add,
tnat further txperience has increased my enthusi

perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.

Sir—- The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as I have used none other
in my rather extensive practice lor several 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 ore of a severe
and apparently perpetual ulcer,in ’he back of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who res des in 216 Di
vision street, which it completely healed in twenty
one days. My present chief object in writing to
you, is to learn who is your authorised agent in this
city, for, being in want of a supply of your oint
ment, and the person Mr. Boyle,from whom I used
to purchase it, having tailed and gone out of busi
ness, I am fearful if I purchase at random, that I
may be imposed on bv a counterfeit.

Sir, —1 have no hesitation in stating, m reply to
your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal lo the majority ol the ends for which vou re
commend it. I qualify my certificate by tho word
majority, as it is my maxim to gtve no opinion in
medical mauers where 1 have had no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
lows, piles,&c.,it is mv universal recipe- I have
also used it on the leg of a boy which had been
bitten by an adder, and the extraction of the poison
and ultimate cure was so rapid, that my patient was
as well as ever in a week ; and has remained so to
this day.

The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planterof 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; and I would
add, that you may make use of them, in connection
with my name, in any manner you deem proper, I
speak of their merits from experience, as 1 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 w r ould 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 vv ith 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
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 ? 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 of fifteen
months, I have been ciuelly 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 ph>sicians, and I am most grateful and
happy in being able to add. that 1 had scarcely used
two boxes when I found that they had restored me
: to perfect health. Since then, various members of
I my family have used them with equal success —
i 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.

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 ciazen, (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 administcie 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.

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

of the quantity taken, and are decidedly superior
to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.

LE CORDIAL DE LUC INK
OU L’KLIXIR DE L’AMOUR. *
fJIIIE subscriber has the pleasure of anrionncm
j to the citizens of the U. States, thut he h*
purchased, fora very large sum and from the m
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of p ari3 "
recipe ard ri-iht fur making this astonishing medi
cine. Until the appearance of the ‘ Lochia Cor
dial,’’ (about three years since,) it was thought that
the complaints,which it speedily overcomes were
beyond Ihe reach of human remedy, as for upward
of a thousand ytars. they had baffled th e wisdom
and ingenuity of the most profound physicians m
all parts ot the world. This Cordial, h’ovvcier to
ih“ great advantage of the human race,soon proved
itself to be the desideratum so lung sought for • and
accordingly, notwithstanding U e brief peri d of t*
existence, it has required a celebrity so great that
it is eagerly inquired for throughout ihe civilized
globe. Dr Magnin soon findmathat the demand
was so vast as to render a supply impossible, dig.
posed of the recipe and right of sale, underoblia a .
lions of secrecy, t«r England, the United State*
and other countries, only preserving France ond
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber n og .
sessed himself of Jhe invaluable secret; cud now
hastens to give the inhabitants of his line of agency
the benefits of his speculation.
“Le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “ih e
Lucira Cordial,” is a general invigorator 0 f ih e
human frame ! In all the various cases of languor
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing rc me !
dy ; as if is equally its province to impart cheerful,
■ness and decision to the mind, os health ami \i» or
to the body But the peculiar virtue on which °itg
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainly with
which it restores the virile powers when they have
hesn desiroied by disease,time,recklessness,orany
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of ihose functions.
In common with the generality of reaily good
medicines, thist ordial contains nothing of a mer
cnrial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre.
dients which compose it; but is, at ihe same tuns
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can reno
vate the prosirated 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, we cannot enter into an analy.
sis of this ine-timable Cordial here, or publish many
of thedocuments which have been received, as
vouchers ot the blessings it has conferred on num
bersof despairing individuals. But t;.is vve cannot
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, it any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
the p roc reant lunctions,in either sex ; and therefore,
that these evils arc the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued and removed by the
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Coidial is also an indubitable cun
for the Gleet, and ihe Fluor A Ibiis, obstructed, diffi.
cult, or painful Menstruation; also, for ihe incon
tinence o! Urine,or the irivolhniary discharge there
of It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine in cases of Chronic Eruptions ol t hi skin,
and in the dropsical affections ol the aged.
Most important to the American Public.
The United Stales proprietor of the celebrated
“ Lucma Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the following certificate,
which he has received from the inventor, the illus
trious Dr. Magnin.of Paris .-
“ I'hii is to certify, that I have disposed of the
recipe for mrking the “Lue.na Cordial,” or
“ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it
throughout the I niltd States of North America,
to John Winters Holderwell, M. D. My reasons
fur so doing is, that ihe demands to me for the above
Cordial, of which lam the inventor, are so nume
rous, that I am unable to supply all the orders from
France and Italv alone; and have therefore dispo
sed of the privileges vouchsafed in tins, and other
certificates of a like nature in order to generalise
the benefits of my discovery throughout the world.

prove a blessing to the human race. We ca a lso

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels.
. October 3, 1337.
To Dr. Magnin;—My dear friend—l am raos
gratified at the unprecedented populariiv ol your
“Luc’iia Cordial,” and am abie ro hear testimony to
its surprising virtue, i had a patient recently*
1 M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had for
several years abandoned himself in the vortex ot
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at.
length by the utter prostration of all his v irile ener
gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last exiremiiy
of debility and t isteiessness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the resmt pcriect
prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrum*
in such cases; hut, as I had anticipated, without
success ; ami when 1 saw the “ Lucina Cordial”
advertised, I must confess that even the great weight
of your name did not give me much hojie in it*
least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1 k'j
bound to try it,however, and was soon satisfied °*
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, tny
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity at
his system ; and he is now, having used four bottle*'
as well is ever.
The number of documents, such as the abo'®
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since ihe
first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” would
