“ The instruments of Dr. Chase have effected
the permanent and accurati retention of the in

for the reason that the compt ent parts are made

be made from the stalk, a tl ng not more aosuiu
than for one to offer meal froi the corr stalk to

so far North. k
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is l ie proprietor of the

which, he holds himself bourn! and in honor pledg
ed to prove by theii use, that iiey are all that they
profess to be, and will do f<jjj otheis what they
have done for such as mav give used them; as
.his is a vegetable of great usi, and value, it will
doubtless be valuable infornaltion to families to
know that the Yellow are jus|cioubly as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much
of the bapatine, or active principle, and when used
■as a daily vegetable will be found to keep the
system m much better condJ uu than the other
kind; many will recollect wit a what trembling
anxiety calomel has been gi lm to children, and
how they then wished for a iebstitute. It has
long been known that the Ti nato contained ca
thartic principles but not uz ril of late was it
arcertained that they containec alterative and diu

the preparation most cheerially lor the reason that

celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Inila- (

all persons sufferiif| from these diseases to the ’
thousands of cures that his preparation has accom- ;
plishei, and to the numerous strange and highly 1
respectable testimonials which have, from time to ]
time, been published to that effect in New York
and other places. So certain and searching is this
Linim ?nt 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 seeded 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

various empirics have been palmed upon the coun- 1

“Infallible Rheumatic Mixtures,” all of which be- j

more or less, to injure the system rather than re- i
move any complaint. In proof of the estimation i
in which the Embrocation is held by respectable
men in the medical profession, as well as by the
thousands of persons who have been effectually
cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined
letters from a few who are well and popularly
known to the entire society in New York, and
whose opinions and professional judgments are

o. COSBY'S dyspeptic bittbb*.
PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated to
disgust the public eye than the innumerable
advertisement* of nostrums that are constantly ap
pearing in the public prints. Ail are ready to ex
claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained with
every day’s reports of ills and specific*. This slate
of 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 th» public.
Sul I, 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 ol these hit
ters to make them known. He knows they are high
ly efficacious, for he himself, his wife, 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 bitters
he has been restored to health. 31 rr. Cosby W’as
troubled for many years,but was restored to health
by the use of these bitters. This has been the case
with many of his friends. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addresses those 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 which are indigestion, pain or oppression
in the stomach from food, lossot appetite, flatulcTi
cv, heart hum, giddiness in the head, pain in the
side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
ness, disturbed sleep, &c The composition is en

CINQ JOURS,
OR
ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
yjIHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
X 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 warlikejtrince,
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.”

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

from the sudden cure of Gonorrhoea, have been
known to obtain such as stricture, hernia, humor

most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis

The French Pills are applicable in all cases, foi
either sex, (warranted free from Mercury,; and po*
sesses great advantages over the Balsams and all
liquid medicines, by being entirely free from smell,
and consequently do not effect the breath, thereby
preventing the possibility of discovery while using
them.
Besides this important advantage, thev never
disagree with the stomach, and in the first stages of
the disease they usually effect a cure in a few days,
with little regard to ciel or exposure.
In the roost obstinate stages of the disease, they
are equally certain, having cured many after every
other remedy hV failed. In short they have been
so universally success!t that the proprietor dial

sent for your Pills I had been troubled with the
disease for nearly 6 months, and had tried a great
many medicines without any effect. During the
first six weeks 1 was under a Physician of this
place, but finding little or no chance of being cured
by him, I left him, and a few days after visited
Philadelphia, where 1 bought a variety of advertised
specifics (almost enough to stock an apothecary shop
and all of this 1 took with the same success as be

Mot knowing what to resort to next,and seeing you
French PiPs advertised in the Public Ledger,

get them sooner, as it might saved me fort

DR. E. SPOtiiN, a Owinsn phydeea ol much
note, having devoted his attention for ■°™ e
years tothecure and removal oflhect uses of NER
VOUS 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 whd have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint* Dr. S. as
sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which tney might not only alleviate,
but actually eradicated by the use if his remedy.
It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely
of a different character from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy lor this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matterof much astonishment.
That so m «ch suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual preventiv ;, or
cure,is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. The
principles on vv hich it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a milted fact that this complaint, w’hethercalled
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach —those who think they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured t.hat this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of ihe natural 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 health. Dr. Spohn pledges his
professional reputation on this fact. Tne remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.

THE great celebrityof this unrivalled Compo
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 ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed and certainty of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wouuds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, white swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, &c. <fec., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, il prop
erly applied it will remove an inveterate corner
break and heal a bile in five days, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer mttvo weeks, and the most
desperate cases of white swelling that can be ima
gir ed, have been destroyed by it in less than two
months. Inihe 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
at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from
perva ling the system. It is likewise greatly supe
rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the
chafed back and limbs of horses—for tetters, 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 at least a thousand
certificates, and other documents, in favor of his
“ Specific Oinim nrupwards of a hundred of
which were written by respectable members of the

Dear Sir—My daughter,a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn thecomp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, independent of
every other evil, thai she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, I applied your ointment to the ;
afflicled part; and 1 thank God that my child is I
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is |
getting her hair as fast as can be ex|*ected The I

during the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

Dear Sir —I have to request of yon to forward
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most
immediate conveyance, and without regard to the
expense of carriage, as lam quite out, and much
in want ol it. —You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore 1 shall only add,
that further experience has increased my enthusi
asm and established me in the opinion, that it is su
perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.

Dr. Harrison.
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as 1 have used none other
in my rather extensive practice lor several years, and
if you 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 ulcer, in the back of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di
vision street, which it completely healed in twenty
onedays. 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 1 purchase at random, that I
may be imposed on bv a counterfeit.
Your obedient servant,

Dr Harrison.
Sir, —I have no hesitation in stating, in reply to
your note, t hat your “ Specific Otniment” is truly
equal to the majority ol the ends for which vou re
commend it. 1 qualify ray certificate by the word
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters where 1 have had no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflainmat ions, eruptions, whit
lows, piles, &c., it is rav 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 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 1 and my
family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
years ; and so great arc the benefits we have receiv
ed from them in general, that 1 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 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
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 upward 3 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
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 I am anxious to add my public testi
mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,

Communication received from the eminent Dr. a.
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 (Croap) and apparently be
yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
tune, however, 1 had in my pocket a broken box of
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
vice—and I 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. 1., Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’

Extract from a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor,

and othei countries, only preserving France a!*
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber 0 C
sessed himself of ihe invaluable secrei ; and n ■
hastens to give the inhabitants of his line ofagenc'
the benefits of his speculation. v
“le C ordial De Lucine,” or, in English, ",k
Lucica Cordial,” is a general invigorator of oj*
human frame! In all Ihe various cases of lane u nC
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing renT’
dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful"
ness and decision to the mind, as health and vi»
to the body But the peculiar virtue on which «
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they hay
been destroyed by disease, time, recklessness,oranv
of the numerous causes which terminate in tfo
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this Cordial conta.ns nothing of a ruer
curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre.
dients which compose it; but is, at ihe same time
so simple, yet so ♦ fficacious, that while it can reno!
vale 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 such
that, notwithstanding the benefits which would he
sure to result from it, we cannot enter into an analy
sis ol this ine tunable Cordial here, or publish many
of the documents which have been received as
vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num
bers of despairingindividuals. But th is wc cannot
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility ol
ihe procreant functions, in either sex ; and therefore,
that these evils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued „nd removed by the
use ol “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also in indubitable cur*
for the Gleet, and the Fluor A Ibns, obstructed, diffi.
cult, or painful Menstruation; also, for the incon

ol It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled

I am now on the wrong side of eighty, and yet 1
could be on my honor or oath if necessary, that s
bottle or two of your Cordial ot Love has made me
feel as vigorous as a boy of five and twenty. I
think you have discovered the “Elixir of file,’
which the alchy mists have been so long in quest oi;
anti that (pardon my officiousttess,; you should have
named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels.
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend —l am mou
gratified at the unprecedented popularity of your
“Luc ; na Cordial,” and am able to bear testimony to
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently,
1 M , a gentleman oI fortune, who had for
several years abandoned hnusell in the vortex 01
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener
gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity
of debility and tisteiessness. for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the result perfect
prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrum*
in such cases ; but, as 1 had anticipated, without
success; ami when 1 saw the “ Lucina Cordial
advertised,! must confess that even the great weigh:
of your iitiue did not give me much hoj« in it, a:
least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1
bound to try it,however,and was soon satisfied ol
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ol
his system ; and he is now, h>iving used lour bold®**
as well as ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the
first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” would
fill a volume as large as the Bible.
