Cohen, proprietor of the universally celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla- I matory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and Swellings in the Joints, fee., known as Cohen’s j Rheumatic Embrocation, begs respectfully to refer all persons suffering from these diseases to the thousands of cures that his preparation has accom plished, and to the numerous strange and highly resjiectable testimonials which have, from time to i time, been published tJthat effect in New York and other places. So certain and searching is this Liniment 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 selected from hundreds of others of a like de j 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, I various empirics have been palmed upon the coun ! try. Nostrums and Lotions, and Liniments, and i “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 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 universally esteemed. M. B. COHEN, No. 275£ Hudson street, N. Y. New York, Aug. 3, 1838. Dear Sir —Having frequently witnessed the ap plication of vour Rheumatic Embrocation,and the beneficial effects arising therefrom, it affords me pleasure te state that I 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.

PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated lo | ; disgust the public eye than Ihe innumerable 1 • advertisements of nostrums that are constantly ap- , pearing in the public prints. All are ready to ex- 1 ( claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained with every day’s reports of ills and specifics. This state 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. 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, 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. Hy using these bitters he has been restored to health. Mrs. Cosby was troubled for many years, but was restored to health by the use of these bitters. This has been the case w ith many of his fritnds. Mr. Cosby in sending forth this advertisement, addresses those who know him. Ho 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, lossol appetite, flatulen cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak ness, disluibed sleep, &c The composition is en tirely Botanical, and has proved efficacious when many celebrated medicines had failed. In support of which he refers Freeman VV. Lacy, she riff of Richmond countv, and William T.

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 da} r s,” —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 who rely witk, 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 Ottowa and 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.

SPOHN, a German physician of much note, having devoted his attention for some I years to the cure and removal of the causes of NER- 1 VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis faction lo make known, lhat he has a remedy which by removing the causes cures effeclually and perma nently this distressing complaint. There are many families who have considered Sick Headache aeon-, stitutional incurable family complaint* Dr. S', sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring under distress which iney might not only alleviate, but actually eradicated by the us® >f 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 lo the taste. HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS. The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s remedy for this distressing corapaint is every day gaining is certainly a matter ofmuch astonishment, That somnch suffering should have existed forages 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 invented as will convince the most credulous. principles on w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is 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, lhat lh a sys tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough ihe stomach, and lhat only through the same channel must they expect s restoration of the natural and healthy functions of the system. This object, Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attaifw 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. For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 Broad-street, Augusta. mar 26 ffflHE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compdt j|_ 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 the’speed and certainty of its operations, have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds, corns, fever sores, chilblains, white swellings, biles, plies, spider and snake bites, &c. &c., immediately yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, it prop erty 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 casesot w bite swelling that can be ima gited. 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 at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from pervading the system. It is likewise greatly sup® 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 Oinlra nt,” upwards of a hundred of which were written by respectable members of the Medical Faculty.

By the recommendation, however, of the Reverend Mr. Perrin, I applied your ointment lo 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 be expected. The cure was effected in rather less than two months ; during winch time I used fiv dollars worth of oint ment; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars duiing the previous three yean, without any benefit whatever.

Respectfully yours, CHARLES P. EMERSON, M. D. New Orleans, Maich 20th, 1838 1 Dr. Harrison. Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have been long known to me, as I have used none other in my rather extensive practice for 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 tw*enty 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 failed and gone out of busi ness, I am fearful if Ipurchaseat random, that I may be imposed on by a counterfeit. Your obedient servant, EDWARD RAMSEY, M. D. _ Cincinnati, August 9,1837. Dr. Harrison. Sir, —I have no hesitation in stating, in reply to your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly equal lo the majority of the ends for which you re commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by the word majority, as it is my maxim to give nc opinion in medical matters where I have had no experience. In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit lows, piles, &c., it is m v 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 Yours respectfully, HENRY JACOBS.

They have passed away from the hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide, of experiment, and now stand before the public ask high in reputation, and as extensively employed in all parts of the United States, the Canadas, Texas Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine tha‘ has evor been prepared for the relief of suffering man. They have been introduced wherever it was found possible to carry thorn ; and there are but few towns that do not contain some remarkable •evidences of their good effects. The certificates that have been presented to the prop: ietor exceed twenty thousand! upwards of five hundred of which are from regular practising physicians, who are the most competent judges of their merits. Often have the cures performed by this medicin been the subject of editorial comment, in variou newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be asserted, that no medicine of the kini 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.thousands of families who declare they re never satisfied until they have a supply always 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, Cholic, F male Obstructions, Heartburn, Furred Tongue, Ne Distension of the Stomach and Bowels, IncipientDiarrhoea,Flatulence,Habitu al Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or Sallow Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are 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 request of 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 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 ai*e the benefits we have receiv ed from them in general, that I would rather pur chase them at ten dollars abox 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 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 j 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 s 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' h id 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 lam anxious to add ray public testi mony to the almost miraculous virtues of y r our 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 J found his s n n laboring under a most alarming attack of Cyn . Tracnealis (Croup) and apparently be yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for tune, however, I had in rny 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 1 practice. Yours most resp’y. March 13, 1839. J. H. IRWIN, M. D. Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo ! gait, of Providence, R, 1., Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’ pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi i cine, those effects being produced by the differences | of the quantity taken, and are decidedly superior to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills. Extract from a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor, Me , Jan. 9, 1839. They are a peculiarly mild, yet efficient purgative medicine, and produce little, if any, griping or nausea.

Slates, ih«t.'he h* purchased, for a very large sum and from t lle ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of p aris , n recipe ar d right for making this astonishing nip I* cine. Until the appearance of the “Lucina C dial,’’ (about three years since,) it was thought the complaints,which it speedily overcomes «■.!?' beyond the reach of human remedy, as furunu-ii of a thousand years, they had bafflpj [f, t V s and ingenuity of the most profound physi c i ans ° m all pans ol the world. This Cordial, however u the great advantage of the human race,soon prove!! itself to be the desideratum so long sought lor; an d accordingly, notwithstanding ti e brief peri dos , U existence.it has required a celebrity so great, tb" it Is eagerly inquired for throughout ihe ; civilized globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the <lern was so vast as to render a supply impossible, ds. posed of the recipe and right of sale, underoblig a tiuns of secrecy, f*r England, the United Bt;ueg and otliei countries, only preserving France o r ,c Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber p os . sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and now hastens to give the inhabitants of his line of agency the benefits of his speculation. “Le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “fl le Lucira Cordial,” is a general invigorator of fl le human frame ! In all the various cases of languor lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing reme dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor to the body Bui the peculiar virtue on which m celebrity is based, is the lacihty and certainty vviih which it restores the virile powers when they hav# been desfroved by disease.lime,recklessness,orany of the numerous causes which terminate in the prostration of ihose functions. In common with the generality of really good medicines, this I ordial contains nothing of a mer 'r.urial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre dients which compose it; but is, at the same tune so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can reno 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 such, that, nolwnhstandmg the benefits which would be* sure to result from it, we cannot enter into an analy sis ol this iueiimable Cordial here, or publish many of the documents which have been received, as vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num bers of despairing individuals. But this wc 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 ot the procreant functions, in either sex ; and therefore, that those evils arc the effects of artificial causes, and may be speedily subdued and removed by the use ol “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” The Lucina Cordial is also tn indubitable cure for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus, obstructed, diffi cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon tinence ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there of It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled medicine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of theskin, and in the dropsical affections of the aged. Most important to the American Public. The United Slates proprietor of the celebrated “ Lucina 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 .- “ This is to certify,that I have • disposed of the recipe for making the “Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it throughout the t nited States of North America, to John Winters Holderwell, M.

My reason* for so doing is, t hat the 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 this, and other certificates of a like nature in order to generalise the benefits of my discovery throughout the world.

Postscript to the above. As you requested me to state the number of bot ties ol the 44 Lucina Cordial,” which I have already sold, I have referred to my books, and find it to ex ceed four bundled thousand ; while the orders now on hand cannot be supplied in less than three months. From an immense number of testimonials from the regular faculty, touching the virtues of the Cordial, I have in particular selected the following, w hich may be of use to you. You will also find a number of others of less importance inclosed. This immediate cen.ficate is from a body of eight of the ablest medical practitioners in France. To Dr. Magnin, inventor of i he Lucina Cordial,or Elixir of i»ve Respected and Honored tsir :—We iiave all in a variety of cases, tested the remarkable effect* ot your great discovery, and have assembled lor the purpose of hearing evidence to the facts, and tend ering you the honor which is your due The “ Lucina Cordial” is in our opinion, an intallible remedy for the prostration oft lie Procream func lions, and Artificial Barrenness : andtherefoi must prove a blessing to the human race.

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels October 3, 1837. To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am mos gratified at the unprecedented popularity of your “Luc ; na Cordial,” and am able so hear lestunony to its surprising virtue. I had a patient recently, several years abandoned himself in the vortex ot dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at length by*ihe utter prostration of all his virile ener fßes - He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity of debility and tastelessness, for, if an occasional flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac tion was almost immediate, and the result perlect prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrums in such cases; but, as I had anticipated, without success ; and when 1 saw the 44 Lucina Cordial” advertised, I must confess that even the great weight of your name did not give me much hojie in it, at lease so far as regarded the case in hand. I fed bound to fry it, however, and was soon satisfied ol its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, ray patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of his system ; and he is now, having used four bottles, as well as ever. The number of documents, such as the above which have been received by Mr. Maguin, since the first appearance of 44 Le Cordial de Lucine.” would fill a volume as large as the Bible.
