f 11H E subscriber has op nod an office, at the Drug
1 store of Messrs. J. J, Robertson it Co., forths
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means of these
ustly celebrated instnim. tits. He has now used
them for nearly a year, ad, did not delicacy forbid,
he could name several per ons who have been radi
cally cured, o; this truly i! stressing and dangerous
affection, by the useo f the >e Trusses, besides many
others who are in a fair v, ly of being entirely re
lieved. The following is |hd language of the com
mittee of the Philadelph. > Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia.
“ The instruments of D*. Chase have effected
the permanent and accui te retention of the in
testines in every case of 1 lernia observed by the
committee, without mater a I inconvenience to the
patient, and often under uials more severe than
are usually ventured upon by those who wearcther
trusses; trials that wouh be imprudent with any
other apparatus known to the committee.”
“ The committee are h luced by the foregoing
conclusions to recommend in strong terms, the in
struments of Dr. Chasv to the confideare of
the profession, as the bes known means/of me
chanical retention in hen la, and as furnishing the
highest chances of radical ure.”
The following is from t e Southern Medical and
Southern Journal, published in cur own city.
“ All must admit of tln| radical cure of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusties are decidedly the best
yet invented to effect the c I'ject.”
Persons from a distance jan have the instruments
applied, upon application If the office, and all ne
cessary information given to enable them to adjus

RHEUMATISM.
CIO HEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.—
J Dr. M. B. Cohen, proprietor of the universally
celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla
raatory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and
| Swellings in the Joints, kc., known as Cohen’s
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
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
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
scription. It will be proper that all persons using
he Liniment, see that it is accompanied with the
signa'urc 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
“Infs llible Rheumatic Mixtures,” all of which be
ing a compound of ignorant quacks, are ca'culated,
more or less, to injure the system rather than re
move any complaint. In proof of the estimation
in v. hich the Embrocation is held by respectable
men in tlie medical profession, as well as by the
thousands of persons who have been elfectua ly
cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined
lette s from a few who are well and popularly
known to the entire society in New York, and
whose opinions and professional judgments are
i universally esteemed.

PERHAPS there is nothing more calculated to
discu>t the public eye thanlh* 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. This state
i of the public mind would seem to forbid any person
of delicate mind trom sending forth any new dis
coveries in medicine, to the trial of ths> public.
Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from
making known real discoveries, which we are con
fident will benefit our fellow men. Tins latter
* consideration has prompted the author of these bit
: ters to make them known. He knows they are high
ly efficacious, for he himself, ids wife, and many
r friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was
himselt a confirmed dyspeptic, so much, that even
his recollection was pone. Hy using these hitters
he has been restored to health. 31 n . Cosby was
troubled for many years, but was restored to health
by the use ot these bitters. This has been the case
with many of his fri« nds. 31 r. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addresses those who know
r him. He has been for many years a resident of
s Augusta, at w hich place he can at any lime b*
consulted about ihe bitters. They are good in all
cases ofdiseases of the digestive organs, the symp
toms of which are indigestion, pain or oppression
in the stomach from food, lossot appetite, flatulen
cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the
; side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
k ness, disturbed sieep, «sec The composition is en

many celebrated medicines had failed. In support
of which he refers tht-mto Freeman W. Lacy, she

ANTI-BALSAMJC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
fB MIIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
1 long known, and used with such unparralleled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeais, ap
-1 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 obtiins 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
-1 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
1 incredible extent the children of this warlike prince,
not only by actual sale of the article itself to iu
-1 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
l position until he sleeps with his fathers,” although
1 free to use it in their respective tribes, which
1 places it in the hands of every Indian who rely
1 w'ith, 1 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
31. 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
whicli is consumed in preparing the article for im
mediate use.

years to the euro and removal of the cr uses of N ER
VOUS A3D SICK HEAD aCIIE, has thesa’is
faction to make known, ihai he has a remedy which
by removing the causes cures effectually and perma
nently this distressing complaint. There are many
families w ho have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as
sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring*-
under distress which tnoy might not only alleviate,
but actually eradicated by the us-' if 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 llie taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation ihat Dr. Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a mattsrofmucb astonishment.
That so rn ich suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or
cure,is truly a subject of much regret but Dr.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been t
invented as will comince the most credulous. The
-rinciples on w hich it acts are simple and plain. Itis
j ana milled fact that this complaint, whether called
i Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach —those who think they have
: the Nervous Headache may rest assured that ihis
! organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that sys
tem has become vitiated or debihraied, ih.oitgh the
stomach, anti that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of the natural and :
healthy functions ol the system. This object, Dr.
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to ailatn.
The truth of this position cannot be controverted,
and the sooner sufferers with the headache become
I convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
|in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his
• professional reputation on this fact. The remedy
i may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
j the United States.

Dear Sir—3ly daughter,a girl of fourteen, was -
l sadly afflicted witn tliecorap aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, indepe; dent of
every other evil, that she would be bald in conse

Reverend 3Jr. Perrin, 1 applied your oint merit to the j

now entirely recovered from the disease, and is
gelling her hail as fast as can be expected. The
cure was effected in lather le&s than two months;
during which time I us. d fiv dollars worth of oint

has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering

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 elfects of your pit'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 are the benefits we havereceiv
ed from them in general, that I would rather pur
chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house
without them. I will not enumerate tire alllictions
I 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
| pie purifier of the system, and therefore equally
| the enemy of every disease. I will mention one
j case. 1 have a sister who had been for a long pe-
I riod severely afflicted with dropsy in the chest and
was brought by it to the very verge of the gra\ e.
j 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
i ered her immediate death as inevitable. By good
j fortune, however, as she was in this situation, ex
| pect ng every day to be her last, your pilk were
I introduced into my family, and so speedy and pal
! puble were tlreir effects that three doses visibly re-
I 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
1 suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to
; miraculous; and yet I could mention many more
j of an equally despera-te nature, in which your pills
I were equally successful in rescuing the patients
! from the jaws of death. Need 1 add that the popu
j 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 1 may mention, however, that notwithstanding
its general use, I never heard in individual complain
of its effects. My residence is 12 miles from Bal
eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen
timents of regard, your ob’t servant.
A. G. BANKS.
Tu Dr. Peters, —Sir—For upwards of fifteen
months, 1 have been ciueily afflicted with Fever \
and Ague; and during the time could find nothing—
though I had applied to every thing that gave me i
any thing like permanent relief. At length, how
ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
; of our best physicians, and 1 am most grateful and
happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used
two boxes wlien I found that they had restored me j
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 3'ou to publish this
j certificate, as lam anxious to add m3' public testi
mony to the almost miraculous virtues of 3'our un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,

his son laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cynanche Tracnealis (Croup) and apparently be

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.

subscriber has the pleasure oi announcm.
j to ihe citizens of the U. States, that he fte
purchased, for a very large sum and from tne j ri
venter, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of Paris \
recipe ar d right for making this astonishing me( jJ
cine. Until the appearance of the “ Lucina Cor
dial,’’ (about three years since,) it was thought Hiai
the complaints,which it speedily overcomes,i V p rfl
beyond the reach of human remedy as forupvv ar( j.
of a thousand ytars. they had hafffpd the wi ß{ j (Jm
and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in
all parts ot the world. This Cordial, however to
I lie great advantage of the human race,soon proved
itseTl to be the desideratum so long sought for; and
accordingly, notwithstanding fl e brief peri dos i s
existence, it has required a celebrity so great, that
it is eagerly inquired for throughout die civilized
globe. Dr Magnin soon finding that the demand
was so vast ns o renders supply impossible, dis.
posed of die recipe and right of sale, under oblig a .
lions «>fsecrecy, l**r England, tlie United Siaieg
and othei countries, only preserving France and
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber p, )g .
sessed himself of the invaluable set ret; end now
hastens togtveifie inhabit ants of his line of agency
the benefits of his speculation.
“le Cordial l>e Lucine,” or, in English, “ffle
F.ucica Cordial,” isa general invigorator of the
human frame! In all liie various cases of languor,
lassitude, nd 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 But the peculiar virtue on which its
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainly with
which it restores the virile powers when they have
be»n destroved by disease, time, recklessness,or any
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those functions.
Jn common with the generality of really’ good
medicines, this t ordtal contains nothing of a mer
curial or deleterious nature, among i lie many ingre
dients which compose it; but is, at the same time,
so simple, yd so efficacious, that while it can reno
vate the pros.rateii 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 :fie benefits which would be
sore to result from it, vvecannotenler into an analy
.-k of l his ine limable Cordial here, or publish many
of thedocimienls which have been received, as
vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num
bers of despairing individuals. But tuis 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 of
the procreant functions,in either sex; and therefore,
that these evils are the effects of artificial cause*,
and may be speedily subdued *nd removed by the
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also tn induhiiable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus,obstructed,diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation; also, for the incon
tinence ot Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
of It is likewise an invaluable ami unrivalled
medicine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of theskin,
and ini lie dropsical affections of the aged.

From the eminent l>r. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837,
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend —I am inos
gratified at i tie unprecedented popularity ol your
| “Luc.’na Cordial,” and am able io bear testimony to
' its surprising virtue, i had a patient recently,
1 M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had lor
1 several years abandoned iniusell in the vortex ot
j dissipation ;• and was only reclaimed from it al £
j length bj' the utter prostration of all his virileener*
g es. lie was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity
I ot debility* and tastelessness, lor, if an occasional
i flash of excitement warmed his system, the rcac-
I lion was almost immediate, and the resuit perleaf
i prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrums
j in such cases ; bur, as 1 had anticipated, without
i success; ami when 1 saw the “Lucina Cordial
j advertised, I must confess that even the groat weight
of your name did not give me much hope in it, at
least so far us regarded the case in hand. 1 kit
bound to try it,however,and was soon satisfied ol
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, mV
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ot
his system ; and he is now, having used four bottles,
as we Jits ever. *
The number of documents, such as the above
