Radical Cure otplenuaor Rupture, by Dr*
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
TINHE subsetiberihas opened an office, at the Drug
1 store of Mess’s. J. J. Robertson & Co., for the
treatment of or Rupture, by means of these
ustly celebrated iri/truments. He has now used
them for nearly a y* ar, and, did not delicacy forbid,
he could na*>e several persons who have been radi
cally cured, of this distressing and dangerous
affection, by the usijraf these Trusses, besides many
others who are in a gi'air way of being entirely re
lieved. The following is the language of the com
mittee ot the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hdmia.
“ The instrument j of Dr. Chase have effected
the permanent and iaccurate retention of the in
testines in every case of Hernia observed by the
committee, withoutmaterial inconvenience to the
patient, and often ; nder trials more severe than
are usually venture?' upon by those who wear other
trusses; trials that; would be imprudent with any
other apparatus kmiwn to the committee.”
“ The committee are induced by the foregoing
conclusions to reco nmend, 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, jiiiblished 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 else? i the object.”
Persons from a di-jjance can have the instruments
applied, upon application at the office, and all ne
cessary information >iven to enable them to adjus
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting comp!. ant, will be treated gratuitous
ly upon presenting a.certificate,from someresponsi*

TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF
FAMILIES.
DR. MILES' COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO —s’ 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 facility, 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 advertise 1 a Tomato Pill, purporting in
be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosuiu
than for one to offer meal from the com stalk, to
say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the
fomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of
which, he holds himself bound, and in honor pledg
ed to prove by theiu ise, that they are all that they
proless to be, and -rill do for otheis what they
have done for such as mav have used them ; as
‘■his is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will
doubtless be valuable information to families to
know that the Yeilnw are just doubly as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much
of the hapatine, 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 tjfat the Tomato contained ca
thartic princ : ples, kul not until of late was it
ascertained that thei’ 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 be bound to reject the medicine, as they
justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of the
day. If you wish to cleanse the system with a
mild, saie anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato
Ihll, of w'hich a supply, we learn, will soon be in
this city. We all know something about this.

RHEUMATISM.
COHEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.—
Dr. M. B. Cohen, proprietor of the universally
| celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla
matory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and
Swellings in the Joints, &c., 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
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 profession, 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 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 your Rheumatic Embrocation,and tie
beneficial effects arising therefrom, it affords me
pleasure to 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.

Dr. M. B. Cohen—ln reply to your request as to
my opinion of your Rheumatic Embrocation, I
most willingly acknowledge that I have used it in
my practice, and found it an invaluable remedy as
a palliative Liniment in cases of Rheumatism.
CHAS. A. VAN ZANDT, M. D.
New York, April 20, 1839.
I certify that I have used Dr. M. B. Cohen’s
Rheumatic Embrocation, and have found it a most

disease, and therefore hesitate not to recommend it
in all cases of Rheumatism.

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. All are ready to ex
claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained with
1 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 tht> public.
Suit, 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 (ut
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 hitters
he has been restored to health. Mrs. (Joshy was
troubled for many years,but was restored to health
by the use of these bitters. This has been the case
w'lth many of his friends. 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 lime be
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, 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 coraposiiion is en
tirely Boianical, ami has proved efficacious when
many celebrated medicines had failed. In support
of which he refers them to Freeman W. Lacy, she
riff of Richmond count' - , and William T. Thomp
son, editor of the Augusta Mirror, and he might re
fer you to many others, but deems it unnecessary,
as tie is willing to place it on its own merits. All
he asks is lor tnose who are afflicted with me dys
pepsia to give it a trial.

ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHCEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
fgtHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
A long known, and used with such unparraileled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 j r eais, 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 w - as 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
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 maniputatory 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.”

• T"\B. E. BPGIIN, a German physician of much
note, having devoted his attention for some
years to the cure and removal of the causes of NER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis
faction to make known, that he has a remedy which
by removing ihe causes cures effect ually and perma
nently this distressing complaint. There are many
families who have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. tv as
sures them that ihey are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which tney 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 chaiacter from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary - reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter ofniuch astonishment,
That so much suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual prevenliv ), 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 which it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a mitted 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 I his
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th a sys
tem has become vitiated or debihtaled, thiough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of the naiural and
healthv functions of the system. This object, Dr.
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain.
The truth of (his 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
professionai reputation on this fact. The remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United Stales.

fSIHE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo
-1 silion,especially in the Northern Slates, leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its
favor: for it has been generally conceded to if, that
it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed the’speed 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, it prop
erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or
break and heal a bile in five uays, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer m two weeks, and the most
desperate cases of white 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
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
chafed back and limbs of horses—lor 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 leaet a thousand
certificates, and other documents, in favor of his

which were written by respectable members of the
Medical Faculty.

Dear Sir—My daughter, a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn the comp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and I feared, independent of
every other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, I apiplied your ointment to the
afflicted part; and I thank God that my child is
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is

Dear Sir—l have to request of you to forward
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most
immediate conveyance, and without regard to the
expense of carriage, as I am quite our, and much
in want of it.—You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add,
mat 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 I have used none other
in my rather extensive practice tor several years, and I
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
one days. My present chief object in w riting 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 I purchase at random, that i
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.
Your obedient servant,

r 2 ,HESE Pills are no longer among those of doubt
-1 ful utility. They have passed away from the
hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide ot
experiment, and now stand before the public as
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 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 propiietor 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 kin 1 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 they
re never satisfied until they have a supply always
on hand.
They have no rival in curing and preventing
Billious Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma,
Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen,
Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn,
Furred Tongue, Nausea, 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 r request of your agent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of your piPs; and I would
add, that you may r make use of 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 a*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
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® 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 consequent!}' 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 ciiizen, (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 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-
I vice—and I have the pleasure to be able to inform
; you that your inestimable medicine is in such o-rcat
favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is
; not one of them who does not use it in his private
I practice. Yours most resp’y.

LE CORDIAL DE
OU L’ELIXIR DE L’AMOUr
FRNIIR subscriber has the pleasureol annou n
j lo the citizens of the U. States, thet h/? 1
purchased, for a very large sum and from [ n
venter, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of p ar j s e 111
recipe ar d rinrht for making this astonishing m ■
cine. Until the appearance of the ‘ Lucirfar I
dial,” (about three years since,) it was Ihougqt tT
the complaints,which it speedily overcomes «• 31
beyond the reach of human remedy, as
of a thousand years, they hail baffled the vv lg / Qs
and ingenuity of the most profound physician I
all parts of the world. This Cordial, hoi Vt , v J J n '
the great advantage of the human race,soon , ’ U !
itself to be the desideratum so long sought !oW)
accordingly, notwithstanding tl e brief p er j'
existence, it has required a celebrity so g rea , of 8
.t fs eagerly inquired for throughout the civipy!
globe. Dr Magnin soon finding that the ,i
was so vast as to render a supply impossible, V'
posed of the recipe and right of sale, under o'bliJ**
tions of secrecy, for England, the United Stau!
and othei countries, only preserving France ar
Italy for himself. Tims has the subscriber pj
ses&ed himself of the invaluable secret; and non
hastens to give the inhabitants of hislineofagen. v
the benefits of his speculation.
“le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, «,• f
Lucina Cordial,” is a general invigorator of
human frame! In all the various cases of ianjmj.
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing reo it
dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheeriu
ness and decision to the mind, as health and
to the body Hut the peculiar virtue on which V,
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty wii
which it restores the virile powers when ihey hau
been destroyed by disease, time, recklessness,oram
of the numerous causes which terminate in tfo ,[
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really I
medicines, this Cordial contains nothing of a m.er
curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre.
dients which compose it ; but is, at the same time I
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can ren»!
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, notwithstanding she benefits which would be
sure to result from it, we cannotenter into an analv
sis of thisine fimable Cordial here, or publish mam
of the documents which have been received, a,
vouchers of the blessings u has conferred on num
bers of despairing individuals. But this wccannui
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 of
the procreant functions, in either sex ; and therefore,
that those evils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued and removed by the
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also an indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus, obstructed, diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon
tinenct ot Urine,or the involuniary discharge then*,
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 States proprietor of the celebrated
“ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to Jay
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
recioe for making the “Lucina Cordial,” or
“ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it
throughout the f nited States of North America,
to John Winters Holderwell, M. D. My reasons <»
for so doing is, that the demands to me forthe above
Cordial, of which 1 am the inventor, are so nume
rous, that I am unable to supply all the orders from
France and ltal\ 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.

“Lucina Cordial” is in our opinion, an infallible

Extract of e letter from the elebrated Talleyrand,
to Dr. Magnin.
1 am now on the wrong side of eighty, and ye-1
could be on my honor or oath if necessary, that a
bottle or two of your Cordial of Love has made me
feel as vigorous as a boy of five and twenty. 1
think you have discoveied the “Elixir of Lite,’
which the alchy mists have been so long in quest ot;
and that (pardon my officiousness, ) you should have
named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend —I am mos
j gratified at the unprecedented popularity ol your
“Luc'na Cordial,” and am able to hear testimony to
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently,
I >1 , a gentleman ol fortune, who had for
several years abandoned himself in the vortex oi
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener
gies. He was,indeed,reduced lo the last extremity
of debility ami t istelessness, for, if an occasional
flask of excitement w anned his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the result perted
prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrums
in such cases; but, as I had anticipated, without
success; and when 1 saw the “Lucina Cordial
advertised, I must confess that even the great weigh!
of your name did not give me much hope in it,J 1
least so far as regarded the case in hand. }
bound to try it, however, and was soon satisfied oj
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, w'
patient gave evidence of the returning ul
his system ; and he is now, having used f
as well is ever.
The number of documents, such as the »b° v ’ e
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since th®
first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine." worn*
