Radical Core of Hernia or Rupture, by Dr*
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
THE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
store of Messrs. 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,
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 ol the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia.
“ The instruments of Dr. Chase have effected
the permanent and accurate retention of the in
testines in every ease of Hernia observed by the
committee, without material inconvenience to the
patient, and often under trials more severe than
are usually ventured upon by those who wear other
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 terns, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the conffdnpe 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 arc 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 adjus
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate,from some
ble person, of their pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture,

DR. MILES’ 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 fer, seme one in almost the extreme
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to
be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosuiu
than for one to offer meal from the com stalk, to
•ay nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Mites, es Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the
the 6 reat benefits of
which, he holds himsVlf bound, and in honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they are all that they
profess to be, and will do for others what they
have done for such as mav have used them • as
this is a vegetable of g eat use, and value, it will
doubtless be valuable information to families to
know that the Yellow are just doubly as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much
of the bapatine,er active principle, and when used
as a daily vegetable will be found to keen the
system in much better condition than the other
kind ; many will recollect with what trembling I
anxiety calomel has been given to children and
how they then wished for a substitute. It’ has
long been known that the Tomato contained ca
thartic principles, but .iot until of late was it
ascertained that they 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

RHEUMATISM.
COHEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.—
Dr. M. B. Cohen, proprietor of the universally
celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla
matorv Rheumatism, Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and
Swellings in the Joints, See., known as Cohen’s
Rheumatic Embrocation, begs respectfully to refei
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 tc
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.

Dear Sir—Haring frequently witnessed the ap

it as an invaluable remedy, and the best known for
the cure of that painful and distressing complaiat,
either in its acute or chronic form.

Dr. M. B. Cohen—ln reply to your request as to

New York, April 20, 1839.
I certify that I have used Dr. M. B. Cohen’s

I ot the public mind would seem to forbid any person
i of delicate mind Irora sending forth any new dis
coveries in medicine, to the trial of the public.—
Still, motives ol delicacy should not prevent us from
making known real discoveries, which we are con
fident will benefit our tellow men. This latter
' consideration has prompted she author of these hit
r ten to make them known. He knows they are high
ly efficacious, for he himself, his wife, and many
t 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. Mrj. Cosby was
troubled for many yean, but was restored to health
by the use ol these bitten. Thts has been the case
with many of his ftrunds. Mr. Coshy in sending
forth this advert isement, addresses those who know
r him. Ho has been for many yean a resident of
g Augusta at which place he can at any time b«
consulted about the bitten. 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, lussot appetite, flatulen
’ cv, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the
5 side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
ly ness, distuibed sleep, &c The composi ion is en
tirely Botanical, and has proved efficacious when
many celebrated medicines had failed. In support
of which he refers them to Freeman W. Lacy, she

t Warranted to cure in Five Days.
, r incomparable and invaluable remedy so
' JL long known, and used with such unparralleled
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
r success which has attended it through all of its
trying circumstances, namely, “five days,”—the
same success which followed it in a Northern lati
-5 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 Wabenothr, 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
8 incredible extent the children of this warlike prince,
a not only by actual sale of the article itself to in
-0 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
8 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.

faction to make known, that be has a remedy which
by removing the cause* cures effectually and perma

families who have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as
sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which tncy might not only alleviate,
but actually eradicated by the us* »f his remedy.
It is the result of scientific researchjand 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 for this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment.
That so m ich suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret hut 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 milled fact that this complaint, whether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach—those who I hink they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th» sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, th.ough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration ol 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 ihe sooner sufferers wiih the headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration of health, Dr. pledges his
prefessionai reputation on this fact. Tne remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout

fWNHE great celebrityof this unrivalled fompo
| sit ion, 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 th-» 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, 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 il w-ill 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 casesoi white swelling that can be ima
gii ed, 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 thr y 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
chaied 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.

in ray rather extensive practice lor several years, and
if y«u think it wouid be lo your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important

and apparently perpetual ulcer,in the back of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di

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

to purchase it, having tailed and gone out of busi

Sir,—l have no hesitation in stating, m reply to
your note, that your“ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal lo the majority of the ends for which vou re

t ■ vHESE Pills are no longer among those of doubt-
X fui utility. They have passed away frotn the 1
hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of 1
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 that
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 effects. The certificates
that have been presented to the propi 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 kin 1 has ever re
ceived testimonials of greater value th in are at
tached to this.
They are in general use as a family medicine
and there areAhousands of families who declare they
re never satisfied until they have a supply always
on hand.
They have no rival in curing and preventing

exceedingly mild in their operation, producing

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 piUs; 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 a*e the benefits we have receiv
j ed from them in general, that I would rather pur
, chase them at ten dollars abox than have my house
t without them. I will not enumerate ihe afflictions
. they have relieved us of; but I can assure you they
were many, and A 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
’ case. I have a sister who had been for a long pe
riod severely afflict*.*! with dropsy in the chest and
f was brought by it to the very verge of the grave.
She was attended by the most eminent physicians
l 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
' pect ng every day to be her last, your pills were
1 introduced into my family, and so speedy and pal
’ pable were their effecis 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
I miraculous; and yet I could mention many more
, of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills
f 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 Vav etteville. I am, with sen
timents of regard, your ob’t servant.
1 A. G. BANKS.
! To Dr. Peters, —Sir—For upward" 3 of fifteen
months, 1 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
i ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
, of our best physicians,and lam 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
> my family have used them with equal success—
i and consequently I feel it my duty to apprise you
i of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
i certificate, as lam 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. J.
H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia:
> Dr. J. P. Peters—My Dear Sir—On the night of
the 11th inst.,l was called in great haste to the
house of a fellow* ci.izen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found
his son laboring under a most alarming attack of
, Cynanche Tracnealis (Cronp) and apparently he-
I 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 1 administere I, with
such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes
my patient was at ease, and out of danger. This
1 case, in connection with my name is at your ser
-1 vice—and 1 have the pleasure to be able to inform

‘ favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is
not one of them who does not use it in his private

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.

I LE CORDIAL DE LUCINE.
OU L’ELIXIR UE L’aMOUK.
THE subscriber has the p’easureut annonncini
to the cilisensof the U. States, thet he hs
purchased, for a very large sum and from the in
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, ol Paris
recipe ard ri«hr for making this astonishing med*
cine. Until the appearance of the - Lucina Cor
dial,'’ (aboutthree years since,) it was)hough) that
the complaints, which it speedily overcomes, were
beyond lhe reach ol human remedy as for upward*
of a thousand ytars. they had baffled the wisdom
and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in
all pans ol the world. This Cordial, howc ver, to
ihe great advantage of the human race,soon proved
itserf to be the desideratum so long sought (or; and
accordingly, notwithstanding tl e brief peri d of its
exislence, it has required a celebrity so great, that
it is eagerly inquired for throughout the civilized
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the <lemand
was so vast as to render a supply impossib’e, di*.
posed of the recipe and right ol sale. nnderoblig a ,
lions of secrecy, for England, the United States
and olhei countries,only preserving France one
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber po S .
.sessed himself of lhe invaluable secrei; end ho W
hastens to give the inhabitants of his line cf agency
the benefits of his speculation.
“le Cordial l)e Lucine,” or, in English, “the
Lucina Cordial,” is a general invigorator of the
human frame ! In all lhe various cases of languor,
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing reme
dy ; as it i* equally its province to impart cheerful,
ness and decision to the mind, ns health and vigor
to the body But the peculiar virtue on w hich iu
celebrity is based, is the facility and eertainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they hav*
be»n destroved by disease,time.iecklessness.orany
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this 1 ordial contains nothing of a mer
curia] or deleterious nature, among the many ingre
dients which compose it; but is, at the same time,
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, notwithstanding the ben« fits which would be
sure to result from it, we cannot enter into an analy*
sisol thisine tiraable Cordial here, or publish many
of the documents which have been received, as
vouchers ol the blessings it has conferred on num
bers of despairing individuals. But t .is 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 procreantlunct ions, 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 cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albns,obstructed, diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation; also, for the incon
tinence ot Urine,or the involuntary discharge thers
oi It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of theskin,
and in the dropsical affections oi the aged.
Most imp -riant 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
recipe for inskmg the “ Luc na Cordial,” or
“ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it
throughout the t mted Staus of North America,
to John Winters Holderw ell, M. D. My reasons
for so doing is, that the demands to me for the above
Cordial, ol which lam the inventor, are so nume
rous, that I am unable to supply all the orders from
France and lial> alone; and have therefore dispo
sed of the privileges vouchsafed in this, and other

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am raoi
gratified at the unprecedented popularity ol your
“Luc na Cordial,” and am able to near testimony to
its surprising virtue, i had a patient recently,
I M , a gentleman ot 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 vtr.Jeener
gies. He was,indeed, reduced to the last extremity
ol debility and t tstelessness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the resuit pertect
prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrums
insuchca>es; but, as 1 had anticipated, without
success; and when 1 saw the “ Lucuia Coidial”
advertised, i must confess that even the great weight
of your name did not give me much hojie in it, at
least so far as regarded the cese in band. 1 felt
bound lo try it, howev-.r, and was soon satisfied of
its efficacy ; for before a bottle was expended, nay
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ot
his system ; and he is now, having used four bottle*,
as well as ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the
first appearance of “ Lo Cordial de Lucine,” would
