MACON, | THOMAS STOCKS, J jan 8 trwtf 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, feb 2U F. M. ROBERTSON, M. D. TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF FAMILIES. 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 justly do the one thousand and one cure-alls of the miM . f y ° U wish t 0 clea »se the system with a Pill of wK' bUiOUS medlcine > us « the Tomato th ’cm we\n't pp,y ’ we ,earn ’ Will soon be » Tune IS 1 kDOW somc thing about this.

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. M. B. COHEN, No. 275$ Hudson street, N. Y. New Yoxx, Aug. 3,1838. Dear Sir—Haring frequently witnessed the ap plication of vour Rheumatic Embrocation, and tl e 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 complaiat, either in its acute or chronic form.

Cohen—ln reply to your request as to my opinion of your Rheu atic 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 useful aoguvant in the treatment of this painful disease, and therefore hesitate not to recommend it in all cases of Rheumatism.

Nones, Ist Lieut, of the Revenue Cutter Alert, in the service of the United States, do certify that I was for five months afflicted with the Inflamatory Rheumatism, and had every reme dy by advice of physicians, without any relief, and finally by advice of Dr. W. Rockwell, health offi cer at quarantine, I applied to Dr. M. B. Cohen, in the month of July, 183, for a bottle of his Rheu matic Embrocation, and after one week’s use of the specific, was entirely free from all pain, and was able to resume my place in the service.

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. ~ TRANSLATION. y “I, Wabenoshe, Chief of the nations Ottowa and l ~ Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which I , have for my white friend M.

There are many 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.

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. The proprietor has received ot least a thousand certificates,and other documents, in favor of his “ Specific Ointra nt,” upwards of a hundred of which were written by respectable members of the Medical Faculty.

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 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 1 and Bowels, IncipientDiarrhcea,Flatulence,Habitu i al Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or Sallow r Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, 1 where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are exceedingly mild in their operation, producing 5 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 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, i 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.,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 > you that your inestimable medicine is in such great ‘ favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is not one of them who does not use it in his private » practice.

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.

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 certificates of a like nature in order to generalise the benefits ot my discovery throughout the world.

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.
