Radical Cure of Hernia or Kui'ture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons; Trusses.
FIIHE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
■ store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson &Co., forthe
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 hqre been radi
cally cured , of this truly distressing ;>nd dangerous
affection, by the use of these Trusses.besides many
others who are in a fairway of bein£ entirely re
lieved. The following is the language of the com
mittee ot 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 case 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 terms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the confidence of
the profession, as the best known mpans'of me
chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the
highest chances of radical cure.” i
The following is from the Souther . Medical and
Southern Journal, published in our own city.
“ All must admit of the radical cure of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are deciiudly 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 t icm to adjus
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be treate d gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certiticate,from some response
ble person,of their pecuniary disability. ' "
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture.

RHEUMATISM.
CIOHEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.—
J 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 disea'es to the j
thousands of cures that his preparation has accom- I
plished, and to the numerous strange and highly
respectable testimonials which have, from time to
time, been published to that effect in New York
I and other places. So certain and searching is this
I Liniment in its operations, even in cases of long
) standing, and of an obstinate nature, that it has
i never been known to fail. The following letters
I are selected from hundreds of others of a like de-
I scription. It will be proper that all persons using
I 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
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 effectua ly
cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined
i letters from a few who are well and popularly
j known to the entire society in New York, and
whose opinions and professional judgments are
universally esteemed.

•OsERHAFS there is nothing more calculated to
a disgust the public eye than the innumerable
advertisements oi 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 ol ills and specifics. This state
ol 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 tha public. —
Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us Irom
making known real discoveries, which we are con
fident will benefit our fellow men. Tins latter
consideration has prompted the authorof these hit
lers to make them know n. He knows they are high
ly efficacious, for he himself, his wite, and many
friends, have given them a thorough trial, lie was
hirasell a confirmed dyspeptic,so much, that even
his recollection was gone. By using these hitters
he has been restored to health. Mrt. ( imhy was j
troubled tor many years, hut was restored to health
by ihe use ol these bitters. This has been the case
with many of his friends. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addresses those who know
him. He has been for many years- a resident of
Augusta at which place he can at any lime b»
consulted aboui Ihe bitters. They are good in all I
eases ofdiseases of the digestive organs,the symp
toms of w hich are indigestion, pain or oppression
in the stomach from food, lossoi appetite, fiatulen

side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak
ness, disturbed sleep, &c The composition is en

many celebrated medicines had failed. In support
of w hich he refers Freeman W. l acy, she
riff ol Richmond count , and William T. Thomp
son, editor of the Augusta Mirror, and he might re
fer yon to many others, but deems it unnecessary,
as he is willing to place it on its own merits. All

ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
rtnHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy'so
.a 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
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 was obtained at great expense, intrigue
and hazard by M. Cheveves, from the celebrated
Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst
he, with others w T as pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
siness in the North-west with the Indians. —
Wabenoshe prized highly and use it w ith 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 w ith 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 “ait of its com
position until he sleeps with his fathers,” although
free to use it in their respective tribes, which
places it m the hands of every Indian w T ho 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.
“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
! w'hich my r 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.”

is to subdue every vestige of inflamation, and then
acts mildly and copiously as a diuretic ; thereby
holding within itself, every requisite virtue, for
the subduetdon of this loathsome malady—and ev
ery regular graduate in medicine, will sustain the
assertion, that copious diuresis and reduction of in
flation, are the only' two things necessary to eliect
ajsound and radical cure
The most peculiar virtue of the “Cinq Jours,”
is in this, that wherever it alone has been used to
affect a cure, none of those tenacious and disagree -
able consequences which almost invariably results
from the sudden cure of Gonorrhoea, have been
known to obtain such as stricture, hernia, humor
alis, incontinence, and a swarm of other of the
most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis
eases, consequent upon erroneous diagnosis and
treatment of Gonorrhoea.
Those affected are requested to call and try for
themselves. If the prescriptions are w r e!l follow

years to the cure and removal ofthe causes of N FII
- AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis
faction to make know n, tha-he has a remedy which
by removing the causes cures effectually and perma
nently this distressing complaint. There are many
families who have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. y. as
sures them that they are mistaken, ai d labouring
under distress which they might not only alleviate,
but act uajly eradicated by the use if his remedy.

of a different chaiacterfrom advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
| remedy lor this distressing compainl is every day
| gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
| That so m ich suffering should have existed lor ages
J without any discovery of an effectual prevent iv ?, or
I cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. 3.
j now assures the public that such a remedy has been
i invented as will convince the most credulous. Tlic
I .rincitdes on which it acts are simple and plain. It is
; an a milled fact that this complain!, whether called
I Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
: an ly from the stomach—those who think they have
: the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
I organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th-sys-
I tern has become vitiated or debiluaied, thiough ihe
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expect s restoration ot ihe naiural and
healthy functions ol the system, i his object, Dr.
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to aitain.
The truth of this position cannot be controverted,
and the sooner sufferers uiih the headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration of health, Dr. pledges his
professional reputation on this fact. iue remedy

j favor: for it has been generally conceded to it, that
; it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for rx

Indeed 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

| perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
I desperate cases ot white swelling that can be ima
i gir 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 they w ill
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
i chafed back and limbs of horses —for tetters, ring

Dear Sir—.My daughter,a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted w ita the comp flint that physicians
termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, independent of
ever\ other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By ihe recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, I applied your ointment to 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 he expected. The
cure was effected in lather less than two months ;
during which time I used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; I had spent upwards ol a hundred dollars
during the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

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 I lie
expense of carriage, as lam quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore 1 shall only add,

been long known lo me,as 1 have used none other
in ray rather extensive practice lorseveral years, and
il you think it would be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with I vventy certificates of important
cures which it has effected under ray 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 writing to
you, is to learn who is your authorised agent infills
city, for, being in want of a supply of your oint
ment, and the person Mr. Boyle,from whom 1 used
to purchase it, having tailed and gone out of busi

may be imposed on by a counterfeit

3ir, 1 have no hesitation m stating, in reply to
your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority ol the ends for which you re
commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by the word
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters where I have had no experience
in sprains, houses, inflammations, eruptions, whit
lows, piles, &c., it is mv universal recipe. I have
al-o used it on the leg of a boy which had been
h; lien 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

The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No
Ca .March 3d, IS3S:
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, —By request of your agent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of your pil'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 aw; the benefits we have receiv
ed from them in general, that I would rather pur
chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house
without thorn. I will not enumerate the afflictions
they have relieved us of; but 1 can assure you they
were many, and of very opposite natures, which
i 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. 1 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 phj-sicians
that money could procure; but all their efforts to
restore her to health, or even to mitigate hersuffer
iugs were fruitless ; and accordingly,we all consid
ered her immediate death as inevitable. By good
fortune, however, as she was in this situation, cx
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
ot I may mention, however, that notwithstanding
its general use, I never heard an individual complain
of its effects. My residence is j2mi!es 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 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
ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
of our best phi sicians, and I am most grateful and
happy in being able to add, that I had scarcely used
two boxes when 1 found that they had restored me
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 you to publish this
certificate, as I am 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 citizen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found
his son laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cynanche Tracnealis (Cronp) and apparently be
yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
tune, however, 1 had in my pocket a broken box of
your pills—four of which f administered, with
such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes
rny patient was at ease, and out of danger. This
case, in connection with my name is at your ser
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. Yours most resp’y.

JjE CORDIAL. DE IjUCINE.
OU L’ELIXIR DE L’AMOUR.
rSNITE subscriber has the treasure oi announcim
J|_ to ihe citizens of thef States, iflui i lc (
purchased, for a very large sura and from tne m
ventor, ihe celebrated Dr. Magnin, of Paris ! fi
recipe ardrisht for making llu-> astonishing rnedn
cine. Until ihe appearance of the ‘ Lucina Cor
dial,'’ (about, three years since,) it was thought t} m t
the complaints,which it speedily ovi rcornes, were
beyond i he reach of human remedy, as for upwards
of a thousand ytars. they had baffled the wisdom
and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in
all pans ot the world. Tins Cordial, hovvt ver, to
the gnat advantage of the human race, soon proved
itse.i to be the desideratum so long sought for; an j
acconhngly v notwithstanding tl e brief perLdoffla
existence, it has required a celebrity so great, t tj at
it is eagerly inquired for throughout the civilized
globe. Dr Magnin soon finding that the demand
was so vast as o render a supply impossible, dis.
posed of the recipe and right of sale, underob]Q a . |
lions of secrecy, for England, the United Slates
and olhei countries,only preserving f ranco and
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber po s .
sessed himself of the invaluable secret; end now
hastens logivelhe inhabitants of his line of agency
the benefits of his speculation.
“Le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “the
Lucira Cordial,” isa general invigorator of th e
human frame ! In all i lie 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 v;?or
to the body But the peculiar virtue on which its
celebrity' is base d, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they have
been destroy ed by disease, time, recklessness,orany
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, i his C oidial contains nothing of a n;er
curial or deleterious nature, among ihe many ingre
dients which compose it; bulls, at the same tune,
so simple, yet so (flicacious, that while it can reno
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an infant
may use it,not only with impunity, but with ud
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such,
that, notwithstanding the benefits which would be
sure to result from it , we cannot enter into an analy
sis ol this ine tunable Cordial here,or publish many
of the documents which have been received, as
vouchers of the blessings u has conferred on num
bers of despairing individuals. But this vve cannot
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, it any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as naiural irabecilitv of
the procreant functions, in either sex ; and therefore,
that tlu seevils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued <md removed by the
use ot “ 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 ll is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medic ine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of theskin,
and in ihe dropsical affections of the aged.
Most imp rtuut to the American Public.
The United States propr; Mr of the celebrated
“ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixi- of Love,” begs to lay
before ihe community, the following certificate,
which he has received from the inventor, the illus
trious Ur. Magnin. of Paris •
“Tbit is to certify, that I have disposed of the
feeipe for racking the “ Luc na Cordial,” or
“ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it
throughout the f niied Sians of North America
to John Winters Holderwell, M. I). My reasons'
for so doing is, that the demands to me for the above
Cordial, ot w Inch I am the inventor, are so nume
rous, that I am unable to supply all the orders from
France and bah alone; and have therefore dispo
sed of the privileges vouchsalen in this, and oilier
certificates of a like nature in order to generalise

From the eminent Ur. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin;—My dear friend—l am mos
l gratified at Ibe unprecedented popularity of your
| “Lucina Cordial,” and am able io bear testimony to
! its surprising virtue, i had a patient recently,
1 M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had mr
several years abandoned himself in the vortex ot
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at I
length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener
gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity
of debility and tastelessness, for, if an occasional
llash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate,and the result perte'*
Prostration. I had applied all the usual nostru./ /■
iu such cases; but, as I had anticipated, without
success; and when 1 saw the “Lucina Coidial”
advertised, I must confess that even tlie great weight
of your name did not give me much hope in it, at
least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1 foil
bound to try it,howev-.r,and was soon satisfied ol
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my |
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of
his system ; and lie is now, having used four bottles,
as well is ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin since the
first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine ” would
