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.

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. M. B. COHEN, No. 275 j Hudson street, N. Y. New York, Aug. 3, 1838. Dear Sir —Having frequently witnessed the ap plication of voui Rheumatic Embrocation,and tie beneficial effects arising therefrom, it affbrds me pleasure to state that I most cheerfully recommend it as an invaluable remedy, and the best known for I the cure of that painful and distressing complaiut, ! either in its acute or chronic form.

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.

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.” Signed WABINOSHE,his X mark.

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. It is i he result of scientific research,and isenlircly 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 may be had of apothecaries generally throughout the United States. For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 Broad-street, Augusta. mar 26 great celebrityof this unrivalled Compc- I sition,especially in the Northern States, leaves | the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its j favor: for it has been generally conceded to it, that ; it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for rx | ternal complaints that has ever been discovered. 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 erly' applied it will 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 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 ! worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every extei | nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or beast.

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 alf parts of the United States, the Canadas, Texas Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine that lias 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 remaikat-lc evidences of their goad effects, The certificates that have been presented to the propiietor exceed twenty thousand! upwards of live bundled of . which are from regular practising physicians, w he are the most competent judges of their merits. Often have the cures performed by this medicm been the subject of editorial comment, in variou newspapers and journals ; and it may with truth be asserted,that no medicine ol the kin] has evci ie ceived testimonials of greater value tain are at tached to this. . .

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. Augusta, Ga., Feb 10, 1539. 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.

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 the benefiis ol ray discovery throughout the world.

From an immense number of testimonials from the regular faculty, touching the virtues of the Cordial, 1 have in particular selected the following, which may be of use to you. YMu will also find a number of others of less importance inclosed. This immediate cert ficate is from a body of eight of the ablest medical practitioners in France. To Dr. Magnin, inventor of i he Lucina Cordial, or Elixir of Love Respected and Honored Sir :—\V e have all in a variety of cases, tested ihe remarkable effects ot your great discovery, and have assembled lor the purpose of bearing evidence to the tacts, and tend ering you lira honor which is your due The Lucina Cordial is in our opinion, an infallible remedy for the prostration of the Procreant . urn; Mons, and Artificial Barrenness : and therefoi must prove a blessing to the human race. We ca also bear evidence that, there is nothing in it of a mer curial or deleterious nature; ami m short tl - it is one of the noblest medicinal discoveries of any age.

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 fill a volume as largo as the Bible.
