Radical Cure oFliernmorßus|lme, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons* Trusses.
fITHE subscriber has opened an of: jc, at the Drug
I store of Messrs. J. J. Robertscn & Co., forths
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means of these
ustly celebrated instruments. He has now used
them for nearly a year, and, did not mlicacy forbid,
he could name several persons who hjive been radi
cally cured, of this truly distressing land dangerous
affection, by the use of those Trusses, besides many
others who are in a fairway of being entirely re
lieved. The following is the language of the com
mittee ot the Philadelphia Medical xociety on the
Radical Cure of Hernia.
“ The instruments of Dr. Chase have ellected
the permanent and accurate retention of the in
testines in every case of Hernia ob cived by the
committee, without material inconvenience to the
patient, and often under trials mor? severe than
are usually ventured upon by those vtho wear other
trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any
other apparatus known to the commitec.”
“ The committee are induced by 'the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in strong*terms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the 4cmide}ioe 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 Rwn city.
“ All must admit of the radical ( Are of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are dec| ledly the best
yet invented to elfect the object.” *
Persons from a distance can have the instruments
applied, upon application at the office, and all ne
cessary information given to enable ihem to adjus
it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under
this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate,from someresponsi*
ble person, of their pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all sizes, aiid applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture.fi

DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and !
docs not belong lo 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 Img and anx
iously looked for, some one in almost :he extre
Noith has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting tc
be made from the stalk, a thing not| lore aosuiu
than for one to offer meal from the c*m stalk, to
say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the
Tomato Pills (proper) for the great; benefits of
which, he holds himself bound, and in honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they are 111 ' thac they
profess to be. and will do for othciij what they I
have done for such as mav have used them; a*s i
this is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will
doubtless be valuable information to families to
know that the Yellow are just doublyfa .aluable
as the Red Tomato, ami produces twice as much
of the hapatine, or active principle, anp when used
asadaiU vegetable will be found keep the

how they then wished for a substitute. It lias

the preparation most cheerfully, for th ‘ reason that

they would be bound to reject the medium a, as they
justly do the one thousand and one cur ’--alls of the

RHEUMATISM.
Cl OMEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.—
J Dr. M. B. Cohen, proprietor of the universally
| celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla
i matory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and
1 Swellings in the Joints, &c., known as Cohen’s
! Rheumatic Embrocation, bogs respectfully to refer
all persons suffering from these disea-es to the
i 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
j 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 RReurnatic 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 societj' in New York, and
I whose opinions and professional judgments are
universally esteemed.

1 a charm, for the relief and radical cure of a certain
common and disagreeable ‘Tils the flesh is heir to.”
' This prize obtains its own name from the certain
success which has attended it through al! of its
trying circumstances, namely, “live 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
1 and hazard by M. Chcveves, 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
i 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.

fin HE great celebrity of .his unrivalled Compo
j sit ion,especially in the Northern States, leaves
the proprietor hut little net<l to say any thing 111 its
favor: for it has been generally conceded to it, that
ii is beyond all comparison tha best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed thespeed and certainly of ns operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, while swellings, bites,
piles, spider and snake bites, &c. &c., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, if prop
erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or
break and heal a bite in five days, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the must
i desperate case of white swelling that can be ima
git ed, have been destroyed hy it in less than two
months. Jnthe bites of poisonous reptiles its effi
cacy is truly surprising, and if applied in lime, its
powers of attraction are so wonderful that they will
at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from
perva :mg the system. It is likewise greatly supe
rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the
chafed back and limbs of horses —for letters, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter
nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or

Dear Sir—My daughter, a girl of fourteen, was
1 sadly afflicted witn thecomp aint that physicians
termed a scald head; and 1 feared, independent of
every other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, I applied your ointment tothe
afflicted part; and 1 thank (God that ray child is
now- entirely recovered from the disease, and is
, getting her hair as fast as can he expected The
| cure was effected in rather less than two months;
during which time 1 used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; I had spent upwards oi a hundred dollars
doling the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is niffy 1
equal to the majority ol the ends for which you re- !
commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by thn word
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters where I have hud no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, w bil

f « iHESE Pills are no longer among' those of doubt

hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of
experiment, and now stand before the public as
high in reputation, and as extensively employed in
aH 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 theirgood effects. The certificates
that have been presented to the propiietor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of live hundred ot
which are from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this mcdicia
I 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 rc

The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No
i Ca.,March 3d, 183 S:
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, —By request of your agent,
| Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the
j almost miraculous effects of your pißs; andl 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?o 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 them. 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
has fully proved to me that your medicine is a sim
ple purifier of ihe 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 se* erply afflicted with dropsy in the chest and
was broughtby 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
pect ng 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 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 tiling to
miraculous ; and yet 1 could mention many more
of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills
were equaily successful in rescuing the patients
from the jaws of death. Need I add that the popu- j
larity of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in
this section of the country ? But this 1 presume
you know from the immense quantity you dispose
of, I may mention,however,thatnotwithstanding
its general use, I never heard an individual complain
of its effects. My residence is 12 miles from i • ai
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 1 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 consequently" 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 ci.izen, (Mr. Lee,) where 1 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, 1 had in my pocket a broken box of
y r our pills —four of which 1 administere 1, 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
vice—and 1 have the pleasure to be able to inform
that your inestimable medicine is in such srreat
favor with the faculty here, that 1 believe there is
not one of them who does not use it in his private
practice. Yours most resp’y.

may use it,notonly with impunity, bn: with ad

1° Or. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am inns
gratified at the unprecedented popularity ot your
Luc. na Cordial, and am able lo Isear testimony to
its surprising virtue, i had a patient recently,
1 M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had lot
several years abandoned hiniselt in the vortex oi
dissipation; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by tne utter prostration of all his virileener
'vaa;iDdeed,reduced to the last extremity
ol debility and taste.essness. lor, if an occasional
flash oi excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate,and the result perleci |
prostration. 1 hail apple d all the usual nostrum"
' to such cases ; but, as I had anticipated, without
1 success ; and when 1 saw ihe “ Lucina Cordial’
acivertised, 1 nuisi confess that even the great v\eigiE
of your name did not give me much hope in it, at
least so far as regarded the case in hand, i felt
bound lo try it.howev r.and was soon satisfied ol
us efficacy; for before a boitJe was expended, my
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of
his system , and he is now, having used four bottles, j
as wefia.s ever.
