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 feb 20 F. M. ROBERT -ON, M. D. TO THE FACULTY AND Hi EADS OF FAMILIES. DR.

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. M. B. COHEN, No. Hudson street, N. Y r . New York, Aug. 3, 1838.

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.

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.

They have passed away from the 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.

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. 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., 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.
