Robertsc. & Co., for the ® treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by leans of these ustly celebrated instruments. He las now used them for nearly a year, and, did not Idicacy forbid, he could name several persons who h ive been radi cally cured, of this truly distressing Inti dangerous affection, by the use of these Trusses besides many others who are in a fairway of heir g entirely re lieved. The following is the languaj eof the com mittee of the Philadelphia Medical - iciety on the Radical Cure of Hernia. “ The instruments of Dr. Chase ave effected the permanent and accurate retenti n of the in testines in every case of Hernia obs rved by the committee, without material inconvc lienee to the patient, and often under trials mou severe than are usually ventured upon by those \*|io wearother trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any other apparatus known to the committee.” “ The committee are induced by ?he foregoing conclusions to recommend, in strong the in struments of Dr. Chase to the »fejniidejice of the profession, as the best known ri-ans'of me chanical retention in hernia, and as tarnishing the highest chances of radical cure.” | The fol owing is from the Southern Medical and Southern Journal, published in ur od n city. “ All must admit of the radical cure of hernia, and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best yet invented to effect the object.” Per?ous 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 treateji gratuitous ly upon presenting a certificate,from seineresponsi* ble person, of their pecuniary disability.

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 know’n to the faculty, or any one eke that may wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx iously looked for, some one in almost l ie extreme North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosuru than for one to offer meal from the corn stalk, to say nothing of the difficulty of raising Ihe Tomato so far North. ” I Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of which, he holds himself bound, and in hjiior pledg ed to prove by their use, that they are ail that they profess to be, and w’ill do for otheis iwhat they have done for such as mav have used* them • as this is a vegetable of great use, and va’-uc, it will doubtless be valuable information to families to know that the Yellow are just doubly & valuable as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much of the hapatine, or active principle, and when used as a daily vegetable will be found to; keep the cystem in much better condition that* the other kind; many will recollect with whai;trembling 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 not until of la£e was it ascertained that they contained alterative and diu retic properties. The Faculty embracS and use the preparation most cheerfully, for the *?ason that they know’ what it is Were it a paten* mystery, they would be bound to reject the medicine, as they justly do the one thousand and one cure-ldls of the day.

Cohen, proprietor of the universally’ celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla matory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and Swellings in the Joints, kc,, known as Cohen’s Rheumatic Embrocation, begs respectfully to refer all persons suffering from these disea es to the i thousands of cures that his preparation has accom i plished, and to the numerous strange and highly respectable testimonials which have, from time to j time, been published to that effect in New York and other places. So certain and searching is this j 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 fiom 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 signa'ure 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, I more or less, to injure the system rather than re move any complaint. In proof of the estimation I 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 Jy’ cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined letters from a few wdro are well and popularly known to the entire society in New York, and | whose opinions and professional judgments are universally esteemed.

Dear Sir —Having frequent y witnessed the ap plication of vour Rheumatic Embrocation,and ti 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 complaint, either in its acute or chronic form.

They are good in all cases of diseases of the digestive organs, the symp toms of which are indigestion, pain or oppression in the stomach from food, lossot appetite, flatulen cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak ness, distmbed sleep, <fec The eomposi ion is en tirely Botanical, an ! has proved efficacious w hen many celebrated medicines had failed.

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 31. Cheveres, 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 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 which my 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.

The extraordinary reputation that L‘r. Spohn’s remedy for this distressing corapaint is every day gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment, That so m ich suffering should have existed lor ages without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or cure,is truly a subject of much regrei but Dr. o. 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 ana milled fact that this complaint, whether called Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim anlyfrom the stomach—those who t hink they have ’ the Nervous Headache may rest assurer! that this organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that lh a sys tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expect s restoration of the natural and ! healthy functions of the system. This object, Dr. j Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain. The truth of this position cannot be controverted, and lbe sooner sufferers with the headache become convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his prefessionai reputation on this fact. Tne remedy may be had of apothecaries generally throughout the United Bta;es.

Indeed the.speed and certainty of its operations, have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wouuds, corns, fever sores,chilblains, w bite swellings, biles, piles,spider and snake bites, &c. <Vc., immediately yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, if prop erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or break and heal a bile in five (lays, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most desperate cases ot white swelling lhat can be ima gined, have been destroyed by it in less than two months. In the biles of poisonous reptiles its effi cacy is truly surprising, and if applied in time, its powers of attraction are so wonderful that they will at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from pervading the system. It is likewise greatly supe rior to any medicine heretolore discovered for the chafed back and limbs of horses—lor tellers, ring worms, chapjied lips—and in short, for every extei nal bodily evil that may fall to the Jot ol man or beast.

They have passed away from the hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of experiment, and now stand before the public as m reputation, and as extensively employed in all parts of the United States, the Canadas, Texas Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine tha* 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 their good effects. The certificates that have been presented to the propiietor exceed twenty thousand! upwards of five hundred of which are from regular practising physicians, why are the most competent judges of their merits. Often htive the cures performed by this mediciu 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 thin are at tached to this. ■ They are in general use as a family medicine and there are.thousands of families who declare they re never satisfied until they have a supply always on hand. They have no rival in curing and preventing Biliious 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 and Rowels, incipient Diarrhoea,Flatulence,Habitu al Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or Sallow Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are exceedingly mild in their operation, producing 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 —Dearfcir, —By request of your agent, Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the almost miraculous effects of your piPs; and 1 would add, that you may make use ol them, in connection with my name, in any manner you deem proper, 1 speak of their merits from experience,as 1 and my family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three year* ; and so great ave the benefits we have receiv ed from them in general, that I would rather pur chase them al ten dollars abox than have my house without them. I will not enumerate ihe afflictions they have relieved us of; but I 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 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 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 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 ngevery da}' to be her last, your pills were introduced into ray 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, 1 and all who were witness of it, (but more especially the suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to miraculous; and yet 1 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 of. I may mention, however, that notwithstanding its general use, 1 never heard an individual complain of its effects. My residence is 12 miles 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 upward- of fifteen months, I have been ciuelly 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 phj sicians, and I am most grateful and happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used two boxes when 1 found that the}' 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 }ou 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 llthinst.,l was called in great haste to the house of a fel ow ci.izen, (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 I adminlstere 1, with such immediate happy effect that in a tew minutes my patient was at ease, and out of danger. This case, in connection with my name is at your ser vice—and I have the pleasure to be able to inform you that your inestimable medicine is in sucli great favor with the faculty here, that 1 believe there is not one of them who does not use it in his private practice.

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo gart, of Providence, R. 1., Dec. 17, 183S.—Peters’ pills arc an excellent aperient and cathartic medi cine, those effects being produced by the differences of the quantity taken, and are decidedly supeiior to Lee’s, Lrandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.

Until the appearance of the - Lucina Cnr". dial, ’ (about three years since,) it was thought that the complaints, which it speedily overcomes, were beyond the reach of human remedy, ns for no ward-- of a thousand ytars. they had baffled t fi e vvisdotn and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in all parts of the world. This Cordial, h OV v ( u , r (o the great advantage of the human race, soon proved itself to be the desideratum so long sought tor; and accordingly, notw ithstandirg ti e brief peri dofV existence, it has required a celebrity so gre-u, pV t it Is eagerly inquired for throughout ifi, civilized globe. Dr Magnin soon finding that the demand was so vast as o render a supply impossible, do - posed of the recipe and right ol sale, under obliea turns of secrecy, Gr England, the I nited States H and other countries, only preserving France and Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber pcs- I sessed himself of the invaluable sec re i : end now hastens to give the inhabitants of his line of agents the benefits of his speculation. “Le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “ihe Lucira Cordial,” is a general invigorutor of the human frame! In all the various cases of languor, lassitude, and debilitation ; if is an unfailing reme dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful, ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor to the body But the peculiar virtue on which its celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with which it restores the virile powers when they have been destroyed by dis< ase.time,recklessness,orany of the numerous causes which terminate in the prostration of those functions. In common with the generality of rcaliy good medicines, thist ordial contains nothing of a met- R enrial or deleterious nature, among ihe many ingre- ■ dienls which compose it ; bul ls, at ihr same nine, I so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can reno- I vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an in far;- I may use it,not only with impunity, but with ad- I vantage. i The usages of society are unfortunately such.

J had a patient recently, J 1 M , a gentleman ol lortune, who hud lor sßVCfcil years abandoned himself in the vortex oi dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at ■ I length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener- He was, indeed,reduced to the last extremity ol debility and t istelessness, for, if an occasional flash of excitement warmed his system, the* mac- U tiou was almost immediate,and the result perled m prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrum* in such cases ; but, as I had anticipated, without success ; and when I saw the “ Lucina Cm dial’ advertised, I must confess that even the great weight of your name did not give me much hope in it, at least so far as regarded the case in hand. J felt hound to try it,howev-.-r,and was soon satisfied of iis efficacy ; for before a botile was expended, mV patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of his system ; ami he is now, having used four bottkb as w ellxs ever.
