So certain and searching is this Liniment in its operations, even in cases of long standing, and of an obstinate nature, that it lias 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 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 5 “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 i men in the medical profession, as well as by the j thousands of persons who have been effectua ly j cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined letters from a few who are well ami popularly known to the entire society in New York, and 1 whose opinions and professional judgments are j universally esteemed.

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. Cheveres, from the celebrated Indian Chief VVabenothe, or Great .Moon, whilst he. with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu i sin ess 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 chi'dtcn 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 >l. CheveretjWhen 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 i 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.

Thus, if prop erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or break and heal a bile in five nays, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer tji two weeks, and the most desperate cases of w hite swelling that can be ima I gired. have been destroyed by it in less than two months. In ihe bites 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 ! perva ting the system.

The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No Ca ,March 3d, 1838: 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, 1 speak of their merits from experience, as I and my family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three years ; and so great aj*e the benefits we havereceiv s ed from them in general, that I would rather pur -8 chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house t without them. I will not enumerate the afflictions they have relieved us of; but I can assure you they I. were many, and of very opposite natures, which i, has fully proved to me that your medicine is a Sim 1, pie puriticr of the system, and therefore equally !, the enemy of every disease. I will mention one y case. 1 have a sister who had been for a long pe riod severely afflicted with dropsy in the chest and r was brought by it to the very verge of the gra\e. I She was attended by the most eminent physicians * that money could procure; but all their dibits to 4 restore her to health, or even to mitigate her suffler * | irigs were fruitless ; and accordingly,we all consid * | ered her immediate death as inevitable. By good s fortune, however, as she was in this situation, ex * pectng every day to be her last, your pills were 1 introduced into my family, and so speedy and pal pable were their effeats that three doses visibly re- B lieved her, and in less than three months she was = j perfectly restored to health. This case, I and all l who were witness of it, (but more especially the r i suffering party,) considered to he the next thing to j miraculous ; and yet I could mention many more of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills j ■ were equally successful in rescuing the patients e 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 1 may mention, however, that notwithstanding » its general use, I 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. 8 | A. G. BANKS. 3 i To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upward o of fifteen Y 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 g ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one g | of our best physicians, and 1 am most grateful and f happy in being able to add. that 1 had scarcely used . two boxes when I found that the}' had restored me 3 to perfect health. Since then, various members of 3 ; my family have used them with equal success — 3 and consequently 1 feel it my duty to apprise you i of the fact, and to request of you to publish this ? | certilicate, as 1 am anxious to add my public testi ; mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un - rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours, s : THEODORE JAMES, i Augusta, Ga.. Feb 10, 1839. Communication received from the eminent Dr. J. H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia : 3 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 I his son laboring under a most alarming attack of , Cynanche Tracnealis (Croup) and apparently be j 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 1 administere l, with such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes my patient was at ease, and out of danger. This 1 case, in connection with my name is at your ser • vice—and 1 have the pleasure to be able to inform J you that your inestimable medicine is in such «reat * favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is r uot one of them wiio does not use it in his private » practice.
