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- ha\ e 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 ary usually ventured upon by those who wearolher 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 means of me chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the highest chan res of radical cure.” i The fol owing is from the Southt?irn Medical and Southern Journal, published in ur jnvn city. “ All must admit of the radical ?:uie of hernia, and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best yet invented to effect the object.” ! Persons from a distance can have the instruments applied, upon application at the office, a.ud all ne cessary information given to enable .them to adjus it themselves.

MILES’ COMPOUND EX-TRACT OF TOVIATO —a substitute for Calomel, and docs not belong to the family of quack medicines; for the reason that the component parts are made known to the faculty, or any one e|se that may wish to know, by any of the agents |e» ping them for sale. Since this discovery so Umg and anx iously looked for, some one in almost extreme North has advertised a Tomato Pill, Purporting to be made from the stalk, a thing not more ausuiu than for one to offer meal from the ciini 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 honoi pledg ed to prove by their use, that they are all that they pr&less to be, and will do for otheis what they have done for such as mav have used them ; as this is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will doubtless be valuable information to -families to know that the Yellow are just doubly =as valuable as the Red Tomato, and produces twire as much of the hapatine, or active principle, and: w hen used as a daily vegetable will be found to keep the system in much better condition than the other kind ; many will recollect with what 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 Ute was it ascertained that they contained alterative,* and diu retic properties. The Faculty embrace ! ;and use the preparation most cheerfully, for the rehson that they know what it is Were it a patent mystery, they would be bound to reject the medicine, as they justly do the one thousand and one cure-ails of the @ day. If you wish to cleanse the system with a mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato Piil, of which a supply, we leam, will scion be in this city. We all know something about this.

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 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 known to the entire society in New York, and whose opinions and professional judgments are universally esteemed.

The principles on which it acts are simple and plain. It is an a mined fact that this complaint, whether called Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim arily from lhe stomach —those who think they have the Nervous Headache may rest, assured that this organ, the stomach, is ihe first cause, that th ‘sys tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the stomach, and that only through the same channel must thev expects rest-'tation ol ihe naural and healthy functions ol the system.

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 all 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 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, w ho are the most competent judges of their merits. Often have the cures performed by this medicin been the subject of editorial comment, in virion 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.lhousands of families who declare they re never satisfied until they have a supply always on hand. They have no rival in curing and preventing Billions Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, Furred l ongue. Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,Flatulence,HaDitu 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, giiping no debility. The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by- a highly respectable Planter of Wake County, N'o Ca ,March 3d, 1838: Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, —By request of your agent, Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting tlie almost miraculous effects of your piPs ; and 1 won !d 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 thiee years; and so great ain? the benefits we have receiv ed from them in general, that 1 would rather pur chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house without them. 1 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. Jiy 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 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 i could mention many more ! of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills j were equally successful in rescuing the patients fiom 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 1 presume you know fiorn the immense quantity you dispose {of I may mention, however,that notwithstanding j its general use, I never heard an individual complain j of its effects. My residence is 12 miles from Lai I eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. 1 am, w ith sen • timents of regard, your ob’t servant. A. G. BANKS. To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upward" of fifteen | months, 1 have been ciueily afflicted with Fever and Ague; and during the time could hnd nothing — though I had applied to every thing that gave me j any thing like permanent relief. At length, how | ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one of our best phv sicians, and I am most grateful and happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used two boxes when I found that they had restored me i to perfect health. Since then, various members of i 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 1 am anxious to add my public testi mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your tin- I rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours, THEODORE JAMES. Augusta, Ga., Feb 10, 1839. Communication received from the eminent Dr. J. I 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 1 found his son laboring under a most alarming attack of I Cynanc he 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 1 y our pills —four of whicn 1 administere 1, with j such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes j 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 j you that your inestimable medicine is in such great favor with the faculty here, that 1 bel.eve there is not one of them who does not use it in his private practice. \ ours most resp’y.

Stales, that he purchased, fora very large gum and from the in ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of Paris his recipe ar d ri«ht for rnakmgiln* astonishing muli- Bine. Until the appearance <>f the ‘ Lucina Cor dial,’ (about three years since,) it was thought that the complaints, w hich it speedily overcomes, were beyond the reach of human remedy as for upwards oi a thousand ytars. they had baffled the wisdom and ingenuity of lie most profound physicians in all pans ol the world. This < ’ordial, however, to I he great ad vantage of the human race, soon proved itse.f to ht the desideratum so long sought for; and accordingly, notwithstanding rl e brief peri dof.ts existence, it has required a celebrity so great, that 1' is eagerly inquired lor throughout the civilized globe. Dr Magnin soon finding: that the demand was so vast as o render a supply impossible, dis posed of ihe recipe and right of sale, under obliga tions of secrecy, lor England, the United States and othei countries, only preserving trance and Italy for himself. Thus has the suhsciiher peg. sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and now hastens togtveihe inhabitants of his lined agents, thebenefitsof his speculation. “let ordial he Lucine,” or, in English, “ihe Lucira < ordial.” is a general iuvigorator of the human frame! In all Ihe various cases of languor lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unlading remc* dy ; as il is equally its province to impart cheerful ness ami decision to the mind, as Ik alih and vigor to the body Hut the pecu l i«r virtue on which us celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with whicli it restores the virile powers when they have hern desiroved by dis< ase.lime, recklessness,orany of the numerous cauces which terminate in the prostration of those functions. In common with the generality of really good medicines, tbist odiai conta.ns nothing of a mer curial or deleterious nature, among ihe many ingre dients which compose it ; but is, at ihe same tune, so simple, 3 r et so • flicacious, that while it can reno vate t lie prostrated energies of a giant, an mlan may use it,not only with impunity, but with ad vantage. The usages of society are unfortunately such, that, notwithstanding the b*-n< fits which would be sure to resuli f rom it, we cannot enter into an analy sis ol this ine timable Cordial here, or publish many of the documents which have been received, as vouchers ol the blessings n has conferred on num bers of despairing individuals. But If is wc cannot forbear remarking—that a has been demonstrated that there is scarcely ever, it any such thing at ail, as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of 1 fie procrea nt lunci ions, in either sex ; and iherefore, that th< se evils air the effec ts of artificial causes, aiid may be speedily subdued und removed by the use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” Tlie Lucina Cordial is also tn indubitable cure for ihe Gteei. and the Fluor Mbus,obstructed, diffi cult, or paintul Menstruation; also, for ihe incon tinenct ol Urine,or the: involuntary discharge there of. It is likewise .an invaluable and unrivalled medicine incases of Chronic Eruptions of theskin, and .11 the dropsical affection*of the aged. Most imp riant to the American Public. The United >laies proprietor of the celebrated “ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to Jay before the community, the following certificate, which he has received fiom the inventor, the iJlus trums Dr. Magnin of Pari* “ ’i hi» is to certify, that I have disposed of the recipe for making the “ Luc na Cordial,” or “ 1 nxir oi Love,” ana also the right to sell it throughout the mied Stairs of North America, to John Winters liolderwell. M D. My reasons for so doing is, that t lie demands to me for the above Cordial, of vv hich I am the inventor, are so nume rous, 1 hat 1 am unable lo supply ah the orders from France and 1 • ai\ alone; and have t lie refure dispo sed of the privileges vouchsafed in this, and oilier certificates of a like nature in order to generalise the benefits ol my discovery throughout the world.

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels October 3, 1837. To Dr. MagninMy dear friend—l am rnos graiified at ihe unprecedented popularity ol your “Lucina Cordial,” and am able 10 kear testimony to its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently, 1 M , a gentleman oi fortune, who had lor several year* abandoned himself in the vortex 01 dissipation ; and was oniy reclaimed from u at lengih by the utter prostration of ah his vmle ener gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity ot debility and t for, if an occasional flash ot excitement warmed his system the reac tion was almost immediate,and the result periert prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nosirums in such ca.-es ; but, as 1 had anticipated, without success; and when 1 saw ihe “Lucum Coidiat” advertiser!, i runs: confess that even the greai weight of your name did noi give rue much hope in it, at least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1 felt bound to try il,howev r,and was soon satisfied of its efficacy ; for before a boitle was expended, my patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of his sysho.; ami heis now, having used four bottles, as vvellAs ever.
