COHEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.— Dr. M. B. Cohen, proprietor of the universally celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla matory Rheumatism, Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and Swellings in the Joints, &c., known as t ohen’s Rheumatic Embrocation, begs respectfully to refer all persons suffering from these disea es to the 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. Tite following letters are selected from hundreds of others of a like de scription. It will be proper that all using he Liniment see that it is with the signature of the propiltior 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, 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 piofession, 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 am! popularly known lo the entire society in New York, and whose opinions and professional judgments are universally esteemed.

Tkis stale ot th. public mind would seem to forbid any person of delicate mind Irom sending forth any new dis coveries in medicine, to the trial of thw public. Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from making know n real discoveries, which w'eare con fident will benefit our fellow men. This latter consideration has prompted the author o( these hit ters to make them known. He knows they are high ly efficacious, for he himself, his wife, and many friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was himself a confirmed dyspeptic, so much, that even his recollection was gone. By using these bitters he has been restored to health. Mrs. Cosby was troubled for raooy years,but was restored to health by the use ol these hitters. This has been the case with many of his fri. nds.

SPOHN, a German physician of much note, naving devotee ms attention lor some years totnecure and removal ofthe causes of NER VOUS AND SICK HEAD aCHE, has ihesatis fiction to make known, that he has a remedy which by removing the causes cures effectually and perma nently this distressing complaint. There are many families who have considered Sick Headache a con stitutional incurable family complaint* Dr. S, as sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring under distress which tney might not only alleviate, but actually eradicated by the us- if his remedy. It is the result of scientific research,and is entirely of a different chat acter from advertised patent medi cines, and is not unpleasant lo the taste. HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS. The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s remedy for this distressing eornpaint is every day gaining is certainly a matter ol much astonishment, That so ra tch suffering should have existed for ages w ithout any discovery of an effectual prevenliv t, or cure, is truly a subject of much regrei but Dr. S. now' assures the public that such a remedy has been invented as will convince the mostcredulo*as. 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 the stomach —those who think they have the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th ‘sys tem has become vitiated or debilitated, tlnoogh ihe stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expects restoration of the ua;ural and healthy functions ol the system. This object, Dr. Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to a tain. The truth of this position cannot be controverted, and the sooner sufferers with the headache become convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his prr fessionai reputation on this fact. Ine remedy may be had of apothecaries generally throughout the United States. „ „ For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 23‘- Broad-street, Augusta. mar fIIHE great celebrityof this unrivalled Uompo- S sit ion, especially in the Northern Stales, leaves the proprietor hut little need lo say any thing in its favor: for it has been generally conceded to it,that it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for ex ternal complaints that has ever been discovered. Indeed ihe.speed and certainty of its operations, have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds, corns, fever sores,chilblains, w hite swellings, biles, 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 bile in five oays, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most desperate cases of while swelling that can be ima gir ed have been destroyed by it in less than two months. In the bitea 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 nn&,the system It is likewise greatly supe rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the chafed hack and limbs of horses—lor letters, ring worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter nal bodily evil that may fall lo the lot of 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 in reputation, and as extensively employed in alfparts 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 remarkatde evidences of their goad effects. The certificates that have been presented to the propi ictor exceed twenty thousand! upwards of live hundred ol which are from regular practising physicians, who are the most competent judges of their merits. Cften have the cures performed by this medicm been the subject of editorial comment, in variou newspapers and journals; and it may with trutn 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 ai'ejthousands ol lamiiies who declare they re never satisned until they have a supply always on hand. They have no rival in curing and preventing Billious 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 Bowels, liicipientDianhcea,Flatulence,Haoitu 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 no debility. 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 lew 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, I speak of their merits from experience, as 1 and my family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three years ; and so great are 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. I will not enumerate the 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 wiil 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 termitigate 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 less 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 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 . i 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. 1 am, with sen timents of regard, your ob’t servant. A. G. BANKS. To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upward o of fifteen months, I have been cruelly afflicted with Fever and Ague; and during the tiro'*find nothing— though 5 d iu every thing that gave me any ruing 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 I happy in being able to add, that I had scarcely used two boxes when 1 found that they 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 you of the fact, and to request of you to publish this certificate, as I am 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 1 Ith inst., I was called in great haste lo 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 your pills —four of which 1 administere i, 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 you that your inestimable medicine is in such great favor with the faculty here, that I bes eve there is not one of them who does not use it in his private practice.

THE subscriber has the pleasure ol announcing to the ciiizensof the U States,ihat he W, purchased, fora very large sum and from the m ventor, ihe celebrated Dr. Magnin, ol Paris hi recipe ar d ri«fflr for making this astonishing rn<(| S fine. Until the appearance of the * Lucina Cor dial, ’ (about three years since,) it was thought iW the complaints, which it speedily overcomes, were beyond ihe reach ot human remedy as for upwards .of a thousand ytars. they had baffled the wisdom and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in all pans ol ,l,e world. Thj. r„rdial°hiw o the great advantage of the human race, soon proved itse.l to he the desideratum so long sought for • and accordingly,notwithstanding H e hriet peri dos ts existence, it has required a celebrity so great thst it la eagerly inquired for throughout the civilized globe. Dr Magnin soon finding that the demand was so vast as o render a supply impossible dis posed of the recipe and right ol sale, under obliga tions of secrecy, t«r England, the Ur died Slates and othei countries,only preserving trance and' Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber pus sessed himself of Ihe invaluable secret ; snd now hastens to give the inhabitants of his lined agents the benefits of his speculation. “let ordial l)e Lucine,” or, in English, “ine Lucira < ordial,” isa general invtgorator of the human frame! In all the various cases of languor lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unlading rente.’ 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 u a celebrity is based, is the facility and certainly with which it restores the virile powers when they have been destroved by disease, time, recklessness, or any of the numerous causes which terminate in the prostration of those functions. In common with the generality of really good medicines, this v oidial contains nothing of a n;ei. curia 1 or deleterious nature, among the many ingre dients which compose it; but is, at the same tune, so simple, yet so i fficacious, t hat while it can reno vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an infan may use it ,not only with impunity, but with ad vantage. The usages of society are unfortuna:e!y such, that, notwithstanding ’.lie ben< fils which would be sure lo result from it, w r e cannot enter into an analy sis ol thisine timabie Cordial here, or publish many of the documents which have been received, as vouchers of (he blessings n lias confcmdon num bers of despairing individuals. Hull is vve cannot forbear remarking—(hat it has been demonstrated that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all, as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of the procreantlunciious, in either sex ; and therefore, that tht se evils are the effects ol artificial causes, and may he speedily subdued arid removed by the use ol “ Le Cordial tie Lucine.” The Lucina Cordial is also an indubitable cure for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus, obstructed, d/rti cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon tinence ot Urine,or Ihe involuntary discharge there of.

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels October 3, 1837. To Dr. Magnin ; —My dear friend —J am moa gratified all he unprecedented popularity of your “Luc na Cordial,” and am able to near testimony to its surprising virtue, i had a patient recently 1 M , a gentleman 01 fortune, who had tor several years abandoned himselt in the vortex 01 dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at length by the utter prostration of ail his virile ener gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity ol debility and usteiessness, lor, if an occasional flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac lion was almost immediate,and the result pertect prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrums in such ca>es ; but, as 1 had anticipated, without success ; and when 1 saw the “ Lucina Cordial” 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. I felt bound lo fry it, howev r, and was soon satisfied of its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ol his system ; and he is now, having used four bottles, as well ts ever. The number of documents, such as the above which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the first appearance of “ Le t -ordial de Lucine,” would fill a volume as largo as the Bible.
