Radical Cure of Hernia or ILipfftre, by i>r«
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ i-russes.
FIIHE subscriber has opened an offieft at the Drug
| store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson ft Co., fortha
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by mlms of these
ustly celebrated instruments. He lift now used
them for nearly a year, and, didnotdeicacy forb ; J,
he could name several persons who ha vl been rau ,-
cally cured, of this truly distressing aril dangerous
affection, by the use of these Trusses, blsides many
others who are in ; fairway of beingftntirely re
lieved. The following is the language!)! the com
mittee ot the Philadelphia Medical Softety on the
Radical Cure of Hernia. I
“ The instruments of Dr. ('base hft e effected
the permanent and accurate retentioil of the in
testines in every case of Hernia obseft ed by the
committee, without material inconvenftnce to the
patient, and often under trials more levere than
are usually ventured upon by those whl wearother
trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any
other apparatus known to the committee.”
“ The committee are induced by til; foregoing
conclusions to recommend, strong films, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the cclifidence of
the profession, as the best known meins of me
chanical retention in hernia, and as filnishiugthe
highest chances of radical cure.” I
The following is from the Southern Ifedica! and
Southern Journal, published in our owl city,
“ All must admit of the radical curl of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are dccidtlily the best
yet invented to effect the object.” I
Persons from a distance can have the Sistruments
applied, upon application at the office, Imd all ne
cessary information given to enable thftn to adjus

this afflicting complaint,will be treatedftratuitous

satisfaction.
A Student!—connected with one of our Liter
ary Institulions, where this loathsome disease had ap

Seminary, and vicinity, as the bet t remedy known for the
Itch!

tion, ease and certainly, is unsurpassed, if equalled. It
does not contain the least paiticle of mercury, or other

celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla

I Swellings in the Joints, &c., known as Cohen’s
i 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
j 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
j 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
| he Liniment, see that it is accompanied with the
i signature of the proprietor in his own hand writing.
1 Since the introduction of this remedy to the public,
I 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 profession, as well as by the
! thousands of persons who have been effectua ly
i cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined
I letters from a few who are well and popularly
known to the entire society in New Yorir, and
whose opinions and professional judgments are
universally esteemed.

ANTI-BALSAMIC gonorrhoea l solution.
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
'■'HIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
1. long known, and usedwith such unparralleled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 ycais, ap
pears to need no panegyric. 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 formulae,
or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue
and hazard by M. 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 aimost
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 maniputatory process of manufacture, j
Few white men would credit the length of time
whicTi is consumed in preparing the article for im
mediate use. k

have for my white friend M. Cheveret, (for he has t

which my children have had sent among them as

!r\R. £. SPOHN, h German physic ian of much
1 9 note, navmg aevoieo ms attention ;of some
years to tne cure and removal of the ctuseaof NER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD aCHE, has the satis
faction to make known, tha, 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 iney might not only alleviate,
but actually eradicated by the use if his remedy.
It is the result of scientific research,and is entirely
of a different chaiacter from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing corapaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matterofmuch astonishment.
That so m ich suffering should have existed for ages
w’ithout any discovery of an effectual prevenliv3, or
cure,is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S.
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
an a milled fact that this complaint, w hether 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 3 sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough ihe
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of the natural and
healthy functions of the system. 7 his object, Dr.
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to aitain.
The truth of this position cannot be controverted,
and the sooner sufferers with ihe headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration of health, Dr. pledges his
professional reputation on this fact. Tive remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.

SrMIHE great celebrity of this unrivalled fompo
-1 sition,especially in the Northern States, leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its
' favor; for it has been generally conceded to it, that
i. it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for cx
ii ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed thejspeed and certainty of its operaiions,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wouuds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, w hile swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, <fec. &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 days, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperate casesot white swelling that can be ima
gir ed. 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
pervading the system. It is likewise greatly supe
rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the
chafed back and limbs of horses—for tetters, ring
w orms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter
nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or
beast.
The proprietor has received at least a thousand
certificates, and other documents, in favor of his
“ Specific Ointm nt,” upwards of a hundred of

Sir—l useyour Specific Ointment in my practice,
and cordially recommend it as a most efficient reme
dy’ for Tumors, Ulcers, White Swellings, Scrofula,
Rheumatic Pains, Chapped Face, Lips and Hands:

Dear Sir—My daughter, a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn thecomp ainl that physicians
termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, independent of
every other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, I applied your ointment to the
afflicted part; and I thank God that my child is
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is
getting her ban as fast as can be expected. The
cure was effected in lather less than two months ;
during which time I used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment ; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
duiing the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

I hereby substantiate the truth ol the above
statement.

Boston, Jan. 7, 1837,
Dear Sir—l have to request of you to forward
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most
immediate conveyance, and without regard to the
expense of carriage, as I am quite out, and much
in want ol it.—You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore 1 shall only add,
that further t xperience has increased my enthusi
asm and established me m theopinion, that it is su
perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.
Respectfully yours,

Dr. Harrison
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, havo
been long known to me,as 1 have used none other
iu my rather extensive practice forseveral years,and
if you think it wuuid be to your advantage, 1 can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures which it has effected under my own imme
diate inspection : the last being one of a severe
and apparently p-rpetual ulcer, in the back of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di
vision street, which it completely healed in twenty
one days. My present chief ob|ect in w riting to
you, is to learn wdio is your authorised agent in this
! city, for,being in want of a supply of your oint
ment, and Ihe person Mr. Boyle,from whom 1 used
to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi
ness, I am fearful if 1 purchase at random, that 1
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.
Your obedient servant,

Dr Harrison.
Sir, —1
hive no hesitation in stating, in reply to
your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority ol the ends for which you re
commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by the word
majority, as it is ray maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters where 1 have had no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
lows, piles, &c, it is m, universal recipe. I have
abo used it on the leg of a boy which had been
bitten by an adder, and the extraction of the poison,
and ultimate cure was so rapid, that my parient was’
a» well as ever in a week ; and has remained so to
this day

1 1 Pills are no longer among those of doubt
ful utility. They have passed away from Hie
hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide ol
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 tha«
has ever been prepared tor 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 ol
which are from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this medicm
been the subject of editorial comment, in vanou
newspapers and journals; and it may with ti uth be
asserted, that no medicine of the kin 1 has ever re
ceived testimonials of greater value th in are at
tached to this.
They are in general use as a family medicine
and there axe,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

Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels,
where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are
exceedingly mild in their operation, producing
1 neither nausea, griping nor debilitv.
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 requestof 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 are the benefits we havereceiv
i ed from them in general, that 1 w r ould rather pur
chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house
without them. 1 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
pie 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 grate.
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
pecting 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 I could mention many more
of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills
r 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 r 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 Bal- ,
1 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 c 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 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
to perfect health. Since then, various members of
my family have used them with equal success—
and consequently 7 1 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 I 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 administered, with
such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes
ray 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 such great
favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is
not one of them who does not use it in his private
practice. Yours most resp’y.

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo
gart, of Providence, R. 1,, Dec. 17, 1838.— Peters’
i pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi-
I cine, those effects being produced by the differences
| of the quantity taken, and are decidedly superior
to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.
Extract from a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor,
Me , Jan. 9, 1839. They are a peculiarly mild,yet

lious fever.
Extractor a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams of
Burlington, Vt., July 9, 1837. —1 cordially recom

diseases of the digestive organs.

really a valuable discovery. I have no hesitation
in having it known that I use them extensively in
my practice,for all complaints, (and they are not a
few) which have their source in the impurity of the
blood
Extract of a letter from Dr. Dye of Quebec, L.

Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson. 1
N. Y., June 3, 1836. —I was aware that Dr. Peters
was one of the best chemists in the United States, 1
and felt assured that he would some day (from his
intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs
and drugs) produce an efficientmedicine, and I must
acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully respond 1
to my expectations. They arc indeed a superior
medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist
the Physician, and the Philosopher.

Having used Dr. Peters’ Pills in my practice for
he last twelvemonths, I take pleasure in
my testimony of their good effects in cases of dvs-
sick head-ache, bilious fevers, and other

I*E CORDIAL DE LUCINE.^ 1
OU L’KLIXIR DE L’AMOUR.
THE subscriber has the pleasure o! announcm
to ihe citizens t»f the U. States, that be h
purchased, fora very large sum and fr ( , m in -
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of p ar j a I* 1 ’
recipe ar d rieht for making this astonishing V ,s
cine. Until the appearance of the “
dial,'* (about three years since,) it was thought thni* B
the complaints, which it speedily overcomes wer B
beyond ihe reach of human remedy, as for upwar/ !
of a ihousand ytars. they had baffled the wisdom
and ingenuity of the most profound physician 81 W
all pans ol the world. This Cordial, however 1°
the great advanlage of the human race, soon pr Ov«J 0 v«J
itself to be the desideratum so long sought lor- and
accordingly, notwithstanding tl e brief peri.dof is
existence, it has required a celebrity so great, th E t V
it Is eagerly inquired for throughout the civili ze( i
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the demand m
was so vast as to render a supply impossible, dis. i
posed of the recipe and right ol sale, undero'bW J
lions of secrecy, fir England, the United States K
and other countries, only preserving France and
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber po«. I
sessed himself of the invaluable secret; end now I
hastens lo give the inhabitants of his line cf agents
the benefits of his speculation.
“le Cordial I)e Lucine,” or, in English, “the I
Lucira Cordial,” isa general invigorator of the 1
human frame ! In all the various cases of languor I
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing rente- I
dy; as it i* equally its province to imparl cheerful,
ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor I
to the body But the peculiar virtue on which n s I
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they have
been destroyed by disease,time,recklessness,orany
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of ihose functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this Cordial contains nothing of a mer.
curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre
dients which compose it; but is, at ihesame time,
so simple, yet so efficacious, that 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 unfortunately such,
that, notwithstanding ihe benefits which would be
sure to resullfrom it, we cannot enter into an analy
sis of this ine-tiraable Cordial here, or publish many
of the documents which have been received, at
vouchers of the blessings n has conferred on nura- J
hers of despairing individuals. But this wc cannot 1
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility ol
the procreant Junctions,in eithersex ; and therefore, 1
that thcseevils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued i»nd removed by the
use ot “ Le Cordial tie Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also tn indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and ihe Fluor Albus,obstructed, diffi.
cult, or painful Menstrual ion ; also, for the incon
tinenct of Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
of. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of theskin,
and in the droptdcal affections of the aged.
Most important to the American Public.
The United States proprietor of the celebrated
“ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the following certificate,
which he has received from the inventor, the illus
trious Dr. Magnin . of Paris r
“ Thii is to certify, that I have disposed of the
recipe for making the “Luc.na Cordial,” or
“ Elixir of Love,” and also ihe right to sell it
throughout the I nit ed States of North America,
to John Winters Hoiderwell, M. D. My reasons
for so doing is, that the demands to me for the above
Cordial, of which I am the inventor, are so nume
rous, i hat I am unable to supply all the orders from
France and Italy alone; and have therefore dispo
sed of the privileges vouchsafed in this, and oilier
certificaies of a like nature in order to generalise

1 am now on the wrong side of eighty, and yet 1
could be on my honor or oath if necessary, that a
boltleor two of your Cordial of Love hasrnauerae

think you have discoveted the “Elixir of Life,’
which the alchy mists have been so long in quest ol;
and that (pardon my officiousness,; you should have
named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, J 837.
To Dr. Magnin: —My dear friend—l am mos
gratified at the unprecedented popularitv of your
“Lucina Cordial,” and am able to hear testimony lo
its surprising virtue. J had a patient recently,
I M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had lur
several years abandoned himself in the vortex ot
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener
gies. He was.indeed,reduced to the last extremity
ot debility and tastelessness, lor, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed hts system, the reac
tion was almost immtdtate, and the result perlect
prostration. 1 had appih d all the usual nostrums
in such cai-es ; but, as I had anticipated, without
success ; an.i when l saw the “ Lucina Cordial"
advertised, I must confess that even the great weight
of your name did noi gne me much hope in it, at
least so far as regarded ihe case in band. 1 felt
bound to try il,however,and was soon saiisfied of
iisefficacy ; for before a boiile was expended, my
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of
his systt a.; and he is now, h..\mg used four buttle?,
as well is ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the
first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine,” would
