Since this discovery so Ion; and anx iously looked for, some one in almost th j extreme North has advertised a Tomato Pill, pu porting to be made from the stalk, a thing not m< re ansutu than for one to offer meal from the con stalk, to say nothing of the difficulty of raising tl & Tomato so far North.

Pains and 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.

CINQ JOURS, I OR 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 TRANSLATION. “I, Wabenoshe, Chief of the nations Ottowaand Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which I ■ have for my white friend M. Cheveret, (for he has t done many good things for me and my people,) I r give to him my greatest cure for the bad sickness i 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 W ABINOSHE,his X mark.

Tkis state of ihe public mind would seem to forbid any person of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis co'.enes in medicine, to the trial of thy public. Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from making known real discoveries, w hich we are con fident will benefit our fellow men.

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. For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 j Broad-street, Augusta. _ tnar -Q 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 which were written by respectable members of the Medical faculty.

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.

Respectfully yours, CHARLES P. EMERSON, M. D. New Orleans, Match 20th, 1838 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, EDWARD RAMSEY, M. D. Cincinnati, August 9,1837. 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 Yours respectfully, HENRY JACOBS, M.

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 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 Bowels, IncipientDiarrhoea,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 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. March 13, 1839. J. H. IRWIN, M. D. 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.

Extract of a letter from Dr. Scott of Baltimore, Dec. 17,1836.—1 am in the daily habit of prescri bing them, (Peters’Pills) and they in nearly all cases answered my purpose. I have discarded other medicines, some of them very good ones, in their favor. Charlotte, N.C., Jan. 1, 1837.

THE subscriber has the pleasure o! announcm to ihe citizens t»f the U.

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 the benefils ol my discovery throughout ihe world. , Given under my hand at Barn,on this nineteenth day of January, in the year of our Lord, e.gliteen hundred and thirty eight.

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 fill a volume as large as the Bible.
