Radical Cure ol Heruiaor Hup are, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons' Trusses.
THE subscriber has opened an offi ?, at the Drug
store of .Messrs. J. J. Robertscr Si Co., for the
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by i cans of these
ustly celebrated instruments. He is now used
them for nearly a year, and, did not d icacy forbid,
he could name several persons who ha ebeen radi
cally cured, of this truly distressing i d dangerous
affection, by the use of these Trusses, esides many
others who are in a fairway of bein entirely re
lieved. The following is the languag of the com
mittee of the Philadelphia Medical S ;iety on the
Radical Cure of Hernia.
“ The instruments of Dr. Chase I vt effected
the permanent and accurate retentit of the in
testines in every case of Hernia obst ved by the
committee, without material inconvei ence to the
patient, and often under trials more severe than
are usually ventured upon by those w! > wearother
trusses •, trials that would be imprud nt with any
other apparatus known to the commit ?e.”
“ The committee are induced by i e foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in strong rms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the c nlidence of
the profession, as the best known ra ms of me
chanical retention in hernia, and as { rnishingthe
highest chances of radical cure.”
The fol.owing is from the Scutherr Medical and
Southern Journal, published in our o\ i city.
“ All must admit of the radical cu ; of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are deck dly the best
yet invented to elfect the object.”

j£jr A Student!—connected with one of our Liter
ary Institutions, where this loathsome disease had ap
peared, observes, that Dumfries’ Itch Ointment extermi
nated it, after various other applications had failed to do
so, and it had in consequence gained a reputation in that
Seminary, and vicinity, as the best remedy known for the
Itch!

tion, ease and certainly, is unsurpassed, if equalled. Il

RHEUMATISM.
COHEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.—
Dr. M. B. Cohen,proprietor of the universally
celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Inlla
matory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago. Pains and
| Swellings in the Joints, &c., known as Cohen’s
j Rheumatic Embrocation, begs respectfully to refer
I 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. 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
•ignature 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
“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-
I 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
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.

ANTI-BALSAMJC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
>1 HIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
1 long known, and used with such unparvalleled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 years, 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 al! of its
trying circumstances, namely', “five day's,”—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' >l. Cheveres, from the celebrated
Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst
he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
i 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 almost
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 “ait 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, 1 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
31. Chcveret, wiren 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
done many good things for me and my people,) I
give to him my greatest cure for the bad sickness
w'hich 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.”

DR, tl. BFOHN, a German physician of much
note, naving devotee ms attention lor some
years to tne cure and removal of me ct uses of NER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD aCHE, has the satis
faction to make known, that he has a remedy which
by removing the causes cures effectually and perma

families who have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint - Dr. S. as
sures them that iliey are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which incy might not onlv alleviate,
but actually eradicated by the us This remedy.
It is ihe result of scientific research, and is entirely
of a different chat acler from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraerdmary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy lor Ibis distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That so ra ich suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or
cure.is iruly a subject of much regrei 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 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, thiough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expect s restoration of ihe natural and
healihy functions of the system. This object. Dr.
Spohn’s remedy isennnenily calculated to attain.
The truth of this posilion cannot be controverted,
and the sootier sufferers wiih the headache become
convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end
in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his
prrfessionai reputation on this fact. Tne remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout

Dear Sir—My daughter,a girl of louneen, was
sadly afflicted witn the comp aim that physicians
tern.ed a scald head ; and 1 feared, indepe dent of
ever\ other evil, that she would be bald in conse

afflicted part; and 1 thank God that my child is
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is

IHESE Pills are no longer among those of doubt
ful utility. 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
1 which are from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent judges ot their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this medicin
been the subject of editorial comment, in variou
' newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be
asserted, that no medicine of the kinl has ever re-
I ceived testimonials of greater value th in are at
tached to this.
, They are in general use as a family medicine
j and there are f 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
| Billions Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver

The following w r as forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of Wake Comity, 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 pi 's; and I 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 ai*e the benefits we have receiv
i ed from them in general, that I would rather pnr
i 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
• were many, and of very opposite natures, which
, has fully proved to me that your medicine is asirn
. pie purifier of the system, and therefore equally
i the enemy of every disease. 1 will mention one
case. 1 have a sister who had been for a long pe
riod se* erely afflicted with dropsy in the chest and
j was brought by it to the very verge of the gra\ e.
1 -She was attended by the most eminent physicians
1 that money could procure; but all their efforts to
restore her to health, or even to mitigate hersuffer
' ings were fruitless ; and accordingly,w 7 e all consid
ered her immediate death as inevitable. By good
j fortune, however, as she was in this situation, ex
pect ng every day to be her last, your pills w r ere
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
r who were witness of it, (but more especially the
suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to
j miraculous; and yet 1 could mention many more
j of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills
{ were equally successful in rescuing the patients
j from the jaws of death. Need 1 add that the popu
larity of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in
this section of the country P But this I presume
you know from the immense quantity you dispose
of I may mention, however, that notwithstanding
» its general use, I never heard an individual complain
' of its effects. My residence is 12miles from bat
’ eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen
timents of regard, j our ob’t servant.
I A. G. BANKS.
To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upward 0, of fifteen
1 months, 1 have been cruelly afflicted with Fever
and Ague; and during the time could lind nothing —
though had applied to every thing that gave me
any thing like permanent relief. At length, how
-3 ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
3 of our best physicians, and lam most grateful and
1 happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used
-two boxes when I found that they had restored me
1 to perfect health. Since then, various members of

* and consequently 1 feel it my duty 7 to apprise 3ou
1 of the fact, and to request of you to pub.ish this

of the quantify taken, and are decidedly superior
to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.

was one of the best chemists in the United States
and felt assured that he would some day (from his’
intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs

to my expectations. They are indeed a superior
medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist

OU L’ELIXIR DE L’aMOUR
rpHE subscriber has the pleasure ol anoouncm
1 to the cuizensof the U. States, (hat he h>
purchased, for a very large sum and from tne
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of p ari;j . ln '
recipe ar d right for making this astonishing T
cine Until the appearance of the 4 Li )e irf a p
dial,'’ (about three years since,) it was thought in
the complaints,which it speedily overcomes we?
beyond the reach ol human remedy as furunw-ml
of a thousand yrars. they had baffled the vvisdnm
and ingenuity of the most profound physician.,
all pans ot the world. This Cordial! how™" "
the great advantage of the human race,soon nrnvpd
itself to be the desideratum so long sought tor • en
accordingly, notwithstanding t| e brief pen d Q f
existence, it has required a celebrity so great that
i» la eagerly inquired for throughout ,h e civil izet i
globe. Dr Magnm soon finding that the demand
was so vast as o render a supply impossible, do.
posed of the recipe and right of sale, under ~hli«a
lions of secrecy, R»r England, the United Slang
and olhct countries, only preserving France ond
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber p uß .
sessed himself ol the invaluable secret; and now *
hastens 10 give the inhabitants of his line cl a»enis
the benefits of his speculation.
“Le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, 4i ine
Lucira Cordial,” isa general invigorator of the
human frame ! In all the various cases of languor
lass.tude, and debilitation ; it is an unlading reme
dy ; as it is equally its province to impart ciieerfui
ness and decision to the mind, ns health and vigor
to the body But the peculiar virtue on which its
celebrity is based, is the lacihty and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers w hen they have
been destroved by disease, time, recklessness,oraur
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those funciions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, thisv oidial contains nothing of a ,<ier.
curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre
dients which compose it ; bulis, at the same time,
so simple, > 7 et so efficacious, that while it can rent,
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an tnfan
may use it,notonly with impunity, but with ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such,
that, notwithstanding the benefits which would be
sure to result from it, we cannot enler into an analy
sis ol this ine timable Cordial here, or publish man?
ol the documents which have been received, as
vouchers ol lhe blessings 11 lias conferred on num
bers of despairing individuals. Bin to is wc cannot
forbear remarking— l hat 11 has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, il any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility ol
the procreantl unci ions, in either sex ; and therefore,
that those evils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued end removed by tne
use ol 44 Le Cordial dejLucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also tn indubitable cure
for theGleet.and ihe Fluor A Ibus, obstructed, dtffi.
cult, or paintul Menstruation ; also, for the incon
tinence ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
of. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medi« ine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of iheskin,
and in the dropsical affections ol the aged.
Most imp riant to the American Public.
The United States proprietor of* the celebrated
44 Lucina Cordial,” or 44 Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the following certificate,
which he has received from the inventor, ihe illus
trious Dr. Magnin of Parks
44 Thi» is to cerlily, 1 hai I have disposed of the
recipe for tusking ihe 44 Luc na Cordial,” or
44 Elixir of Love,” and also ihe right 10 sell it
throughout Ihe • titled Staff s of North America,
to John Winters Holdcrwell, M D. My reasons
fur so doing is, that the demands t < me for the above
Cordial, ol w hich 1 am ihe inventor, are so nume

To Dr. Magnin ; —My dear friend —I am moa
gratified at the unprecedented popularity ol yous
“Luc’na Cordial,” and am able to hear testimony to
its surprising virtue, 1 had a patient recently
I M , a gentleman 01 lortune, who had lor
several years abandoned himself in the vortex 01
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of all his virile emer
ges. He was, indeed, reduced to the last ext remit}'
of debility and t isteiessness, lor, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the result perfect
prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrums
in such ca.-es ; hut, as I had anticipated, without
success ; and when I saw the “ Lucina Cordial
advertised, i must confess that even the great weigh l
of your name did not give me ranch hope in n. at
