Robert;|n &Co., forthe treatment of Hernia or Rupture, bl means of these ustly celebrated instruments. Hts has now used them for nearly a year, and, didnoifdelicacy forbid, he could name several persons whojiave been radi cally cured, of this truly distressing and dangerous affection, by the use of these Trusses, besides many others who are in a fairway of being entirely re lieved. The following is the language of the com mittee of the Philadelphia Medical Society on the Radical Cure of Hernia. | “ The instruments of Dr. Chasei have 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 mire severe than are usually ventured upon oy thoselwho wear other trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any other apparatus known to the com|iittee.” “ The committee are induced b| the foregoing conclusions to recommend, in stroi g terms, the in struments of Dr. Chase to the confidence of the profession, as the best known means of me chanical retention in hernia, and :is furnishing the highest chances of radical cure.” The following is from the South rn Medical and Southern Journal, published in our own city. “ All must admit of the radical 1 cure of hernia, and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best yet in vented to effect the object.” Persons from a distance can have he instruments applied, upon application at the offi :e, and all ne cessary information given to enable them to adjus it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under this afflicting complaint, will be tie: ted gratuitous ly upon presenting a certificate,from some responsi* ble person, of their pecuniary disabi ity.

MILES’ COMPOUND E [TRACT OF TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and does not belong to the family of quick medicines; for the reason that the component arts are made known to the faculty, or any one rise that may wish to know, by any of the agenti keeping them for sale. Since this discovery so {long and anx iously looked for, some one in almo|t the extreme North has advertised a Tomato Pill] purporting to be made from the stalk, a thing nc|l more aosuiu than for one to offer meal from the scorn stalk, to say nothing of the difficulty of raisiijg the Tomato ao far North. } Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the Tomato Pills (proper) for the gre t benefits of which, he holds himself bound, and i 1 honor pledg ed to prove by their use, that they aite all that they profess to be, and will do for othi is what they have done for such as mav have 1 <ed them • as this is a vegetable of great use, am value, it will doubtless be valuable information 0 families to know that the Yellow are just dout y as valuable as the Red Tomato, and produces t vice as much of the hapatine, or active principle,: nd when used as a daily vegetable will be foum to keep the system in much better condition 1 aan the other kind; many will recollect with v hat trembling anxiety calomel has been given tc children, and how they then wished for a subsi ,tute. It has long been known that the Tomatc contained ca thartic principles, but not until o late was it aicertained that they contained alte ative and diu retic properties. The Faculty eml r e and use the preparation most cheerfully, for he reason that they know what it is Were it ap: tent mystery, they would be bound to reject the me licine, as they justly do the one thousand and one c :re-alls of the day.

Cohen, proprietor of the universally ; celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla -1 matory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and i Swellings in the Joints, &c., known as Cohen’s I Rheumatic Embrocation, begs respectfully to refer 1 all persons suffering from these disea es to the thousands of cures that his preparation has accom j plished, and to the numerous strange and highly j, 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 Jong : 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 | signature of the proprietor in his own hand writing. I 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 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 letters from a few who are well and popularly known to the entire society in New York, and whose cfpinions and professional judgments are universally esteemed. M. B. COHEN, No. 275£ Hudson street, N. Y. New York, Aug. 3, 1838. Dear Sir —Having frequently witnessed the ap plication of your Rheumatic Embrocation, and ti e beneficial effects arising therefrom, it affords me pleasure to state that I most cheerfully recommend it as an invaluable remedy, and the best known for the cure of that painful and distressing complaint, either in its acute or chronic form.

CHAS. A. VAN ZANDT, M. D. New York, April 20, 1839. I certify that I have used Dr. M. B. Cohen’s Rheumatic Embrocation, and have found it a most useful adguvant in the treatment of this painful disease, and therefore hesitate not to recommend it in all cases of Rheumatism.

Nones, Ist Lieut, of the Revenue Cutter Alert, in the service of the United States, do certify that I was for five months afflicted with the Inflamatory Rheumatism, and had every reme dy by advice of physicians, without any relief, and finally by advice of Dr. W. Rockwell, health offi cer at quarantine, I applied to Dr. M. B. Cohen, in the month of July, 183, for a bottle of his Rheu matic Embrocation, and after one week’s use of the specific, was entirely free from all pain, and was able to resume my place in the service.

'l' HIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so " long known, and used with such unparralleled success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeais, 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 formula or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue and hazard by M. Cheveres, from the celebrated Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst 1 he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu t siness in the North-west with the Indians. — Wabenoshe prized highly and use it with invariable | success throughout his two tribes. Its known and f 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 r Great Spirit, never to divulge the “art of its «tom , 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 f be anglisized of the deed given by Wabenoshe, to M. Chevcret, when he purchased rhe original recipe, and had twice assisted the Chief himself through the tedious maniputatory 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 Ottowaand 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 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 WABINOSHE,his >i mark.

PERHAPS there is nothing .no” c° •cvlaled to disgust the public eye than the innumerable advertisements of nostrums that are constantly ap pearing in the public prints. All are ready io ex claim, our souls are sick, our ears are pained with every day’s reports of ills and specifics. 'Phis stale of the public mind would seem to forbid any person of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis coveries in medicine, to the trial of tho public.— Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent ns from making know n real discoveries, w hich we are con fident will benefit our fellow' men. This latter ’ consideraiion has prompted the authorof these bit j ters to make them known. He know s 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 1 he has been restored to health. Mrs. Cosby was 5 troubled for many years, but was restored to health ! by the use of these bitters. This has been the case 7 with many of his fri< nds.

He has been for many years a resident of i Augusta, at which place he can at any time be 3 consulted about the bitters. They are good in all cases of diseases of the digestive organs, the symp toms of which are indigestion, pain or oppression in the stomach from food, lossol appetite, flatulen cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, {tain in the side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak* - ness, disiutbed sleep, 4cc The composition is ,en ? rirely Botanical, ami has proved efficacious w hen s many celebrated medicines had failed.

SPCHN, a German payMCian of much note, naving deVotea ms attention for some years to tne cure ana removal of me cs uses of IS ER 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 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 chaiaeler 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 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 truly a subject of much regret hut Dr. S. now assures the public that such a remedy has been invented as will convince the most credulous. The jbrineijides on w hich 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 Q sys tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the stomach, and that only through the same channel roust they expects restoration of jhe natural and healthy functions of the system. This object, Dr. Spobn’s remedy is eminently calculated to attain. 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 professional reputation on this fart. The remedy may be had of apothecaries generally throughout the United States. For sale by ANTONY & HAINES, No. 232 Broad-street, Augusta. mar 26 fIIHE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo -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 it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for rx | 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, while swellings, biles, piles, spider and snake bites, &c. 4cc., immediately yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, it prop erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or break and heal a bile in five allay and perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most desperate casesol white swelling that can be ima gir ed have been destroyed by it in less than two months. In the biles 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 tellers, jjng worms, 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 nt 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.

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 alf 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, who are the most competent judges of 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 kiul 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 ai’ejlhousands of families who declare they re never satisfied 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, IncipientDiarrhcea,Flatulence,Ha'>itu 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 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 request of 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, 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. 1 will not enumerate the afflictions they have relieved us of; but 1 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 w T as brought by it to the very verge of the grave. She w r as 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 effels 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 maiy more of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills 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 from the immense quantity you dispose lof I may mention,however,that notwithstanding I its general use, I never heard an individual complain !of its effects. My residence is 12 miles from Bal ; 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 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 phj sicians, and I am most grateful and happy in being able to add, that I 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 I feel it my duty to apprise you I of the fact, and to request of you to publish this certificate, as 1 am anxious to add my public testi j 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' cidzen, (Mr. Lee,) where!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 I administere 1, 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 I have the pleasure to be able to inform you that j our inestimable medicine is in such great j favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is 1 not one of them who does not use it in his private I practice.

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo | gart, of Providence, R. 1., Dec, 17, 1838. —Peters’ pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi i cine, those effects being produced by the differences j of the quantity taken, and are decidedly supeiior 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 efficient purgative medicine, and produce little, it i any, griping or nausea. I have prescribed them with much success in sick headache and slight bil lious fever. Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams of Burlington, Vt., July 9, 1837.—1 cordially recom mend Peters’ Pills as a mildly effective, and in no case dangerous, family medicine.

Sept. 27,1836, —I neverknev a single patent medicine that 1 could put the least confi dence in but Dr. Peters’ Vegetable Pills, which are really a valuable discovery.

I pre sume that, on an average, I prescribe 100 boxes in a month Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson, N. Y., June 3, 1836. —I was aw are that Dr. Peters was one of the best chemists in the United Stales, and felt assured thatpe would some day (from his intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs and drugs) produce an efficientmedicine,and Imust acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully respond to my expectations.

Extract of a letter from Dr. Scott of Baltimore, Dec. 17,1836. —I am in the daily habit of prescri bing them, (Peters’Pills) and they in nearly all cases answered my purpose.

In common with the generality of really good medicines, this C ordial contains nothing of a ire., enrial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre diems which compose it ; but is, at the same time so simple, yet so t fficacious, 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.
