Radical Cure ol’Herniaor H ipCire, by Dr.

I'T’l HE, subscriber has opened an dice, av the Drug
X store of iVlessrs. J. J. Robcn on &Co., for the
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, 1 means of these
ustly celebrated instruments, h has now used
them for nearly a year, and, didm delicacy forbid,
he could name several persons wh have been radi
cally cured, of this truly distressii and dangerous
affection, by the use of these Truss s,besides many
others who are in a fairway of L ing entirely re
lieved. The following is the lang age of the com
mittee ol the Philadelphia ‘Medic: Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia.
“ The instruments of Dr. Chas have effected
the permanent and accurate rett ition of the in
testines in every case of Hernia bserved by the
committee, without material inco venience to the
patient, and often under trials r jre severe than
are usually ventured upon by thos who wear other
trusses; trials that would be im :udent with any
other apparatus known to the cor uittee.”
“ The committee are induced \ T the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in str ig terms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to tl confidence of
the profession, as the best know means of me
chanical retention in hernia, and is furnishing the
highest chances of radical cure.”
The following is from the Sout ern Medical and
Southern Journal, published in oi • own city.
“ All must admit of the radicr cure of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are i scidedly the best
yet invented to effect the object.”
Persons from a distance can hav the instruments
applied, upon application at the o ice, and all ne
cessary information given to enab ? them to adjus
it themselves. The poor, who a ; laboring under
this afflicting complaint,will be t ated gratuitous
ly upon presenting a certificate,fr< n some responsi*

The instruments are of all size and applicable
to every variety of reducible nipt re.

jgp A Student I—connected with one of our Liter
ary Institutions, where this loathsome disease had ap
peared, observes, that Dumfries'’ Itch Ointment extermi

so, and it had in consequence gained a reputation in that
Seminary, and vicinity, as the best remedy known for the
Itch!
* % * This preparation, for pleasantness, safety, expedi
tion, ease an 1 certainly, is unsurpassed, if equalled. It
does not contain the least particle of mercury, or outer
dangerous ingredient, and may be applied with perfect

RHEUMATISM.

| celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla-
S matory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and
| 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
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
j are selected from hundreds of others of a like de
| scription. It will be proper that all persons using
j he Liniment, see that it is accompanied with the
1 signature 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-
I try, Nostrums and Lotions and Liniments, and
I “Infallible Rheumatic Mixtures,” all of which be
ing a compound of ignorant quacks, are calculated,
j more or less, to injure the system rather than re
i move any complaint. In proof of the estimation
I in which the Embrocation is held by respectable
j men in tbe medical profession, as well as by' the
thousands of persons who have been effectua ly
j cured of Rheumatism, the subscriber has subjoined
letters from a few who are well and popularly
1 known to the entire society' in New York, and
j whose opinions and professional judgments are
I universally esteemed.

CINQ JOURS,
OR
ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHCEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
rjnHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
JL 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
1 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
' 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
1 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
j 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 “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
>l. Cheveret, when 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 Ottowaand
Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which I
have for my white friend M. Cheveret, (for he has
done many good tilings 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.”

ble in its essences. Its first and prominent virtue
is to subdue every vestige of inflamation, and then
acts mildly and copiously as a diuretic ; therebj
holding within itself, every requisite virtue, for
the subduclion of this loathsome malady —and ev
ery regular graduate in medicine, will sustain the
assertion, that copious diuresis and reduction of in
flation, are the only two things necessary to effect
a sound and radical cure
The most peculiar virtue of the “Cinq Jours,”
is in this, that wherever it alone has been used to
affect a cure, none of those tenacious and disagree
able consequences which almost invariably results
from the sudden Cure of Gonorrhoea, have been
known to obtain such as stricture, hernia, liumoi
alis, incontinence, and a swarm of other of the
most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis
eases, consequent upon erroneous diagnosis and
treatment of Gonorrhoea.

DR. E. SPOILS, a German physician oi much

years to tne core ana removal of tne ct uses of NER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis
faction to make known, thai 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 ’.hey are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which tuey 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 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 eompaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That so m ich suffering should have existed forages
without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regrer but Dr. S.
now assures the public that such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. The
principles o%tvhifth it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a milted 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” 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. This object. Dr.
Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to aitain. j
The truth of this position cannot be controverted, j
and the sooner sufferers wiili ihe 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

i great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo
| silion,especially in the Northern States, leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its
favor: for if 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 and certainty of its operations,
have l be appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wotiuds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, w hile swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, &c. <fec., 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 days, will allay and
perfecily cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most |
desperale cases of white swelling that can be ima- i
gii ed. have been destroyed by it in less than two i
months. In the 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
al once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from
pervading the system. It is likewise greatly supe- j
rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the i
| chafed back and limbs of horses —for tetters, ring 1
i worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every
I rial bodily evil that may fall io the lot of man or

dy for Tumors, Ulcers White Swellings, Scrofula,
Rheumatic Bains, Chapped Face, Lips and Hands: i
and for general external complamts. I write this
at the request of your agent here, who furnishes rue

Dear Sir—My daughter,a girl of fourteen, was
j sadly afflicted witn thecomp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and J teared, independent of
every other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the |
Reverend Mr. Fernn, I applied your ointment to the
afflicted part; and 1 thank God that my child is
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is
gelling her hair as fast as can be expected. The
cure was effected in rather less than two months ;
during which time 1 ns- d fiv dollars worth ofoint
! merit; I bad spent upwards ot a hundred dollars
dining the previous three years, without any benefit
! whatever.
MARY HOWARD.
I hereby substantiate the truth ot the above

1 know the abo\e statement to be coircct, and I
can add from experience that “ Harrison’s Specific
Ointment,” is an excellent medicine for external

Dear Sir—l have to request of you to forward
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most
immediate conveyance, and a ithout regard to the
expense of carriage, as lam quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know my estimation of your
| valuable discovery, and therefore J shall only add,
I mat further experience has increased m> enthusi
asm and established me in theopinion, that it is su
perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.

Dr. Harrison.
Sir Ihe virtues of your Specific Ointment, have 1
been long known to me,as 1 have used none other
hi my rather extensive practice for several years, ami
if you think it would be to your advantage, I 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 perpetual ulcer, in the hack of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di
vision street, which it completely healed in twenty
one days. My present chief object in writing to
you, is to learn who is your authorised agent in this
city, for,being in want of a supply of your oint
ment, and the person Mr. Boyle,from whom I used
to pur- base it, having failed and gone out of busi
ness, 1 am fearful if I purchase at random, that 1
may he imposed on by a counterfeit.

A 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
hiah 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 i
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 meiits.
Often have the cures performed by this medicm
been the subject of editorial comment, in variou
newspapers and journals; and it may with truth 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 are,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,
: Drops}', Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen,
I Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn,

and Bowels, IncipientDiarrhoea,Flalulence,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
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 piPs; andl 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 l and my
family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
years ; and so great ai*e the benefits we have receiv
ed from them in general, that I 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 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 grave.
She was attended by the most eminent physicians
| that money could procure; but all their efforts to
i 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
i suffering part}',) considered to be the next thing to j
i miraculous; and yet 1 could mention many more
|of an equally desperate nature, in which your pills j
i were equally successful in rescuing the patients i
j from the jaws of death. Need 1 add that the popu
larity of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in
i this section of the country ? But this 1 presume
j you know from the immense quantity you dispose
of I may mention, however, that notwithstanding
i its general use, I never heard an Individual complain
I of its ellects. My residence is 12 miles from Bat
i eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am,withsen
j timents of regard, your ob’t servant.
A. G. BANKS.
To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upward s of fifteen
i months, I have been cruelly afflicted with Fever
j and Ague; and during the time could find nothing —
though 1 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 ph} sicians, and I am most grateful and
happy in being able to add, that I had scarcely used
two boxes when 1 found that they had restored me
j to perfect health. Since tiien, various members of
my family have used them with equal success —
and consequently I 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.

Communication received from the eminent Dr. J.
H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia:
Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear Sir—On the night of
the llthinst., I was called in great haste to the
house of a fellow ciazen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found
Ins son laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cynanche Tracnealis (Cronp) 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
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 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. L, Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’
