Radical Ciure ol Henna or itupti re, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ ' russes.
rWNHE subscriber has opened an office at the Drug
I store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson i Co., for the
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by mi ns of these
ustly celebrated instruments. He ha now used
them for nearly a year, and, did not del :acy forbid,
he could name several persons who hav been radi
cally cured, of this truly distressing an dangerous
affection, by the use of these Trusses, b sides many
others who are in a fairway of being ntirely re
lieved. The following is the language if the com
mittee ol the Philadelphia Medical Sot eiy on the
Radical Cure of Hernia.
“ The instruments of Dr. Chase ha e effected
the permanent and accurate retentioi of the in
testines in every case of Hernia obsei ed by the
committee, without material inconven ane to the
patient, and often under tria's more evere than
are usually ventured upon by t. ose wh wearother
trusses; trials that would be imprudt >t with any
other apparatus known to the commitl e.”
“ The committee are induced by tl a foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in strong t rms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the c< ifidence of
the profession, as the best known m< ms of me
chanical retention in hernia, and as f nishingthe
highest chances of radical cure.”
The following is from the Southern vledical and
Southern Journal, published in cur o\v 1 city.
“ All must admit of the radical cu: • of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are dccid dly the best
yet invented to effect the object.”
Persons from a distance can have the nstruments
applied, upon application at the office, and all ne
cessary information given to enable th m to adjus

this afflicting complaint,will be tieatei gratuitous

The instruments are of all sizes, am applicable

DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXT IACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute for C; iomel, and
does not belong to the family of quad medicines;
for the reason that the component par ? are made
known to the faculty, or any one el.- that may
wish to know, by any of the agents k< >ping them
for sale. Since this discovery so lo! g and anx
iously looked for, some one in almost t e extreme
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, p rportingto
be made from the stalk, a thing not r ore aosuru
than for one to offer meal from the co 1 stalk, to
cay nothing of the difficulty of raising le Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the propi etor of the
Tomato Pills (proper) for the great enefits of
which, he holds himself bound, and in h nor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they are : 1 that they
profess to be, and will do for others what they
have done for such as mav ha ,? e uset them *as
vhis is a vegetable of great use, and v» ue, it will
doubtless be valuable information to amilies to
know that the Yellow are just doubly s valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twi ?as much
of the hapatine, or active principle, and when used
as a daily vegetable will be found t. keep the
system in much better condition tha the other
kind ; many will recollect with wh; tie ibling
anxiety calomel has been given to c ildren, and
how they then wished for a substiti e. It has
long been known that the Tomato ci Rained ca
thartic principles, but not until of te was it
ascertained that they contained alterat ve and diu
retic properties. The Faculty embra e and use
the preparation most cheerfully, for th< reason that
they know what it is Were it a pate t mystery,
they would be bound to reject the medi< ne, as they
justly do the one thousand and one cur -ails of the
day. If you wish to cleanse the sys ?m with t
mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use 1 ie Tomato
Pill, of which a supply, we learn, wil soon be in

RHEUMATISM.
COHEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.— f
Dr. M. B. Cohen, proprietor of the universally s
celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Intla-
matory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago, Pains and {
Swellings in the Joints, &c., known as Cohen’s
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
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 1
standing, and of an obstinate nature, that it has (
never been known to fail. The following letters 1
are selected from hundreds of others of a like de- 1
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.
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
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.

Dear Sir—Having frequently witnessed the ap

Warranted to cure in Five Days.
ri>HIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
X long known, and used with such unparralleled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 yoais, 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 Wabekothe, or Great Moon, whilst
he, w r ith 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 a'most
incredible extent the children of this warlike piince,
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
w r ith, 1 may say, religious conlidence 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 manipulatory process of manufacture.
Few white men would credit the length of time
whicli 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 man}' 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.”

Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from

DR. E. SPOHN, a German nnyania:. of much

years to tne cure and removal of tns cs uses of N ER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has thesaiis
faclion 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 Bick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as
sures them that they are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which tney might not only alleviate,
but actually eradicated by the use >f his remedy.
It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely
of a different character 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 m ich suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual preventive, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S.
now assorts 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, whether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache,’ arises prim
arily from the stomach—those who I hink they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th a sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of ihc natural and
healthy functions ol the system. This object. Dr.
Spohn’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. pledges his
professional reputation on this fact. The remedy
may lie had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United Stales.

PXNHE great celebrityof this unrivalled Compo-
J_ silion,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 ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed and certainty of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds,
corns,fever sores,chilblains, white swellings, biles,
piles, spider and snake bites, <fec. &c., 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, w ill allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer m two weeks, and the .most
desperate cases ol \v lute swelling that can be ima
gined, have been destroyed by it in less than two
months. In the bites of poisonous reptiles its effi
cacy is truly surprising, and if applied in lime, its
powers of attraction are so wonderful that th;y will
at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from
perva nng the systt-ra. Ii is likewise greatly supe
rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the
chafed back and limbs of horses—lor totters, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter
nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or
beast.

which were w ritten by respectable members of the

Dear Sir—My daughter,a girl of lounet n, was
sadly afflicted vvitn thecomp anil that physicians I
termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, independent of j
evert olher evil, that she would be bald in conse- j
quenco. By the recommendation, however, of the i
Reverend Mr. Fernn, I applied your ointment to the |
afflicted part; and 1 thank Goa that my child is !
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is
getting her hair as fast as can be expected. The :
cure was effected in rather leas than two months; 1
during which time I used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment ; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
dunng the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

I hereby substantiate the truth ot the above

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 our, and much
in want of it.—You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore 1 shall only add,
that further « xperience has increased my enthusi
asm and established me in the opinion, that it is su
perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.
Respectfully yours,

Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as I tiave used none other
in my rather extensive practice tor several years, and
il 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 back of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di
vision street, wlnch it completely healed in twenty
ouedays. 3ly 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 1 fie person Mr. Boyle, from whom 1 used
to purchase it, having failed and gofte out of busi
ness, 1 am fearful if I purchase ai random, that 1
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.
Y’our obedient servant,

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

f | dIESE Pills are no longer among those of cloubt-
JH 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 lor 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 1 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 tills medicia
been the subject of editorial comment, in variou
newspapers and journals; and it may w’ilh truth be
asserted,that no medicine of the kin 1 has ever re
ceived testimonials of greater value thin are at
tached to this.
They are in general use as a family medicine
and there aie,lhousands 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
1 and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,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
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 1 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 a tc 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 alllictions
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
w r as 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
| pect ngevery day to be her last, your pills were
j 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 ail
I 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
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 Irom 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 12 miles from Ral
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 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
I of our best physicians, and I am most grateful and
happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used
j two boxes when 1 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
of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
certificate, as 1 am anxious to add ray 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.,l was called in great haste to the
house of a fellow ci.izen, (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 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.

of a thousand yrars. they had ha filed
and ingenuity of ihemost profound Dhvsii.i a „ •

itself to be the desideratum so long sought f or • ,
accordingly, notwithstandingrl e brief peri doF
existence, it has required a celebrity s 0 great tH*
it is eagerly inquired for throughout the civile!
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the demand
was so vast as w render a supply impossible j,
posed of the recipe and right ol sale, undero’blw'*
lions of secrecy, for England, the United Stan
and other countries, only preserving France arid
Italy for himself, Thus has the subscriber n cs
sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and ric\'
hastens to give the inhabitants of his lineolVeiiK
the benefits of hts speculation. 3 ‘ M
“Le Cordial !)e Lucine,” or, in English “ (n
Lucira Cordial,” is a general invigorator of the
human frame ! In all the various cases of languor
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing remt’
dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful
ness and decision to the mind, as health and vi mr
to the body But the peculiar virtue on which °ji 8
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they have
betri destroyed by disease,time,recklessness,oranv
of the numerous causes which terminate in th e
prostration of iliose functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this! ordial contains nothing of a me,,
cnrial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre
dients which compose it ; but is, at the same time
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can rem.’
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an inlati
may use it.not only 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 enter into an analy
sis of this ine-tiraable Cordial here, or publish many
of the documents which have been received, as
vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num
bers of despairing individuals. Cut this vve cannot
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, it any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
the procreant functions,in eithersex ; and therefore,
that those evils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily’subdued and removed by the
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also sn indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor A lons, obstructed, dtHi
cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon
tinence ol 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 dropsical affections of the aged.
Most important to the American Public.
The United Slates proprietor of the celebrated
“ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the follow ing certificate,
which he has received trom the inventor, ihe illus
trious Dr. Magnin,of Paris .-
“ Thii is to certify, that I have disposed of the
recipe for making the “ Lucina Cordial,” or
“ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it
throughout the t nited Stans of North America,
to John Winters Holderwel 1, M. D. My reasons
for so doing is, that the demands to me forthe above
Cordial, of which I am the inventor, are so nume
rous, l hat 1 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

1 am now on the wrong side of eighty, and yet 1
could be on my honor or oath if necessary, that a
botlleor two of your Cordial of Love has made roe
feel as vigorous as a boy of five and twenty. I
think you have discovered the “Elixir of Lile,’
which the alchy mists have been so longin quest at ;
am: that (pardon ray offictuusness,; you should have
named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—i am mos
gratified at the unprecedented popularity ot your
“Lucina Cordial,” and am able to hear testimony to
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently,
1 M , a gentleman ot fortune, who had lor
several years abandoned himself in the vortex ot
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of all his virileener
g.es. Ile was, indeed, reduced to the last sxire/ndy
of debility and t istelessness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immt dime, and the result perteot
prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrums
in such cases ; but, as I had anticipated, without
success ; and when 1 saw the “ Lucina Cordial ’
advertised, I must confess thaf even the great weight
ot your name did not give me much hope in it, a £
least so far as regarded the case in Hand. I fell
bound to try it, however,and was soon satisfied of
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, m?
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ol
his system ; and be is now, having used four bcUkb
as well ts ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, sinceti‘«
first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” would
