Robertson & Co,, for the treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means: of these ustly celebrated instruments. He has Go w used them for nearly a year, and, did not delicacy forbid, he could name several p .rsons who have be jin radi cally cured , of this truly distressing and dangerous I allection, 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 fie com mittee ol the Philadelphia Medical Societjl on the Radical Cure of Hernia. I “ The instruments of Dr. Chase have Reflected the permanent and accurate retention olsthe in testines in every case of Hernia observed* by the committee, without material incoavenicm e to the patient, and often under trials more severe than are usually ventured upon by those who wqar other trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any other apparatus known to the committee.’ 4 “ The committee are induced by the foregoing conclusions to recommend, in strong 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 as furnishing the highest chances of radical cure.” The following is from the Southern Medical and Southern Journal, published in our own city. “ All must admit of the radical cure of hernia, and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best yet invented to elfcct the object.” Personsfrom a distance can have the instruments applied, upon application at the office, and all ne cessary information given to enable them to adjus it themselves. The poor, who are laboring under this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous ly upon presenting a certificate,from some responsi’ file person, of their pecuniary disability. The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable to every variety of reducible rupture. ' feb 20 F. M. ROBERTSON, M. D. TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF FAMILIES. ‘ DR. MILES’ COMPOUND ENTRANT OF TOMATO —a substitute for CalomFl, and does not belong to the family of quack medicines; for the reason that the component parts are made known to the faculty, or any one else that may wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them for sale. Since this discovery so long a>=d anx iously looked for, some one in almost the extreme North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to be made from the stalk, a thing not more -tosuiu than for one to olfer meal from the corn stalk, to say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato so far North. Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietoviof the Tomato Pills (proper) for the great benefits of which, he holds himself bound, and in honor pledg ed to prove by their use, that they are a!! tb;ft they profess to be, and will do for othcis win \ they have done for such as mav have used them; as v.his is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will doubtless be valuable information to families to know that the Yellow are just doubly as valuable as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much of the hapatine, or active principle,and when used as a daily vegetable will be found to keep the system in much better condition than tin;; other kind; many will recollect with what trembling anxiety calomel has been given to children, and how they then wished for a substitute, it ha„ long been known that the Tomato contained ca thartic principles, but not until of late was it ascertained that they contained alterative aud diu retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that they know what it i< Were it a patent mystery, they would be bound to reject the medicine, ;jis they justly do the one thousand and one cure-all*; ;of the day.

Below is a copy of the translation as near as it can f be anglisized of the deed given by Wabcnoshe, to M.

The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’e remedy for this distressing compaint is every day gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment. That so much suffering should have existed for ages without any discovery of an effectual prevenliv or cure, is truly a subject of much regret hut Dr. 6. now assures the public that such a remedy has been invented as will com ince the most credulous. The •.rinciples on which 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 ortian, the stomach, is the first cause, that the sys tem has become vitiated or debilnaied, ihiough the stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expect s restoration of the natural and healthy functions of I lie system. This object, Dr. Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to a r tain. The truth of this position cannot be controverted, and the sooner sufferers wiih ihe headache become convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his pn fessionai reputation on this fact.

Indeed the’speed and certainly of its operations, have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds, corns, fever sores, chilblains, while swellings, biles, piles, spider and snake bites, <kc. &c., immediately yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, if prop erly applied it will remove en inveterate corn or break and heal a bile in live nays, will allay and perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most desperale cases of w bite 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 time, its powersof attraction are so wonderful that th>-y will at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from perva ling the system. It is likewise greatly supe rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the chafed back and limbs of horses—lor tetters, ring worms, chapped lq s—and in short, for every extet nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or beast.

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 tha* has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering man. They have been introduced wherever it was found possible to cairy them ; and there are but few towns that do not contain some remarkable evidences of their good effects. The certificates that have teen presented to the propiietor exceed twenty thousand! upwards of live 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 oi the kin 1 has ever re ceived testimonials of greater value thin are at tached to this. They arc in general use as a family medicine and there aie.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 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, 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 debility. 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; 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 thiee years ; and so great are the benefits we have receiv ed from them in general, that L would rather pur chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house without them. I will not enumerate Ihe 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 pc ! 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 dibits 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 I fortune, however, as she was in this situation, cx- I pect ng every day to be her last, j our pills were introduced into my family, and so speedy and pal j pabie were their effects that three doses visibly re j lievod 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 were equally successful in rescuing the patients 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 Hut this 1 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 etfccts. My residence is 12 miles from Bai- I oigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen -5 timents of regard, your ob’t servant. A. G. BANKS. To Dr. Peters, —Sir—For upward 0 of fifteen I months, 1 have been cruelly afflicted with Fever and Ague; and during the time could find nothing — though 1 had applied to every thing that gave rne any thing like permanent relief. At length, how ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one of our best phv sicians, and I am most grateful and i happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used two boxes when 1 found that they had restored me I to perfect health. Since then, various members of : my family have used tbern with equal success — : and consequently i feel it my duty to apprise jou : 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 im j 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 1 found his son laboring under a most alarming attack of Cynanche Tracncalis (Croup) and apparently be yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for -1 tune, however, 1 had in my pocket a broken box of | your pills —four of which I administere i, 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 1 believe there is not one of them who does not use it in his private I practice. Yours most resp’y. I March 13, 1839. J. H. IRWIN, M. D. | Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo i gait, of Providence, R.

Thus has the subscriber j H ; S . j-essed himself of the invaluable secret; end now hastens to give the inhabitants of his line cl agents the benefits of his speculation. s 1 “le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, «* lne Lucira ( ordial,” is a general invigorator of the human frame ! In all the various cases of languor lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unlaihri" reme dy ; as it is equally ns province to impart cheerful ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor to the body But the peculiar virtue on which'us celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with which it restores the virile powers when they have been rest roved by disease, lime, recklessness, oraay of the numerous causes which terminate in the prostration of those fund ions. In common with the generality of really good medicines, this! ordial coum.ns nothing of a met curial or deleterious nature, among ihe many ingre dients wiiiedt compose it; hut is, at die same imu so simple, yet so fficacious, that while it can reno vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an mfan may use H,not only with impunity, but w ith ad vantage. The usages of society are unfortunately such, that, notwithstanding die benefits vvhn h would be sure to result from it, we cannot enter into an analy sis of this ine timable Cordial here, or publish many of the document s u hi.h have been received, as vouchers of die blessings n lias conferred on nuni- I hers-of despairing individuals. But inis weeannot j forbear remarking—dial n lias been demonstrated that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all, as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of the procreant Junctions, in either sex ; and therefore, that these evils arc the effects of artificial causes, and may be speedily subdued c.nd removed by the use ol *’ Le Cordial (ie Lucine.” The Lucina Cordial is also rn indubitable cure for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albas, obstructed, diffi cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon tinence ot Urine,or the involuntary discharge there of.

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels October 3, 1837. To Dr. Magnin : —My dear friend—l am rnos gratified at the unprecedented popularity of your “Luc na Cordial,” and am able to near testimony lo ils surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently, 1 M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had lor several years abandoned himself in the vortex or dissipation ; and wag only reclaimed from it at length by the utter prostration of all tits virile ener gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the hut extremity of debility and tistelessness. lor, if an occasional flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac tion was almost inum diute,and the result period prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrums in such cases ; bill, as 1 had anticipated, without success; ami when I saw the “Lucina Coidial” advertised, 1 must confess that even the great weight of your name did not give me much hope in it, at least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1 felt bound lo try it, how ever, and was soon satisfied of ils efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ot his system ; and lie is now, having used four bottler', as w ell is ever. The number of documents, such as the above which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since ihe first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine.” would fill a volume as large as the Bible.
