MACON, i > THOMAS STOCKS, J janß j trwtf Radical Cure ol Henna or Rupture, by Dr* Chase’s Improved ,Sur?reoris : l Trasses. f|NH E subscriber has opened an offiic, at the Drug store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson &Cc., for the treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by ibeans of these ustly celebrated instruments. He jins now used them for nearly a year, and, didnotdjf iicacy forbid, he could name several persons who hi :efaecn 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 ot the Philadelphia Medical Society on the Radrcal Cure of Hernia. “ The instruments of Dr. Chase 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 more severe than arc usually ventured upon by those vilio wearother trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any other apparatus known to the committee.” “ The committee are induced by he 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 fol.owing is from the Southern Medical and Southern Journal, published '-ur can city. “All must admit of the radical cure of hernia, and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best yet invented to effect the object.” Pei sons from a distance can have the instruments applied, upon application at the office’, and ail ne cessary information given to enable them to adjus it themselves. The poor, who e "laboring under this afflicting complaint, will be treated gratuitous ly upon presenting a certificate,from someresponsi* ble person, of their pecuniary disability. The instruments are ©f ail sizes, and applicable to every variety of reducible rupture. feb 20 F. M. ROBERTSON, M. D. TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF FA JULIES* DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and docs not belong to the family of quac k mcdicLies; 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 Jo..g and anx iously looked for, some one in almos t the extreme North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting!© be made from the stalk, a thing not more aosuru than for one to offer meal from the corn stalk, to say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato so far North. Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of 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 ail that they profess to be, and will do for otheis what they have done for such as mav have used them; as this 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 io keep the system in much better condition than the other kind; many will recollect with what trembling anxiety calomel has been given to children, and how they then wished for a substitute. It has long been known that the Tomato contained ca thartic principles, but not until of late was it ascertained that they contained alterative and diu retic properties. The Faculty embrace and use the preparation most cheerfully, for the reason that they know what it is Were it a patent mystery, they would be bound to reject the medicine, as they justly do the one thousand and one cj,: re-alls of the day. If you wish to cleanse the si. stem with a mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, us« the Tomato Pill, of which a supply, we leam, will soon be in this city.

COHEN’S RHEUMATIC EMBROCATION.— Dr. M. B. Cohen, proprietor of the universally celebrated lotion for the cure of Chronic and Infla matory Rheumatism. Sprains, Lumbago. Pains and Swellings in the Joints, fcic., 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 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. 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 thc 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. M. B. COHEN, No. 2702 Hudson street,N. Y. New York, Aug. 3, 1838. Dear Sir —Having frequently witnessed tlie ap plication of your Rheumatic Embrocation,and ti e beneficial effects arising therefrom, it affords me pleasure to state thatl 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, WILLIAM F PIATT, M.

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.

CZHCt JOURS, OH ' ANTI-BALSSAMJC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION, Warranted to cure in Five Day*. 'ItHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so 1. long known, and used with such unpanalleled success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeais, ap peal's 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 follewed 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 Cheveqes, from the celebrated Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Kur 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 almost incredible extent the childien 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 “art 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, I 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 11. Cheveret, when lie purchased the original recipe, and had twice assisted the Chief himself through tiie 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 rny white friend M. Cheverct, (for he has done many good things for me and my people.) I i give to him my greatest cure for the bad sickness which ray 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 X mark.

J The extraordinary reputation ihat Dr. Spohn’s remedy for this distressing coropaint 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 preventiv j, or cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. d. , now assures the public that such a remedy has been invented as will convince the most credulous. The 1 • rinciples on which it acts are simple and plain. Itis 1 ana milted fact that this complaint, whether called ( Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim- 1 arily from the stomach—those who think they have the Nervous Headache may rest assured I bat this ! organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that fin sys tem lias become viifated or debilitated, ilnough the < stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expect s resloration ol ihe natural arid 1 healthy functions ol the system. This object, Dr. < Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to a'tain. 1 The truth of this position cannot be controverted, 1 and the sooner sufferers with ihe headache become J convinced of it, the sooner will their suffering end ! : in restoration of health, Dr. Spohn pledges his ; ; prrfessionai reputation on this fact.

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! upwards of live hundred of which are from regular practising physicians, who are the competent judge*of their merits. Often Ircßo the cures performed by this mediciu 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 satisued until they have a supply always on hand. They have no rival in curing and preventing Bibious Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, Furred Tongus, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bowels, incipient Diarrhoea, Flatulence, Haoitu al Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or Sallow Complexion, and in cases of torpor of the bowels, w here a cathartic or aperient is needed They are exceedingly mild in their operation, producing neither nausea, griping no: debility. The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No Ca ,March 3d, 1S38: Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, —By requestof your agent, Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the almost miraculous effects of your pit's ; and i w ould 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 the benefits w e have receiv ed from them in general, that I would rather pur chase them at ten dollars a box than have ray house without them. 1 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. T will mention one ease. 1 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 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 ng 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 move 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 yourpills were equally successful in rescuing the patients from the j t ws of death. Need 1 add that the popu larity of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in this section of the country ? But this 1 presume you know from the immense quantity you dispose of I ma}' mention, however, that notwithstanding its general use, I never heard an individual complain of its effects. M} - residence is 12 miles from Bat cigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, witlr sen timents of regard, your ob ? t servant. A. G. BANKS, To Dr. Peters, —Sir—For upward" of fifteen months, I have been cruelly afflicted with Fever and Ague; and during the time could hnd 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 ph\ sicians, and 1 am most grateful and happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used two boxes when 1 found that they had restored me to perfect health. Since then, various members of my family have used them witii equal success— and consequently I feel it my duty to apprise 3ou of the fact, and to request of >‘ou to publish this certificate, as lam anxious to add my public testi mony to the almost miraculous virtues of 3’our un rivalled medicine, llespectfully yours, THEUDrtJiE JAMES. Augusta, Ga., Feb 10,1839. Communication received from the eminent Dr. J. 11. Irwin of Florence, Georgia : Dr. J. F. Peters—My Dear Sir —On the night of the 11th hist., I was called in great haste to the house of a fellow cLizen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found his 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 yourpills —four of which 1 administers 1, with such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes my patient was at ease, and out of danger. This case, in connection witlr my name is at your ser vice—and 1 have the pleasure to be able to inform 3,'ou that 3 our 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 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 cine, those effects being produced by tire differences of the quantity taken, and are decidedly superior to Lee’s, iirandieth’s or Morrison’s Pills.

Sta*rs, that he has purchased, fora vary large sum and from the in ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, ol Paris his recipe ard ri.-ht for ranking tins astonishing nudi cme. Until the appearance of the ■* Lncina Cor dial,’ (about three years since,) ii was thought lhal the com plpmls, which it speedily overcomes, were beyond 1 he reach ol human remedy as for upwards of a ihousand ytars. they had baffled the wisdom end ingenuity of the most profound physicians in ali pans of the world. This Cordial, hovvc ver, to the great advantage of the human race,soon proved itse.f to be the desideratum so long sought for ; and accordingly, notwithstanding tl e briet peri d of Its ' existence, it has required a celebrity so great, thst It is eagerly inquired (or throughout the civilized globe. Dr Magnin soon finding lhal Ihe demand was so vast na o render a supply impossible, dis posed of Ihe recipe and rich: of sale, under obliga tions of secrecy, for England, the United States, and othei countries,only preserving France and Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber pos sessed himself of the invaluable secret ; and now hastens togtvelhe inhabitants of his line of agents, the benefits of his speculation. “he cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “tne Lucira Cordial,” i*a general invtgorator of th e human frame ! In all the various cases of languor, lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing reme dy; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful, ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor to the body Hut the peculiar virtue on which its celebrity is based, is the lacilnyand certainly w ith which it restores the virile powers when they have been <lesi.roved by dist ast.time, recklessness.orany of the numerous causes which terminate in the prostration of those functions. In common with the generality of really good medicines, thisf. ordial conta.ns nothing of a mer curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre dients which compose it; but is, at the same lime, so simple, yet so < fficacioua, that while it can reno vate t lie prosira'.ed energies of a giant, an inl’an may use it,not only with impunity, but with ad vantage. The usages of society are unfortunately such, that, notwithstanding the hem fits which would be sure to result trom it, we cannot enter imo an analy sis of this ine limable Cordial here, or publish many of the documents which have been received, as vouchers of the blessings 11 has conferred on num bers of despairing individuals. Butt is wc cannot forbear remarking—lhal 11 has been demonstrated that there is scarcely ever, il any such thing at all, as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of the procreont fund ions, in eilhersex ; and therefore, that these evils aie the effects ol artificial causes, and may be speedily suodued uiid removed by the use ol “ Le Cordial tie Lucine.” The Lucina Cordial is also in mduhnable cure for the Gleet, and :he Fluor Albus, obstructed, dilfi cuk, or painful Menstruation; also, for the incon tinence ol Urine,or lire involuntary discharge there ol. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled raedir ine in ca>e* of Chronic Eruptions oilheskiu, and -nthe dropsical affectionsul the aged. Most imp rtant to the American Public. The United States proprietor of the celebrated “ Litema Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay , before the community, the following certificate, which he has received trom the inventor, the illus trious Dr. Magnin , of Paris : “ Ihi s is to certify, that i have disposed of the recipe fur making the Luc na Cordial,” or I *• Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it I throughout me ’• ruled Btafi sos IS..rlh America, ' to John Winters Holderwell, M D. My reasons .. for so doing is, lhal the demands t > rne for the above Cordial, ol v\ hich 1 am tire inventor, are so nume rous, 1 hat I am unable to supply ali the orders from France and hah alone; and have therefore dispo sed of the privileges vouchsafed •nihis, and oilier certificates of a like nature in order to generalise the benefits of my discovery throughout the world.

He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity I ol debility and 1 rstelessness, for, if an occasional flash of excitement wanned his system, the reac- I lion was almost iramtdiate, and the resuff pertect L prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrums « in such cases; but, as I had anticipated, without B success; and when 1 saw the “Lucina Cordial” p advertised, 1 must confess lhal even the great weight | of your name did not give me much hope in 11, at K least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1 felt K bound to try it,howev.r,and was soon satisfied of B its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my || patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ol B his system: and be is now, having used four butties, K as w ell is ever.
