GALLIGHAM’S V£S;ETABLE
FEVER AND ACitjE PILLS.
A certain and lasting curs\fyr that disease.
THE subscribers having bec/i appointed special
agents for the sa!e of Ga- ighan’s Fever and
Ague .ills, is prepared to furnish planters and
country traders with supplies of said article on
terms equally as favorable as ti ey can be obtained
of the proprietors j
Gallighan’s Pills, though useful for all diseases
which originate in a superabundant collection of
bile in the stomach, are more particularly intended
for Fever and Ague. In the firssj place they cleanse,
•Lengthen and give tone to the; stomach and bow
els, and create a new and heal : -liy action through
out the system. They prod tc«|a natural and per
manent appetite; they defend he system against
new or subsequent attacks "of the disease; they
assist the various operations of ij.atute by cleansing
the system of all vitiated, corrupt and acrid humors,
and thus invigoi ate and reanimate the w hole frame.
Possessing a purgative quality, Jhey cannot remain
in the bowels to produce sueff other diseases as
often follow the injudicious treatment of the fever
and ague. They are composed intirely of vegeta
ble matter, and may be taken ly persons of both
sexes and of all ages, without |iie least danger of
unpleasant consequences. In me, the public are
assured that Gallighan’s Pills pissess those inesti
mable virtues, which are requisite not only to ar
rest, but to eradicate and destroy the l-ast seeds of
this most distressing malady ofjihe human family.
The proprietors solemnly pledge themselves that
they do not contain a partible *1 minerals in any
shape or form, but are composed entirely of simple
vegetable substances, which either separately or
combined, and without regard to sex or age, are
perfectly harmless in their effects upon the human
system.

Radical Cure ol Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
FWIHE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
j store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson &Co., for the
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by- means of these
ustly celebrated instruments. !le has now used
them for nearly a year, and, did not delicacy forbid,
he could name several persons who have 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 ot the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical 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 mbre severe than
are usually ventured upon bj r those 'who wear other
trasses; trials that would be imprudent with any
other apparatus known to the comihittee.”
“ The committee are induced by the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in strong terms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to the j confidence of
the profession, as the best known'means of me
chanical retention in hernia, and ait furnishing the
highest chances of radical cure.” •
The following is from the Southern Medical and
Southern Journal, published a 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 effect the object.”
Persons from 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 respoosi*
ble person, of their pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture,

DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute for ‘Calomel, and
does not belong to the family of qutjck medicines;
for the reason that the component [darts are made
known to the faculty, or any one r ise that may
wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them
for sale. Since this discovery *0 long and 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 aosuiu
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 all that they
profess to be, and will do for otheis what they
have done for such as mav have use'* then.; as
vhis is a vegetable of great use, and vaiue, it will
doubtless be valuable information to families to
know that the Yellow are just doubly -s valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much
of the hapatine, or active principle.abd when used
as a daily vegetable will be foiindi|to> keep the
system in muci better condition t>lan the other
kind; many will recollect with w' ? |ut trembling
anxiety calomel has been given to Children, and
how they then wished for a substitute. It has
long been known that the Tomato ilontained ca
thartic principles, but not until oflllate was it
ascertained that they contained altert'-tive 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 tire one thousand and one cil e-ails cf the
day. It ou wish to cleanse the system with a
mild, <a.e anti-bilious medicine, use*the Tomato

RHEUMATISM.
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, &c., known as Cohen’s
Rheumatic Embrocation, begs respectfullj- 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 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.
TRIKIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
A long known, and used with such unpanalleied
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 in variably 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 al! 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
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
success throughout his two tribes. Its known and
valued virtues have already enriched to an ahnost
incredible extentthe 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
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 anglisizcd 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
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.”

Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from

G) CHALLENGE. The genuine
French Ptl's against all the QUACK
NOBTRMUS of the age—for the cure of
******
The French Pills are applicable in all cases, foi
either sex, (warranted true from Mercury,; and pos
sesses great advantages over the Balsams and all
hqtnd medicines, by being entirely free from smell,
and consequently do not effect the breath, thereby
preventing the possibility of discovery while using
them.
Besides this important advantage, thev never
disagree with the stomach, and in the first stages of
the disease they usually effect a cure in a few days,
wi r .h little regard to c.iet or exposure.
In the roost obstinate stages of the disease, they
are equally ceriain, having cured many after every
other remedy failed. In short they have been
so universally successiul that the proprietor dial
lenges any one to produce a remedy of equal cer
tainty, under a forfeiture of Three Hundred Dollars

many medicines without any effect. During 5 the

Not knowing what to resort to next,and seeing vou

VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has thesaiis-
Siction to make known, tha; he has a remedy which
by removing the causes cures effectually and perma

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 tnoy might not only alleviate,
but actually eradicated by the us“ if his remedy.
It is 1 he result of scientific research, and is entirely
of a different character from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SILK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy lor 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 effect ual preventiv ;, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S.
now' assures 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 mitted fact that this complaint, whether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach —those who think they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that ihis
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th* sys
tem has become vitiated or debilitated, thiough the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expect s restoration ol the natural and
healihy functions of tlie 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. Spohn pledges his
professional reputation on this fact. Tne remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.

TITHE great celehrityof this unrivalled Cornpo-
M sit ion, especially in the Northern States, leaves
the proprietor but little need to say any thing in its
favor; for it lias been generally conceded to ir,that
it is beyond all comparison ths best remedy for ex
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, w hile swellings, biles,
piles,spider and snake bites, Ac. Ac., 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 nays, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer m two weeks, and the most
desperate cases ol white swelling that can be ima
gii ed. 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
powers of attraction are so wonderful that they will
at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from
pervanng the system. It is likewise greatly supe
rior to any medicine heretofore discovered fur the
chafed back and limbs of horses—for tetters, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exlet
nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or
beast.
The proprietor lias received at least a thousand
certificates, and other documents, in favor of his

which were written by respectable members of the
Medical Faculty.

termed a scab! head ; and 1 feared, independent ol
every other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recummendaiion, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, I applied your ointment 10 the
afflicted part; and 1 thank God that my child is
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is
getting her ban as fast as can be expected The
cure was effected in i ather less than two months;
during which time I us< d fiv dollars worth of oinl
ment; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
during the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

I hereby substantiate the truth ol the above

Dear Sir —I have to request of yon 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 out, and much
in want of it.—You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add,
that further i xperience has increased mv enthusi

perior to any remedy extant fur external diseases.

Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as 1 have used none other
in my rather extensive practice lorseveral years, and
it y<;u think it wouid be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certilicaies of important
cures w hich 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, which it completely healed in twenty
onedays. 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 Use person Mr. Boyle, from whom I used
to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi
ness, I am fearful if Ipnrchaseai random, that I
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.

Sir, —1 have no hesitation in stating, in reply to
your note, that your “ Sj»ecific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority ol the ends for which you re
commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by the word
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters where 1 have had no experience,
in sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
lows, piles, Ac., it is m» universal recipe. I have
also used it on the leg of a boy w hich had been
bitten by an adder, and ihe 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

hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of

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
familj r have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
years ; and so great arc the benefits we have receiv
ed from them in general, that I would rather pur
chase them at ten dollars abox than have my house
without them. I will not enumerate the afflictions
they have relieved us of; but I can assure you they
w r eie 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 gra\e.
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 pillo 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 w’ere witness of it, (but more especialty 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 from 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. 1 am, with sen
i trments of regard, your ob’t servant.
A. G. BANKS.
To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upward* of fifteen
months, I have been ciuelly afflicted with Fever
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 phj sicians, and 1 am most grateful and
happy in being able to add, that I had scarcely used
two boxes when 1 found that lhej r had restored me
to perfect health. Since then, various members of
my family have used them with equal success—
and consequently 1 feel it my duty to apprise you
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 un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,

OU L’ELI XIR DE L’AMOUR.
rpilE subscriber has the pleasure ot announcing
JL to ihe citizens of the U. Stales, that he has
purchased, fora very large sum and front the in
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, ol Paris hia
recipe ar d right for making this astonishing lTudi
cine. Until the appearance of the “ Luoina Cor
dial, (about three years since,) it was thought thil
the complaints,which it speedily overcomes, were
beyond i he reach of human remedy as for upwards
of a thousand ytnrs. they had baffled the wisdom
and ingenuity ot the most profound physicians m
all pans ol the world. This Cordial, however, to
the great advantage of the human race,soon proved
itself to be the desideratum so long sought for; and
accordingly, notw ithstandtrg tl e brief peri d of its
existence, it has required a celebrity so great, thet
it la eagerly inquired for throughout the civilized
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the demand
was so vast as to render a supply impossible, do
posed of the recipe and right ol sale, under obliga
tions of secrecy, t»r 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 to give the inhabitants of his line of agents,
the benefits of his speculation.
“Le Cordial ])e Lucine,” or, in English, “the
Lucina Cordial,” is a general invigorator of the
human frame! In all t lie various teases of languor,
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing reme
dy ; as it is equally ils province to impart cheerful,
ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor
to the body Bui the peculiar virtue on which its
celebrity is based, is the facilit y and eertaiuty with
which it restores the virile powers when they have
been destroved by disc ase. time, recklessness,or any
of the numerous causes which terminate ih the
prostration of ihose functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, thisk oidial contains nothing of a mer
curial or deleterious nature, among ihe many ingre
dients which compose it; but is, at Ihe same time,
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can reno
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an infan
may use it,not only with impunity, but w ith ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such,
that, notwithstanding ihe ben< fits which would be
sure to result from it, we cannot enter into an analy
sis ol this ine timable Cordial here,or publish many
ol the documents which have been received, as
vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num
bers of despairing individuals. But this vve cannot
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that t here is scarcely ever, it any such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
the procreant functions,in either sex ; ami therefore,
that th< sc evils ate the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued u nd removed by me
use ol “ Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also tn indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus, obstructed, diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incun
linenct ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
ol. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medif ine in cases of Chronic Eruptions oftheskiu,
and in the dropsical affections of the aged.
Most imp rtant to the American Public.
The United States proprietor of the celebrated
“ Lucma Cordial,” or *• Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the following certificate,
wl ich he has received from ilie inventor, the illus
trious Dr. Magnin. of Paris
“ Tim is to certify,that I have disposed of the
recipe for making ihe “ Luc.na Cordial,” or
* “ Elixir of Love,” and also ihe right to sell it
throughout the I nited States of North America,
to John Winters Holderweil, M D. My reasons
for so doing is, that the demands to me for the above
Cordial, of which I am the inventor, are so nume
rous, t hat i am unable to supply all the orders from
France and Is al\ alone; and have therefore dispo
sed of the privileges vouchsafed in this, and other
certificates ol a like milure in order to generalise

Extract oUr letter from the elebraled Talleyrand,
to Dr. Magnin.
1 am now on the wrong side of eighty, and yet 1
could be on my honor or oath if necessary, that a
boltleortwo of your Cordial of Love has maueine
feel as vigorous as a boy of five and twenty. I
think you have discoveied the “Filtxir of Life,’
which the alchy mists have been so long in quest ol;
am that (pardon my officiousness,) you should have
named it accordingly.
J From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am mo*
gratified at tlie unprecedented popularity of your
“Lucina Cordial,” and am able to hear leslimony to
its surprising virtue, i had a patient recently,
1 M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had for
several years abandoned himself in the vortex ot
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener
gies. He was,indeed,reduced lo the last extremity
of debility and ustelessness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost iranu dune, and the resuit perlect
prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrums
in such ca.'es ; but, as I had anticipated, wthout
success ; and when i saw ihe “ Lucma Cordial”
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 feit
bound to try it,howevr,and was soon satisfied of
it s efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of
his system ; and he is now, having u»cd four bottles,
as well is ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the
firs; appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine,” would
fill a volume as large as the Bible.
