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.

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.

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.

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. M. B. COHEN, No. 275£ Hudson street, N. Y. New York, Aug. 3, 1838. Dear Sir —Having frequently witnessed the ap plication of your Rheumatic Embrocation,and the beneficial effects arising therefrom, it affords me pleasure to slate that I 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.

CINQ, JOURS, OR ' anti-balsamic gonorrhceal solution. 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.” Signed WABINOSHE,his X mark.

There are many 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.

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.

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 “ Specific Ointm nt,” upwards of a hundred of which were written by respectable members of the Medical Faculty.

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 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 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 he 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 arc,thousands of families who declare they re never satisfied until they have a supply always on hand. 1 hey have no rival in curing and preventing Billious Fevers, Ffeverand Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, files, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,Flatulence,Habitu al Costivoness, 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 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, THEODORE JAMES. Augusta, Ga.. Feb 10, 1839. Communication received fro nut he eminent Dr. J. 11. Irwin of Florence, Georgia : Dr. J. P.

By the greatest good for tune, however, I had in my pocket a broken box of your pills —four of which I administere !, with such immediate happy effect that in a few minutes . my patient was at ease, and out of danger.

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 the benefits oi my discovery throughout i He world.

From an immense number of testimonials from J (he regular laculiy, touching the virtues of the Cordial, 1 have in particular selected the following, which may be of uselo you. will also find a number of others of less importance inclosed. This immediate cert ficate is from a body ol' eight oi the ablest medical practitioners in France.

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.
