Radical Cure os Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.

fIIHE subscribe has opened an office, at the Drug
I store of rs. J. J. Robertson &Co., for the
treatment of Herr ;a or Rupture, by means of these
uslly celebrated tstruments. He has nowr used
them for nearly a ear, and, did not delicacy forbid,
he could name seminal persons who have been radi
cally cured , of thi*. truly distressing and dangerous
affection, by the use of these Trusses, besides many
others who are in a fair w: y of being entirely re
lieved. The follo wing is the language of the com
mittee ot the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of 1 ernia.
“ The instrurne ts of Dr. Chase have effected
the permanent an accurate retention of the in
testines in every < ,ise of Hernia observed by the
committee, witho t material inconvenience to the
patient, and often under trials more severe than
are usually v?ntu ?d upon by those who wear other
trusses; trials th: i; would be imprudent with any
other apparatus k: jwn to the committee.”
“ The committe are induced by the foregoing
conclusions to rec amend, in strong terms, the in

gy- A Student!—connected with one of our Liter
arylnsiitutions, where this loathsome disease had ap
peared, observes, that Dumfries' Itch Ointment extermi

so, and it bad in consequence gained a reputation in that
Seminary, and vicinity, as the best remedy known for the
Itch!

tion, ease and certainly ,is unsurpassed, if equalled. It
does not contain the least particle of mercury, or other

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, kc., 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 T '.ich 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 w riting.
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 wirich 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

CINQ JOUES,

ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
I’M'IHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
X long known, and used with such unparralleied
success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeais, ap
pears to need no pane&vric;. 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 Wasenothe, 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 extent the 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 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
which is consumed in preparing the article for im
mediate use.
TRANSLATION.
“I, Wabenoshe, Chief of the nations Ottowa and
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.”

is to subdue every vestige of inflamation, and then

the subduclion of this loathsome malady —and ev

The most peculiar virtue of the “Cinq Jours,”
is in this, that wherever it alone has been used to
alfect a cure, none of those tenacious and disagree -
able consequences which almost invariably results
from the sudden cure of Gonorrhoea, have been
known to obtain such as stricture, hernia, hutnoi

disgust lhe public eye than Ihe innumerable
advertisements oi nostrums that are constantly ap

of the public mind would seem to forbid any person
of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis
coveries in medicine, to the trial of the public.—
Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from
making know n real discoveries, which we are con
fident will benefit our fellow men. This latter
consideration has prompted ihe author of these bit
ters to make them known. He knows they are high
ly efficacious, for he himself, his w ife, and many
friends, h ive given them a thorough trial. He was
himsell a confirmed dyspeptic,so much, that even
his recollection was gone. By using these hitters
he has been restored to health. Mrs. Cosby was
troubled for many years, but vmis restored to health
by the use ol these bitters. This has been the case
with many ol his frif nds. Mr. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addresses those who know
him. Ho has been for many years a resident of
Augusta, at which place he can at any time b«
consulted about the bitters. They are good in all
cases of diseases of the digestive organs, the symp
toms of w hich are indigestion, pain or oppression
in the stomach from food, lossol appetite, flatulen
cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the
side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general weak

many celebrated medicines had failed. In support
of which he refers them to Freeman W. Lacy, she

The French Pills are applicable in all cases, foi
either sex, (warranted free from Mercury,; and pos
sesses great advantages over the Balsams and all
liquid 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,
with little regard to c.iet or exposure.
In the most obstinate stages of the disease, they
are equally certain, having cured many after every
other remedy h’d failed. In short they have been
so universally successful that the proprietor chal

Ur. Valier —Pear Sir: About a month ago, I sent

sent for your Pills I had been troubled with the
disease tor nearly 6 months, and had tried a great
many medicines without any effect. During the

D*fe. £ SPOHN, a tierman physician cf much
note, naving devotee ms attention lor some
years totnecure ana removal ottnect uses of NER
VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the sat ia
fiction 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 s>ick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as
sures them that they are mistaken, ai-d labouring
under distress which tncy might not only alleviate,
but actually eradicated by the us- >f his remedy.
It is the result of scientific research,and is entirely
of a different chaiacter from advertised patent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation lhat Dr. Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That so m tch suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual preventiv ;, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S.
now assures the public lhat such a remedy has been
invented as will convince the most credulous. The
principles on w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a milted 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 this
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 ihe 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. Spohn pledges his
prrfessionai reputation on this fact. Tne remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United States.

rpHE great celebrityof this unrivalled ('ompo-
I 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 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, w hile swellings, biles,
piles,spider and snake bites, Ac. Ac., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, if 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 in two weeks, and the most
desperate cases of white swelling that can be ima
git ed, have been destroyed by it in less than two
months. In ihe 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
perva ting the s>stem It is likewise greatly supe
rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the
chafed back and limbs of horses —for tetters, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every extei
nal bodily evil lhat may fall to the lot of man or
beast.
The proprietor has received it least a thousand
certificates, and other documents, in favor of his

which were written by respectable members of the

Dear Sir—My daughter,a girl of tounetn, was
sadly afflicted wim the comp amt that physicians
termed a scald head ; and 1 leared, independent of
ever\ other evil, that she would be bald in conse- j
quenco By the recommendation, however, of the |
Reverend Mr. Perrin, 1 applied your ointment to the
afflicted part; and 1 thunk God 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 i alher less than two months;
during which time I us<d fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
duting the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

I hereby substantiate the truth ol the above

Dear Sir—l have to request of you to forward
me, two hundred boxes of Ointment, by the most
immediate conveyance, and w ilhout regard to the
expense of carriage, as 1 am quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add,
mat further « xperience has increased tm enthusi
asm and established me in the opinion, that it is su -
■perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.

Dr. Harrison.
Sir —The virtues of your Specific Ointment,have I
been long known to me,as I have used none other I
in my rather extensive practice forseveral years, and
if y<Ju think it would be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures which it lias effected under my ow n imme
diate inspection : the last being one of a severe
and apparently p-rpetual ulcer, in the back of a
poor woman, Mary Baxter who resides in 216 Di
vision street, which it completely healed in twenty
one days. 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 the pereou Mr. Boyle,from whom I used
to purchase it, having tailed and gone out of busi
ness, I am fearful if 1 purchase at random, that I
may he imposed on by a counterfeit.
Your obedient servant,

Dr Harrison.
Sir, —i have no hesitation in stating, in 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 had no experience,
fn sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, w hit
lows, piles, Ac., it is in» universal recipe. I have
also used it on the leg of a boy w hich had been
bitten by an adder, and (be 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

' # 'HESE Pills are no longer among those of doubt-
A 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 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, why
are the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by Hus 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 are,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

and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,Flatulence,Habitu
al Costiveness, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or Sallow

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
family' 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 al ten dollars abox than have my house
without them. 1 will not enumerate the 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 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, y r our pills were
introduced into my family, and so speedy and pal
pable were their effccls that three doses visibly re
lieved her, and in less than three months she was
perfectly'restored to health. This case, I and all
w'ho w'ere witness of it, (but more especially' the
suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to
miraculous; and yet J could mention many' more
of an equally' desperate nature, in which your pills
w'ere 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
-1 eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. 1 am, with sen-
I timeots 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 physicians, and I am most grateful and
happy in being able to add, that I had scarcely used
two boxes when I found that they' had restored me
j to perfect health. Since then, various members of
' my family have used them with equal success —
I and consequently I feel it my duty to apprise you
1 of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
I certificate, as I am anxious to add rny public testi
i mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your mi<
i rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,

le CORDIAL DE L! CINE.
OU L’KI.JXIR HE L’AMOUR.
rpHE subscriber has the pleasure ol announcing
JL to ihe citizens of the U. States, that he has
purchased, fur a very large sum and from I lie in
ventor, ■he celebrated Dr. Magnin, of Paris hia
recipe ar d ri-ffii for making tins astonishing medi
cine Until Ihe appearance of Ihe “ Lucina Cor
dial,’ (about three years since,) it was thought that
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 of the most profound physicians in
all parts of the world. This Cordial, however, to
the great advantage of the human race,soon proved
itseil to be the desideratum so long sought for ; and
accordingly, notv\ ithsiandirg tl e brief peri d of its
existence, it has required a celebrity so great, thst
it is eagerly inquired for throughout the civilized
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the demand
was so vast as o render a supply impossible, dis
posed of the recipe and right ol sale, under obliga
lions of secrecy, fer England, the United States,
and othei countries, only preserving France arid
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber pos
sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and now
hastens togivethc inhabitants of his line of agents,
the benefits of his speculation.
“Le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “rho
Lucira Cordial,” is a general invigorator of the
human frame ! In all ihe various Cases of languor,
lassitude, amt debilitation ; it is an unfailing reme
dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful,
ness and decision to ihe mind, as health and vigor
to the body. Bui the peculiar virtue on which its
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which if restores the virile powers when they have
been deatroved by dis< ase.lime, recklessness,or any
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, thisC o-.dial contains nothing of a mer
curial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre
dients w'hich compose it ; but is, al the same tune,
so simple, yet so t fficacious, that while it can reno
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an mfan
may use it,not only with impunity, but w ith ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such,
that, notwithstanding the bem fits which would be
sure to result from it, we cannot enter into an analy
sis ol this incc lfinable 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. 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 fund ions, in either sex ; and therefore,
that the seevils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued «nd removed by the
use ol “ I.e Cordial cie Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also in indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and the Fluor Albus,obstructed, diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon
linenct ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
of. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medif ine in cases of Chronic Eruptions olTheskin,
and in the dropsical affections of the aged.
Most imp riant to the American Public.
The United States proprietor of the celebrated
“ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
befixo the community, the billowing certificate,
wtieh he has received from llie inventor, the illus
trious Dr. Magnin. of Paris
“ T hi v is to certily,lhat I have disposed of the
recipe for making the “ Luc.na Cordial,” or
► “ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it
throughout the t mted States of North America,
to John Winters liolderw e11,.'1 D. My reasons
for so doing is, that the demands to me forthe above
Cordial, of which lam the inventor, are so nume

your great discovery, and have assembled lor ihe
purpose of bearing evidence to the lads, and lend

“Lucina Cordial” is in our opinion, an infallible

Extract ofer letter from the elebrated Talleyrand,
to Dr. Magoin.
1 am now on the wrong side of eighty, and yet 1
could be on rny honor or oath if necessary, that a
bottle or two of your Cordial of Love has made me
feel as vigorous as a boy of five and twenty. I
think you have discoveied the “Fflixtr of Life,’
which the alchy mists have been so long in quest of;
am. that (pardon my officiousness,; you should have
named it accordingly,
f From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am mos
gratified at the unprecedented popularity of your
“Lucina Cordial,” and am able to bear testimony to
its surprising virtue. I had a patient recently,
1 M . a gentleman ol fortune, who had lor
several years abandoned himself in the vortex oi
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener
gies . He was, indeed, reduced to the last extremily
of debility and i.istelessness. for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the result perfect
prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrums
in such ca?es ; but, as I had anticipated, without
success; and when i saw the “Lucina Cordial”
advertised, 1 must confess that even the great weight
of your name did net give me much hope in it, at
least so far as regarded the case in hand. I felt
bound to try it,however,and was soon satisfied of
its efficacy; for before a buttle was expended, my
patient gaveevidence of the returning elasticity of
his system ; and he is now, having Used four bottles,
as well is ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the
first appearance of “ Le Cordial de Lucine,” would
fill a volume as large as the Bible.
