the system of all vitiated, corrupt and acral humors,

sexes and of all ages, without i:ije least danger of
unpleasant consequences. In |iiie,the public are

this most distressing malady of ;ll|ie human family.
The proprietors solemnly pledge; themselves that
they do not contain a particle lof minerals in any
shape or form, but are composed entirely of simple
vegetable substances, which either separately or
combined, and without regard jto sox or age, arc
perfectly harmless in their effecjts upon the human
system. j

Radical Cure of Hernia or R nipture, by Dr.

fJIHE subscriber has opened an Jlhcc, at the Drug
I store of Messrs. J. J. Rober son &Co., for the
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, 1 y means of these
ustly celebrated instruments. le| has now used
them for nearly a year, and, didn )I|delicacy forbid,
he could name several persons wl oshave been radi
cally cured, of this truly distress! iff and dangerous
affection, by the use of these Tru? ses,besides many
others whe are in a fairway of uling entirely re
lieved. The following is the lan plage of the com
mittee ol the Philadelphia Medical Society on the
Radical Cure of Hernia. j
“ The instruments of Dr. Cha ;ej have effected
the permanent and accurate rot ijtion of the in
testines in every case of Hernia observed by the
committee, without material incc nvenience to the
patient, and often under trials i u're severe than
arc usually ventured upon by thos Iwho wearother
trusses; trials that would be im ujudent with any
other apparatus known to the conirjiittee.”
“ The committee arc induced l}y| the foregoing
conclusions to recommend, in stnjng terms, the in
struments of Dr. Chase to thp j confidence of
the profession, as the best knowiji {means of me
chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the
highest chances of radical cure.” | i
The following is from the Soutiujrn Medical and
Southern Journal, published in otiriown city,
“ All must admit of the radical hure of hernia,
and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are t cjridedly the best
yet invented to effect the object.” j
Persons from a distance can have the instruments
applied, upon application at the oltjce, and all ne
cessary information given to enab c= them to adjus

this afflicting complaint, will be ti E jited gratuitous

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 respectfully to refer
all persons suffering from these disea es to the
thousands of cures that his preparation lias 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 xvell 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.

CINQ JOURS.
OR '
ANTi-BALSAMJC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Wai'ravted to cure in Five Days.
ri’tHlS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
X long known, and used with such impartallcled
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 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. Chevevcs,from the celebrated
Indian Chief WAunNOTiic, 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 almost
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 tiie 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, 1 may say, religious confidence on its cura
ble powers.
Belo w 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.”

Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from

consideration has prompted the authorof ihese bit

Besides this important advantage, thev never

HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing eompaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That so m tch suffering should have existed for ages
withoutany discovery of an effectual preventive, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret hut 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 milted fact that this complaint, w hether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach—those who think they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that th 0 sys

stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects 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
professional reputation on this fact. The remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout

rgIHE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo

the proprietor but little need to say any thing tn its
favor: for it has been genera lly conceded to it, that
it is beyond all comparison tha best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed the'speed and certainty of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, while swellings, biles,
piles,spider and snake bites, &c. etc., 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 flays, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer m two weeks, and the most
desperate casesof white swelling that can be ima
gined, have been destroyed by it in less than two
months. In the bites of poisonous reptiles its effi
cacy is truly surprising, and if applied iti time, its
powers of attraction are so wonderful that they will
at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from
pervading the system. It is likewise greatly supe
rior lo 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 that may fall lo the lot of man or
beast.
The proprietor has received at least a thousand
certificates, and other documents, in favor of his

which were written by respectable members of the

Sir —I useyour Specific Ointment in my practice,
and cordially recommend it as a most efficient reme
dy for Tumors, Ulcers, White Swellings, Scrofula,
Rheumatic Pains, Chapped Face, Lips and Hands:
and for general external complamts. I write this
at the request of your agent here, w ho furnishes me
w ith the article, and am pleased to have it in my
power to award honor to merit.

Dear Sir—3ly daughter,a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted witn thecomp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, independent of
ever} other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Fernn, 1 applied your ointment to the
afflicted part; and 1 thank God that my child is
now- entirely recovered from the disease, and is
getting her hair as fast as can he expected. The
cure was effected in rather less than two months;
during which time 1 ust d fiv dollars worth ofoint
ment; 1 had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
duiing the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

I hereby substantiate the truth ol the above
statement.

1 know the above statement to be correct, and I
can add from experience that “ Harrison’s Specific
Ointment,” is an excellent medicine for external

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 lam quite out, and much
in want of it.—You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add,
that further experience has increased my enthusi
asm and established me in the opinion, that it is su
perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.
Respectfully vours,

Dr. Harrison.
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me, as I have used none other
in my rather extensive practice forseveral years, and
if you think it would be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates of important
cures which 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. 31 y present chief object in writing to
you, is to learn wiio is your authorised agent in this
city, for, being in want of a supply of your oint
ment, and Ihe person Mr. Boyle,from whom I used
to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi
ness, I am fearful if Ipurchaseat random, that 1
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.
Your obedient servant,

Dr Harrison.
Sir, —1 have no hesitation in stating, m reply to
your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal lo the majority of 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 I have had no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
lows, piles,&c., it is ra v universal recipe. I have
also used it on the leg of a boy w hich had been
bitten by an adder, and the 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

“ Harrison’s Specific Ointment” is, in my opinion,

general ou'ward complaints. I speak of its merits
from an experience of four years.”

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

asserted,that no medicine of the kinl has ever re

The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No
Ca.,March 3d,1538:
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, —By request of your agent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of your piPs ; 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 I and nry
family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
years; and so great a*e the benefits we have receiv
ed from them in general, that I would rather pur
chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house
without them. I will not enumerate the afflictions
they have relieved us of; but 1 can assure you they
were many, and of very opposite natures, which
has fully proved to me that your medicine is asim
, pie purifier of the system, and therefore equally
the enemy of every disease. I will mention one
case. 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
-1 ings were fruitless ; and accordingly, we all consid
ered her immediate death as inevitable. By good
| fortune, however, as she was in this situation, cx
‘ pecting every day to be her last, your pills wore
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 more especially the
suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to
I miraculous; and yet 1 could mention many more
. of an equally’ desperate nature, in which your pills
p were equally successful in rescuing the patients
, from the jaws of death. Need 1 add that the popu
larity of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in
this section of the country ? But this I presume
i 3’ou 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. I am, with sen
: : trments of regard, your oh’t servant.
5 A. G. BANKS.
To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upward- of fifteen
1 months, I have been cruelly 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
j ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
: i of our best physicians, and 1 am most grateful and
f I happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used
. 1 two boxes when 1 found that they had restored me
» ! to perfect health, Since then, various members of
} my family have used them with equal success—
i and consequently 1 feel it my duty to apprise you
; of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
s certificate, as lam anxious to add my public testi
-1 mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your im
• rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,

Communication received from the eminent Dr. J.
11. Irwin of Florence, Georgia :
■ Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear Sir—On tfie night of
the 11th hast., I was called in great haste to the
house of a fel.ow ci.izen, (Mr. Lee.) where 1 found
his son laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cynanche Tracnealis (Croup) and apparently be
yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
tune, however, 1 had in my pocket a broken box of
your pills —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 with my name is at your ser
vice—and 1 have the pleasure to be able to inform
you that your inestimable medicine is in such great
favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is
not one of them who does not use it in his private

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo

to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.

was one of the best chemists in the United States
and felt assured that he would some day (fiom his

acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully respond
to my expectations. They are indeed a superior
medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist

, L.E CORDIAL DE LUCINE
OU L’ELIXIR DE L’AMOUR.
rrSIIE subscriber has the pleasure ol announcing
£ lo ihe citizens of the U.-States, that he
purchased, fora very large sum and from t| le
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of p ar j s
recipe ar d right for making tin* astonishing m (f | *
cine. Until the appearance of the“ Lucina Cor"
dial,'’ (about three years since,) it was thought ihai"
the complaints,which it speedily overcomes, won
beyond the reach of human remedy, as formivar,' 0
of a thousand years, they had baffled the vvisdoiT
and ingenuity of the most profound physicians m*
all pans of the world. This Cordial, however
the great advantage of the human race, goon nrov *1
itself to be the desideratum so long sought for ■ and
accordingly, notwithstanding tl e brief peti dol ls
existence, it has required a celebrity so grei*, t t
it is eagerly inquired for throughout ihe civiliz' d
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the demand
was so vast as to render a supply impossible, de
posed of the recipe and right ol aale, underohlin
lions of secrecy, Iwr England, ihe United State's
and other countries,only preserving France and*
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber
sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and Ilovv
hastens to give the inhabitants of his line of agents
the benefits of his speculation.
“le Cordial l)e l.ucine,” or, in English, “tne
Lucira Cordial,” is a general invigorator of tlie
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 But the peculiar virtue on which & its
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they haie
bem destroyed by disease.time, recklessness,ora: r
of the numerous causes which terminate in i, a
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really gord
medicines, this t ordial contains nothing of a iuei
rnrial or deleterious nature, among the many ingre
dients which compose it ; but is, at the 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 with ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such,
that, notwithstanding the benefits which would be
sure to result from it, weeannotenter into an analy
sis oi this ine t finable Cordial here, or publish many
of the documents which have been received, as
vouchers of the blessings n lias conferred on num
bers of despairing individuals. Rut this we cannot
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, if any.such thing at all,
as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
ibe procreantfunclions, in either sex ; and therefore,
that thoseevils are the effects of arlificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued «nd removed by the
use ot “ Le 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 incon
tinence ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
of. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine incases of Chronic Eruptions of theskin,
and ,n the dropsical affections of the aged.
Most important to the American Public.
The United States proprietor of the celebrated
! “ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the following certificate,
which he has received from the inventor, the illiw
inous Dr. Magnin, of Paris •
** This is to certify,that 1 have disposed of the
recipe for miking ihe “Luc.na Cordial,” or
“ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it
throughout the f nilt-d Siatr s of North America,
to John Winters Holderwell, M. I). 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 Italy alone; and have therefore dispo
sed of the privileges vouchsafed in this, and oilier
certificates ol a like nature in order to generalise
the benefits of my discovery throughout the world.
Given under my hand at Paris,on this nineteen h

lam now on the wrong side of eighty,and yet 1
could be on my honor or oath if necessary, that a

which the alchy mists have been so long in quest ol;
and that (pardon my officio Listless,; you should have

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
“Luc na Cordial,” and am able to ;-iear testimony to
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently,
1 M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had lor
several years abandoned himself in the vortex or
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener
gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last exircnuiy
of debility and ustelessness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate,and the result perle< t
prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrums
in such cases ; but, as I had anticipated, without
success; and when 1 saw the “ Lucuia Cordial”
advertised, 1 must confess that even the great weight
of your name did not gi\e me much hope in it, at
least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1 felt
bound lo try it, how eve r, and was soon satisfied of
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, mv
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of
his system ; and he is now, h-tving used four bullies,
aswellts ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since ilie
first appearance of “Le Cordial de Lucine,” would
fill a volume as large as the Bible.
