DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute for|Calomel, and
does not belong to the family of quick medicines;
for the reason that the component jjarts are made

be made from the stalk, a thing n;it more aosuru
than for one to offer meal from the’ corn stalk, to
say nothing of the difficulty of raising the Tomato
so far North.
Dr. Miles, of Cincinnati, is the proprietor of the
Tomato Pills (proper) for the gr>jat benefits of
which, he holds himself bound, andiin honor pledg
ed to prove by their use, that they s!re all that they
profess to be, and will do for otficis what they
have done for such as mav have psed them ; a's
Jus is a vegetable of great use, surd value, it will
doubtless be valuable information’to families to
know that the Yellow are just doubly as valuable
as the Red Tomato, and produces twice as much
of the hapatine, or active principle,and when used
as a daily vegetable will be foibfd to keep the
system in much better condition {than the other
kind ; many will recollect withj yhat trembling
anxiety calomel has been given 1 1 children, and
how they then wished for a substitute. It has
long been know-n that the Tom:; ij) contained ca

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 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 know-n to fail. The following letters
are selected from hundreds of others of a like de
scription. It will be proper that all persons using 1
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 tc the entire society in New York, and
whose opinions and professional judgments are
universally esteemed.

New York, Aug. 3, 1838.
Dear Sir —Having frequently witnessed the ap
plication of your Rheumatic Embrocation, and the

the cure of that painful and distressing complaint,
either in its acute or chronic form.

CINQ JOURS.
OR '
ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
THIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
long known, and used with such unpnrralleled
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. 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 almost
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
31. CheveretjWhen 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. Cheverct, (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.”

ble in its essences. Its first and prominent virtue
is to subdue every vestige of inflamation, and then
acts mildly and copiously as a diuretic ; thereby
holding within itself, every requisite virtue, for
the subduction of this loathsome malady —and ev
ery regular graduate in medicine, will sustain the
assertion, that copious diuresis and reduction of in
flation, are the only two things necessary to effect
ajsound and radical cure
The most peculiar virtue of the “Cinq Jours,”
is in this, that wherever it alone has been used to
affect 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, liumoi
alis, incontinence, and a swarm of other of the
most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis
eases, consequent upon erroneous diagnosis and
treatment of Gonorrhoea.
Those affected are requested to call and try for
themselves. If the prescriptions are well follow
ed and fail to cure, the money will in every case be
returned.

DR. E. SPOIL'S, a German pnytacxan of much
note, naving devoieu ms attention ior some
vears to tne cure and removal of tne ceuses of N E R
VOIIS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis-
Ciction to make known, that he has a remedy which
by removing she causes cures effectually and perma
nently this distressing complaint. 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 fnoy might not only alleviate,
but actually eradicated by. the use if his remedy.
It is the result of scientific research,and is entirely
of a different chaiacler from advertised {latent medi
cines, and is not unpleasant to the taste.
HEADACHE, SICK OR NERVOUS.
The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing compaint is every day
gaining is certainly a matter of much astonishment,
That so much suffering should have existed for ages
without any discovery of an effectual preventive, 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 acmitted 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 (his
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 expects restoration of the natural and
healthy functions of 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
the United States.

The French Pills are applicable in all cases, sot

much obliged to you for furnishing me with a medi<

sent for your Pills I had been troubled with the
disease for nearly 6 months, and had tried a great
many medicines without any effect. During the
first six weeks 1 was under a Physician of this

by him, I left him, and a few days after visited

O. COSBY’S DYSPEPTIC BITTERS.
PERHAPS mere is nothing .•no" -1 c" , c”- , aied to
disgust the public eye than the innumerable
advertisements of nostrums that are constantly ap
pearing in the public prints. All are ready to ex
claim, oar souls are sick, our ears are pained with
every day’s reports of ills and specifics. This state
ot 1 he public mind would seem to forbid any person
of delicate mind from sending forth any new dis
coveries in medicine, to the trial of th- public.—
Still, motives of delicacy should not prevent us from
making known real discoveries, which we are con
fident will benefit our fellow men. Tins latter
consideration has prompted ihe authorol these bit
ters to make them known. He knows they are high
ly efficacious, for he himself, his wife, and many
friends, have given them a thorough trial. He was
himself a confirmed dyspeptic, so much, that even
his recollection was gone. By using theje bitters
he has been restored to health. Mrs. Cosby was
troubled for many years, but was restored to health
by the use of these bitters. This has'been the case
with many of his fri< nds. 31 r. Cosby in sending
forth this advertisement, addresses those who know
him. He has been lor many years a resident ol
Augusta at which place he can at any lime b>
consulted about the bitters. They are good in all
cases of diseases of the digestive organs, the symp
toms of which are indigestion, pain or oppression
in Ihe stomach from food, lossot appetite, flatulen
cy, heart burn, giddiness in the head, pain in the
side, shortness of breath, lassitude, general vyeak

f|NHE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo-
I sition,especially in the Northern States, leaves
the proprietor hut little need to say any thing in its
favor: for it has been generally conceded to it, that
it is beyond all comparison the best remedy* fur ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed the'speed and certainty of its operations,
have tire appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds,
corns, fever sores,chillilains, while swellings, biles,
piles,spider and snake bites, &c. die., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus.il prop
erly applied it will remove an inveterate corn or
break and heal a bile in five days, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperate cases ot 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 in 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 to any medicine heretofore discovered for the
chafed hack and limbs of horses—for tetters, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every extet
nal bodily evil that may fail to the lot of man or
beast.
The proprietor has received <it 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

To Dr. Harrison.
Sir —I useyour Specific Ointment in my practice,
and cordially recommend u as a most efficient reme
dv for Tumors, Ulcers. While Swellings, Scrofula,
Rheumatic Pains, Chapped Face, Lips and Hands:
and for general external complaints. I write this
at the request of your agent here, who furnishes me
with the article, and am pleased to have it in my

Dear Sir—My daughter, a girl of fourteen, was
I sadly afflicted witn the comp aim that physicians
! termed a scald head ; and I feared, independent of
ever> other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend 31r. Perrin, 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 be expected. The
cure was effected iniather less than two months ;
during which lime I used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
during the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever. MARY HOWARD.
I hereby substantiate the truth ot the above
statement. CHRISTOPHER HOWARD.
1 know the above statement to be coircct, and I
can add from experience that “ Harrison’s Specific
Ointment,” is an excellent medicine for external
complaints MATTHEW PERRIN.
Boston, Jan, 7, 1837.
Dear Sir—l 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 lam quite out, and much
in want of it. —You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore I shall only add, I
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 yours,

Dr. Harrison.
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
b(»n long known to me, as 1 have used none other
in my rather extensive practice lor several years, and
if you think it would be to your advantage, I can
furnish you with twenty certificates 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
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 person 31r. Boyle, from whom 1 used
to purchase it, having failed and gone out of busi
ness, I am fearful if 1 purchase at random, that I
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.
Your obedient servant,

Dr. Harrison.
Sir, —1 have no hesitation in stating, in reply to
your note, that your“ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority of the ends for which you re
commend it. f 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 mv universal recipe. I have
also used it on the leg of a boy which 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

i | Pills are no longer amon" 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 that
has ever been prepared fur the relief of suffering
man. They have been introduced wherever it was
found possible to carry them ; and there are but
few towns that do not contain some remarkable
evidences of their good effects. The certificates
that have been presented to the propiietor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of live hundred of
which are from regular practising physicians, who
arc the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this mediciu
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 th in are at
tached to this.
They are in general use as a family medicine
and there aie.lhousands of families who declare they
re never satisfied until they have a supply always
on hand.
They have no rival in curing and preventing
Biliious Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma,
Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen,
Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn,

and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,Flatulence,HaDitu
al Costiveness, 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 debilitv.
The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, b_y a
highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No
Ca.,March 3d, 1S38:
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, By requestor your agent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of youi pißs ; 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 tis thirty boxes in three
years ; and so great a m 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 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 puritier 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 grate.
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
pecting every day to be her last, your pills were
introduced into my family, and so speedy and pal
pable were their effects that three doses visibly re
lieved her, and in less than three months she was
perfectly restored to health. This case, I and all
who were witness of it, (but more especially the
suffering party,) considered to be the next thing to
miraculous; and yet I could mention many more
of an equally desperate nature, in which 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 1 presume
you know from the immense quantity you dispose
of. 1 may mention,however,tiiatnotwithstanding
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
timents of regard, your ob’t servant.
A. G. BANKS.
To Dr. Peters.—Sir—For upward l3 of fifteen
months, I have been cruelly afflicted with Fever
and Ague; and during the time could hnd nothing—
though 1 had applied to every thing that gave me
any thing like permanent relief. At length, hovv
j ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
of our best pliy sicians, and I am most grateful and
happy in being able to add, that I had scarcely used
two boxes when 1 found that they had restored me
to perfect health. Since then, various members of
my family have used them 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.

Communication received from the eminent Dr. J.
11. Irwin of Florence, Georgia :
Dr. J. P. Peters—My Dear Sir—On the night of
the 11th inst., I was called in great haste to the
house of a fellow citizen, (Mr. Lee,) where 1 found
his son laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cynanche Tracnealis (Cronp) and apparently be
yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
tune, however, I had in my pocket a broken box of
your pills—four of which I administered, 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 rs at your ser
vice—and I 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 docs not use it in his private
practice. Yours most resp’y.

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo
j gart, of Providence, R. L, Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’
| pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi-
I cine, those effects being produced by the differences
j of the quantity taken, and are decidedly superior
to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.
Extract from a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor,
Me , Jan. 9, 1839. They are a peculiarly mild, yet
efficient purgative medicine, and produce little, if
any, griping or nausea. I have prescribed them
with much success in sick headache and slight bil
lious fever.
Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams of
Burlington, Vt., July 9, 1837.—1 cordially recom
mend Peters’ Pills as a mildly effective, and in no
case dangerous, family medicine. They are pecu
liarly influential in costiveness and all the usual
diseases of the digestive organs.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Edw. Smith of Mon
treal, U. C., Sept. 27,1836. —1 never knew a single
patent medicine that I could put the least confi
dence in but Dr. Peters’ Vegetable Pills, which are
really a valuable discovery. I have no hesitation
in having it known that I use them extensively in
my practice,for all complaints, (and they are not a
few) which have their source in the impurity of the
blood
Extract of a letter from Dr. Dye of Quebec, L.
C., March 6, 1837,—F0r bilious fevers, sick head
ache, torpidity of the bowels, and enlargement of
the spleen, Peter’s Pills are an excellent medicine.
Extract of a letter from Dr Gurney of New Or
leans, La„Oct. 9, 1837.—1 have received much as
sistance in my practice—especially in jaundice and
yellow fever, from the use of Peters’ Pills. I pre
sume that, on an average, I prescribe 100 boxes in
a mouth
Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson,
N. Y., Juae 3, 1836. —I was aware that Dr. Peters
was one of the best chemists in the United States,
and felt assured that he would some day (from his
intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs
and drugs) produce anefficientmedicine,andlmust
acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully respond
to my expectations. They are indeed a superior
medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist
the Physician, and the Philosopher.
Mecklobukg co. ✓a. Feb. 7. 1387
Having used Dr. Peters’ Pills in my practice for
he last twelvemonths, I take pleasure in giving
my testimony of their good effects in cases of dys
pepsia, sick head-ache, bilious fevers, and other
diseases, produced by inactivity of the liver. They
are a safe and mild aperient, being the best article
of the kind I ever used.
GEORGE C. SCOTT M. D.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Scott of Baltimore,
Dec. 17,1836. —I am in the daily habit of prescri

favor.

which it restores Ihe virile powers when they have

In common with the generality of really rr o od
medicines, thtsf ordial contains nothing of a mer

so simple, yet so t fflcactous, that while it can renol

Extract of e letter from the elebrated Talleyrand,
to Dr. Magnin.
I am now on the wrong side of eighty, and yet 1
could be on my 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 end twenty. I
think you have dtscoveted the “Elixir of Life,’
which the alchymists have been so long in quest of; 1
ant! that (pardon ray officiousness,) you should have
named it accordingly.
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 hear testimony to
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently, j
1 >i , a gentleman oi fortune, who had for I
several years abandoned himsell in the vortex or
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at ?
length hy the utter prostration of all bis virile ener
gies. lie was,indeed, reduced to the last extremity
of debility and tastelessness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost imrmdiate,and the result perlect
prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrums
in such cases; hut, as I had anticipated, without
success ; and when I saw the “ Lucina Cordial”
advertised, I must confess that even the great weight
of your name did not give rue 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 bottle was expended, my
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of
his system; and he is now, having used four bet lies, |
asw'eilis 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 largo as the Bible.
