A Student !—connected with one of our later ary institutions, where this loathsome disease had ap peared, observes, that Dumfries' Itch Ointment extermi nated it, after various other applications had failed to do so, and it had in consequence gained a reputation in that Seminary, and vicinity, as the best remedy known for the Itch! %♦ This preparation, for pleasantness, safely, expedi tion, ease and certainty, is unsurpassed, if equalled. It does not contain the least particle of mercury, or othet dangerous ingredient, and may be applied with perfect safety by pregnant females, or to children at the breast, and it cures, however inveterate, in 55-One Hour’s Application only!—And no danger from taking cold. It is also one of the best applications for a hamor, in form of a ring-worm, known by the name of the Barbers’ 1-rcn, and is excellent for Pimm.es, and diseases of the skin generally.

Radical Cure olTleruia or Rupture, by Dr. Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses. fINHE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug § store of iMessrs. J. J. Robertson it Co., for the treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means of these ustly celebrated instruments. He 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 j lieved. The following is the language of the corn i mittee ol the Philadelphia Medical Society on the j Radical Cure of Hernia. j “ The instruments of Dr. Chase have effected ; the permanent and accurate retention of the in testines in every case of Hernia observed by the i committee, without material inconvenience to the I patient, and often under trials more severe than are usually ventured upon by those who wearothcr trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any other apparatus known to the committee.” “ The committee are induced by the foregoing conclusions to recommend, in strong terms, the in struments of Dr. Chase to the confidence of the profession, as the best known means of me chanical retention in hernia, and as furnishing the highest chances of radical cure.” The following is from the Southern Medical and Southern Journal, published in our own city. “ All must admit of the radical care of hernia, and that Dr. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best yet invented to effect the object.” Persons from a distance can hav*?the instruments applied, upon application at the office, and all ne cessary information given lo 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 someresponsl" ble person, of their pecuniary disability. The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable to every variety of reducible rupture, feb 2U F. M. ROBERTSON, M. D. TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF FAMILIES. DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and dues not belong to the family of quack medicines; for the reason that the component parts are made known to the faculty, or any one else that may wish to know, by any of the agents keeping them for sale. Since this discovery so long and anx iously looked for, some one La 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 sUIk, 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 bolds 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 u?ed them ; as .his is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will doubtless be valuable information to families to know that the Y r ellow 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 found to keep the system in much better condition than the other kind; many will recollect with what trembling anxiety calomel has been given t» children, and how they then wished for a substitute. It has long been known that the Tomato contained ca thartic principles, but not until of late was it ascertained that .aey contaiuea alterative 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 the one thousand and one cure-alls of the day. If you wish to cleanse the system with a mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato Pill, of which a supply, we learn, will soon be in his city.

The extraordinary reputation that Dr, Spohn’s remedy for this distressing eompaint is every day gaining is certainly a matter olmueh astonishment, That so m ich suffering should have existed fur ages without any discovery of an effectual preventivs, or cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. 6. now assures the public that such a remedy has been 1 invented as will convince the most credulous. The principles on which it acts are simple and plain. It is an admitted 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, through the stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expects restoration of the natural and healthy function? ol the system. This object, Dr. Spohn’s remedy is eminently calculated to aitam. 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. Ttie remedy may be had of apothecaries generally throughout the United States.

My present chief object in w riting to you, is to learn who is your authorised agent in this city, for,being ia want of a supply of your oint ment, and the person Mr. 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 J may be imposed on by a counterfeit.

They have passed away from the hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide ol 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 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 propiictor 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 kini 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 aro t 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 Billious Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma, Dropsy, Rheumatism, Enlargement of the Spleen, Piles, Cholic, Female Obstructions, Heartburn, Furred Tongue, Nausea, Distension of the Stomach and Bowels, Incipient Diarrhoea,Flalulence.Hahitu 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 debility. The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No Ca.,March 3d, IS3S: Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, By requestor your agent, Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the almost miraculous effects of your pil>s; andl 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 my family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three years ; and so great are 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 1 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. 1 have a sister who had been for a iong 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 ellbrts 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 1 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 }'ou dispose of. I may mention, however, that notwithstanding its general use, 1 never heard an individual complain of its effects. My residence is 12 miles from BaJ 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* of fifteen months, 1 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 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 to perfect health. Since then, various members of my family have used them with equal success— and consequently I feel it my duty to apprise you of the fact, and to request of you to publish this certificate, as 1 am 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 from the eminent Dr. J. H. 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 ci.izen, (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, 1 had in my pocket a broken box of your pills —four of which 1 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 is at your ser vice—and 1 have the pleasure to be able to inform you that your inestimable medicine is in sucli great favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is not one of them who does not use it in his private practice. Yours most resp’y. March 13, 1839. J. H. IRWIN, M. D. Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo gart, of Providence, R. L, Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’ pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi cine, those effects being produced by the differences of the quantity taken, and are decidedly supetior to Lee’s, Brandi eth’s or Morrison’s Pills.

Stales, that he has purchased, for a very large sura and from ihe in ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of Paris lna rec ipe ard riuhi fur making this astonishing rmdi cine. Until the appearance of ihe “ Lucina Cor dial,’’ (about three years since,) it wasihoughl thaf lhe complaints, w hich it speedily overcomes, were beyond ihe reach of human remedy, as for upwards of a thousand ytars. they had baffled ihe wisdom and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in all parts ot the world. This Cordial, however, to t lie great advantage of the human race,soon pioved itself to be the desideratum so long sought for ; anu * accordingly, notwithstanding tl e brief period of iis existence, it has required a celebrity so great, t het it Is eagerly inquired lor throughout the civilized globe. Dr. Wagnin soon finding that the demand was so vast as to render a supply impossible, dis posed of the recipe and right ol sale, under obliga tions of secrecy, for England, the United Slates, and olhei countries, only preserving France and Italy for himself. Thus has Ihe subscriber pos sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and now hastens to give the inhabitants of his line of agents, the Ixmellisof Ids speculation. “ie Cordial Uc Lucine,” or, in English, “me Lucica Cordial,” is a general invigorator of the human frame! In all»he various cases of languor, lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing reme dy ; as il is equally its province to imparl cheerful, ness and decision to tlie mind, as health and vigor to the body- But the peculiar virtue on which its celebrity is based, is the facility and certainly with which il restores the virile powers when they have been destroyed by disease.iime, recklessness,orany of the numerous causes which terminate in the prostration of those functions. In common with the generality of really good medicines, ibis Cordial contains nothing of a mer curial or deleterious nature, among ihe many ingre dtents which compose it; but is, at ihe same lime, so simple, yet so « fficacious, that while it can reno vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an mfan 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, weeannotenler into an analy sis of thisine limahle Cordial here, or publish many of the documents which have been received, us vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num bers of despairing individuals. But this we cannot forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated that there is scarcely ever, il any such thing at all, as natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of the procrcant functions, in either sex ; and therefore, that those evils arc the effects of artificial causes, ami may be speedily subdued t,nd removed by the use ol “ 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, fur the incon tinence ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there of. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled medicine incases of Chronic Eruptions of iheskm, and in the dropsical affections of the aged.

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels October 3, 1837. To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l an inns gratified at the unprecedented popularity > t yout “Luc na Cordial,” and am able to near testimony to its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently 1 M , a gentleman ol fortune, who had fur several years abandoned himself in the vortex ol dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at length by the utter prostration of ah his virile ener g.es. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity of debility and Usteicssness. for, if an occasional flash ol excitement warmed his system, the reac tion was almost immtdiate, and the result perie.-t prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrum in such cases ; bur, as 1 had anticipated, success; and when 1 saw the “Lucina Cordial 1 advertised, 1 must confess that even the great weight of your name did not give me much hoj* i n it, at least so far as regarded the case in hand. I fell bound to try it,flowev r,and was soon satisfied of its efficacy; for lie-lore a buttle was expended, my patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of his system ; and he is now, having used four bottle.- as w ell&s ever. ’ The number of documents, such as the above which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the first appearance of “ Le < hmlial de Lucine ” would fill a volume as large as the Bible.
