satisfaction. , . _
A Student I—connected with one of our Liter
ary Institutions, where this loathsome disease had ap
peared, observes, that Dumfries ’ Itch Ointment extermi

so, and it had in consequence gained a reputation in that
Seminary, and vicinity, as the best remedy known for the
JUk!
This preparation, for pleasantness, safety, expedi
tion, ease and certainty, is unsurpassed, if equalled. It

and it cures, however inveterate, in

aC The LIFE MEDICINES recommend themselves
in diseases ot every form and description. Their
first operation is to loosen from the coats ot the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities and
crudities con tantly settling around them ; and to
remove the hardened feces which collect
convoiusions ot the smallest intestines. Oiher
medicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
kCu h collected masses behind as to produce habitu
al costiveness with ell ilstrain of evils, or in a sud
den diarrhoea, with its eminent dangers. This tact
is well known to all regular anatomists, who ex
amine the human bowels after death ; and heme
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack medicines —or medicines prepared and her
alded to the public bv ignorant pi rsons. r J he se
cond effect ol the Life Medicines is lo cleanse the
kidneys and the bladder, and by this means, the
liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which
entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary
organs. The blood, which takes its red color from
the agenev of the liver the lungs before it
passes into ihe heart, being thus purified by them
and nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely through the veins, renews every
part of the system, and triumpltantly mounts the
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Life Medicines have been
thoroughly attested, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation ot

which afflict the human frame. In fever and
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been
most eminently successful; so much so that in the
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni'
versally prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of Ids patient is
to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according to tlie directions. It is not by a news
paper notice, or any thipg that he himself mayday
in their favor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is
alone by the result of a fair trial.

Radical Cure ol Henna or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
riNHE 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. He has now used
them for nearly a year, and, didnot 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 of 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 more severe than
are usually ventured upon by those who wearother
trusses; trials that would be imprudent with any
other apparatus known to the committee.”
“ The committee are induced by the foregoing
j 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 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 somerespons£
ble person, of their pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture.

TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF
FAMILIES.
DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO —a substitute for Calomel, and
does 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 in almost the extreme
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting tc
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 arc ail that they
profess to be, and will do for olhcis what they
have done for such as mav have used them ; as
rtiis is a vegetable of great use, and 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 found to keep the
system in much better condition than the other
kind; many will recollect with what trembling
anxiety calomel has been given to 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 tt
aicertaineJ that .ney contained 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, w r e learn, will soon be ir.

CINQ JOURS,
OR
ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHOEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
f|AHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
E long known, and used with such unparrallelod
success in the Canadas for the last 30 years, 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 hich has attended it through all of its
trying c cumstances, namely, “five days,”—the
same su cess 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 VVabesothe, or Great Moon, whilst
he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
siness in the North-west with the Indians. —
Wabcnoshe prized highly and use it with invariable
success throughout his two tribes. Its known and
valued virtues have already enriched to an a'most
incredible estentthe 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 “ait 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 mar iputatory 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.”

The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s
remedy for this distressing corapaint 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 effectual preventive, or
cure, is truly a subject of much regret but Dr. S.
now assures the public that suck 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, whether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach—those who think they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured t fiat I his
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, that tire sys

rnHE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo
j sit ion, especially in the Northern States, leaves
the proprietor but 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 for ex
ternal complaints that tias ever been discovered.
Indeed lhe(speed and certainly of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles : as ulcers, wounds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, while swellings, biles,
piles,spider and snake bites, Ac. Ac., 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 days, will allay and
perfectly cure an ulcer in two weeks, and the most
desperate cases ol white swelling that can be ima
gined. have been destroyed by it m 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 back and limbs of horses —for tetters, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, tor every exter
nal bodily evil that 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 fourtem, was
sadly afflicted vvitn the comp aim that physicians
termed a scald head ; and 1 feared, indepe .dent of
every other evil, that she would be bald in conse
quence- By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, 1 applied your ointincut to the
afflicted part; and 1 thank God that my child is
now entirely recovered from the disease, and is
getting her hair os fast as can be expected The
cure was effected in lather less than two months;
during whtcu time 1 used fiv dollars worth ofoinl
menl; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
duting the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever. MARY HOWARD.
I hereby substantiate the truth o! the above
statement' CHRISTOPHER HOWARD.
1 know the abote statement to be correct, ami 1
can add from experience that “ Harrison’s Specific
Ointment,” is an excellent medicine fur external
complaints MATTHEW PERRIN.

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 I am quite oul, and much
in want oi it. —You know my estimation of your
valuable discovery, and therefore i shall only add,
mat further t xpenence has increased my enthusi
asm and established me in the opinion, that it is su
perior to any remedy extant for external diseases.

iSir—Thevirtuesof your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as 1 have used none other
ni my rather extensive practice forseveral years,ami j
il y*>u think it would be to your advantage, 1 can
furnish you w ith twenty certificates ot important
cures w hich u has effected under my own imme
diate inspection: the last being one of a severe
and apparently pt-rpeiual ulcer, in the back of a
poor woman, Alary 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 lo learn who is your authorised agent in this
city, for,being in want of a supply of your oint
ment, and the person Mr. Boyle,from whom 1 used
lo purchase it, having failed and gone oul of busi
ness, 1 am fearful if 1 purchase at random, that 1
may be imposed on by a counterfeit.

Sir, —1 have no hesitation in stating, m reply to
your note, that your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority ot the ends for which vou re
commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by the word
majority, as it is ray maxim to give no opinion in
medicai makers where I have had no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
lows, piles, Ac., it is m» universal recipe. I have
also used it on the leg of a boy which had been
b.llen by au adder, and the extraction of the poison,
and ultimate cure was so rapid, that rny patient was'
an well as ever in a week ; and has remained so to
this day

f I *HESE Pills are no longer Among those of doubt-
I. ful utility. They have passed away from Ihe
hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of
experiment, and now stand before the public as
high m reputation, and as extensively employed in j*
all parts of the United States, the Canadas, Texas n
Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine that a
has ever been prepared for the relief of suffering j
man. They have been introduced wherever it was J
found possible to carry them ; and there are but 2
few towns that do not contain some remarkable
evidences of their good eiFccts. The certificates
that have been presented to the propiietor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards ol five hundred of
which are from regular practising physicians, who
arc the most competent judges of their merits.
Often have the cures performed by this medicin
been the subject of editorial comment, in varioii
newspapers and journals; and it may with truth be
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
*nd there ar e,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,Flatulence,Habitu
al Costiv { .ness, 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 w 7 as forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No
Ca.,March 3d, 1838:
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, By requestor your agent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting tlie
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 1 and my
family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
years; and so great a i*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 a sim
ple purifier of the system, and therefore equally
the enemy of every disease. 1 will mention one
case. I 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.
Bhe 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 alt 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 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
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 jaw sos 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 7 from the immense quantity you dispose
of 1 may mention, however, that notwithstanding
its general use, I never heard an individual complain
of its effects. My residence is 12 miles from Lai
eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen
timents of regard, your ob’t servant.
A. G. BANKS.
To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upward c of fifteen
months, I have been cruelly afllicled with Fever
and Ague; and during the time could find nothing —
I 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 1 am most grateful and
happy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used
two boxes when 1 found that they hud restored me
to perfect health. Since tiien, various members of
my family have used them with equal success—
and consequently I feel it my duly to apprise you
I of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
! certificate, as I am anxious to add my 7 public testi
■ mony 10 the almost miraculous virtues of y our un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,
THEODORE JAMES.

Communication received from the eminent Dr. J.
if. Irw in of Florence, Georgia :
Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear Sir—On the night of
the llthinst.,l 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 (Croup) and apparently be
yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
tune, however, 1 had in rny 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. 1 his
case, in connection with my name is at y our 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
1 practice. Yours most resp’y.

j to Lee’s, Brandieth’s or Morrison’s Pills.

LE CORDIAL DE LIICINE.
OU L’KLIXIR DE 1/AMOUR.
fINHE subscriber has the pleasure ol announcing
1 to ihe citizens of the IJ. Stales, that he has
purchased, for a very large sum and from t tie in
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of Paris hi*
recipe ar d riaht for making ibis astonishing m< cli
cine. Until the appearance of the “ Lucina Cor
dial,- ’ (about three years since,) it was thought that
the complaints,which it speedily overcomes, were
beyond the reach of human remedy, ns for upwards
of a thousand y«ars. they had baffled the wisdom
and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in
nil parts of the world. 'Phis Cordial, howt ver,to
ihe great odvantngeof the human race,soon proved
itself to he the desideratum so long sought for; and
accordingly,notwithstandingtl e brief peri dofits
existence, it has required a celebrity so great, that
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 of sale, under obliga
tions of secrecy, ter England, the United Staus,
ami olhei countries, only preserving France and
Italy for himself. Thus has ihe subscriber p<;S
sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and now
hastens to give the inhabitants of his lined agents,
the benefits of Ins speculation.
“Le c ordial De Lueine,” or, in English, “ine
Lucira Cordial,” is a general invigorutor of the \
human frame! In all t lie various cases of languor,
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing rente. j
dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful, i
ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor
to the body But the peculiar virtue on which it*
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they have ;
he»n destroyed by disease,time,:ci Klessness,orany
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, this C ordial contains nothing of a tr.cr.
enrial or deleterious nature, among the many mgre
dients which compose it; but is, at the same time, J
s<» simple, yet so « fficaeious, that while it can reno
vate the p,ros.raved 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 he
sure to result from it. we cannot enter into an analy
sis ol this ine timable Cordial here, or publish many
of the documents which have been received, as
vouchers of the blessings u has conferred on num
bers of despairing individuals. But t; is 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 |
the procreant functions, in oil her sex ; and therefore,
that these evils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued and removed by the
use ol “ 1-e Cordial de Lueine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also t n indubitable cure ?
fur lheGleet,and the Fluor A1 bus,obstructed,diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the moon- j
tinenet ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there |
of. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled i
medicine incases of Chronic Eruptions of thesktn,
and in the dropsical affections of the aged.
Most important to the American Public.
The United Hates proprietor of the celebrated
“ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the following certificate, ,
which lie has received Imm the inventor, the illus- j
tnuus Dr. Magnin of Faris
“ Thii is to certify,that I have disposed of the L
recipe for Risking the “Luc.na Cordial,” or t
“ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it •
throughout the t lined Stairs of North America,
to John V\ inters Holderw ell, M. D. My reasons
fur so doing is, that the demands to me for the above
Cordial, of w hich 1 am the inventor, are so nume
rous, I bat 1 am unable to supply all the orders f rom
France and Italy alone; and have therefore dispo
sed of the privileges vouclisuicu inthis, and other
certificates ol alike nature in order to generalise
the benefits ol my discovery throughout the world.

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am raos
gratified at the unprecedented popularity ol vout
“Luc’ii.t Cordial,” and am able to Hear testimony to *
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recculiv,
1 M , a gentleman ot fortune, who had tor
several years abandoned himself in the vortex oi
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it »t
length by the utter proatiau.in of alt his virileeucr
gies. He was,indeed,reduced to the last extremity
ol debility and Usteiessness. for, if an occasional
flash of excitement, warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost irnnu dime, and the result perfect
prostration. 1 haeiapplitd all the usual nostrums
in such cases; but, as 1 had anticipated, without
success; and when I saw the “ Lucuia Cordial”
advertised, I must confess that even the great weight
of your name did not give me much hope m it, at
least so far as regarded the case in hand. 1 lt?U
bound to try it,huvvev.r,and was soon sainlied ol
its efficacy; for before a buttle was expended, niv
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ol
his system ; and he is now, h.ivmg used four bottle’s
as w ell is ever.
