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 the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-bum and Head ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor and Melancholy, Cosiiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera, Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies of all kind, Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consump lion, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate Sores, Scorbutic Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com plaints, Sallow’, Cloudy, and other disagreeable Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, Common Colds and influenza and various oilier complainis 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.

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. 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 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. his city.

BENJAMIN FOSHEE. , August 3, 1839. wtf 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.” Signed WABINOSHE,his X mark.

'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 tem has become vitiated or debiluaied, ilnoogh the stomach, and that only through the same channel must they expect s restoration ol jbe na.ural and healthy functions ol the system.

This latter consideration has prompted the author ot these bit- . ters to make them known.

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 “ Rpecitic Oiuiin nt,” upwards of a hundred of which were written by respectable members of the Medical Faculty.

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. Augusta, Ga., Feb 10, 1839. Communication received from the eminent Dr. J. if. Irw in of Florence, Georgia : Dr. J. P.

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.

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.
