fIIHE Trustees of this institution arc happy to
1 have it in their power to state, that both the
principal Academy in Augusta, and the branch at
Summerville, have resumed their exercises, under
the management of Teachers who have the full
confidence of the Trustees, and who, they are sa

Mr. Ernenputsch, the Rector of the? Academy,
already favorably known to the community, has
charge of the Classical department and al! the
branches of education requi-itc for ale mission to
our best Colleges, His attainments as a scholar
and success in imparting useful knowledge, emi

Trustees feel assured that he will sustain the re
putation which led to ht« selection.
The branch of the Academy at Summerville is
under the immediate management of Mr. Frank

TERS have l»eeti gratefully and publicly ae
l now lodged hy the perrons henefiiitod, and who
were previously unacquainted wnh the benuihilly
philosophical principles u;nm which they are
eonqtounled, and upon which they consequently
act.
The LIFE MEDICINIS recommend themselves
I in diseases of every form nnd description. Their
first oferation is to loosen from the coats ol the
stomach and bowels, the various impurities ami
crudities eon tantly settling around them ; and to
I remove ihe hardened fasces w hich collect
| con collisions of the smallest intestines. Other
m-dicines only partially cleanse these, and leave
such collected masses behind as to produce lialnlu
al costiveness wilh 11 its train ofevils. or in a sud
den d arrhona, w ith its eminent dangers. This fact
is weli known to ail regular anatomists, who ex
amine ihe human bowels after death ; and heme
the prejudice of those well informed men against
quack medicines —or medicines prepared and her
laded to the public bv ignorant j* rsons. 'I he se
condeffect of the Life Medicines is to cleanse the
! kidneys and the bladder, and hy this means, the
| liver and the lungs, the healthful action of which
entirely depends upon the regularity of the urinary ;
organs. The blocd, which takes its red color Irom
the agency of the liver and the lungs before it
passes into the heat, being thus purifiid by tliem
and nourished by food coming from a clean stom
ach, courses freely through the veins, renews every
part of the system. and triumphantly mounts the
banner of health in the blooming cheek.
Moffat’s Vegetable Lite Medicines have been
thoroughly altered, and pronounced a sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia, Flatulency, Palpitation of
the Heart, Loss of Appetite, Heart-burn and Head
ache, Restlessness, 111-temper, Anxiety, Languor
and Melancholy, Costiveness, Diarrhoea, Cholera,
Fevers of all kinds, Rheumatism, Gout, Dropsies
of all kind. Gravel, Worms, Asthma and Consurap
tion, Scurvy, Ulcers, Inveterate 5-ores, Scorbutic
Eruptions and Bad Complexions, Eruptive com
plaints, Sallow, Cloudy, and o’her disagreeable
Complexions, Salt Rheum, Erysijielas, Common
Colds and influenza and various other complaints
which afflict the human frame. In fever and
ague, particularly, the Life Medicines have been
raostemmently successful; so much so that in the
Fever and Ague districts, Physicians almost uni
versally prescribe them.
All that Mr. Moffat requires of his patient is
to be particular in taking the Life Medicines strictly
according to the directions, it is not by a news
paper nonce, or any thigg that lie himself may say
in their lavor, that he hopes to gain credit. It is
alone hy the resul of a fair trial,
MOFFAT’S MEDICAL .MANUAL; designed
as a domestic guide to health.—This little pamphlet
edited by W. B. Moflfu 375 Broadway New York,

Radical Cure ol Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
TITHE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
’ store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson fxCo., for the
treatment of Hernia or R.uplure, 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
I affection, by the use of these Trusses,besides many
i others who are in a fairway of being entirely re
j lieved. The following is the language of the com
mittee ol 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 wearcthei
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 hemn, and as furnishing the
highest chance* 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 Df. Chase’s Trusses are decidedly the best
yet invented to effect the object.”
Persons froca 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 soraeresponsi*
ble person, of their pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture.

TO TIIE 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 to
be made from the stalk, a thing not more ausutu
than for one to offer meal from the corn stalk, to
say nothing of the difficulty of raising tire 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 are all that they
profess to be, and will do for othcis what they
have done for such as mav have used them ; as
.his is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will
vloubtlcss 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 it
ascertained that tney couiaineu 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
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
lus city. We all know something aoout this,

ANTi-BALSAMJC GONORRHOEA L SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
r jMHS incomparable and invaluable remedy c o
1 long known, and used with such unparrallclcd
success In the Canadas for the last 30 years, ap
pear- to need no panegyric. Its operation uj>on 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 olitains its own name from the certain
success hich has attended it through all of its
trying c cumstances, namely, “five days,” —the
same su .ess 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. Chcveves, 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. —
Wabenoshc 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 extent the children of this warlike piince,
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 a? near as it can
be anglisized of the deed given by Wabenoshc, to
31. Cheveret. when ho 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, Wabenoshc, 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 i any good things for me and my people.) I
give to him my greatest cure lor 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

is to subdue every vestige of inflamation, and then

the subduction of this loathsome malady —and ev
ery regular graduate in medicine, will sustain the
i assertion, that copious diuresis and reduction of in

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, humoi

most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis

treatment of Gonorrhoea.

The French Pills are applicable in all eases, f«i

sesses great advantages over the Balsams and ail
liquid medicines, by being entirely free from smell,
and consequently do not effect the breath, thereby
preventing the possibility of discovery while using
them.
Besides this important advantage, they never
disagree with the stomach, and in the first stages of
the disease they usually effect a cure in a few days,
with little regard to diet or exposure.
In the roost obstinate stages 01 the disease, they
areequally certain, having cured many after every
other remedy failed. In short they have been
so universally successful that the proprietor chal
lenges any one to produce a remedy of equal cer
tainty, under a forfeiture of Three Hundred Dollars

and all of this 1 look with the same success as bt

Not knowing w hat to resort to next,and seeing voir

DR. E. SFOHN, a German pnysician of much
note, naving devoted ms attention for some
years to tne cure and removal of Ihe causes of N EK
VOUS AND SICK HEAD ACHE, has the satis
faction to make known, that be has a remedy which
by removing the causes cures effectually and perma
nently this distressing complaint. There are many
families w ho have considered Sick Headache a con
stitutional incurable family complaint- Dr. S. as
sures them that ihey are mistaken, and labouring
under distress which tncy might not only alleviate,
but actually eradicated by the use jf his remedy.
It is the result of scientific research, and is entirely
of a different clKiiacter from advertised patent 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 lor 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 w hich it acts are simple and plain. It is
an a. mined 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 a sys
tem lias become vitiated or debilitated, llnoogh the
stomach, and that only through the same channel
must they expects restoration of jhe 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. Tne remedy
may be had of apothecaries generally throughout
the United Stales.

rWIHE great celebrityof this unrivalled Compo-
I 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 has ever been discovered.
Indeed the'speed and certainly of its operations,
have the appearance of miracles ; as ulcers, wouuds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, w hite swellings, biles,
piles,spider ;and snake bites, &c. «sec., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, if 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 of w bite swelling that can he ima
gir ed, have lieen 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, for every exter

Dear Sir—My daughter, a girl of fourteen, was
sadly afflicted wit n the comp aim that physicians j
termed a scald head ; and I feared, independent of
every other evil, that she would be bald in conse- :
quence. By the recommendation, however, of the
Reverend Mr. Perrin, I 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 in lather less than two months;
during whicn time 1 used fiv dollars worth of oint
ment; I had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
du'ing tiie previous three years, without any benefit
whatever. MARY HOWARD, j
I hereby substantiate the truth ot ihe above
statement CHRISTOPHER HOWARD.
1 know the above statement to be coirect, and I j
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 you 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 ray 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 • 1
penor to any remedy extant for external diseases.
Respectfully yours,.

Dr. Harrison.
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as I have used none other
in my rather txiensive practice lorseveral years, and 1
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. 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 Mr. Boyle, Irom whom I used
to purchase it, having tailed and gone out of bust- 1
ness, I am fearful if 1 purchase at 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 to the majority of the ends for which you re
commend it. i qualify my certificate by the word
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters w here I have had no experience,
in sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, w hit
lows, piles, &c., it is my’ 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 w ell as ever in a w eek ; and has remained so to
this day
Yours respectfully,

' I 'HESE Pills are no longer among those of doubt

hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of
experiment, and now stand before the public as
bi-h in reputation, and as extensively employed in
all parts of the United Stales, the Canadas, Texa*
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 propiietor exceed
twenty thousand! upward? of five hundred of
which are from regular practising physicians, who
are the must 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 trutii 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

The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No
Ca.,March 3d,1835:
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, By request of youragent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a lew lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of your pil's; and I would
add, that you may make use ol them, in connection
with my name, in any manner you deem proper, I
I speak of their merits from experience, as I and my
j family have taken upwards of thirty boxes in three
; } ears ; and so great ape the benefits we have receiv
ed from them in general, that I would rather pur-
I chase them at ten dollars a box than have my house
i without them. I will not enumerate the afflictions
1 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 purifier of the system, and therefore equally
the enemy of every disease. I will mention one
case. I have a sister who had been for a pc
i riod severely afflicted with dropsy in the chest and
j was brought by it to the very verge of the grave.
I 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
i fortune, however, as she was in this situation, ex
pect ng every day to be her last, your pills were
introduced into my family, and so speedy and pal
pable were their effects that three dosesVisiblv re
lieved her, and in less than three months she was
i perfectly restored to health. This case, I and all
who were witness of it, (but more especially the
sufferin'; party,) considered to Le the next thing to
miraculous; and yet I < ou.u mention many more
of an equally desperate nature, in which ycurpiils
were equally successful in rescuing the patients
fiorn the jaws of death. Need I add’that t;.e popu
larity of your medicine amounts to enthusiasm in
this section of the country ; But this I presume
you know from the immense quantity jou 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 Kai
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* of fifteen
| months, I have been cruelly afflicted with Fever
and Ague; and during the time could find nothing—
! though I had applied to every thing that gave me i
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 1 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
j of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
certificate, as lam anxious to add my public testi
j raony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,
THEODORE JAMES.

Communication received from the eminent Dr. J.
j H. Irwii of Florence, Georgia:
Dr. J. P. Peters—My DearSir—On the night of
the 11th inst., I was called in great haste to the
house of a fellow ciiizen. (Mr. Lee,) where I 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
j tune, however, I had in ray pocket a broken box of
your pills —four of which I administere 1, with
such immediate happy effect that in a lew minutes
my patient was at ease, and out of danger. This
case,in connection with my name is at your ser
vice—and I have the pleasure to be able to infoim
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
i practice. Yours most resp’y.

Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo
j gart, of Providence, R. 1., Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’
pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi
-1 cine, those effects being produced by the differences
j of the quantify 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,°vet
effleient purgative medicine, and produce little,' if
I any, griping or nausea. I have prescribed them
j with much success in sick headache and slight bil
lions fever.
Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams of
Burlington, Vt., July 9, 1537. —I cordially recom
mend Peters’ Pills as a mildly effective, and in no
case dangerous, family medicine. They are pecu

diseases of the digestive organs.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Edw. Smith of Mon
treal, U. (J,, Sept. 27, 1536 —I never knev a single
patent medicine that I could put the least cona
dence in but Dr. Peters’ Vegetable Pills, which are
really a valuable discovery. 1 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 fiom Dr, Dye of Quebec, L.
C., March 6, 1837. —For 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

sistance in ray practice—especially in jaundice and
yellow fever, from the use of Peters’ Pills. 1 pre
sume that, on an average, 1 prescribe JOO boxes in
a month.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson,
N. Y., Juae 3, 1836.—1 was aware that Dr. Peters
was one of the best chemists in the United Stales,
and felt assured that he would some day (from his
intimate knowledge of the properties of heibs
and drugs) produce an efficient medicine, and I must
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.

Having used Dr. Peters’ Pills in my practice for
he last twelvemonths, 1 take pleasure in giving
my testimony of their good effects in cases of dys
pepsia, sick head-ache, bilious levers, 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. —1 am in the daily habit of prescri

‘‘Le Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, “ Ine
Lucira Cordial,” isa general invigorator of hie
human frame! In all the various ra.-cs of languor
lassitude, and debilitation ; ii is an unfailing remo
dy ; as it is equally its province to impart clteerfn!*
ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor
Pi the body But Ihe peculiar virtue on which u*
celebrity is based, is the tardily and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers when they have
been destroyed by disrase.tiiue.recklessness.oranr
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 mer
curial or deleterious nature, among the many mgre
dients which compose it ; but is, at the same time
bo simple, yet so « ffioacious, that while it can retij
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, on infan
may use it,not only with impunity, but with ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such '
that, notwithstanding the benefits who h would be
sure to result from it, we cannot enter into an armlv
sis ol this ine-tiraable Cordial here, or publish many
of thedocuments which have been received, ag
voucher* of ihe blessings ii has conferred on num
ber- of despairing individuals. But this we cannot
forbear remarking—that it ha* been demomiraied
that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all,
a* natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
the procreant functions, in either sex; and therefore,
lhatthrseevils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued and removed by the
u.~e 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 ot Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
■ 01. It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine incases of Chronic Eruptions of the skin,
and in the dropsical affections ol the aged.

The United States proprietor of the celebrated
i “ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the following certificate,
which he has received from the inventor, the illus

“ This is to certify, that I have disposed of the
'recipe for msking the “Lucina Cordial,” or
“ Elixir of Love," and also ihe right to sell it
throughout the I mted States of North America
to John Winters Holderwell, M. D. My reasons
for so doing is, l hat the demands to me for the above
Cordial, oi which I am the inventor, are so nume

France and liah alone; and have therefore dispo
sed of the privileges vouchsafed in this, and other

From an immense number of testimonials from

Cordial, I have in particular selected the following,
which may be of use to you. You will also find a

ering you the honor which is your due The
“Lucina Cordial” is in our opinion, an infallible
remedy for the prostration of the Procreant tunc

prove a blessing to the human race. We ca. also

Extract of a letter from the elebraled 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 •
bottle or two of your Cordial ol Love has made me
feel as vigorous as a boy of five and twenty. I i
think you have discovered the “Elixir of Life,’
which the alchy mists have been so long in quest of;
ant. that (pardon ray officioirsncss,! you should have
named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Mognin :—My dear friend—l am raos
gratified at Ihe unprecedented popularity ol your
“Luc aa Cordial,” and am able to feear testimony to
its surprising virtue, i had a patient recently,
I M , agenileman ol fortune, who had lor
several years abandoned tnrasell in the vortex ot
dissipation; and was only reclaimed from it »t
length by the utter prostration of ail his virileener
gies. He was, indeed, reduced to the last ext reran J
of debility and t istelessness, for, if an occasional
flask of excitement w armed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate,and the result ported
prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrum*
in such ca*es ; but, as 1 bad anticipated, without
success; and when i saw the “Lucina Cordial
advertised, 1 must confess lhal even ihe great weight
of your name d:d not give me much hiq»e in it,,* 1
least so far as regarded the rase in hand. 1 felt
bound to try it,however,and was soon satisfied ol
its efficacy; for bofure a bottle was ex}teniled, my
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity ol
iris system ; and lie is now, lowing used four bottles,
as wellts ever.
The number of documents, such ns the above
w hich have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the
first appearance of “ Lc Cordial de Lucine,” would
