CINQ JOURS,
OR
ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHtEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
ri'HIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
1 long known, and used with such unparrallcled
success in the Canadas for the last 30 yeais, ap
pears to need no panegyric. Us operation upon the
human system is such that it invariably acts like
a charm, for 'he relief and radical cure of a certain
common and disagreeable “ills the flesh is heir to.”
This prize obtains its own name from the certain
success which has attended it through all of its
trying circumstances, namely, “five days,” —the
same sueecss which followed it in a Northern lati
tude still obtains in a more Southern. The formula
or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue
and hazard by M Cheveres, from the celebrated
Indian Chief Wabenothe, or Great Moon, whilst
he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Fur bu
siness in the North-west with the Indians.—
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 extent the children of this warlike prince,
not only by actual sale of the article itself to in
dividuals, hut by parting wilh copies of his rereipt
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 111 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 Wahcnosbe, to
M.C'licveret.wlien lie 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, Wahenoshc, Chief of the nations Ottowaand
Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which 1
have for my white friend M. Cheverct, (for he has
done many good things for me and my people,) I
give to him my greatest cure for the had 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.”

This Medicine,! warrrnt by this publication,un
der a penalty of $5,000, not to contain one parti
cle of corrosive preparation. It is purely refuta
ble in its essences. Its first and prominent virtue
is to subdue every vestige of inllamation, and then
acts mildly and copiously as a diuretic; thereby
holding within itself, every requisite virtue, for
the suhduction of this loathsome malady —and ev
ery regular graduate in medicine, wilt sustain the
assertion, that copious diuresis and reduction of in
flation, arc the only two things necessary to effect
a sound and radical cure.
The most peculiar virtue of the “Cinq Jours,”
is in this, that wherever it alone has been used to
allcct 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, humor
alis, incontinence, and a swarm of other of the
most loathsome, perplexing, and disagreeable dis
eases, roiiseqnent upon erroneous diagnosis and
treatment of Gonorrhoea.

TO THE FACULTY AND HEADS OF
FAMILIES.
DR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
TOMATO—a substitute for Calomel, and
dues nut belong to the family of quack medicines;
for the reason that the component parts arc made
known to tho 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
Noith has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting to
be made from the stalk, a thing not more absurd
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 are all that they
profess to he, and will do for otheis what they
have done for such as mav have used them ; as
this is a vegetable of great use, and value, it will
doubtless he 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 hapatinc, 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 1 many will recollect with what trembling
anxiety calomel has been given to children, and
how they then wished foi a substitute. It has
long been known that the Tomato contained ca
thartic principles, hut not until of late was it
aicertaincd that they 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 he 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 lean;, will soon be in

UiulictUCnre ol Hernia or Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
FIN HE subscriber has opened an office, at the Drug
store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson & Co., forth?
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means of these
ustly celebrated instruments. Ho 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
1 others who arc in a fairway of being entirely re
lieved. The following is the language of lire 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 he 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 conlidenee 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 cur 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 ran 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 someresponsi
ble person,of ttieir pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducible rupture,

The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s

That so m ich suffering should have existed forages
without any discovery of an effectual prevenliv i, or

now assures the public that such a n medy has been
invented us will convince the must credulous. The

an a milled fact that this complaint, whether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim

the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is the first cause, thot lh» sys

The French Pills are applicable in all cases, lot
either sex, (warranted free from Mercury,) and pos
senses great advantages over the Balsams and all
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, thev never

the disease they usually effect a cute in a few days,

In the must obstinate stages of the disease, they
areequally certain, having cured many after every

The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No
Ca,March 3d. 1838:
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, —By requestof your agent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of your pil's; and I would
a-’d, that you may make use ol them,in connection
with my name, in any manner you deem proper, 1
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 1 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 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 long 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; hut all their efforts to
restore her to health, or even to mitigate her suffer
ings were fruitless ; and accordingly, we all consid
ered her immediate death as inevitable. By good
fortune, however, as she was in this situation, ex
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 doses visibly re
lieved her, and in less than three months she was
perfectly restored to health. This case, 1 and all
who were witness of it, (hut 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 you 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 Ral
eigh, on the road to Fayetteville. I am, with sen
timents of regard, your ob’t servant.

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
any thing like permanent relief. At length, how
ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
of our best phj sicians, 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 i,ave used them with equal success —
and consequently 1 feel it my duty to apprise you
of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
certificate, as lam anxious to add my public testi
mony to the almost miraculous virtues of your un
rivalled medicine. Respectfully yours,
THEODORE JAMES.

Communication received from the eminent Dr. J.
H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia:
Dr. J. P. Peters —My Dear Sir—On the night of
the 11th inst., I was called in great Jtaste to the
house of a fellow ci.izen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found
his son laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cynancbe Tracnealis (Croup) and apparently be
yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
tune, however, I had in my pocket a broken box of
your pills—four of which I administere I, 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 I have the pleasure to be able to inform
you that your inestimable medicine is in such great
favor with the faculty here, that I believe there is
not one of them who docs not use it in his private
practice. Yours most resp’y.
March 13, 1839. J. H. IRWIN, M. D.
Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo
gart, of Providence, R. 1., Dec. 17, 1838.—Peters’
pills arc an excellent aperient and cathartic medi
cine, those effects being produced by the differences
of the quantity taken, and are decidedly superior
to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.
Extract from a letter by Dr. Hopson of Bangor,
Me , Jan. 9, 1839. They arc apeculiarly mild,yet
efficient purgative medicine, and produce little, if
any, griping or nausea. 1 have prescribed them
with much success in sick headache and slight bil
lions fever.
Extract of a letter by Dr. Joseph Williams of
Burlington, Vt., July 9, 1837. —1 cordially recom
mend Peters’ Pills as a mildly effective, and in no
case dangerous, family medicine. They are pecu
liarly influential in costiveness and all the usual
diseases of the digestive organs.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Edw Smith of Mon
treal, U. U., Sept. 27, 1836.—1 neverknev a single
patent medicine that I could put the least confi
dence in but Dr. Peters’ Vegetable Pills, which are
really a valuable discovery. I have no hesitation
in having it known that 1 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 n letter from Dr. Dye of Quebec, L.
C., March 6, 1837. —For bilious fevers, sick head
ache, torpidity of the bowels, and enlargement of
the spleen, Dr. Peters’ Pills are an excellent medi
cine.
Extract of a letter from Dr Gurney of New Or
leans, La„Oct. 9, 1837.—1 have received much as
sistance in my practice —especially in jaundice and
yellow fever, from the use of Peters’ Pills. I pre
sume that, on an average, I prescribe 100 boxes in
a mouth
1 Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson,
1 N. Y., June 3, 1836. —I was aware that Dr. Peters
, was one of the best chemists in the United States,
and felt assured that he would some day (from his
intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs
and drugs) produce 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,
I the Physician, and the Philosopher.
Extractor a letter from Dr. Waines of Cincin
nati, Feb. 2,1838. —Your Pills are the mildest in

> of eight and twenty years. Their action on the
’ chyle, and hence on the impurities of the blood, is
’evidently very surprising
Extract of a letter from Dr. Scott of Baltimore,
1 Dec. 17,1836.—1 am in the daily habit of nrescri
' bing them, (Peters’Pills) and they in nearly all
cases answered my purpose. 1 have discarded other
medicines, some of them very good ones, in their
favor.
, Charlotte, N.C., Jan. 1, 1837.
Dear Sir—l have made frequent use of your Pills
in the incipient stage of bilious fever, and obsti

largement of the sp'een, chronic diseases of the

FINHE great celebrity of this unrivalled Compo-
I sit ion,especially in the Northern States, leaves
the pro[Hrietor hut little need to say any thing in its
favor: for it has been generally conceded to it,that
it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for ex
ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
Indeed lhe(spccd and certainly of its operations,*
have the appearance ofrniracles : as ulcers, wounds,
corns, fever sores,chilblains, while swellings, biles,
piles,spider and snake bites, &c. <kc., immediately
yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, it prop
erly applied it w ill remove an inveterate corn or
break and heal a bile iu five Uays, will allay and
perfectly cure art ulcer,in two weeks, and the most
desperate cr.sesot white swelling that can bo ima
gined have been destroyed by it rn less than two
months. Inrhe biles of poisonous reptiles its effi
cacy is truly surprising, and if applied in lime, its
powers ol attraction are so wonderful that the y will
at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it from
pervaumg the system, it is likewise greatly supe
rior m any medicine heretofore discovered for lire
dialed brick and limbs of horses—for tetters, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter
nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot of man or
beast.
The proprietor has received at least a thousand
certificates, and other documents, in favor of his
“ Specific Ointm nt,” upwards of a hundred of
which were written by respectable members of the
Medical Faculty.

Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me, as 1 have used none other
in my rather extensive practice lorseveral years,and
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 pt-rpetual 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 10 learn who is your authorised agent in this
city, lor,being in want of a supply ol your oint
ment, and lire person Mr. Boyle,from whom I used
to purchase it, having tailed and gone out of busi

Sir, —1 have no hesitation in stating, in reply to
your note, '.hat your “ Specific Ointment” is truly
equal to the majority oi the ends fur which you re
commend it. 1 qualify ray certificate by the word
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters where 1 have had no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations, eruptions, whit
lows, piles, &c., it is mv universal recipe. I have
also used it on'he leg of a boy which had been
bitten by an adder, and the extraction of the poison,
and ultimate cure was so rapid, that my patient was

LE CORDIAL DE LUCINIi.
OU L’ELIXIR DE L’AMOUR.
rpHE subscriber has the p’easureoi announcing
JL to the citizens of theU. States, thel he has
purchased, for a very large sum and from the in
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Mngnin, of Paris, tl e
recipe ard right for making this astonishing tnedj.
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 ol human remedy, as forupwards
of a thousand years, they had haflled the wisdom
and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in
all pans ol the world. This Cordial, however, to
the great »dvantageofthe human race,soon proved
itse;f to be the desideratum so b.ng sought for; and
accordingly, notwithstanding rl e brief peri, d of as
existence, it has required n celebrity so great, that
it is eagerly inquired for throughout the civilized
globe. Dr. Magnin soon finding that the demand
was so vast as lo renders supply impossible, dis
posed of the recipe and right ol sale, under obliga
tions of secrecy, fur England, tire United States
and olhci countries,only preserving France and
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber pos
sessed himself ol tire invaluable secret; and now
hastens logtve the inhabitants of his line of agency
the benefits of his speculation.
“Le Cordial Ue Lucine,” or, in English, “the
Lucica Cordial,” is a general invigorator of the
human frame! In all the various cases of languor,
lassitude, and debilitation ; if is an unfailing reme
dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful
ness and decision to the mind, ns health and vigor
to the body But the peculiar virtue on which its
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainly with
which it restores the virile piwers when they have
been dent roved by disease.timc, recklessness,orany
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, tliis Cordial contains nothing of a mor]
curial or deleterious nature, a,nong the many ingre
dients which compose it; but is, at the same time,
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it ran reno
vate the prostrated energies of a giant, an infant
may use it,not only with impunity, but with ad
vantage.
The usages of society are unfortunately such,
that, notwithstanding Ihe benefits which would bo
sure to result from it, wc cannot enter into an nnaly
sis ol this inestimable Cordial here, or publish many
of the documents which have been received, ns
vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num
bers of despairingindividuals. Rut this 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
fho procrcant functions, in either sex; and therefore,
that those evils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may bo speediiysubduod end removed by the
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also tn indubitable cure
for the Gleet, and tho Fluor Aibus, obstructed, diffi
cult, or painful Menstruation ; also, for the incon
tinence ol Urine,or the involuntary discharge there
of It is likewise an invaluable and unrivalled
medicine in cases of Chronic Eruptions of theskin,
and in the dropsical affections of the aged.
Most important to the American Public.
The United Stales proprietor of the celebrated
“ Lucina Cordial,” or “ Elixir of Love,” begs to lay
before the community, the following certificate,
which he has received from the inventor, the illus
trious Dr. Magnin.of Paris r
“ Thii is to cerlily,thal I have disposed of the
recine for making the “ Luc na Cordial,” or
“ Elixir of Love,” and also the right lo sell it

From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels.
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin:—My dear friend—l am most
gratified at the unprecedented popularity of your
“Luc'na Cordial,” mid am able lo hear testimony to
its surprising virtue. J had a patient recently,
1 .VI a gentleman ol fortune, who had lor
several years abandoned himseli in the vortex ol
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of alt his virile ener
gies. lie was,indeed, reduced to the last extremity
of debility and Ustelcssness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immediate, and the result perfect
prostration. I had applied all the usual nostrums
in such cases ; hut, as I had anticipated, without
success; and when I saw Ihe “ Lucjgia Cordial”
advertised, I must confess that even the great weight
of your name did not give me mueh hope in it, at
least so far as regarded the case in hand. I felt
bound lo try it,however, and was soon satisfied of
its efficacy; for before a bottle was expended, my
patient gave evidence of tlie returning elasticity of
his system ; and he is now, having used four buttles,
as weilxs ever.
The number of documents, such as the above
which have been received by Mr. Magnin, since the
first appearance of “ Lo Cordial de Lucine," would
fill a volume as large as the Bible.
