ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRHCEAL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five Days.
TXHIS incomparable and invaluable remedy so
long known, and used with such unparrallcled
success in tho Canadas for the last 30 ycais, 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 pri/e obtains its own name from the certain
success which has attended it through all of its
trying circumstances, namely, “five days,”—the
same success which followed it in a Nortlicrn lati
tude still obtains in a more Southern. The formula
or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue
and hazard by M. Chevcres, 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. —
Wabcnoshc prized highly and use it with invariable
success throughout his two tribes. Its known and
valued virtues have already enriched to an almost
incredible extent the children of this warlike prince,
not only by actual sale of the article itself to in
dividuals, hut hy 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
(ircat 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 as near as it can
be anglisi/ed of the deed given by Wabenoshc, to
M. Chcveret, when he purchased the original rcei|)e,
and had twice assisted the Chief himself through
the tedious manipulatory process us manufacture.
Few white men would credit the length of lime
which is consumed in preparing the article for im
mediate use.
TRANSLATION,
“I, Wabenoshc, Chief of the nations Ottowa and
Chippewa, for the love and good feeling which 1
have for my white friend M. Cheveret, (for he has
done many good things for me and my people,) 1
give to him my greatest rare for the bint 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.”

IkR. MILES’ COMPOUND EXTRACT OF
J J TOMATO—a substitute for Calomel, and
lues nut belong to the family us quack medicines;
fur the reason that the component parts arc 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 extrci: e
North has advertised a Tomato Pill, purporting so
be made from the stalk, a thing nut inure 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 are all that they
profess to be, and will do for othets what they
have done for such as mav have used them ; as
this 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 lias
long been known that the Tomato contained ca
thartic principles, but not until of late was it
ascertained that they contained alterative and diu
retic proi>crties. 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, us they
justly do the one thousand and oue cure-alls of the
day. If you wish to cleanse tire system with a
mild, sa.e anti-bilious medicine, use the Tomato
Pill, of which a supply, wc lesm, will soon be in
this city. Wc all know something about this.

Radical Cure oMlcrmaur Rupture, by Dr.
Chase’s Improved Surgeons’ Trusses.
riIHE subscriber tins opened an office, at the Drug
store of Messrs. J. J. Robertson &Uo., for the
treatment of Hernia or Rupture, by means of these
listly celebrated instruments. He has now used
them for nearly a year, and, did not delicacy forbid,
he could name several persons who have been radi
cally cured , of this truly distressing and dangerous
affection, by the use of these Trusses, besides many
others who are in a fairway of being entirely re
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 efleeted
the permanent ami 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
arc usually ventured upon by those who wearothcr
trusses j 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 Dost known weans 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 lo 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 adjusi
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 their pecuniary disability.
The instruments are of all sizes, and applicable
to every variety of reducibWrupture,

The extraordinary reputation that Dr. Spohn’s

That so much suffering should have existed forages
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 ns will convince the most credulous. The
principles on which it acts ore simple and plain. It is
an a milled fact that ibis complaint, whether called
Sick Headache, or Nervous Headache, arises prim
arily from the stomach—those who think they have
the Nervous Headache may rest assured that this
organ, the stomach, is Ihe first cause, that, tli» sys

stomach, and that only through ihe same cbiinncl
must they expects restoration ol ihe natural and

t b .HESE Pills arc no longer among those of donbt
1. ful utility. They have passed away from the
hundreds that are daily launched upon the tide of
experiment, and now stand before the public as
high in reputation, and as extensively employed in
all parts of the United States, the Canadas, Texas
Mexico, and the West Indies, as any medicine that
lias 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 theirgoed effects. The certificates
that have been presented to the propiietor exceed
twenty thousand! upwards of five hundred of
which arc from regular practising physicians, who
are the most competent judges of their merits.
| Often have the cures performed by this medieiii
been the subject of editorial comment, in virion
newspapers and journals ; and it may with truth he
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
and there are,thousands of families who declare they
are never satislied until they have a supply always
on hand.
They have no rival in curing and preventing
Billions Fevers, Fever and Ague, Dyspepsia, Liver
Complaints, Sick Headache, Jaundice, Asthma,

where a cathartic or aperient is needed They are
exceedingly mild in their operation, producing
neither nausea, griping nor debility.
'The following was forwarded to Dr. Peters, by a
highly respectable Planter of Wake County, No
Ca.,March 3d, 1838:
Dr. Peters —Dear Sir, —Hy requestof your agent,
Mr. Harrison, I send you a few lines respecting the
almost miraculous effects of your pil's; and 1 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 ase 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. 1 will not enumerate the afflictions
they have relieved ns of; hut 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 hy 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
pecting every day to he 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, (but more especially (he
suffering party,) considered to he the next thing to
miraculous; and yet 1 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,l 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.
A. G. BANKS.
To Dr. Peters, —Sir —For upward o of fifteen
months, 1 have been cruelly afflicted with Fever
and Ague; and during the time could find nothing —
though 1 had app i. d to every thing that gave me

ever, your pills were recommended to me, by one
of our best physicians, and I am most grateful and
''■'vvy in being able to add, that 1 had scarcely used j
two boxes when i found that they had restored me 1
to perfect health. Since then, various members of
my family have used them with equal success—
and consequently I feel it my duty to apprise you
of the fact, and to request of you to publish this
certificate, as lam anxious to add my public testi

H. Irwin of Florence, Georgia:
Dr. J. F. Peters —My Dear Sir —On the night of
the llthinst., 1 was called in great haste to the
house of a fellow ci.izen, (Mr. Lee,) where I found
his sun laboring under a most alarming attack of
Cynanche Tracnealis (Cronp) and apparently be
yond the aid of remedy. By the greatest good for
tune, however, 1 had in my pocket a broken box of
your pills—four of which 1 administere I, with
sucli immediate happy effect that in a few minutes
my patient was at ease, and out of danger. This
case, in connection with my name is at your ser
vice—and 1 have the pleasure to he able to inform
you that your inestimable medicine is in such great
favor with the faculty here, that 1 hel eve there is
not one of them who does not use it in his private
practice. Y ours most resp’y.
March 13, 1839. J. 11. IRWIN, Jil. D.
Extract from a letter written by Dr. Francis Bo
gart, of Providence, R. 1., Dec. 17, 1838. —Peters’
pills are an excellent aperient and cathartic medi
cine, those effects being produced hy the differences
of the quantity taken, and are decidedly superior
to Lee’s, Brandreth’s or Morrison’s Pills.
Extract from a letter hy Dr. Hopson of Bangor,
Me , Jan. 9, 1839. They are a peculiarly 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, S t., 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 Ur. Edw Smith of Mon
treal, U. C., Bept. 27, 1836. —1 neverknev a single
patent medicine that 1 could put the least confi
dence in hut 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 sourceinthe impurity of the
blood
Extract of a letter from Dr. Dye of Quebec, L.
C., March 6, 1837.—F0r bilious fevers, sick head
ache, torpidity ol 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, 1 prescribe 100 boxes in
a month
Extract of a letter from Dr. Prichard of Hudson,
N. Y’., Jure 3, 1836. —1 was aware that Dr. Peters
was one of the best chemists in the I nited Stales,
and felt assured that he would someday (from his
intimate knowledge of the properties of herbs
and drugs) produce an efficient medicine, and Imust
acknowledge that his Vegetable Pills fully respond
to my expectations. They are indeed a superior
medicine, and reflect credit alike upon the Chemist
tire Physician, and the Philosopher.
Extractor a letter from Dr. Waines of Cincin
nati,"Feb. 2,1838. —Y’our Pills are the mildest in
their operations, and yet most powerful in their ef
focts, ot any that 1 have ever met with in a practice
of eight and twenty years. Their action on the
chyle, and hence on tire impurities of the blood is
evidently very surprising.
Extract of a letter from Dr. Scott of Baltimore
Dec. 17,1836. —1 am in the daily habit of prescri
bing them, (Peters’Pills) and they in nearly all
cases answered my purpose. 1 have discarded other
medicines, some of Uicm very good ones, in their
favor.
Charlotte, N.C., Jan. 1, 1837.
Dear Sir—l have made frequent use of your Pills
in thi incipient stage of bilious fever, and obsti

' FINHE great celebrityof this unrivalled Compo
t sit ion, especially in Ihe Northern States, leaves
the proprietor hut little need to say any thing in its
? favor: for it has been generally conceded to it,that
r it is beyond all comparison the best remedy for cx
, ternal complaints that has ever been discovered.
, Indeed the,speed and certainly of ils operations,
, have lire appearance of miracles :as ulcers, wounds,
i corns, fever sores,chilblains, while swellings, biles,
. piles, spider and snake biles, Are. Ate., immediately
r yield to its superhuman influence. Thus, it prop
t orly 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 easesol w hite swelling that can he inm
, gired. have been destroyed by it in less than two
months. In the bites of poisonous reptiles ils effi
cacy is truly surprising, and if applied in time, its
powers of attraction ore so wonderful that they w ill
] at once arrest the poison and thus prevent it. from
j pervading lire system. It is likewise greatly stipe
l rior to any medicine heretofore discovered for the
chafed hack and limbs of horses—lor tellers, ring
worms, chapped lips—and in short, for every exter
nal bodily evil that may fall to the lot el man or
! beast.
The proprietor has received nt least a thousand
certificates, and other documents, in favor of his
“Specific Ointm nt," upwards of a hundred *f

Medical Faculty.

Dear Sir—My daughter, a girl ol lonneen, was
sadly afflicted witn the complaint that physicians
termed a scald head ; and I feared, independent of
evert 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 hail as fast as can ho expected. The
cure was effected in rather less than two months;
during which lime 1 used five dollars worth of oint
ment; 1 had spent upwards of a hundred dollars
dating the previous three years, without any benefit
whatever.

Dr. Harrison
Sir—The virtues of your Specific Ointment, have
been long known to me,as I tiave used none other
in my rathcrixiensive practice forseveral years,and
if you think it vvomd be to your advantage, 1 can
furnish you with twenty certificates ol 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

one days. My present chief object in w riting to
you, is io learn who is your authorised agent in this

Sir, —1 have no hesitation in staling, in reply to

equal In the majority ol the ends for which you re
commend it. 1 qualify my certificate by the word
majority, as it is my maxim to give no opinion in
medical matters where 1 have Imd no experience.
In sprains, bruises, inflammations,eruptions, whit
lows, piles,&c.,it is mv universal recipe. 1 have
also used it on the leg of a hoy which had been

LE CORDIAL DE LUCINE.
OU L’KLIXIR DE L’aMOUK.
f INIIE subscriber has the pleasured announcim
| to the citizens of the U. States, thut he ha
purchased, fora very large sum and from the in
ventor, the celebrated Dr. Magnin, of Paris lg
recipe ar d riehl for making this astonishing meih
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 rcachof human remedy, as for upward#
of a thousand yiars. they had Imfllpd the wisdom
and ingenuity of the most profound physicians in
all parts of the world. This Cordial, however, to
the great ndvanlagcof thehuman race,soon proved
itse'.f to be the desideratum so long sought fur; and
accordingly, notwithstanding lie briel peri dofua
existence, it has required a celebrity so great, that A
it is eagerly inquired (or throughout the civilized
globe. Dr Magnin soon finding that the demand I
was so vast ns io render a supply impossible, dis I
posed of the recipe and right of sale, under oblige I
lions of secrecy, tor England, the United
and othei countries,only preserving France and
Italy for himself. Thus has the subscriber pos
sessed himself of the invaluable secret; and now
hastens (ogive the inhabitants of his line us agency
the benefits of his speculation.
“Lc Cordial De Lucine,” or, in English, ‘‘the
Lucira Cordial,” is a general invigorntor of the
human frame I In all the various cases of languor,
lassitude, and debilitation ; it is an unfailing reme
dy ; as it is equally its province to impart cheerful
ness and decision to the mind, as health and vigor
to the body But the peculiar virlueon which its
celebrity is based, is the facility and certainty with
which it restores the virile powers w hen they have
been destroyed hy disease,time, recklessness,orally
of the numerous causes which terminate in the
prostration of those functions.
In common with the generality of really good
medicines, ihist ordial contains nothing of a mer
curia! or deleterious nature, among the many ingre.
dienls which compose it; but is, at the same lime,
so simple, yet so efficacious, that while it can 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 the hem fits which would be
sore to result from it, weeannot enter into an analy
sis of this inestimable Cordial here, or publish many
of the documents which have been received, as
vouchers of the blessings it has conferred on num
bersof despairingindividuals. But this wc cannot
forbear remarking—that it has been demonstrated
that there is scarcely ever, if any such thing at all,
os natural barrenness, or as natural imbecility of
(be procreant functions, in either sex; and therefore,
that theseevils are the effects of artificial causes,
and may be speedily subdued and removed by the
use ot “ Le Cordial de Lucine.”
The Lucina Cordial is also r.n indubitable cure
for theGleet.and the Fluor Albus,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 ;
“ Thij is to certify,that I have disposed of the
recipe for msking the “Lucina Cordial,” or
“ Elixir of Love,” and also the right to sell it
throughout the f niled Stales of North America,
to John Winters Holderwell,M. D. My reasons
for so doing is, I hat the demands to me forthe aWfre
Cordial, of which 1 am the inventor, are so nume
rous, l hat I am unable to supply all the orders from
France and Italy alone; and have therefore dispo
sed of the privileges vouehsaied in this, and oilier
certificates of a like nature in order to generalise
the benefits of my discovery throughout the world.

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

Extract of e letter from the elebraled Talleyrand,
to Dr Magnin.
I am now on the wrong side of eighty, and set 1
could be on my honor or oath if necessary^ - that a
bot lie or two of your Cordial of Love has made me
leel as vigorous as a boy of five and twenty. I
think you have disco veted I tie “Elixir of Life,"
which the alchymists have been so lung in quest ol;
ant; that (pardon my officiousness,) you should have
named it accordingly.
From the eminent Dr. Devigney, of Brussels.
October 3, 1837.
To Dr. Magnin;—My dear friend— l am most
gratified at I lie unprecedented popularity ol your
“Lucina Cordial,” and am able io bear testimony to
its surprising virtue. 1 had a patient recently,
1 >1 , a gentleman ol fortune, who had lor
several years abandoned himsell in the vortex oi
dissipation ; and was only reclaimed from it at
length by the utter prostration of all his virile ener
gies. He was, indeed, red need to Ihe last exiremtiy
ol debility ami t istelessness, for, if an occasional
flash of excitement warmed his system, the reac
tion was almost immtdiuie,and tho result perfect
prostration. 1 had applied all the usual nostrums
in such cases ; but, as I had anticipated, without
success; and when I saw the “ Luogia Cordial”
advertised, 1 must confess that even the great weight
of your name did not give me much hope in it, nt
least so far as regarded the case in hand. I felt
bound lo try it,howev;r,and was soon satisfied of
its efficacy; for before a buttle was expended, my
patient gave evidence of the returning elasticity of
his system ; and tie is now, having used four bottles,
as w ell is ever.
The numlier of documents, such as the above
w hich have been received bv Mr. Magnin, since the
first appearance of “ Lo Cordial de Lucine,” would
fill a volume as large as the Bible.
