LOUIS OFFON GOELICKE,
of Germany ,
The Greatest of Human Benefactors.
Citizens of North and South America,
To Louis Uffon Goelicke, At. D., of Germt-ny,
(Europe,j belongs the imperishable honor of adding
a new and precious doctrine to the science ol medi
cine—a doctrine whkn,though vehemently opposed
joy many of the faculty, which he is a vamaoie
member,) he proves to be as well lounded in truth
as any doctrine of Holy Writ —a doctrine, upor the
verity ol wuich are suspended the lives of millions
of our race, and which he boldly cha.lenges his op
posers to refute, viz: Consumption is a disease al
ways occasioned oy a disordered state ol Vis '■ itte
iOi idle'Principle j of the human body: fjr often
secretly lurking in the system for years before
there is the east complaint of the Lungs Jff) —and
whicn may be as certainly, though not so quickly,
cured, as a common co dor a simple headache. An
invaluably precious doctrine tnis, as it imparts a.i
important lesson to the apparently healthy of both
sc.\es, teaching them that this insidious foe may
be an unobserved inmate of their “ clayey houses'*
even while toey imagine themselves secure from
its attacks, teaching them that the great secret in the
art of preserving heilth is to pluck out the disease
wfien in the blade, and not wait till the full grown
ear.
This illustrious benefactor of man is also entitled
to youi unfeigned gratitude, and the gratitude ol a
world, for t.ie invention of his matchless Sanattve,
i—whose aeating nat may justly claim for it such a
title, since it nas so signally triumphed over our
i/reat common enemy, Consumption, both in
tnedrst and last stages,—a medicine which has
thoroughly ailed the vacuum in the MateriaMedica,
and thereby proved itself the Conqueror of Phy
sicians —a medicine, for which all mankind
will have abundant cause to bless the benencent
hand of a kind providence, —a medicine whose
wondrous virtues have neen so glowingly pourtray
ed even oy sfine of our clergy, in their pastoral
visits to tee sick chamber ; by which means they
often become the nappy instruments of changing de
sponding into hope, sictcness into health, and
of friends into juyfulness. *

from the vegatable, animal and mineial kingdc :ns,

are daily witnessing its astonishing cures oi many
whom they had resigned to the grasp of the Insa
tiable Grave.

A certificate from three members of the Medical
Profession in Germany, in Europe. .
We, the undersigned, practitioners of raedkme
in Germany, are well aware that, by our course,
we may forfeit the friendship of some of the la* ul
ty, but not of its benevolent members, who are un
influenced by seTish motives. 1 hough we shall
refrain from an expression of our opinion, eit ier
of the soundness or un soundness of Dr. Goelick s
new doctrine we are happy to say that we dtem
his Sanative too valuable not to be
known —for what our eyes behold and our c«is
Bear, we must believe. .
® We nereby state, that when Dr. Louis Offen i
Goelick first came before the German as j
the pretended discoverer of a new doctrine aid a }
new medicine, we held him in the highest s on- 1
tempt, believing and openly pronouncing him to be
a base impostor and the prince of quacks. Du - ., on
hearing so much said about the Sanative, against it
and for it, we were induced, from motives of curi
osity merely, to make trial of its reputed vii -ues
upon a number of our most hopeless patients; and >
we now deem it our bounden duty (even at the
expense of self-interest, publicly to acknowledge
its efficacy in curing not only’ consumption, but
other fearful maladies, which we have heretoiore
believed to be incurable. Our contempt for the
discoverer of this medicine was at once swallowed
up in our utter astonishment at these unexpected
resmts ; and, as amends for our abuse of him, we
do frankly confess to the world, that we be.ieve
him a philanthropist, who does honor to the profes
sicn, and to our country, which gave him birth.
The recent adoption of this medicine into some
ofpur European hospitals, is a sufficient guaranty
thlt it performs all promises. It needed not our
estimony, for wherever it is used it is its own oest
wi ness. HERMAN El MULLER, M. D.

It appears by the following information given to
the public by Dr. Rowland, that the much talked of
Matchless Sanative is indeed what it professes to
bt—an effectual and valuable medicine, worthy the
serious attention of every consumptive person, and
sick generally.
MATCHLESS SANATIVE. — David S. Row
land. the General American Agent for this m ;;hty
mt licine, (invented by the immortal GoelicUe ol
Germany) has great p easure in publishing the fol
lowing highly important letter from a respectable
-entiernan in New-York, which he has received,
with many others of a similar character—also [very
iuteißßtin» intelligence from several ol his Agents,
as will be seen below —which, together wit,, the
certiticate from three eminent German physicians,
must forever establish the character of the San itiye
as being without a parallel in the history of medi
cine. *
Testimony’ No.- 1.
A letter from H. F. Sherwood, Esq., of New-York.
QQQ 3 Q
New-York, fUt. 9, 1837.
Dr. D. S. Rowland, —Sir: About the middle of
ouly last, I accidentally noticed in a newspaper the
advertisement of the Matchless Sanative, fer which
I perceived you were agent, and which professed
to be a sovereign remedy for consumption.
As rny wife was then fast wasting away with
this dreadful disease, and as our family physician
was daily and anxiously endeavoring to restore her
to hea th without success, f stepped over :o his
health and asired him if he had any objections to
herltakmg tins medicine. He rep.ied tnat“ rG was
perfectly willing Mrs. Sherwood should take tutor
o *njrtner mediciasue mignt cnoosc,«)utheLiougb
it could do her no good, as her lungs were rapidly
consuming, and no human means could save
Aer.” Still, the Sanative, being recommended by
three physicians who had used it in their practice,
she concluded to give it a trial. I sent and pur
chased a phial which she commenced taking three
times a day, giving a free indulgence to her appe
tite according to the directions. By pursuing this
1 course, she suffered considerably for the first eight
or ten days, bu: was shortly able to eat and drink
t freely, without the -ast inconvenience.
Within four weeks from her first using the med
icine, her feeble health and wasted form began to
• put on new strength, and she has been gaining from
. day to day until the present moment, to the utter
. astonishment of our family physician and friends.—
She is now enjoying a comfortable (though notper
feet) state of health, is able to be about house and
attend church.
Mrs. Sherwood and myself are both fully of
opinion, and so are all who know her remarkable
case, that site owes her live to the Sanative alone:
and as there an* probably many consumptive per
sons in the Unit ed States, who have not yet heard
of this medicine, measures ought speedily’ to be
adopted to have it more general y known.
A number of persons in our neighborhood, I un
derstand, are taking it for other serious complaints,
with very great benefit.
I think of going to the South, with my family,
sometime this fall, and ir case I do, I will proclaim
the virtues of the Sanative in that quarter; for al
though some of Che physicians here are actively op
posed to it. I do sincerely believe it saved my wife
from an opening grave.
If you think this letter will serve he public
good, you are at liberty t:o publish it,
Rc spectfu i ly, &c.
H. F. SHERWOOD.
Testimony No. 2.
One person in our village, who was considered
by his phy'sician to be in a consumption, has taken
the Sanative, and is now well. Another person,
subject to epilep tic fits, has been greatly benetitted
by a short course of this medicine. There can be
no question but this medicine has performed won
derful cures in a host of aases, and that it is worthy
of general attention. — Brunswick Advertiser.
Testimony No. .
THE MATCHLESS SANATIVE.—By an article
in our paper to-day, it will be seen that this medi
cine has lost none of its virtues by crossing the At
lantic —for it appears tc be working similar cures
in America to those which have astonished Europe.

The Robber.
Family affairs obliged me to undertake a jour
ney to the mounta. ous regions of Bohemia, and
I arrived without the slightest accident at the es
tate of my uncle, in that kingdom. There I used
generally to spend the evening in walking. In
one of the-e perambulations, night overtook me in
the woods bordering on my uncle’s domain, and
extending on the contrary side to a chain ol
mountains. My imagination was so occupied
with the idea of my native land, and the dear
objects I had left behind thai I wandered uncon
sciously from ths path. On waking from this
delicious dream, I found that I had totally lost
my way; all my endeavors to regain the right
track were unavailing; such was my situation
when I heard a sudden rustling near me in the
thuket. On raising rny a man stood by
my side, and inquired whifner I was going] I
replied that I had lost my way, and at the same
time mentioned the name of my uncle’s mansion,
requesting him to conduct me to the nearest road
to it He paused for a few moments, and then
answered ; 44 ’Tis a great way, and I cannot pos
sibly conduct you now ; but if you will accept of
a night’s edging in my house, follow.tnc.”
I hesitated not a moment to acceptViis propo
sal. He walked along by Ay «i(& in prolound
silence, answered none of my questions, and ap
peared to be quite absorbed. At length he said,
“You have not been long in this kingdom.”—
“No,” replied f, “but who made you acquainted
with my situation ?”— * 4 Yourself.” I stood still,
and looked at him with the utmost astonishment.
44 Myself,” cried I, in amazement. 44 Yes, your
self: this wood is frequented hy robbers, and you
seem not to be afraid.” 44 Why should I Ik*
afraid 1 I have nothing about me that can be ol
any value to robbers.” He now grasped my hand
with eagerness. “Young man,” said he, 44 you
have nothing to fear: the robbers in this wood
never commit murder.”
Amidst this conversation, we arrived at the door
of a habitation, concealed in the deep recesses ol
the wood. My companion knocked three times ;
a rough voice cried from within, 44 Who is there!”
“A son of night,” w as the reply of my conductor.
The door opened ; I saw myself, by the light of
a lamp, in a spacious apartment, painted black ;
the walls were decorated with arms; a few chairs
and two tables, compo ed the whole of the furni
ture. One of them stood beneath a looking glass
—was covered with a white cloth—and upon it
lay a human skull. “Jacob,” said my compan
ion to a man with a frightful physiognomy,
‘•make a fire in the chimney, and bring provision
for my guest.” In a few moments a fire blazed
on the hearth ; he took me by the hand, and we
seated ourselves before it.
I had now, for the first time, an opportunity of
examining this extraordinary man. I must can
didly confess that I never beheld a more perfect
model of manly beauty, but never were the char
acters of the most profound sorrow and affliction
so legibly inscribed on any brow.
No sooner did our conversation commence than
esteem and astonishment took possession of my
soul. Never had I met with a man who combin
ed such a variety of entertainments. He passed
with perfect ease from one subject to another,
and it appeared as though he had devoted a whole
life to the study of each. Meanwhile, a clock,
that stood in the next room, struck twelve, and at
the same time I heard the report of a gun from
without. I started. “This is the signal for din
ner,” said my host; “we turn day into night, and
night into day. You will sit down with the re
fuse of mankind—with a band of robbers—but
you have nothing to fear. At the table of kings
you may of en eat with great villains, and the
rights of hospitality are, with us, sacred and in
violable.”
He took me by the hand ; a table was spread
beneath a moss-grey oak in the front of the hut.
I seated myself beside my host; eighteen other
persons partook of the simple repast, seasoned on
ly by the narrative of the leader. All listened
attentively to him ; there was nothing that could
be construed into the slightest breach of decorum,
but the conversation was such as you scarcely ex
pect to find in the most polished private houses.
The clock now struck two. My host shud
dered. “Already so late!” cried he, adding in a
milder tone, “Pardon me, stranger, for having so
long deprived you of your rest; in that room my
bed is prepared for you ; sleep, and he not afraid.”
I cordially grasped his hand. “You have told
me too much,” said 1; “you have excited my cu
riosity ; in y I entreat you to communicate to roe
your history 1”
“My history,” replied he, with a ghastly smile,
“would not lull you to pleasing dreams—it would
make the hair ol your head stand on end—it would
make you repent your request—and never will 1
violate the rights of hospitality, I wish rny guest
to sleep in peace beneath my roof—but to-mor
row, b fore you depart, you shall bear the history
of my life—short, but not agreeable as a moment
of pleasure.”
I went and threw myself upon the bed, hut
was unable to sleep. From time to time I heard
a noise in the hut and then again profound si
lence. At last the clock struck five; I could re
strain myself no longer, but sprung up from the
bed. and opened the door of the chamber. My
host wasstil seated before the chimney, with his
eyes fixed on the extinguished ashes “You have
not slept,” said he : “Is this dwelling doomed to
chase sleep rom every eye!” He then made
me sit down beside him, and a simple rustic
breakfast soon made its appearance. Our con
versation was of considerable length. It was
about seven o’clock w..en I prepared to depart:
for I would not, for the wealth of both the Indi« s
ha-e reminded him ofa promise which seemed to
give him so much pain. “Then you are going,”
s.il ne. “I must.” I replied; “at home, all my
f tends will be under apprehensu ns on my ac
count.” 44 You are right,” cried he, for they
know this wood is the retreat of robbers, —but
wait a few momenta.” He then ordered a cou-
« •. <1 « « '
pie of horses to be saddled, and led me back to rov

“ °ung man,” said he, in a grave and solemn
tone, “I will keep the promise I gave you, and
you shall know the history of my life. I was the

class of the people. The inexplicable passion,
w ich precipitated many a useful statesman, many
a valiant warrior, from the pinacle of glory took
entire possession of my heart. At first I employ
ed every possible expedient to subdue her virtue,
ohe repulsed me with contempt, and the fire
burned still more fiercely.
I threw myself at the feet of my father and im
plored his consent to our union. “Arevoumad?”
thundered he, spurning me from him; “a drab
from the scum of the people, my daughter-in
law . Rather would I sec you and her on the
gallows than at the altar.” What room had I
now tor hope ?—Haifa year passed away; I saw
-ier seldom, but my passion daily increased in vio
lence. In more tranquil hours, I certainly ad
vanced every possible objection that could be
made against such a union; but what influeuce
has cold reason over a heart replete with glowing
passions? Vanquished at length in this conflict,
I fled with her to one of the remotest provinces in
the kingdom, where the hand of the priest united
»s. W ith the little money I had taken with me,
I purchased a small farm. Here Rosalia and my
seii lived by the labor of our hands. These, these,
were the halcyon days of my life.—Beneath the

more blisslul years, continued to taste the delights
of conjugal and parental love, out of the cup of
human felicity.
One evening, on my return from the chase. 1
found my father at home with my wife. The
spectacle excited sensations which it is impossible
to express. Rosalia, penetrated with gratitude* .
was embracing his knees—my little boy was ba

threw me senseless on his bosom, for bis consent
was alone wanting to complete the measure of my
happiness. In a word, it was the greatest festi- ■

I left him, and accompanied by his servant, ar

found my way back to the mansion of my uncle.
Most certainly there are men guilty of the
greatest crimes who are proudly condemned by
the multitude, but who, were we acquainted with
their history, would not only be found deserving
of indulgence, but perhaps of esteem.
Steamboat Burnt.—The St. Louis papers
of the 28th ult. mention the destruction by fire
and gunpowder of the steamboat Belle of Mis
souri, while on her way from New Orleans to St. -
i ouis. It appears that on the evening of the
25 th. she stopped near L berty, Illinois, ior wood,
when the alarm was given that the boat was on
fire. All efforts to subdue it were unavailing,
and in five or ten minutes the entire boat was in -
a blaze.
The passengers hurried ash re at the first
alarm, and very little of their baggage was saved.
Soon afterwards the fire communicated to about
150 kegs of gunpowder on board, which explod
ed with fearful violence, and made a total wreck
of the brat.
• Nothing hut the fact that the boat was at shore
saved the passengers, as the explosion must have
killed ail. It is said there were nearly 200 pas
sengers, chiefly Germans, some of whom, it is
supposed, lost large amounts. One man had
sl6 000 in gold and silver, and only saved what
in the hurry of the moment he could cram into •
his pockets. The captain was the last man to >
leave the boat.
It is said that when the alarm was given three,
German girls, deck passengers, who were travel- •
ing without a protector, exhibited a singular de
gree of spirit and energy. They seized the largo
trunks, containing, probably, all their worldly
store, and succeeded in getting them safely on -
shore. W hat is still m re remarkable is that ihie
was the only baggage saved by the deck passen
ge s.
Even in a scene of desolation and despair like
that occasioned by this calami, y, crime was busy
at her nefarious work. The trunks of the cabin
passengers were broken open and robbed of every
thing contained, consisting of money and
jewels to a large amount.
The Belle belonged to Messrs. Glasgow,
A. Tracy. P. & J» Powell, Hemjistead & Beebe,
Capt. Finch, and estate of Mr. Schalcross; and ' 1
she was insured for $12,000. Baltimore Amer.
