QQ9 3 9 [Translated from the German.] 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. * nq9 3 9 GOELICKE'S MATCHLESS SANATIVE, A medicine of more va.ue to man than the vast mines of Austria, or even the united treasures of our globe, —a medicine, which is obtained equiily from the vegatable, animal and mineial kingdc :ns, and thus possesses a threefold power, a medicine, w.iich, laough designed as a remedy for consump tion solely, is possessed ol a mysterious influc see over many diseases of the human system,—a ms-Ai cine, which begins valued by physicians, w ho are daily witnessing its astonishing cures oi many whom they had resigned to the grasp of the Insa tiable Grave.

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. WALTER VAN GAULT, m. o. ADOLPHUS WERNER, M. d. dfrmany, December 10, 1886. (3 fc fe fc t 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. —Boston Morning Post. {ffp For sale by BENJAMIN HALL, Agent, at the Post-Office. dec 9 &S3** S ILCOXSf BROTHERS, Cabinet, | I Chair and Sofa Ware-room, Broad It 63 *! stree.t, opposite Gould, Bulkley&Co.

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 seal. 3 “ °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.

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.

These, these, were the halcyon days of my life.—Beneath the low roof of my cottage I cnjoven greater happi ness than the prince with his diadem or the hero crowned with laurels. Bat let us hasten over these scenes. At the expiration of a year, I press ed a pledge of our love to my bosom; and for two 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 thing his hand with tears of infantile love. Joy 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- ■ val that filial love and gra.ituded ever celebrated. But pardon me stranger, I scarcely know how to proceed. In three days my tt'.fe and child died °f poison , given them by my father—and on the I fourth , d:ed that father by the dagger of his Adieu, stranger.” 6 J He pressed my hand at- parting: the copious tears trickled from his large blue eyes, and attes ted the truth of his narrative. “Adieu !” cried he, “ that was the skull of my wfe !” I depart : , a * * ne oor I turned towards him—“ Will you,” said I, “ever turn again to the society of men 7 He replied, “Never.—all that could im port felicity is consigned to the grave; and, besides I am more serviceable here than I should be with you. lam the captain of a band of robbers; now they oiwy venture to plunder, whereas were it not for me, they would assuredly murder too.” I left him, and accompanied by his servant, ar rived at the skirt of the wood, whence I easily 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.
