Q Q MU [Translated from the German.] LOUIS OFFON GOELICIiE, of Germany , The Greatest of Human Bents .ctohs. Citizens of Nor*h and South America, To Louis Offon Goelicke, M. D., of Germany, [Europe,] belongs the imperishable honor of adding a new and precious doctrine to the science of medi cine—a doctrine which, though vehemently opposed by many of the faculty, (of which he is a valuable member,) he proves to be as well founded in truth as any doctrine of Holy Writ —a doctrine, upon the verity of which are suspended the lives of mi* ans of our race, and which he boldly challenges his op posers to refute, viz : Consumption is a disease al ways occasioned by a disordered stau; of Vis V itae ’(or Life Principle) of the human body: QQ=* often secretly lurking in the system for years before there is the least complain! f the Lungs Jff)— and which may be as certainly, though nut so quickly, cured, as a common cold or a simple headache. An invaluably precious doctrine this, as it imparts an important lesson to the apparently healthy of both sexes, teaching them that this insidious foe may be an unobserved inmate of their “ clayey houses” even while they imagine themselves secure from its attacks, teaching them th&tthe great secret in the art of preserving health is to pluck out. the disease when in the blade, and not wait till the full grown ear . | This illustrious benefactor of man is |ilso entitled to youi unfeigned gratitude, and the gr.Vtitude of a world,for the invention of his matchless Sanative, —whose healing tiat may justly claim lor it such a title, since it has so signally triumphed over our great common enemy, fff Consumption, both in the first and last stages, —a medicine which has thoroughly filled the vacuum in the MateriaMedica, anj thereby proved itself the Conqueror of Phy sic ians ,r~~D —a medicine, for which all mankind will have abundant cause to bless the beneficent hand of a kind Providence, —a medicine whose wondrous virtues have been so glowingly pourtray ed even by same of our clergy, in their pastoral visits to tee sick chamber ; by which means they often become the happy instruments of changing de sponding into hope, sickness into health, anu sad of friends into joyfulness qqn § 3 GOELICKE'S MATCHLESS SANATIVE, A medicine of more value to man than the vast mines of Austria, or even the united treasures of our globe, —a medicine, which is obtained equally from the vegatable, animal and mineral kingdoms, and thus possesses a three-fold power,—a medicine, which, though designed as a remedy for consump tion solely, is possessed of a mysterious influence over many diseases of the human system, —a medi cine, which begins to be valued by physicians, who are daily witnessing-its astonishing cuies of .many whom they had resigned to the grasp ol the Insa tiable Grave. DOSE of the Sanative, for adults,one drop; for children, a half-drop; and for infants, a quarter drop ; the directions explaining the manner of ta king a half or a quarter drop. Price —Three and one-third rix dollars ($2,50) p r half ounce. German-coin, value 75 cents. Q e Q 3 , Q A certificate from three members of the Medical Profession in Germany, in Europe. We, the undersigned, practitioners of medicine in Germany, are well aware that, by our course, we may forfeit the friendship of some «i the facul ty, but not of its benevolent members, v- ho are un influenced by selfish motives. Though we shall refrain from an expression of our opin ion, either of the soundness or unsounclness of Dr. Goe.ick’s new doctrine, we are happy to say that we deem his Sanative too valuable not to be generally known—for what our eyes behold and our ears hear, we must believe. We hereby state, that when Dr. Louis Offen Goelick first came before the German public, as the pretended discoverer of a new doctrine and a new medicine, we held him in the highest con tempt, believing and openly pronouncing him to be a base impostor and the prince of quacks. But, 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 virtues upon a number of our moot hopeless patients; and we now deem it our bounden duty (even at the expense of self-interest) publicly to acknowledge its elficacy in curing not only consumption, but other fearful maladies, ■which we have heretofore believed to be incurable. Our contempt for the discoverer of this medicine was at once swallowed up in our utter astonishment at these unexpected results ; and, as amends for our abuse of him, we do frankly confess to the world, that we belie\e him a philanthropist, who does honor to the profes sion, and to our country, which gave him birth. The recent adoption of this medicine into some of our European hospitals, is a sufficient guaranty that it performs all promises. It needed not our estimony, for wherever it is used it is it s own best wi ness. HERMAN ETMULLER, m. d. v. WALTER VAN GAULT, m. d. ADOLPHUS WERNER, m. d. Germany, December 10, 1886. b fc 6 6 6 5 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 te—an etfectual and valuable medicine, worthy the serious attention of every consumptive person, and -e sick generally. MATCHLESS SANATIVE.— David S. Row land, the General American Agent for this mighty medicine, (invented bj the immortal Goelicke of Germany) has great pleasure in publishing the fol ; lowing highly important letter from a respectable gentleman in New-York, which he has aeceiied, with many others of a similar character -also \ery I interesting intelligence from several of his Agents, as will be seen below —which, together with the certificate from three eminent German physicians, must forever establish the character of the Sanative as being without a parallel in the history of medi cine. 1 Testimony No.- 1. A letter from H. F. Sherwood, Esq., of New-York. QQ Q Q New-York, Oct. §-, 1837. Dr. D. S. Rowland, —Sir: About the middle of ouly last, I accidentally noticed in a newspaper the advertisement of the Matchless Sanative, ilor which I perceived you were agent, and which prose >sed ♦to be a sovereign remedy for consumption. * A.s my wife was then fast wasting away with his dreadful disease, and as our family physician daily and anxiously endeavoring to restore her to health without success, I stepped ever to his 1 he alth and asked him if he had any objections to I taking this medicine. He repat J thujt ne was j Perfectly willing Mrs. Sherwood should ti?ke that or I otner tnedicin sue rmgut cnoose,uui;!he though it could do he rno good, as her lungs were rapidly consuming, 2nd no human means could save her.” 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 course, she suffered considerably for the first eight or ten days, but was shortly able to eat and drink freely, without the last inconvenience. Within sou r weeks from her first using the med icine, her feeble health and wasted form began to put on new strergth, and she has been gainingfrom day' to day until the present moment, to the utter astonishment of our family physician and friends.— She is now er joying a comfortable (though notper feet) state of h ealth, 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 she owes her live to the Sanative alone: and as there are probably many consumptive per sons in the United States, who have not yet heard of this medicine, measures ought speedily' to be adopted to have it more generally know r n. A number of persons in our neighborhood, I un derstand, are taking it for other serious complaints, with very gret.t benefit. I think of going to the South, with my r family, sometime this fall, and in case I do, I will proclaim the virtues of the Sanative in that quarter; for al though some of the physicians here are activelyop 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 a t liberty to publish it. Respectfully, &c. H. F. SHERWOOD. Testimony No. 2. One person in our village, who was considered by his physician to be in a Consumption, has taken the Sanative, and is now well. Another person, subject to epileptic fits, has been greatly benefitted by a short course of this medicine. There can be no question but this medicine has performed won derful cures in t host of cases, 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 to be working similar cures in America to those which have astonished Europe, —Boston Morning Post. 03* For sale by BENJAMIN HALL, Agent, at the Post-Office. dec 9 In accordance with the ostensible views of the Southern Convention.

MILLER, Ex’r. feb 3 6t From Blackwood’s Magazine. The Fireman’s Trial by Fire. A TRUE TIU,. BI R. D. H. All the world remembers, no doubt, the burn ing of the distillery belonging to Mr. B ,at Dublin. On that occasion an adventure happen ed to me which never had, and I hope never will have a parallel. I reside in Dublin, where lam a physician. The evening of the fire, I had gone to the neighborhood of Harold’s Cross to super intend the bathing of one of my patients, whose case was, to me, an object of peculiar interest.— As I was returning about 11 o’clock at night, the glare of light reflected by the clouds in the north west, attracted my notice, and I immediately di rected my steps that way. The distillery was a long structure, supported at one end by an old building forming two wings, and at the other by a similar but perfectly new edifice, in fact, not yet finished. On my arrival, the large yard presented an ex ceedingly animated spectacle, as may be readily conceived. Three engines poured torrents of wa ter over the roofs and into the windows from which the flames were bursting. It was like a battle of the two elements. The whole yard swam in water, which reflected the gushing flames, rendered dazzling by the motion of the men who stood in it ankle deep. The engineers were mounted on their machines, giving orders to those around and above them, bawling through their trumpets to those stationed on the roofs who sometimes disappeared altogether amid the vo lume of smoke which swept gradually upward, and then reappearing, they seemed like bronzed statues, relieved by a back ground of glowing flame. I was not long inactive in such excite ment. and in a few minutes found myself diench ed with water and perspiration. One of the du ties in which I took part, was rolling out from the warehouses in which they were stored, the barrels of spirits, which it was feared would take fire, and render ten-fold the destruction and ex tent of the conflagration. To do this it was ne cessary to pass over a platform of mason work which encased a vast*copper boiler, very deep; the mouth or opening of which was on a level with the platform, and of two or three feet diam eter. At some six feet above our heads was a floor, the beams of which rested in, and extended through the wall, which alone protected us from the flames. After I had made two or three turns on this platform, one of the speculators who had witnessed my exertions, directed my attention to the ends of the joints, which were just taking fire; the floor would undoubtedly soon fall, and perhaps drag down with it the opposite wall, the mortar of which was still wet. I retreated a few steps, but at this moment I saw at the other side of the platform a man belonging to one of the insurance companies, who made a sign to me to give him assistance. Casting my eyes upwards to the floor above, and was scarcely mounted on it before a mass of mason work fell upon us. I know not how I escaped being killed; the ladder was broken in splinters; a whirlwind of smoke, ashes, and flame encircled me, and I was lost—l aould not find the place I had left. I became be wildered ; I attempted to run; a rush of flame stopped me. Then I was just about to be crush ed by a falling beam, for it rained fire around me, when I felt my footing give way, and my ears were greeted by the sonorous sound of surround ing metal. I had fallen into the large copper boil er. Well, thought 1, when my first fears vanish ed, after all I am in greater safety here than above, amid falling timbers and surrounding flame.— And without making any calculations how I was to extricate myself from my prison when the fire was extinguished, I settled myself as well as pos sible in my strange abode, “ to bide my time.” After this I could hear nothing but the falling of timbers and brick, which seemed to strike, re bound and descend again in rapid succession.— It was like a world rolling on above my head. I thought at one time the boiler was going to be crushed but the surrounding mason-work protect ed it. A considerable quantity of rubbish fell into the boiler through the opening. To this rub bish, it will be seen, I owe my life. An enor mous beam fell upon the upper part of it; the copper gave way without breaking, so that there was a great bruise inside. In the midst of the noise, which the concavity of my metal prison rendered perhaps more terri rible by its reverberation, I believed myself for ever lost. I tried to climb up the sides of the boiler. Vain effort! They were smooth as glass. My prison was at least fourteen feet in diameter, and almost as high. It was a cage, from which escape seemed impossible. I began to estimate my chances of getting out, when the whole of tie old wall fell, and the greater part of the wrecit fell around my prison. Despair now seized upon me as I gazed upon the roaring furnace above me. Burning cinders fell about me like a fiery snow. I stood close against the sides of my prison-house, to avoid the fire-brands. Expecting death every instant, I in stinctively shut my eyes and cast down my head, and in my terror gradually sunk upon my knees, awaiting the blow which was to crush me. I was recalled from this state of agony by the glare of bursting flames, which having now free vent, shot up as from a volcano, lighting up my copper house till it shone like gold itself. Although the fire roared in the v*ind, my poor ears rang through my head, and that which passed above, around, within me, no one can conceive, no pen describe. After some time, all this confusion began to be calm, and I bethought me once more how to es cape. To climb along the copper sides was out of the question. I made then a kind of rope out of my clothes, and, fixing a brick at one end, I threw it out of the opening in the belief it would catch into some point over the edge of the open ing, to enable me to mount by it. Vain hope ! the edge of the opening was on a level with the mason-work surrounding it. I cried aloud in the hope of being heard. No answer came. Trap ped with a brick against the resounding walls of my prison; but the noise, which at any other time would have waked half the town, was drowned in the superior noise without—of the thousands in the crowd, of the dying and the workmen. I endeavored to resign myself with patience till the extinguishment of the fire. Then the idea struck me that perhaps I might be heard by call ing through the spout by which the boiler was emptied—a pipe large enough lo admit a man’s arm. This hole was in the bottom of the boiler. I stooped down to put my mouth to the orifice. My hands were covered with wet gloves, so that it was not till I put my lips to the metal that I discovered a frightful truth: the copper was so hot that I could not touch it! I could not think of my horrid situation without shuddering, I jumped up hastily ; I made incredible efforts to climb—to leep out. I might as well have tried to ; scale the heavens! I cried, I bawled out for help till I was hoarse. The hissing of the flames alone answered my ejaculations. I seated myself upon the heap of rubbish, resigning myself to the 1 thought that I was about, literally, to be “ proven in a furnace of brass, seven times heated .” I put my hand to my forehead; it was covered with a cold sweat. 1 took from my pocket my little thermometer, I had| to regulate the bath of my patient. It stood at 40 deg. I placed the ball in contact wiih the copper sides of the boiler; the mercury rose with such rapidity that I feared the tube would burst. Then I remained some time in a state of stupor. My courage abandon* ed me, I confess it, when the thought crossed me of the torments for which I was reserved when the copper attained a red heat, which I had reason to fear would be the case. The thermometer was at 45 deg. Reaumer; but I knew the experience ot Fordyce and Ranks had proved that the living fibre can, for a limited time, withstand a heat of twice that power without decomposing. A ray of hope came to reanimate me, when I thought of the many examples my own studies had furnished me. I recalled the instance of the young girl of Lorochefoulcault, who entered} an oven at a heat of 142 deg. According to Sonnerat, there are fish which live in water at 65 deg., in the springs of Manillas. I endeavored to recollect the names of the plants of which the same author speaks, in the island of Lacon, the roots of which are imbed ded in water of the temperature of 79 deg. At length I tried to convince myself that the copper was heated from the fire above, which would soon diminish, and as I hoped the boiler would then cool. But, alas ! the continued ri sing of the mercury dissipated that feeble hope.— I then sat about calculating at what temperature the metal must arrive before the air around me should become heated to 120 deg., which, I thought I might support without death. But my Hoad be came confused, so that I could not follow up my inquiries. These efforts, however, served to pre serve my presence of mind. I could even take notes, and make the following memorandum, a kind of scientific will, written in view of an evi dent death. The following I threw out of the boiler, attached to a brick : “I am Dr. M ,of street. Whoever finds this paper, let him come to the boiler, in the new building, where lam burning to death.— Bring a ladder with you.” “Half-past twelve I Quick ! Hasten!”— (This and two others I had thrown out in the same manner.) “My will is in the left hand draw of my book case. I wish George N ■■■■ to have my papers. Those which relate to the affair of S , I wish burned up. Mj wet clothes produce around me a cloud of steam. Thermometer at 52°. “26 minutes before one.

I die I pardon my enemies forgive me, heaven!” Feeling myself about to sink, I hastened to wrap my pocket-book in my handkerchief with a handful of small stones and I collected all my strength, for the purpose of throwing it out of my fiery prison. The rapid motion of my arm through the air had the same effect as if I had plunged it into boiling water. Now for the first time, my senses seemed to fail, and a faintness came over me, which made me hoj e I was going to die without falling against the red hot copper. But these symptoms disapi eared, and left me a prey to all the intensity of agony. My lace, neck and shoulders were covered with blisters. I felt that decomposition by fire had commenced in my legs. The fluids of my body seemed absorbed and exhaled by cutaneous and pulmonary respira tion. I believe firmly, that it was this want of fluid that prevented my skin from being convert ed into one immense blister. The word torture is too weak to express what I suffered. In this horrible state of agony, my eyes fell upon the veins of my arms, which were swelled by the want of circulation. The flames died away and left me in darkness—that frightful darkness which rendered visible the dreadful brightness of the burning copper, which on the side of the out let, approached to white heat! * * * A dreadful thought came over my mind—a thought inspired by the devil, and distilled in the fires of hell. The fresh wind of the night brought again over the boiler the dying flames. A mometary light showed me the half burned cloths upon which I had been standing. I seixed my panta loons—l rummaged the pockets—l found some pieces of money, the heat of which had burned the muslin. But it was not money I wanted—it was my knife. I found it, and half opened it. The blade burned my fingers. I cast it Irom me crying, “My God, deliver me from temptation !” My prayer was granted. I heard voices above me —some one approached me ; —they came to my assistance. I was saved ! Six weeks after wards I began to be able to leave my bed.
