LOUIS OFFON GOELK (E,
of Germany,
The Greatest of Huiias Eej factors.
Citizens of North and South Araeri, ,
To Louis Offon Goelicke, M. D of Germany,
[Europe,j belongs the imperishable 1 nor of adding
anew and precious doctrine to the s ence of medi
cine—a doctrine which, though vehe: entiy opposed
by many of the faculty, (of which 1 is a valuable
member,) he proves to be as well fc nded in truth
as any doctrine of Holy Writ—a doc cine, upon the
verity of which are suspended the ii es of millions
of our race, and which he boldly chf lenges his op
posers to refute, viz: Consumption a disease al
ways occasioned by a disordered st; e of Vis Vitae
(or Life Principle) of the human bt y; (£/ often
secretly lurking in the system so years before
there is the least complaint of the L; igs Jffo —and
which may be as certainly, though i it so quickly,
cured, as a common cold or a simple 1 jadache. An
invaluably precious doctrine this, a P imparts an
important lesson to the apparently h althy of both
sexes, teaching them that this insii ons foe may
be an unobserved inmate of their “ ( ayey houses”
even while tliey imagine themselve secure from
its attacks, teaching them thatV/iegr. 1 1 secret in the
art of preserving heilth is to pluck it the disease
when in the blade, and not wait till . e full grown
ear.
This illustrious benefactor of man 5 also entitled
to youi unfeigned gratitude, and the latitude of a
world, for tne invention of his mate, ess Sanative,
—whose healing fiat may justly ciai i for it such a
title, since it has so signally trium ned o ver our
great common enemy, Consum tion, both in
the fust and last stages, —a medic le wl ich has
thoroughly tilled the vacuum in the A ateria Aledica,
and thereby proved itself the fff Co/ nieror of Phy
sic iansjff) —a medicine, for whic, all mankind
will have abundant cause to bless ie beneficent
hand of a kind Providence, —a nu icine whose
wondrous virtues have been so glowi gly pourtray
ed even by sline of our clergy, in heir pastoral
visits to tee sick chamber ;by whic means they
often become the happy instruments changing de
sponding into hope, sickness into ht Ith, °ud sad
of friends into joyfulness

GOELICKE’S MATCHLESS S NATIVE,
A medicine of more value to mar ;han the vast
mines of Austria, or even the unit' 1 treasures of
our globe, —a medicine, which is ol lined equally
from the vegatable, animal and mint ai kingdoms,
and thus possesses a threefold powe —a medicine,
wuicli, though designed as a remed. for consump
tion solely, is possessed of a myste ous influence
over many diseases of the human sy; cm, —a medi

are daily witnessing its astonishing ures ot many
whom they had lesigned to the gras of the Insa

A certificate from three jnembers t ' the Medical
Profession in Germany, in 1 n ope.
We, the undersigned, praciitionc. of medicine
in Germany, are well aware that, y our course,
we may forfeit the friendship of son ■ of the facul
ty, but not of its benevolent raembei , who are un
influenced by sedish motives, the gh we shall
refrain from an expression of our pinion, either
of the soundness or unsoundness of Dr. ooelick’s
new doctrine, we are happy to say hat 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 I . Louis Offen
Goelick first came before the Gen an public, as
the pretended discoverer of a new c 'Ctrine and a
new medicine, we held him in tli highest con
tempt. believing and openly pronom ing him to be
a base impostor and the prince of qu -ks. But, on
hearing so much said about the Sana ve, against it
and for it, we were induced, from ra fives of curi
osity merely, to make trial of its i puted virtues
upon a number of oft most hopeless patients; and
we now deem it our bounden duo (even at the
expense of self-interest) publicly t acknowledge
its eificacy in curing not only coi umption, but
other fearful maladies, which we h ve heretofore
believed to be incurable. Our co tempt for the
discoverer of this medicine w r as at c ce swallowed
up in our utter astonishment at thi e unexpected
results; and, as amends for our abt e of him, we
do frankly confess to the world, th t we believe
him a philanthropist, who does hono to the proles
skn, and to our country, which gave dm birth.
The recent adoption of this medi me into some
of our European hospitals, is a sutli nt guaranty
that it performs all promises. It *eded not our
estimony,for wherever it is used it its own best
wi ness. HERMAN ET.VIUI .ER, m. d.

THE MATCHLESS SANATIVE -By an article

DR. JAYNE’S
OLEAGINOUS HAIR TONIC.
Copy of a letter from Dr. S. S. Fitch, dated
Philadelphia, May It), 1838.
DR* JAYNE —Dear Sir, —1 feet that 1 can
hardly say enough to you in favor of Jayne's
*1 Oleaginous Hair Tonic , prepared by you. My 1
hair had been falling olf about two years, and had I
become very thin, threatening speedy baldness, |
when I commenced using this remedy. In about ;
one week, it ceased to fall olf. 1 have used it now
about three months, and have as full and thick a
head of hair a* I can possibly desire. I have
recommended its use to a number of my friends,
who ah speak we 1 of it. If faithfully employed*
I have no doubt o. its general success. I mar add
that before using the Tonic, 1 ha I iried aimost all
the various articles employed for the hair, such as
the Macassar Oil, all the different preparations of
Bear’s Oil, Vegetable Hair Oil, &c &c., without
experiencing much, if any, benefit. Respectfully j
yours, S. S. Fitch, No. 172 Chesnut street.
y_J J Before Dr. Fitch used this Tonic lus ha r be- \
gan to be gray, but since then there is not a gray i
hair to be found on his head.
Philadelphia, May 11, 1838.
Dr. Jayne —Dear Sir, —I cheerfully and with i
pleasure submit the following to vou, with the i
liberty of your making it public, should you have !
the desire: —For several months past my hair had :
been rapidly falling off, so much so indeed that by I
passing my fingers lightly through it, I could obtain ;
a quantity in my hand. I had tried all the sash- i
ionable Oils of the day, without having received
the slightest sensible benefit. The only resource ;
that seemed left to me, was to have my head shav- !
ed and wear a wig. Having, through a friend who 1
had prolitted by its use, heard of the remarkable
cures effected by i ne’s feaginous Hair Tonic,
sold by you, I was induced, as a dernier resort, to
try it. I have used two bottles, and am pleased to j
say, that a;ter a few applications, my hair ceased I
entirely from coming out, the young "hair made its
appearance in great abundance, and that now I
have a fine, luxuriant growth, and believe it to be
the best remedy ever yet discovered A fair trial
will be its best recommendation. Independently j
of its virtues as a restorative and preventive, it
imparts to the hair a fine healthy, glossy appear- i
ance, it soft and flexible, which will
make it an invaluable acquisition for the toilet of
every one at all desirous of beautifying that great
est of adornments of the sac hair.
Returning my most sincere thanks for saving
me from premature baldness, by the use of the j
above Tonic, I am, dear Sir, your ooedient servant,

Dr. D Jayne, — Sir — l take pleasure in inform- j
ing you that the bottle of Jayne’s Hair Tonic,
which 1 obtained of you last October, has proved
most satisfactory and successful. My hair had for j
a long time been exceedingly thin. But for two i
or three years past it had so fallen out that my
head had become almost entirely bald. I was un- j
der the necessity of concealing the baldness by
combing the hair on the sides over it But now,
after using about half of a bottle of the “Tonic,”
I have as luxuriant growth of hair as I ever had.

mo, instructing the Committee of Elections to
''report forthwith which five of the ten indi
viduals claiming seats from the State of New
Jersey, received the greatest number of lawful
votes from the whole State for Representatives
in the Congress of the United States at the
election oj 1838, in said State, with all the
evidence of that fact tn their possession • Pro
vided, That nothing herein contained shall
he so construed as to prevent or delay the ac
tion of said committee in taking testimony or
deciding the said case upon the merits of the
election." The committee submit the follow
ing
report:
While the committee, from the commencement
of its labors in this important case, have been ac
tuated by the most anxious desire to do justice to
the individual claimants, to the ancient and hon
orable State lor whose service thev are maintain
ing an animated contest, and to the whole Amer
ican people, who have a deep and abiding inter
est in preserving the purity of elections; and while
for securing so valuable a result, the committee
had marked out a course somewhat different from
that which seems now to be prescribed bv the
House, they cheertully yield to its authority; and
so lar as they can ascertain its intention, they
have no other inclination than to give it ample
and speedy effect.
The committee, however, have encountered no
inconsiderable difficulty in harmonizing all the
terms of the resolution with that intention, which,
from the circumstances of the case, as well as
from the more prominent clauses of the resolution
itself, they must understand to have governed the
action ol the House. To give every word in the
resolution the full force of a literal interpretation,
would be, perhaps, to raise such a conflict be
tween the parts as to disable the whole. But
instead of separating it into parts, the whole res
olution should be so construed as to give expres
sion to a distinct intention, which is capable of
bring ascertained and effectuated. As a portion
of the House, the members of the committee are
not ignorant of the importance that was attached
to the insertion of the word "lawful,” before the
word “votes,” in the resolution. Nor can they
overlook the fact that connected with the propo
sition to insert, was thu motion to s.nke out ano
ther word, utterly inconsistent with thatbroid
and searching investigation which the insertion
ol the word “lawful," (without reference to oth
er expressions in the resolution, or to the posture
ol the caseitsejl) would seem to demand.
The House had referred to the committee the
whole subject matter of the controversy, and with
it a mass of testimony having no application to
any inquiry, short of the merits of the election,
i he committee had, us was well known to the
House, entered upon this inquiry, and had adop
ted such measures for the procurement of testi
mony as woulc probably probe to the core all
frauds and illegalities. In the prosecution of this
investigation a delay had occurred, the deplora
ble effects of which were as manifest to the com
mittee as to the House.
Wuen the proposition to instruct was original
ly introduced as an amendment to the application
with which the committee had come before the
House, its intent was clear that a report should
be immediately made of the names of those who
had received the greatest number of votes at the
last Congressional election in New Jersey. If
any thing more was wanting to explain the mean
ing of tliis proposition, it is to be found in the
provi o which was added, and which clearly in
dicated that the action which the House was
moved to demand, did not contemplate an inter
ference with the course adopted by the committee
for the “ taking of testimony, and deciding the
case upon the merits of the election."
Under these circumstances, if the proposition
to strike out the word -forthwith,” and insert the
word "lawful," had fully succeeded, there would
still have remained that prominent clause of pro
viso ; and it might well have been understood,
that, notwithstanding the omission of the word
I "forthwith," the Hou*e desired an immediate re
! port; and that, notwithstanding the insertion of
| the word "lawful," the House contemplated that
; the report should be independent ol testimony,
now under the process ol being obtained, for the
purpose of deciding the election upon its merits.
Upon what basis, then, could such a report be
constructed ? Manifestly not upon the partial, in
conclusive, and incompetent testimony as :o the
legality of votes now in the possession of the
committee. The House cannot have contem
plated a report, involving an investigation of the
ballot boxes, without allowing lime or opportunity
( for that investigation to be thorough.
At the same time, the committee cannot en
! tirely overlooked the word “ lawful ,” or suite
that from the resolution which was inserted upon
a contest so close as to require a casting vote for
decision. Did this word stand disconnected with,
or unqualified by, the various considerations al
■ ready alluded to, no doubt could be entertained
as to its effect. It would lead to a thorough and
final purgation of the polls, and would delay a
report to that period, to which it was well known
to the House that the committee had postponed
a decision upon the question of ultimate right.
There is but one other basis left, and that is
the prima facie case upon the returns of the lo
cal officers of the several polls ; and the nature of
the controversy taken into consideration, il can
scarcely be doubted that to this basis the resolu
tion looked,
If this conclusion might reasonably have been
reached, in the event of the complete and coeval
success of the motions to strike out and insert,
how much more easily is it attained when the re
solution is found armed with the pungent word
“ forthwith," quickening the action of the com
mittee, and declaring opposition to the long de
lay which had been found inseparable from a
thorough investigation into the legality of the
votes.
If, therefore, the word “ lawful,” surrounded
as it is by every thing which negatives the idea
of a mere adherence to the original course of the
committee, can be made to harmonize with the
context of the resolution, and the circumstances
under which it was adopted, by every sound rule
of construction, that end should rather be attain
ed by limiting the meaning of that word, than by
bending the rsason and language of ail the rest
(if that were possible) to its strongest and am
plest signification.
1 he committee are therefore of opinion that
they correctly construe that word with the con
text, when they limit its signification to that pri
ma facie lawfulness of votes which arises upon
their reception at polls held in conformity with
law; and in in thus limiting its signification,
they feel themselves sustained by the general lan
guage and spirit of the resolution and by the sit
uation of the case itself.
The committee are confirmed in this construc
tion, and the course consequent thereon, by the
consideration that any judgment looking beyond
the face of the polls, which they might base upon
the inconclusive testimony in their possession,
would he unsatisfactory to the House unjust to
the parties, and calculated to produce enormous
conclusions in relation to a mass of facts which
appear to be verified by the oaths of voters, hut
which, either because of the extia judicial ad
ministration of the oaths, or the want of due no
tice to the opposite parties have been rejected as
not sufficiently proven. It is proper, however, to
stale that, should all the votes proven to be ille
gal by competent testimony , be deducted from
those who received the greatest number at the
polls, which appear to have been held in con
formity with law , the result would not affect the
right of any candidate to a scat.
With this explanation, which they have con
sidered due to the House and to themselves, the
committee will now proceed to examine the alle
gations against the validity of certain township
elections, as far as such examination can be made
upon the testimony in their possession.
Upon th:s branch of the case, the claimants
holding the Governor’s commissions, claim—
**" Ist. That , apart from their not being rec. ived
in time to be counted according to law, the votes
of Millville should be set aside for the fraudu
lent and illegal conduct of the officers of elec
tion,in proclaiming their intention to receive
the votes of aliens , and in receiving a large num
ber of such knowingly, and in violation of the
laws of the S/ace.
Without inquiring into the effect of these
charges, if they were substantiated by competent
ami satistactory testimony, it is sufficient to state
that they are unsupported by any testimony in
the possession of the committee.
2d. They allege that, apart from all defects and
irregularities in the return, the votes of i-'outh
Amboy should be set aside, because one of the
officers ol election duly chosen, was unlawfully
prevented from acting, and another substituted in
his place, who acted and signed the list, &c., and
because the board, thus unlawfully constituted,
received a large number of alien votes contrary
to law.
In support of these allegations, numerous de
popositions have been produced, but without ex
pressing an opinion, whether, if satisfactorily
proved, they would constitute sufficient evidence
of fraud to set aside the votes of this township, it
is only necessary to state that the evidence was
taken exparte , without sufficient notice, and has
been rejected by the committee as incompetent
to be considered in this case.
3d. It is further claimed, that the poll held at
Saddle River in Bergen county, should be set a
side : Because at least eight votes given for them
were fraudulently abstracted from the ballot box,
and as many for their opponents fraudulently sub
stituted : Because in making out the list of votes
in said township, at least eight votes less than
were given for them were counted in their favor,
and at least as many were counted for their op
ponents, more than they received : and because
the list of votes in said township bears upon its
face evidence of mistake or fraud.
In support of these charges, the depositions of
numerous voters have been submitted ; but being
taken exparte , and without sufficient notice,
they have been rejected by the committee, as in
competent testimony.
It is also claimed that the polls held at the
townships Newton, Haderton, and Vernon, in
Sussex county, should be set aside, for reasons
that will more tully appear by reference to the
document marked A, accompanying this report.
But there is competent evidence before the com
mittee in support of these allegations.
Having thus disposed, for the present, of the
various objections to the validity of the elections
held at the several townships claimed to be set
aside, the committee will now proceed to ascer
tain five of the ten claimants received
the greatest number of lawful votes” at the late
Congressional election in New Jersey, accoiding
to the several returns purporting upon their face
to be made by officers duly authorised to act.
The committee take as the basis of their cal
culation, the statement upon which the Governor
and Privy Council of New Jersey made their de
cision, and which is found in the minutes of the
proceedings of the Governor and Privy Council.
From this statement, it appears that the total
of voting for each ol the ten claimants were as
follows:
For Philemon Dickerson, 27,951
Peter D. Vroom, 27,990
Daniel B. Ryall, 27.939
William R. Cooper, 27,954
Joseph K lie, . 27,924
John B. Aycrigg, 28,150
John B. P, A ax well 28,239
William Halsted, 28 192
Chas. C, Stratton, 28.262
Thomas Jones Yorke, 28,177
r’hilemon Dickinson, 3
John B. Acrigg. 1
In this statement, as it appears to the satisfac
tion of the committee, and has not been denied
or the contrary pretended, the votes received at
the townships of Millville and Amboy are not in
cluded.
The state of those polls is exhibited by the
documents (marked C and D) accompaying this
report, whereby it appears that the total of votes
of the two townships, for each of the ten clai
mants, was as follows;
Philemon Dickerson, 602
Peter D. Vroom,' 608
Daniel B. Ryall, 502
William R. Cooper, 501
Joseph Kille, 501
J. B. Aycrigg, 144
J. B. P. Maxwell, 144
William Halsted, * 145
C. C. Stratton, 144
T. J. Yorke, 144
These votes being added respectively to those
set forth in the documents marked B, already re
icrred to as the basis of the Governor’s commis
sions, the following results are exhibited, to
wit:
FOll PHILEMON DICKERSON.
