I q q q’3 q [Translated from the German.] LOUIS OFFON GOELICKE, of Germany , The Greatest ok Human; Benefactors. Citizens of North and South Africa, To Louis Offon Goelicke, I*l. D., of Germany, [Europe,] belongs the imperishable honor of adding anew 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-j- i doctlire, upon the verity of which are suspended : the lives ol millions of our race, and which he bolder challenges his op posers to refute, viz; Consumption is a disease al ways occasioned by a disordered state ot Vis V itae (or Life Principle) of the huxrUii body: (fj" often secretly lurking in the systeHi for years before there is the least complaint of 1»l]e Lungs and which may be as certainly, not so quickly, cured, as a common cold or a sin Sple headache. An invaluably precious doctrine tills, as D imparts an important lesson to the apparently healthy of both sexes, teaching them that tills! .insidious foe may be an unobserved inmate of th< ,;r “ clayey houses” even while they imagine themselves secure from its attacks, teaching them that ify great secret in the art of preserving health is topifyck out the disease when in the blade, and not wait 'fill the full grown ear. This illustrious benefactor ofjman is-elso entitled to youi unfeigned gratitude, any, the gratitude of a world, for the invention of his fyatchless Sanative, —whose healing tlat may justb:;claim for it such a title, since it lias so signally tlnumphed over our great common enemy, j Consumption, both in the first and last stages, —a rlpdicine which has thoroughly tilled the vacuum in’jtihe MateriaMedica, anj thereby t roved Itself the (£; | Conqueror of Phy sic iansfff} —a medicine, for which all mankind will have abundant cause to bljCiss the beneficent hand of a kind Providence,—il medicine whose wondrous virtues have been so pljowingly pourtray ed even by S3ine of our clergy!; in their pastoral visits to toe sick chamber ; by means they often become the happy instruments of changing de sponding into hope, sickness intj.; health, and sad of friends into joyfulncss i q q q !3 3 GOELICKE'S MATCHES?I S' SANATIVE, A medicine of more value to* man than the vast mines of Austria, or even the -united treasures ot our globe, —a medicine, which £3 obtained equally from the vcgatable, animal and-ooineral kingdoms, and thus possesses a threefold power, —a medicine, which, though designed as a remedy for consump tion solely, is possessed of a irwsterious influence over many diseases of the humaji system,—a medi cine, which begins to be valued> y physicians, who are daily witnessing its astonishing cures ot many whom they had resigned to the prasp of 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 Sv dollars* p r half ounce.

We, the undersigned, practitioners of medicine in Germany, are well aware that;, by our course, we may forfeit the friendship or some of the facul ty, but not of its benevolent members, who are un influenced by selfish motives. 'I hough we shall refrain from an expression of «)nr opinion, either of the soundness or unsoundness; of Dr. Goelick’s new doctrine, wc are happy to fay that we deem his Sanative too valuable not; to be generally known —for what our eyes behold and our ears hear, wc must believe. ; We nereby state, that when Dr. Lours Otter! Goclick first came before the ■ icman public, as the pretended discoverer of a now doctrine and a new medicine, we held him iif the highest con tempt, believing and openly pronouncing him to be a base impostor and the prince o| quacks. But, on hearing so much said about the tMnative, against it and for it, we were induced, fronj motives of curi osity merely, to make trial of reputed virtues upon a number of our most hopif ess patients; and we now deem it our bounder, fluty (even at the expense of self-interest) public! r to acknowledge its clficacy in curing not only* -onsumption, but other fearful maladies, which v| have heretofore believed to be incurable. Our|kontempt for the discoverer of this medicine was H once swallowed up in our utter astonishment a*’.aese unexpected results; and, as amends for our .abuse of him, we do frankly confess to the world? that we believe him a philanthropist, who docs hmior to the profes skn, and to our country, which e him birth. The recent adoption of this n&jdicine into some of our European hospitals, is a sufficient guaranty that it perforins all promises. j ; t needed not our estimony, for wherever it is use.| it is its own best wi ness.'

Copy of a letter from Dr, S. S. Fitch, dated . Philadelphia, May 10, 1838. DR. JAYNE —Dear Sir, —I feel that I can hardly say enougli to you in favor of Jayne's \ Oleaginous Hair Tonic, prepared by you. My t 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. I have used it now f about three months, and have as full and thick a i head of hair as I can possibly desire. I have recommended its use to a number of my friends who all speak well of It. If faithfully employed’ I have no doubt of its general success. I may add that before using the Tonic, I had tried almost all the various articles employed for the hair, such as , the Macassar Oil, all the different preparations of Boar’s Oil, Vegetable -Hair Oil, &c. &c., without experiencing much, if any, benefit. Respectfully yours, S. S. Fitch, No. 172 Chesnut street. 7 (Ty’Before Dr. Fitch used this Tonic his ha r be gan to be gray, but since then there is not a gray hair to be found on his head. Philadelphia, May 11, 1838. Dr. Jayne —Dear Sir, —I cheerfully and with pleasure submit the following to you, with the 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 passing my fingers lightly through it, 1 could obtain a quantity in my hand. I had tried all the fash 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 had profitted by its use, heard of the remarkable cures effected by «. yne’s Oleaginous Hair Tonic, sold by you, I was induced, as a dernier resort, to try it. I have used two bottles, and arn pleased to say, that after a few applications, my hair ceased * 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 of its virtues as a restorative and preventive, it imparts to the hair a line healthy, glossy appear ance, rendering 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 above Tonic, I am, dear Sir, your obedient servant, L. Rinaldo Sank, No. 108 Walnut st. Copy of a letter from the Rev. C. C. Park, Pastor of the Baptist Church at Haddonfleld, N. J. Haddonfield, N. J., Feb. 12, 1839. Dr. D. Jayne,—Sir—l take pleasure in inform ing you that the bottle of Jay-ne’s Hair Tonic, which 1 obtained of you last October, has proved most satisfactory and successful. My hair had for a long time been exceedingly thin. But for two or three years past it had so fallen out that my head had become almost entirely bald. I was un ( 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. C. C. Park.

Augusta 1 Maria’s Dower* In the year 1540, a fisherman having landed in front of the palace of St. Mark, crossed this celebrated piace, and stopped before the door of an inn, on which was very roughly painted a lion emblematic of Venice. The man was tall and athletic—his dark complexion and brown hair had that warm coloring indicative of strength and intelligence so peculiar to inhabitants of southern countries; but his eyes had lost their animated expression and thoughts of a most painful nature bowed down the head of this robust gondolier. On entering the tavern, he perceived in the most obscure corner of the room a stranger, who appeared buried in deep meditation. He too had one of those manly and imposing countenances which denote moral energy. His expressive face reflected the flames of a thousand ardent passions and there w as seen inconlestible signs of the bril liant mission which God had given him. His dress was simple in the extreme ; a doublet and trunk hose of black velvet covered his muscular limbs; a silk cap sloped out over the temples, and with two bands tied under the chin according to the fashion of the times, partly conealed a lux uriant head of hair, the ringlets of which were a little verging on the grey, fell gently over his neck. ‘ Ginnettini V sab! the gondolier, addressing a man with a broad chest and red face, who was walking about the tavern, ‘ do you still persevere in your refusal ?’ ‘I *k>!* answered the Venitian. ‘ I am too poor to be your son-in-law, am I not 1 Bctore you consider the happiness ofiyour daughter you think of her fortune ! But to per suade you, Ginnettini, must I recall to your mind the debt which is due to me ? Have you iorgot ten that I saved your life at Lepanto, when all Venice, men and women, were armed to defend the Republic against the soldiers of Barbarossa? Do you know, that reared with Maria, vve swoso from our infancy neither of us should ever belong to another, and renewed this oath when our age gave to our attachment strength and solidity ? Do you wish to cause both her misery and mine? Are you a Doge to be so ambitious ? Are you a patrician to be so ungrateful?’ ‘ No, but I am rich, Barbarigo.’ ‘ And I shall become so, Ginnettini; I have vi gorous arms, an enterprising mind, courage, youth, and confidence in God; fortune may, be fore long, come and seat herself in my gondola.’ * A lunatic’s dream!’ said the tavern keeper, ‘ Who knows! ’ replied the fisherman; ‘Lau rent de Medicis was a shop keeper; Francis Stor za was a coward. Why should I not be a gener al V ‘ Because, for three men which the Almighty favors, there are thousands he disdains, Barbari go. One thing is certain, that I will never be the father-in-law of a man whose only fortune is a barque with sails. It would be better for Ma ria ’ ‘ To be sold to a patrician, than be the wife of an honest gondolier. You would rather she would sleep in the lap of degraded opulence, than live obscurely, but respected I’ ‘ Certainly. Maria has attracted the attention of the nephew of the proveditor; this young lord paid me a visit and offered me ’ ‘To marry her?’ ‘Not exactly—as popular as the Venetian aris tocracy aspires to become, they do not make so free with their heraldry.’ ‘To purchase her, then V replied Barbarigo; ‘most infamous! and would you then, sell the honor of your daughter, Ginnettini?’ The stranger, who had listened with much cu riosity to the conversation of these two Vene tians, rose from his seat, and laying his hand on the shoulder of Barbarigo, ‘Gondolier,’ said he, ‘Maria shall be your wife.’ ‘Never!’ ‘.Sir Jew, if this man bring you 2,000 pistoles on the marriage portion ?’ ‘O ! then Barbarigo should be my son-in-law, and I would join the contract with a joyful hand; but reflect, Signor, that this poor boy’s only pro perty are the four planks of his gondola, and that unless he obtains ducal signet ’ ‘No such luck ; but I promise, you shall have that sum before night.’ ‘But where shall I take it from, Signor V mut tered the surprised gondolier. ‘Not from the pocket of my doublet, my brave fellow, for I am not much richer than a lazaroni. There is so much miseiy to relieve between Flor ence and Venice, that I should not find there a noble. But be not afraid, my poverty is the sis ter of opulence, and my talent fills my purso with gold, as soon as my benevolence has emp tied it.’ Whilst talking thus, the stranger opened his port folio ; he took out a parchment and spread it on the table; in the space of a few minutes he drew a hand with such marvellous skill, that al though perfectly ignorant of the art, the gondo lier could not help uttering an exclamation of surprise. £l;,‘Here,’ said the unknown artist, giving to the fisherman the hasty drawing, ‘take this parch ment to Pierre Bambo, who is now in the palace of St. Mark ; tell him that a painter destitute of money wishes to sell it for 2,000 pistoles.’ ‘2,000 pistoles!’ exclaimed the tavern keeper, in the utmost surprise, ‘that man is crazy. I would not give him one zechin for it.’ In the course of an hour the gondolier return ed, with the price that was asked, to which the Secretary of Leo X. had joined a letter request ing the artist in the warmest terms, to honor him with a visit. The next day Maria and Barbarigo were mar ried in the church of St. Stephano. The stranger wished to contemplate the begin ning of their happiness by being present at their nuptials; and when the gondolier, frantic with joy, ana penetrated with feelings of gratitude, entreated him to tell his name, he answered that he was called Michael Angelo. Twenty years after this little incident, Anto nio Barbarigo, by one of those extraordinary chances, of which God only possesses the secret, was promoted to the rank of General of the Ve netian Republic. But however intoxicating to the former fisherman was this unexpected eleva tion, he did not forget his illustrious benefactor; and when Bounarotti died at Rome, alter a mag nificent old age, and the most brilliant career ev er known to an artist, the former gondolier, with bis own band, wrote under the Latin epithet com posed by the successor of Paul HI. for his favor ite, those two lines of gratituoe which time has respected, and which may still be seen on the mausoleum of the great mam As to the immortal chef d ’ dseuvre the work of a few minutes, it was brought from Italy in the cartridge box of one of Napoleon’s corporals. Whiskey drinking never conducted wealth in to a man’s pocket, happiness to his family, or respectabilily to his character—therefore whiskey is a non-conductor, and consequently it is i*e«t to let it alone; nevertheless, it is hard to resist a good whiskey punch of a cold night, when one is pressed to drink.
