To Louis Offon Goelicke, M. D.. ; of Germany,
[Europe,j belongs the imperishable lonor of adding
anew and precious doctrine to the science of medi
cine —a doctrine which, though vehe; rently opposed
by many of tlie lacully, (ot which he is a va'uable
member,) lie proves to be as well fc* u ‘tied in truth
as any doctrine of Holy Writ a doc u me, upon the
verity of which are suspended the lives ol millions
of our race, and which he boldly challenges his op
posers to refute, viz : Consumption i. a disease al

which may be as certainly, though not so quickly,

4 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,
■ve may forfeit the friendship of some ol Ihe lacul- 1
ty, but not of its benevolent members, who are un
influenced by selfish motives, 1 hough we shall
refrain from an expression of our opinion, either
of the soundness or unsoundness of Dr. Goelick s
new doctrine, we are happy to say that we deem
ills Sanative too valuable not to be general!}
known—for what our eyes behold anc. our ears
hear, we must believe. .
We hereby state, that when Dr. Louis Otien
doelick 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
3 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 ol curi
osity merely, to make trial of its reputed virtues
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 e.iicacy in curing not only consuni uion, but
other fearful maladies, which we have heretofore
Relieved to be incurable. Our contempt to the
liscoverer of this medicine was at once swallowed
ip in our utter astonishment at these unexpected
results ; and, as amends for our abuse ol him, we
Jo frankly confess to the world, that we believe
him a philanthropist, who does honor to Lie profes
>icn, and to our country, which gave him birth.
adoption of this medicine into some
of hospitals, is a sufficient guaranty
that uniforms all promises. It needi d not our
estimonv, for wherever it is tiscd it is its own best

MATCHLESS . SANATIVE. — David S. Row
land. the General American Agent for this mighty
medicine, (invented b} the immortal Gcelicke of
Germany) has great pleasure in publishing the fol
lowing highly important letter from a respectable
gentleman in New-Vork, which he has received,
with many others of a similar character— : Iso very
interesting intelligence from several of hi- Agents,
as will be seen below —which, together w th 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.
Testimony No.- 1.
A letter from 11. F. Sherwood, Esq., of Nevf-York.
QQQ 5 3
Nf.w-York, Oct. 9 1837.
Dr. D. S. Rowland, —Sir: About the middle of
ouly last, I accidentally noticed in a newspaper the
advertisement oi the Matchless Sanative, f>r which
I perceived you were azent, and which j tofessed
to be a sovereign remedy for consumption.
As my wife was then fast wasting awav with
his dreadful disease, and as our family physician
wai daily and anxiously endeavoring to res tore her
to health without success, 1 stepped ovtr to his
health and asked him if he had any objeitions to
her taking tins medicine. He replied mat • lie was
perfectly willing Mrs. Sherwood should take th it or
»ny otner menicm sue mignt cnoose,.>uc n ?*!:ough
it could do her no good, as her lungs were rapidly
consume ng, and no human means could save
her.” Still,, the Sanative, being recommended by
three physic ians who had used it in their practice,
she concluded to give it a trial. I sent and pur
chased ii 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 four weeks from her first using the med
icine, her feeble health and wasted form 5 began to
put on new strength, 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 c njoying 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, md no 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 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 in case I do, 1 wilfproclaim
the virtues of the Sanative in that quarter; for al
though some of the 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 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 benetitted
by a short course of this medicine. There can be
no question bur this medicine has performed won
derful cures in a 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 lias lost none of its virtues by crossing the At
lantic —for it appears to be working similar cures
in America to those whffh have astonished Europe.

"When the holy funeral rite was read;
A d every breath on the dark blue ware
Seem’d bush’d, to hallow the friendless dead.
And heavily heaved on the gloomy sea.
The ship that shelter’d that homeless one—
As though Ivis funeral hour should be
\\ lieu the waves were still and the winds were
gone.
And there be lay in his coarse, cold shroud —
And strangers were round the coffinless;
Not a kinsman was seen among that crowd.
No", an eye to weep nor a lip to bless.
No sound from the church’s passing bell
Was echoed along the pathless deep,
The hearts that were far away to tell
Where the Mariner lies in his lasting sleep.
Not a whi per then linger’d upon the air—
O’er hi? body,one moment, his messmates bent;
But the plunging sound of the dead was there—
And the ocean now is his monument !
But many a sigh and many a tear
Shall b« breathed and shed in the hours to come,
When the widow and fatherless shall hear
How he died far, far from his happy home ?

From woody vales, and mountain streams,
To blue autumnal skies.
Y'ou’re training for my lady, Flower !
Y r ou’ic opening for my love
The glory of her summer botver.
While sky-larks soar above.
Go, twine her locks with rose buds.
Or breathe upon her breast :
While zephyrs curl the water floods,
And rock the halcyon’s nest
But oh ! there is another worm
Ere long will visit her.
And revel on her lovely form
In the dark sepulchre :
Yet from that sepulchre shall spring
A flower as sweet as this ;
Hard by the nightingale shall sing—
Soft winds its petals kiss.
Frail emblems of frail beauty, ye—
In beauty who would trust f
Since all that charms must be
Consign’d to worms and dust,
Yet, like the flower that decks her tomb,
Hei soul shall quit the clod,
And shine,in amaranthine bloom,
Fast by the throne of Gcd !
From the Ladies ’ Companion.
Marying lor Money,
There is a grey-haired gentleman in New
York, a retired merchant, whose bland and hear
ty countenance may be seen every fair day, in
Broadway, through the window of bis carriage,
as he takes his airing. There is nothing osten
tatious about his equipage—none of that labored
display, unfortunately characteristic of too many
in New York. lie does not ape the habits of a
foreign aristocracy, by attiring his servants in
liveries; and his carriage, though evidently of
costly manufacture, is so barren of tinsel, and of
so unpretending a construction, that the passer
by, as his eye falls upon it in the midst of the
ambitious “turn-outs” so numerous in Broadway,
would never expect its occupant to be the master
of unbounded wealth—capable of buying up, body
and soul, nine hundred and ninety-nine of the
bedizened and bewhiskered aspirants, who dash
by him, as he leisurely rumbles along, in their
flsahy, gingerbread vehicles.
He is often accompanied by his wife and
daughter; the former preserving in the wane of
life, traces of loveliness ; the latter in the dawn
! ing of lustrous beauty. The dress of these ladies j
| corresponds with the elegant simplicity—that |
test of true elevation and real gentility, which we |
have remarked upon as distinguishing the hus- I
; band and father. The jewels they wear are few
I and tasteful; and, in their plain and becoming
attire, they do not make their bodies locomotive
milliners’ signs, nor tell a tale, by extravagance
or outreness of display, that, conscious of deficien- 1
cy in menial superiority, they would make a pa-
I rade of the gaudiness of the covering, atone for
| the emptiness within it.
This gentleman came to the city when a young
man, a poor adventurer. He left his faiher’s
humble fireside in the country, with a blessing
and a little pack ofclothes, and with a five dollar j
note in his pocket, all he was worth in the world i
—he turned his steps towards New York; igno
rant of mankind—of the world’s guilt and crime
—of the thousands seeking like himself, a liveli- ’
hood, who congregate in this moral whirlpool—
but full of expectation—of hope—of determina
tion—of energy. It was distant several day’s
travel, but he did not greatly diminish his scanty
funds, for the farmer’s door at which he applied I
at nightfall, was ever open to receive him, and a
few hours of labor the succeeding day requited—
for he would have scorned to accept of charity—
the hospitality extended to him. He sought a 1
mean, cheap lodging house, when at last he trod ;
with eager foot, the streets of the city ; and al- j
though wondering curiosity was awake, he wast- j
ed no lime in idleness, but sedulously employed I
himself in seeking occupation. Appearances are
deceitful, and it is dangerous to put faith in
them; but the merchant who listened to Jacob
Flagg’s story, and taking the honesty depicted
in his fas e as an endorsement of its truth made 1
him his porter, never had reasoa to regret it.
For four years he was a faithful servant; dili- |
gent, industrious, honest, frugal. Closing his i
duties soon after nightfall, his evenings were his !
own ; and by the light of his lamp, he devoted
them to the improvement of his mind. At the
end of four years, with what he had saved from
his earnings, and some little assistance from his
employer, he opened a small retail shop in an ob
scure street, wheiein he vended a small stock of
Dry goods. From the beginning he succeeded ;
slowly indeed, yet he succeeded. And the ma
jority may succeed in precisely the same way.
Whatever one’s income may be, however trifling,
let him live within it, and he is <ven then pros
pering and to prosper. In a great city, frugality
never finds itself at fault. Subsistence and a
home may be procured, meeting to any quality
of means; and he who casts false pride out of doors,
and indulges rather in that more ennobling sat
isfaction. the consciousness that he is w’ronging
no fellow-being by unjust self-indulgence, is lay
ing a foundation for prosperity that nothing can
shake; for though the goods of earth may gather
slowly, the soul will be heaping up treasures.—
Extravagance is a comparative term; he who,
with an income of a few hundred, exceeds its
bounds in his expenditures, is more extravagant
than the possessor oi millions, whose lavish hand
scatters thousands upon thousands from his rev
enue. Jacob Flagg had a little something left of
his first year’s gains, and a yet larger sum at the
close of the second—tenfold after the third.
As his condition improved, he cautiously andi
advisedly improved his mode of living. Here
moved to a more genteel boarding house—and
then a better still— ever careful, however, not to
deceive himself and run ahead of duty. The
second change was rife with mometous influ
ences upon his destiny ; for there boarded in the
same house, a widow and her pretty daughter,
the last an heiress, worth a thousand dollars.' —
1 hi& widow, named Watkins—not her real
name, by the by, lor, on our veracity, we are tell
ing a true story, and it might give offence to be
too particular— was not overstocked with wit - ,
and piqued herself as much on her slender joint
ure and the thousand dollars Helen was to pos
sess on her wedding day, as though her hundreds
had been thousands, and her daughter’s thousand
a million. Helen was sensible—very sensible;
and resided, in a good degree, the unhappy influ
ences of her mother’s weakness; but most wo
men, not b?ing conversant with business, do not
appreciate the true value of money ; and it is not
amazing that Helen, when it was so constantly a
theme of exaltation and pride with her mother,
should imagine at last, her thousand dollars—a
fortune.
Flagg, after a time, loved her—loved her with
his whole heart, and was as tenderly loved in re
turn. He had always determined, with an hon
est pride, never to fall in love with a woman with
money ; “it should never be cast in his teeth by
his wife’s grumbling relations, that he was sup
ported by her ’ —and there arc few who will ac
cuse him of swerving from his principles, although
he did love Helen W atkins and she had a thou
sand dollars.
He married her ; and on the wedding day, pur
suant to her father’s will, the thousand dollars
were placed in Flagg’s hands. Doing as he
thought best for their mutual advantage, he in
vested it in his business, and instead of dashing
out wuh an establishment, remained at the board
ing house. For a lime all went well. A loving
bride thinks little, for months, of any thing but
love and happiness, and Helen never spoke of the
thousand dollars. Flagg furnished her with mo
ney sufficient for her wants, and, indeed, for her
desires—the engrossment of her thoughts other
wise limiting her wishes. But when a year had
gone by, she oiten asked for articles of dress or
luxury—luxury to them—which her husband
could not afford to give, and gently but resolute
ly denied her. “It’s very strange,” thought Hel
en to herself, “ that when he has ail that thou
sand dollars of mine, he won’t let me have what
I want.” Her mother fostered these complaining
thoughts, and on an occasion when she had set
her heart on something which he refused to pur
chase, she ventured to vent her disappointment
in reproaches; and referred to the thousand dol
lars, which she was sure she ought to be at liber
ty to spend, since it was all her own. Flagg was
astonished, indignant; but restraining himself,
kindly reasoned with her and represented to her
how i altry a sum, in reality, a thousand dollars
was, and how long ago it would have been ex
hausted, had it been n her own possession, by the
procurement of half the articles she had solicit
ed. But her pride prevented her from listening
with calmness ; and she only gathered enough of
his explanation to excite, in her warped judg
ment, the suspicion that it was only given to ex -
cuse himsell for his meanness.
In a short time the thousand dollars came up
again—and again—and again; the last time im
mediately after breakfast. Flagg could hear no
more. Without a rejoinder, he suddenly left the
house. His wife saw that he was more than or
dinarily moved—that his face wore a startling
expression, and fegrelful, pentitent and alarmed,
she called earnestly and tearfully to him to return,
but it was too late! It was a sullen, stormy, win-*
try, chilly day, when Flagg left his home that'
morning ; it was, too, at the very climax of one
of those mercantile crisis when the rich feel poor,
and the poor beggars; and Flagg, breasting the
storm bravely thus tar, had congratulated himself
that in a tew days more he should he safe, and his
fortunes golden for ever. How r bitter were his
sensations as he came down Broadway that mor
ning, plashing through the rain ! He loved Hel
en dearly—he knew that she loved him. Their
days were all happiness, save that destroyed by
this one foible, and let come what would, he de-
I termined to give her “a lesson that should last
her the rest of her life.”
He did not return to dinner. Helen waited for
him, and, robbed by her anxiety and remorse of
her appetite, would not go down herself, hut sat
all the afternoon, looking from the window into
the deserted and dreary street; weeping sometimes,
a- though her heart would break. When day
light had m arly gone, and she began to strain her
eyes to distinguish objects without, she discovered
him approaching. She could not—she dared not
go to meet him, but when he opened the door,
she could not repress a shriek at the haggardness
of his countenance. He came to her side, and
taking her hand, said, in a voice broken by ex
haustion and emotion, while he extended with
the other a roll of hank notes —
“ Helen, there arc your thousand dollars. I
have had toil, and anguish, and pain enough to
get them for you, in thei-e dreadful times, hut I.
had resolved, and would not he disappointed.—
Take them, do with them as you like, and we will’
be wholly happy ; for you can never reproach rae
! more!”
“ No, no, not for the world !” sobbed Helen,,
sinking on her knees m shame ; “ oh, husband,
forgive me, forgive me ! I shall never be guilty
again ! and she tried to make him accept the
notes.
He was, however, resolute : and well knowing
from his character, that which he had determined
on, as a proper course, he would not swerve from,
she dismissed the subject, and they were after
wards indeed happy. He never asked her to
what purpose she devoted her thousand dollars,
but it was plain enough that she expended then*
neither for dress nor ornament. If any thing,
she was more frugal than ever; and he was com
pelled to question her wants and wishes, when he
was disposed to gratify them ; as he was, liberally
and freely, so soon as his prosperity would au
thorise it. t .-
Reader, this Flagg is the same hale old fellow
whom we have spoken of as riding in his carriage
in Broadway ; and that wife is this same Helen.
That daughter—ah, I can tell a story of her!—
She is to be married next week to a young man
not worth a penny—but who 10-esher,and cares
not a pin for her father’s money, confiding, as he
does in his energies—which the old gentleman
took care to make sure of before he gave his con
sent.
As to that thousand dollars, it has been accu
mulating this twenty years—has been added to
constantly by the mother, and now, a good round
twenty thousand, will be a gift to her daughter on
the marriage day ; but we warrant you she will
hear the story of the thousand dollars,” and be
warned not to suspect an honest, high-minded,
loving man, of marrying for money /
