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.

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. —Boston Morn i?ig Post.

Deep mis s hung over the Mariner’s grave "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 ? The Worm and the Flower, BV J. MONTGOMERY. You’re spinning for my lady, Worm, Silk garments for the fair; You’re spinning rainbows for a form More beautiful than air: When air is bright with sunbeams, And morning mists arise 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 /
