[Translated from the German.] I
LOUIS OFFUN GOELICKE,
of Germany,
The Greatest of Human Benf-facto* ,
Citizens of North and South America,
To Lours Offon Goelicke, M. D., of Get lany,
[Europe,] belongs the imperishable honor of; iding
anew and precious doctrine to the science of nedi
cine—adoctrine which,though vehementlyoj >osed
by many of the faculty, (of which he is a va rable
member,) he proves to be as well founded in :ruth
as any doctrine of Holy Writ —adoctrine, up* n the
verity of which are suspended the lives of mi lions
of our race, and which he boldly challenges h s cp
posers to refute,viz: Consumption is a disc, eal
ways occasioned by a disordered state of Vis Vitie
(or Life Principle) of the human body; >ften
secretly lurking in the system for years 1 ;fore
there is the least complaint of the Lungs AM) -and
which may he as certainly, though not so qu :kly,
cured, as a common cold or a simple headache An
invaluably precious doctrine this, as k in.pa, s an
important lesson to the apparently healthy ol both
sexes, teaching them that this insidious foe may
be an unobserved inmate of their i£ clayey ho ses”
even while they imagine themselves secure from
its attacks, teaching them thutl he great secret n the
art of preserving health is to pluck out the cl -ease
when in the blade, and not writ till the full g own
ear.
This illustrious benefactor of man is also en itlcd
to youx unfeigned gratitude, and the gratitude of a
world, for the invention of his matchless San live,
—whose healing tiat may justly claim for it s ich a
title, since it lias so signally triumphed ove our
great common enemy, Consumption, be h in
the lirst and last stages",—a medicine whir has
thoroughly tilled the vacuum in the MateriaM lica,
anj thereby proved itself the (Jfj’ Conqueror oj Phy
sic tans.rp) —a medicine, for which all mi kind
will have abundant cause to bless the bene cent
hand of a kind Providence, —a medicine - nose
w-ondrous virtues have oeen so glowingly poui ray
ed even by-same of our clex-gy-, in their pa: oral
visits to tee sick chamber ; by which means hey
often become the happy instruments of change Re
sponding into hope, sickness into health, am' sad
of friends into joyfuiness

GOELICKE'S MATCHLESS SANATIC ,
A medicine of more value to man than the vast
mines of Austria, or even the united treasures ol
our glooe, —a medicine, which is obtained eq ally
from the vegatable, animal and mineral king; ms,
and thus possesses a three-fold power,—a medi ine,
which, though designed as a remedy for com op
tion solely, is possessed of a mysterious infli nee
over many diseases of the human system, —a 1 edi
cine, which begins to be valued by physicians, s ho
are daily witnessing its astonishing cures of 1 any
whom they had xesigned to the grasp of the isa
tiable Grave.
DOSE of the Sanative, for adults, one drop for
children, a ha f-drop; and for infants, a qu rtev
drop ; the directions explaining the manner 0 ta
king a half or a quarter drop.

A certificate from three members of the Me < cal
Profession in Germany, in Europe.
We, the undersigned, practitioners of medi ine
in Germany, are well aware that, by our cm se,
we may forfeit the friendsldp ot some ol the la ul
ty-, but not of its benevolent members, w ho are jn
induenced by selfish motives. Though we s tall
refrain from an expression of our opinion, ei aer
of the soundness or unsoundness of Dr. uoeli k’s
new doctrine, we are happy to say that we d em
his Sanative too valuable not to be genei lly
known —for what our eyes behold "and our ars
hear, we must believe.
We Hereby state, that w-hen Dr. Louis 0 'en
Goelick first came before the German public as
the pretended discoverer of a new doctrine an a
new medicine, we held him in the highest ( »n
--tempt, believing and openly pronouncing him ti he
a base impostor and the prince of quacks. But on
hearing so much said about the Sanative, again: it
and for it, we were induced, from motives of c ri
osity merely, to make trial of its reputed virf es
upon a number of our most hopeless patients; nd
we now deem it our bounden duty (even at he
expense of self-interest) publicly to acknowk ge
its eilicacy- in curing not only consumption, ut
other fearful maladies, which w-e have hereto) re
believed to be incurable. Our contempt for he
discoverer of this medicine was at once sw-allo' cd
up in our utter astonishment at these unexpet ed
results ; and, as amends lor our abuse of him, ve
do frankly confess to the world, that we beli ve
him a philanthropist, who docs honor to the pro) s
skn, and to our country, which gave him birth.
The recent adoption of this medicine into sc le
of our European hospitals, is a sufficient guara ty
that it performs all promises. It needed not mir
estimony, for wherever il ls used it is its own b St
wi ness. HERMAN ETMULLER, m. e

THE MATCHLESS SANATIVE.—By an art! le
in our paper to-day. it will be seen that this me i
cine has lost none of its virtues by crossing the t t

The Monks of Old.
This pathetic poem, by the author of “Richelieu,”
was written on a melancholy occasion ; the author
having visited an old monastic church on the conti
nent, to bury a beloved infant.
I envy them—those monks of old —
Their books they read, and their beads they told ;
1 o human softness dead and cold,
And all life s vanity.
They dwelt like shadows on the earth.
Free from the penalties of birth,
Nor let one feeling venture forth
Rut charity.
I en"y them ; their cloistered hearts
Knew not the hitter pang that parts
Being that all Affection’s arts
Had linked in unity.
The tomb to them was not the place
To drown the best-loved of their race,
And blot out each sweet memory’s trace
In dull obscurity.
To them it was the calmest bed
That rests the aching human head ;
They looked with envy on the dead.
And now with agony.
g No bonds they felt, no ties they broke,
% No music of the heart they woke,
When one brief moment it had spoke
To lose it suddenly.
Peaceful they lived—peaceful they died ;
And tho;e that did their fate abide
Saw brothers wither by their side
In all tranquility.
They loved not, dreamed not—for their sphere
Held not joy’s visions; but the tear
Os broken hope of anxious fear,
Was not their misery.,
I envy them —those monks o f old
And when their statutes I behold,
Carved in the marble, calm and cold,
How true an effigy,
I wish my heart was calm and still
To beams that fleet and blasts that chill.
And pangs that pay joy’s spendthrift thrill
With bitter usury.
From Mad. Tussaud’s Memoirs of the French Rev
olution.
Last Hours of Louis XVI.
At length the 11th of December, 1792, was the
day fixed for the trial of Louis the Sixteenth,
and he was escorted from the Temple to the Na
tional Convention bv six hundred picked men,
who surrounded the carriage whicn contained
the monarch, three pieces of cannon preceding,
and three following the vehicle; the advanced
and rear guards were composed of bodies of cav
alry. An immense concourse of persons beheld
the sad procession; but Madame Tussaud ob
serves, that (hey did so, without evincing any
symptoms of approbation or otherwise; a very
few s..ouls were heard, and all passed on slowly,
. having an air of solemnity which seemed to awe
i the spectators.
* I Mean time, in the Assembly, there was much
debating as to the manner in which the king I
should be received. Legendre proposed to awe !
him by a silence like that of the grave; whilst
Manuel suggested that they should discuss the
question on the order of the day ; that they
should not seem to be wholly occupied with the
monarch. Thus, then, did this numerous assem
bly feel mo e embarrassed in receiving one man,
than did that individual in appearing before the
1 numbers who were preparing to receive him ; and
! when he entered, such was the dignity of his ap
pearance, that even the most ferocious amongst
them was forcibly struck with the firmness and
self-possession which he disulayed. His replies
; were ever clear and direct, never the least eva
‘ | sive.nor betraying the slightest hesitation, and he
| was so totally free from agitation that he pa took
1 of some refreshment which was provided for him
, in an ante-rsom with the utrru st composure.
After many arguments bn the subject the as
sembly decided, that Louis should be allowed
counsel, and a deputation was sent to him to ac
-5 quaint him to that effect. He immediately
. named Target, and in case of failure with him,
1 Tronchet. The latter accepted, hut the formor
» declined, stating that he had ceased to practice for
the last seven years; but as compensation for
this disappointment, Malesherbes appeared; for
which generous and courageous act his name
must descend with eternal honor to posterity.—
i The meeting between him and his royal master
1 i was most affecting. The fallen monarch, charrn
' ! ed with such proof of fiidelily and devotion in
' I his former minister, sprang forward to receive
I him ; hut, overt* helmed with emotion, he fell at
r ! the feet of the king, who raised his venerable and
prostrate friend, and they remained for some time
P clasped in each other’s arms, and then immediate
( ly proceeded to the ground work of the defence,
I which many other persons offered to undertake
I for Louis, hut he knew that he could not place it
in more able hands than those of Malesherbes.—
Free access was granted by the convention to the
Temple, that the king and his counsel might con
. stantly commune together. Although Malesher
. bes prov dto be one of the most devoted adhei
-1 ents of Louis, yet, during the period that virtu
} ous minister was in office. Madame Tussaud
states, that he was by no means liked at the court,
by whom he was designated, ‘quarfre voleurs ,’
- which signifies a remarkably powerful vinegar,
alluding to the stern aspect which generally per
* vaded hi? countenance, and which many of the in
mates and frequenters of the palace chose to de
j nominate ‘sour.’
As soon as the proceedings of the trial of the
king had commenced, he was restricted from see
ing his family, and on consulting with his coun
sel, found the time allowed them for drawing up
j his defence was not sutficent, and requested to
j have the aid of another who was younger and
- ' more active ; whereupon M. Deseze was chosen,
i and by means of the closest application he was
* enabled to have all in readiness by the day stat
s ed.
The mode of communication between the king
and has family, after they were separated, was
managed with much ingenuity ; being furnished
e with materials for writing his defence, he was en
e ; abled to inform the queen and her fellow-suffer
- ers of all that transpired, whilst they pricked with
1 : a pin the answers, which were conveyed by a
* variety of ingenious means; often Uy lowering
them, tied to a string, from one story to another ;
sometimes they were enveloped in balls of thread
- and dropped under the table by the servants, so
f that the unfortunate prisoners had the melancho
’ ly consolation of imparting their mutual thoughts
and wishes.
j On the 26th of December, Louis was convey
r ed to the assembly in the carriage of the mayor,
. being the appointed to hear the defence of the ui«-
■ fortunate monarch. Ho was, as before, perfectly
' ! composed, and even joked about Santerre keep
* i ing his hat in in the carriage. When arrived in
; the midst of his judges and accusers, who were,
unfortunately, one and the same person, he was
calm and collect-*d as ever, Deseze fully justifi.
ed the choice which had been made in his favor,
by tie very judicious manner in which he ad
dressed the convention. Although his argu
ments repelled those adduced by the enemies of
royalty, yet he tempered them with so much
mddness, that he avoided irritating the accusers.
In tact, not any thing that could be said or done
was omitted, which might have been serviceable
to the devoted monarch ; but, as he was prejudg
ed by the majority of the members, all efforts to
save him pro«ed unavailing. When his coun
sel had finished, Louis himself made a few re
marks, which were delivered with the same un
embarrassed air as upon a former occasion, when
he replied to the interrogatories which were ad
dressed to him by his judges.
As soon as be retired from the convention, a
most tumultuous discussion occurred. Lanjui
nats, in the most daring manner, condemned the
whole proceedings against the king, and calling
the instigators of the 10th of August conspira
tors, a furious uproar ensued, with cries of ‘Or
der!’ and *'To the Ahbaye!’ St. Just next spoke,
and, i.ltaough he had himself been somewhat
touched by the king's mild and dignified appear
ance, he cautioned the assembly not to be influ
enced by such a feeling, and placed the conduct
of Louis in so treacherous a light, as to have a
most powerful effect in prejudicing the hiinds of
the assembly against the unhappy monarch. A
counter feeling was then produced by a speech of
\ ergniaud’s, which was a master-piece of elo
quence; yet a reply by Barreie, although posses
sing no claim to a comparison with regard to the
rhetoric which it contained to tha. of Vergniaud,
appeared to cast the balance against the accused,
and the 14th of January was appointed for the
decision of the question by vote,
Madame Tussaud had frequent opportunities
of seeing Barrere, as at her, uncle's house he
was frequently a guest. She described him as a
good looking man, rather tall and stout; had
much the appearance of a gentleman ; was very
polished in his manners, and his conversation was
particularly refined. He was born at Tarbes, was
by profession a barrister, and was celebrated for
the elegance of his language, although too fond
ol antitheses. He was the editor of a journal cal
led “ The Break of Day.” When Brissot pro
posed to defer the trial of the King, Barrere ex
claimed, “ that the tree of liberty would never
flourish until watered by royal blood.’ He trans
lated Young’s Night Thoughts; he was noticed
by Napoleon, who employed him in writing, but
declared that his abilities were not of a high class;
that he was too fond of metaphor and imagery,
whilst his argument generally lacked good sense.
At the restoration of the Bourbons he was exiled
as a regicide.
A popular fee.ing appeared in some degree to
exist in tavor ot Louis, which was fequently evin
ced at the theatres, particulary at the performance
es L’ami des lois ;and where the phrase occured,
of “You cannot be accusers and judges at the
same time,” it was followed by shouts of ap
plause, and the actor was compelled by the au
dience to repeat the passage; but such men os
Robespiere, Murat, and others, were very busy
in turning the feelings of the people against the
monarch, and persuading them that the existence
of the republic was identified with his death, un
til at last they so worked upon the public mind,
that the populace was r used to such a pitch of
frenzy against the members who defended the
king, that many who had intended to vote for
banishment or a more lenient penalty, at last de
clared in favor of his execution, fearing, that if he
were spared, there would be a civil war, and that
the sacrifice of one life would be better than that
of thousands. This was but betraying their con
viction of the weakness of the government, com
pared with the strength of the people ; but,
whatever may have been the motive of the dif
ferent members for giving the vote which they
did, the majority, after a sitting of twenty-two
hours, were in favor of the death of Louis the
Sixteenth. On a second motion, as to whether
the execution should be immediately or delayed
for a time, it was declared by three hundred and
eighty to three hundred and ten, that the sentence
should be enforced without delay.
Ou Garat, the minister of justice, the melan
choly task devolved, of communicating the dread
ful tidings to the king, who received it with all
that calm philosophy which he had before so of
ten displayed in moments of danger. Soon after
the fatal decree was read in his presence by Grou
velle, Louis returned to his room, and, with his
usual composure, gave orders for his dinner, and
ate with his ordinary appetite. He was allowed
to have the Abbe Edgeworth de Finnont, as the
minister to officiate in the performance of the last
duties.
The most severe trial which Louis had to un
dergo, was that of bidding his last farewell to hi*
family, which presented a scene which no words
can convey an adequate idea. Convulsive sobs,
and incessant weeping, deprived the females of
the power ot utterance. The princess royal, fain--
ted as the awful moment of final separation arri
ved. His family retiring, Louis was again left
to his reflections, and, rallying, he soon resumed
his wonted composure. Clery, his faithful valet
de charnbre, and the Abbe Edgeworth, witnessed
the last interview between the monarch and his
family.
The next day, that of his execution, Madame*
Tussaud describes as one of the most melancholy
a»’d imposing of any she ever remembers to have
witnessed. Every shop, and even every window
was closed, and people mostly retired to the backs
ot the houses, along the line by which the dread
ful cavalcade had to pass. Incalculable were the
floods of tears which were on that day shed; and,
although, what with the national guards, and
other troops, the Boulevards, from the Rue du.
i emple to the Place Louis Quinze. were occupied
by many taousands, yet a solemn silence reign
ed, as the carriage, containing the royal victim,
passed between the lines of troops, which were
under arms; cannon was also planted so as to ba
in readiness, in case any attempt at rescue should
occur.
Louis retained to the last all his powers, and ,
his resignation and fortitude were the theme of
admiration, even amongst his enemies. When
on the scaffold, he quitted, for an instant, the ex
ecutioners, and advancing with a firm step, ad
dressed the people, by declaring that he died in
nocent of the crimes which had been laid to his
charge, and that he forgave the authors of his
death, praying that bfs blood might not fall up
on France. What more he would have said it
is impossible to judge, ay Santerre ordered the
drums to beat, that they might drown the mon
arch’s voice. He thea submitted to his fate, as
the Abbe Edgeworth ejaculated, * Son of St. Lou
is, ascend to heaven F
