[Translated from the Germ* ■.]
LOUIS OFFON GOELICKE |
of Germany ,
The Gbeatestof Human Benef/ 'tors.
Citizens of North and South America,
To Louis Offon Goelicke, M. D., ot iGermany,
[Europe,] belongs the imperishable hono of adding
a new and precious doctrine to the scien a of medi
cine —a doctrine which, though vebemen .y opposed
by many of the faculty, (of which he is . valuable
member,) he proves to be as well found d in truth
® as any doctrine of Holy Writ —adoctrim , upon the
verity of which are suspended the lives f millions
of our race, and which he boldly challen e, his op
posers to refute, viz ; Consumption is a i;>ease al
ways occasioned by a disordered state o Vis Vitae
(or Life Principle) of the human body: JJ- often
secretly lurking in the system for ye rs before
there is the least complaint of the Lungs / JD —and
which may be as certainly, though not s quickly,
cured, as a common cold or a simple head !:he. An
invaluably precious doctrine this, as D : iparts an
important lesson to the apparently healtl f of both
sexes, teacliing them that this insidious foe may
be an unobserved inmate of their “ claye houses”
even while they imagine themselves se are from
its attacks, teaching them that the great se rot inthe
art of preserving health is to pluck out I t disease
when in the blade, and not vmit till the f U grown
ear.
This illustrious benefactor of man is ah / entitled
to youi unfeigned gratitude, and the grati ude of a
world,for the invention of his matchless sanative,
—whose healing that may justly claim foi jit such a
title, since it lias so signally triumphed >ver our
great common enemy, fj* Consumption Loth in
the first and last stages, —a medicine v arch has
thoroughly filled the vacuum in the Mater ;.Medica,
and thereby proved itself the (Lj’ Conquer• -of Phy
sic iansj^f) —a medicine, for which all nankind
will have abundant cause to bless the I 'neficent
hand of a kind Providence, —a medicin whose
wondrous virtues have been so glowingly ourtray
ed even by same of our clergy, in their pastoral
visits to tee sick chamber ; by which me ps they
often become the happy instruments of cha ging de
sponding into hope, sickness into health, md sad
of friends into joyfulness

GOELICKE'S MATCHLESS SANA: WE,
A medicine of more value to man than he vast
mines of Austria, or even the united tre >ures of
our globe, —a medicine, which is obtained equally
from the vegatable, animal and mineral k ligdoms,
and thus possesses a three-fold power,—a n idicine,
wiiich, though designed as a remedy for c nsump
tion solely, is possessed of a mysterious i fluence
over many diseases of the human system,— i medi
cine, which begins to be valued by physicii is, who
are daily witnessing its astonishing cures t many
whom they had lesigned to the grasp of t e Insa
tiable Grave.
DOBE of the Sanative, for adults, one d op; for
children, a half-drop ; and for infants, a quarter
drop; the directions explaining the mann ; of ta
king a half or a quarter drop.

A certificate from three members of the tedical
Profession in Germany, in Europe.
We, the undersigned, practitioners of n dicine
in Germany, are well aware that, by our :ourse,
we may forfeit the friendship of some of th lacul
ty, but not of its benevolent members, who re un
influenced by selfish motives. Though w
refrain from an expression of our opinior either
of the soundness or unsoundness of Dr. G click’s
new doctrine, we are happy to say that w deem
his Sanative too valuable not to be g( erally
known —for what our eyes behold and c r ears
hear, we must believe. j
We nereby state, that when Dr. Loiti Offen
Goelick first came before the German pu lie, as
the pretended discoverer of a new doctrine and a
new medicine, we held him in the highe t con
tempt, believing and openly pronouncing hi to be
a base impostor and the prince of quacks, i it, on 1
hearing so much said about the Sanative, ag: nst it
and for it, we were induced, from motives o curi
osity merely, to make trial of its reputed irtues
upon a number of our most hopeless patient ; and
we now deem it our bounden duty (even it the
expense of self-interest) publicly to acknowledge
its eificicy in curing not only consurapritW, but
other fearful maladies, which we have heriiofore
believed to be incurable. Our contempt the
discoverer ol this medicine was at once swaßowed
up in our utter astonishment at these unexpected
results; and. as amends »or our abuse ol hji, we
do frankly confess to the world, that we Wlieve
him a philanthropist, who does honor to the j |o fos
sil n, and to our country, which gave him bir j.
’The recent adoption of this medicine int< some
of our European hospitals, is a sufficient gu ::anty
that it performs all promises. It needed n t our
cstimony.for wherever it is used it is its ow best
wi ness. HERMAN ET MULLER, M d,

DR. JAYNE’S
OLEAGINOUS HAIR TONIC.
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 enough to you in favor of Jayne’s
■ Oleaginous Hair Tonic, prepared by you. My
► hair had been falling off about two and had
1 become very thin, threatening speedy bakfn-ess,
when I commenced using this remedy. In about
, one week, it ceased to fall off. I have used it now
■ about three months, and have as full and thick a
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 iried almost 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
yours, S. S. Fitch, No. 172 Chesnut street.
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, —1 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, I 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 a/ne’s oleaginous Hair Tonic,
sold by you, I was induced, as a dernier resort, to
try it. I have used two bottles, and am 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 fine 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 face—the 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,

Copy of a letter from the Rev. C. C. Park, Pastor
of the Baptist Church at Haddonfield, N. J.
Haddonfield, N. J., Feb. 12, 1839.
Dr. D Jayne, —Sir —l take pleasure in inform
ing you that the bottle of Jayne’s Hair Tonic,
which I obtained of you iast 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.

Twilight.
There is an evening twilight of the heart,
W hen its wild passion-waves are lulled to rest,
And the eye sees life’s fairy scenes depart.
As fades the day beam in the rosy west.
’Tis with a nameless feeling of regret
We gaze upon them as they melt away,
And fondly would we bid them linger yet.
But Hope is round us with her angel lay.
Hailing afar some happier moonlight hour:
Dear are her whispers still, tho’ lost her early
power.
In youth the check was crimsoned with her glow;
Her smile was loveliest then; her matin song
Was heaven’s own music, and the note of woe _
W as all unheard her sunny bowers among.
Life’s little word of bliss was newly born;
, W e knew not, cared not, it was born to die.
Flushed with the cold bretze and the dews of morn,
; With dancing heart we gazed on the pure sky.
And mocked the passing cloud that dimmed its blue.
Like our own sorrows then—as fleeting and as few.
}
And manhood felt her sway too —on the eye,
Half realised, her early dreams burst bright.
Her promised bower of happiness seemed nigh.
Its days of joy, its vigils of delight;
And thought at times might lower the thunder
storm,
And the red lightnings threaten, still the air
Was balmy with her breath, and her loved form.
The rainbow of the heart, was hovering there.
’Tis in life’s noontide she is nearest seen.
Her wreath the summer flower, her robe of summer
green.
But though less dazzling in her twilight dress.
There’s more of heaven’s pure beam about her
now;
, That angel-smile of tranquil loveliness,
Which the heart worships, glowing on her brow;
That smile shall brighten the dim evening star.
That points our destined tomb, nor e’er depart
Till the faint light of life is fled afar,
And hushed the last deep beating of the heart;
The meteor-bearer of our parting breath,
A moon-beam in the midnight cloud of death.
Halleck.
The best specimen of quackery which we have
heard of for a long time is related below, from
Chambers’ Edinburg Journal.
“ Mantaccini, tho famous charlatan of Paris,
was a young man of good family, and having in
a few years squandered a large estate, and redu
ced himself to beggary, he felt that he must ex
ercise his ingenuity or starve. In this state of
mind he cast his eyet round the various devices
which save from indigence, and are most favored
by fortune. He soon perceived that charlatanism
was that on which this blind bencfacti ess lavished
her favors with most pleasure aad in the great
est abundance. An adroit and loquacious do
mestic was the only remaining article of all his
former grandeur; he dressed him up in a gold
laced livery, mounted a splendid chariot, and
started on the tour under the name, style and
title of ‘ the celebrated Dr. Mantaccini, who cures
all diseases with a single touch, or a simple look/
, ‘‘Not finding that he obtained as much prac
tice as his daring genius anticipated, he deter
mined to resort to still higher flights. He left
‘ Paris, and modestly announced himself at Lyons
as the celebrated Dr. Mantaccini, who revives
the dead at will/ To remove all doubt, he de
r dared that in fifteen days he would go to the
[ common churchyard and restore to life its inhab
-1 itants, though buried for ten yeas. This decla
■ ration excited a general rumour and murmur
against the Doctor, who, not in the least discon
certed, applied to the magistrate, and requested
that he might be put under guard to prevent his
escape, until he should perform his undertaking.
The proposition inspired the greatest confidence,
and the whole city came to consult the clever em
piric, and purchase his batimmt dt vie. His con
sultations were mbst numerous, and he received
large sums of money. At length the famous day
approached, and the doctor’s valet fearing for his
shoulders, began to manifest signs of uneasiness.
* You know nothing of mankind,’ said the quack
to his servant; ‘he quiet/ Scarcely had he spo
ken these words, when the following letter was
presented to him from a rich citizen :
‘Sir, the great operation which you are going
to perform has broken my rest. I have a wife
buried for some time, who was a fury, and I am
unhappy enough already without her resurrec
tion. In the name of heaven do not make the ex
periment. I will give you fifty louis to keep your
secret to yourself/ In an instant after two
dashing beaux arrived, who, with the most earn
est supplication entreated him not to raise their
old father, formerly the greatest miser in the city,
as in such an event, they would be reduced to
the most deplorable indigence. They offered
him a fee of sixty louis, but the doctor shook
his head in doubtful compliance. Scarcely had
they retired, when a young widow, on the eve of
matrimony, threw herself at the feet of the quack*
and with sobs and sighs, implored his mercy. Ira
short from morn till night, the doctor received
letters, visits, presents, fees, ro an excess which
absolutely overwhelmed him.
The minds of the citizens were differently and
vio’ently agitated, some by fear and some by cu
riosity, so that the chief magistrate of the city
waited upon the doctor, and said “ Sir, I have
not the least doubt, from my experience of your
rare talents, that you will be able to accomplish
the resurrection in our churchyard the day after
to-morrow according to your promise, but I pray
you to observe that our city is lathe utmost up
roar and confusion and to consider the dreadful
revolution the success of your experiment must
produce in every family, I entreat you, therefore,
not to attempt it, but to go away, and thus re
store tranquillity to the city. In justice however,
to your rare and divine talents, I shah give yo»
an attestation in due form, under our seal, that
you can revive the dead, and that it was our own
fault we were not eye-witnesses of your power/
This certificate was duly signed and delivered
and Dr. Mantaccini left Lyons for other cities to
work new mirat les. In a short time he return
ed to Paris, loaded with gold, where he laughed
at the popular credulity.”
