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 QQ3 3 3 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.

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, WALTER VAN GAULT, m d. ADOLPHUS WERNER, m. . Germany, December 10, 1886.

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, L. Rinaldo Sank, No. 108 Walnut st. 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. C. C. Park.

JOHN H. MANN, Col. fc Tr. C. A. feb 20 trw2rn 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.” Umbrella fob the Qceex. —We have been highly gratified by an inspection of the umbrella that has been in preparation, and is now nearly completed, by Mr. Samuel Stears.of this town* The cover is of the very best rich write satin, the stick a Pastriza cane ; the hand-part is beau tifully carved pearl, with gold eyes.
