[Translated from the German.]
LOUIS OFFON GOELICKE,
of Germany ,
The Greatest ok Human; Benefactors.
Citizens of North and South Africa,
To Louis Offon Goelicke, I*l. D., of Germany,
[Europe,] belongs the imperishable honor of adding
anew and precious doctrine to the science of medi
cine—a doctrine which, though vehemently opposed
by many of the faculty, (of which he is a valuable
member,) he proves to be as well founded in truth
as any doctrine of Holy Writ-j- i doctlire, upon the
verity of which are suspended : the lives ol millions
of our race, and which he bolder challenges his op
posers to refute, viz; Consumption is a disease al
ways occasioned by a disordered state ot Vis V itae
(or Life Principle) of the huxrUii body: (fj" often
secretly lurking in the systeHi for years before
there is the least complaint of 1»l]e Lungs and
which may be as certainly, not so quickly,
cured, as a common cold or a sin Sple headache. An
invaluably precious doctrine tills, as D imparts an
important lesson to the apparently healthy of both
sexes, teaching them that tills! .insidious foe may
be an unobserved inmate of th< ,;r “ clayey houses”
even while they imagine themselves secure from
its attacks, teaching them that ify great secret in the
art of preserving health is topifyck out the disease
when in the blade, and not wait 'fill the full grown
ear.
This illustrious benefactor ofjman is-elso entitled
to youi unfeigned gratitude, any, the gratitude of a
world, for the invention of his fyatchless Sanative,
—whose healing tlat may justb:;claim for it such a
title, since it lias so signally tlnumphed over our
great common enemy, j Consumption, both in
the first and last stages, —a rlpdicine which has
thoroughly tilled the vacuum in’jtihe MateriaMedica,
anj thereby t roved Itself the (£; | Conqueror of Phy
sic iansfff} —a medicine, for which all mankind
will have abundant cause to bljCiss the beneficent
hand of a kind Providence,—il medicine whose
wondrous virtues have been so pljowingly pourtray
ed even by S3ine of our clergy!; in their pastoral
visits to toe sick chamber ; by means they
often become the happy instruments of changing de
sponding into hope, sickness intj.; health, and sad
of friends into joyfulncss i
q q q !3 3
GOELICKE'S MATCHES?I S' SANATIVE,
A medicine of more value to* man than the vast
mines of Austria, or even the -united treasures ot
our globe, —a medicine, which £3 obtained equally
from the vcgatable, animal and-ooineral kingdoms,
and thus possesses a threefold power, —a medicine,
which, though designed as a remedy for consump
tion solely, is possessed of a irwsterious influence
over many diseases of the humaji system,—a medi
cine, which begins to be valued> y physicians, who
are daily witnessing its astonishing cures ot many
whom they had resigned to the prasp of the Insa
tiable Grave. ‘
DOSE of the Sanative, for adults, one drop-, for
children, a half-drop; and for ’infants, a quarter

A certificate from three members of the Medical
Profession in Germany,Hn Europe.
We, the undersigned, practitioners of medicine
in Germany, are well aware that;, by our course,
we may forfeit the friendship or some of the facul
ty, but not of its benevolent members, who are un
influenced by selfish motives. 'I hough we shall
refrain from an expression of «)nr opinion, either
of the soundness or unsoundness; of Dr. Goelick’s
new doctrine, wc are happy to fay that we deem
his Sanative too valuable not; to be generally
known —for what our eyes behold and our ears
hear, wc must believe. ;
We nereby state, that when Dr. Lours Otter!
Goclick first came before the ■ icman public, as
the pretended discoverer of a now doctrine and a
new medicine, we held him iif the highest con
tempt, believing and openly pronouncing him to be
a base impostor and the prince o| quacks. But, on
hearing so much said about the tMnative, against it
and for it, we were induced, fronj motives of curi
osity merely, to make trial of reputed virtues
upon a number of our most hopif ess patients; and
we now deem it our bounder, fluty (even at the
expense of self-interest) public! r to acknowledge
its clficacy in curing not only* -onsumption, but
other fearful maladies, which v| have heretofore
believed to be incurable. Our|kontempt for the
discoverer of this medicine was H once swallowed
up in our utter astonishment a*’.aese unexpected
results; and, as amends for our .abuse of him, we
do frankly confess to the world? that we believe
him a philanthropist, who docs hmior to the profes
skn, and to our country, which e him birth.
The recent adoption of this n&jdicine into some
of our European hospitals, is a sufficient guaranty
that it perforins all promises. j ; t needed not our
estimony, for wherever it is use.| it is its own best
wi ness.' HERMAN ETMLLLER, 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 enougli to you in favor of Jayne's
\ Oleaginous Hair Tonic, prepared by you. My
t hair had been falling olf about two years, and had
i become very thin, threatening speedy baldness,
; when I commenced using this remedy. In about
. one week, it ceased to fall olf. I have used it now
f about three months, and have as full and thick a
i 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 tried almost all
the various articles employed for the hair, such as
, the Macassar Oil, all the different preparations of
Boar’s Oil, Vegetable -Hair Oil, &c. &c., without
experiencing much, if any, benefit. Respectfully
yours, S. S. Fitch, No. 172 Chesnut street.
7 (Ty’Before 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, —I 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, 1 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 «. yne’s Oleaginous Hair Tonic,
sold by you, I was induced, as a dernier resort, to
try it. I have used two bottles, and arn 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 line 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 sac 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 Haddonfleld, N. J.
Haddonfield, N. J., Feb. 12, 1839.
Dr. D. Jayne,—Sir—l take pleasure in inform
ing you that the bottle of Jay-ne’s Hair Tonic,
which 1 obtained of you last 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.

Maria’s Dower*
In the year 1540, a fisherman having landed
in front of the palace of St. Mark, crossed this
celebrated piace, and stopped before the door of
an inn, on which was very roughly painted a lion
emblematic of Venice. The man was tall and
athletic—his dark complexion and brown hair
had that warm coloring indicative of strength and
intelligence so peculiar to inhabitants of southern
countries; but his eyes had lost their animated
expression and thoughts of a most painful nature
bowed down the head of this robust gondolier.
On entering the tavern, he perceived in the
most obscure corner of the room a stranger, who
appeared buried in deep meditation. He too had
one of those manly and imposing countenances
which denote moral energy. His expressive face
reflected the flames of a thousand ardent passions
and there w as seen inconlestible signs of the bril
liant mission which God had given him. His
dress was simple in the extreme ; a doublet and
trunk hose of black velvet covered his muscular
limbs; a silk cap sloped out over the temples,
and with two bands tied under the chin according
to the fashion of the times, partly conealed a lux
uriant head of hair, the ringlets of which were a
little verging on the grey, fell gently over his
neck.
‘ Ginnettini V sab! the gondolier, addressing a
man with a broad chest and red face, who was
walking about the tavern, ‘ do you still persevere
in your refusal ?’
‘I *k>!* answered the Venitian.
‘ I am too poor to be your son-in-law, am I
not 1 Bctore you consider the happiness ofiyour
daughter you think of her fortune ! But to per
suade you, Ginnettini, must I recall to your mind
the debt which is due to me ? Have you iorgot
ten that I saved your life at Lepanto, when all
Venice, men and women, were armed to defend
the Republic against the soldiers of Barbarossa?
Do you know, that reared with Maria, vve swoso
from our infancy neither of us should ever belong
to another, and renewed this oath when our age
gave to our attachment strength and solidity ?
Do you wish to cause both her misery and mine?
Are you a Doge to be so ambitious ? Are you a
patrician to be so ungrateful?’
‘ No, but I am rich, Barbarigo.’
‘ And I shall become so, Ginnettini; I have vi
gorous arms, an enterprising mind, courage,
youth, and confidence in God; fortune may, be
fore long, come and seat herself in my gondola.’
* A lunatic’s dream!’ said the tavern keeper,
‘ Who knows! ’ replied the fisherman; ‘Lau
rent de Medicis was a shop keeper; Francis Stor
za was a coward. Why should I not be a gener
al V
‘ Because, for three men which the Almighty
favors, there are thousands he disdains, Barbari
go. One thing is certain, that I will never be
the father-in-law of a man whose only fortune is
a barque with sails. It would be better for Ma
ria ’
‘ To be sold to a patrician, than be the wife of
an honest gondolier. You would rather she
would sleep in the lap of degraded opulence, than
live obscurely, but respected I’
‘ Certainly. Maria has attracted the attention
of the nephew of the proveditor; this young lord
paid me a visit and offered me ’
‘To marry her?’
‘Not exactly—as popular as the Venetian aris
tocracy aspires to become, they do not make so
free with their heraldry.’
‘To purchase her, then V replied Barbarigo;
‘most infamous! and would you then, sell the
honor of your daughter, Ginnettini?’
The stranger, who had listened with much cu
riosity to the conversation of these two Vene
tians, rose from his seat, and laying his hand on
the shoulder of Barbarigo, ‘Gondolier,’ said he,
‘Maria shall be your wife.’
‘Never!’
‘.Sir Jew, if this man bring you 2,000 pistoles
on the marriage portion ?’
‘O ! then Barbarigo should be my son-in-law,
and I would join the contract with a joyful hand;
but reflect, Signor, that this poor boy’s only pro
perty are the four planks of his gondola, and
that unless he obtains ducal signet ’
‘No such luck ; but I promise, you shall have
that sum before night.’
‘But where shall I take it from, Signor V mut
tered the surprised gondolier.
‘Not from the pocket of my doublet, my brave
fellow, for I am not much richer than a lazaroni.
There is so much miseiy to relieve between Flor
ence and Venice, that I should not find there a
noble. But be not afraid, my poverty is the sis
ter of opulence, and my talent fills my purso
with gold, as soon as my benevolence has emp
tied it.’
Whilst talking thus, the stranger opened his
port folio ; he took out a parchment and spread
it on the table; in the space of a few minutes he
drew a hand with such marvellous skill, that al
though perfectly ignorant of the art, the gondo
lier could not help uttering an exclamation of
surprise.
£l;,‘Here,’ said the unknown artist, giving to the
fisherman the hasty drawing, ‘take this parch
ment to Pierre Bambo, who is now in the palace
of St. Mark ; tell him that a painter destitute of
money wishes to sell it for 2,000 pistoles.’
‘2,000 pistoles!’ exclaimed the tavern keeper,
in the utmost surprise, ‘that man is crazy. I
would not give him one zechin for it.’
In the course of an hour the gondolier return
ed, with the price that was asked, to which the
Secretary of Leo X. had joined a letter request
ing the artist in the warmest terms, to honor him
with a visit.
The next day Maria and Barbarigo were mar
ried in the church of St. Stephano.
The stranger wished to contemplate the begin
ning of their happiness by being present at their
nuptials; and when the gondolier, frantic with
joy, ana penetrated with feelings of gratitude,
entreated him to tell his name, he answered that
he was called Michael Angelo.
Twenty years after this little incident, Anto
nio Barbarigo, by one of those extraordinary
chances, of which God only possesses the secret,
was promoted to the rank of General of the Ve
netian Republic. But however intoxicating to
the former fisherman was this unexpected eleva
tion, he did not forget his illustrious benefactor;
and when Bounarotti died at Rome, alter a mag
nificent old age, and the most brilliant career ev
er known to an artist, the former gondolier, with
bis own band, wrote under the Latin epithet com
posed by the successor of Paul HI. for his favor
ite, those two lines of gratituoe which time has
respected, and which may still be seen on the
mausoleum of the great mam
As to the immortal chef d ’ dseuvre the work
of a few minutes, it was brought from Italy in
the cartridge box of one of Napoleon’s corporals.
Whiskey drinking never conducted wealth in
to a man’s pocket, happiness to his family, or
respectabilily to his character—therefore whiskey
is a non-conductor, and consequently it is i*e«t
to let it alone; nevertheless, it is hard to resist a
good whiskey punch of a cold night, when one
is pressed to drink.
