LOUIS UFFON GOELICk E,
of Germany,
The Greatesxof Human Benefactors.
Citizens of North and South America,
To Louis Offon Goelicke, At. L>., of Germany,
[Europe,] belongs the imperishao.e honor of adding
a new and precious doctrine to the sciem e of medi
cine —a doctrine which, though vehemently opposed
by many of the faculty, (of which he is a tamable
member,) lie proves to be as well founded in truth
as any doctrine of Holy Writ —ado*, trine, upon the
verity of wliica are suspended the lives oi millions
of our race, and which he boldly challenges his op
posers to refute, viz: Consumption is a disease al
ways occasioned by a disordered state of Vis Vit.e
(or Life Principle j of the human body : (Tj-* often
secretly lurking .in the system for years before
there is the least complaint us the Lungs £X' —and
which may be as certainty', though not so quickly,
curb'd, as acu mmm co dor a simple headache. An
invaluably precious doctrine this, a.-» parts a .
important lesson to th pparently nealtiiy of both
sexes, teaciiing them t iat this insidious foe may
be au unobser. ea mmaic of their ; clayey houses”
even while they imagine themselves -veuve from
As attacks, teaching them that tue great secret in the
art of preserving heilth is to pluck out the disease
when in the blade, and not wait till iue full grown
ear.
This illustrious benefactor of man is also entitled
to youi unfeigned gratitude, and the gratitude oi a
world,for t it- invention of his matchless Sanative,
—wiiose aea.iug ..at may* justly ciaitn lor it such a
title, since it has so signally triumphed ovei our

A certificate from three members of the Metrical
Profession in Germany, in Europe. j
We, the undersigned, practitioners of mediHnc j
in Germany, arc well aware that, by' our course,
we may forfeit the friendship of some of the faul
ty, but not of it- benevolent members, who
inliuenced by se.nsh motives. Though we
refrain from an expression of our opinion, cslier
of the soundness or unsoundness of Dr. tioelfk's
new doctrine, we are happy to say that we ' {cm
his Sanative too valuable not to be geneiliily
known —for what our eyes behold and our Jars
hear, we must believe. I
We hereby Male, that when Dr. Louis ( Iren
Go Mick fir-t came efore the German publiif as
tbe pretended discoverer of a new doctrine and a
new medicine, we hel l him in the highest con
tempt. relieving and openly pronouncing Junto be
a base impostor an 1 the p.ince of quack*. But, on -
hearing so much said at out the Sanative, against it
and for it, we were induced, from motives of curi
osity merely, to make Udal 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 lo acknowledge
its efficacy in curing not only consumption, put
other fearful maladies, which we haw hereto,Mrc
believed to be incurable. Our contempt for|he
discoverer o! tiii- medicine was at once swaho *ed
up in uiir utter astonishment at these unexpected
results; and, as amends for our abuse ol hin.,|>ve
do frankly confess to the world, that we belifve
him a philanthropist,who does honoi to the pro|'S
sicii, and to our countiy, which gave him birth, g
The recent adoption of tfcis medicine into s(j|ne
of our European hospitals, is a sufficient guaranty
that it performs all promises, it needed not fur
estirnony, for wherever it is used it is its own ifst
wi ness. HKiLM AN ETMULLER, m. if

hair had been falling off aoout two years, and had |
be. ome very thin, threatening speedy baldness, i
when i commenced using this remedy. In about
one week, it ceased to fail off. I have used it now !
about th ec months, and have a* full and thick a 1
head of hair as i can possibly desire. 1 have !
recommended its use to a number of my friends, I
who an speak we I of it. If faithfully emp oyed, 1
1 have no doubt >. its general sun ess. I mav add |

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 suc-mit the following to you, with the
liberty of your rn.iking it public, should you have
the desire:—For several months past rn/hair had
been rapidly lalling off, so much so indeed tnat by
passing my lingers lightly through it, i could obtain
a quantity in my hand. 1 had tiled ah the fash
ionable t ils 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 prohlled by its use, heard of the remarkable
cures effected by yne’s leagiuous Hair Tonic,

Dearest Mother:
Too well you remember the day,

But, aTa*», ior your daughter, her strength soon was

And I sunk to the earth with vexation and pain,

I strove, but in vain, till my strength was a.l fled,
And y le-ded, alas, to nis murderous power,

And, now. 1 must leii you wnat happened, most

Where the meadows are green, and the heavens

The Mad Girl’s Tale.
A FRAGMENT.
‘One touch may turn
Some balance fearfully and darkly hung ’
I, . a
it were a curious question to moot, how much
of wnat the world calls madness may be owing
to the action of the searching monitor within—
: a grieved and wounded conscience; to show how ;
nearly the ravings of insanity may l>e allied to •
ths workings of many an accusing spirit and ag- I
onized heart, from which were that safety-valve* i
the fear of Opinion, once taken off, and the j
whole of those hoarded secrets laid open to our ;
gaze, we should shrink away dismayed, and learn |
the true origin of that disorder which sends its j
! wretched subjects to the straw and the fetter, in '
the lonely dungeon, to give vent to the memories
that torture, and the horrors that appal, till the
i mind is thrown from its fine balance, and the i
| feelings, pressed down no longer by the salutary j
i restraints of Society, run will in the r uncon
: trolled indulgence, and the poor victim becomes !
m re.diiy what he h is long been in supposition |
—a madman—an unconscious, gazing lunatic.
It matters little to say how* the following frag- '
ment came into my hands: it is the ordy memo- !
rial of one who was once the ornament and pride
of the circle in which site moved—of one who
walkid the world in all the splendor of beauty
and talent, till the biigh» of the destroyer fi ll on
her and that fatal malady whose hidden cause is
revealed in this sole record ot her existence,
doomed her to the lonely cell a»d the earlv grave. I

the mad girl’s talk.
“ Jang'e.l and harsh.
Like sweet be is out ot tune.”
Night! night ! the lonely, the intense! how
long it seems to me ! how very long, and he has
not come yet. as be promised, with his low silvery
voice, to wile away these heavy,tedious hours, — !
They say, too, that he Kill not come; 1 hear their
mocking tones as they talk of the deep sea, and I
whisper all around me lhat I killed him— /, who j
would have died for one look of his! That pale
girl, loo—why does she put her face close to
mine, and whisper that he will never come
again ? What reek Io: this * I know that he
is dead ; I know that in the long nights before I
came here, 1 used to press my hand to my burn-
iag forehead, and shed hot, biller tears. It all j
comes hack to me as I sit here in the silence,
waiting for his voice.
How proud 1 used to he when 1 walked about i
with others in tuis brave, beautiful vvoild. and I
laughed scornfully at those who came to do me
homage. How like a queen I felt when I looked
on all the old pictures in my father’s hall, that
they called so lovely, and knew that there was
not one of them with a face or a form like mine.
My father, too—be never comes here how ; but
a smile used to steal all over his broad, high fore
head when I toid hi ;i that I would uevei leave
him lor any of th »se who did homage to me
then—that rov lover must have a proud name,
ami noble mansion, and hoad lands, to win me
for his bride. Door fool! I thought he* loved
me then, but I know better now. i know that j
while I sit herein the darkness, the light streams !
merrily up from the windows of my oid n uue, |
and my younger sister a!! gaily dressed, throws ;
her white arms over the harp, and sings all the *
old songs that I useif losing; while the blight
crowds met together there never think ot the poor
mad girl who sat in that very place, and sang all
hose songs once, a long time ago.
Yes, it must he a long time. I cannot remem
ber every tiling now, bot I know that, proud as I
was, there came at 'asta voice Hotter than gliding
waters to my ear, and a torm on which I loved
to gaze. He never cade I me beautiful —never
said he loved me: but at last he seemed I > lerl it,
and would come and stand by my side, scarcely
speaking, while I knew his eye-' were on me,,
and dared not look up to meet them, till some
thing whispered me that he would know my se
cret, and then I looked up as proudly as ever, till
his lip curled and his voice grew cold, and he
walked from my side in angi r. But what was
that to me 1 Was his a proud name, or broad
lands, or a noble mansion 1 Oh no! I tried to
forget him ; and though the rod blush was on my
forehead when we met, I looked at him no more.
After that, there came a fair girl with him.
Thev said she was his cous.n; and I saw her
hanging upon his arm, and watched her colon
come and go in his presence. I knew she loved
him then and I envied her. for she saw him al
ways. —I hated her, too. for he never frowned’
when he looked upon her lace.
At last 1 fell sick, very sick, and they darken
ed my chamber, and the leech came and bent over
my couch. He was a wise man, too, that leech:
hut he started when he felt my palse. What
were all h s drugs to me 1 Yet he talked learn
edly and well, and I kept my secret and said no
thing ail those long iir. ary hours, for I knew if
I once spoke they would discover the whole.
But I grew ;ired of the darkness, and the con
sultations, and the weariness of those day a. L
fell that I could lie on that couch no longer, with
the fever preying at my heart; —and I rose up and
said that I was better. The physicians confirm
ed my statement when they saw the color come
back to my check and the brightness to my eye.
So I went into the world once more, and danced,
and talked, and laughed more gaily than ever.
Was he not there 1 Was it not h s voice that
thrilled upon toy ear that night, when I turned
in the dance and saw him by my side ? Oh! the
brave spirit that had upheld me so long left my
/"heart then : I fainted in his arms. Whose lips
smiled tenderly then as he pre-sed me to his
heart and called me his 1 I knew that he loved
me after that, and I feared his cousin no more
ay, it is true, he did leave them all for me, g ving
up his ‘mother’s look and h s sister’s smile,’ and
breaking the heart of that fair, pale cousin; he did
leave the home of his childhood and go to India,
there to gather the yellow gold with which t > grat
ify the base pride of her w,m had so tempted him.
I cannot think of this, I cannot speak ut th s,
for they mock me, those pale, envious
when Isay that for my sake he did his, and nev
er came hack again—that I killed him —l who
thought only of him, and in the still darkness and
thetoituriug night-watches prayed but for one
look more, though the dead might rise to answer,
me. And what came at my appeal 1 His moth
er’s face! Ay. with a cold, reproachful glance,
as if she would have cursed the destroyer of her
son. I could not bear it, her brow was so like
his. And it followed me every where; at mid
night, at noonday those features gleamed on me
the same. Do you wonder that I raved then ?
That pale girl, loo—they told me strange tales
of her.—They said that her step had grown
feeble and her eye dull, since his death ; but what
right lifd she ? They told me something else—
they said that her only consolation was a little
picture of her cousin that he had given her itn **
former days. They told me all this and left me,
and never knew why my lips compresse d and the
blood left my cheek as they talked of the love
token of his early Jays.
My sorrow was h.dden then, and my malady
worked inwardly. That night I could not >deep
—my portrait; haunted me. Why should she
fold his likeness to her bosom, when I, whom
1 e loved so truly, was desolate ? I dreamed that
if it were only mine—if I could only once seo
the pictured lineaments of my beautitul and un—
forgotten, all those haunting spectres would leave
me, and be would come and smile upon me when
I was alone. 1 pondered all this, and ore night,
when every one was asleep and nobody Oinking
of me or my sorrow, I rose up,and stealing soft
ly down stairs, went to her house.
It was a low cottage dwelling, and the casement
was left open. I entered and bent over the sleep
ing girl. Ah ! she was not think.ng of me, but
siie looked so peaceful that I envied her. Un
her neck I saw the nbbon attached to Ins picture;
her fair, small hands were clasped over it. and I
paused and hesitated. Just then she smiled a.
soft, childish smile, and 1 knew she had never
loved him, or she could not smile when he was
go ie for ever. That thought gave me strength;;
I severed the ribbon with a small knife I had;
brought with me and. lifting up her hands, seiz
ed lh° picture. She waked, and screamed aloud
as the bright knife glittered in the moon beams
and her eyes glanced upon my figure. Her
screams sounded fearfully through the collage. I
seized my prize and escaped—the picture
mine, all mine. I pressed it to my heart and was.
h ippy, tor the spectres did not come. I could
sing now and talk gaily with them all, for those
sweet features snnlcd on me once more. But
my father’s eye begun to rest strangely on my
face, and my companions shrank away when I :
encountered their gaze. Well I heard news
soon; that fair cousin was dead—ay, cf&id; and
they said that grief for his loss had caused it. But
I told them no—that grief did not kill, for I had
loved him 100.
It was the day of the funerel. I went tr see
her once more, but I knew his mother would net
let me come if she knew it. I veiled my lace
and wont to the house; I drew near and stood
by the bier of her who had found that rest wh.ch
was denied me- How like a rose—a pure white
rose, crushed by the tempest, she looked—so still
and pa!e. I envied her that quiet sleep, for she
had died for him! The light curls rested grace
fully on the fair cheek, and her hands were cros
sed as I had seen them before; but tl e smile was
on her lip still. I was very sad then, but his mo
ther can e near and wept over her, whispering
something of unreturned and hopeless love; and
I knew that she pitied her—she who had never
pitted me. So I hfted up my veil and gazed
steadfastly upon her face but she shrieked when
she met my glance, and I heard the words, •• Take
her away! take her away! for she is mad—mad!”
But what had made me so? Ay, what had
made me so ?
After this I had a long, long sickness, and my
dreams were many. When I recovered again,
my father called me maniac, and my sisters
shrank from my presence, and I talked all day to
mv self, and nobody cared forme then. They
brought me hem at la t, and I thought to be al
ways adip ; but they nevet guessed that he
with me—that in the darkness he visit sand
ciieers nve, till the air is filled with his low. sil
very tones, and I forget how cold and cruel every
one else seemed to rne; I am haptic, too. till
they lefl that I killed him, and »;?! f think of
that fair creature and his mother s looks, and thei*
I rave till he cones again. ♦ • •
