LOUIS OFFON GijELICKE,
of Germany,
The Greatest of 11ujia|n Benefactors.
Citizens of North and South America ,
To Lours Offon Goelicke ! M. D., of Germany,
[Europe,] belongs the imperishable honor of adding
a ne w and precious doctrine tci the science of medi
cine —adoctiine which,though vehement!) opposed
by many of the faculty, (of wihicii iie is a valuable
member,) he proves to be as vtell founded in truth
as any doctrine of tioly Writ-j-a doctrine, upon the
verity of winch are suspended the lives of millions
of our race, and which he bodily challenges his op
posers to refute, viz: Consumption is a disease al
ways occasioned by a disordered state of Vis Vitaj
(or Life Principle) of the hufnan body: often
secretly lurking in the system for years before
there is the least complaint ofjthe Lungs and
which may be as certainly, liijmgh not so quickly,
cured, as a common cold or a sample headache. An
invaluably precious doctrine tins, hs • ’ imparts an
important lesson to the apparently healthy ot both
sexes, teacliiag them that this insidious foe may
be an unobserved inmate of tl|eir“ clayey houses”
even while they imagine t!ie:|iseivcs secure from
its attacks, teaching them th*Ui he great secret in the
art of preserving iceiltti is to \ duck out the disease
when in the blade, and not wa t till Ihe full grown
ear.
This illustrious benefactor c|T man is also entitled
to youi unfeigned gratitude, a id the gratitude ol a
world,for the invention of hi; matchless Sanative,
—whose healing tiat may just v claim lor it such a
title, since it has so signally triumphed over our
great common enemy, • L msumption, both in
the tirst and last stages, —a uedicine which has
thoroughly filled the vacuum i: the Materia Med Lea,
and thereby proved itself the (T J Conqueror of Phy
sic iansjff) —a medicine, for which all mankind
will have abundant cause to less the beneficent
hand of a kind Providence,- -a medicine whose
wondrous virtues have been so glowingly puurtray
ed even by same of our clerg ~ in their pastoral
visits to tee sick caamber ; bl which means they
often become the happy instru nents of changing de
sponding into hope, sickness r :o health, and sad
of friends into joy fulness

which, t.rough designed as a emedy for consump

c. e Q Q Q
A certijl ate from three met, hers of the Medical
Profession in German , in Europe.
We, tue undersigned, praci i oners or medicine j
in Germany, are we.l aware hat, by our course,
we mav forfeit the friendship 1 some of the facul
ty, but not of it> benevolent n mbers, who are un
rnllucnced by se.fish motives, though we shall
refrain from an expression oJ our opinion, either
of the soundness or unsoundr ss of Dr, woe lick's
new doctrine we are happy say that we deem
his Sanative too valuable i A to be generally
known —for what our eyes oho id and our ears
hear, we must believe.
We hereby state, that w en Dr. Louis Often
Goclick first came before tie German public, as
the pretended discoverer of a :;;w doctrine and a
new medicine, wo held him in the highest con
tempt, belie ving and openly p mount in g him to be
a base impostor an 1 the priact of quacks. But, on
hearing so much said ai.out tli Sanative, against it
and for it, we were induced, f in motives of curi
osity merely, to make trial o its reputed virtues
upon a number of our most ht peiess patients; and
we now deem it our boundei duty (even at the
expense of self-interest pub icly to acknowledge
its e;ticacy in curuig not on 1 consumption, but
other fearful maladies, which we have heretofore
believed to be incurable. Cir contempt for the
discoverer oi this medicine m > at once swallowed
up in our utter astonishment a* these unexpected
results ; and, as amends for o r abuse of him, we
do frankly confess to tire wot i, tiiat we bel;e\e
him a philanthropist, who doe; mnor to the profes
sko, and to oar country, whiel gave him bittlt.
The recent adoption of thi medicine into some
of our European hospitals, is ; sufficient guaranty
that it performs all promises It needed not our
estimony, for wherever it is l ed it is its own best
wi ness. HERMAN E "’MULLER, m. d.

DR. JAYNE’S
OLEAGINOUS HAIR TONIC.
Copy of a letter from Dr. S. S. Fitch, dated
Philadelphia, May 4u, 183 S.
DR. JAYNE —Dear Sir, —1 fee; that I can
hardly say enough to you in favor of Jayne's
f> Oleaginous Hair Tonic, prepared by you. My
hair had been falling off’ about two years* and had
become very thin, threatening speedy baldness,
when I commenced using tins remedy. In about
one week, it ceased to fail oif. 1 have used it now
about three months, and have as full, and thick a
head of hair as I can possibly desire. 1 have
recommended its use to a number of my friends,
who ah speak we.l of it. If faithfully employed’
J have no doubt oi its general success. 1 may add
that before using the Tonic, I ha I tried a most all
the various articles employed for the hair, such as
tue Macassar Oil, all tae different preparations of
Bears Oil, Vegetable Hair Oil, &c. &c., without
experiencing much, if any, benefit. Respectfully
yours, 4s. S. Fitch, No. 172 Chesnut street.
fj Before Dr. Fitch used this Tonic ins ha r be
gan to be gray, but since then there is not a gray
hair to be found on his bead.
Philadelphia, May 11, 1838.
Dr. Ja-o-k —Dear Bir, —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, >o much so indeed that by
passing my fingers lightly through it, 1 coukl obtain
a quantity rn my hand. 1 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 lo have my bead shav
ed and wear a wig. Having, through a friend who
had parefitted by its use, heard of the remarkable
cures effected by yne’s « ieaginous Hair Tonic,
sold by you, I was induced, as a dernier resort, to
try it. 1 have used two bottles, and am pleased to
say, that alter a few applications, my hair ceased
■entirely from coming out, the young hair made its
appearance in great abundance, and that now I
Rave a fine, luxuriant growth, and believe it to be
the best remedy ever yet discovered. A fair trial
will be its best recommendation. Independently
<>f its virtues as a restorative and preventive, it
imports to the hair a line healthy, glossy appear
ance, rendering it soft and flexible, which will
make it an invaluable acquisition for tire toilet of
every one at all desirous of beautifying that great
est ot 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 Bir, your obedient servant,

of the Baptist Church at Haddonlield, 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 1 obtained of you last (‘ctober, has proved
most satisfactory and successful. My hair baa for
a long time been exceedingly thin. But for two
or three year* 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

A Night Adventure in the Alloghanics.
horse had cast a shoe, and stopping about
sunset at a blacksmith's c abin, in one of the most
savage passes of the Alleghanics, a smutty-faced
leather-aproned fellow was «.oon engaged in put
ting his feet in order, to encounter the flinty road
we were travelling.
Pardon me, air, cried a middle-aged traveller,
riding up to the sbantee and throwing himself
bom his horse, just as the shaggy-headed vulcan,
having taken the heels of my nag in his lap, was
proceeding to pare off the hoof, preparatory to fit
ting the shoe, which be had just hammered into
shape and thrown upon the black soil tieside him.
“Pardon me —repeated the stranger, raising the
broad brimmed beaver trom a head remarkable
for nothing but what the phrenologist would call
the uncommon developement of **i eality,” re
vealed by the short locks which part d over a
pair of melancholy grey eyes—“matteis of mo
nient ——continued be, moving towards me
make it important for me to be a dozen miles
hence before nightfall, and you will place me, sir,
under singular obligations, by allowing this good
fellow to attend to my lame beast instantly.”
i ho confident, and not ungraceful manner in
I which the stranger threw himself upon my cour
| sufficiently marked him as a man of breed
ing, and I, of course, complied at once with his
request by giving the necessary order to the black
smith. His horse was soon put in travelling
trim, and leaping actively into the saddle, he re
gained the highway at a bound; checking his
coarser then a moment, he tamed in his stirrups
to thank me sot the slight service I had rendered
him, and giving an address, which I have now
forgotten, he added that if ever I should enter
’s valley, I might be sure of a cordial wel
come by the proprietor.
An hoar afterwards I was pursuing the same
j rna d, and rapidly approaching the end of my day’s
journey. The immediate district through which
; f was travelling, had been settled by Germans, in
the early uays ot Pennsylvania, a scattered com
munity that had been thrown somewhat in ad
vance of the more slowly extended settlements.
In populousness and fertility it did not compare
wiih the regions on the eastern side of the moun
tains; but the immense stone barns, which, though
few and far between, occasionally met the eye,
not less than the language spoken around me,
i indicated that the inhabitants were of the same
origin with the ignorant Hut industrious denizens
of the lower country. One of these stone build
ings, an enormous and ungainly edifice, stood
upon a hill immediately back of "the Wolfswald
hotel—a miserable wooden hovel where I was to
pass the night—and while descending the hill in
the rear of the village, I had leisure to observe
that it presented a somewhat diflerent appearance
from the other agucukural establishments of the
kii d which I bad met with during the day. The
massive walls were pierced here and there with
narrow w-ndows, which looked like loopholes,
and a clumsy chimney had been fitted up by
some unskilful mechanic, against one of the ga
bles (with a prodigality of materials which made
its jagged top show like some old turret, in the
growing twilight. The history of this grotesque
j mansion, as 1 suhsequenlty learned it, was that of
a hundred others scattered over our country, and
; known generally in the neighborhood as‘Smith’s,’
|or ‘ I hompson s folly.” It had been commenced
i upon an ambitious scale, by a jrerson whose
| means were inadequate to its completion, and had
; been sacrificed at a public sale when half finish
ed, in order to liquidate the claim of the mechan
ics employed upon it. After that, it had been
used as a granary for a while, and subsequently,
being rudely completed without any reference to
; the original plan, it had been occupied as a hotel
for a few years. It had now, however, for a long
period been abandoned entirely, and enjoyed the
gene al reputation in the neighborhood of being
haun.ed; tor ghosts and goblins aie always sure
to take a big hou e off a landlord's hands, when
he can get no other tenant.
“We have no room for mynheer,” said mine
host, Peter Scudston, laying his hand on mv bri
dle. as I rode up to the door of the only inn in
j the place; while three or four wagoners, smo
i tlie ‘r pipes upon a bench in front of the
| bouse, gave a grunt of confirmation to the frank
i avowal ot Peter. I was too old a stager, how
' ever, to be thus summarily turned away at such
an hour; and throwing myselt from my horse
without further parley, I told the landlord to get
j me some supper, and we would talk about lodg
ing afterwards.
It matters not how I got through the evening
antil the hour of bed time arrived. I had soon
ascertained that every bed in the hostelrie w r as re
ally taken up, and that unless I choose to share
his straw with one of the wagoners, who are ac
customed to sleep in their lumbering vehicles,
there was no resource for me, except to occupy
the lonely building, which had first caught my
eye upon entering the hamlet. Upon inquiring
as to the accommodation it afforded, I learned
that, though long deserted by any permanent oc
cupants, it was still occasionally, notwithstanding
its evil reputation, resorted to by the passing tra
veller, and that one or two rooms were yet in
good repair and partially furnished. The good !
woman of the house, however, looked very por
tentous, when I expressed my determination to
take up my abode lor the night in the haunted
ruin—though she tried, ineffectually, to rouse her
sleeping husband to guide me thither. Mine
host had been luxuriating too freely in some old
Monoagahela, brought by a return wagon from
Wheeling, to hee l the jogging of his spouse,
and I was obliged to act as ray own gentleman
usher.
The night was dark and gusty, as with my sad
die bags in one hand and a stable-lantern in the
other, I sallied from the door of the carbaret, and
struggled up the broken hill in its rear, to gain
my uninviting place of rest. A rude porch,
which seemed to have been long unconscious of
a door, admitted me into the building, and track
ing my way with s me difficulty through a long
corridor, ot which the floor appeared to have been
ripped open here and there, in order to apply the
boards to some other purpose, I came to a steep
and narrow staircase without any balusters.
Cautiously ascending, I found myself in a large
hall which opened on the hill side, against which
the house was built. It appeared to he lighted
by a couple of windows only, which were par
tially giazed in some places, and closed up in oth
ers by rough boards nailed across in lieu of shut
ters. It had evidently, however, judging from
two or three pieces of ruined furniture, been in
habited. A heavy door, whose oaken l.fch and
hinges, being incapable of rust, were still in good
repair, admitted me into an adjoining chamber.—
This had evidently been the dormitory of the cs
tab.i-hment, whtre the guests, after the gregari
ous and most disagreeable fashion of our couu
try were wont lo he huddled together in one
large room. Toe waning m»on, whose bright

fore th 3 rays of my miserable lantern, hail shot
beyond 'he threshold.
Upon approaching the pallet, I observed some
indications of that end of the apartment being
still occasionally occupied. The heavy beams
which traversed the ceiling appeared to have been
recently Whitewashed. There was a small piece
of carpet on the floor beside the bed, a deeripit
table, and an arm-chair whose burly- body was
precariously supported upon three legs, were
holding an innocent tete-a-tclc in the corner adja
cent.
I've had a rougher roosting place than this,
thought I, as I placed my lantern upon the table,
i.nd deposited my saddle-bags beneath it, began
to prepare myself for rest.
My light having now burnt low, I was com
pelled to expedite the operation of undressing,
which prevented me from examining the rest of
the apartment; and indeed, although I had, when
first welcoming with some pleasure the idea of
sleeping in a haunted house, determined fully to
explore it for rnv own satisfaction before retiring
for the night, yet, fatigue or caprice made me
now ready to ah ndon the intention, just when
my means f*r carrying it into execution, were be
ing withdrawn; for the caudle expired, while I
was opening the door of the lantern, to throw its
light more fully upon a mass of drape’y, which
seemed to he suspended across the farther end of
the chamber. The complete darkness that mo
mentarily ensued, of course, blinded me complete
ly; but in the course of a few moments the shad
ows became more distinct, and gradually, by the
light of the moon, I was able l* make out that
the object opposite to me, was only a large old
ftshioned bedstead, prodigiously bung with tat
tered curtains. I gave no farther thought to the
subject, but turning over, composed myself to
rest.
Sleep however, whom Shakspeare alone has
had the serse to personify as a woman, was coy
in coming to my coach. The stout old mansion
seemed to wheeze and groan, like a hale sexage
narian with the asthma. The wind, which had
been high, became soon more boisterous than ev
er, and the clouds huddled so rapidly over tho
face of the moon, that her beams were as broken
as the crevices of the ruined building through
which they fell. A sudden gust would every now
and then sweep through the long corridor below,
and make the rickctty staircase crack, as if it
yielded to the feet of some portly passenger—
again, the blast would die away in a sullen moan
as if bafSed on some wild night errand, while
anon, it would swell in monotonous surges, which
came booming upon the ear like the roar of a dis
tant ocean.
I am not easily discomposed, and perhaps none
of these uncouth sounds would have given an
noyance, if the clanging of the window shutter
had not been added to the general chorus, and ef
lectually kept me from sleeping. My nerves
were at last becoming sensibly affected by ite
ceaseless din, and wishing to cut short the fit of
restlessness which I found stealing upon me, I
determined to rise and descend the stairs at the
risk of my neck to try and secure the shutter so
as to put an end to the nuisance.
But now, as I rose in my bed for this purpose,
I found myself subjected to a new cours_ an
noyance. The mocking wind, which had ap
peared tome more than once to syllable human
sounds, came at length upon my ear distinctly,
charged wiili tones which could not be mistaken.
If was the hard, suppressed breathing of a man. I
listened, and it ceased with alight gasp, like that
of one laboring under suffocation. I listened
still, am) it came anew—stronger and more fully
upon my ear. It was like the thick aspirations
of an appopleclic. Whence it proceeded, I knew
not. But that it was not near me, I was certain.
A suspicion of rohherry—possibly, assassination
flashed upon me; but were instantly discarded
as foreign to the character of the people among
whom I was travelling.
i’he moonlight now fell full upon the curtained
bed opposite to me, and I saw the tattered dra
pery move, as if the frame upon which it was
suspended, were agitated. I watched, I confess,
with some peculiar feeling of interest. I was
not alarmed, but an unaccountable anxiety crept
over me. At length, the curtain parted, and a
naked human leg was protruded through i s folds
—the foot came with a bump, dead-like sound to
the floor—resting there, it seemed to me at least
halt a minute before the body to which It belong
ed was discovered to rny view. Slowly, then, a
pallid and unearthly looking figure emerged from
the couch, and stood with its startling lineaments
clearly drawn against the dingy curtain behind
it. It appeared to be balancing itself for a mo
ment, and then began to move along from the
bed. But there was something horribly unnatu
ral in its motions. Its feet came to the door witn
a dull heavy round, as if there we re no vitality in
them. Its arms hung, apparently, paralyzed by
its side, and the only nerve of rigidity in its
frame appeared about its head ; —the hair, which
was thin ami scattered, stood out in rigid turfs
from its brow—the eyes w re dilated and fixed
with an expression of ghastly horror, and the
petrified lips moved not, as the hideois moaning,
which came from the bottom of its chest escaped
them.
It began to move across the floor in the direc
tion of my bed —its knees at every step having
drawn up with a sudden jerk nearly to its body,
and ils feet coming to the ground as if they moved
by some n.achinical impulse, and were wholly
wanting in the elasticity of living menioers. It
approached my bed—and mingled horror and cu
riosity kept me still. It came and stood beside
it, and child like I still clung to my couch, mov
ing only to the farther side. Slowly, and with
the same uonatuial toot falls it pursued me thith
er, and again I changed my position, h placed
iisclf then at the toot of rny bedstead and moved by
ils f iteous groans, I tried to look calmly at it, I
endeavored to rally my thoughts— to reason with
myself, and even to speculate upon the nature
of the object before me. One idea that went
through my brain was 100 extravagant not to re
member. I thought among other things, that the
phantom wasa corpse, animated for the moment
by some galvanic process, in order to terrify me.
Then, as I recollected that there was no one in the
village to carry such a trick into effect—suppos
ing even the experiment possible—l rejected tbo
supposition. How, too, could those awful moans
be produced from an inanimate being .■ And yet,
it seemed as if every thing about it were dead,
except the mere capability of moving its feet, and
uttering those unearthly expressions of suffering.
The sceptre, however, if so it may be called gave
me but little opportunity for reflection. Its ghast
ly limbs were raised anew with the same auto
mation movement, and placing one of its feet
upon the bottom of my bed, whilst its glassy eves
were fixed steadfastly upon me, it began stalking
towards my pillow.
I confess that I was now in an agony of ter
ror.
I sprang from the couch and fled the apart
ment. Ins keen siuhtedness of fear enabled me
to discover an open closet upon the other ■ i-Jt* of

closed the door quickly after me. It had neither
