I'istula in Ano curl'd without tlic
use of the Knife.
DR \V tV MARSHALL; of Macon, Ga.,
would call the attention of the Public to a
number of certificates published, and which he
will continue to publish in various papers in the
State, of eases of Fistula rured by him. In the
treatment ofFistula, recourse is generally had
to the knife, which is always painfui and often
hazardous and very frequently unsuccessful.
More than one half of the cases that have
come under his care of late, had been subject to
the knife without experiencing the least benefit,
but rather made worse. They were perfectly
cured by Dr. M. without the use of the knife, or
any such operation, without the least danger, and
vrith but little or no pain. In most cases the
treatment does not prevent the ordinary pursuits
of business, although the patient is necessarily
obliged to be under the immediate care and su
pervision of the Doctor from one to four weeks,
accordingly as the nature and circumstances of
the case tnay demand.
Dr. M. does not exaggerate, when he says that
the plan of treatment he pursues is obliged to
succeed in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred,
jf not in every case of Fistula.
Savannah, March 15, 184!).
This is to certify that for near fifteen years I
Was afflicted with that dreadful disease. Fistula,
and for the last twelve months suffered so much
pain, as to incapacitate me almost from atten
ding to iny business. —During this time I consul
ted several physicians both in this city and
Charleston, and was informed by all of them,
the disease was incurable save by the knife of the
surgeon. Learning the operation was not only
very painful hut dangerous and not always suc
cessful, I was very mush opposed to submit to it,
and allowed the disease to progress so far as to
present the alternative to submit to he operated
upon, or die. At this time I saw Dr. Marshall’s
card in the Christian Advocate, and communi-
cated with him on the subject, and after being
satisfied that he did euro the disease, I determined
to place myself under his treatment, and he com
menced to treat my case. I remained there
four weeks and returned home nearly well, and
I am happy now to say entirely restored. 1 would
no doubt have been entirely well much sooner,
but kept the place irritated from riding every
day on horseback sevcrl miles. With regard to
the Doctor’s treatment, it is attended compara
tively with little pain, I was at no time confined
to the bed more than one day, and to the house
hut a very short time, lie used no knife, (and
so far as I could judge) no caustic.
I am perfectly satisfied that the Doctor, with
his peculiar mode of practice, can cure the most
cases of Fistula with less pain to the patient, in
a shorter time and with more certainty than any
physician that I have heard of, and would with
great confidence, arising from experience, advise
all who are afflicted with this dreadful malady,
not to hesitate hut at once to place themselves
tinder his treatment, and I doubt not their most
sanguine expectations will he realized.
Itgi ves me great pleasure to say that in all my
intercourse with Dr. Marshall, 1 found him the
perfect gentleman, and an intelligent, devoted
christain. J AS. E. GODFREY.

Dr VV. W. M arsiiak.l— Dear Sir—Believing
as I <Io, that you have effectually cureil tne of
tlie Fistula, an exceedingly stubborn, painful
and dangerous disease, I take pleasure in contri
buting my mite for the purpose of relieving the
sufferings of those who may be afflicted with a
similar disease.
I suffered from the painful effects of this dis
ease for more than two years. Three or four
Physicians, combining the talent ot the. State,
were employed for my relief, but their united ef
forts were unsuccessful. My health grew worse
afid worse—l became debilitated in body and
mind, and my friends entertained fearful appre
hensions of my recovery.
Casually looking over a paper published in
Charleston, S. C., my attention was arrested by a
notice ofthe signal professional services of Dr.
W. XV. Marshall of effecting a cure in cases of
Fistula, &c. The card purported to effect a
Cure without the use ofthe knife or caustic. 1
must say rny faith was weak, but I resolved to
give him a trial. 1 placed myself under his care
and treatment. lie has effected a perfect cure —
my whole frame is invigorated—lie has infused
new life into my hitherto dead body—l have ex
perienced a resurrection from the dead, and all
the energizing and renovating effects of anew
Creation. lam in very deed anew man. My
better convictions are that you have saved me
from an untimely death, which the use of the
knife or caustic could not have prevented hut
hastened. Yours, respectfully,
CORNELIUS M. SHARP.
Irwinton, March 20, 1848.
De ar Sir —ln compliance with your request,
t send you a certificate of the cure which you so
soon performed on me, of that dreadful disease
Fistula, and I think there is no person living, 1
who has greater reason to bo grateful for your
kindness than myself, in being cured of that
dreadful disease, which all who saw me, believ
ed if not checked, would in a short time, termin
ate my mortal existence. Sometime in the
month of April, 184 G, a small hard tumor made
its appearance near the verge of the arms, which
in a short time became soft, and discharged at
times a considerable portion of offensive matter,
during which time I began to decline, and con
tinued to decline until some time in the month
of March, 1847, when I was confined to my bed,
without knowing with what disease I was af
flicted, until Dr. William Fisher, of Irwinton,
was called in, and pronounced the disease to he
Fistula in ano.
I then asked the Doctor if he thought he could
cure me? —he answered he thought lie could,
but that I must expect to suffer a long time be
fore he could perform a permanent cure. The
Doctor then commenced treating the case, and
continued to do so for seven weeks, without any
material benefit, and then advised me to go to
Macon and place myself under your control, as
he knew you from character, to be a gentleman
of intelligence, piety and experience. I accord
ingly went to Macon and placed myself under
your control, and in a shorter time than I ex
pected, found myself greatly benefitted by your
treatment.
1 have now entirely recovered my long lost
health, and can say with propriety, that 1 enjoy
better health than 1 have for five years previous.
I often on inquiry hear from you, and rejoice to
hear that you are in good health, and as soon as
circumstances will permit, I will visit Macon, as
I can then express my gratitude to you in person.
With due respect, I am sir, your obliged and
humble servant, EDWIN' TARPLEY.
Dr. Marshall.
ffJ’Mr. Williams, late Proprietor of the Wash,

case, as ire boarded at the Washington Hall while
under my care.
In this case there were three abscesses, all of
them complete, viz : external and internal. The
discharge was very copious, at least a half a pint
per day, and very acrid and offensive. There
could not be a worse case to be cured.

A man by the name of CLAVE has er.esifred with ft
yosng man of the name of S. I*. Townsend, and use* hit
name to j»ut tip it Sarsaparilla, which they call Dr. Town
send's Sarsaparilla, denominating it GF.N (’/.VK, Original,
etc. This Townsend is no doctor, and never was ; bat was
formerly a worker on mlTroads, canals, and the like. Yet he
assumes the title of Dr., for the pariiose of gaining credit for
what he is not. This is to caution the public not to be
deceived, and purchase none hut the G F.NUINE ORIGI
NAL 01.1) Dr. Jacob Townsend’s Sarsaparilla, having on
it the Old Dr’s likeness, his family coat of arms, and his
signature across the coat of arm*.
Principal Office, 102 Nassau st., New York Cits.
nl.l>
THE OIUCIN AI, DISCOVERER OF THE
Genuine Townsend Sarsaparilla.
Old Dr Townsend is now about 70 year# of ace, and ha*
long been known us the A U'l'HOR and DISCOVERF.R
of the GENUINE ORIGINAL “ TOfVNSEND SAR
SAPAIiI/.LA.'' Being poor, he was compelled to limit its
manufacture, by which means it has been Kept out of mar
ket, and the sales circumscribed to fhose only who had
proved its worth, and known its value. It had reached
the ears of many, nevertheless, as those |>orsnnH who had
been healed of sore diseases, and saved from death, pro
claimed its excellence nnd wonderful
HEALING POWER.
Knowing, many years ugo. that he had, by his skill,
science and exfienence, devised an article which would he
of incalculable advantage t" mankind when the means
would he furnished to bring it into universal notice, when
Its inestimable virtues would be known and appreciated.
This time has come, the means arc supplied ; this
GRAND AND UNE({ UALL ED PREPARATION
is manufactured on the largest scale, and is called for
throughout the length and breadth of the land, e-qiecially
as it is found incapable of degeneration or deterioration.
Unlike young r*. I’. Townsend’s, it improves with age, and
never changes, hut for the better . because it is prepared on
scientific principles by a scientific man. The highest know l
edge of Chemistry, and the latest discoveries of the art,
have all been brought into requisition in the manufacture
of the Old Dr’j Sarsaparilla. The Sarsaparilla root, it is
well known to medical men, contains many medicinal pro
parties, and some properties which are inert or useless, and
others, which if retained in preparing it for use, produce
fermentation and acul . which is injurious to the system.
Some of the pro|»erties of Sarsaparilla are so volatile, that
they entirely evaporate and are lost in the preparation, if
they are not preserved by a scientific process, known only
to those ex|»erienced in its manufacture. Moreover, these
volatile prtncijdrs, which ily oil In vapor, or as an exhula- |
linn, under her*!, sr** 0»« very essential medical properties
n( the root, which give to it all its value.
Any person can boil or stew the root till they get a dark
colored liquid, which is more from the coloring matter in
the root than from any thing else; they can then straiu
this Insipid or vapid liquid, sweeten with soor molasses,
«nd then call it "SARSAPARILLA EXTRACT or SY
RUP.’’ But such is not the article known as the
GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND’S
SARSAPARILLA.
This is so prepared, that ail the inert properties of the
Sarsaparilla root are first removed, every thing capable of
becoming acid or of fermentation, is extracted and rejected ;
then every particle of medical virtue is secured in a pure
and concentrated form ; and thus it is rendered incapable of
losing any of its valuable and healing properties. Prepared
in this way, it is made the most powerful agent in the
Cure of innumerable diseases.
Hence the reason why we hear commendations on every
side in its favor by men, women, ami children. We find it
doing wonder* in the cure of
CONSUMPTION, DYSPEPSIA, and LIVER COM
PLAINT . and in RHEUMATISM , SCROFULA.
PILES, ( OS’J'IVENESS, all CUTANEOUS EH UP
'PICNS, PIMPLES , BLOCTUES , and all affections
arising from
IMPURITY OK THE BLOOD.
It possesses u marvellous efficacy in all complaints arising
from Indigestion, from Acidity of the Stomach, from unequal
circulation, determination of blood to the head, palpitation
of the heart, cold feet and hands, cold chilis and not flashes
over the body. It has not its equal in Colds and Coughs ;
and promotes easy expectoration and gentle perspirution,
relaxing stricture of the lungs, throat, and every other jmrt.
But in nothing is its excellence more manifestly seen and
acknowledged than in all kinds and stages of
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
It works wonders in cases of Fluor Albus tit IVhitrs, Fdl
mg of the tVoind, Obstructed, Suppressed , or Painful Menses,
Irregularity of the menstrual periods, and the like, and
is as etTectual in curing all the forms of Kidney Diseases.
By removing obstructions, and regulating the general
system, it gives tone and strength to the whole body, aud
thus cures all forms of
Nervous diseases and debility,
and thus prevents or relieves a great variety of other mala
dies, as Spinal irritation. Neuralgia, St. Vitus' Dance
Swooning , Epileptic, Fits, Convulsions, kc.
It cleanses the blood, excites the liver to healthy action,
tones the stomach, and gives good digestion, relieves the
bowels of torpor and constipation, allays inflammation,
purifies the skin, equalises the circulation of the blood,
producing gentle warmth equally all over the body, and
the insensible perspiration ; relaxes all strictures and light
ness, removes all obstructions, and invigorates the entire
nervous system Is not this then
The medicine you pre-eminently need ]
But can any of these things be said ofS. P. Tow nsend’s
1 iufenor article? This young man’s liquid is not to tie

Dysjtepsla hut acid ? Do we not all know that when food

It is nothing under heaven, but nn acid substance, which

which insinuates itself between the joints nnd elsexv here,

Mow is it not horrible to make and sell, and infinitely
worst to use this
SULKING. FERMENTING, ACID “COM
POUND” OF S. P. TOWNSEND,
ind yet he would fain have it understood that Old Dr. Jacob
I’ownsend's Genuine Original Sarsaparilla, is an IMITA
I'ION of his Inferior preparation !!
Heaven forbid that wc should deni in an nrticle which
would bear the most distant resemblance to I\ Town
send's article! and which should bring down upon the Old
Dr. such a mountain load of complaints and criminations
from Agents who have sold, and purchasers who have used
5. Townsend’s FERMENTING COMPOUND.
We wish it understood, because it is the absolute truth,
that H. I’. Tow nsend's article and Old Dr. Jacob Town
send's Sarsaparilla are hearen-wide apart, and infinitely dis
similar; that they are unlike in every particular, having
not one *ingle thine in common.
As S. I*. Townsend is no doctor, and never was, is no
chemist, no pharmaceutist—knows no more of medicine or
disease than any othercoinmon, unscientific, unprofessional
unin. \v hat guarantee can the public have that they are re
ceiving a genuine scientific medicine containing all the
virtues ofthe articles used in preparing it. nnd which are in
capable of changes which might render them the AGENTS
of Disease instead of health.
Hut what else should he expected from one who know*
nothing comparatively of medicine or disease '. It requires
a l>erson of some experience to cook nnd serve up even a
common decent meal. How much more important is it that
the persons w ho manufacture medicine, designed for
WEAK STOMACHS AND ENFEEBI.KD SYSTEMS,
shosld know well the medical properties of plants, the
best manner of securing and concentrating their healing
virtues, also an extensive knowledge of the various diseases
w hich affect the human system, and how to adapt remedies
to these diseases!
It is to arrest frauds upon the unfortunate, to pmiT balm
into wounded humanity, to kindle hope in the despairing
bosom, to restore health and bloom, and vigor into the
crushed and broken, and to banish Infirmity that ODD DR.
JACOB TOWNSEND has SOUGHT and FOUND the op

that (hey may learn and know, by joyful experience, its

.1 Congressional, Agricultural and Literary
JS’etcspaper.
'■MIL Editors of the Congressional Globe pro
§_ pose anew publication. To deserve the
patronage which Congress has accorded to their
reports of its debates, in receiving and making
the Globe the official register, they intend to add
promptitude to whatever merit has hitherto re
commended the work. They will publish a
Daily Globe, to record the proceedings and de
bates as they occur ; and a Congressional Globe
periodically", as heretofore, embodying the re
ports of Congress separate from the miscellaneous
matter which will accompany them in the daily
print. To fill the sheet of the daily newspaper,
it is designed to gather the news from all quar
ters, and complete the contents by drawing from
every source that may be of most interest among
literary novelties, and of greatest utility in scien
tific and practical works on agriculture. For
material, the leading journals and periodicals of
France and Great Britain, treating of such sub
jects, will be consulted, and, it is hoped, advan
tageously used. Original essays, especially on
topics connected with agriculture, will be obtain
ed from the most enlightened and practical men
of our country.
The Globej as a newspaper, and as a vehicle
of information and amusement in other respects,
will be under the charge of Fkancis I*. Blair
and James C. Pickett. The Congressional
department and business concerns of the paper
will he under the management of John C. Rives.
The public are familiar with Blair and Rives as
connected with the press. In introducing Mr.
Pickett as one of the concern, they will be al
lowed to say a few words of him. He is a gen
tleman favorable known to tiie Government, for
talent and judgment which distinguished his di
plomatic service while connected with the mis
sion to Quito ; and more recently when Charge
d’Affaires to Peru. From his pen mainly the
Globe will derive the selections and translations
front the French journals and periodicals, the
comments on them, and the other literary articles
which will be found among its chief attractions.
The Globe will be published daily during the
session of Congress, and Weekly the balance of
the year, and will undergo distribution in the
form of a Weekly Globe, a Congressional Globe
and an Appendix.
The Weekly Globe will be the vehicle of the
miscellaneous articles of the daiiy print, with a
synopsis of the Congressional proceedings.
The Congressional Globe will embody, as it
has done for the last sixteen years, Congression
al pi oceedings and debates exclusively.
The Appendix will embrace the revised
speeches separately, and the messages ot the
President of the United States, and the reports
of the Heads ofthe Executive Departments.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
be published as fast a,s the proceedings of Con
gress will make a number. Subscribers may ex
pect one number of each a week during the first
four weeks of a session, and two or three num
bers of each a week afterwards, until the end of
the session.
Nothing of a political party aspect will appear
in the Globe save that which will be found in
the Congrcssiohal reports. A paper assuming
to be an impai tial vehicle for all sides, cannot
maintain its character if the editorial columns
rctlect a party hue. The Editors of the Globe
have borne their share in the party conflicts of
the press They claim an honorable discharge
from the vocation. The Globe will inviolably
maintain the neutrality which its relation to
Congress imposes.

UfOULD respectfully inform all persons af
flicted with Cancer, Fistula, Wens, and
all ulcers and tumors, originating tront whatso
cvcrcause, that he is permanently located in
the city of Macon, where he may he found
both summer and winter. Dr. M. would guard
the public against false reports, viz : that he
had removed from Georgia—that he was dead,
or deranged in mind. It alsoappears that some
itinerant and other doctors, are making, or try
ing to make, the false impression that they
treated diseases precisely as Dr. M. does, there
by misrepresenting him, and deceiving their
patients, some of whom, of late, have been
wofuily imposed upon, and have been obliged
to visit Dr. M. at lust. Dr. M. deems it only
necessary toadd, that hisformer and continues
success in the management of these diseases, is
conclusive evidence of the superiority of his
practice over all others known in this, or and

sertion lie refers to his pamphlet on Cancer,
&c., which may be obtained gratis, by appli

For the further encouragement of the afflicted
Dr. M. would just add, that on their arrival at
Macon, they will have the most abundant tes
timony in favor of the utility of the treatment,
by having access to those who have been made
whole, and also to those who are continually
under treatment from various parts of the Union,
in every stage and variety of the complaints.—
The treatment is without the use of the knife,
or caustic, and is both constitutional and local,

tributes to every number.

number, illustrative ofCroomo’s Sketches of A

Agreeable to the practise of last year, the pub
lisher will issue as good a number each month
as lie docs in January. This is a novel feature
in Magazine publishing. During the whole of
last year he gave more engravings and more
reading matter than any of liis contemporaries,
and will continue to do so next year. Those
who subscribe to GODEY’S LADY’S BOOK,
may do so under the assurance that they will re
ceive more foj their money in the Magazine a
lone, than by subscribing to any other work.
To this is added and included in the same $3, the
LADY’S DOLLAR NEWSPAPER, which
contains in one month nearly, if not quite as
much reading matter as the other monthlies,
making for $3, the amount of reading of two
magazines a month. There are peculiarities a
bout Godcy’s Lady’s Book for the Ladies that
no other Magazine possesses. There is a Mez
zotint and Line Engraving in each number—
both by the best artists. In addition to these,
there are given monthly what no other Maga
zine gives—a colored Fashion Plate, w ith a full
description. This feature is peculiar to Godey,
as no other work has them every month nnd eo
lored. Then there arc Caps, Bonnets, Chemi
setts, Equestrianism for Ladies, with Engravings.
The Ladies' Work Table, with designs for knit
ting-netting, crotchet,and all other kinds of
work. Patterns for Smoking Caps, Chair Covers
Window Curtains, D'Oyloy’s Purses, Bags, Ac.
Health and Beauty, with Engravings. Model
Cottages, with ground plans and other engrav
ings, always illustrative of something useful.
M usic,beautifully printed on tinted paper,which
may he taken out nnd hound. Colored Modern
Cottages,and colored Flower pieces occasionally.
These are all extra in Godey, and to be found
in no other Magazine. These were all given
last year and will be continued. In addition we
shall have in every number one of
“CROOME’S SKETCHES OF AMERICAN
CHARACTERISTICS,”
A most amusing series, now first given to the
American public. Thesevvill be illustrated in
every number by a Story from the powerful pen
ofT.S. Arthur, Esq.
• “THE CHANGES OF FASHION,
Illustrated by Fay Robinson, Esq. This series
will be very interesting to the Ladies.
“THE APPLICABILITY OF THE FINE
ARTS TO DOMESTIC USES,”
Is another series of Engravings now in propara
tion, and will be published during the year.
COTTAGE FURNITURE.
Having given so many Model Cottages, we in
tend now to commence the publication of Cottage
Furniture—a very necessary appendage to a
Cottage.
RELIGION AND HISTORY.
Our superior artists, Walters, Tucker, Pease and
Welch, are now engaged upon a set of Plates
illustrative of these two subjects.
OUR MUSIC,
Prepared expressly for us—mostly original, and
beautifully printed, has long commanded a de
cided preference over that of any other Maga
zine. It is a feature iu the Book.
