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. O-Rev.Jas. E. Godfrey is known to the public as a local Methodist Minister, and is engaged in merchandizing in Savannah, where he may be addressed on the subject. W. W. M. Doe West Corner, ) Abbeville District, S. C., July 13, 1848. J 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, ington llall, has a knowledge of Mr. 'Parley's 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. VV W M. apr'il 28 22 CAt iiOi\ EX IKA 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 COMPARED WITH THE OLD DIPS, because of one GRAND PACT, that the one is INUAFA BLE of DETERIORATION, and NEVER SPOILS, while the other DO MS ; souring, fermenting, ami blurring the bottles containing it into fragments ; ilic sour, acid liquid exploding, and damaging other goods ! Must not this horri ble coni|>otlnd lie poisonous to the system?— lYhat! put ceid into a system already diseased irith acid! What causes Dysjtepsla hut acid ? Do we not all know that when food sours in our stomachs, what mischiefs it produces ? Until* lence, heartburn, palpitation of the heart, liver complaint, diarrhiea. dysentery, colic, nnd corruption of the lilo<kll What is Scrofula hut an acid humor in the body ? What produces nil the humors which bring on Eruptions of the Skin, Scald Head, Salt Rheum. Erysipelas, White Swell lugs, Fever Sores, nnd nil ulcerations internal nnd external? It is nothing under heaven, but nn acid substance, which sours, and thus spoils all the ttuids ofthe body, more or less. What causes Rheumatism but a sour or acid fluid which insinuates itself between the joints nnd elsexv here, irritating and inflaming the delicate tissues upon which it sets? So of nervous diseases, of impurity ofthe bloml, 01 deranged circulations, and nearly ull the ailments w Inch ailhct human nature. 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 portunily and means to bring his Grain! Universal Concentrated Remedy within the reach, and to the knowledge of all who need it, that (hey may learn and know, by joyful experience, its Transcendent Power to Ileal. For sale by J. 11. A XV.

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. TERMS: For one copy of the Daily Globe (daily (luring the session of Congress, and Weekly during the recess,) a year, : : $5 00 For one copy ofthe Weekly Globe, one year,2 00 For one copy of the Congressional Globe, during the next session, if subscribed for before the first day of January, 1 00 For one copy of the Appendix during the next session, if subscribed for beforo the first day of January, : 1 00 For six copies of either the Congressional Globe, or the Appendix, or part of both, 5 00 The subscription for the Congressional Globe or the Appendix, after the Ist of January, will be Jjjil 50. The original price of One Dollar does not pay the expenses ofthe publication in consequence of the great increase of matter pub lished. Our prices for these papers are so low that we cannot afford to credi) them out ; therefore no person need consume time in ordoriug them, unless the subscription price accompanies the order.

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 other country. For the correctness of this as sertion lie refers to his pamphlet on Cancer, &c., which may be obtained gratis, by appli cation to him by letter (post paid) or otherwise. 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, dec 2 I—ts Godcy’s Lady’s liook lor 1819.
