Fistula in Ann cured w ithout the 1
use of the Knife.
DR. W. W. MARSHALL, of Macon, On.,
would call the attention of the Public to a
number of certificate* published, and which lie
will continue to publish in various papers in the
State, of cases of Fis'ulacured by him. In the
treatment ofFistula, recourse is generally had
to the knife, which is always painful and often
hazardous and very frequently unsuccessful.
More than one half of the cases that have
come under his care of late, had lieen subject to
the knife w ithout 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
with but little or no pain. In most cases the
treatment does not prevent the ordinary pursuits
of business, although the patient is necessaiily
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 may demand.
Dr. M. does not exaggerate, when lie savs that
the plan of treatment he pursues is obliged to
succeed in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred,
if not in every case of Fistula.
Savannah, March 15, 18-19.
This is to certify that for near fifteen years 1
was afflicted with that dreadful disease Fistula,
and for tile Inst twelve months suffered so much
pain, as to incapacitate me almost from atten
ding to my 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 but dnngerous and nut always suc
cessful, 1 was very mush opposed to submit to it,
and allowed the disease to progress so fur as to
present the alternative to submit to be 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 cure the disease, I determined
to place myself under his treatment, und he com
menced to treat my case. 1 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 severl miles. Wi ll 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. He used no knife, (and
so far as I could judge) no caustic.
lam perfectly satisfied that ttic 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 l 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
under his treatment, and I doubt not their most
sanguine expectations will he realized.
It gives me great pleasure to say that in all my
intercourse with Dr. Marshall, I found him the
perfect gotilleman, and an intelligent, devoted
christain. JAS. E GODFREY.

Abbeville District,S.C., Jaly 13, 1848. j
Dr. W. \V. Marshal!.— Dear Sir — Relieving
as I do, that you have effectually cured me ot
the Fistula, an exceedingly stubborn, painful
and dangerous disease, 1 take pleasure in contri
buting my mite for the purpose of relieving the
sufferings of those who may be afflicted with a
similar disease.
1 suffered from the painful effects of this dis
ease for more than two years. Three or four
Physicians, combining the talent ol the State,
were employed for my relief, but their united ef
forts were unsuccessful. My health grew worse
and worse —I became debilitated in body and
mind, and’ny 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 oftlie signal professional services of Dr.
W. W. Marshall of effecting a cure in rases of I
Fistula, &c. The card purported to effect a
cure without the use of the knife or caustic. I
must say my faith was weak, but I resolved to
give him a trial. I placed myself under his care
and treatment. lie lias effected a perfect cure—
mv whole frame is invigorated—lie has infused I
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 j
better convictions are that you have saved me j
from an untimely death, which the use of the
knife or caustic could not have prevented but
hastened. Y’ours, respectful Iv,
CORNELIUS M. SHARP.
Irwinton, March 20, 1848.
Dear Sin—ln compliance with jour request,
I send you a certificate of the cure which you so
soon performed on inc, of that dreadful disease
Fistula, and 1 think there is no person living,
who has greater reirson to lie grateful for vour
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, 1846, 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 1 was confined to my bed, j
without knowing with what disease I was af
flicted, until Dr. William Fisher, of Irwinton, !
was called in, and pronounced the disease to be
Fistula in ano.
I then asked the Doctor if lie thought he con’d ]
cure me?—he answered he thought he could,
hut that I must expert to suffer a long time be
fore lie could perforin a permanent cure. The |
Doctor then commenced treating the case, and ■
continued to do so for seven weeks, w ithout au\ -
material benefit, and then advised me to go to
Macon and place myself under your control, as
he knew you from character, to boa 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 bciiefittcd by your
treatment.
1 have now entirely recovered my long lost
health, and can say with propriety, that 1 enjoy
better health than I have for five years previous, i
I often on inquiry hear from you, and rejoice to
hear that you are in good health, and as soon as
circumstances will permit, 1 will visit Macon, as
1 can then express my gratitude to you in person
With due respect, I am sir, vour obliged and
humble servant, EDWIN TARPLEY.
Dr. Marshall.
ILF Mr. Will jams, late Proprietor oftlie Wash,
ingten Hall, has a knowledge of Mr. Turley’s
case, as he boarded at the Washington Hall while
under my cars.
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.

proved Us worth, and known its value. It had reached
the ears of many, nevertheless, as those persons w ho had
been healed of sore diseases, and saved Iroin death, pro
claimed its excellence and wonderful
HEALING POWER.
Knowing, many years ago, that he had. by his skill,
science and experience, devised an article which would he
of incalculable advantage to mankind when the means
would he furnished to bring it into universal notice, when
its inestimable virtues would be known and appreciated.
This tune has come, the means are supplied ; this
GU.KYI) AND VJYF.QUAhLF.It PREPARATION
is manufactured on the largest scale, and is called for
throughout the length and breadth of the land, especially
as it is found incapable of degeneration or deterioration.
Unlike young S. J* Townsend’s, it improves w ith age, and
never changes, but for the better: because it is prepared on
scientific principles by a scientific man. The highest knowl
edge of Chemistry. and the latest discoveries of the art,
have all I»een brought into requisition in the manufacture
of the Old Dr’s Sarsaparilla. The Sarsaparilla root, it is
well known to nut he a I men, contains many medicinal pro
portlets and some properties which are inert or useless, and
otliers. which if retained in preparing it for use, produce
fermHO-ituni and acid , which is injurious to the system.
Some of the properties of Sarsaparilla are so volatile, that
they entirely evaporate and are lo t in the preparation, if
they are not preserved by a scientific process, known only
to those experienced in its nmnuficiuie. Moreover, these
volatile principles, which fly oil in vapor, or as an exhala
tion. under h nt. are the very essential medical properties
if the root, which give to it all it« value.
Any person can boil or stew the root till they get a darfc
eolored liquid, which is more from the coloring matter in
the root than from any thing else: they can then strain
this Insipid or vapid liquid, sweeten w ith sour molasses,
*hd then call it * S.\ KS A l»A KILLA EXTRACT or SY
RIfI*.” Hut such is not the article know nas the
GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND'S
SARSAPARILLA.
This is *o prepared, that all 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 oftiled tea I virtue is secured in a pure
and concentrated form ; ami thus It is rendered incapable of
losing any of its valuable and healing properties. Prepared
In tins way, it is made the most powerful agent in the
Cure Ml’ innumerable diseases.
Ilouce the reason why we hear commendations on every
aide In its favor by men, women, and children*. We find it
doing wonders in the cure of

Heaven forbid that we should deal in an article which

We wish it understood, because it is the absolute truth ,
that j 5. F. Townsend’s urticle and Old Dr. Jacob Tow n

timilar; that they are unlike in every particular, having
not one single thing in common.
As S. F. Townsend is no doctor, am! never was, is no
chemist, no pharmaceutist—knows no more of medicine or
disease than any other common, unscientific. Unprofessional
Linn, what guarantee can the pub'ic have th»? they are re

capable of changes w hich might render them the AGENTS
of Disease instead of health.
But what else should be expected from one who know*
nothing comparatively of medicine or disease ! It requires
a person of some experience to cook and serve up even a
common decent meal. How much more important is it that
the persons who manufacture medicine, designed for
WEAK STOMACHS AND KNKKKBI.KD SYSTEMS,

I’HE GLOBE :
A Congressional, Agricultural and Literary
Newspaper.
r |MIE Editors oftlie Congressional Globe pro
1_ pose anew publication. To deserve the
patronage which. Congress has accorded to their
reports ofits 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, embody ing the re
ports of Congress separate from the miscellaneous
matter which will accompany them in the daily
print. To fill the sheet oftlie daily newspaper,
it is designed to gather the news fr>un all quar
ters, and complete the contents by drawing irom
every source thatinay be of most interest among
literary novelties, and ofgreatest utility in scien
tific and practical works on agriculture, lor
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 Globe, as a newspaper, and as a vehicle
of information and amusement in other respec’s,
will be under the charge of Francis P. Blair
and James C. Pickett. The Congressional
department and business concerns of the paper
will be 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 he al
lowed to say a few- words of him. He is a gen
tleman favorable known to the 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’Aflaires to Peru. From his pen mainly the
Globe will derive the selections and translations
from 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 balanced
the year,and will undergo distribution in the
form of a Weekly Globe, a Congressional Globe
and ail Appendix.
The Weekly Globe will be the vehicle oftlie
miscellaneous articles of the daily print, with a
synopsis of the Congressional proceedings.
The Congressional Globe will embody, as it
has done for the last sixteen years,Congression
al pioceedings and debates exclusively.
The Appendix will embrace the revised
speeches separately, and the messages of the
President of the United States,and the reports
of the Heads oftlie Executive Departments.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
be published as fust as 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 Congressiohnl reports. A paper assuming
to be an impaitiai vehicle for all sides, cannot
maintain its character if the editorial columns
reflect 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.

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
wofully imposed upon, and have been obliged
to visit Dr. M. at last. Dr. M. deems it only
necessary to add, that his former 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 he refers to his pamphlet on Cancer,
A-c., which may be obtaini and 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 m< st 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 continua'ly
under treatment from various partsofthe Union,
in every stage and variety of the complaints.—
The treatment is without the use oftlie knife,
or caustic, and is both constitutional and local
