Fistula iu Ano cured without the
use of the Knife.
DR. W W MARSHALL, ofMacon, G».,
would call the attention of tile Public to a
number of certificates published, and which lie
will continue to publish in various papers in the
State, of cases of Fistula cured by him. In the
treatment nt'Fistula, recourse is generally h id
to the knife, which is always painful and often
hazardous and very frequently unsuccessful.
M< >re than one half of the rases that have
come under his care of late, had been subject to
the knife without experiencing the least benefit,
hut 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 necessatily
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 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, 1849.
This is to certify that for near fifteen years I
was afflicted with that dreadful disease Fistula,
mid for the last twelve months suffered so milch
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, anil 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 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 be operated
upon, or die. At thi9time 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, and he com
menced to treat my case. I remained there
four weeks and roturned home nearly well, and
1 am happv now to say entirely restored. I would
no doubt have been entirely well much sooner,
but kept the place irritated from riding every
day on horseback severl miles. Will 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
but a very short time. He 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 Irom experience, advise
all who are afflicted with this dreadful malady,
not to hesitate but at once to place themselves
under his treatment, and I doubt not their most
sanguine expectations will be realized.
It gives tne great pleasure to say that in all my
intercourse with Dr. Marshall, I found him the
perfect gentleman, and an intelligent, devoted
ebristaiu. JAS. E GODFREY.

Abbeville District, S. C., July 13, 1848. j
Dr. W. W. Marshall —Dear Sir—Believing
as I do, that you have effectually cured me of
tlte 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
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 mv relief, but their united ef
forts were unsuccessful. My health grew worse
and worse —I became debilitated in body and
inind, and my friends entertained fearful appre
hensions of my recovery.
Casually looking over a paper published in
Charles on, S. C., my attention was arrested bv a
notice oftlte signal professional services of Dr.
W. W. Marshall of effecting a cure in cases of
Fistula, &c. The card purported to effect a
cure without the use of the knife or caustic. 1
must say my faith was weak, but I resolved to
give him a trial. 1 placed myself under his care
and treatment. He has effected a perfect cure—
my whole frame is invigorated—he has infused
new life into my hitherto dead body—l have ex
perienced a resurrection from the (lend, and all
the energizing and renovating effects of anew
creation. !am in very deed anew man. My
better convictions are that yon have saved me
from an untimely death, which the use of the
knife or caustic could not have prevented but
hastened. Yours, respectfully,
CORNELIUS M. SHAltr
Irwinton, March 20, 1848.
Dear Sir—ln compliance with jour request,
teend 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,
who has greater reason to bo grateful for your
kindness than myself, in being cured of that
dreadful disease,*which nil 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 j
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, j
during which time 1 began to decline, and con- !
tinucd to decline until some time in the month
of March, 1847, when I was confined to my bed, 1
without knowing with what disease 1 was af- ;
Aided, until Dr. William Fisher, of Irwinton, j
was called in,and pronounced the disease to be |
Fistula in ano.
I then asked the Doctor if he thought lie could
'cure me?—he answered he thought he 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 30 f°r 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 bear 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, vour obliged and
humble servant, EDWIN TARPLEY.
Dr. Marshall.

In this case there were three abscesses, all of

could not be a worse case to be cured.

long been known h-i the AUTHOR and DISCOVERER
of the GENUINE ORIGINAL *’ TOH'NSEND SAR *
SAPARILLA' % Heing pour, he was compelled to limit its
in «»uf ictere, by which me ins it has been kept out of mar
ket. and the sales circumscribed to those only who had
proved its worth, ami known its value. It had reached
the ears of many, nevertheless, as those persons who had
been healed of sore diseases, and saved from death, pro
claimed its excellence and wonderful
HKAI.ING POWER.
Knowing, many years ago. that lie had. by his skill,
science and experience, devised an article which would be
of incalculable .advantage to mankind when the means
would be furnished to bring it into universal notice, when
its inestimable virtues would be known and appreciated.
Phis tone has come, the means are supplied ; this
GRAND AND UNEQUALLED PR ERA RATION
is manufactured on the largest scale, ami is called fur
throughout the length and breadth of the land, e'peciaily
as it is found incapable of degeneration or deterioration.
Unlike young S. P Tow nsendS. it improves with age, and
never changes, but for the better: because it is prepared on
scientific principles by a scientific man. The highest knowl
edge of Chemi.Ntry. and the late>l discoveries of the art,
have ali been brought into requisition in the manufacture
of the Old Dr’s Sarsaparilla. The Sarsaparilla root, it is
well known to medical men. contains many medicinal pro
perties, and «ou»* properties which are inert or useless, and
otners. which if retained in preparing it for use, produce
fermentation 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 nianufiictue. Moreover, these
volatile principles, which fly oil in vapor, or us an exhala
tion. under heat, are the very essential medical properties
if the root, which give to it nil it* value.
Any person can boil or* a tew the root till they pet a dark
colored liquid, which is more from the coloring matter In
the root than from an\ thing else: they can then strain
this Insipid or vapid liquid, sweeten with sour molasses,
*nd then call it •• SARSAPARILLA EXTRACT or SY
HUP.” But such is not the nriicle know nas the
GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND’S
SARSAPARILLA.
This is so prepared. Dial all tne 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 wav, It is made the most powerlul agent in the
Curt- ot innumerable disease#.

mil yet lie would f;iin have it understood that Old Dr. Jacob

Heaven forbid thnt we should deal in an article which
would bear the most distant resemblance to 8. P. Town*

Dr. such a mountain load of complaints and criminations
from Agents who h ive sold, and purchasers who have used
P. Townsend’s FERMfcNTIMi COMPOUND.
We wish it understood, because it is the absolute truth,
that 8. P. Townsend** article and Old Dr. Jacob Town
iend’s Sarsaparilla are keavcn-icide apart, and infinitely dis
similar ; that they are unlike in every particular, having
not one single thing in common.
As 8. P. Townsend is no doctor, and never was, is no
chemist, no pharmaceutist—knows no more of medicine or
disease than any other common, unscientific, unprofessional
man. what guarantee can the public have that they are re
ceiving a genuine scientific medicine, containing all the
virtues of the articles nsed in preparing it. and which are in
capable of changes which might lender them the AGENTS
of Disease instead of health.
Hut what else should be expected from one who know*
nothing comparatively of medicine or disease ! It requires
a person of some e\|>er«nce to cook and serve up even a
common decent meal. How much more important is it that
the persons who manufacture medicine, designed for

should know well the medical properties of plants, the

rilE GLOBE :
A Congressional, Agricultural uni Literary
Newspaper.
'ffMlE Editors ofthe Congressional Globe pro
|_ pose anew publicati ,n. 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 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 O. Rives.
The public are familiar with Blair and Rives as
connected wilh the press. In introducing Mr.
Pickelt 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 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’Affaire* 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 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 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
ofthe Heads ofthe Executive Departments.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
be published as fast 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 Congressiohal reports. A paper assuming
to be an impaitial vehicle for all sides, cannot
maintain its character if the editorial columns
reflect a party line. 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.

Office, as neat and cheap as at any other Office
in the South, Try us and see.
Dr. XV. XV. Marshall,
WJSJ OULD respectfully inform all persons af
?f flirted with Cancer, Fistula, Wens, and
a 1 ulcers and tumors, originating from whatsn
evercause, that he is permanently located in
the city of Macon, where he may he found
both summer and u inter. 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 also appears 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

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 Godey’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, ■ ith a full
description. This feature is peculiar to Godey,
as no other work has them every month and co
lored Then there are Caps, Bounds, Chemi
setts, Equestrianism for Ladies, with Engravings

ting-netting, crotchet, and all other kinds of
work. Patterns for Smoking Caps, Chair Covers

Cot ages, with ground plans and other engrav
ings, always illustrative of something useful.

may be taken out and bound. Colored Modern
Cos ttages,and colored Flower pieces occasionally.
These are all extra in Godey, and to he found
in no other Magazine. These were aU given
last year and will be continued. In addition wi
