Fistula. in Auo riiied without the
use of the Kuife.
DR. W. W. 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 cases of Fistula cured by him. in the
treatment ofFistula, recourse is generallyjiad
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 been subject to
the knife without experiencing the least benefil,
but rather made worse. They were perfectly
cured by Dr. M. without the.use of the knife, or.
any such operation, witlioutlhp 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 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 ol
the case may demand. »
Dr M. does not exaggerate, when lie says that
the plan of treatment lie pursues is. obliged to
succeed in ninety-nine cases out ol a hundred,
if not in ever)’ case of Fistula.
Savannah, March 15, 1849.
This is to certify that for near fifteen years I
Avas 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 ot 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, 1 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 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, 1 determined
to place myself under his treatment, and lie com
menced to treat iny case. 1 remained there
four weeks and returned home nearly well, and
I am happy 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 sever! miles. With regard to
the Doctor's treatment, it is attended compara
tively with little pain, 1 was at no time confined
to the bed more than one day, and to the house
but a very short time, lie used no knife, (and
so far as 1 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 1 have heard of, and would with
great confidence, arising from experience, advise
all who are afllicted 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 he realized.
It gives me great pleasure to say that in all my
intercourse with Dr. Marshall, I found him the
perfect gentleman, and an intelligent, devoted
cliristain. JAS. £■ GOD! KEY.

Due West Corner, )
Abbeville District, S. C., July 13, 1818. J
Dr. W. W. Marshall— Dear Sir—Believing
as I do, that you have effectually cured me of
the Fistula, an exceedingly stubborn, painful
and dangerous disease, I take pleasure in contri
buting my mite for the purpose of relieving the
toifTerings ofthosc 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 of the State,
were employed for m v relief, but their united ef
forts were unsuccessful. My health grew worse
and 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 oftho 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. I 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 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 but
hastened. Yours, respectfully,
CORNELIUS M. SHARP.
Irwinton, Marcli 20, 1848.
Dear Sir—ln compliance with jour request,
I 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,
who has greater reason to be 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, 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- j
tinned to decline until some time in the month
of March, 1847, when I was confined to my bed,
without knowing with what disease 1 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 he thought he 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 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 Mason and placed myself under
your control, and in a shorter time than 1 ex
pected, found myself greatly benefitted by your
treatment.
1 have now entirely recovered my long lost
health, and can say with propriety, that I enjoy
better health than I 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 TARPLLY.
Dr. Marshall.
pp»Mr. Williams, late Proprietor ofthe Wash,
ington Hall, has a knowledge of Mr. Tarley’s
case, as he 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.

0U) DK. JACOB TOWNSEND,
THE ORIGIN’A I, DISCI iVERER OK THE
Genuine Towuseutl Sarsaparilla.
Old Dr. Townsend i» now alwmt TO year* of nge, and has
long been known as the AUTHOR and I)/SCOVER EU
of the OEX l LYE ORIOIX.iI . “ TOWXSEXD S.IR
SAPARIL/.A.' 1 Beirut poor, he was compelled to limit its
nmnufttctnre, by which means it has been kept out of mar
ket, and the sales circumscribed to those only who had
proved its worth, and 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
HEALING POWER.
Knowing, many years ago , that he had. by his skill,
science and experience, devised an article w hich 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 ami appreciated.
This time has come, the means are supplied ; this
GRAXI) .1X1) UXEQUALLED rßEr.lft.lT/OX
is manufactured on the larged scale, and is called for
throughout the length and breadth of the land, esjiecially
as it is found incapable of degeneration or deterioration.
Unlike young I*. Townsend's, 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 Chemistry, and the latest discoveries of the art,
have all been brought into requisition in the manufacture
of the Old Dr’s Sarsaparilla. 'The Sarsaparilla root.lt is
well known lo medical men, contains many medicinal pro
perties, and -<ome properties which are inert or nne’ess, and
others, which il re mined 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 lost in the preparation, if
they are not preserved by a scientific process, known only
to those experienced in its manufacture. Moreover, these
volatile principles, which fly oil' in vapor, or as an exhala
tion. under heat, are the very essential medical properties
of the root, w hich give to il 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
|he root than from any thing else ; they can then strain
this insipid or vapid liquid, sweeten with sour molasses,
ind then call it " SAKSAI’AIULhA F.X’iKACT or SSY
KUP.” Hut such is not the article known as the
GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND'S
SARSAPARILLA.
This is so prepared, that all the inert properties of the
Sarsaparilla root are first removed, everything capable of
becoming acid or of fermentation, is extracted and rejected ;
then every particle «d' 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, and children. We find it
doing wonders in the cure of
COXSUMrTIOX, DYSPEPSIA , and LIVER COM

It possesses a 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 chills and hot Hashes
over the body. It has not its equal in Colds and Coughs ;
and promotes easy expectoration and gentle perspiration,
relaxing stricture of the lungs, throat, and every other part.
Hut in nothing is its excellence more manifestly seen and
acknowledged than in all kinds and stages of
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
It works wonders in cusesof Fluor JUbus or tvhilrs. Fall
inn of the Womb, Obstructed, Suppressed, or Painful Menses,
Irregularity of ihe menstrual periods, and tile like ; and
is as elieclual in curing all llic forms of Kidney Diseases.
By removing obstructions, and regulating the general
system, it gives tone and strength to the whole body, uud
thus cures all forms of
NerVousr diseases and debility, *
and thus prevents or relieves a great variety of other mala
dies, ns Spinal irritation, Xeuralgia, St. Vitus' Dance

It cleanses the blood, excites the liver to healthy action,
tones the stomach, and gives good digestion, relieves the
bowels of lorpotf and constipation, allays inflammation,
purifies the skin, equalises the circulation ol the bl«>od,

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

Dr. such & mountain load of complaints and criminations
from Agents u ho have sold, and purchasers who have used
I*. Townsend's FF.RMKNTINO COMPOUND.
We wish it understood, because it is the absolute truth,
that 8. I*. Townsend’s article and Old Dr. Jacob Town
send'* Sarsaparilla are heaven-icide apart , and iujimtcly dis
titnilar; that they are unlike in every particular, having
not »>ne 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

capable of changes which might lender them the AGENTS

But what else should he expected from one w ho know*

• rilE GLOBE:
.1 Congressional, .Agricultural and Literary
Newspaper.
'■MIE Editors oftlie Congressional Globe pro
-1 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 he of most interest among
literary novelties, and ofgreatestutility in scien
tific and practical works on agriculture. For
material, the leading journals and periodicals of
France and Great Britain, treating of suoft 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 respects,
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’Affuires to Peru. From his pen mainly the
Globe will derive the selections and translations
froifi the French journals and periodicals, the
comments on them, and the other literary articles
which will he found among its chief attractions.
The Globe will be published daily during the
session ofCongress, 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.
Tha 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 of 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 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 inipaitial 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
from the vocation. The Globe will inviolably
maintain the neutrality which its relation to
Congress imposes.

wofully imposed upon, and have been obliged
to visit Dr. M. at last. Dr. M. deems it only
necessary toadd, that hisformer and continues
successin 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,

For the further encouragement of the ufliictcd
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

under treatment from various parts of the Union,

Agreeable to the practise of last year, the pub
lisher will issue as good a number each month
as he does in January. This is a novel feature
in Magazine publishing. During the whole of
last year lie 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 lire 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 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, with a full
description. This feature is peculiar to Godey,
as noother work has them every month and co
lored. Then there are Caps, Bonnets, Chenii
setts,Equestrianism for Ladies, with Engravings
The Ladies’ W ork 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, A c.
Health and Beauty, with Engravings. Model
Cot ages, with ground plans and other engrav
ings, always illustrative of something useful.
M lisle,beautifully printed on tinted paper,which
may be taken out and bound. Colored Modern
Cottages,and colored FJowerpieces 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. These will be illustrated in
every number by a Story from the powerful pen
of T. 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 prepara
tion, and will be published during the year.
COTTAGE FURMTURE.
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
W elch, 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.
