Fistula in Anocured without tin*
use of the Knife.
DR w. VV MARSHALL, ofMaeon, Ga.,
would call the attention of the I’ublic to a
number of certificates published, and which he
willcontinue topublisli in > arious papers in the
State, of cases of Fistula cured 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
rome 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 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 ease may demand.
Dr. M. does not exaggerate, when lie says that
the plan of treatment lie pursues is obliged to
succeed in ninety-nine eases out of a hundred,
if not in every case of Fistula.
Savannah, March 15, 1849.
This is to certify that for near fifteen years I j
was afflicted with that dreadful disease. Fistula, j
and for the last twelve months suffered so much i
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, ami was informed by all of them,
the disease was incurable save by the knife ot the
Riirgeon. 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 ns to
present the alternative to submit to he operated
upon, ordie. 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,! 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
dav on horseback severl miles. VV iih legard 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
hilt 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 tliltn any
physician that 1 have heard of, and would with
great confidence, arising from experience, advise
all who are afflicted with this dreadful malady,
not to. hesitate but at once to place themselves
under his treatment, and 1 doubt not their most
sanguine expectations will be realized.
It gives me great pleasure to say that in all my
intercourse with Dr. Marshall, I found him tin
perfect gentleman, and an intelligent, devoted
christain. JAB. L. GOD! KEY.

Abbeville District, S. C., July 13, 1848.
Dr. W. W. Marshall— Dear Sir—Believing
as Ido, that vou 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
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 of the State,
were employed for tny 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 rnv recovery.
Casually looking over a paper published in
Charleston, S. C., tny attention was arrested by a
notice oft he 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. I
must say mv faith was weak, hut I resolved to
give him a trial. 1 placed myself under his care
and treatment. 11c has effected a perfect cure—
my whole frame is invigorated—he has infused
sew life into my hitherto dead body—l have ex
perienced a resurrection from the dead, and all
the energizing aim renovating eitecis oi anew
creation. lam in very deed anew man. My
better convictions are that you have saved me
from an untimely death, w hich the use of the
knife or caustic could not have prevented but
hastened. Yours, respectfully,
CORNELIUS M. SHARP.
Irwintos, March 20, 1848.
Dear 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,
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 lime became soft, and discharged
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, w hen I was confined to my bed,
without knowing with what disease I was af
flicted, until Dr. William Fisher, of Irwinton,
was callecj in,and pronounced the disease to be
Fistula in ano.
I then asked the Doctor if be thought he could
cure me?—he answered he thought he could,
but that 1 must expect to suffer a long time be
fore lie 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 ine 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 niy long lost
health, and can sav 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, 1 will visit Macon, as
I can then express my gratitude to you in person.
- With due respect, 1 am sir, vour obliged and
humble servant, EDW I.N I'ARPLEY.

In this case there were three abscesses, all of

discharge was very copious, at least a half a pint

Principal Office, 102 AW-an »t. % .Wic York City.
Old) IIK. JACOB 'mVNsiCND,
THE OKIHI VW. DISCOVERER OF THE
Gentiiue Townsend Sarsaparilla.
Old Dr. Townsend is now about 70 years of nee. and has
long been known ns the AUTHOR anti DISCOVERER
of the GENUINE ORIGINAL “ TOWNSEND SAR
SAPARI LLA. ,y Being poor, he was compelled to limit its
manufar,tare, 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 cars of many, nevertheless, as those persons who had
been henled of sore diseases, and saved from death, pro
claimed its excellence and wonderful
HEALING POWER.
Knowing, many years ago. that he had, by his rfkilt,
science and experience, devised an article which would be
of incalculable advantage to mankind when the nienns
would be furnished to bring it into universal notice, when
its inestimable virtues would be known and appreciated.
This time has come, the means are supplied ; this
GRAND AND UNEQUALLED 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 :■>. IV Townsend’s, it improves with age. and
never changes, but for the better: because it is prepared on
scientific principles bv 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, it is
well known to medical men, contains many medicinal pro
porties, and some properties which are inert or useless, and
others, which if retained in preparing it for use, produce
fermentation and acid, w liich is injurious to the system,
of the properties of J?Hrsajiarilla 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 off in vapor, or as an exhala
tion. under heat, are the very essential medical properties
nf the root, w hich give to it all its value.
Any person can boil or stew the root fill they get a dark
colored liquid, which is more from the coloring matter In
the rout than from any thing else; they can then strain
this Insipid or vapid liquid, sweeten with sour molasses,
*nd then call it •*SARSAPARILLA F.XTKACT or SY
RUP." But such is not the article known as the
GENUINE OLD I)R. JACOB TOWNSEND’S
SARSAPARILLA.
This is so 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 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, and children. We find it
doing wonders in the cure of

and promotes easy expectoration and gentle perspiration,

We wish it understood, because it is the absolute truth,
that S. P, Townsend's article and Old Dr. Jacob Town

similar; that they arc unlike in every particular, having
not one single thing in common.
As S. P. Townsend is no doctor, and never was. is no

THE GLOBE:
A Congressional, Agricultural and Literary
Ketcspapcr.
r DHE Edi orsofthe Congressional Globe pro- j
§_ pose anew publication. To deserve the
patronage which Congress lias 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, 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 nil quar
ters, and complete the contents by drawing front
every source that may be of most interest among
literary novelties, and of greatest 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, nnd as a vehicle
of information and amusement in other respects,
will be under the charge of Francis F. Blair
and James C. Pickett. The
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 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’Affaires to Peru. From his pen mainly the
Globe will derive the selections and translations
from tlie French journals and periodicals, the
comments on them, and the other literary articles
which will be found among its chief attractions.
The Globe will bo 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
lias done for the last sixteen years, Congression
al pioceedingsand debates exclusively.
The Appendix will embrace the revised
speeches separately, and the messages ol 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 impaitial vehicle for all sides, cannot
maintain its character if the editorial columns
reflect a party hue. The Editors oi 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.

T V dieted with Cancer, Fistula, Wens, and
all ulcers and tumors, originating from vvhatso
evercause, that he is permanently located in
the city of Macon, where lie may he found
both summer and u inter. Dr. M. would guard
the public against false reports, viz : that lie
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. docs, 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 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

Agreeable to the practise of last year, the pub
lisher will issue as good a number each month
as lie does in January. This is a novel feature
in Magazine publishing. During the whole of
last year be 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 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 montli 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 tho Ladies that
no other Magazine possesses. There is a Mez
zotint and Line Engraving in each number—
kpth 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 no other work has them every month and co
lored. Then there are 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

Cotrages, with ground plans and other engrav
ings, always illustrative of something useful.
Mu sic,beautifully printed on tinted paper,which
may be taken out and bound. Colored Modern
Cottages,and colored Flower pieces occasion.! 11 y.
These are all extra in Godey, and to be found
in no other Magazine. Those 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 scries
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 he 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 nny other Maga
