Fistula in Alio nurd without the
use of the Knife.
DR. \V. W M ARSHALL, 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 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 been subject to
the knife without experiencing the least benefit,
byt 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 tlie 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. docs not exaggerate, when he says 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, 1849.
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 rne almost from atten
ding to my business.—During this time 1 consul
ted several physicians both in this city and
Charleston, and was informed by ail 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 bo 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 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. I would
no doubt have been entirely well much sooner,
but kept the place irritated from riding every
day on horseback severl miles. With regard to
the Doctor's treatment, it is attended compara
tively with litlle 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 1 could judge) no caustic.
lain perfectly satisfied that the Doctor, with
his peculiar inode 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 front experience, advise
all who arc afflicted with this dreadful malady,
not to hesitate but at once to place themselves
uuder 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, 1 found him the
perfect gentleman, and an intelligent, devoted
christaiu. J AS. E. GODFREY.

Dub West Corner, )
Abbeville District, S. C., July 13, 1848. $
Dr. W. XV. Marshall —Dear Sir—Relieving
as 1 do, that you have effectually cured me of
the Fistula, an exceedingly stubborn, painful
and dangerous disease, I take pleasure in contri
buting my mile for the purpose ot 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 ol the State,
were employed fir my relief, hut their united ef
forts were unsuccessful. My health grew worse
and worse —I became debilitated in body and
mind, and my friends entertained fearful appre
hensions of my recovery.
Casually looking over a pnper published in
Charleston, S. C., my attention was arrested by a
notice nfthe 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 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 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.
Irwirton, March 20, 1848.
Rear 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 1 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 all who saw me, believ
ed if not checked, would in a shorttime, 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 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 lie thought lie could
cure me? —he answered he thought he could,
but that 1 must expect to suffer a long time be
fore he could perforin a permanent cure. The
Doctor then commenced treating the case, and
continued to do so forseven 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 benefited by your
treatment.
1 have now entirely recovered fny long lost
health, and can say with propriety, that I 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 TAItPLLY.

CAUTION EXTRA
A man by ihe name of Cl. ATP has engaged with a
Voting man of the name of 9. P. Townsend, and uses his
name to p«t up a Santa jutril la, *hith they call Dr. Town
send's Sarsaparilla, denominating it GFNUINE, Original,
etc. This Townsend is no doctor, and never was ; but was
formerly a worker on raiTroads, canals, and the like. Vet he
assumes the title of l>r.. for the purpose of gaining credit for
what he is not. This is to caution the politic not to be
deceived, and purchase none but the GEMU INE OH IGF
- YAI. OJ.D fir. Jacob Townsend’s Sarsaparilla, having on
it the Old Dr’s, likeness, his family cuul of arms, and his
signature across the coat of arms.
Principal Office, 102 Nassau if., .Yew York City.
THE ORIGINAL DISCOVERER OK THE
Grnuiue Townsend Sarsaparilla.
Old !>r. Townsend is now about 70 years of age, and has
long been known ns the AUTHOR and DISCOVER ER
of the GENUINE ORIGINAL “ TO ITNSEJTD SAR
SAPARILLABeing poor, he was compelled to limit its
inanufactnre, 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, ns 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 which would bo
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.
This time has come, the means are supplied ; this
GRAND AMI) UNEQUALLED PREPARATION
is manufactured on the largest scale, and is called for
throughout the,length and breadth ot* the land, especially
as it is found incapable of degeneration or deterioration.
Unlike young S. P. 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 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’s Sarsaparilla. 'Pile Sarsaparilla root.it is
well known to medical men, contains many medicinal pro
pertie*, and muiih properties which are inert or useless, and
others, which if retained in preparing it for use, produce
fermentation and ucid, which is injurious to the system
Pome 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, know n only
to those experienced in its manufacture. Moreover, these
volatile principles , which fly olf in vapor, or as an exhala
tion. under heat, are the very essential medical properties
of 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
jhe root than from any thing else; they can then strain
this Insipid or vapid liquid, sweeten with sour molasses,
And then rail it “ SARtiAPAKILLA EXTRACT or SY
RUP.” But such is not the article known ms the
GENUINE OLD 1)K. 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 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
ill this w ay, it is made the most powerful agent in the
Cure ol' innumerable diseases.
Hence the reason why we hear commendations on every
sole in its favor by men, women, and children. We find it
doing wonders in the cure of
CONSUMPTION ; DYSPEPSIA, and LITER COM
PLAINT, and in RHEUMATISM, SCROFULA.
PILES, COSTIVENESS, all CUTANEOUS ERUP
TIC NS, PIMPLES, BLOCTHES, and all affection*
arising from
IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD.
It possesses a marvellous efficacy in all complaints arising
from Indigestion, from Andity of the. Stomach, from unequal
circulation, determination of 1:1 »*xi to the head, palpitation
of the heart, cold feet and hands, cold chills ami hot flashes
over the body. It has not il* equal in Colds and Coughs ;
and promotes easy expectoration and gentle perspiration,
relaxing stricture of the lungs, throat, and every other part.
Rut 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 or lYhites, Fill
ing of the IVotnb, Obstructed , Suppressed , or Painful Menses,
Irregularity of the menstrual (>eriods, and the like ; and
is ns effectual in curing all tlie forms of Kidney Diseases.
By removing obstructions, and regulating the general
system, it gives tone ami strength to the whole body, and
thus cures all forms of
Nervous diseases anil debility, •
and thus prevents or relieves a great variety of other mala
dies, us Spinal irritation. Neuralgia , St. Titus' Dance
Swooning, Epileptic Fits, Convulsions, fee.
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,
.mrifles the skin, equalises tlie circulation of the blood,
producing gentle warmth equally all over tlie body, and
the insensible inspiration; relaxes all strictures and tight
uess, removes ail 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 of 9. I*. Townsend’s
iulerior article ? This vouna man’s liquid is not to be
COMPARED WITH THE OLD DR’S,
because of one (JKAND FACT, that the one ts LNCAPA

Now is it not horrible to make and sell, and infinitely
«torn to use this
SULKING, FERMENTING, ACID “ COM
POUND” OF S. P. TOWNSEND,
ind yet lie wnulu fun have it understood that Old Dr. Jacob
IW nselid's Genuine Original Sarsaparilla, is an IMITA
MON of his inferior preparation !!
Heaven forbid that we should deal in an article which
would bear the moat distant resemblance to S. P. Town
fund’s article! and which should bring down upon the Old
Dr. such a mountain load nf complaints and criminations
from Agents who have sold, and purchasers who have used
S. V. Townsend’s FERMENTING COMPOUND.
We wish it understood, because it is the absolute truth,
that S. P. Townsend’s urlicle and Old Dr. Jacob Town
send’* Sarsaparilla are heaven-wide apart, and infinitely dis
timilar; that they are unlike in every particular, having
not one single thing in common.
As H. 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
uirin. w hat guarantee can the public have that they are re
ceiving a genuine scientific medicine, containing all tlie
virtues of the articles used in preparing it. and which are in
capable of changes which might render them the AGENTS
ot 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 ENFEEBLED SYSTEMS,
shoeld know well the medical properties of plants, the
best manner of securing and concentrating their healing
virtues, also an extensive know ledge of the various diseases
w inch affect the human system, and how to adapt remedies
lo these diseases!
It is to arre.-u frauds upon the unfortunate, to pour balm
into wounded huu unity, to kindle hope in the despairing
bosom, to restore health ami bloom, and vigor into the
mifdied and broken, ami to banish infirmity that OLD DR.
JACOB TOWNSEND has SOUGHT arul FOUND the op
portunity and means to bring his

that they may learn and know , by joyful experience, its

I’HE GLOBE :
A Congressional, Agricultural und Literary
Newspaper.
r (MIE Editors ofthe Congressional Globe pro-
U pose anew publication. To deserve the
patronage which Congress has accorded to their
reports ofits debates, in receiving and making
the Globe tlie official register, they intend to add
promptitude to whatever merit has hitherto re
commended the work. 3 hey 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, ami complete the contents by drawing irom
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 he 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. Blais
and Jambs C. Pickett. The Congressional
department and business concerns ofthe paper
will be under the management of John C. llives.
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’Affaires 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 chiefuttractions.
The Globe will be published daily during the
session ofCongress, and Weekly the balance of
the year, and w ill 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 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
ofthe Heads ofthe Executive Departments.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
he 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 impartial 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 relatiou to
Congress imposes.
TERMS:
For one copy of the Daily Globe (daily during
the session of Congress, and Weekly during
the recess,) a year, : : $5 00
For one copy ofthe Weekly Globe, one year, 2 00

The subscription for the Congressional Globe
or the Appendix, after the Ist of January-, will
be jjjjl 50. The original price of One Dollar
does not pay the expenses ofthe publication in
consequence of the great increase of matter pub

Ur. XV. XV. Marshall,
• VJOULD respectfully inform all persons uf
f T flirted with Cancer, Fistula, Wens, and
all ulcers and tumors,originating troin whatso
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 doc tors, 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
wofullv 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
successin the management of these diseases, is
conclusive evidence of the superiority of his
practice over all o'hers known in this, or and
other country. For the correctness of this as
sertion he refers to his pamphlet on Cancer,
&c., which may he 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

Oodey’s Uady’s Book for 1849.
Dedicated to the Ladies of the U States.
I7IDITED by SARAH J HALE, GRACE
GREENWOOD and 1.. A. GODLY.
A Novelette, by Miss E. LESLIE, who con
tributes to every number.
N. P. WlLLlS’Original Scriptural Poetry.
T. S. ARTHUR, who contributes to every
number, illustrative ofCroome’s Sketches of A
merican character.
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 he gave more engravings and more
reading matter than any of iiis contemporaries,
and will continue to do so next year. Those
who subscribe to GODEY’S LADY'S BOOK,
may do so under the assiyauce 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 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 no other work has them every month and eo
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
Window Curtains, D’Oyloy’s Purses, Bags,&c
Health and Beauty, with Engravings. Model
Cot.ages, with ground plans and other engrav
ings, always illustrative of something useful.
Music,beautifully printed on tinted paper,which
may be taken out und bound. Colored Modern
Cottages,and colored Flowerpieces 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. Inuddilion we
shall have in every number one of
“CROOME’S SKETCHES OF AMERICAN
CHAR ACT ERISTICS,’’
A most amusing series, now first given to the
American public. Thesewili 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 vear.
COTTAGE FURNITURE.'
Having given so many Model Cottages, we in
tend now to continence 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 any other Maga
zine. It is a feature iu the Book.
THE LITERARY CHARACTER OF GO
DEY’S LADY’S BOOK.
