I'istuUl iu Ano cured without the use of the iinife. DR VV VV MARSHALL, of Macon, Ha., would c::ll tlic attention of the Public to a number of certificates published, ami which he will continue to publish in various papers in the State, of cases of Fistula cured by hint. 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 tinder his care of late, had been subject to the knife without 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 docs not pn vent the ordinary pursuits of business, although the patient is necessarily obliged to be under the immediate care and sii pervision'of the Doctor from one to four weeks, accordingly us the nature and circumstances o! the case may demand. Dr. M. does not exaggerate, when lie says that the plan of treatment he pursues is obliged to succeed in ninety-nine cases out ol a hundred, if not in every case ol I istula. Savannah, March 15, 1649. This is to certify that for near fifteen y ears I was afflicted with that dreadful disease. Fistula, and for the last twelve months suffered so much Lain, as to incapacitate me almost Ironi atten ding to tny business. —During this time 1 consul ted''several physicians both in this oitv and Charleston, anil was informed by all of them, the disease was incurable save by the Unite ol the surgeon. Learning the operation was not only very painful but dangerous and not always suc cessful, l 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, l determined to place myself under his treatment, and 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. I would no doubt have been entirely well much sooner, but kept the place irritated fro... riding every day on horseback sever! miles. Wi'li regard to the Doctor s treatment, it is attended compara tively with little pain, 1 was atm. time contn icd to the bed more than one day, and to the house hut a very short time, lie used no knife, (and so far as I could judge) no caustic. 1 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 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 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 i ntc lll gent devoted christuin. JAS. E. GODFREY. rrßcv.Jas.E.

Due West Corker, ) Abbeville District, S. C., July 13, 1848. 5 Dr. VV. W. Marshall —Dear Sir Relieving as 1 do, that you have effectually cured me ol the Fistula, an exceedingly stubborn, painhtl and dangerous disease, 1 take pleasure in contri buting my mite for the purpose o relieving the sufferings of those who may be afflicted will, a similar disease. . „ , _ „ . . ,■ 1 suffered from the painful effects of this <hs- , case for more than two years. 1 hroe or lout Physicians, combining the talent of the . tale. were employed l’..r my relief, but their united el forts were unsuccessful. My health grew worse and worse—l became debilitated in body and mind, and my friends entertained leuriul appre hensions of my recovery. Casually looking over a paper published m Charleston, S. C., my attention was arrested by a notice oftlio signal professional services ol Dr. W W. Marshall of effecting n cure in eases ol Fistula, &c. The card purported to effect a euro without the use of the knilu or emislie. 1 must say myfaith was weak, hut 1 reso veil to give him a trial. I placed myself under Ins care and treatment. He has effected a per led curc my whole frame is invigorated—ln; has infused new life into my hitherto dead body—l hav e ex perienced a resurrection from the dead ,_and all the energizing and renovating enecis oi anew creation lam in very deed anew man. My better convictions are that you have saved me from an untimely death, which the use oi he knife or caustic could not have prevented but hasteur.d. lours, respectfully, CII . PP CORNELIUS 31. fellAß". Irwinton, March 20, 1848. j Dear Sir—ln compliance with your request, { send you a certificate ofthe cure which you so soon performed on me,of that dreadful disease Fistula, and I think there is no person ltvmg, who lias greater reason to be grateful for your kiudness tlian myself, in being cured of that dreadful disease, which all who saw rue, believ ed if not checked, would in a short time, tci inm ate mv 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, Without knowing with what disease 1 was al 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 lie could cure me?—he answered lie thought lie could, j 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 5 ho know you from charr.otrr, to be a gentleman of intelligence, piety and experience. 1 accord ing! v went to Jlacon and placed myself under your control, aud in a shorter time than 1 ex pected, found my sell greatly benelitlcd by’ your j treatment. 1 have now entirely recovered my long lost health, aud can say with propriety, that 1 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, 1 will visit Macon, as J can then express my gratitude to yon in person. With due respect, I am sir, your obliged and humble servant, EDWIN IAUPLEY. Dr. Marshall. (FJ-Jlr.

JACOB TOWNSEND, THI.OUKIINAt. niKCOVERER OF TIIE Genuine Townsend Sarsaparilla. Old Hr. Townsend is now about 70 year* of age. and lias long been known a* the AUTHOR and DISCOVER ER of the GENUINE ORIGINAL “ TO WNSEND SAR SAPARILLA.'* Deing poor, he was compelled to limit its uiauuf i< tare, by which means it has l»een 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 «f many, nevertheless, as those persons w ho had been healed ol* s«.re diseases, and saved from death, pro claimed its excellence and wonderful HEALING POWER. Knowing, many years ago, that he had. by his skill, science mid experience, devised an article which would be of incaicuiabie advantage to mankind when the means would be furnished to bring it into universal notice, w hen its inestimably virtues would l*e known and appreciated. This time has come, the means are supplied ; this GR.LYD AND UNEQUALLED PREPARATION is manufacture.! on the largest scale, and is called for throughout the length and breadth of the laud, especially as it is found ineupuide of degeneration or deterioration. 11nlike young S. I’ Tow nsentTs, it improves with age, and never changes, but for the belter: 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 .11 been brought into requisition in the manufacture of the Old IV's Sarsaparilla. The Sarsaparilla root, it is well known to medical men, contains many medicinal pro parties, and -onic properties which .are inert or useless, and others, which if retained In preparing it h»r use, produce fermcvt.iti n and acid, w hich i> 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 * \;/» r * need in its nmniifactii e. Moreover, these volatile principles, w hich fly oil* in vapor, or as an exhala tion. under /n at. an- the very essential medical properties of the root, w hich give to it all its value. Any person enn boil or stew the root till they get a dark colored liquid, which is more from the coloring matter in the root than from an\ thing else; they cab then strain this Insipid or vapid f.qttid, sweeten w ith sour molasses, slid then rail it “ SARSAPARILLA KNTKACT or SV klJlV' But sjeh is not the article known as the GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND’S SARSAPARILLA. This la 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 ami healing proportion. Prepared in tins way, it is made the most powerful agent in the Ctire of innumerable diseases. Hence the reason why we hear commcndationß on every side in its favor by men. women, untl children. We find it doing wonder* in the cure of CONSUMPTION, DYSPEPSIA, and LIVER COM PLAIN!', and m RHEUMATISM, SCROFULA, PI I. /: v, CO.sd'/VI.YUss, all ('UTANEOUS ERUP- J'lt NS, PIMPLES, RLOCTHES, and all allcctious arising from IMPURITY OF THE BLOOI). It possesses a m irvellotis« fllcucy in all complaints arising from Indigestion, from A unity of the. Stomach, from unequal circulation, determination of blood tt. 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 promote* easy expectoration and gentle per-piration, relaxing stricture of the lungs, throat, and every other part. Hut in nothing is its excellence more manifestly been and acknowledged than in nil kinds and stage* of FEMALE COMPLAINTS. It works wonder* in cases of Fuor Albus or Whites. Fall ing 0j i . < Womb, Ob trui ted, Suppressed, o r Pam to! Mrnsis, Irregularity of the menstrual periods, and the like : and is as cllcciU'il ill curing all the farms of Kidney Diseases. By removing nhsiructions, and regulating the general system, it gives tone and strength to the v.hole body, aud thus cure* all forms of Nervous diseases and debility* and thus prevents or relieves a great variety of other mala dies, as Spinal irritation, Neuralgia, St. Vitus' Dance Swooning, Epileptic Fits, Convulsions, 6cc. 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, purifies the skin, equalises the circulation of the blood, producing gentle warmth equally ail over the body, and the insensible perspiration; relaxes all strictures and tight ucss, nil obstructions, and invigorates the entire nervous system.

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 rc rommended 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, u is designed to gather the news from all quar ti rs, and complete the contents by drawing trout every source that may be of most interest among literary novelties, and of greatest utility iu scien tific aud practical works on agriculture. l'«»r 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, w ill 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 he under the charge of Francis I’. Bi.air and James C. Pickett. The Congressional department and business concerns of the paper w ill be under the management of John C. Rives. The public are familiar with Blair and Rives as connected with the press. In introducing Mr. Bickett 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’Allaire-, to Beru. From his pen mainly the Globe will derive the selections and translations from the French journals arid 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 ofthe 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 pioceedings and debates exclusively. The Appendix will embrace the revised speeches separately, and the messages of the Bresident of the United States, and llio reports ofthe Heads ofthe Executive Departments. The Congressional Globe arid 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 he 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 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. 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 For one copy ofthe Congressional Globe, during the next session, if subscribed for before the first day of January, 1 00 For one copy of the Appendix during the next session, if subscribed for before the first day of January, : 1 00 For six copies of either the Congressional Globe, or the Appendix, or part of both, 5 00 The subscription for the Congressional Globe or the Appendix, after the Ist of January, will be $1 50.

Dr. M. would guard llio public against false reports, viz : that he had removed from Georgia —that he was dead, or deranged in mind. 11 also appears that some itinerant and other doctors, are making, or Hy ing to make, the false impression tiiat they treated diseases precisely as Dr. M. does, there by misrepresenting him, and deceiving their patients, some of w hom, of late, have been wofully imposed upon, and have been obliged to visit Dr. *M. at last. Dr. M. deems it only necessary toadd, that bis 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.
