Fistula isi Auocoml without the use of the Knife. DR. \V. W. M ARSH ALL, of Macon, Ga., would call flu; 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 cored hv him. In the treatment oi'fistula, recourse is generally Ind to the knife, which is always painful and often hazardous and very frequently unsuccessful. More than one half of the cases that have coma under his care of late, had been subject to the knife without experiencing the least benelif, but rather made worse. 1 hey were perfectly cured bv 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 case* the treatment does not prevent the ordinary pursuits of business, although the patient is necessaiily obliged to be under the immediate care and su pervisiun 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 he pursues is obliged to succeed in ninety-nine eases out of a hundred, jf not in every ease of Fistula. Savannah, March 15, 1349. 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 me almost from atten ding to my business. —During this time 1 consul ted several physicians both in this city and Charleston, ami was informed by nil ot them, the disease was incurable save bylhc knife ol 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 this time I saw l)r. Marshall s card in the Christian Advocate, and communi cated with him on the subject, and after being satisfied that lie did cure tin.; disease, 1 determined to place myself under his treatment, and lie com menced to treat my case. I remained there four weeks and returned home nearly well, and lam 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. \\ i' ll regard to the Doctor's treatment, it is attended compara tively with little pain, l 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, vvilli his peculiar mode ol practice, can cure the most eases of Fistula with less pain to the patient, in a shorter time and with more certainty than any physician that l have heard ot, and would with groat confidence, arising from experience, advise all who are afflicted with this dreadful malady, not to hesitate but at once to place themselves under bis treatment, and 1 doubt not their most sanguine expectations will he realized. ft gives me great pleasure to say that in till my intercourse with Dr. Marshall, I found him tin perfect gentleman, and an intelligent, devoted ebristuin. JAS. L. LODI KEY. (Crßev.Jas.E. Godfrey is known to the public ns a local Methodist Minister, and is engaged in merchandizing in Savannah, where lie may he addressed on the subject. W. \V. M. Due West Corner, ) Abbeville District, S. C-, July LI, 1343. ) Dr. \V. 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 id' 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 Stale, were employed for my relief, but their united ef forts were unsuccessful. My health grew worse and worse—l became debilitated in body and inind, and my friends entertained fearful appre hensions of tny recovery. Casually looking over a paper published in Charleston, S. C., my attention was arrested by a notice ofthe 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 ofthe knife or caustic. I must say tny faith was weak, but I resolved to give him a trial. 1 placed myself under his care and treatment. lie lias effected a perfect cure— Miy whole frame is invigorated — he has infused Hew life into tny hitherto dead body—l have ex perienced a resurrection from the dead, and all the energizing and renovating effects of a now creation. lam in very deed anew mail. 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, rcspectfullv, CORNELIUS M. SHARP. luvvinton, March 20, 1818. Dear Sir —ln compliance with jour request, I-send you a certificate of tlie 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 he 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 tinued to decline until some time in the month of March, 1847, w hen I was confined to im 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 lie could cure me? —he answered ho thought lie could, but that I must expect to suffer a long time be fore lie could perform a permanent cure. The Doctor then commenced treating the ea.ic, and continued to do so for seven weeks, without any material benefit, and tben advised me to go to Macon and place myself under your control, as Jib knew you from character, to he 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 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 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 f can then express my gratitude, to you in person. With due respect, 1 am sir, your obliged and humble servant, EDWIN TARPLEY. Dr. Marshall.

To deserve the patronage which Congress has accorded to their report* of its debates, in receiving and making the Globe the official register, they intend lo add promptitude to whatever merit has hitherto re commended the work. They will publish a Daily Globe, to rceord 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 ofthe 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 ofgreatcst 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, ns a newspaper, and ns 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 0. 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 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 ol 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 tiie 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 impaitiai 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 nress 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 Glolie (daily during the session of Congress, and Weekly during the recess,) a year, : : $5 00 For one copy-of the ll’ccfr/i/ C/oftc,oneyear,2 00 For one copy of the 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 subscribed for before the first day WJanuary, : 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 he $1 50. The original price of One Dollar does not pay the expenses ofthe publication in consequence of the great increase of matter pub lished. Our prices for these papers are so low that we cannot afford to credi; them out ; therefore no person need consume time in ordoriug them, unless the subscription price accompanies the order.

Dr. M. would guard the public against false reports, viz : that lie had removed from Georgia—that he was dead, or deranged in mind. 1 1 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 patients, some of whom, of late, have been wofully imposed upon, anti have been obliged to visit Dr. M. at last. Dr. M. deems it only necessary toadd, that hisformer and continues success in the management of these diseases, is conclusive evidence of the superiority of his practice overall o'hers known in this, or and other country. For the correctness of this as sertion he refers to his pamphlet on Cancer, A-c., which may he obtaimd 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 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 whole, and also to those who are continually under treatment from various parts ofthe Union, in every stage and variety of the complaints.— The treatment is without the use of tiie knife, or caustic, and is both constitutional and local dec 2 I—ts tlndcy’s Lady’s Book for 1819.
