jjgLUiIOVS MEDITATIONS—.VO. XVI.
the SPIRITUAL BOI) V OF THF CHURCH,
few professors of religion are fully awake to |
the importance of liic position which they occu.
The great mass of the Christian world are
evidently insensible to the weighty responsibili
tjcs which hang over them. Content with the
roister of their names upon the church-hook,
,l,ev endeavor to avoid the condemnation of
llieir particular sect, but will not venture any
farther- The legitimate consequence is, that
t t, cv lose the life-spring of Religion granted,
that they nnec possessed it—and those duties
which should engage the most delightful periods
0 f tlicir existence, arc the most difficult of per
formance, and most often neglected of all other
obli'ations. Such a man starts out with a fair
profession —his lamp is well trimmed and setup
on the battlements of Christianity—the Church
rvjoices at the acquisition, and the ungodlv
world hides itself away behind the pillars and
barricades ofthe Arch Fiend. Truly for a lime
ibis man is as a city set upon a hill : ihc light
of his example is not hidden. Rut shortly the
light begins to wane ; the flame decreases, and
the weakest breeze of temptation blow sit here
and there, and after a while the earnest inquirer
after truth cannot tell whether the man is a sol
dierofthe Cross, or a spy from the Devil’s ar
mv. Well may it be said that the interests of
Religion are more effectually injured by the ad
vocacy of such Christians, than by tho avow'ed
•nmttv ofthe ineligjoUS.
I know a young tnan, one of more than ordi
nary talent, with whom I went to the altar for
prayer —and I listened with eagerness whilst he
breathed forth in praise the warmest accents of a
heaven-horn soul. lie made vows of solemn
import, and pledged the remainder of his days
to the service of his Maker. I looked upon his
heavenly countenance, beaming with joy and
gratitude, and though; I beheld a companion for
life—one who would journey on with me to the
Land ofßest, and boar the toils and hardships
on the way, whilst our mutual consolation and
advice would strengthen us for the contest. But
alas! he has fallen from his first estate ; turned
traitor to a righteous cause, and ratified a pro
mise of allegiance to the Enemy, for the sake of
a few worm eaten pleasures and beautiful mock
eries. Ilis first stop to ruin was palliated by the
assertion that older members did so, and now
his case is weil-nigh hopeless. Yet he calmly
talks of drinking the flames of perdition, and of
making his abode with the countless millions o*
the damned.
There are periods when tho Church appears
triumphant for a season, and even makes her
persecutors acknowledge the virtue of her cause
Then she opens her arms to receive the sin-con
victed, and an ephemeral glow spreads itself
over the membership of the Church. But soon
the excitement dies away, and the older members
relapse into coldness and negligence again ; the
younger ones, tempted and tried, and meeting
no cheering smiles or encouraging words from
the exemplars of the Christian character, give
way to Satan, and of course apostatize. Very
few are willing to assign the reason to its proper
source, but it cannot be disputed that the pro
fessedly pious are most at fault.
It is evident to my mind that Church organi
zation is designed to be a bond of union ; and
that union should he one of spiritual existence,
rather than outward appearance. Why has not
the Gospel conquered the whole world ? \Y by
has it not taken captive every stronghold of Sa
tan? Because a very large number of nominal
Christians are hanging as dead weights upon the
cause of truth. Two-tbirds of the human race
are yet destitute of the Billie; two-thirds of the
civilized world are yet in sin and iniquity ; and
two-thirds of the religious world are practical in
fidels. Can it be considered strange, then, that
the world is yet in ignornnee and crime? It is
far better to purge out the old leaven of the
modern Pharisees, than that they should cor
rupt the few names left in Sardis. What a fear
ful test of Christian character is given by the Sa
viour himself! “If ary man have not the spirit
of Christ, he is none of Ilis!’’ Great God !
shall we be judged by this rule ? lloxv shall wc
dare to trifle with Religion, if we arc thus com
pelled to reach this standard of godliness. Is
not this a withering rebuke to those who are en
deavoring to satisfy conscience with a sickly re
ligious walk and conversation ?
Dli, lukewarm Christian ! thou hast once tast
'd the powers of the world to come, and wilt
,llou be content to live alone upon the memories
of the past? Thou are forfeiting thy title to a
home in Heaven—thou art bartering away the
crown of glory ! “Awake ! arise !’’ put on the
beautiful garments of thy first love, and stand in
readiness, for lo ! the Bridegroom comcth ! Art
thou willing to p'> s nit Him to find thee s’eep
lnS’ Hark! dost thou not hear the shouts of
joy in the distance } It is the Master coming
"ith tho servants of the Heavenly Kingdom !
Arise and meet Him !
Downcast and weary Christian ! the Year of
Jubilee is near at hand ! Take courage, poor
dispirited one, and struggle on yet a little while.
The day of release will soon lie here—glory and
honor to the Most High ! To ii on ! ilie burden
of Vifq i t heavy to him who sighs for immortal
'dies, but remetnbor ! the sea of tribulation must
past, before the shores of Paradise are gained.
The night is far spent, the day is at hand ; let us
therefore put off tho works of darkness,and put on
•he whole armor of light.’’ The day is at hand !
Faithful Christian ! thou art blessed cxceed
lng abundantly, more llinn thou const either
or think. Let thy motto he, onward and
t'pward! until thou art entirely assimilated to
'he Divine image. Put thy whole, undivided
ntidcnce in Him, and thou wilt find of a truth
"Hi k° r< * is u sun and shield ; lie
I g"o grace and glory ;no good thing will
' V| thhnld from them that walk uprightly.’’—
| ( "r*e the sentiment ofthe Psalmist: “One
sen'll 8 l '* V 0 1 dented of the Lord, that will I
j ( ''^ ler : that I may dwell in the house of the
|y the day* of my life, to behold the lieau-
Ol un< * to ' n< l ,l ' re in his temple."

COM MENT IS UNNECESSARY-A sother
EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ASTHMA.
Blountsville, Jones County, Ga., }
August 7th, 1849. )
Dr. M. S. Thomson — Dear Sir— Being under
the impression that a short statement relative to
my case might he productive of good to many
that are now afflicted as I have been, and being
desirous of adding my testimony in favor of your
system of practice and skill in curing disease, 1
have concluded to give it, desiring, if you think
proper, to have it published to the world.
STATEMENT:
In September, 1845, I was attacked with Asth
ma, which continued to return at intervals, more
or less frequent, for two years. I applied to
some of the most eminent mineral physicians in
the State of Mississippi, where I resided, but
without benefit—for I continued to get worse—
so much so, that from Ist September, 1847, I
had an attack every night, with only five excep
tions, till February, 1849. During this long pe
riod of nearly eighteen months, my condition
was one of terrible suffering, compelled as I
was, to sit up almost all the time trying to catch
my breath, which every minute seemed as if it
were to be the last : indeed, 1 have been for ten
days at a time that I dared not place my head
upon a pillow, wheezing and breathing in a
manner to have been heard over a hundred
yards.
Having exhausted the skill and means of the
Allopathic practitioners, like a drowning man
catching atstraws,! resolved to employ a Homoe
opathic Doctor, who for a time, treated my case;
but alas ! he also failed and left me in the very
depths of despair.
In this condition I left Mississsppi and came to
Georgia, and in January of this year, as a forlorn
hope, placed myself under your care in Macon.
You there saw, with many others, my condition,
which Ibr a while,was just as described. I was
reduced to nearly skin and bone, weighing only
110 lbs., my general health having suffered se
verely from tho repeated attacks of my fell tor
mentor ; but it was not long before I commen
ced improving. Atfirst, I would miss one night,
then two, then more ; mv general health also
improved, until now, lam proud to say, that
throogh your instrumennality, I enjoy excellent
health—have had no attack of Asthma since the
firstweekin March, and now weigh 145 lbs.,
my usual standard of weight in health.
Since then, I have exposed myself during all
this rainy season to all weathers, without being
attacked, which fully justifies and warrants me
in making tnis statement, requesting its publica
tion, trusting that others Similarly situated, may
be admonished to cease looking for a cure where
it cannot be found, hut resort at once to the means
that have so happily, and in such a limited peri
od restored me to health.
With abounding feelings of gratitude, respect
and esteem, I remain vour* sincerely,

WHILE so much is being said and done by
Gentlemen of a different persuasion, for
j the purpose of elevating their profession in the
] public estimation ; while societies arc being
j formed all overthe country, and resolutions pass
-1 cd declaratory ofthe superiority of their system,
, arid denunciatory of all and every other ; white
1 the prejudices ofthe past are being aroused, and
| the fears ofthe future arc being appealed to;
while legislative aid is being invoked, and ad
verse interference denounced ; while the freedom
ol speech and of opinion in professional men,
especially of those of the “sacred profession,”
arc rudevoured to be curtailed, and their con
duct in giving rontnnanco to other systems de
nounced as “painful and mortifying while, in
fine, they are placing their dependence for elc
x ating their profession, on societies, resolutions,
denunciations, prejudices, fears, legislation, &o.
&c.; he it the pride, the happiness, and the glory
of the undersigned, to put his trust in that which
is tar more substantial — “the results of his
practice. ' These are his dependence, Hnd to
them lie looks for that “professional” elevation
to which lie aspires ; and judging ofthe future
by the past, he has every reason to believe that
he will not he disappointed. Influential bodies
may rail, ridicule, and donounce; legislation
may- place its ban and promulgate its anathe
mas ; individuals may scandalize, backbite, and
traduce, biit“FACTS are stubborn tilings
“Are cheils that winna ding,
And dar nil be disputit”—
One of which at any time, is worth a thousand
arguments. On them he has laid the base, and
011 them he expects to raise the superstructure ;
and in accordance with usage, will still append
more to the list, already before the. public.
The following letter is from the Rev. John
H . Mil.s of the Florida Conference, of the M
K. Church South ; who without the fear of the
I acuity before his eyes, dares their rebuke and
accusation of guilt of “painful and mortifying”
conduct, and boldly’ gives his experience to the
world. It is too late in the day for men to
school themselves into the repression of their
convictions :
Quiver, Florida, April 1011i,1849.
Dr. M. S. Thomson— Dear Sir : With inex
pressible gratitude, I drop you these lines. Since
I received your Medicines, and commenced fol
lowing your prescription, my health is so im
proved that I do not now feel tho least symptoms
of disease, inv morbid appilitc lift nie on the
commencement of taking your medicines : every
thing I cat now agrees with me, and I am satis
fied with a common meal.
My Spleen was very much enlarged, and mv
kidneys failed to do their office when 1 lastwrote
you, but these are now corrected
The miserable restlessness that was my lot of
nights, has left me, and I sleep sweetly ;
indeed my whole system is regular and easy.
So sudden was the change,that my friends, (those
of them who did not know that I was taking
your medicine,) were astonished ori meeting
with m« at the improvement in my health.
When I compare my present condition with
niy miserable condition a few months ago, I can
not express the gratitude I feel toward you. I
now enter into conversation with life,as I once
did, and the same zeal that on (lb burned in my
heart for the Church has been kindled afresii,
with my mind freed from that gloom, inactivity
and forgetfulness,which disease had engendered,
and I yet hope to live long to preach the un
searchable riches of Christ. I have yet some
medicines left, &c. I am, dear sir, yours grate
fully, JOHN W. MILLB.

City and County nj Aw York, it
William Armstrong, of the said Titv, being dultr
sworn, doth depose and say that he 'is a practical
Druggist and Chemist. That some time in the latter
part of .May, or first of June, 1848, a man by the name
of Jacob Townsend, who at that time was a book and
pamphlet peddler, called upon deponent, at the house
of Mr. Thompson, No. 43 Hudson-street, w here depo
nent boarded, and requested deponent to write him a
recipe by which to make a Syrup of Sarsaparilla.
Deponent further Rays, that he became acquainted
with said Townsend fit the office of Theodore Foster.
Ksq., Book Publisher, with whom said Townsend
dealt. That said Townsend had had frequent conversa
tions with deponent respecting the manufacture of an
article of Sarsaparilla to he sold under the name of Dr
Jacob Townsend.
That said Townsend stated he was an old man, and
poor, and was not fit for hard iall o r—and wished to
make some money, in order to live easy in his old
days, and that, if Sarsaparilla under the namoof Town
send sold so well, and so much money was made by
it, he could see no reason why lie might not make
something out of it too, (his name being Townsend,)
if he could get a capable person to prepare a recipe,
and manufacture it for him. Deponent in one of the
conversations asked said Townsend if he was related
to Dr. S. I*. Townsend, to which lie replied, that he
knew Dr. 9. P. Townsend would he down on him after
he should commence. But that he did not care for
him. as he had formed a co-partnership with men who
could furnish tho requisite amount of capital—and was
well prepared to defend himself against any attack
that might he made on him.
Deponent further says, thal pursuant to the request
of said Jacob 'iownstnd, he wrote a recipe for the
manufacture of a Syrup of Sarsaparilla, and gai e it to
him. Said Townsond observed that he wanted to
make a specimen to exhibit to his partners lor their
approval, us he wished to grutify them in every tiling
as they furnished all the capital-said Townsend also
;-M deponent that the bottles they were to u.-e were
to be of the saw? size and shape’as Dr. s. p. Town
sends, and deponent, at the request of said Jacob
Townsend, went to the office of Dr S P. Townsend,
and procured one of his labels.
And deponent further soys, that he lias been inform
| ed, and veiily believes the’Syrup of Sarsaparilla, sold
l a, Old dacoli Townsend's, is made after the iccipe fur
i nished by deponent, to Jacob Tow nsend, as aforesaid.

PROOF!! PROOF!!!
j Here is prntd conclusive that Dr BP. Townsend'*
' Sai'Kdpanlla is the original. The following iy from
aorne of the most respectable papers in this State.
FROM THE
I Albany Evening Journal,
Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla.
j There probablv never has been so popular* itmedv
I or patent medicine at Dr. Tow n-ends's Sarsaparilla,
I which was originally, and continues to be mannlac
tured in this city, at first by the Doctor himself; and
afterwards for several years and to the present time,
by Clapp St Townsend, ijie present proprietors. Since
the partnership w as formed, the Doctor has resided in
New York, w here he keeps a store, and attends to tho
business that accumulates ut that point. The manu
| factory is in this city, and is conducted by the junior
I partner, Mr. Clapp—here all the medicine is munulac
tured.
Lew of cur citizens have any idea of the amount of
tins medicine that is manufactured and sold li*xide«
the sales ill this country, it is shipped to the Cana,las.
west India Islands, South tmerien, and even to Kn.
rope, in considerable quantities. At the manufactory
they employ a steam engine, besides a laree number
of men, women and girls, in the preparation of the
medicine, making boxes, printing, Nc , and turn out
ready for shipment, over 100 dozen rer dav, or nearly
6000 bottles. This is an enormous quantity.
The groat sale the medicine ha, acquired, lias in
duced a number of men to get up imitations, and there
is at the present time, other medicines for sale that
arc called •• Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla." One in par
t'cnljir started a s'ywt time ago in New Yoik, is called
Old Doctor Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla," and ap

Usual remedies resulted to in such ad'orts, to appropii
and thus gain all the advantages resulting from tire
popularity of the name which he hns acquired for ! ,
by years of patient and expensive labors Ilf S. T
Townsend, formerly of this city, ns is well known
here, is ttie inventor and original proprietor of the
medicine known as “Dr Townsend’s .Sarsaparilla,'’
and we think those persons who are attempting tosell
their article as the genuine, should be exposed
FROM THR

(jJ- Me published an advertisement madverteyitlv
some lime since that did injustice to Dr. S. p. Town
send, who is the original proprietor of the preparation
of Sarsaparilla known as Dr. Townsend’s. Other
parties ha\e within the post lew months engaged or
connected themselves with a man by the name of
i own-end w ho put up a medicine and calls it bv the
same name. This medicine was advertised in' The
Tribune as the original, kc. This advertisement also
contained matter derogatory to the character of Dr.
S. P. Townsend and that of hie medicine We regret
it appeß-ed, and in justice to the Dr. make this ex
planation.

New Ys.i-k lfnlly Still.
Dr. Towxsr.xu’s extraordinary advertisement.which
occupies an entire page ol the Sex, will not escape
notice. Dr, (, P. Tow nsend, who is the original pro
prictor of Dt. Townsend 'g Sarsaparilla, and whose of
ice is next door to ours, where he has been tor sever
al jeuvs, is driving a p immense business. lie receives
no ess than four hundred dozen of Sarsaparilla per
th ’ ‘ cven enormous quantity does not supply
the demand. No medicine ever gained so great a
popularity as his preparation of the Sarsaparilla. His
edition ol Almanacs for 1*49 cost *‘2’2,000, and ho
has paid the New York Sun for advertising, in the
last four years, over SIO,OOO, and he acknowledge#
that it is the cheapest advertising he has had done.
J ms medicine is exported to the Canadas, West fn
dics, South America and Europe, in considerable
quantities, and is coming into general us# in those
countries, as well as here.

Druggists and others that sell Sarsaparilla for th#
genuine and original Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla,

Some people who are not well inarmed, and have
not read the papers, and not seen o-. r advertisement.,
have been led to suppose, that because these men ad
