Fistula in .4nocured without the
use of the Knife.
DU. W. \V. MARSHALL, orMaeon, Ga.,
would call the attention of the Public to a
number of certificates published, and which lie
will continue to publish in various papers in the
State, of cases oi'Fistula cured by hint. In the
treatment of Fistula, 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,
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 does not prevent the ordinary pursuits
of business, although the patient is necessarily
obliged to he under the immediate care and su
pervision 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 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 fiflcen 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 I consul
ted several physicians both in this city and
Charleston, anil was informed by all of them,
the disease was incurable save by the knife of the
surgeon. Learning tlie operation was not only
very painful but dangerous and not always suc
cessful, I was very mush opposed to submit to it,
and allowed tlie disease to progress so tar as to
present the alternative to submit to be operated
upon, nr die. At this time I saw I)r. Marshall s
card in the Christian Advocate, and communi
cated with him on the subject, and after being
satisfied that lie did cure the disease,! determined
to place myself under his treatment, and lie 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 w ould
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 little pain, I was at no time confined
to the bed more than one day, anil to the house
blit a very short time, lie 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 than 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 hut at once to place themselves
under his treatment, and I doubt not their most
sanguine expectations will be realized.
It gives me great pleasure to say that in all tny
intercourse with Dr. Marshall, I found him the
perfect gentleman, and an intelligent, devoted
cliristain. J AS. L. GOD! REY.

Due West Corner, }
Abbeville District, S. C., July 13, 1848. y
Dr. W. \V. Marshall —Dear Sir—Relieving
as Ido, 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 of 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 of the State,
were employed for my relief, but their united ef
forts were unsuccessful. My health grew worse j
and worse—l became debilitated in body and !
mind, and my friends entertained fearful appre- |
hensionsof my recovery.
Casually looking over a paper published in
Charleston, S. C., my attention was arrested by a
notice oftlie 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. lie has effected a perfect cure—
my whole frame is invigorated—lie has infused
new life into my hitherto dead body—l have ex
perienced a resurrection from tiic 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 ot the
knife or caustic could not have prevented but
hastened. Yours, respectfully,
CORNELIUS M. SHARP.
I r\v is ton , March 20, 1848.
Dkar 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 I 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 cheeked, 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, when I was confined to my bed,
without knowing with what disease I 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 he could
cure me?—he answered he thought he could,
but that I must expect to sufler 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
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 benelittcd by your
treatment.
i have now entirely recovered my long lost
health, and 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 ns 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 TARPLEY.
Dr. Marshall.

CAUTION EXTRA
\ man by the name of CJ~IP P has enjMpcd with a
young man of the name of ?. I*. Townsend, and nses his
■ame to put up a SarsajwtrilU, which they call l)r. Town
send's Sarsaparilla, denominating it GFNU/NE, Original,
etc. This Townsend is no doctor, and never was : hot was
formerly a worker on niTroads, canals, and the like. Yet he
assumes the title of IV.. for the purpose of paining credit for
what he is not. This is to caution the public not to be
deceived, and purchase none but the GENUINE. GRIG I
NAL OLD Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, having on
it the Old Dr's, likeness, his family coat of arms, and his
signature across the coat of arms.
Principal Office, 102 Nussau-st., New York City.
OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND,
THF. nnifllNAl. DISCOVERER OF THE
(.entiiue Townsend Sarsaparilla.
Old Dr. Townsend t» now about 70 years of aer, and lias
long been known as the AUTHOR and DISCOVERER
of the G ENU/NE ORIGINAL “TO IVNS END SAR
SAPARILLABeing poor, he was compelled to limit its
uianufirtHre, by which means it has been kept out of mar
ket. and the sales rircuinscrDied to those only who had
proved its worth, and known its value. It had reached
the ears of many, nevertheless, as those persons who had
been healed ot’ 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 be
of Incalculable advantage to mankind when the means
would he furnished to bring it into universal notice, when
its Inestimable virtues would he known and appreciated.
This time has come, the means are supplied ; this
OR A.YD AJfD 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 S. I* 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 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
perties, and some properties which are inert or useless, and
others, which If retained in preparing it for use, produce
fermentation and acid, which is injurious to the system.
Souie of the pnqierties 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 experienced in its manufacture. Moreover, these
volatile principles, which fly oil' in vapor, or as an exhaia
lion, under heat, are the very essential medical properties
nf 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
the root than from any thing else: they can then strain
this Insipid or vapid liquid, sweeten with sour molasses,
and then call it “SARSAPARILLA EXTRACT or SY
RIJP." Hut 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.'ft is made the most powerful agent in the
Cure ot innumerable diseases.
Hence the reason why we hear commendations tin every
side in its favor by men, women, and children. We find it
doing wonders in the cure of
CONSUMPTION, DYSPEPSIA, and LIVER COM
PI. A INI', ami in RHEUMATISM, SCROFULA.
PILES, COS f/VENESS, all CUTANEOUS ERUP
TIONS, PIMPLES , RLOCTHES, ami all affections

It possesses a marvellous efficacy in all complaints arising
from Indigestion, from Acidity of the Stomach, from unequal
circulation, determination of blood to the head, palpitation
oftlie heart, cold feet anil hands, cold chills and hot flashes
over the body. It has not its equal in Colds and Coughs ;
ami promotes easy expectoration anti gentle perspiration,
relaxing stricture of the lungs, throat, and every other part. |
Hut 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 Aldus or IVhites, Fall

Irregularity of the menstrual |»eriods, anti the like ; and
is as etfeciuul in curing all the forms of Kidney Disease s.
By removing obstructions, and regulating the general
system, it gives tone and strength to the whole body, aud
thus cures all forms of
Nervous diseases and debility,
ami thus prevents or relieves a great variety of other mala
tlies, as Spinal irritation. Neuralgia, St. Vitus' Dance
Swooning, Epileptic Fits, Convulsions, &.C.
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,
.utrifles the skin, equalises the circulation ot the blood,
producing gentle warmth ’equally all over the body, and
the insensible perspiration ; relaxes all strictures and tight
ness, removes all 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 S. P. Townsend’s
COMPARED VVTTH
because of one GRAND FACT, that the one is INCAP A
BLE of DETERIOR ATION, and
NEVER SPOILS,
while Ihe other DDKS ; souring, fermenting, and blowing
Che bottles containing it into fragments ; the sour, acid liquid
exploding, and damaging other goods ! Must not this horn
ble compound tie poisonous to the system? — What! put
end into a system already diseased with acid.' What causes
Dyspepsia but acid ? Do w’e not all know that when food
sours in our stomachs, what mischiefs it produces ? flatu
lence, heartburn, palpitation of the heart, liver complaint,
diarrhira. dysentery, colic, and corruption of the blood!
What is Scrofula but an acid humor in the body 1 What
produces all lhe humors which bring on Eruptions of the
Skin, Seald.Head, Salt Itheum, Erysipelas, White Swell
logs, Fever Sores, and all ulcerations internal and external!
It is nothing under heaven, but an acid substance, which
sours, and thus spoils all the fluids of the body, more or
less. What causes Rheumatism but a sour or acid fluid
which insinuates itself between the joints and elsew here,
irritating and inflaming the delicate tissues upon which it
acts ! So of nervous diseases, of impurity of the blood. 01

afflict human nature.

POUND” OF S. P. TOWNSEND,
irui yet he would fit in have it understood that Old l)r, JncoL
Townsend's Genuine Or.tjrinal Sarsaparilla, is an i.MITA

Heaven forbid that wc should deal in an article which
would lair the most distant resemblance to S. I*. Town
scud's article ! and which should bring down upon the Old
Dr. such a mountain load of complaints and criminations
from Airenta who have sold, and purchasers who have u*ed
P. Townsend's FIORMKNTINIi COMPOUND.
We wish it understood, because it is the absolute truth,
that S. P. Townsend's article .and Old Dr. Jacob Town
*end’u Sarsaparilla are heaven icidc apart , and infinitely dis
similar ; that they are unlike in every particular, having
not one single thing in common.
As S. 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
man. w hat guarantee can the public have that they are re
ceiving a genuine scientitic medicine, containing all tht
virtues of the article:; used in preparing it. and which arc- in
capable of changes which might render them the AGENTS
of Disease instead of health.
Hut what else should he expected from one who know*
nothing comparatively of medicine or disease ! It requires
a |>erson of some exjierience to cook and serve up even a
common decent meal. How much more important is it that
the persons who manufacture medicine, designed lor

• I'lli: GLOBE :
A Congressional , Agricultural and Literary
.Ycicspapcr.
r |TUIE Editors oftlie Congressional Globe pro
|_ pose anew publication. To deserve the
patronage which Congress has accorded to their
reports of its 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 oftlie daily newspaper,
it is designed to gather the news front all quar
ters, and complete the contents by drawing from
every source that may be of most interest among
literary novelties, and ofgreatestutility 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, as a newspaper, and as a vehicle
of information afid 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 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 he al
lowed to sav a few words of him. He is a gen
tlcman favorable known to the Government, for
talent and judgment which distinguished his di
plomatic service while connected with the mis
sion to CLuito ; 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 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
has done for the last sixteen years,Congression
al pioceedingsand debates exclusively.
The Appendix will embrace the revised
speeches separately, and thq. messages of the
President of the United States,and the reports
oftlie 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 tiie end of
the session.
Nothing of a political party aspect wi ll 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 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.

?T flirted with Cancer, Fistula, XV ens, and
all ulcers and tumors,originating from wbatso
evercause, that he is permanently .located in
the city of Macon, where he may be found
both summer and u inter. Dr. M . would guard
the public against false reports, viz : that he
had removed from Georgia—tha.t lie was dead,
or deranged in mind. It also ap pears that some
itinerant and other doctors, are making, or try

treated diseases precisely as Dr. M. does, there
by misrepresenting him, and deceiving their
patients, some of whom, of late, have been
vvofully 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
success in the management of tli ese diseases, is
conclusive evidence of the sup eriority of his
practice over all others known in this, or and
other country. For the correctness of this as
