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. O’Rov.Jas.E. Godfrey is known to the public as a local Methodist Minister, and is engaged in merchandizing in Savannah, where he may he addressed on the subject. W. \\ . M. 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.

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 arising from IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD. 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 ing of the ll omb. Obstructed, Suppressed, or Painful Menses, 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 deranged circulations, and nearly all the ailments which afflict human nature. Now' is it not horrible to make and sell, and infinitely worse to use litis bou.iolo FERMENTING. ACID “COM 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 HON of his inferior preparation !! 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 WEAK STOMACHS AND ENFEEBLED SYSTEMS, should know well the medical properties of plants, the best manner of securing and concentrating their healing virtues, also an extensive knowledge of the various diseases " hich affect the human system, and how to adapt remedies to thc-e diseases! It is to sirred fraud' upon the unfortunate, to pour balm into wounded humanity, to kindle hope in the despairing bosom, to restore health and bloom, and vigor into the crushed ai.d hr. ken. anti to banish infirmity that OIJ) DR. JACOB roVYNSLND has BOUGHT and FOUND the op portunity and limans to bring his Oiiiml Universal Concentrated Remedy within the reach, ami to the knowledge of all who need it, that they tit ty learn and know, by joyful experience, its Transcendent Power to Heal.

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. TERMS: For one copy of the Daily Globe (daily during the session of Congress, and Weekly during the recess,) a year, : • 00 For one copy of the 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 ofthe 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'. 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 orderiug them, unless the subscription price accompanies the order.

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 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 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 sertion he refers to his pamplilet on Cancer, &c., which may be obtain* and gratis, by appli cation to him by letter (post pa id) or otherwise.
