RELIGIOUS meditations—NO. XVII.
another glimpse from the mountain-top.
Poor hum.-in nature! how art thou buffeted
about, in this cold, unfriendly world ! The peo
ple of worldly minds are daily throwing barriers
in my way, as if—content to go calmly and re
signedly to ruin themselves—they would take
nic with them to perdition. I have erected the
altar of God in my heart, and consecrated my
all upon it; but the enemies of my salvation
seek to pull the altar down. Mv soul delights
to speak of heaven and immortal glory, but I
meet no sympathizing breast in which to pour
these fond emotions. When I would speak of
them I meet a cold repulsive answer, even from
those who think themselves destined for the
joys of Paradise. The thoughtless sinner looks
at me with wonder when I say this world is not
my abiding place ; and he seems surprised to
hear me say that neither the happiness nor woe
of this present world can provoke my hope or
fear. He does not think thus, for lie is bound
up, heart and soul, in the lottery of life ; he im
agines that I am under a strange delusion, be
cause I seek not for gold and silver, and disdain
the paltry honors of ignoble men, for these are
all that lie endeavors to obtain. The hardened
scorner passes ine by with a contemptuous smile,
and calls me weak-minded and a fool. The
more reasonable man desires to know why I
should choose a life of toil and suffering, a life of
cross-bearing and self-denial, when I might pos
sess the fairest and the brightest ofcartli’s bless
ings. He cannot understand why I prefer the
gloomy prayer-meeting to the saloon of mirth
and festivity ; he cannot understand why it is
that I prefer to weep with Christian brethren,
rather than to laugh with jovial and happy ac
quaintances ; lie has never felt the unutterable
joy which comforts the mourner's soul, nor felt
the balm that heals the bleeding heart, nor tast
ed the bliss that wipes away contrition’s tear
Yet all these tend to one point, to discourage
and dispirit me ; and I often feel well-nigh rea
dy to give over the race, and join the multitude
in their downward course.
Out though my enemies are constantly besieg
ing my pathway, endeavoring to fright me from
my allegiance to Heaven, they flee away when
I approach them clad in the armor of faith, and
fortified in the strength of grace ; and although
my spiritual adv isers often prove like the 6n wel
come comforters of Job, yet 1 am not entirely
friendless nnd alone iri my journeyings to the
promise-land, for the few names left in Sardis
are bearing like myselftlie hardships of a dange
rous conflict. We feel that the struggle is for
life or death, that happiness is the prize of vic
tory, and misery the punishino*! for defeat ;and
we desire to hold the grasp of desperation upon
Religion and our hopes of Heaven. If we fail,
or if we succeed, the result is for eternity, and
as our dying moments find us, so shall our judg
ments be awarded.
\\ lienever I have been especially faithful in
private prayer, and frequent in moments of com
munion with God, it is invariably the case that
I enjoy more fully the hallowed privileges ofthc
sanctuary. My mind is prepared for the recep
tion of divine truth, and every word that relates
to Heaven and eternal life, appears a joyful mes
senger from the world of spirits ; the very coun
tenance of the Christian puts on anew appear
ance : indeed, there is a language spoken by na
ture and tlio emblems and outward signs of the
(.liristian Religion, which none hut the praying
spirit can understand. There is a correspond
ence always in course of communication between
Heaven and Earth, which none but the con
stant applicant at the Throne of Grace can com
prelicnd. The mystic voices that whisper a-
Miind the Temple’s altar, cannot bo hoard by
tile dull cars of the lukewarm and neglectful
professor. The still small voice of the Comfort
er cannot he heard by those who forsake the
house, and misemploy tlie seasons, of prayer.
1 lie ministering angels that are sent to pro-
Iceland guide us into the paths of safety, are
minded to forbear their necessary exertions just
so soon as we omit to bow the heart and bend
the knee. At such periods, when I possess the
proving spirit, I often receive the full measure
"f blessing, pressed down, shaken together, and
! running over, till my soul is by no means able
to contain one half the joy and peace that sur-
Mund mo on every hand.
1 hen is it that I ascend the mountain's top
and view the country to which I tin journeying
A sacred peace, calm as the unruffled bosom of
the waveless lake, and an inexpressible joy keep
sentinel over iny carnal desires and inclinations,
and unloose rny bond,aged spirit to bathe itsclfin
the bright anticipations of future glorv. Ilea.
Xcn i iu ail its grandeur and beauty, opens to
tuy imagination, and I feel an almost irresistible
desire to depart and be at peace. “Jerusalem !

COMMENT ISUNNECESSARY-Another
EXTRAORDINARY CASK OF ASTHMA.
Blountsvili.e, Jonos County, Ga., >
August 7th, 1849. )
Dr. M. S. Thomson— Dear Sir —Being under
the impression that a short statement relative to
my case might be productive of good to many
that are now afflicted as I have been, nnd being
desirous of adding my testimony in favor of your
system of practice and skill in curing disease, I
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. 1 applied to
some of the most eminent mineral physicians iu
the State of Mississippi, where I resided, hut
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 he the last ; indeed, I 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 ofthe
Allopathic practitioners, like a drowning man
catching at straws,! 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.
Y r ou there saw, with many others, my condition,
which for a while,was just as described. 1 was
reduced to nearly skin and bone, weighing only
110 lbs., my general health having suffered se
verely from the repeated attacks of my fell tor
mentor ; but it was not long before I commen
ced improving. At first, I would miss one night,
then two, then more ; mv general health also
improved, until now, lam proud to say, that
through your instrumennality, I enjoy excellent
health—have had no attack of Asthma since the
firstweek in March, and now weigh 145 lbs.,
my usual standard of weight in health.
Since then, I have exposed dlyself during all
this rainy season to ali weathers, without being
attacked, which fully justifies and warranls me
in making tnis statement, requesting its publica
tion, trusting that others similarly situated, may
he admonished to cease looking fora cure where
it cannot be found, but resort at once to the means
that have so happily, and in such a limited peri
od restored me to health.
YY’ith abounding feelings of gratitude, respect
and esteem, I remain vours sincerely,
CYRUS L. HOLMES.

More Extraordinary Cures
Effected without seeing the Patient, by .?/. S
TltO.JtSOJir, M. D., Macon, Georgia.
WHILE so much is being said and done by
Gentlemen of a different persuasion, for
the purpose of elevating their profession in the
public estimation ; while societies are being
formed all ovcrtlic country, and resolutions pass
ed declaratory ofthe superiority of their system,
and denunciatory of all and every other; while
j 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
of speech and of opinion in professional men,
especially of those of the “sacred profession,”
nre endevoured to be curtailed, and their con
duct in giving contcnance to other systems de
nounced as “painful and mortifying while, in
fine, they are placing their dependence for ele
vating their profession, on societies, resolutions,
denunciations, prejudices, fears, legislation, &c.
&c.; he it the pride, the happiness, and the glorv
ofthe undersigned, to put his trust in that which
is far more substantial—“/Ae results of his
practice.' These are his dependence, and 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, but“FACTs are stubborn things:”
“Are clieils that winna ding,
And dar na be disputit”—
One ofwhich at any time, is worth a thousand
arguments. On them he has laid the base, and
on them lie expects to raise the superstructure ;

The following letter is from the Rev. John
YV. Mil,s ot the Florida Conference, of the M.
E. Church South ; who without the fear of the
Faculty 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 Into in the day for men to
school themselves into the repression of their
convictions :
QuincY, Florida, April lOlii, 1840.
Dr. M. S. Thomson — Dear Sir : YVith inex
pressible gratitude, I drop you these lines. Since
I received your Medicines, and commenced fol
lowing your [irescription, my health fc so im
proved tiiat I do not now feci the least symptoms
of disease, rny morbid appetite left me on the
commencement of taking your medicines: every
tiling I eat now agrees with me, and I am satis
fied with a common meal.
My Spleen was very much enlarged, and rny
kidneys tailed to do their otlicc when 1 last wrote
you, but these are now corrected
I he miserable restlessness that was my lot of
nights, has left me, nnd I now sleep sweetly ;
indeed my whole sy'stem 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 on meeting
with meat the improvement in my' health.
When I compare my present condition with
my miserable condition a few months ago, I can
not express the gratitude I feel toward you. 1
now enter into conversation with life,as ! once
did, and the same zeal that once burned in my
heart for the Church has been kindled afresh,
with my mind freed from that gloom, inactivity
nnd forgetfulness, which disease find 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
ful,y. JOHN YV. MILLS.

City amt County of XewYorh, tt.
William Armstrong, of the said City, being duly
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, 1819, a mar. 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. If lludson-street, where depo
nent boarded, and requested deponent to write him a
recipe liy which to make a Syrup of Sarsaparilla.
Deponent further says, that he became acquainted
with said Townsend at the office of Theodore Foster,
F.sq., 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 be sold under the name of Dr.
Jacob Townsend.
That said Tow nsend stated he was an old man, and
poor, and was not fit for hard labor—and wished to
make some money, in order to live easy in his old
days, and that, if Sarsaparilla under the name of Town
send sold so well, and so much monev was made by
it. he could see no reason why he might not make
something out of it too, (his name being Townsend,)
if he conTd get a capable person to prepare a recipe,
and manufacture it for him. Deponent in one of the
conversations askeil said Townsend if he was related
to Dr. 8. P. Tow nsend, to which he replied, that lie
knew Dr. 8. P. Tow nsend would be down on him after
lie should commence. But that he did not care for
him, as he had formed n co partnership with men who
could furnish the requisite amount of capital—and was
well prepared to defend himself against any attack
that might be mode on him.
Deponent further says, that pursuant to the request
of said Jacob Townsend, lie wrote a reripc for the
manufacture of a Syrup of Sarsaparilla, ami gave it to
him. Saul Townsend observed that he wanted to
make a specimen to exhibit to his partners for their
approval, as lie wished to gratify them in every thing,
as they furnished all the capital—said Tow nsend also
told deponent that the bottles tlier were to use wero
to lie of the same size and shape'as Ur. S. P. Town
send's, and deponent, at the request of said Jamb
Townsend, went to the office of Ur. S P. Townsend,
ami procured one of his labels.
And deponent further says, that lie has bedn inform,
ed, and verily believes the' Syrup of Sarsaparilla, sold
as Ohl .Jacob Townsend's, is mode after the recipe fur
nished hy deponent, to Jacob Tow nsend, as aforesaid.
And further deponent saith not.

Swoin to before me, this Jltli day of Mav. laid.
u. 8. XVOOUHULL,
Mayor of the City of New York
PROOF!! PROOF!!!
Here is proof conclusive that Dr S. P. Townsend’s
Sarsaparilla is the original. The following is from
some ol the most respectable papers iu this State.
FROM THE
Allinny ICvciiing •Tourtinl*
Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla.
There probably never has been snpopulara remedy,
or patent medicine, as Dr. Townsends's Sarsaparilla,
which w as originally, and continues to he manufac
tured in this city, at first by the Doctor himself, and
afterwurds liir several years and to the present time,
by Clapp St Townsend, the present proprietors. Since
the partnership w as formed, the Doctor has resided in
New York, where he keeps a store, and attends to the
business that accumulates at that point. The manu
factory is in this city, nnd is conducted by the iunior
partner, Mr. Clapp—here all the medicine is manufac
tured.
Few of cur citizens have any idea of the amount of
this medicine that is manufactured and sold. Besides
the sales in this country, it is shipped to the Canadas,
West India Islands, South America, and even to Ku
rope, in considerable quantities. At the manufactory
they employ a steam engine, besides a large number
of men, women and girls, in the preparation of the
medicine, making boxes, printing, t^c., and turn out,
ready for shipment, over 400 dozen j er day, or nearly
6000 bottles. This is an enormous quantity.
The great sale the medicine has acquired, has in
duced a number of men to get up imitations, and there
is at the present time, other medicines for sale, that
are called “ Dr. Townsend’s Sarsaparilla.” One in par
ticular started a short time ago in New York, is called
“ Old Doctor Jacob Tnw»icesd‘s BsrsaptiilJ*o f J -* and ap
parently with a view, by dint of advertising, and the
usual remedies resorted to in such efforts, to appropri
ate the name of Dr. S. I' Townsend's great remedy,
and thus gain all the advantages resulting from the
popularity of the name \\ hicii he has acquired for
by years of patient and expensive labors Dr. S. r.
Townsend, formerly of this city, as is well known
here, is the inventor and original proprietor of the
medicine known as “Dr Townsend's Sarsaparilla,’’
and wo think those persons who arc attempting to sell
their article as the genuine, should be exposed
FROM TDK
Ni*xv \ o» k Onily Tribune.
CC?* published an advertisement inadvertently
some time since that did injustice to Dr. S. I*. Town
send, who is the original proprietor of the preparation
of Sarsaparilla known as Dr. Townsend’S. Other
parties have within the past lew months engaged or
connected themselves with a man by the name of
Townsend who put up a medicine and calls it by the
same name. This medicine was advertised in The
Tribune as the original. &.c. 'I bis advertisement also
contained matter derogatory to the character of Dr.
S. P. Townsend and that of his medicine. We regret
it appeared, and injustice to the Dr. make this ev
plana tiou.
FROM THE
New \ oi k l>nily Sou*
Dr. Towxsp.kd’s extraordinary advertisement,which
occupies an entire page of the Suit, will not escape
notice. J)r. S P. Tow nsend, who is the original pro
prietor ol Dr. Townsend's Sarsaparilla, and whose o£
lice is next door to ours, where he has been for sever
al years, is driving an immense business, lie receives
no less than four hundred dozen of Sarsaparilla per
day, and even this enormous quantity does not supply
the demand. No medicine ever gained so great a
popuiarity as his preparation of the Sarsaparilla. His
edition of Almanacs lor 1849 cost $24,000, and ho
has paid the New York Sr n for advertising, in the
last four years, over SIO,OOO, and he acknowledge*
that it is the cheapest advertising he has had done.
1 his medicine is exported to the Canadas, West In
dies. South America and Europe, in considerable
quantities, and is coming into general use in those
countries, as well os here.
and others that sell Sarsaparilla for the
genuine and original Dr. 'Townsend’s Sarsaparilla,
that is not signed by S% P. Townsend, commits a fraud,
and swindles the customers. Men that would be
guilty of such an act, would commit any other fraud
—and no Druggist of common intelligence but know*
that oui3 is the only genuine.
Olil Jacob Towns?ml.
Some people who are not well informed, and have
not lead the papers, and not seen our advertisements,
have been led to suppose, that because these men ad
vertke their stuff* as ' Old Jacob Townsends,” that it
must, of course, be the original. It is less than one
year since they commenced to make their medicine.
Ours has been in the market over ten years.
Tills Old Jacob Townsend.
They are endeavoring to palm off* on the public as
an old Physician-, Btc. lie is not a regular educated
Physician, and never attempted to manufacture a med
icine, until these men hired him for the use of hi*
name. They say they do not wish the people to be
lieve that their Sarsaparilla is ours, or the same—but
the better to deceive the public, they at the same time
assert that their’a is the Old Dr. Townsend’s, and the
original ; and endeavor to make the people believe
f ' it the stuff* they manufacture, is tire Dr. Townsend'*
' rsaparill#, that has performed so many wonderful
ares for the past ten years, and which has gained a
deputation which no other medicine ever enjoyed —
which is a base, villainous, unprincipled falsehood.
We have commenced suits against these men for
damages. We wish it to be Understood; that the old man
is no relation to Dr. Townsend whatever. In their ad
vertisement* and circulars, they publish a number of
gross falsehoods respecting Dr. Townsend, which we
will not notice.
False Rt porifl.
Our opponents have published in the papers, that
Dr. 8. P. Tow nsend was dead. This they send to their
agents about the country, who ieport that we have
given up business, Jcc. fcc. The public should he on
their guard, and not be deceived by these unprinci
pled men.
