OLD DU. JACOB
TflF, original discoverer of the
Gcuuiiie Townsend Sarsaparilla-
O il Dr. Townsend is now about 70 years of age. ami has
long lieen known as the AUTHOR and DISCOVERER
of the GENUINE ORIGINAL “ TO HNS END SIR
SAPARILLA.' 1 Peing poor, he was compelled to limit its
nianufactare, by which means it has been kept out of mar
ket, and the sales circumscribed 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 of sore diseases, and saved from death, pro
claimed iu 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 be furnished to bring it into universal notice, when
Its inestimable virtues would lie known and appreciated.
This time has come, the means are supplied ; this
GRAND AND 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 K. I* Townsend’s, it improves with age, and
never changes, but for the better : because it is prepared on
sctmtijic principles by a scientific man. The highest knowl
edge of Chemistry, and the latest discoveries of the art,
have all l*een 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
l*erties, and some properties which are inert or useless, and
others, w hich if retained in preparing it for use, produce
fermentation and acid, which is injurious to the system.
Koine of the properties of Sarsaparilla are so volatile, that
they entirely evaporate and are lost in the preparation, if
they are not preserved by a scientific process, know n only
to those experienced in its manufacture. Moreover, these
volatile principles, which fly off in vapor, or as an exhala
tion. under heat, are the very essential medical properties
of 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
|he root than from any thing else; they can then strain
this Insipid nr vapid liquid, sweeten with sour molasses,
*nd then call it " KAKSAPA KILL A EXTRACT or SY
RUP." Rut such is not the article known ms the
GENUINE OLI) DK. 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
nnd concentrated form ; and thus it is rendered incapable of
losing any of its valuable and healing properties. Prepared
In this way, it is made the most powerful agent in the
Cure of innumerable disease*.
Hence the reason why we hear commendations on every
side In its favor by men, women, and children. We find it
doing wonders in the cure of
CONSUMPTION ; DYSPEPSIA , nnd LIVER COM
rLA INI', ami in RHEUMATISM, SCROFULA .
PILES, COSY/VENESS, all CUTANEOUS Eli UP
TUNS, PIMPLES, BLOCTHES , and all affections
arising from
IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD.
It possesses a marvellous efficacy in ail complaintsarising
from Indigestion, from Acidity of the Stomach, from unequal
circulation, determination of flood to the head, palpitation
of the heart, cold feel and hands, cold chills nnd hot flashes
over the body. It has not its equal in Colds ami Coughs ;
and promotes easy expectoration and gentle |»erspirution,
relaxing stricture of the lungs, throat, and every other part.
Rut in nothing is its excellence more manifestly seen and
acknowledged thxn in all kinds and stages of
FEMALE COMPLAINTS.
It works wonders in cases of Euor Albus or IVhites, Fall
ing of the IVo mb. Obstructed, Suppressed, or Painful Menses,
Irregularity of the menstrual |ieriods, and the like; and
is as etlecuial iu curing all the forms of Kidney Diseases.
Ry 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, •
and thus prevents or relieves a great variety of other mala
dies, 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
towels of tor|K>r and constipation, allays inflammation,
purifies the skin, equalises the circulation of the blood,
producing gentle warmth equally all over the body, and
the insensible perspiration; relaxes ail strictures ami tight

nervous system. U not this then

! Fistula in Ano cured without tlic
use of the Knife.
DR. W. W. MARSHALL, of Macon, Ga.,
would call the 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 Fistulacured by him. In the
j treatment of Fistula, recourse is generally had
to the knife, which is always painful and often
hazardous aud very frequently unsuccessful.
More than one half of the cases that have
come under Ills care of late, had been subject to
the knife without experiencing the least benefit,
but rather made worse. They were perfectly
cured by Dr. Af. without the use of the knife, or
any such operation, without the least danger, and
w ith 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 be under the immediate care and su
pervision of the Doctor from one to four weeks,
accordingly as the nature and circumstances of
the case may demand.
Dr. M. does not exaggerate, when he says that
the plan of treatment lie 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 fifteen years I
j was afflicted with that dreadful disease. Fistula,
, and for the last twelve months suffered so much
j pairi, as to incapacitate me almost from atten
| ding to my business. —During this time I consul
j ted several physicians both in this city and
; Charleston, ami was informed by all of them,
I the disease was incurable save by the knife of 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 he operated
upon, or die. At this time I saw Dr. Marshall’s
card in the Christian Advocate, and communi
cated with him on the subject, and after being
satisfied that he did cure the disease, I determined
to place myself under his treatment, and he com
menced to treat my case. I remained there
four weeks and returned home nearly well, and
I am happy now to say entirely restored. I would
no doubt liave 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, and to the house
hilt 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
casesof Fistula with less pain to ihc patient, in
a shorter time and with more certainty than any
physician that I have heard of, and would with
great confidence, arising from experience, advise
all who are afflicted with this dreadful malady,
not to hesitate but 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 my
intercourse with Dr. Marshall, 1 found him the
perfect gentleman, and an intelligent, devoted
christain. J AS. E. GODFREY.

Due West Corner, )
Abbeville District, S. C., July 13, 1848. J
Dr. \V. \V. Marshall —Dear Sir—Believing
ns I do, that you have effectually cured me of
the Fistula, an exceedingly stubborn, painful
and dangerflus disease, 1 take pleasure in contri
buting my mite for the purpose of relieving the
sufferings of those who may be afflicted with a
similar disease.
1 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
and worse—l became debilitated in body and
mind, and my friends entertained fearful appro-
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 lias effected a perfect cure—
my whole frame is invigorated—he has infused
new life into my hiiherio dead body—l have cx
perienced a resurrection from the 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 of the
knife or caustic could not have prevented but
hastened. Yours, respectfully,
CORNELIUS M. SHARP.
Irwinton, Marcli 20, 1848.
Dear Sir —In compliance with your 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 chocked, 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 Marcli, 1847, when I was confined to my bed,
without knowing with what disease I was af
flicted, until Dr. William Fisher, of Invinton,
was called in,and pronounced the disease to he
Fistula in ano.
I then asked the Doctor if lie thought lie could
cure me?—he answered ho thought he could,
hut that I must expect to suffer 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, ns
he knew you from character, to be a gentleman
of intelligence, piety and experience. 1 accord
ingly went to Macon and placed myself under
your control, and in a shorter time than 4 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 I 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, I will visit Macon, as
I can then express iny gratitude to you in person.
With due respect, I am sir, your obliged and
humble servant, EDWIN TARPLEY.
Dr. Marshall.
O’Mr. Williams, late Proprietor ofthe Wash
ington Hall, has a knowledge of Mr. Tarlev’s
case, as he boarded at the Washington Hall while
under my care.
In this case there were throe abscesses, all of
them mplete, viz: external and internal. The
discharge was very copious, at least a half a pint
per day, and very acrid and offensive. There
could not be u worse case to be cured

Let Facts Speak !
COMMENT 18 UNNECESSARY— Another
extraordinary case of ASTHMA.
Blountsv ili.e, Jones County, Ga., )
August 7th, 1849. J
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 favorof vour
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. I applied to
some of the most eminent mineral physicians ia
the State of Mississippi, where I resided, but i
without benefit—for I continued to get worse — j
so much so, that from Ist September, 1847, Ii
had an attack every night , with only five excep- I
tions, till February, 1849. During this long pe- ;
riod of nearly eighteen months, my condition ;
was one of terrible suffering, compelled as I I
was, to sit up almost all tlie time trying to catch j
my breath, which every minute seemed as if it!
were to be the last; indeed, I have been for ten '
days at a time tiiat 1 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 at straws,l resolved to employ a Homoe
opathic Doctor, who for a time, treated my case;
but alas I lie also failed and left me in the very
depths of despair.
in this condition I left M ississsppi and came to
Georgia, arid 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 for a while,was just as described. I was
reduced to nearly skin and hone, 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 ; rny general health also
improved, until now, lam proud to say, that
through your instrumnnnality, I enjoy excellent
health—have had no attack of Asthma since the
first week in 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 he found, but resort at once to the means
that have so happily, and in such a limited peri
od restored me to health. 1
With abounding feelings of gratitude, respect
and esteem, I remain yours sincerely, F
CYRUS L HOLMES.

FIIE GLOBE :
A Congressional, Agricultural and Literary
Newspaper.
'■’HE Editors oftlie Congressional Globe pro-
I pose anew publication. To deserve the
patronage •which Congress lias accorded to their
reports ofits 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
Dailv Globe, to record the proceedings and de
bates as they occur ; and a Congressional Globe
periodically, as heretofore, embodying the re
ports of Congressseparate from the miscellaneous
matter which will accompany them in the daily
print. To fill the sheet of the daily newspaper,
ilis 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 of greatest 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, advun
ta»eously used. Original essays, especially on
topics connected with agriculture, will be obtain
ed from the most enlightened anil practical men
of our country.
The Globe, as a newspaper, and as a vehicle
of information and amusement in other respec’s,
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 be al
laaved to say a few words of him. He is a gen
tleman favorable known to the Government, for
talent and judgment which distinguished bis 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 ofCongress,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
lias done for the last sixteen years, Congression
al pioccedingsand debates exclusively.
The Appendix will embrace tbe revised
speeches separately, and the messages of the
President of the United States, and the reports
of the Heads oftlie 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 parly aspect will a PP e , ar
in the Globe save that which will be found 111
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 hue. 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.

Dr. XV. XV. Marshall,
11/OULD respectfully inform all persons af-
TT flirted with Cancer, Fistula, Wens, and
all ulcers and tumors, originating from whatso
evercause, that he is permanently located in
the city of Alacon, where he may be found
both summer and u inter. Dr. Al. would guard
the public against false reports, viz : that he
had removed from Gporgiu—that he was dead,
or deranged in mind. 1 1 also appears that tome
itinerant and other doctors, are making, or try
ing to make, the false impression that they
treated diseases precisely as Dr. Al. does, there
by misrepresenting him, and deceiving their
patients, some of whom, of late, have been
wofully imposed upon, and have been obliged
to visit Dr. Al. at. last. Dr. Al. deems it only
necessary to add, that hisformer and continues
success in the management of these diseases, is
conclusive evidence of the superiority of his
practice over all others known in this, or and
other country. For the correctness of this as
sertion lie refers to his pamphlet on Cancer,
&c., which may bo obtaim and gratis, by appli
cation to him by letter (post paid) or otherwise.
For the further encouragement of the afflicted
Dr. Al. would just add, that on their arrival at
Macon, they will have the meat 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 continunWy
under treatment from various parts of tht Union,
in every stage and variety of the complaints.—
The treatment is without the use of the knife,
or caustic, and is both constitutional and local
