Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, having on It the Old Dr's, likeness, his ftuiiiy coat of anus, and hit signature across the coat of arms. Principal Ojficc, 102 Bissau st., Xcw York City. OLD DK. JACOB TOWNSEND, THE ORIGINAL DISCOVERER OF TIIE Genuine Townsend Sarsaparilla. Old l)r. Townsend i» now about 70 years of ace. and has long been known ns the AUTHOR nnd DISCOVERER of the GEXUIXF OIUGIXAL “ TOWXSEXI) SAR 6AVARI LL.‘ f.’’ Heins po«»r. he was com jelled to limit its iimnuftctare, 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 its excellence and wonderful HEALING POWER. Knowing, many year* ago. that he had. by his skill, •clenre and experience, devised an article which would lie of incalculable advantage to mankind when the means would lie furnished to bring it into universal notice, when Its inestimable virtues would be known and appreciated. This time has come, the means are supplied ; this G RAXI) AXI) l XF.Q UA t.LEI) PREPARATION Is manufactured on the largest scale, and is called for throughout the length and breadth of the land, especially ss it is found incapable of degeneration or deterioration. Unlike young 8. I* Townsend’s, it improves with age. and never changes, but for the better : because it is prepared on sctmf/Jic 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 IV’s Sarsaparilla, 'i hc Sarsaparilla root, it is well known to iwmUcdl 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, \\ hirh is injurious to the system. Some of the projierties of Sarsaparilla are so volatile, that they entirely evaporate and are lost in the preparation, if Ihey-nre not preserved by a scientific process, known only to those experienced in its manufacture. Moreover, these volatile principles, which fly off in vapor, or as an exhala tmn. 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* mlored liquid, which is mure 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, •nd then call it “ SARSA PA HILDA EXTRACT or SY- Rl’P.” Rut such is not the article know nas the GENUINE OLD 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 and concentrated form ; and thus it is rendered incapable of taring any of its valuable and healing properties. Prepared In this way, it is made the most powerful agent in the Cure of innumerable diseases. Hence the reason why we hear commendations on every tide In its favor by men. women, nnd children. \Ye find it doing wonders in the cure of COXSUMPTIOX, DYSPEPSIA , and LITER COM P LA I XT, ami in RHEUMATISM, SCROFULA. PILES, COSYIVEXESS, all ( UTAXEOUS ERUP TICXS, PIMPLES, BLOC’VUES, und all alleclions 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 of the heart, cold feet and hands, cold chills and hot flashes over the body. It has not its equal in Colds and Coughs ; and promotes easy expectoration and gentle perspiration, relaxing stricture of the lungs, throat, and every other part. Rut in nothing is its excellence more manifestly seen and acknowledged than in all kinds and stages of FEMALE COMPLAINTS. It work* wonders in cases of F.uor A/bus or Whites, Fall ing oj the Womb, Obstructed, Suppressed, or Painful Menses, Irregularity of the menstrual periods, and the*like; and Is as effectual in curing all the forms of Kidney Disease s. By removing obstructions, nnd rcgul&ting*the general system, it gives tone and strength to the whole body, and thus cures all forms of Nervous diseases and debility, and thus prevents or relieves a great variety of other mala dies, as Spinal irritation, Xsuralgia, St. Titus' Dance Swooning, Epileptic Fils, Convulsion*, &cc. 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, purifies the skin, equalises the circulation of the blood, producing gentle warmth equally all over the body, and the insensible perspiration ; relaxes all strictures and tight uess, removes all obstructions, and invigorates the entire nervous system. Is not this then The medicine you pre-eminently need I But ttaa any of these things be said of 8. P. Townsend’s lulcrior article ? This voting man’s liquid is not to be COMPARED WITH THE OLD DR’S, because of one GRAND FACT, that the one is INCA PA BLt of DJSTERIORATK >N, and NEVER SPOILS, while the other DOES ; souring, fermenting, and blotting the bottles containing it into fragments ; the sour, acid liquid exploding, and damaging other goods ! Must not this horri ble compound lie poisonous to the system ? What! put ccid into a system already diseased with acid! What causes Dys{>epsia but acid ? Do we not all know that when food sours in our stomachs, what mischief* it produces ? flatu lence, heartburn, palpitation of the heart* liver complaint, diarrhoea, dysentery, colic, and corruption of the blood? What is Scrofula but an acid humor in the body ? What produces all the humors which bring on Eruptions of the Bkin, Bcald Head, Salt Rheum, Erysipelas, VVhite 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 .ess. What causes Rheumatism but a sour or acid fluid w hich insinuates itself between the joints and elsewhere, irritating and inflaming the delicate tissues upon which it acts'? So of nervous diseases, of impurity of the blood, ot deranged circulations, and nearly all the ailments which afflict human nature. Now is it not horrible to make and sell, and infinitely morse to use Hus auUtiMG. FERMENTING, ACID “COM POUND” OF S. P. TOWNSEND, tnd yet hr wouiu finn have it understood that Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Genuine Original Sarsaparilla, is an EMIT A TION of his inferior preparation!! • Heaven forbid that we should deal in an article which wosrtd bear the most distant resemblance to 8. P. Town send’s article! and which should bring down upon the Old Dr. such a mountain load of complaints nnd criminations from Agents who have sold, and purchasers who have used 8. P. Townsend’s FERMENTING COMPOUND. We wish it understood, because it is the absolute truth, Hint 8. P. Townsend’s article and Old Dr. Jacob Town send's Sarsaparilla are hearen-tcide apart, and infinitely dis similar ; that they are unlike in every particular, having uot one single thing in rotr.rr.r'n. As 8. P. Townsend is no doctor, and never was, is no ehefrrist, tto pharmaceutist—knows no more of medicine or disease than any other common, unscientific, unprofessional in in. what guarantee can the public have that they are re ceiving a genuine scientific medicine, containing all the virtues of the articles used in preparing it. and which are in capable of changes which might render them the AGENTS es IMsense instead of health. Hut what else should he expected from one who known nothing comparatively of medicine or disease ! It requires a j*erson of some experience to cook and serve up even a common decent meal. How much more important is it that the persons who manufacture medicine, designed for WEAK STOMACHS AND ENFEEBLED SYSTEMS, should know well the medical properties of plants, the host manner of securing and concentrating their healing virtues, aUo an extensive knowledge of the various diseases " hich affect the human system, and how to adapt remedies fcj the.-e diseases! It is to arrest frauds upoa the unfortunate, to pour halm into wonnded humanity, to kindle hope in the despairing bosom, to restore health and bloom, and vigor into the rsuahed and broken, and to banish infirmity that OLD DR JACOB TOWNSKNft-has SOUGHT and FOUND the op' Jfortunity und means to bring his Giaud Universal Concentrated iieiuedy wilhin the reach, and u> ihe knowledge of nil who need it, thin they tony le.irn nnd know, by joyful ei|>erience. its Transcendent Power to Ileal.

Cherry .Street. Fistula in Ano cured without the use of the Knife. DU. \V. 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 Fistula cured by him. 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, hut rather made worse. They were perfectly cured bv 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 docs 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 ot the ease 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 u hundred, if not in every case of Fistula. Savannah, March 15, 1849. Tiiis is to certify that for near fifteen 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, ami was informed by all of them, the disease was incurable save by the knife of the surgeon. Learning tiie operation was not only very painful hut dangerous and not always suc cessful, f was very mush opposed to submit to it, and allowed the disease to progress so far as to present the alternative to submit to be operated upon, ordie. At this time I saw Dr. Marshall s card in the Christian Advocate, and communi cated with him on the subject, and alter being satisfied that lie did cure the disease, I determined to place myself under his treatment, and he com menced to treat my case. 1 remained there four weeks and returned home nearly well, anti I atn happy now to say entirely restored. 1 would no doubt have been entirely well much sooner, hut 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, 1 was at no time confined to the bed more than one day, and to the house blit a very short time, lie used no knife, (und 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 I 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 l doubt not their most sanguine expectations will he realized. It gives me great pleasure to say that in all my intercourse with Dr. Marshall, I found him the perfect gentleman, and an intelligent, devoted christuin. J AS. E. GODF REV . ffj'Rev- Jas. E. Godfrey is known to the public as a local Methodist Minister, and is engaged in merchandizing in Savannah, where he may be addressed on the subject. W. VV. M. Due West Corner, ) Abbeville District, S. C., July 13, 1848. J Dr. \Y r . W. Marshall —Dear Sir—Believing as 1 do, that you have effectually cured me of the Fistula, an exceedingly stubborn, painful and dangerous disease, I take pleasure in contri buting my inite for the purpose of relieving the sufferings of those who tnay 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 ot the State, were employed for my relief, but their united ef forts were unsuccessful. My health grew worse and worse —I bepame debilitated in body und mind, and iny friends entertained fearful appre hensions of my recovery. Casually looking over a paper published in Charleston, S. C., my attention was arrested by a notice ofthe 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 1 resolved to give him a trial. I placed myself under his care and treatment, lie has effected a perfect cure— my whole frame is invigorated—he has infused new life into my hitherto dead body—l have ex perienced a resurrection from the dead, and aii the energizing and renovating effects ot 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 SI. SHARP. Irwin i on, March 29, 1848. Dear Sir —ln compliance with your request, I send you a certificate of the cure which you so soon performed on me,of that dreadful disease i Fistula, and I think there is no person living, who has greater reason to ho grateful for your kindness than myself, in being cured of that dreadful disease, which all who saw me, believ ed if not checked, would in a short time, termin i ate my mortal existence. Sometime in the j month of April, 1846, a small hard tumor made I its appearance near the verge of the arms, which I in a short time became soft, and discharged at ! times a considerable portion of oifensive matter, | during which time I began to decline, and con ‘ tinned to declfne until some time in the month j of March, 1847, when I was confined to tnybed, j without knowing with what disease I was af j Aided, until Dr. William Fisher, of Irwinton, was called in,and pronounced the disease to he Fistula in ano. I then asked the Doctor if he thought he could | cure me?—he answered ho thought he could, but that 1 must expect to suffer a long time be | fore he could perform a permanent cure. The i Doctor then commenced treating the case, and continued to do so forseven weeks, without any | materia! benefit, and then advised me to so to ! Macon and place myself under your control, as ; 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 I 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 my gratitude to you in person. With duo respect, I am sir, your obliged and humble servant, EDYY’IN TARI’LEY. Dr. Marshall.

Thomson —Dear Sir —Doing 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 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, 1 was attacked with Jsfli mn, which continued to return at intervals, more or less frequent, for two years. I applied to some of the most eminent mineral physicians iu the State of Mississippi, where I resided, but' without benefit—for I continued to get worse— 1 so much so, that from Ist September, 1847, l! had an attack every night, with only live excep tions, till February, 184!). 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 tninutc seemed as if it' were to be the last ; indeed, I have been for ten 1 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 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. You there saw, with many others, my condition, which for 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 the repeated attacks of my fell tor mentor ; but it was not long before 1 commen ced improving. Atfirst,l would miss one night, then two, then more ; my 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 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 ali weathers, without Iming attacked, whh'h foilV justifies and warrants me in makine tni- st ter o.t, requesting its tiou, trusting that others similar!* situu id, may be admonished to cease looking fora cure where it cannot he found, hgl resort ut once to the means that have so happily . and in such a limited peri od restore.! .. . to health and esteem, I remain yours sineerelv ' CYRUS 1. ‘holmes ID fill Terms, Ate., see advertisement in another column. • IIIE GLOBE: .1 Congressional, Agricultural and Literary Newspaper. cgAHE Editors ofthe Congressional Globe pro i_ pose anew publication. To deserve the patronage which Congress has accorded to their reports ofita 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 tho daily print. To fill tho sheet of the daily newspaper, it is designed to gather the news from all quar ters, and complete the contents by drayving 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, i.t is hoped, advan tageously used. Original essays, especially on topics connected with agriculture, will he obtain ed from the most enlightened and practical men of our country. The Globe, as n neyvspaper, 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 lowed to say a few words of him. lie is a gen tleman favorable known to the Government, for talent and judgment which distinguished his di plomatic service while connected yyith 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 of Congress, and YVeekly the balance of the year,and will undergo distribution in the form of a YVeekly Globe, a Congressional Globe and an Appendix. The YVeekly Globe will be the vehicle ofthe 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 pineeedings and debates exclusively. The Appendix will embrace the revised speeches separately, and the messages of the President of the United States, and the reports of the Heads ofthe Executive Departments. The Congressional Globe and Appendix will be published as fast as the proceedings ot Con gress will make a number. Subscribers may ex pect one number of each a week during the first four weeks of a session, nnd two or three num bers of each a week afterwards, until the end of the session. Nothing of a political party aspect will appear in the Globe save that which will be found in the Congressiohal reports. A paper assuming to be an impnitial 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 i in poses. TERMS: For one ropy ofthe Ditilij Globe (daily during the session of Congress, and Weekly during tint recess,) a year, : : $5 00 For one copy ofthe 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 of t lie 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 ordering them, unless the subscription price accompanies the order.
