William Armstrong, of the said rity, being duly

Druggist and Chemist. That some time in the latter
part of May, or first of June. 1848, a man by the name
of Jacob Townsend, who at that time was a book and
pamphlet peddler, called u)>on deponent, at the house
of Mr. Thompson. No 42 Hudson-street, where depo
nent boarded, end requested deponent to write him a
Aecipe by which to make a Syrup of Sarsaparilla.
Deponent further says, that lie became acquainted
writh said Townsend at the office of Theodore Foster,
Ksq., Book Publisher, with whom said Townsend
dealt That said Townsend had had frequent conversa
tions with dejionent iesj>ecting the manufacture of an
article of Sarsaparilla to be sold under the name of Dr
Jacob Tow nsend.
That said Townsend stated he was an old man, nnd
poor, amd 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 money was made by
it, he could see no reason why lie might not make
something out of it too, (his name being Townsend,)
>f he could get a capable person to prepare a recipe,
and manufacture it lor him. Deponent in one of the
conversations asked said Townsend if he was related
to Dr. 8. P. Townsend, to which he replied, that he
knew’ Dr. 8. P. Townsend would be down on him after
he should commence. But that he did not care for
him. as he had formed a co-partnership with men who
could furnish the requisite amount of capital—and was
w r ell prepared to defend himself against any attack
that might be made on him.
Deponent further says, that pursuant to the request
of said Jacob Townsend, he wrote a recipe for the
manufacture of a S\ nip of Sarsaparilla, and gave it to
him. Said Townsend observed that lie wanted to
make a specimen to exhibit to his partners lor their
approval, as he wished to gratify them in every thing,
as they furnished all the capital—said Townsend also
fold deponent that the bottles they were to use were
to be of the same size and shape'as Dr. S. P Town

Thera pvohnblj never line been unpopular a reme.lv,

the partnership was 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, and is conducted by the junior
partner, Mr. Clapp—here all the medicine is manufac
tured.
Few of our 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 Eu
rope, in considerable quantities. At the manufactory
they employ a steam engine, besides a large number
of men, women anil girls, in the preparation of the
medicine, ranking boxes, printing, kc , and turn out,
ready for shipment, over 400 dozen per day, or near!)
6000 bottles. This is on enormous qunntitv

THE ORIGIN AI. DISCOVERER OF THE
(icmiiup Townsend Sarsaparilla.
Old Dr. Tow nsend is now about 70 years of age. and has
long been known as the AUTHOR and DtSCOV ERF.R
of the GEXUIXE ORIGIXAL ” TOIVXSEXD SAR
SAPAU! t./.A Being poor, he was com pel led to limit its
J maniifiirtNre, by which means it has been kept out of mar
ket, and the Miles 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 sure diseases, and saved from death, pro
claimed its excellence and wonderful
HEALING POWER.
Knowing, warty years ago. that he had. by his skill,
science and cvjierieiice, devised an article which would lie
of incalculable advantage to mankind when the means
would be furnished to bring it into universal notice, w hen
its inestimable virtues would be know’n and appreciated.
This time has come, the means are supplied : this
GHAXI) AX/J (AY F.UALLEI) Tit EPAIIATIOX
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 8. I* Townsend’s, it improves with age. and
never changes, but for the better: because it is prepared <m
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, ami some properties which are inert or useless, and
others, which if retained in preparing it for use, produce
fermentation and acid, w hich is injurious to the system.
Some of the properties of Sarsaparilla are so volatile, that
they entirely evaporate and are lost in .he preparation, if
they are not preserved by a scientific process, known only
to those - xperienced in its manufacture. Moreover, these
volatile principles , which fly oIT in vapor, or as an exhala
tion. under heat, arc the very essential rncuical properties
of the riHit. w hich give to it all its value.
Any person can boil or stew the root till they get a dark
eoiored liquid, which is more from the coloring matter tn
the root than from any thing else; they can then strain
this Insipid or vapid liquid, sweeten with sour molasses,
•nd then call it “SARSAPARILLA EXTRACT or SY
RITP.” But such is not the article known as the
GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND'S
SARSAPARILLA.
This is so prepared, that all the inert properties of the
Sarsaparilla root are first removed, everything capable of
becoming acid or of fermentation, is extracted anil rejected ;
then every particle of medical virtue is secured in a pure
ami concentrated form ; and thus it is rendereil incapable of
losing any id’its valuable and healing properties. Prepared
in this way, it is made the most powerful agent in the
Cure ot innumerable diseases.
Hence the reason why we hear commendations on every
side In its favor by men. women, und children, \Ye find it
doing wonders in the cure of

DR. W. VV. MARSHALL, of Macon, Ga.,
would call the attention of the Public to a
number of certificates published, and which be
will continue to publish in various papers in the
State, of cases of Fistula cured by him. In the
treatment ofFistula, recourse is generally bad
to the knife, which is always painful and often
hazardous and very frequently unsuccessful.
.More than one half of the eases that have
come under liis 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
j obliged to be under the immediate care and su
i pervision of the Doctor from one to four weeks,
! accordingly as the nature and circumstances ol
case may demand.
Dr. M. does not exaggerate, when lie 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 ofFistula.
Savannah, March 15, 1849.
This is to certify that for near fifteen years I
j was afflicted with that dreadful disease Fistula,
I 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, and was informed by all <>t them,
the disease was incuratile save by the knife of the
surgeon. Learning the operation was not only
very painful but dangerous and not always suc
cessful, 1 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, ordic. 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 bedid cure the disease,l determined
to place myself under his treatment, and be com
menced to treat my ease. I remained there
four weeks and returned home nearly well, and
1 am happy now to say entirely restored. I would
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, 1 was at no time confined
to the bed more than one day, and to the house
but 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
cascsof 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 1 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
cliristain. J -XS. E. GODI- REX .

Trwinton, March 20, 1843.
Dear Sir— ln compliance with your request,
I send you a certificate ofthe 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 ho grateful for votir
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
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
j 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,
I without knowing with what disease I was af
flicted, until Dr. William Fisher, of Irwinton,
was called in, and pronounced the disease to he
Fistula in ano.
1 then asked the Doctor if he thought he could
cure me?—lie answered lie 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 tlie case, and
continued to do so for seven weeks, without any
material benefit, and then adv ised me to go to
J Macon and place myself under your control, as
he knew you from character, to he a gentleman
lof intelligence, piety and experience. I accord
ingly went to Macon and placed myself under
i your control, and in a shorter time than I ex-
I pectcd, found myself greatly bent-fitted by your
| treatment.
1 have now entirely recovered my long lost
i health, and can say with propriety, that 1 enjoy
better health than I have for five years previous.
! I often on inquiry bear from you, and rejoice to

W. Mil.'s of 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 lute in the day for men to
school themselves into the repression of their
convictions :
Quincy, Florida, April lOtli, 1849.
Dr. M. 8. Thomson— Dear Sir .- Willi inex
pressible gratitude, I drop you these lines. Since
1 received your Medicines, and commenced fol
lowing your prescription, my health is so im
proved that 1 do not now feel tho least symptoms
of disease, rnv morbid appetite I est me on the
commencement of taking your medicines: every
thing I cat now agrees with me, and I am satis
fied wit) a common meal.
My Si'lken was very much enlarged, and mv
kidneys failed todo their office when 1 lastwrote
you, hut these are now corrected
The miserable restlessness that was my lot of
nights, has left me, and 1 now sleep sweetly ;
indeed my whole system 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 me at tiie 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, ns I once
did, and the same zeal that once burned in my
heart for the Church has been kindled afresh,
with tny mind freed from that gloom, inactivity
ntu\ forgetfulness, which disease had engendered,
and I yet hope to live long to preach the un3
searchable riches of Christ. I have yet some
medicines left, &.e. I am, dear sir, yours grate
fully, JOHN W. MILLS.
l’ersons desirous of testing the efficacy ofthese
remedies in their own cases, no matter ivhcrc
they reside, can do so very com enientl v by send
ing their age and symptoms in writing as correct
ly as possible, when medicines to suit their va
rious cases will be compounded and sent by- mail,
express or private hand. In order that all
tuny partake of the benefits resulting from the
use of liis remedies, his charge for the treatment
ofsucli cases as do not require his personal atten
tion, will be only Five Dollars a month, which
may he sent by mail at liis risk.
Acute cases, and those requiring personal at
tention, will he charged in accordance with the
established rates of other city Physicians.
The inconvenience of having little sums scat
tered ail over the country has induced hi m for
the future to have liis terms rash, or when that
is varied from, it must he with the express prom
ise ofhonorable payment at Christmas, without
sujjGcting him to the trouble r»i»u ex|>ense *»!*« u!-

) EXTRAORDINARY CASK OF ASTHMA.
Bloustsvili.e, Jones County, Ca., )
August 7th, 1840. 5
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 atHicted as I have been, and being
desirous of adding my testimony in favor of your
system of practice and skill in curing disease, 1
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 Aslli
ma T which continued to return at intervals, more
or less frequent, for two years. I applied to
some of the most eminent mineral physicians in
the State of Mississippi, where 1 resided, but
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, 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 minute seemed as if it
were to, be the last ;. indeed, 1 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 of the
Allopathic practitioners, like a drowning man
catching atstraws,! resolved to employ a Homoe
opathic Doctor, who for a time, treated my case;
hut 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 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 ; my general health also
improved, until now, lam proud to say, that
through your instrumennality, 1 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.
Bince 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 be found, but resort at once to the means
that have so happily, and in such a limited peri
od restored me to health.
\Y ilh abounding feelings of grntitude, respect
and esteem, I remain vours sincerely,
CYRUS L. IIOLMES.

Thc time is full of interest. The comin. s

the proceedings of the next Congress Th
proacliing Session will probably continue till iT
in thei summer of 1850. The debates from u

son to hope that an advance will he made in tl, c
accomplishment ot this undertaking comrncnsa
rate with its increased importance. But these
cumulation of expense consequent on the addj.
tional number of Reporters required—the t3 | r ,
charges incurred in printing at night the debates
of the preceding day—the vast addition made lo
the mass published, by the protracted sessions
and the fuller reports given, -will render oor
enterprise a failure, unless Congress shall solar
patronize it as to become a purchaser of such
portion ol the daily sheets issued,as shall contri
liuto to make the reports that fill them. The
undersigned lias ventured on the preparation ! IC
has made lor the next Session, in the expectation
that Congress will subscribe for ns many daily
sheets for each Member, at the subscription price
is will, in part, defray the expense of reporting,
and give them circulation as Congressional dorn
ments in their several districts. ' This will ena
ble the l ui,usher to hear the charge of reporting
and it will give an impulse to t|„ ; circulation of
'he Congressional Rrint, which, although the
cheapest in the I nion (the expense of prepara
tion considered) will yet yield sufficient profit tu
make the system permanent.
John ( Rives having purchased the interest
of l-. I . Blair in Jackson Hall—the priming
office machinery and material—becomes the sols
proprietor thereof, and will give his exclusive
attention to the Congressional Department.
J. C. 1 ickett will conduct the Miscellaneous
Department of the Newspaper. F. F. II la in
retires from both concerns, with prayers for their
permanent usefulness and prosperity.
I lie Globe will he published daily duringtiic
session of Congress, and Weekly the remainder
ol the year, and will undergo distribution in the
form ofa \\ cekly Globe, a Congressional Globe
and an Appendix.
1 lie VV cekly Globe will contain Agrrodftnr.il
and miscellaneous articles ; and Will oecasion
-i I ly gi v e debates of such i tu port a lice as couitnattd
universal interest.
I lie price of the VV cekly Globe is reduced to
One Dollar, with a view to obtain a more gene*
ral circulation. Subscribers who have hitherto
paid $2 per annum, will he charged only $1 af
ter the expiration of the first year.
1 lie Congressional Globe will embody', as if
litis done lor the hist sixteen years, Congrcssiiut-'
til piocecdings and debates exclusively.
I he Appendix will embrace the revis«tl
speeches separately, and the messages of the
President ofthe United States, and the reports
ofthe Heads ofthe Executive Departments.
The Congressional Globe and Appendix will
ho published as fast as the proceedings of Cob-'
gross will make a number Subscribers may ex
pect one number of each a week during tbofost
lour weeks of a session, and two or three num
bers ot each a week afterwards, until the end of
the session. E,ch volume will probably com
prise two thousand royal quarto pages, of small
type.
Complete Indexes to the Congressional'Gh’lic

after Congress adjourns.
Nothing ofa political party aspect will
