FISTULA IN ANO, CUBED WITHOUT THE KNIFE! DR. W. W. MARSHALL, of Macon, Georgia, would call the attention of the public to a num ber of certificates published, and which he will con tinue 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 fre quently unsuccessful. More than one half of the cases that have come under his care of late, have been subjected to the knife without experiencing the least benefit, but rather made worse. They were perfectly cured by Dr. M., without tho use of the knife, or any such operation, without tho least danger, and with but little or no pain. In most cases, the treatment does not prevent the ordinary pursuits of business, al though the patient is necessarily obliged to be under tho immediate care and supervision of the Doctor from one to four weeks, accordingly as the nature and circumstances of the ca*e may demand. Dr. M. does not exaggerate, when he says that the plan of treatment ho pursues is obliged to suc ceed in ninety-nine cases out of one hundred, if not in every case, and will guarantee and warrant a cure in every case of Fistuhi. For further information, Dr. M. refers to his pamphlet, which contains a considerable accumula tion of evidence in favor of the utility of his practice in cases of Fistula. All letters, post-paid, will be immediately attend ed to. Reference to the following persons, who have been cured of late. Their residence and Post-office is given, that they may be written to on the subject of the cures: Cornelius M Sharp, Due West Corner, Abbeville District, S. C. Edwin Tarpley, Irwinton, Wilkinson county, Ga. Walter Wadsworth, Decatur, DeKalb co., Ga. Rev. N. A. Cravens, Ala., Methodist Conference. Rev. Mr. Godfrey, Savannah, Ga. Due West Corner, ) Abbeville District, S C., July 13, ’4B. £ Dr. W. W. Marshall : —Dear Sir, —Believing, as I do, that you have effectually cured me of the Fistula, an exceedingly stubborn, painful, and dan gerous disease, I take pleasure in contributing 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 disease for more than two years. Three or four physicians, combining the talent of the State, were employed for my relief, but their united efforts were unsuccess ful. My health grew worse and worse —I became debilitated in body and mind, and iny friends enter tained fearful apprehensions of my non-recovery. Casually looking over a paperpublished in Charles ton, S. C., my attention was arrested bv a notice of the signal professional services of Dr. W. W. Mar shall, of effecting a cure in cases of Fistula, &c. The card purported to oifect a cure without the use of knife or caustic. I must say my faith was weak, but I resolved to give him a trial. I placed myself under his care and treatrn nt. He has effected a perfect euro; my whole frame is invigorated; he lias infused new life into my hitherto dead body ; I have experienced a resurrection from the dead, and all the energizing and renovating effects of anew creation. lam in very deed a now man. My bet ter convictions are that you have saved mo from an untimely death, which the use of the knife or caus tic could not have prevented, but hastened. Yours, respectfully, CORNELIUS M. SHARP.

JAMES CONNER & SON, Corner of Ann and Nassau-sts , N. Y. PROFESSOR MANDEVILLE’S EMADII® BOOKS, D. Appleton If Cos., 200 Broadway , N. Y., PUBLISH : I. A COURSE OF READING For Common Schools and Academies, on the plan of the Author's ‘ Elements of Reading and Ora tory. ’ By H. MANDE VILLE. Professor of Moral Science and Belles Lettres in Hamilton College, N. Y. One neat Volume, 12mo. Price 75 cents. This work is divided into three parts. The first relates to Grammar; it cont ains a description of the different letters of the alphabet and their various sounds, of syllables, and also of words as parts of speech. The second part contains a classification and description of all the sentences or formulas of thought in every degree of expansion, to be found in the English language. Part the third contains a series of exercises on paragraphs: the sentences not detached and classified as in part second, but appear ing in the connections and relations of ordinary dis courses. 11. AN INTRODUCTION TO THE AUTHOR’S “ Course of Reading,” and “Elementary Reading and Oratory.” By H. MANDEVILLE , D. D., Professor of Moral Science and Belles Lettres, in Hamilton College. (7n two parts.) Part 1, price 38 cents: Part 2, price 50 cents. This work may be used independently ; but teach ers will derive much advantage from its use in con nection with the “ Course of Reading,” in which the Author’s theory and practice of elocution is fully de veloped. • PROF. MANDEVILIE’S READING BOOKS Are distinguished by the following peculiarities, which, it is believed, will favorably recommend them to the attention of parents and teachers : 1. The exercises at the beginning of Part I. of the Introduction, adapted as they are to the under standings and vocal powers of the young, enable the teacher not merely to illustrate the different move ments of the voice in good reading, but to drill his pupils to the proper expression of them; and, as these movements are, as will be observed on exami nation, connected with obvious peculiarities of sen tential structure, easily remembered, preparation is thus made to read intelligently the lessons which follow. 2. All these books contain a studied variety of sentential structure—calling every moment for a corresponding variety of intonation. Most reading- j books, in consequence of a prevailing narrative or I didactic style in their lessons, cause the monotony j which they should cure. By introducing as large a i share of the colloquial and dramatic into the present series as was deemed compatible with a complete exhibition of all the styles, the author has endea vored to force the pupil into the use of variety of tone. 3. The punctuation in these books conforms in the main to the sense and the proper delivery of every sentence, and is a guide to both. When a depar ture from the proper punctuation occurs, the proper j delivery is indicated. [Sec “Hints to Teachers,” , at the beginning of the Introduction, Part LJ As reading-books are usually punctuated, it is a matter | of surprise that children should learn to read at all. 4. Each book apart, and the series as a whole are progressive—not nominally, but really progressive ; j that is, beginning in Part I. of the* Introduction, ! with the easiest reading in the language, the lessons ! continue to task the powers of the pupil more and j more to the end. Part 11. advances in the same manner from less to more difficult; and, having I thoroughly mastered this, the pupil is introduced to 1 (he “Course of Reading;” where he commences the ! study of the simple grammatical principles, so far as I a knowledge of them is essential to reading, and al- ! so of the analysis of sentential structure, on which i all good reading depends. When he has exhausted i the “Course of Reading,” the “Elements of Read- ! ing and Oratory ’ awaits him ; in which he enters on the study of punctuation, modulation including the nature and law’s of emphasis, and particular rules for the delivery of every sentence in the lan guage. 5. In the opinion of competent judges, these books are not less an aid to grammar and composition, than to reading. Reference is here more particu larly made to tho “Course of Reading,” and the “ Elements of Reading and Oratory;” and to those portions of these works in which the sentences, em ployed in the English language, are classified and described, and copious examples of them adduced in every degree of expansion. [See commendatory let ters from various sources.] 6. While the author has been at great pains to introduce as largo an amount of useful and innocent ly amusing knowledge into his books, as his limits would permit, he has uniformly been earnestly in tent on making the whole subservient to sound mo rality and religion—purity, patriotism and piety.
