11. Modern French Literature. By L. Ray
mond De Vericour, formerly Lecturer in the Royal
Athenaeum of Paris, Member of tho Institution of
France, &e. Revised with notes, relating principal
ly to authors prominent in the late Revolution at
Paris, by Wm. S. Chase. With a fine portrait of
LaA artine.
Th is Treatise has received the highest praise as a
comprehensive and thorough survey of the various
departments of Modern French Literature. It con
tains biographical and critical notes of all the promi
nent names ui Philosophy, Criticism, History, Ro
mance, Poetry, and the Drama ; and presents a full
and impartial consideration of the Political Tenden
cies of France, as they may be traced in the writings
of authors equally conspicuous as scholars and as
statesmen. Mr. Chase, who has been tho Parisian
correspondent of several leading periodicals of this
country, is well qualified, from a prolonged residence
in France, his familiarity with its Literature, and
by a personal acquaintance with many of these au
thors, to introduce the work of De Vericour to the
American public.
“ This is the only complete treatise of the kind on
this subject, either in French or English, and has
received tho highest commendation. Mr. Chase is
well qualified to introduce the work to the public.
The book cannot fail to be both useful and popular.”
—N. Y. Eve. Post.
“ For the scholar, the politician and general read
er, this is a highly interesting and valuable book.
The Literature of France is au index revealing its
po itical course and tendencies, as well as a develop
ment of national mind and character.” — Phil. Ch.
Observer.

Arrangement of the Races of Animals, living and
extinct; with numerous Illustrations. For the use

extracts from the preface.
“ The design of this work is to furnish an epitome
of the leading principles of the science of Zoology,
as deduced from the present state of knowledge, so
illustrated as to be intelligible to the beginning stu
dent. No similar treatise now exists in the coun
try, and, indeed, some of the topics have not been
touched upon in the language, unless in a strictly
technical form and in scattered article l
Being designed for American students, the illus
trations have been drawn, as far as possible, from
American objects Popular names have
been employed as far as possible, and to the scientific
names an English termination has generally been
given. Tho first is devoted to Comparative Physi
ology, as the basis of Classification ; the second, to
Syste mat ic Zoology, in which the principles of Clas
sification will be applied, and the principal groups of
animals briefly characterized.
A work emanating from so high a source as the
“ Principles of Zoology,” har-lly requires commen
dation to give it currency. The public have become
acquainted with the eminent abilities of Prof. Agas
siz, through his Lectures, and are aware of his vast
learning, wide reach of mind, and popular inode of
illustrating scientific subjects. In the preparation
of this work, he has had an able coad utor in Dr. A.
A. Gould, a frequent contributor to the Transactions
of the Boston Society of Natural History, and at
present engaged upon the department of Concholo
gy, for the publication of the late expl ning expedi
tion. The volume is prepared for tho student in
Zoological Science; it is simple and elementary in
its style, full in its illustration, comprehensive in it3
range, yet well condensed, and brought into the
narrow compass requisite for the purpose intended. —

FISTULA IN ANO,
CURED WITHOUT THE KNIFE!
Dli. 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 ia 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 Avithout 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 eases, the treatment does
not prevent the ordinary pursuits of business, al
though the patient is necessarily obliged to be under
the immediate care and supervision 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 ho says that,
the plan of treatment he 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 Fistula.
For further information, Dr. M. refers to bis
pamphlet, which contains a considerable accumula
tion of evidence in favor of the utility of hispractice
in cases of Fistula.
All letters, post-paid, will be immediately attend
ed to.
Reference to the following persons, whohavebeen
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, Duo West Corner, Abbeville
District, S. C.
Edwin Tarplev, Irwinton, Wilkinson county, Ga.
Walter Wadsworth, Decatur, DeKalb co., Ga.
llev. N. A. Cravens, Ala., Methodist Conference.
Rev. Mr. Godfrey, Savannah, Ga.
Due West Corner, >
Abbeville District, S. C., July 13, ’4B. y
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—l became
debilitated in body and mind, and my friends enter
tained fearful apprehensions of my non-recovery.
Casually looking over a paper published in Charles
ton, S. C , my attention was arrested bv a notice of
the signal professional services of Dr. W. W. Mar
shal 1 , of effecting a cure in cases of Fistula, &c.
I he card purported to effect a cure without tho use
of knife or caustic. 1 must say my faith was weak,
rut I resolved to give him a trial. I placed myself
under his care and treatment. lie his effected a
perfect cure; my whole fame is invigorated; he
has infused, new life into iny hitherto dead body; 1
have experienced a resurrection from the dead, and
all the energizing and renovating effects of anew
creation. lam in very deed anew man. My bet
ter com ictions are that you have saved me from an
untimely death, which the use of the knife or caus
tic could not have prevented, but hastened.
Yours, respect!ullv.
