NOTICE! J£3}
DR. W. W. MARSHALL would respectfully in
form all persons afflicted with Cancer, Fistula,
Wens, and all ulcers and tumors, originating from
whatsoever cause, that he is permanently located in
the city of Macon, where he may be found both sum
mer and winter. Dr. M. would guard the public a
gainst false reports, viz: that he had removed from
Georgia—that he was dead, or deranged in mind.
It also appears that some itinerant and other Doc
tors, are making, or trying to make, the false im
pression that they treat diseases precisely as Dr. M.
does, thereby misrepresenting him, and deceiving
their patients, some of whom, of late, have been
wofully imposed upon, and have been obliged to
visit Dr M. at last. Dr. M. deems it only necessa
ry to add, that his former and continued success in
the management of these diseases, is conclusive evi
dence of the superiority of his practice over all oth
ers known, iu this, or any other country. For the
correction of this assertion he refers to his pamplet
on Cancer, &c , which may, he obtained gratis, by
application to him by letter (post paid) or other
wise. For the further encouragement of the afflicted
Dr. M- would just add, that, on their arrival at
Macon, they will have the most abundant testimo
ny in favor of the utility of the treatment, by hav
ing aceess to those who have been made whole, and
also, to those who are continually under treatment,
(from various part3 of the Union.) in every stage
and variety of the complaints. The treatment is
without the uso of the knife, or caustic, and is both
constitutional and local.
Jefferson, Jackson Cos, Ga, Dec. 26,1848.
Dr. W. W. Marshall. — Dear Sir: Justice to
you and mercy to tho afflicted, prompts me to let the
public know that some four years, since a small tu
mor made its appearance on my upper lip, near the
corner of my mouth, which preesntly became so
troublesome in shaving. Several friends expressed
concern for me, knowing that my mother had died
of a Cancer on the breast —and that my appearance
indicated a predisposition towards cancerous affec
tions. But I felt hut little apprehension until the
present year, although its size had considerably in
creased. The first of the year the Rev. Samuel
Anthony expressed great fear that it was a Cancer,
and told me that from personal knowledge of your
skill in such diseases, he was sure you could cure
me. But several physicians had cautioned me to be
careful not to irritate it, or let any one do anything
to it least they should make something serious of it.
By tho latter part of April it had a threatning ap
pearance, and I had to attend the general conference
of the M. E. Churoh South, at Petersburg Va. and
:rs you are a citizen of Richmond Va. I determined
to see you when you came on to the Madison Springs,
Deo. In August last, I started for the Springs. On
my way thither a very eminent physician examined
it and told me it threatened to be a very bad plaoe,
and kindly offered to cut it out for me, assuring me
that I would suffer less from the knife than any oth
er method of curing it. But I had known many
taken out with the knife and soon rs-appear. 1
therefore thought it best to decline, although warn
ed that an unsightly scar would mark my face. But
I am happy to say that in about fifteen days you
was successful in removing it and in less than two
weeks thereafter, the place had entirely healed leav
ing so small a scar, as scarcely to be noticed without
close examination.
1 would therefore advise all who are afflicted with j
Cancer in its various character, to call and see you, j
for I consider your treatment belter and far more 1
successful than any I have ever known, and I feel ;
confident iu stating you will not undertake witnout 1
good hope of success.
With sentiments of high regard, 1 am yours, !

MW WOEIESo
I. The Church in Earnest. By John Angell
James.
Contents. —1. The design to he accomplished by
the Church as regards the present world. 2. Re
marks on the Epistles to the seven churches in Asia,
tending to illustrate the earnestness in religion. 3.
Nature of Earnestness, viewed with reference to in

ligion. 4. Earnestness in the way of individual ex
ertion and direct action for the salvation of souls.
5. Christian earnestness in family religion. 6. The

the diligence of Christians considered as churcli
inembers. 7. The causes that operate to repress

NOTICES OF THE PRESS.
We rejoice that this work has been republished in
this country, and we cannot too strongly commend
it to the serious perusal of the churches of every
name. — Ch. Alliance
Its arguments and appeals are well adapted to
rouse to action, and the times call for such a book,
which we trust will be universally read. — N. Y. Ob
server.
This is eminently a timely production, from an
author who is already a great favorite with the pub
lic. — JV. E. Puritan.
Avery seasonable publication. The church uni
versal needs a re-awakening to its high vocation,
and this is a book to effect, so far as human intellect
can, the much desired resuscitation. — N Y. Com.

11. Modern French Literature. By L. Ray
mond De Vericour, formerly Lecturer in the Royal
Athenaeum of Paris, Member of the Institution of
France, &c. Revised with notes, relating principal
ly to authors prominent in the late Revolution at
Paris, by Wm. S. Chase. With a fine portrait of
Lamartine.
This 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 in 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 he traced in the writings
of authors equally conspicuous as scholars and as
statesmen. Mr. Chase, who has been the 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 the highest commendation. Mr. Chase is
well qualified to introduce the work to the public.
The hook 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 an index revealing its
political course and tendencies, as well as a develop
ment of national mind and character.” — Phil. Ch.
Observer.

for the Sick Room. By Louisa Payson Hopkins.

IV. Principles of Zoology. Touching the
Structure, Development, Distribution and Natural
Arrangement of the Paces of Animals, living and
extinct; with numerous Illustrations, For the use
of Schools and Colleges. Parti. Comparative Phys- j
iology. By Louis Agassiz and Augustus A. Gould. |
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 iu the coun
try, and, indeed, some of the topics have not been
touched upon in the language, uuless in a strictly
technical form and in scat tered articles.
Being designed lor 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. The first is devoted to Comparative Physi- i
ology, as the basis of Classification ; the second, to
Systematic Zoology, in which the principles of Clas- !
sification will he applied, and the principal groups of
animals briefly characterized.
A work emanating from so high a source as the I
“ Principles of Zoology,” hardly 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 wind, and popular mode of
illustrating scientific subjects. In the preparation
of this work, lie has had an able coadjutor in Dr. A. 1
A. Gould, a frequent contributor to the Transactions
of the Boston Society of Natural History, and at
present engaged upon the department of Coneholo- |
gy, for the publication of the late exploring expedi
tion. The volume is prepared for the student in
Zoological Science: it is simple and elementary in
it- style, full in its illustration, comprehensive in its ‘
range, yet well condensed, and brought into the 1
narrow compass requisite for the purpose intended.
