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, ! J. W. GLEftN. The Rev. J. W. Glenn is favorably known to the public as a Methodist minister in the Georgia Con ference.

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. Adv. 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. 111. The Silent Comforter.

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.
