t&T NOTICE!
DR. W. W. MARSHALL would respectfully in
form all persons afflicted with Cancer, Fistula,
Wens, and all ulcors and tumors, originating from
whatsoever cause, that ho is permanently located in
the city of Maacon, where ho may be found both sum
mon and winter. Dr. M. would guard the public
against faDe reports, viz: that be bad 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, tho false im
pression that they treat diseases precisely as Dr. M.
does, thereby misrepresenting him, and.deceiving
their patients, somo of whom, of late, have been
wofully imposed upon, and have been obliged to
visit Dr. M. at la t. 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 in this, or any other country.
Jefferson, Jackson Cos, Ga, Dec. 26,1848.
Dr. W. W. Marshall. — Dear Sir: Justice to
you and morcy to tho afflicted, prompts mo to let the
public know that somo four years, since a small tu
mor made its appearanca 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 but 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, ho was sure you coul l 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. Church South, at Petersburg Va. and
as you are a citizen of Richmond Va 1 determined
to sec you when you came on to the Madison Springs,
Geo. In August List, 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 place,
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 re-appear. i
therefore thought it best to decline, although warn
ed that an unsightly scar would murk 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 t hereafter, the placo had entirely healed leav
ing so small a scar, as scarcely to be noticed without
close examination.
I would therefore advise all who are afflicted’with.
Cancer in its various character, to call and see you,
for I consider your treatment better and far more
successful than any I have ever known, and I feel
confident in stating you will not undortake witnout
good hon<* of success.
With sentiments of high regard, I am yours,
J. W. GLENN.

PUBLISH THE FOLLOWING
MEW WOIEKio
I. The Church in Earnest. By John Angell
James.
Contents. —1. The design to be accomplished by
the Church as regards tho 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
dividual action and primarily as regards porsoual re
ligion. 4. Earnestness in tho way of individual ex
ertion and direct action for the salvation of souls.
5. Christian earnestness in family religion. 6. The
activity of churches in their collective capacity, or
the diligence of Christians considered as church
members. 7. The causes that operate to repress
this earnestness of religion. 8. Inducements to ear
nestness. 9. Examples of earnestness. 10. The
means to he used to obtain a high degree of earnest
piety in the churches. 11. Conclusion—tho rnille
nial state of the church.
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 be traced in the writ ings
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.
IV. Principles of Zoology. Touching the
Structure, Development, Distribution and Natural
Arrangement of the Races of Animals, living and
extinct; with numerous Illustrations. For the use
of Schools and Colleges. Parti. Comparative Phys
iology. By Louis Agassiz and Augustus A. Gould,
animals briefly characterized.
A work emanating from so high a source as the
“ 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 mind, and popular mode of
illustrating scientific subjects. In the preparation
of this work, he has had an able coadjutor 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 exploring expedi
tion. The volume is prepared for the student in
Zoological Science; it is simple and elementary in
its style, full in its illustration, comprehensive in its
range, yet well condensed, and brought into the
narrow compass requisite for the purpose intended.—
