DR. W. W. MAR STI ALL 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 Maacon. where he m xy be found both sum
mer and winter. Dr. M. would guard the public
against false reports, viz: that he bad removed from
Georgia—that be was dead, or deranged in mind.
It also appears that some itinerant ami other Doc
tors. are making, or trying to make, the false im
pression tb it they treat disease* 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 lad. Dr. M. deems it only necessa
ry to add, that his former and continued success iu
the management of these diseases, is conclusive evi
dence of the superiority of his practice ox er a'l oth
ers known in this, or any other country.
Jefferson, Jackson Cos, Ga, Dec. 26, 13*3.
Dr. W. W. Marshall. — Dear Sir: Justice to
you and mercy to the 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 tlie
corner of my mouth, which prcesntly became so
troublesome in shaving. Several friends expressed
concern for me, knowing that my mother had died
of aJGanrer 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 consid ■ rably in
creased. The first of the year the Rev. Samuel
Anthony expressed great fear that it was a C ancer,
and told me that from personal knowledge of your
skill in such diseases, he was sure you could cu v e
me. But several physicians lid cautione lme to be
careful not to irritate it, or let any one do anything
to it least they should make something serious of it.
By the latter part of Ap’il it had a thr Wring ap
pearance, and L had to a f t end the ge ior il conference
of the M. E. Church South, at Petersburg Va. and
as you are a citizen of Richmond Va I determined
to see you when you cameon to the Madison Springs,
Geo. Iu August la-*t, I started for the Springs. On
my way thither a very eminent physician examined
it and told me it*threatened to be a very had place,
and kindly offered to cut it out for me, assuring me
that I would suffer loss from the knife than any oth
er method of curing it. But 1 had known many
taken out with the knife and soon re-appcir. 1
therefore thought it best to decline, although warn
ed that an unsightly scar would mark my sac \ But
I am happy to say that in about, fifteen days you
wa3 successful in removing it and in less than two
weeks thereafter, the place had entirely lie ‘le 11 sav
ing so small a scar, as scarcely to be noticed without
close examination.
1 would therefore advise all who are affii-ted with
Cancer in its various character, to ca'l aid -re 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 undertak ■ witnout
good hme of success.
With sentiments of high regard, I am yours.

A NEW COLLECTION OF HYMNS,
(for the use of baptist churches.
BY BARON STOW AND S. F. SMITH,
i With a Supplement, by Richard Fuller , Pas
i tor of the Seventh Baptist Church , Balti
more, Md., and J. B. Jeter , Pastor of the
First Baptist Church , Richmond, Va.
ASSISTED IN’ THE WHOLE BY
Wm. R. Williams , N. Y.; Geo. B. Ide, Ru
fus W. Griswold, Penn., Stephen P. Hill ,
Md.; James B. Taylor , Va.; J. L. J)agg.
Ala.; Wm. T. Brantly, S. C.; R. B. C.
Howell, Tenn.; S. IV. Lind , Mich., from
John M. Peck, 111.
This work contains nearly Thirteen Hundred
Hymns, original and selected, hy 172 writers, be
sides pieces credited to 55 collections of Hymns or
other works, the authorship of which is unknown.—
Forty-five are anonymous, being traced neither to
author nor collections.
All of Watts’ Hymns, possessing lyrical spirit,
and suited to the worship of a Christian assembly,
are inserted ; and a large number of Hymns hereto
fore unknown in this country, have been introduced.
The Supplement was undertaken hy Rev. Messrs.
Fuller and Jeter, at the solicitation of friends at the
South.
EXTRACTS FROM THEIR PREFACE.
“The Psalmist contains a copious supply of ex
cellent Hymns for the pulpit. We are acquainted
with no collection of Hymns combining, in an equal
degree, poetic merit, evangelical sentiment, and a
rich variety of subjects, with a happy adaptation to
pulpit services. Old songs, like old friends, are more
valuable than new ones. A number of the Hymns
best known, most valued, and most frequently sung
in the South, are not found in the Psalmist. To
supply this deficiency is the design of the following
supplement. Though this selection has been made
with special reference to the taste and wants of the
South, we know no reason why it should not he ac
ceptable to other portions of the country.
“ Supplying the place of the Chants in the Psalm
ist, which, in many portions of our country are sel
dom used, the Supplement will add very little to the
bulk, and nothing to the price of the hook.
EXTRACTS FROM A FEW OF THE MANY NOTICES AND
REVIEWS.
From the Religious Herald , Richmond Va.
It has evidently been compiled with much care,
and comprises a sufficient variety of Hymns for all
the purposes of worship. The work deserves high
praise for its purity of style and expression. It has
great and deserved merit, and as a whole is not only
well adapted to tlie*object aimed at, hut superior to
its predecessors.
From the Alabama Baptist.
We think it decidedly superior to any collection
of Psalms or Hymns ever before issued from the
American press. In the number, variety, and adap
tation of subjects, this volume exceeds all others.—
Here are admirable Hymns on all the great doctrines
of the Bible. There are also great numbers of
Hymns of peculiar excellence, adapted to revivals,
camp meetings, protracted meetings, prayer meet
ings, conferences, and family worship. We earnest
ly recommehd The Psalmist to the attention of pas
tors and churches.
* EXTRACTS OF LETTERS.
From Rev. Wm. 7. Brantly, Augusta, Ga.
A desideratum is now supplied which has existed
and been seriously felt hy pastors for many years.—
Brother Ide did not speak extravagantly when he
pronounced the Psalmist “perfect in its kind, leav
ing nothing more to he desired fur this department
of worship.” 1 think your book only requires to be
known, to secure for it an extensive circulation.
j From Rev. Geo. P. Adams, Baltimore, Md.
It is time we had one Hymn Book for general use.
Lot “Th 3 Psalmist ”be that hook. Let our preach
j ers he as active a* those of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and it will he done.
From Rev. C. D. Mallary, Ga.
The object of this communication is, to inquire if
you have made any arrangements to supply our sec
i tion of ihe country with your new Hymn Book, the
PsahniA. lam very anxious to have it generally
circulated in Georgia, believing that it, has claims
paramount to all other Hymn Books in use.
From Rev. J. T. Robert, Savannah, Ga.
I regard the Psalmist in every respect as a work
of surpas ingexcellence, having unequalled claims
i upon the Baptists throughout the entire extent of
our countrv. If its real character were known, it
could not fail to secure an extensive patronage among
the churches here * * My anxiety on the sub
ject aris's entirely from a siro lg desi e, that ad our
| pulpits, and all our congregations, and all our fami
lies, should he suppli <1 with what 1 consider deci
de .lly the very b i compilation of 1 fymns adapted
to our wants, that can lie found in our language.
