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. J. W. GLE YX. §® © TF‘O 818 El 2a 13 Ts BIB& IB ¥ ®AS BIT ITS. ATHENS FEMALE SEMINARY.

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. | (r* * The work is rapidly circuDl ing in all parts of the Union, also, the British Provinces, and orders have a’sobeea lately received for supplies from Lon ■ doi. | The price of the I2mo. pulpit size, in splendid I binding, sit from $’ 25 (o 3 00. lumo. pew size, 1 handsomely bound in sheen, at 75 r ts. 32m0, pock et ‘d ‘e, handsomely bound in sheep, at ,56 cts.
