Cif NOTICE!
DR. \V. 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 Maacon, where he may be found both sum
mer and winter. Dr. M. would guard the public
against false reports, viz: that he had remove! from
Georgia—that ho was dead, or deranged in mind.
It also appears that some itinerant and other Doc
tors, arc making, or trying to make, the false im
pression that they treat diseases precisely as Dr. M.
does, thereby misrepresenting him, anil 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. dooms it only necessa
ry to add, that his former and continued success in
the management of these diseases, is conclusive evi
dence of ihe 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 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 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 1 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 tlircatning ap
pearance, and I had to attend the general conference
of the M. 12. Church South, at Petersburg Va. and
as you are a citizen of Richmond Va. I determined
to sec you when you came on to the Madis in Springs,
Geo. In August last, 1 started for the Springs. On
my way thither a very eminent physician examined
it and told me it threatened to he a very bad place,
and kindly offered to cut it out for ine, assuring me
that I would suffer loss from tho knife than an}”oth
er method of curing it. But I had known many
taken out with the knife and soon re-appeur. 1
therefore thought it best to decline, although warn
ed that an unsightly scar would mark my face. But
1 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 he lied leav
ing so small a scar, as scarcely to be noticed without
close examination.
1 would therefore advise all who are afflicted with
Cancer in its various character, to call and see you,
for I consider your treatment belter and far more
successful than any I have ever known, and I feel
confident in seating you will not undertake wituout
good hope 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.
With a Supplement, by Richard Fidler, Pas
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.Dagg.,
Ala.; Wm. T. Brandy, S. C.; R. B. C.
Howell , Tenn.; S. W. Lind, Mick., from
John M. Peek, 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 by Rev. Messrs.
Fuller and Jeter, at the solicitation of friends at the
South
EXTRACTS FROM THEIR FREFACE.
“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 tho 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 bo 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 book.
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 the 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 recommehJ The Psalmist to the attention of pas
tors and churches.
EXTRACTS OF LETTERS.
From Rev. Wm. T. Brandy, Augusta, Ga.
A desideratum is now supplied which has existed
and been seriously felt by pastors for many years.—
Brother Ide did not speak extravagantly when he
pronounced the Psalmist “perfect in its kind, leav
ing nothing more to be desired for this department
of worship.” 1 think your book only requires to be
known, to secure for it an extensive circulation.
From Rev. Geo. F. Adams, Baltimore, Md.
It is time we had one Hymn Book forgeneral use.
Let “J he Psalmist” be that book. Let our preach
ers be as active as those of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and it will be done.
From Rev. C. I). Mallary , Ga.
The object of this communication is, to inquire if
you have made any arrangements to supply our sec
tion of the country with your new Hymn Book, the
Psalmist. 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 surpassing excellence, having unequalled claims
upon the Baptists throughout the entire extent of
our country. 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 arises entirely from a strong desire, that all our
pulpits, and all our congregations, and all our fami
lies, should be supplied with what I consider deci
dedly the very best compilation of Hymns adapted
to our wants, that can he found in our language.
