Macon, Nov. 4, 1848. 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, J. W. GLENN., GOULD, KENDALL k LINCOLN. BOOK-SELLERS & PUBLISHERS, No. 59, Washington St., Boston, PUBLISH fig PSALMEOTs 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.
