(W NOTICE!^
DR. W. W. MARSHALL would respectfully in
form all persons afflicted with Cancer, Fistula,
Wens, and all ulcers a id tumors, originating from
whatsoever cause, that he is permanently located in
the city of Maacon, where lie may be found both sum
mer and winter. Dr. M. would guard the public
against false reports, viz: that he had removed from
Georgia—that he was dead, or deranged in mind.
It also appears tha t some itinerant arid other Doc
tors, are making, or trying to make, the false im
pression that they treat diseases 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 last. 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. 26,1818.
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 sin all 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. Bat 1 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, he was sure you could cure
me. But several physicians had cautioned me to he
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 April it bad a threatning ap
pearance, and 1 had to attend the general conference
of the M. K. Church South, at Petersburg Va. and
as you arc a citizen of Richmond Va 1 determined
to see you when you cainc on to the Madison Springs,
Geo. In August last, 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 1 would suffer less from the knife than any call
er method of curing it. But T had known many
taken out with the knife and soon re-appear. I
therefore thought it best to decline, although warn
e 1 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 healed leav
ing so small a scar, as scarcdy to be noticed without
close examination.
1 would therefore advise all who a-e afflicted with
( ancer in its various character, to call and see you, i
for I consider your treatment better and far more i
successful than any I have ever known, and T feel ‘
coufid nit in stating you will not undertake witnout
good hone of success.
With sentiments of high regard, I am yours,
J. W. GLENN.

All ®f Watts’ Hymns, possessing lyrical sr.irlt

EXTRACTS PROM 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 sum
in the Bouth, are not found in the Psalmist. To
supply Ibis deficiency is the design of the following
supplement. Though this selection has been made
with special reference to the fa te and wants of the
South, we know no reason why it should not be 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, tlie 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 cure,
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 a? a whole is not only
w T ell adapted to the object aimed at, but superior to
its predecessors.
From the Alabama Baptist.
W r e think it decidedly superior to any collection
of Psalms or Hymns ever before issued from the
American press. In the number, variety, aud adap
tation of subjects, this volume exceeds all others.—
Here are admirable Hymns on all the groat doctrines
of the Bible. There are also great numbers of
Hymns ol peculiar excellence, adapted to revivals,
camp meetings, protracted meetings, prayer meet
ings* conferences, and family worship. Wc earnest
ly recoinmehd The Psalmist to the attention of pas
tors and churches.
EXTRACTS OF LETTERS.
From Rev. Wvn. T. Brantlu , Augusta, Ga.
A desideratum is now supplied which has existed
find been seriously felt by pa-tors for many years. —
Brother Ido did not speak extravagantly when he
pronounced the Psalmist “perfect in its kind, leav
ing nothing more to bo desired for this department
of worship.” 1 think your book only require? 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 for general use.
Let “ The Psalmist” bo that book. Let our preach
ers boas active a< 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 inode any arrangements to supply our sec
tion of the country with your new Hymn Book, the
Psalmist, iam very anxious to have it generally
circulated in Georgia, believing that it has claim*
paramount to all other Hymn Docks in use.
j From Rev. J. T. Robert , Savannah , Ga.
1 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 fame
lies, should be supplied with what 1 consider deci
dedly the very best compilation of Ilymns adapted
to our wants, that can be found in our language.
OCf* The work is rapidly circulating in all part? or
the [Jnion, also, the British Provinces, and orders
have also been lately received for supplies from Lon
