MAGILL, Principal. Athens, Dec. 9th, 1848. 31 (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.

Messrs duller and Jeter, at the solicitation of friends at th • 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.
