MAGILL, Principal. Athens, Dec. 9th, 1848. 31 153 T NOTICE! JE9 DR. W. 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 maj r 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 that some itinerant and 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. 26,1848. 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 preesutly became so troublesome in shaving. Sevcul 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 I felt but little apprehension until the present year, although its size had considcrab'y 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 hod 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 the latter part of April it had a threatning ap pearance, and J had to attend the general conference of the M. E. Church South, at Petersburg Va. and as you are a citizen of Richmond Ya I determined to see you when you came on to the Yladisou 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 cur it out for me, assuring me that 1 would suffer less from the knife than any oth er method of curing it. But I had known many taken out with the knife and soon rc-appear. I therefore thought it best to decline, although warn ed that an unsightly sear would mark my face. Put 1 am happy to sav 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 scarcely to he noticed without close examination. 1 would therefore advise n!l who are afflicted with Cancer in its various character, to call and see 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 undertake witnout good hope of success. With sentiments of high regard, I nm yours, J- W GLENN. Howard House—Marietta, Ga. T C.

BOOK-SELLERS & PUBLISHERS No. 59, Washington St., Boston, PUBLISH THU PiA3LHE§I B A NEW COLLECTION OF HYMNS, FOR THE USE OF BAPTIST CHURCHES BY BARON STOW AND S. F. SMITH. With a Supplement, by Richard Fuller , 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. Lager Ala.; Wm. T. Brant!y, S. C.; R. R £ Howell, Tenn.; S. W. 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 by 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, ivith a happy adaptation to pulpit services. Old songs, like old friends, are move valuable than new ones. A number of the Hymns best knoivn, 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 be ac ceptable to other portions of the country. “ Supplying the place of the Chants in thePsalm i 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, but superior to its predecessors. From the Alabama Baptist. \Ye 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 recommelid The Psalmist to the attention of pas tors and churches. EXTRACTS OF LETTERS. From Rev. Wm. T. Brantly , Augusta , Go. A desideratum is now supplied which has existed J and been seriously felt by pa-tors for many years. — : Brother Ide did not speak extravagantly when he I pronounced the Psalmist “perfect in it3 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 t ime we had one Hymn Book for general use. Let “ The Psalmist” he that book. Let our preach ers boas active as those of the Methodist Kpiseopa! Church, and it will be done. From Rev. C. D. Mallary, Ga. Tho object of this communication is, to inquire if you have in.ide any arrangements to supply our sec tion of the country with your new Hi inn Book, the Psalmist. lam very anxious to have it generally circulated in Georgia, believing that it has claims paramount to all other Hymn Bocks in use. 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 ad our pulpits, and all our congregations, and all our fami lies, should be suj plied with what I consider deci dedly the very best compilation of Hymns adapter to our wants, that can he found in our language. fytf- The work is rapidly circulating in all pai Uef the Union, also, the British Province*, ad o ilers have also been lately received for supplies from Lon don. , Tho price of the 12mo. pulpit size, in splcm-ui binding, at from $1 25 to 3 00. 18mo. pew s iz £* handsomely bound in sheep, at 75 cts. 32m0, pock* et size, handsomely bound in sheep, at 56 cts.
