CULLODEN, Ga. February 18. 1847.
Dr. Marshall —Dear S>r: I feel constrained by a j
sense ot duty, growing out of a grateful remembrance I
of the signal benefit which has resulted to myself from
your treament for a cancerous affection, under which I
suffered forsoine time, to give you, under my ownhand i
a statement of all the facts involved, leaving it at your j
discretion to give that statement publicity or not, as
you may think proper.
In the beginning of the summer of 1846,1 discovered
a small tumor or pimple on rather the innerside of the
lower lip, near the right corner of the mouth. This for I
some time, gave me 110 uneasiness, as 1 supposed it a j
matter of no moment. It continued to increase in size
until the month of September or October, when it be
came exceedingly painful. 1 procured the advice ofsev
eral medical men, who stood high in their profession,
and was encouraged by litem to leel no uneasiness, as j
it had none of the characteristics of a Cancer. Caustics j
and other remedies, usually applied for the removal of I
pimples and warts, were recommended by them, and i
used by me tor a length of time, but without benefit.— I
On the contrary, under the irritating influence of these
applications, it extended more rapidly, and finally be- ]
came exceedingly painful. It had grown in six months ■
to be the sizeof a dime coin. 1 was recommended by j
my friends —among whom 1 will mention Dr. A. O.
Rogers, of Crawford county, a well known physician— i
to place myself under your treatment. 1 had but little
hope of recovery, but as I could expect nothing less than :
a horrible death, if the disease continued its ravages. 1 ,
coucluded to follow the counsel of my friends. On the
7th day of December last 1 placed myself under your
treatment, and continued subject to your prescriptions
for three weeks, at the end of which time 1 returned
home completely cured. And the thing not the least
marvellous in this most miraculous cure is, that not
withstanding the size of the cancer, and the depth which
it had affected the surrounding parts, there is now
scarcely any scar perceptible.
I know it may, and no doubt will be said that mine
was not a case of cancer. Os one thing, however, lam
satisfied, that without a cure, 1 must have died ol the
disease, and that very soon. The remedies in common !
use had failed—it had all the appearances, and produced !
all the peculiar sensations of pain, said by physicians to j
mark tne character ot Cancer, ana hence 1 make no I
hesitation in saying that it was a cancer—and 1 speak !
from a conviction produced by happy experience, when
1 say, that if taken in time, your treatment will cure j
in every case.
I should not have performed my whole duty, if I were j
to conclude this statement without recommending to all j
having cancerous affections to place themselves under I
your treatment without delay, and the word of a man ■
who has tried it, they will be healed.
Respectlully. JAMES SMITH.
MACON, Ga.
My Dear Sir: I take great pleasure in contributing
the mite of my experience and confidence in the effici
ency of your practice and treatment ot those cases of
diseases mentioned in your pamphlet. Os the means j
ot treatment, 1 am unable to speak—these beingconliti- |
ed to your own practice and professional research ; but j
fully confide in the efficacy ol those means from the es- j
sects 1 have known produced—These effects seem not
confined to the locality of the disease, but to pervade |
the whole system ; imparting renewed vigor to the con- j
stitution and thus characterizing your treatment as both !
local and constitutional. Os all tiie cases under your
professional care, which I have noticed—and these are j
not a few—the individuals with a single exception,!
have avowed to me that their general health had great
ly improved, and their systems seem to have been ren
ovated. In my individual case, I was greatly reduced
from the ravages of this loathsome disease, my friends
supposed me in a rapid decline ; my professional pur- I
suits were almost entirely abandoned, and I had given j
up to linger out a living death. Hearing accidentally j
ol your treatment and tne success which a tiended it, I
repelled the prejudices which an individual and undi
vulged system of practice had prompted, and placed my
self unreservedly under your control. In a very short j
time 1 found the disease yielding and my,health improv- |
ing, and in two months I felt my constitution renewed ;
and the disease reduced to the smallest compass. lam
now in better health, than 1 have been in seven years
previously—and if 1 should again relapse into the ago
nies of the disease, 1 would, with the utmost confi
dence, replace myself under your treatment.
1 deem it but proper to state that since you first came
to Macon in 1845, that success with which you have !
met and subdued disease, has inspired an almost gener
al confidence in youripractice; and the doubt which at
first prevailed as to yourabtlity to cure Cancer, Fistula, 1
Ac., seems to have modified into a doubt as to the rem
edies and means of your treatment. I take great plea
sure in bearing my bumble testimony to yout high char- j
acter as a gentleman, and to the kindness ami cour- ;
testes with which you are universally received and !
cherished here.
Yours Respectfully, S. R. BLAKE.
Dr. \V. W. Marshall.
Dear Sir: I feel a peculiar pleasure in giving my tes- 1
timony in favor of the method pursued by Dr. Vv. YV.
Marshall, (formerly ot Virginia, now a resident of this
place,) in treating Cancer, Fistula, and cli similar
complaints. F’or ourself, there is nothing we detest so
heartily asquackery m any department of human knowl
edge or ingenuity. We can assure the public, there is
none in the pretensions of Dr. M. The cases lie has
cured of late in this place, are numerous, myself among
the number.
The Doctor has patients from the remotest parts of
the Union, who place themselves under his cate, at this
place, upon the recommendation of others who have
been made whole by his instrumentality. YVe would
advise all those affiicied w.th the above diseases, to ap
ply immediately to Dr. M. in whom they will tin t all
the traits which characterize the gentleman and the
philanthropist. ST. LANIER.
Mr. Lanier is favorably known as tbe former propri
etorofthe Washington Hall, and now propietor of the

On tiie 20th February, Silas Mote, of Murray coun-
I ty, Georgia, made application by letter, for medicine
tor his daughter Mary, who is a lady well advanced in
1 hte, then laboring under a severe attack of Dropsy—
she had ever since iter arrival at womanhood, labored
1 under Dysmennorrhcra in its worst form, often sofler
■ mg great periodical pain, till at about the “turn ot life,”
site was attacked with severe and wasting Mennor
rhagia. This loss of blood brought on Dropsy, from
which she could find no relief. On the 25tli ot Februa
ry, the first medicine was sent. On the 2d April, the
following report was received :
Dr. Thomson— Dear Sir: I now undertake to in
form you how your medicine has operated on my dangh
ter; she commenced taking medicine on the 3d March,
she was then very much swelled in her body and ull
over her, with great soreness; about the Bth or 9ih day af
ter commencing, she was much worse than ever lie fore,
! but after that, site appeared to mend slowly, though
still sore and much swelled—she lias been so that she
could not get up out ot her chair, nor walk cue step
without help, whereas she can now get up herseif and
walk across the house once or twice without help —she
still cannot lie down to sleep, but sits in her chair both
day and night. I wish you to send us further instruc
tions—enclosed, &,c. SILAS MOTE.
On the 14th May, the report is:
Dear Sir, —I again write you a few lines to let you
know the state ot my daughter’s health at this time
1 She is considerably improved since I hist wrote you,
j but is not yet well, and I think will require anew sup
ply of medicince ; she is much better than she was,
: though considerably swelled in her body vet —she rests
! w’ell of a night, can lie down and sleep well all night,
can walk about the house and to the knehen and back
again. 1 wish you to send whatever is necessary. En
! closed, &c. SILAS MOTE.
No more was heard from the patient t'll the other
[ day, when the annexed letter came to hand, some of
j the expressions personal to himself, he lias taken the
! liberty to soften down.
Dalton, Nov. 19th, 1848.
Dr. Thomson —Dear Sir: Witli the greatest grati
tude I now write to you, as I think you entitled to the
highest praise I could bestow on any man, for I think
your skill surpasses that of any Doctor in this or any
other country, lor through your skill and the blessing
of Almighty God, my daughter is restored to perfect
health, just as it were from the brink of the grave,
when all hopes were gone. Her cry is long live Dr.
Thomson, her good wishes will never cease while she
lives—she wishes very much to see you, and if you
ever come to Dalton, you must he sure to can on us.
1 think the restoration of her health one of the great
est miracles ever performed by any Doctor. 1 have
been waiting since the last of August to see whether
she would need any more, hut 1 think her health is
perfectly restored, for she looks better, and she says
leels better than she has in years. Enclosed, doc.
SILAS MUTE.
Accompahying the above is a note from A. E. Blunt,
I Esq. Post Master in Dalton, who says :
Dr. Thomson —Dear Sir: You will find enclosed
j live dollars, sent by Mr. S. Mote, which you will
l place to his credit.
Miss Mary Mote is a near neighbor, and when 1 saw
I her one year ago I then thought she could not live a
month. Since she began to Hike your medicine, site
has been relieved to the astonishment of all herneigh-
I bors, and is now in her usual health, to her own sur
’ prise. With respect, youtstruiv,
A. E. BLUNT, P. M.

MISCELLANEOUS.
A Turkish Hath.
The lust good description of a Turkish bath.
I Dunk, was foady Mary YVortly Montague’s,
which voluptuous picture must have “been
painted at least a hundred and thirty years
ago. so that another sketch may be attempted
bv a humbler artist in a different manner. The
Turkish bath is certainly a novel sensation to
an Englishman, and may be set down as the
most queer and surprising event of his life. I
made tlie valet de place or dragoman (it is ra
ther it fine thing to have a dragoman in one’s
service) conduct me forthwith to tlie best ap
pointed ltununuina in the neighborhood ; and
we walked to a house at Tophuna, and into a
spacious hall lighted from above, which is the
cooling room ol the bath.
The spacious hall has a large fountain in the
midst.a painted gallery running round it;and
many ropes stretched from one gallery to ano
ther. ornamented with profuse draperies of
towels and blue cloths, for the use of the fre
quenters of the place. All round the room and
the galleries were matted enclosures, fitted
with numerous neat beds aud cushions for re
posing on. where lay a dozen of true believers
smoking, or sleeping, or in the happy half-do
zing state. I was led up to one of til se beds to
rather a retired corner, in consideration of my
modesty; and to the next bed presently came
;i dancing dervish, whofbrthwith began to pre
pare for the bath.
When the dancing dervish had taken off his
yellow sugar-loaf cap h'is gown, shawl. 4c.,
ho was arrayed in two large blue cloths; a
white one being thrown over his shoulders,
and another in the shape of a turban plaited
neatly round his head ; the garments of which
lie divested himself were folded up in another
linen and neatly put by. I beg leave to state
I was treated m precisely the same manner as
the dancing dervish.
The reverend gentleman then put on a pair
of wooden pattens which elevated him about
six inches from the ground—and walked down
tlie stairs, and daddled across the moist mar
ble floor of the hall, and in at the door, by
which also Titmarsh, entered. But 1 had
none of the professional agility of tlie dancing
dervish; I staggered very ludicrously upon
the high wooden pattens; and should have
been down on my nose several times had not
the dragoman and the master ol the bath sup
ported me down the stairs and across file hall.
Dressed in three large cotton napkins, with a
white turban round my head. 1 thought, of Pall
Mali witli a sort of despair. 1 passed the lit
tle door, it was closed behind me —1 was in
tlie dark —I couldn’t speak the language—in
a white turban; Mon Dieu! what was going
to happen?
The dark room was the tepidarium. a moist
oozing arched den. with a light faintly stream
ing from an, orifice in tlie doomed ceiling
Yells of frantic laughter aud soug came boom
ing and clanging through the echoing arch
es. the doors clapped to with loud reverbera
tions. It was the laughter of the followers of
Mahmoud, frolicking and taking their pleasure
in the public bath. I could not go into that
place ; I swore I would not; they promised me
a private room, and the dragoman left me. My
agony at parting from that Christian cannot
bo described.
When you get into the Sudarium, or hot
room, jour first sensations only occur about
half a minute after entrance, when you feel
that you are choking. I found myself in that
state, seated on a marble slab ; the bath man
was gone; he had taken away the cotton tur
ban and shoulder shawl; I saw I was in a nar
row room of marble, with a vaulted roof and
a fountain of warm and cold water; the atmos
phere was in steam, the choking sensation
went off, and I felt a sort of pleasure presently
in a soft boiling simmer’ which, no doubt, po
tatoes feel when they are 6teaniing. You are
left in this state for about ten minutes; ilia
warm, certainly, but odd ami pleasant, and
disposes the mind to reverie.
But let any delicate mind in street,
fancy my horror, when, on looking up out of
this reverie., I saw a great brown wretch ex
tended before ine, only half dressed, standing
on pattens and exaggerated by them and the
steam until he looked like an ogre, grinning
in the most horrible way, and waving his arm
on which was a horse-hair glove. He spoke
in his unknown nasal jargon, words which ech
oed through the arched room ; his eye seemed
astonishingly large and bright, his t ars stuck
out. and his head was all shaved, except a
bristling top-knot, which gave it a demoniac
fierceness.
This description, I feel, is growing too fright
ful; Ladies who read it will be going into hys
tericks, or saying. •• Well, upon iny word, this
is the most singular, the most extraordinary
kind of language. Jane, my love, jou will not
read that odious book” —and so 1 will he brief.
This grinning man belabers the patient most
violently with the horse-brush. When he
has completed the horse-hair part, and you lie
expiring under a squirting fountain of warm
water, and fancying all is done, he re-appears
with a large brass basin containing a quantity
of laiher, in the midst of which is something
like old Miss Mac Whirter’s flaxen wig that
6he is proud of. and that we have all langhed
at. Just as you are going to remonstrate, the
thing like the wig is dashed into your face and
eyes, covered over with soap and lor five min
utes you are drowned in lather; you can’t see.
the suds are frothing over your eyeballs; you
can't hear, the soap is whizzing into j'our ears;
you can’t gasp for breath. Mias Mac \\ hirter’s
wig is down your throat with half a pail full of
suds in an instant —you are all soap. Wicked
children in former days have jeered you. ex
claiming, *• How are you off* for soap ?” —You
little knew what saponacity was till you en
tered a Turkish hath.
When the whole operation is concluded,
you are led —with what heartfelt joy I need
not say—softly back to'the cooling-room, hav
ing been robed in shawls and turbans as before.
You are laid gently on the reposing bed;
somebody brings a narghile, which taste aa
tobacco must taste in Mahomet s Paradise; a
cool sweet dreamy langour takes possession
of the puryfied frame; aud half an hour ol”
such delicious laziness is spent over the pipe
as is unknown in Europe, where vulgar prej
uJsces has most shamefully maligned indo
lence, calls it foul names, such us the father of
all evil, and the like ;in fact, does not know
how to educate idleness as these honest Tu-ks
do, and the fruit which, when properly culti
vated. ii bears.
The after-bath state is the most delightful
condition of laziness l ever knew, and I tried
it wherever we went afterwards on our little
tour. At Smyrna the whole business was
much inferior to the method employed in the
capital. At Cairo, alter the soap, you are
plunged into a sort of stone coffin, full of wa
ter, which is all but boiling. This has its
charms; but 1 could not relish the Egyptian
shampooing. A hideous old blind man (but
very dexterous in his art) tried to break my
back and dislocate my shoulders, but I could
not see the pleasures of the practice; and anoth
er fellow began tickling tlie soles of my feet,
but I rewarded him with a kick that sent him
off - the bench. The pure idleness is tne best,
but I shall never enjoy such in Europe again.
Journey to Cairo.
Extraordinary Clock.
The various telegraphic officers along the line from
Cincinnati to Pittsburgh, were thrown into some ex
citement recently by an incessant and uniform
ticking, which occurred in their various registers. It
appears that Professors Walker and Locke had con
nected an Astronomical Clock with the line in such a
manner that its beats were conveyed to Pittsburg, for
determining longitude. That a clock going in Cin
cinnati should tick so ioud as to be heara in Pittsburgh
or Philadelphia and all along the intermediate line, at
one f nd the same moment, is an ttera of “ Natural
Magic” which a few years ago could scarcely have
been jiredicted.—Cm Times.
