THE GREATEST OF HUMaS BJsiNJE
FACTOKS.
Citizens of North and South America,
To Lot'll Orroy Gull icke, M. D. of Gcr*
many, Europe belongs the imperishable lion
or of adding a st»v a«d prkciols doctrine to
the Science of Medicine—a doctrine which,
though vehemently opposed by many of the fa
culty, [of which he is a valuable member,] he
proves to be as well louuded in truth as any doe-,
trine ol Holy Writ—a doctrine, upon the verity
of which are suspended the lives of millions ofour
race, and which he boldly challenges his oppo
sers to refute, viz; Consumption is a disease al~
ways occasioned by a disordered state of J is Vita
(or Life Principle) of the human body \ (ff often
secretly lurking in the system for years before there
is the least complaint of the which
may be as certainly, though not so quickly, cured,
as a common cold or a simple headache. A o inval
uably precious dcctrine this, as it imparts an im
jjuUaut lesion to the apparently healthy of both
sexes, teaching them that this insidious too may
be an uuobserved inmate of their “clayey houses”
e.veu while they imagine themselves secure from
its attacks, teaching them that THE GREAT
SECRET IN THE ART OF PRESERVING
HEALTH IS TO PLUCK OUT THE DIS
EASE WHILE in THE BLADE, AMIJ.NOT
WAIT TILL THE FULL GROWN EAR.
This illustrious benefactor of man is also enti
tled to our unfeigned gratitude, and the gratitude
of a world, for the invention of his MATCH
LESS SANATIVE,—whose healing fiat may
justly claim for it such a title, since it has so
signally triumphed over our great common ene
my (lj CONSUMPTION, both in the first and
last stages,-—a medicine which has throughly til
led the vacum in the Materia Medico,*'and
thereby proved itself the OCp’CoAtp.'KF.OR op Pm*
iciaws^jQ)—a medicine, for which all mankind
will have abundant cause to bles9 the beneficent
hand of a kind Providence, —a medicine whose
wondrous virtues have been su glowingly portray
ed even by some ofour clergy, in their pastoral
visits to the sick chamber; by which means they
often become the happy instruments of changing
despondency into hope, sickness into health, and
sadness of friends into joyfulness.

OOELICKE’S is a medicine of more i*’u© to man
than the vast mines of Austria, or even the united
treasures of our globe,—a medicine, which is ob
tained equally from the vegetable, animal and min
eral kingdoms, and thus possesses a three-fold
power.---a medicine, which though designed as
u remedy for consumption solely, is possessed of
a mysterious influence over many diseases of the
human system,— a medicine, which beginesto be
valued by Physicans . who are daily witnessing
its astonishing cures of many whom they had le
sjgned to the g'aspof the Insatiable Grave.
DOSE of the Sanative, for adults, one drop;
for children, a half drop ; and for infants, a quar
ter drop ; the directions explaining the manner of
taking ahalfor a quarter drop.

A certificate from three members of the
MEDICAL PROFESSION in Germany, in
Europe.
e, the undersigned, practitioners of medicine
in Germany are well aware that, by onr course,
we may forfeit the friendship of some of' the fa
culty, but not of its benevolent members, who are
uninfluenced by selfish motives. Though we
shall refrain from an expression of our opinion,
ehher of the soundness or unsoundness of Dr.
<T»elicke’s new doctrine, we are happy toj say
that we deem his Sanative too valuable not to be
generally known—for what onr eyes behold cod
our ears hear, we must believe.
We hereby state, that when Dr. Louis O.Tou
Goelicke first came before the German public, as
the pretended discoverer of anew doctrine and a
new medicine, we held him in the highest con
tempt. believing, and openly pronouncing him to
be a base impostor and the prince of quacks. But,
On hearing so much said about the Sanative,
tgainst it and for it, we w ere induced, from motives
of curiosity merely, to make trial of its reputed
virtues upon a number of our most hopeless pa
tients; and we now deem itourbonnden duty (even
at the expense of our self interest) publicly to *c
.know ledge its efficacy in curing not only conpump
♦ ion, but other fearful maladies, which we have
heretofore believed to be incurable. Our con
tempt for the discoverer of this medicine was at
once swallowed up in our utter astonishment at
these unexpected results; and, as amends for onr
abuse of him, we do frankly confess to the world,
that we believe him a philanthropist, who does
honor to the profession, and to ourcountiy, which
gave him birth.
i he recent adoption of this medicine into some
of our European hospitals is a sufficient guaranty
that it performs all its promises. It needed not
our testimony for wherever it is used it is its own
oest witness.

CARD.
7o the patrons of the. Southern Literary Messenger.
'The startling cost at which this work has been
established, and is sustained, and the backwa d
ness of many subscribers in fulfilling their pan cf
our mutual oinpact, call indispensably fi i - ; e «*p
peal, not to their liberality—but to their jnstitc.
It punctual payments are ever necessary, they are
pie-eminently so in the ease of such a publica
tion, —purely literary—almost wholiv orL’nal—
and destitute of the vital aid which newspapers
derive from advertk--ements.
My all is at stake, in this enterprise -It *
venture, stimulated indeed by some hope
molument; but founded largely, also upon
well warranted expectation of" rallying sfoulk
talents and Southern public spirit, around the
drooping and well nigh prostrate banner us Soufb
ern Literature. Since it has now acquired claim'
upon Southern justice— can it be, that dies w*
urged in vain ?
Subscribers then, who are in arrears—and !»'
them remember, that payment is due in advance,
will, I trust, without delay, transmit the nlOU nt ' ,
they owe to me, at Richmond, by mail, a t
risk and cost; taking proper evidence of the f' |C
affid date ot mailing; and retaining a msmora®
dtfm es deb note sent.
