A certificate from three members Of The Medical
Profession in Germany, IN Europe.
We, the undersigned, practitioners of med
icine in Germany, are well aware that, by our
course, we may forfeit the friendship of some
ofthe faculty, but not of its benevolent mem
bers, who are uninfluenced by selfish motives.
Though we shall refrain from an expression Of
our opinion, either ofihe soundness or unsoupd-
ness of DIR. Goelicke's nelo doctrine, we are
happy to say that we deem his Sanative toe
valuable not to be generally known-for what
our eyes behold and our ears hear, we must be-
lieve
We hereby state, that when DIR. Louis Offou
Goelicke first came before the German public,
as the pretended discoverer of a new doctrine
and new medicine, we held him in the high
est contempt believing and openly pronounc-
inc him to be base impostor and the prince
of 1uacks. But, on hearing so much said about
the Sanative, against it and for it, we were In
duced, from motives of curiosity merely, to
make trial of its reputed virtues upon number
of our most hopeless PATIENTS; and we now
deem it our bounden duty (even at the ex.
pense of our selfinterest) publicly to acknowl-
edge its efficacy in curing not only consump-
ton, 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 astonish.

amends for our abuse of him, we do frankly
confess to the world, that we believe him q

The recent adoption of this medicine into
some of our European hospitals is a sufficient
guaranty that it performs all its promises. Il

used it is Its own best witness.

Dear sir-The Matches Sanative sells well
and with signal success. One Casa young
man, IN the last stages Of consumption, given
over by his physician, has been taking it only a
few weeks and isnow able to walk and ride out.
Before he took the Sanative he was unable to
get out Of bed. and his death was hourly ex-

he was soon able to leave his bed and TO be out
as before stated. Two other similar cases
have recently occurred.

mixed, warm the boots, and apply the hot
SUN with painters brush, until neither the
sole nor upper feathers will suck in any more.
