LOUIS OFFON GOELICKE,
OF GERMANY,
THE GREATEST OF HUMAN BENEFAcToRs.
Citizens Of North and South America,
To Louis Offon Goelicke, Md. OF Genna-
ny, Europe belongs the imperishable honor
of adding a new and precious doctrine to the
science of medicine-a doctrine which, though
vehemently opposed BY many Of the faculty,
(of which he is valuable member he proves
to be as well founded in truth as any doctrine IN
Holy Writ-a doctrine, upon the verify OF
which are suspended the lives of millions OF
our race, and which he boldly challenges his
opponents to refute, viz: Consumption IS a
disease 0llcayS occaSioncd By diSordered state
Of Vis YitR Cor Life Principle,) Of The human
body; GJ- often secretly lurking IN the system
for gears before there IS the feast complaint Of
the Llplgs-and achich may be as certainly,
though not so quickly, cured, as a common cvld
or simple headache. An inyaluably precious
doctrine tins, as It imparts an important lesson
to the apparently healthy of both sexes, teach
ing them that this insidious foe may be an un-
observed inmate of their sclayey houses even
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
disease while in the blade, and not wait till the
full grown ear.
This illustrions benefactor of man is also en-
titled to the unfeigned gratitude of a world, for
the invention ofhis Matches Sanative--whose
healing fiat may Justly claim for it such title,
since it has SO signally tnumphed over our
great common enemy u CONSUMPTION,
both in the first and last stages--a medicine
which has thoroughly filled the rGcuun in the
mateira medica, and thereby proved itself the
IL COnqueror Of PhySiciGnS-a medicine, for
which all mankind viii have abundant cause to
bless the benIficent hand of kind Providence,
"a medicine, whose wondrous virtues have
been so glowing portrayed even by some OF
our clergy, in their pastoral visits to the sick
chamber by which means they often become
the happy instruments of changing desponden-
CIV into hope, sickness into health, and sadness
offriends into joyfulness.
GOcIickc'S MatchIeSS SamatiVe,
a medicine OF more value to man than the vast
mines of Austria, or even the united treasures
of our globe-a medicine, which is obtained
equally from the vegetable, animal and mineral
kingdoms, and thus possesses three-told pow
era medicine, which though designed as a
remedy for consumption solely, is possessed of
mysterious influence over many diseases of
the human system--a medicine, which begins
to be valued by Physicians, who are daily wit
Messing its astonishing cures Of many whom
they had resigned to the grasp of the Insatia-
bic Grave.
Dose of the Sanative, fr adults, one drop !;
for children, half drop; and for infants, a
quarter drop; the directions explaining the
manner of taking half or quarter drop

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
of the faculty, but noNnf its benevolent men,
bers, who are uninhuenced by selfish motives.
Though we shall refrain from an expression OF
our opinion, either of the soundness or unsoupd-
ness of DIR. Goelicke's ne,o doctrine, we are
happy to say that we deem his Sanative too
valuable not to be generally known--for what
our eyes behold and our ears hear, we must be-
heve.
We hereby state, that when DIR. Louis Offon
Goelicke first came before the German public,
as the pretended discoverer of new doctrine
and new medicine, we held him in the high
est contempt, believing and openly pronounc-
ing him to be base impostor and the prince
ofquacks. But, on hearing SO much said about
the Sanative, against it and for it, we were in
duced, from motives of cur osity 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 i'll 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-
ment at these unexpected results and, as
amends for our abuse of him, we do frankly
confess to the world, that we believe him a
| philanthropist, who does honor to the profes.
sion, and to our country, which gave him both
The recent adoption of this medicine into
some of our European hospitals is sufficient
guaranty that It performs all its promises. Il
needed not our testimony, for wherever it il
used it is It's own best witness.
