TESTIMONIALS.

If the following letters had been written by your best known and most esteemed neighbors they could be no more worthy of your confidence than they are now, coming, as they do, from well known, intelligent and trustworthy citizens, who, in their several neighborhoods, enjoy the fullest confidence and respect of all who know them.

Out of thousands of similar letters received from former patrons, we have selected these few at random, and have to regret that we can find room only for this comparatively small number in this volume.

Gentlemen—I am thankful to-day that I can honestly say, that as a result of your few weeks' treatment, I feel better now in both body and mind than I have for fifteen years. Before I consulted you I felt more like taking my own life to end my miserable feelings than I felt like living; I had given up all hopes of ever being any good to myself or anybody else, but, thank God, your encouragement, and kind words, and skillful treatment have made a different man of me.

Before I consulted you, I took no interest in business nor any thing else in the world, which the wise Creator has placed in this world for all mankind to enjoy; but now my mind is clear, and I take an interest in business and enjoy life better than I ever did before.

Now, may God bless you for your good and skillful treatment of me; and, also, may this be the means of inducing others who are to-day suffering from the same complaint to at once consult you, as I can assure them that they will receive full benefit of your kind attention, for moderate charges.

Yours respectfully, T.M. CARSON,P.O. Box 145, Swissvale, Allegheny Co., Pa.

Gentlemen—I now write to describe the benefit which I have received from your treatment. For some time I had been suffering from nervous debility, and before placing myself under your treatment my trouble was very severe; and not understanding the nature of my disease, I did not know what to do until I saw a few testimonials of your wonderful cures, when I was led to at once communicate with you; and after two months' special treatment from you, I was greatly relieved, and was advised to then use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, which I did for a time, and am happy to say that I now feel like another man, and am troubled no longer with the old symptoms, and I thank God, and also the kind gentlemen that have been conducting my case, for the treatment and advice which I have received. I also think the "Golden Medical Discovery" is a most wonderful medicine, and I shall feel it my duty to speak well of your medicines and treatment to all fellow sufferers I may meet. I am,

Yours truly, F. MACEY,Faversham, Kent, England.

Gentlemen—Two and a half years ago, after seeking in vain for health at the hands of local doctors, I began treatment with you for "Nervous Debility" of a complicated nature. As a result thereof I now give this testimonial, having been changed from a person of rapidly declining health—often despondent and with no inclination to work of any kind, to one of sound constitution who enjoys life and is once more able to battle his way to success in life; and it is now about two years since the change occurred, showing it to be permanent.

I cannot say too much in praise of your methods, and careful, courteous attention which myself and others have enjoyed at your hands; and that the good work may go on to an unlimited extent is my earnest wish.

Yours sincerely.A.E. NORCROSS,(General Delivery), Detroit, Mich.

Gentlemen—I feel very grateful to you, and to our all-wise Creator for restoring my health. When I first wrote to you I was a miserable sufferer with nervous debility, dyspepsia, heart disease, also female weakness. I was so nervous and low-spirited I could not sleep, in fact I was just about as weak and low as I could be, and could scarcely drag around; but, after persevering for about twelve months, occasionally with the help of your kind treatment and advice, I once more begin to feel like myself again. Words cannot tell how I do appreciate my health.

Thank you, gentlemen! I shall never forget the kind business-like manner in which you have treated me. May God bless you, inasmuch as your heart's desire is to do good to suffering humanity.

Very truly, Miss K. GREENWELL,No. 253 Twenty-second St., Ogden, Utah.

Gentlemen—For the last year and a half I was troubled with Nervous Debility. I tried some medicine that I bought from the druggist, which did me little or no good; so, hearing of the World's Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, I wrote them about my case, and in reply, they said they were sure they could cure me. At that time I was weak in my arms and legs, had poor sight and, worst of all, I was very nervous and bashful. I could not sleep at night and feel refreshed in the morning. I could not look any one in the eye without feeling ashamed.

I have now taken two months' treatment and I feel sound in mind and body; but to be sure I am going to take another month's treatment from these same doctors in Buffalo.

I recommend all men who are afflicted with any disease similar to the one of which I have just been cured to apply to the World's Dispensary Medical Association, and if they take treatment from these doctors they will surely be cured. I cannot praise them too much for what they have done for me.

Yours truly, C.H. GOODSELL,No. 151 S.W. Temple St.Salt Lake City, Utah.

Gentlemen—I had been out of health for a period of about three years. Suffered with pains in the head, catarrh, chills, fever, nervousness, and general debility. Spent about all the money I had in order to obtain relief, but received little, if any good. I was scarcely able to work, when in July, 1887, I wrote to your Association, describing my case. You replied, advising me, and prescribing a course of treatment, which you sent to me. After taking but a part of these medicines I began to feel a great deal better; could sleep very much better and was able to resume work as usual, but still suffered some pain in head, and my buck was lame and weak. I continued treatment for some three or four months, until all remaining symptoms of distress and weakness had disappeared. At the end of about eight months I found I felt as well as I ever did. My weight had increased fully twenty pounds, and I could safely say that you had effected a perfect cure in my case.

Gentlemen—I was sick for over three years with nervous complaint, with blind dizzy spells, palpitation of the heart, pain in the back and head, and at times would have such a weak tired feeling when I first got up in the morning, and at times nervous chills. At other times, I would feel as if there were a tight bandage around my forehead.

The first physician I went to said I had nervous dyspepsia; the next one did not say what he thought ailed me; the third said I had dyspepsia, but none of them did me any good. As soon as I commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, I began to get better; could sleep well nights, and that bad nervous feeling and the pain in my back soon left me. I can walk several miles without getting tired. I took in all, three bottles of the "Favorite Prescription" and two of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery.

Gentlemen—When I applied to you for medical treatment I was in a very bad state. Your suggestion that I use Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery was followed with good results, and I can say I felt the effects of it before the first bottle was finished. The dull pains in my back were leaving me very fast. I used three bottles of the "Golden Medical Discovery." I had a dull pain in the back, restless sleep followed by very trying dreams, appetite poor, weakness, consequently very easily tired. Now I can go about my work, walk twelve or fifteen miles a day and not feel tired. When I commenced to use your "Golden Medical Discovery" I only weighed 125 pounds; now have increased to 150.

Gentlemen—I had been ailing for months and did not know what was the matter. I had a heavy and languid feeling; dimness of sight, spots and flashes before my eyes; an "all gone" feeling in my stomach as if the bottom had fallen out; was nervous and irritable and felt like sinking down when at work. I could hardly get up in the morning; it seemed as if I were more tired then I was when I went to bed. My appetite at times was ravenous, and at other times the smell of food made me sick; I would often go from the dinner table and vomit. I would have spells when it seemed that every man was my foe and would be melancholy, and think that something was going to happen to me; was easily upset, could not get my mind to stay on anything long at a time. When I read about your remedies, I made up my mind to try them. After taking one month's treatment I felt better, and kept on until I had taken three months' treatment and was made a new man. I would advise any one who is in bad health to do the same, and will assure them that Dr. Pierce is a gentleman, and will do Just what he says, as he did in my case.

Dear Sir—My case was a complication of diseases—a general break-down, lasting three years. I placed myself under the treatment of four different physicians. At last, giving up all hope of recovery at home, I was making arrangements to go to a Sanitarium in Michigan for special treatment. One of your small books with blank enclosed was handed to me; I filled out the blank, and thought I would try rather than leave home and little ones,—"Happy decision;" two months' special treatment and I was well and happy, and to-day, I have the very best of health.

His home physician said "will run into paralysis." Analysis of the urine shows phosphatic deposits. Began treatment with specialists of Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, in August, '87; used the remedies interruptedly for about six months. Writes May 11th, '89, "have not had a dizzy spell for a year." In October,'90, writes, "the dizzy spells have gone for good, I hope."

Cured by Six Bottles of the "Golden Medical Discovery."

Mr. C. Allison Roberts, of Cassville, White Co., Tenn., suffered a great deal from rheumatism, he says: "Legs ached more like toothache than anything I can think of, the thigh bones throbbing and paining; had pains in hips, back, arms and shoulders." His symptoms also showed that the heart was affected. Had chills, headache often and sometimes sick headache. Bowels were costive and irregular. Food distressed and could not eat meat; urine milky; coughed in early part of night, and feet and legs would become numb. Had difficulty in getting to sleep before midnight, and was restless through the night and dreamed much. Had sinking spells which lasted for thirty minutes. Turned pale, became trembly and sometimes vomited his food.

Almost immediately after beginning the use of the "Golden Medical Discovery" the headache ceased. After using four bottles, reported that he had been benefited by the remedy. Later he reported: "I have been in reasonable health for some time. I took six bottles of the 'Golden Medical Discovery' and it cured the rheumatism entirely. I had suffered with it for several years and found no relief until I used your medicine. Have no weak nor nervous symptoms now, and no spells of turning sick at the stomach, or of bad action of the heart, palpitation, etc."

Gentlemen—My health was utterly gone. Was suffering from nervousness, female troubles and nasal catarrh; life was almost a burden to me, but a glorious change came, due solely to Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy. I have suffered more than tongue can ever tell. I have been treated by good physicians but they only help me temporarily. I have taken a great many patent medicines with the same result. In 1890, I began taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription and Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, which gave me immediate relief and a permanent cure.

Gentlemen—It is now about six months since I discontinued your treatment, and as I have had no return of the old symptoms, I consider it unnecessary to take more medicine. When I visited your Institution some two years ago, I had but faint hopes of ever being restored to health, as I was suffering from a complication of diseases. My case was an unusually obstinate one, yet I am satisfied that a cure could have been accomplished in half the time, had I been able to follow your directions in regard to diet more closely. I hereby tender you my sincerest thanks for the kind treatment received while at your Institution. Those days will always be the happiest in my memory. I will close by giving your faculty my sincere thanks, and hope success will crown your business.

Gentlemen—It is now sixteen years since I suffered from that terrible disease, nervous prostration. I suffered untold agony and thought I would go insane. Had a terrible burning sensation across my shoulders, and my head felt large as two, and as if there was a hole from one ear to the other and all sounds passed right through. I could not see, nor sleep, nor scarcely eat, and was that nervous the least thing made me angry. I was treated by our home physician and given up as incurable. At that time I saw your Memorandum Book and thought I would write you, and the result of it was you took my case.

After one month of your valuable remedies I felt like a new person, and after six months was restored to good health again after suffering nearly one year of untold agony.

I would heartily recommend all and every one suffering from any chronic disease to place their case in the hands of the World's Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, N.Y., as I cannot praise your treatment too highly. Words are inadequate to express the gratitude I owe you in so successfully treating my case.

Gentlemen—I commenced treatment, I think, in July or August, of 1888, and continued four months. My case was nervous debility of fifteen years' standing.

I tried home doctors but found they were only aggravating my case. I also tried the Remedy Company, then of St. Louis, who claimed to perform wonderful cures with their "Pastiles," but they proved utterly worthless. Having come in possession of Dr. Pierce's little book and circulars, a perusal of the same convinced me that my health would not be trifled with at his Institution.

I was a poor man and could not afford much experimenting. I ordered one month's treatment, and at the end of this first month, I found, to my surprise, that I was feeling different. The second month, still more surprised at my returning health. Third month thought I was cured, and engaged myself to a young lady, and wrote you to that effect, and you advised me with your congratulations to marry, and to order another month's treatment; and at the end of the fourth month I was aman, something I did not know what it would be like to be before.

I have now been married five years, and have two healthy children—a boy and a girl. I would never have dared to marry had it not been for your medicines. I must add that during this treatment I was troubled with varicocele on left side. I wrote you this at third month of treatment, and you sent without extra charge, a Suspensory and Lotion, and two months' treatment cured me sound and well of this distressing malady; I have not felt the least symptoms of its return.

I want the world to know what a competent and honorable firm the World's Dispensary Medical Association is. I would love to shake you by the hand. May God let you continue to be a help to mankind is my prayer.

Gentlemen—I can bear testimony to the removal of varicocele, for which you treated me. I had been in the habit of getting out with the boys and trying to see which could kick the highest with one foot on the ground, and it caused me to have varicocele. I went to my home doctor and he treated me with no success. It was getting worse all the time and I got out of shape all over. My health got bad and I thought my case hopeless. I had tried two doctors and received no benefit.

I had one of your little Memorandum Books in my pocket, and one day, looking through it I saw you treated such cases, and wrote you and received word in a few days that you would treat me, so I sent off for one month's treatment; and in five months I had gained my weight back, and that was eight years ago and I feel sound and well and my health has been good ever since.

You are at liberty to use my testimony in whatever way it may be of most benefit to you.

I also enclose a photograph of myself that was taken soon after your treatment.

With feelings of much gratefulness, I am.

Gentlemen—After being a sufferer from debility and general weakness for fifteen years, I found a radical cure in the treatment I received from you at my own home. The first supply of medicine seemed to start me on the road, and the wheel was kept turning till I reached the happy condition of health.

I hope this will meet the eyes of some of my old comrades, who have been to the eastern countries, and there lost their health, as I did, and as many others do.

Gentlemen, I wish again to thank you most kindly for your good treatment and thoughtful attention. I will enclose my photograph. I am,

Yours truly,G.W. WHITROD,Rockland, St. Andrews, Attleboro, Norfolk, Eng.

Gentlemen—About a year ago I found myself a victim of Nervous Debility. For some time I hardly knew what course to pursue, nearly every paper I might pick up contained some advertisement that would cure me. But believing in the old adage, "never expect to get something for nothing," I decided to write to an Association thatI knewwas reliable.

Acting accordingly, I took a course of four months' treatment, which I am pleased to state has given me in return a perfect cure. Thanks to the medical skill of your Faculty.

Yours truly,C.M. GATES,Girard, Macoupin Co., Ill.

Gentlemen—Your letter inquiring about my health, came duly to hand a few days ago. In answer permit me to say that the three months' course of treatment effected a cure. Now my general health is good, body strengthened, mind clear, memory revived, and energy to work restored; cheerfulness and bright hopes, once lost, are now fully regained. My case was a complicated one of Liver disease and general effects of bad habits and usage, yet I was not too far gone to be restored by your wonderful treatment. My prayer is that you will ever prove a blessing to mankind.

Yours respectfully,T.M. HUTCHISON,Forest Hill, Summers Co., W. Va.

Gentlemen—I take pleasure in saying that the Invalids' Hotel is the best institution in the world for the cure and treatment of all kinds of chronic diseases. I was afflicted for a long time before I went to your Institution for treatment, and I tried many doctors, but without avail. After being in your Institution two months, I was restored to health, and I am a well man to-day, and take pleasure in giving you many thanks. My difficulty was the result of injury received early in life, and it has been permanently and perfectly cured. With many good wishes and highest recommendations.

When I first wrote to you I thought I was gone beyond the reach of recovery, but, thanks to God, I am to-day a sound man, heartier than I have been for years, and your Institution deserves the credit of it. I will forever remember you, and want you to publish this testimonial for the benefit of others, as there are thousands in the same fix that I was in.

Gentlemen—As regards your medicines I can truthfully say that I consider them good. Three years ago, I was much run-down with indigestion and nervous prostration. I purchased about four bottles of "Golden Medical Discovery" and "Favorite Prescription," and after taking them along with the "Pellets", I felt much improved. Indeed, my friends told me I looked like another woman.

Gentlemen—I am pleased to send you a testimonial regarding the perfect and permanent cure which you have effected in my case.

I suffered from Nervous Debility. The symptoms were prostration, sleeplessness, exhaustion, over-fatigue from mental trouble, overstudy and anxiety, indigestion, dyspepsia, constipation, headache, inability to concentrate the mind, general lassitude, melancholia, backache and pains from the top of my head to the sole of my feet. You treated me about twelve months and effected aperfect cure.

Gentlemen—I take greatest pleasure in making public the most wonderful cure I received at the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute of Buffalo.

I had suffered severely for eight years with a left inguinal hernia; had tried many physicians and medicines, but found only temporary relief. I was greatly run-down, and my nervous system considerably shattered. My friends persuaded me to go to the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute. While there I was operated on by their specialist, and in a few weeks began to gain strength and energy so that I could return home, and have since felt entirely well.

Words could not do justice to my feeling in regard to this institution. There is no place like it for medical aid, and I would urge all invalids to go there, feeling confident that they could no where receive more skillful treatment or more kind attention and care.

Respectfully,A.J. KIDDER,North Yam Hill, Yamhill Co., Oreg.

Dear Sirs—It is now over two years since I first began to feel something the matter with me. I gradually got worse, with a nervous and despondent feeling. I went to a doctor, who said I was suffering from debility and ordered me away. I got a little better and returned to work, but only to get worse again. I then had very restless nights with terrible dreams, and would wake up all in a perspiration. I often wished I was dead. At last, I had to give up work again, and thought that I should never return to it. I was then under several doctors, but they did me no good. I then came across a little book from your Association, and seeing cases like mine cured, I determined to come to London and see you. I was then under your treatment for three months at my home, taking your medicines and adhering to your rules. I felt a change the first week, and after three months' treatment I was restored to health. It is now four months since I took any of your medicine, and have not had any symptoms return. I am now at work again, and enjoying life the same as anyone else. I thank you very much for your kind attention. I remain,

Yours truly, G. DANCY,25, Merton Road, Stanford Road, Kensington, W. London.

Nervous Exhaustion.

Gentlemen—For several years I was a sufferer from some constitutional disease, or combination of diseases, which rendered life miserable at times. Dyspepsia, headache, dizziness, irritability and gloomy forebodings were among the symptoms I suffered. By chance, one of the pamphlets you publish fell into my hands, and I was induced to write you, describing my condition as best I could, and consequently I was treated by your Specialists.

When I had been treated for two months I felt so well and the symptoms were so far gone that I felt I was cured and quit taking medicine. As this was more than two years ago time has proved that I was correct, for I am a healthy, robust man to-day—thanks to you and to your associates in the noble Institution which you have established for suffering humanity.

Gentlemen—It is with pleasure that I add my testimony to your list, hoping it may contribute to your success and induce others to avail themselves of the benefit of your invaluable medicines. In June, 1890, I took typhoid fever of malignant type; for two months I hovered between life and death; at length the fever left me in a prostrated condition. Then I was taken with a severe pain in my back and general nervous prostration; could not move myself in bed nor bear to be moved by the most careful nurses without experiencing excruciating pain. I had the best medical attention in the community, but they failed to give relief. My friends wrote to Dr. Pierce, stating my condition and requesting treatment for me. He treated me for two months; by that time I had so much improved that I did not think it worth while to continue the treatment longer, and my health has been such that I have not had occasion to lie in bed two days together since. I feel under lasting obligations to Dr. Pierce, and thank God for blessing the world with so able a physician.

Gentlemen—For a long time I was suffering from indigestion, catarrh and nervousness. I was so run down that I could not go to school, and, as the various remedies I tried did me no good, I applied to you, and was advised to try a course of special treatment. After taking only two months' medicines from your noble institution, I feel perfectly restored to health. I have, moreover, recovered my lost flesh, and I am pleased to say need no further medicines.

Gentlemen—I was run down entirely, losing my flesh and getting weak and nervous, and had hard work to draw a long breath; could hardly breathe at all, and came nearly dying once or twice. Had tried many kinds of patent medicines—many doctors, all in vain.

One day I saw an advertisement in a newspaper, about "If you are run down and losing flesh, use 'Golden Medical Discovery.'" I, like a drowning man, would grab at anything on sight. So I went to my druggist and asked him for "Golden Medical Discovery," and he had it and I bought one bottle and followed the directions and it did me good at first start; so I bought two bottles every month until I had used about six bottles, then I had my strength back and could draw my breath and felt like a new man.

Gentlemen—One could scarcely discharge a more pleasant duty to a suffering fellow being than to direct them to a place of relief. Hence, I desire to state that a short time ago, life was almost a burden to mo until I began taking treatment for nervous exhaustion from Dr. Pierce of the Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, at Buffalo, N.Y., and can conscientiously say at the end of six weeks, I feel like another being.

I have also consulted Dr. Pierce on numerous occasions during the past eight years, and at no time whatever have I known his remedies to fail, more especially, his "Favorite Prescription," (which I have used in my practice), and the "Golden Medical Discovery," when taken according to directions.

These remedies will in no event disappoint. I am now In the enjoyment of perfect health—a blessing which I attribute to the kind Providence which directed me to the World's Dispensary Medical Association.

Yours gratefully,SARAH BARNHARDT,Grand Rapids, Mich.

Gentlemen—It is over a year now since I applied to you for help and it is more than six months since I reported myself as well. I have worked very hard since then, and still have continued well all the time.

When I called upon you for treatment I was in a terrible condition. I was subject to severe headaches; was troubled with a tired, an almost lifeless feeling, and although I slept,I could not get rest. I was nervous and fretful, and could not do as much work as I wanted to do. To tell it all in a few wordsI was all run down. I had never wholly recovered from the grip, which left me in a very poor condition; and that, together with over-work and insufficient physical exercise, had put me in such a condition that I was almost unfit to teach my school.

After five months' treatment (one month intervening in which I received none) I considered myself well, and I think that I was right. I feel very grateful to you for your treatment of me, and shall ever be willing to speak a good word for you.

Yours respectfully,WILLIAM E. DIXON,Harwich Port, Barnstable County, Mass.

Dear Sir—After being troubled with my head for two years and taking treatment with ten different doctors and getting no help, I started for your city, but allowed myself to be talked out of seeing you by a man on the train; stopped off at Lancaster and saw Dr. ——, took one month's treatment with no benefit—grew worse.

After that, started once more, did not tell where I was going. I was a complete wreck—had to be helped on board of the cars. You looked me over carefully—you seemed to know just what the trouble was. Gave me medicine for a month's treatment. I came back homo and took the medicine. Well, I was surprised the first week and have been ever since—gained right along. Have been well ever since and all for one month's treatment, for which I thank you very much.

Gentlemen—It is now about eighteen months since I discontinued the use of your medicines. I can truly say I feel like a new man. I have none of that wakefulness at night, or the tired feeling when I get up of a morning. Now, I can work hard all day, go to bed at night tired, wake up the next morning rested and refreshed, though I took but two months' treatment; its value to me I am not able to estimate; before and during treatment I weighed about 160 pounds, and now I weigh 185 pounds.

SEVERE NERVOUS PROSTRATION.

Illustration: Mrs. Austin.Mrs. Austin.

Gentlemen—About eighteen years ago, after the birth of one of my children I was left in a weak, run-down condition; it seemed to me that my nerves were unstrung very bad: I did not suffer much pain, but I think I suffered everything any one could suffer with nervousness; my life was a misery to me. I doctored with seven different doctors and got no relief; then I took almost all kinds of patent medicines and got no relief from them, but got worse all the time, when I chanced to get one of your little pamphlets.

I thought I would write to you, and waited as I thought to hear that there was no help for me; when my answer came and you said you could cure me great was my joy. I had taken your medicine about a month when I began to improve and in a few months was entirely cured.

My recovery was like coming out of the dark into the light, so great was the change. I will advise all sufferers to go to you for relief—I don't think they will be disappointed. When I commenced taking your medicine I weighed 94 pounds, now I weigh 125 pounds.

I do not know how to thank you for all the good your remedies did me, With heart-felt thanks I am.

Sincerely yours,MRS. AMANDA C. AUSTIN,Burden, Cowley Co., Kansas.

P.S.—I have a lady friend who is taking Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription now, and last summer every one thought she was going with consumption; four of her father's family had died with it in five years: she has taken one bottle of "Favorite Prescription," and now she is better in health than she has been in three years.

Your advertisement fell into my hands; at the time I did not know what to do because all my money had gone for medicine, but money was no object to me. I could not rest till I was cured.

Your treatment, which I received, cured me in a short time, and I am just as good as ever. I come before the public to advise anyone in need of treatment to give you the first chance, and he will find relief for I believe that nowhere can one obtain more skillful care or more kindly attention. Hoping that success will crown your business, I am,

Mr. J.T. TOWNSEND, ofNoah, Coffee County, Tenn., consulted us by letter. He was suffering from great nervous prostration; could not walk without tottering: was troubled greatly with inability to sleep; poor appetite; did not relish food; suffered much pain and stiffness in the joints; was overcome with heat working on a thresher, followed by persistent nausea, confusion of ideas, his memory being very defective.

After taking a single course of treatment, the medicines being sent by express, he writes as follows: "The medicine you sent me lasted me five weeks, and proved very beneficial indeed. I believe it, under God, was the means of saving me from a premature grave. When I received the medicine, I had just gotten rid of an attack of bilious fever, which left me in a deplorable condition. I was very week and nervous, but my improvement commenced with the first dose of your medicine, so by the time my medicine was out felt better than I had for years, and now have no indication of a return of my trouble." A month later he writes: "I continue to enjoy the most perfect health. Every organ of my body, and every faculty of my mind, is in splendid condition, which makes life worth living. I have gained twenty-one pounds since I have been able to attend to business. Please accept my profound thanks for your promptness in sending me my medicines."
