'West Orchard, Coy( ntry,Jsn. 6, 18d3.
"It is with pleasure I write to inform you of my conir.le .
cure. L have been afflicted for six years with ulcers, ex-
tending from my ankles to my hips. After having been
under the te o head doctors in Coventry, and tried numer-
ous advertised remedies, all of which failed, I pi °cured
a large bottle of yonr Blood Mixture, and received great
benefit directly I took it, and am happy to tell you that
one large and two small bottles completely cured m,3, acd
I have not got a sore upon me. I am now able to walk,
without my crutch and stick, which I have not been able
to do for six years. You can make use of my name anyhow
you like, so thankful am I,
Yours truly, "Jaws HUGHES."
I MPORTANT ADVICE TO ALL.—Cleanse the vitiated
blood whenever you find its impurities bursting
through the skin in pimpl s, eruptions, or sores,
cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggist
in the veins ;cleanse it when it is foul, and you]
feelings w.ll tell you w- en. Keep the blood pure,
and t, e healh of the system will ,ollow.
As this mixture is phaaant to the taste, and
warranted tree from anything injurious to the mds
delicate constition of either sex, the Propnetor,
solicit sufferers to give it a trial to testi s value.
