HOLLINGSWORTH'S

AMERICAN INDIAN SUGAR-COATED PILLS
is a statement of cures effected by their use. Read the follow-
ing :—.
" To Messrs. Pearson & Co., 110, London-road, Liverpool.—
Gentlemen,—l have mild) pleasure in making you acquainted
with the great benefits I have realised in the use of Hollings-
worth's American Indian Sugar-coated Pills. For six months
I bad been afflicted with severe pains in my,side, stomach, and
back? attended also with great loss of appetite. In the hope of
alleviating my sufferings, I applied tgveral medical advisers,
tried a variety of means, and spent Mich money, but all to to
6/te good purpose, for notwitlistandin all the medicines I took, I
still got worse; and to such ast of weakness was I reduced,
that it was with great difficu I could walk up stairs. My
stomach so loathed my fo , that I became extremely weak
and hopeless, and expecte of to live to see another Christmas-
day. Providentially ! iced an advertisement in the Liver-
pool Mereurv, desc ing the renovating properties of your
palatable Pills; I cured a box at your establishment, and
made a trial by t Mg a dose morning and evening for about
two weeks, according to the printed directions; and now I am
happy in stating publicly, that the use of the Pills has removed
my distressing pains, and fully restored my appetite, so that I
may say I have risen from neer death's door. Any person
calling at my residence may have every information. Although
the time is so short since I first commenced taking your medi-
cine, I find my strength so increased that I can attend to my
domestic affairs with pleasure. I mean to take a (lose of Pills
daily until I feel not a vestige of my late distressing complaint
remains. You are at liberty to make this public, and use it in
any way you think proper, for the benefit of My fellow-sufferers.
Hoping all that are afflicted as I have been may use and realise
the same benefits from your medicine, I remain,yours grate-

fully, " ELfZAI3ETH WRIGHT.
