TO H. LEE.


Some time last spring was afflicted with
loss of appetite, giddiness in the head, fever,
and great debility, so that | could scarcely
walk. In this distressing situation ! took
many things, but without benefit. An &C.
quaintance in the couRtry sent 10 me to pro-
cure box of Hamilton's Lozenges. Curicsi-e
ty prompted me TO read the directions, where
fonnd my complaint exactly described by
the doctor. Immediately sent for another
box of the Lozeases, ard took one dose,
which brought away a large quantity of
worms, and felt greatly relieved. Encou-
ragged by this, took another dose, which
was attended with the happiest effects, as 1t
relieved me entirely, and am now In better
state of health than for considerable time
past. / have since given them to my chill
dren, and can speak from experience, that
they are a most valuable medicine, and am
hapft to add my testimony to numberless
ethers b their efficacy.
