CASE OF CURE.
Selected from a numerOus list.


John Hoover, rope-naker, South Sc
cond street, between Mary and Christian
streets, Philadelphia, voluntarily maketh
oath as follows namely-that his wife,
Mary Hoover, was so severely afflicted
with violent Rheumatism, very dangerous
ly situated, the consequence of a severe
cold after lying in, as to be confined to
her bed for several weeks, and was at
length reduced to the melancholy appre-
hension Of remaining a cripple for life,
Notwithstanding the most respectable me-
dical advice was followed, and every pro-
bable remedy attempted; when seeing
several cases of cures performed By Ha-
milton's Essence and extract of Mustard,
they were procured from Mr.. Birch, No.
L., South Second street. The first appli-
cation enabled her to walk across the
room, and the use of one bottle restored
her to her usual state of health and
strength.

Coughs, .astltmas, sore ttroats, and
approacting Consunptions, and most
disorders Of The breast and lungs.
a SINGLE trial will prove, that it
IN restores the determination Of the
fluids to the surface of the body; and
brings on the common healthful perspira-
ton; that it dislodges and eyacuates the
tough viscid phlegm or mucus, strength
ems the weakened vessels of the lungs,
sheathes the acrimonious humor which,
irritates them and finally discharges it.
Thus strikes at the root of the disorder,
the symptoms are of course effectually.
and permanently conquered, the reverse
Of common medicines which weaken the
constitution, and give STRENGTH to the
disorder, for the sake of moderating for
the present some of its painful effects.

TO III. LEE.
Being DESTROYS to make public for the
good OF others the excellent quality of
HAMILTON's ELIXIR, prepared by
the late Mr.. Lee, | have sent you the fol-
lowing account of the benefit have re-
ceived from it; which hope will induce
others to give tia trial. In consequence
of bruiZe on the breast received from
fall, my health grew bad, my breathing
became difficult, and frequently l have
had suddenly to rise up in my bed with
all the horrors of immediate suffocation.
Add to these, a constant pain in my
breast and a cough, great loss of
strength and flesh, and you may conceive
that my symptoms evidently indicated an
approaching consumption. The advice
of a most eminent physician was resorted
to, and afterwards second was called
in, but without giving me any relief.
Another physician, who knew me and
the circumstances of my case, adrised
me to gire Hamilton's Einir trial-
saying, he had used SIT in his practice,
and al,cays foatad it to do much GOOD. A
bottle was procured, and I found relief
before Ihad taken half oft. Icontinued
to use it. and was soon strong enough to
attend to business. On taking cold, some
of my former symptoms return but are al
ways removed by a dose or two of the E.
lixir.
