The cnse aed in the above certificate under my
observation and believe Alderman Duane's statement
he strictly correct. MIR. Swain showed me two other
cnses nea IL SIMILAR which cured by his Hanacea,
after every other remedy lad failed.
Ayerse As qlackery, hope ever to be preserved

hesitate give my name, in confirmation OF the efficacy
