has continued free from them since

Ihave seen Mr.. Woods child repeatedly
since, and aver that she was entirely cured by
DIR. Howell, as represented in the aforesaid
statement.
The case Of Mr. Woods child, while il may
Justly excite our admiration, IS one which |
consider as marked with striking features. At
the early age of four months she was seized
with fits, and suffered to distressing degree. by
the violence of the paroxysms Notwithstasd-
ing the efforts OF three very respectable pro.
fessonal gentlemen, the paroxysms continued
TO recur after the usual intervals and with the
usual degree Of violence. This state of things
continued until the child reached her Ord year,
that is, for more than two years. DR. Howell
was at length consulted, but at time when lit.
lie hopes were entertained by the family that
any ehectual Service could be rendered by hu.
man agency. But To the self graduation Of The
parents and the happiness oflhe little sufferer,
complete, efiectual, aud permanent relief was
almost Immediately obtained. After the exhi-

since elapsed without a return ofthe paroxysm,
or even a symptom of the complaint. Hav-

DR.. John B HoWeH,
DEAR SiR-You have requested my opinion
on the character of your Vegetable Family
Pills. In reply, am able TO State. that have
made use of them for number of years in my
own particular use, besides administering them
20 great number of persons under a variety OF
forms of disease, and always with the happeSl
results. One particular aud remarkable case
was that of Miss S.. This lady was afflict.
ed for period OF tive years, with glandular
swellings of very large size, which, after be-
ing fully developed, broke and discharged a
great deal OF matter, by which she was reduced
10 a very low and weakly state. The approach
OF the tumors was announced by pricking sen.
Sation or itching on the surface, inflammation
then proceeded rapidly, until they were fully
formed. Whenever the itching was perceived,
her practice WAS 10 take one pill and by the
use of the pills Ion twelve weeks taking only
two a week, the growth otthe tumors was ar
rested, and their subsequent appearance en-
tirely prevented after which she continued TO
mend and gained strength very rapidly. Pre-
vious to this, she had been attended bya very
respectable medical gentleman but without ef.
fect-and to the use of the Family Pills alone,
do not hesitate TO ascribe her extraordinary
restoration.
Another case was that of child subject to
JUS, in which instance they did not fail to &C.
compilsh complete cure. | have exhibited
them in Dysentery, Billions complaints, DeblIi-
W, and Organic arrangement, with very dcci
ded effects, and feel no hesitation in recommen-
ding them as valuable medicine 10 the afo:e
said complaints and wherever mild purga.
i've is required.
With sentiments ofesteem,
Respectfully yours,
