To Mr.. Samuel Young. Agent for the Hygeian vege.
table Universal Medicines, for the State OF Rhode
Island.
sIR-Gratitude to the Great Preserver of Men com
pels me, in compliance with your request, to give q
brief statement of u cure. which, l think, I received
from the Hygeian Medicines. l give publicity to the
same the more cheerfnlly; because thereby, perhaps,
l may be usefui to some Of my fellow.men, who may
be afflicted with a similar disease.
My'complaint was called Pulmonary Consumption,
and that my real condition may be explicitly under
stood, l state, in connection with the relation of the
cure, some of the symptoms of the disease. In Sep.
tember, 1882, | caught q severe cold, which settled on
my lungs; | was confined to my room about one week,
with a fever, attended with considerable cough; my
cough soon abated. and apparently, l was regaining
my health; when, after about three weeks, in the
course of the night, having returned the evening be-
fore in usual health. l found myself bleeding at the
lungs. [ had not, to my knowledge, received any hurt
or strain, to which the cause of this might be attribut.
ed. Ispat blood, occasionally, for four days; it left
me with some fever, pain in the breast, very little ap-
petite, and withal, very weak.
A few weeks determined that I was in a decline. /
received the attention of the most skilful Physicians,
who often seemed to check the progress of the dis.
ease, and inspire the hope ofa speedy recovery. But
relapse upon relapse, and each bringing me lower
than the preceding, seemed 20 battle all human skill,
and warn me of an approaching dissolution. Thus,
months after the first attack, a . tubercle" lsmall u-
cer] broke in the lnngs, after which l spat blood, one
day. ! continued to decline twomonths longer, when
| obtained the Hygeian Medicines. had now been
unable to sit up a whole day, for four months and a
half. Ny feet were cold and lifeless, sleep unsound,
cold night sweats constant, tongue furred, pulse in the
afternoon from seventy-fve to one hundred per mi.
mute, food produced great distress, appetite very
poor, pain in the breast directly opposite the heart,
attended with some cough, &c. &c. Such was my
condition, when l first became acquainted with the
Hygelan Medicines. | commenced taking the medi.
cines, four pills at a dose, and increased the dose dai.
ly, one up to the number Of twelve. In about ten
days, my appetite became good, and food produced
no distress, sleep soon became sound and refreshing,
and in about forty days the symptoms of the disease
had nearly ali disappeared.
took the medicine sixty days regularly every night,
averaging about ten pills at a dose; the greatest num-.
Der taken at any one time was fifteen. After this, ]
took about four doses a week, until l had taken about
thirteen hundred pills, when l found myself restored
to health. After | commenced the Hygeian, | took
no other medicine. One year from the first attack,
was able to resume my studies in college, where /
have since remained without any recurrence of the
disease. Hitherto l have been convalescent; and if
my strength is not yet fully returned, | am certain l
have less pains, and am more free from temporary
sickness, than at any time since my earliest recollec.
ton. Yours, with respect,
HORACE I. LOVE.

Dear sir-I wish to state that my sister. after severe
suffering, and employing a medical man three years,

Her complaint was a violent pain and soreness in her
side; indeed, to use her own expression, her IS on
one side had turned in, actually deformed. The pain
was a violent burning pain, almost intolerable; so see
we're, that she could not sit up for upwards Of three
years. 1t was occssioned by over.lacing hers G If, and
perhaps, over exertion with it. After using q few,
doses of No. l and 2, alternately, about eight pills for
a dose, the pain decreased, and, by perseverance in
their use, she is now restored to health; and l have
no objection to this case being made public for the
benefit at Othars. and am dear cir ynura tn1v

In justice to DR.. W., her medical adviser, when he
heard her improvement in health, he ommeD
perseverance IN the use of he medicines.
This valuable Medicine, being composed only of
vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted,
on oath, as containing not one particle of mercurial,
mineral, or chemical substances, Gall of which are un. |
consenialt TO the nature OF man, and therefore destfuc. |
tive to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly
harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un.
der every stage o fhuman suffering; the most pleasant
and benign in its operation, and at the same time the
most searching out the root of every complaint, how. |
ever deep, and of performing a cure, that was ever
offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is |
produced by the least trouble to the patients, by |
merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and
being called q few extra times to the purposes of eva.
%cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or
exhaustion of bodily strength, and without the fear of
catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way
different from their accustomed habits.
These pills cure all cases, and cannot be taken to
excess Experience, which is the tombstone of all
human knowledge, has long borne testimony to the
fact; and extensive use Of them has already verified
its truth in this country.
These medicines cure by ~purging; and yet the weak,
the feeble, the infrm, the nervous, the delicate, are
in a few days strengthened by their operation, because
they clear the body Of its bad humours, and invariably
procure sound sleep. They are the safest and most
etficaclous menicine to take to sea; preventing scurvy,
&c.
The Vegetable Cleansing Powders are of great as
slstance to patients, and facilitate the evacuation of
bad humours; they soften, cleanse, and detach the
acrimonious phlegm; are cooling, and allay the thirst.
One, two, or three powders may be taken throughout
the day, mixed in ha!fa wine glass of water.
The genuine Medicines can be had of
