LETTER FROM DR.. CLEVELAND.
WATERv1LLE, July 10, 1s37-sir: Although
Physicians do not often approve of the practice
of medicine by laynlen, in any manner; and |
have myself been accustomed to consider all
such as quacks, and therefore not to be patron
iscd. Yet have lately seen such beneficial eff
fects, resulting from the use of your Life Pills,
that am constrained to discard my preiudices
ard to declare, that they are worth more than
all the patent medicines have ever seen or
heard OF.
The case alluds to, particularly, was that
of an adult person, laborng under every symp-
tom of worms lie was much emaciated, was
very feeble and suffered at times extreme and
agonsing pain Three successive doses of your
pills, were administered to him which succeed
ed in expelling q small tenia or tape worm,
about three feet long, and the patient speedily
recovered his health and strength though he
had before tried many prescriptions, without
any relief.
Since that have used them in every variety
Of complaint, where cathartic medicines are ap-
pilcable, with general good success: their ope-
1aton is very mild, producing less irritation
than any other cathartic remedy have any
lDIrro of have ole ft1rt, haI Of
physicians with them, and persuaded them to
use them, in their practice. And l can assure
they are gaining rapidly in public estimation.
have not written this for the purpose of a
certificate, but if you think proper you are at
liberty topubIsh it, and may add also the tes-
timony of my brother, who is also physician
and who has used them in his own family and
has 4 very high opinion of them Yours, &c.

an application applied to the top of my head,

In both cases violent nervous prostration was
the consequence. The latter case was exceed
ingly violent and of long continuance. 1t seem
cd at times that my nervous system was entire

Of any active excrtion for some two or three
weeks. These symptoms [ am satisfied could
have been produced by nothing else but the
above named poison. My appetite and health
in all other respects were usually good.
Three doses of your ''Life Pills. have restor-
ed me to full health and vigor For two weeks
before taking them could neither sing, read
loud, walk fast, or use any kind of exertion !;
now can sing by the hour, read at the top Of

consideration. Yours truly, RopERH SMITH.

great satisfaction in my family, and in several

other medicine they ever tried. My own health
is greatly improved, and l have no doubt, with
the Divine Blessing, those pills have contribu-
ted very much to my comfort. | wish you
therefore to send me some more, for which l
| enclose you the money; but be particular and
| send me none but the GENUINE. / have expe-
| rienccd so much benefit from them, that think
it my duty TO introduce them into general use
here, as the best service | can render tony fell

Mr. MoFFATT-s'ir: 1t is now thirteen years
that / have suffered from an infrmity of the
bowels-the consequence, as suppose of a
seuere illness Of infammatory Rheumatism. The
natural action Of the bowels is lost frequent
and severe pains occur, with much weakness
and depression. Cathartics being necessary
every few days to counteract costpeness. I
have consulted good physicians, and have tri-
ed almost all the kinds of pills advertised which
seemed suited to my case, in vain. During the
last year, have bought and used several box
| cs of your ''Life Pills. and have found more
benefit from them more relief and adaptedness

medicine have yet tried. Yours,
