1 LETTER FROM DR.. CLEVELAND.
! !WArERvILLE, July 10, l837.-sir: Although
| Physicians do not often approve Of the practice
of medicine by, laymen, in any manner; and
such as quacks, and therefore not to be patron-
| ised. Yet have lately seen such beneficial eff
fects, resulting from the of your Life Pills,
| chat am constrained to discard my prejudiccs
! and to declare, that they are worth more than
! all the patent medicines | have ever seen or
! heard Of. #
| The case ailude to, particularly, was that
OF an adult person, laboring under every symp-
tom of worms. He was much emaciated, was
! very feeble and suffered at times extreme and
agonising pain. Three successive doses of your
| pills, were administered to him which succeed
ed in expelling 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-
lation is very mild, producing less irritation
than any other cathartic remedy | have any
knowledge of. | have also furnished other
! physicians with them, and persuaded them to
use them, in their practice And | 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 topublish it, and may add also the tcs-
timony Of my brother, who is also physician
and who has used them in his own family and
has a very high opinion of them. Yours, &c.

Latifolia, '* and again in October following by
al application applied 10 the top of my head,
which | am convinced contained the .'Ka lmia. +"
In both cases violent nervous prostration was
I the consequence. The latter case was exceed
ingly violent and of long continuance. 1t SEEM
ed at times that my nervous system was entire
| ly prostrated-so much SO that was incapable
of any active eXertion 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
my voice for day. and was gong to say run
a mile no exertion has the slightest unpleas-
ant effect. | consider your Life Pills. the

and | would not be deprived of them for any
consideration Yours truly, ROBERT SMITH.

great satisfaction in my family, and in several
cases in which | have le TINY neighbors have
them; they have had a better effect than any
other medicine they ever tried My own health
is greatly improved, and 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
enclose you the money; but be particular and
send me none but the. GENUINE. have expe-

tor of the Republican & Journal; Spring
field, Mass.
Springfield, June l, 1887.
Mr.. MoFFATT-Sir: 1t is now thirteen years
that have suffered from an infirmity of the
bowels-the consequences, as suppose of a
sepere illness Of infamnatory 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 counterfeit costiveness |
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
es Of your ''Life Pills. and have found more
benefit from them more relief and adaptedness
to my case. for a length of time, chan from any
medicine have yet tried Yours,
SAMUEL BowLEs.
