LETTER FROM DIR. CLEVELAND.
WATERvlLLE, July 10, l837.--Sir: Although
Physicians do NOT often approve Of the practice
of medicine by laymen, in any manner; and
have myself been accustomed to consider all
such as quacks, and therefore not to be patron
ised. Yet have lately seen such beneficial ef-
fects, resulting from the use of your Life Fills,
that I am constrained to discard my preJudices
and to declare, that they are worth more than
all the patent medicines | have ever seen or
heard of.
The case allnde 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
agonjsing pain Three successive doses of your
pills, were administered to him which succeed
ed in expelIng 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

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 topublsh it, and may add also the tes-
timony of my brother, who is also a physician
and who has used them in his own family and
has very high opinion of them. Yours, &c.

LETTER FROM THE REV. ROBERT SMITH.
BALTIMORE, JAM 18TH 1937.-To DIR. Nor
FArr.-Dear Sir feel it duty owe to the
publ ic and yourself, to place at your disposal a
case of somewhat novel character, in which
your Life Pills" have performed a cure that
no other medicine know of could have effec
ted. It is as follows About the last of JUNE
ult. was poisoned by the flowers of ''Kalmia
Latifolia,''* and again in October following by
an application applied to the top of my head,
which I am convinced contained the 'Kalmia."
In both cases violent nervous prostration was
the consequence. The latter case was exceed
ngly violent and of long continuance. 1t SEEM
ed at times that my nervous system was entire
ly ostrated-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 !;
my voice for day, and was going to say run
a mile no exertion has the slightest unpleas-
ant effect. | consider your "Life Pills. the
best medicine of which have any knowledge,
and l would not be deprived of them for any
consideration. Yours truly, ROBERT SMITH.
Poisonous Laurel.
To Mr.. J. MosFAr.-Dear Sir: Above you
will find certificate from the Rev. Robert
Smith, of this city. He states in addition that
he was tronbled with fullness of the head,
amounting almost to sutfocation, which was
happily relieved by the use Of your pills Yours,

other medicine they ever tried My own health
is greatly improved, and have no doubt, with
the Divine Blessing, those pills have contribu-
