WArERvILLE, July 49,, 1o37.-Sr: Although

of medicine by laymen, in any manner; and

Used. Yet llayellately seen such beneficial eff
fects, resulting from the use of your Life Pills,
that am constrained to discard my preiudiccs
and to declare, that they are worth more than
all the patent medicines have ever seen or
heard of
The case | allude to, particularly, was that
OF an adult person, laboring under every symp-
tom of worms. He was much cmacated, was
very feeble and suffered at times extreme and
agonisng pain. Three successive doses of your
pills, We're 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 APP
pilcable with general good success: their ope-

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.

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 very high opinion of them. Yours, &c.
