various medicines prescribed by different ply.
sicians, which gave her no relief, she was

was gradually failing, when happened to
cali upon your agent in this village, and he
gave me copy Of the Good Samaritan, the
pcrusing of which induced mo to try your
medicine, although had but little hope of
her receiving any benefit from il. The effect

so far recovered as to be able to accomplish
