| LETTER FROM DR.. CLEVELAND.
! WATERylLLE, July 10, 1837.-Sr: Although
Physicians do not often approve of the practice
of medicine by hymen, in any manner; and
have myself been accustomed to consider all
such as quacks, and therefore not to be patron-
Used. Yet have lately seen such beneficial ef-
fects, resulting from the use of your Life Pills,
that | am constrained to discard my pref udices
and to declare, that they are worth more than
! ell the patent medicines have ever seen or
heard of.
| The case l allude to, particularly, was that
OF an adult person, laboring under every symp-
tom of worms. He was much emaciated, was
I very feeble and suffered at times extreme and
agonisng pain. Three successive doses of your
pills, were administered to him which succeed.
! ed in cxpelling 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.
| picable, with general good success: their ope-
lation is very mild, producing less irritation
than any other cathartc remedy | have any
| knowledge of. | have also furnished other
| n ci.r IeI to
use them, in their practice. And | can assure
they are gaining 'apidiy in public estimation.
have not written this for the purpose OF
certificate, but if you think proper you are at
liberty topubllsh 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 very high opinion Of them. Yours, &c.
