e LETTER from DIR. CLEVELAND.
81 WATERvILLE, July 10, 1897. Sir: Although
Physicians do not often approve OF the practice
of medicine by la1aae,s, in any manner; andI
have myself been accustomed to consider all
such as quacks, and therefore not TO be patrons
ised Yet j have lately seen such beneficial eff
fleets, resulting from the use of your Life Pills,
that 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.
z The case Ialludc 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,
recovered his health and strength though he
had before tried many prescriptions, without
any relief. ta B ,aT
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 1 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.
j j have not written this for the purpose OF u
certificate, but if you think proper you are at
liberty topublish it, and may add also the tes-
timony of my brother, who is also a physician
has very high opinion Of them. Yours, &c.

FArT.-Dear Sir: feel it duty owe to the
public and yourself, to place at your disposal a
case of a somewhat novel character, in wll.ch

an application applied to the .cp OF my head,
which / am convincedcontained the t'Kalmia. y
In both cases violent nervous prostration was
the consequence. The latter case was exceed
ingiy violent and of long continuance. It seem
ed at times that my nervous system was entire
ly prostrated--so much SO that was incapable
of any active exe:tica fer some two or three
weeks. These symptoms l 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 s.Lite Pilis5 have restor
before taking them could neither sing, read
loud, walk fast, or use any kind ofiexertion

my voice for day, and was going to say run
a mile; no exertion has the slightest unpleas-
ant effect. ! consider your s'Life Pills. the
best medicine of which have any knowledge,
and would not be deprived of them for any
consideration. Yours truly, RonERr SMITH.

of Ncwburyport, one of Mr.. MoFFATT's A
gents. Rumney, February 9, 1887.
SIR-You may probably recolcct having
seen me at your store on the lst Of July last,
when Twas in very poor health, and purchased
three boxes of the Vegetable Life Pills, pre-
pared by DR.. MoFFATT, of New York. Illaye
now the pleasure to say, that they have given
great satisfaction in my family, and in several
cases in which / have lie tiny neighbors have
them; they have had better effect than any
other medicine they ever tried. Ny 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 expo
rienced SO much benefit from them, that think
it my duty to introduce them into general use
here, as the best service can render to my fell
low citizens.
With sincerity and respect, Yours, &C.,
