LETTER FROM DR.. CLEVELAND.
WATERvILLE, July 10, 1637.--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 putron.
Used. Yet have lately seen such beneficial ef-
fects 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.
The case alludc 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 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 APP
pilcable, with general good success their ope-
than any other cathartc remedy have any
knowledge of. l have also furnished other
physicians with them, and persuaded them to
use them, in their practice. And l 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 topublish 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.

ceeding from Reorganization Of the digestive
power, and after having tried many remedies
prescribed by respectable physicians, l was in
duced, from my personal knowledge of your
own case, to try the same remedies that you in
formed me succeeded IN curing you: there
! fore used a few of your Vegetable Life Pills
and the Phoenix Btters; they are the only Icm-
edies that have used, that have afforded any
thing like permanent relief. have great con-
/ fidcnce in them, and intend continuing their
use. Yours, &c.

LETTER FROM THE REV. ROBERT SMITH.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 10Th. 1S37.-To DIR. Nor
FATT.-Dear Sir: feel it duty l owe tt the
public and yourself, to place at your disposal a
case Of somewhat novel character, in which
your Lille Pills" have performed a cure that
no other medicine know Of could have e..fec
ted. 1t is as follows About the last Of Jun,
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 | am convinced contained the "ka!mia."
In both cases violent nervous prostration was
the consequence. The latter case was exceed
ingly violent and Of long continuance. 1t seem
ed at times that my nervous system was entire
lv prostratcd-so much SO that was incapa BILE
of any active cxertion 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 :;
now can sing by the hour, read at the top of
my voice for a day, and was going to say run
mile no cxertion has the slightest unplcas-
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.
I TO Mr.. J. MoFFAT.-Dear Sir: Above you
will find certificate from the Rev. Robert
Smith, of this city. He states in addition that
he was troubl d with a fullness Of the head,
amounting almost to suffocation. which was
happily relieved by the use of your pills. Yours,
&c. l.. F. w. ANDREWS, Agt.
