LETTER FROM DIR. CLEVELAND.
i VAUDEVILLE, July 10, 1837.--Sir: Although
Physicians do not often approve OF the practice
of medicine by layanea., in any manner; and
have myself been accustomed to consider all
such as quacks, and therefore not to be patron
iscd. Yet have lately seen such beneficial eff
fects, resulting from the use Of your Life Pills,
that am constrained to discard my pref udlces
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 emaciated, was
very feeble and suffered at times extreme and
agonisng pain. Three successive doses of your
pills, were administered to him which succeed
ed in expelling small teni 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 lss
K Since that have used them in every variety
of complaint, where cathartic medicines are ap-
pilcuble, with general good success: their ope-
1ation syery mild, producing less irritation
than any other cathartic remedy have any
knowledge of l 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.
l. have not written this for the purpose of a
certificate, but if you think proper you are at
liberty topublsh it, and may add also the tcs-.
tirnony 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.

I of Newburypert, one of Mr.. MorFATT's A
gents. Rumney, February 8, 1887.
4 SIR-You may probably recollect having
seen me at your store on the lst Of July last,
when was in very poor health, and purchased
three boxes of the Vegetable Life Pills, pre-
pared by DIR. MoFFATT, of New York. l have
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
4 them; they have had better effect than any
other medicine they ever tried. My own health
is greatly improved, and have NO doubt, with
| the Divine Blessing, these 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 expe-
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.,
EDWARD WEBER
