WATERv1LLE, July 10, 1837.-Sir: Although
| Physicians do not often approve of the practice
of medicine by aymen in any manner; and

Used. Yet have lately seen such beneficial ef-
fects resulting from the use of your Life Pills,
that am constrained to discard my prejudices
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 emacated, 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
Since that have used them in every variety
of complaint, where cathartic medicines are ap-
pilcable, with general good success: their ope-

than any other cathartic remedy | 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.

LETTER FROM THE REV. ROBERT SMITH.
BALTIMORE, Jan. 10Th. 1837.-To DR.. Nor
rArr.-Dear Sir: feel it duty / owe to the
public and yourself, to place at your disposal
case of somewhat novel character, in who
your Life Pills. have performed cure that
no other medicine know of could have effec

ult. was poisoned by the flowers OF s'Kalmia
Latifola, ''* and again in October following by
an application applied to the top of my head,
which am convinced contained the 'Kalmia.' -
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
~ prostrated-so much so that was incapable
of any active exertion for 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 ''Lfe Pills" have rcstor-
ed me to full health and yigor 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 day, and was going to say run
a mile no exertion has the slightest unpleas-
ant effect. | consider your 'tLife Pills. the
best medicine of which have any knowledge
and | would not be deprived of them for any
consideration Yours truly, ROBERT SMITH.

SIR--You may probably recollect having
seen me at your store on the LIST of July last,
when was in very poor health, and purchased
three boxes of the Vegetable Life Pills, pre-
pared by DR.. MoFFATT, of New York. 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
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, those pills have contribu-
ted very much to my comfort. I wish you
therefore to send me some more, for which i
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.,
