ASTHMA, THREE YEAPS'STANDING

ASTHMA, THREE YEARS STANDING.
ROBERT MONROE, Schuylkill, afflicted with
the above distressing malady. Symptoms:-Great
~langour, fatulency, disturbed rest, nervous head
ache, difficulty of breathing, tightness and structure
across the breast, dizziness, nervous irritability and
restlessness, could not lie in a horizontal position
without the sensation of impending suffocation, pal
pitation of the heart, distressing cough, costiveness,
pain Of the stomach, drowsiness. great debility, and
deficiency of the nervous energy. Mr.. K. Monroe
gave up every thought of recovery, and dire despair
sat on the countenance of every person interested
in his existence or happiness, till by accident he no.
ticed IN a public paper some cures effected by DIR.
VIM. EVANS MEDICINE in his complaint, which in
duced him to purchase a package of the Pills, which
resulted in completely removing every symptom of
his disease. He wishes to say his motive for this
declaration is, that those afflicted with the same or
any symptoms similar to those from which he is
happily restored, may likewise receive the same in
i estimable benefit.
PARALYTIC RHEUAfA TLSM.-A perfect
cure effected by the treatment of DR.. WIN. EVANS.
JoHN GIBSON, of North Fourth street, Viii
n liamsburg, afflicted with the above complaint for
4 three years and nine months; during which time
he had to use crutches. His chief symptoms were
excru.iating pain in all his joints, but especially in
the hip, shoulder, knees, and ankles, an aggfava-
ton of the pains towards night; and for the most
part all times from external heat, an obvious thick
ening of the fascia and ligaments, with a complete
loss of muscular power. For the benefit Of those
afflicted in a similar manner, Mr.. Gibson conceives
it meet to say that the pains have entirely ceased,
and that his joints have completely recovered their
natural tone, and he feels able to resume his ordi-
nary business.
