LETTER FROM DIR. CLEVELAND.
WATERvILLE, July 10, 1S37.--Sir: Although
Physicians do no. 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 PATTON.
ised. Yet have lately seen such beneficial ef-
fects, resulting from the use of your Life Pills,
that am constrained to discard my ejudiccs
and to declare, that they are worth more than
all the patent medicines have ever seen or
heard Of
The case l alludc to, particularly, was that
OF an adult person, aboring 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 a 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 ap-
pilcable, with general good success: their ope-
! 1ation is very mild, producing less Irritation
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 apidly in public estimation.
have not written this for the purpose of
certificate, but if you think proper you are at
liberty topubsh it, and may add also the tes-
tlnlony 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.

Rumney, N. Hampshire, to ANTHONY S. JONES
of Ncwburyport, one of Mr. MoFFArT's A
gents. Rumney, February 8, 1887.
SIR-You may probably recolect having
seen me at your store on the LIST Of July last,
when l 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 a 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. wish you
therefore to send me some more, for which l
enclose you the money; but be particular and
send me none but the GENUINE. l have expo
renccd so much benefit from them, that l think
it my duty to introduce them into general use
here, as the best service can render my fell
low citizens.

every few days to counterfeit costiueness. /
have consulted good physicians, and have tri-
ed almost all the kinds of pills advertised which /
seemed suited to my case, in vain During the
last year, have bought and used several box
es OF your ''Life Pills" and have found more
benefit from them more relief and ada ptedness
to my case. for length of time, than from any
medicine have yet tried. Yours,
