Used. Yet / have lately seen such beneficial eff
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 emaciated, was
very feeble and suffered at times extreme and
agonsing pain. Three successive doses of your
pills, were administered to him which succeed
cd 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 cathartc medicines APP
pilcable, with general good success: their ope-
lation is very 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 l can assure
they are gaining rapidly in public estimation.
have not written this for the purpose OF
certificate, but if you think proper you are at
liberty topublsh it, and may add also the tes-
timony of my brother, who is also physician
and who has used them in his own family and
has a very high opinion of them. Yours, &c.

Latifoia, "* and again in October following by
an application applied to the top of my head,
which am convinced contained the ''kalma."
in ooth 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

OF any active eXertion 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-
cd 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

my voice for day, and l was going to say run
mile; no exertion has the slightest unpleas-
ant effect. | consider your ''Life Pills." the
best medicine of which have any knowledge,

SlR-You may probably recolloct having
seen me at your store ON the 1st 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 I
great satisfaction in my family, and in several
cases in which l have lie TINY ncghbors have
them they have had better effect than any
other medicine they ever tried. My own health |
is greatly improved, and l have no doubt, with I
the Divine Blessing, those pills have contrbu-
ted very much to my comfort. l wish you
therefore to send me some more, for which |
enclose you the money,~but be particular and
send me none but the GENUINE. l 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 tony fell
low citizens.
With sincerity and respect, Yours, &c.,
