DEAR SIR:-l very cheerfuly add my testimony
with regard to the efficacy Of Dr. Peters medicines
My wife had been for several years suffering and
lingering under the effects of dyspepsia, with its
usual Accomplishments, when, in December, 1885,
purchased OF you one box-from the of which,
her health was far restored that she deemed the
further use Of it at that time unnecessary. On
return Of some symptoms of the disease during the
summer of 1887, she resorted to the same remedy
and continued it until she had taken the contents
of three boxes. Since that time she has been we'll
and can, without inconvenience, eat any thing that
she fancies.
From this case, and from the benefit to my own
health, derived from the Of single box, am
prepared to believe, tina, this medicine is Justly
titled to all the credit claimed for it by its warmes
advocates. Yours, very respectfully,
VIM. WATKINS.
