DEAR SIR:-l very cheerfuy 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 use of which,
her health so far restored that she deemed the
further use of it at that time unnecessary. On a
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.

TO your Pills am firmly persuaded that they de-
far praise than you inclined to give
them. Six months ago they were scarcely known
here, and yet at present there is other medicine
that can compare with them in popularity. In dys-
pepsia, sick headache, arrangement Of the hillary
organs and obstinate constipation Of tho bowels,
know OF no aperient more prompt and eficacinos
and have had considerable experience in lthese
complaints.
| would add, that their mildness and certainty of
action render them safe and efficient purgatiye
for weakly individuals and that they may be given
at all times without apprehension Of any of those
injurious consequences which So frequently attend
the application Of calome' or blue pill. On the
whole, l consider your Vegetable Pills an invalua-
bic discovery.
