Dear Sri feel it due to you as the inventor
of the medicine and to the public, Who may be
greatly benefited by it, to state cure that was
performed in my family, by the use of your Gar
minatve Basain."
Ny little son, when about two months old, was
seized with a JO'cei complaint caused, as | sup
pose, by change of diet. Ii continued for two
weeks without inermission, and notwithstanding
the remedies prescribed by arespectabe ply stefan,
we gave up the child victim, as we supposed, to
a fatal disease, but | providenhally heard of
"Jaynes Carminative,' as an eiiectual cure for
bowel complaint, and Immediately despatched u
messenger to a town seventeen miles off for a bot
tie. BY the use of this medicine, in less than
thirty six hours the disease was checked; and by
its continued use for few days the child was
restored to perfect health. Shortly after this,
there occurred a similar case in one of the iami-
lies of my congregation; | prescribed 'Jayne S
Carminatiye,' and the result was a speedy cuIc.
From knowledge Of the efficacy of your medi-
cine in bowel complaints, disease to which
children are constantly liable, | have obtained and
keep constantly in the house, quantity of the
"Carminntive."
The same child, owing to exposure, when rec
emily coming up the Ohio was attacked by the
horrible malady. GROUP. We landed in the
night at Beaver Point, and when our fears were
alarmed lest the hoarse sepulchral cough was the
forcrunner of death, gave him teaspoon full
of the "Erpectoranf," "a bottle of which you pre-
scented me with when in PHILADELPHIA and applied
some lineamcnt to the throat and breast, and be-
fore many minutes the hoarseness was gone the
child breathcd freely and slept sweetly. Owing
to these circumstances it cannot be wondered at
why | have so high opinion of DR.. Jayne's
medicine, and why advise every family to keep
il on hand ready for any emergency.

Penn LINE, Pa, April I.
Messrs. Harris & Co.--Sirs: Since | was at
your store in July last, have used L. Deans
Chemical Plaster, which have received from
you at different times, and feel myself in duty
bound to you as proprietors, and to the public
generally, to recommend the same as safe and
eficacious remedy for those complaints for which
ii is recommended. Ihayc used it in several cases
of iniamed eyes, in some of which its effects as a
curative have been decided, and in no case has it
failed of giving relief where it has been applied
according to directions, and all who have used it
ARE perfectly satisfied with it SO far as | know.
have also applied it in some severe cases ofague
in the breast with the happcst effects.
! would also relate the case of Mr. Thomas
Logan, who has been afflicted with the rheuma-
tism in one hip for thirteen years, so that he had
been compelled to abandon labor in a great mea-
sure. let him have box of the Plaster, he
applied it, and for three days found as he sup
posed, no benefit but after that he perceived that
the pain was not so severe, and in less than two
weeks he could labor hard all day and rest free
from pain at night. lie says he would not part
with the box he has for three hundred dollars,
providing he could not obtain another. He also
says to me, keep it on hand and recommend it
wherever you go.
have used the Plaster in cases of pains in the
side, back, shoulders &c. with like good effect.
