Messrs Sands-Grn: In the cholera summer OF
the year 1872, disease first made its appear ance
on the end of ms tongue, which continued to spread
gradually for three years, during which time was
under the treatment Of different physicians with
out receiving any essential bsnehr. | was salivat-
cd until the flesh dropped from my gums. My
tongue was scarihsd, ireqgenlly cauterized, slit
lengthwise and cut cfoss~ise, until was Told that
the only cure would be TO my tongue of at the
ROOT; but as il seemed uncertain whether this
would put stop to the ravages of such disease,
preferred 10 risk my life rather than submit 10
the operation.
A scroiulous affection commenced on my
right cheek n little below the eve, and continuing
inward soon attacked the b,ne, forming matter in
ternally, which discharged in the mouth through
an opening used by the extraction OF tooth.
The disease then seized upon the roof ot the mouth
Just under the opening from the nose, and soon de
stroying the bone, continued its progress upward
and backward into the bones Of the nose, which u
destroyed together with the carriages gather
ing then took place in my head, which discharged
a thick fetid matter from my nose, which resem-
bled soft bones shells, itcame out IN strings
as large and rouno as a goose quill. Pieces OF bone
also dropped from my head inio The mouth through
the passage male by the disease IN the upper jaw,
The complaint now spread over the nose and envel-
oped both eyes, destroying both eye-iashes ana
stopping the opening from the eyes to the nose,
which caused almost a continual ha~ ut tears. Al
:his time my smell and tasie were both gone, my
hearing nearly so, and my sight so much impaired
to render it impossible for TO distinguish an
object at the distance Of two feet. MY memory
also mach affected that | could not retain
any thing heard said for FIVE minutes and my
condition, il not wholly, nearly that ofidiocity.
The disease occasionally appeared to be better,
and then looked toward death the termination
Of my sutferings.
Hearing through the newspapers the remarkable
cures Of your Sarsaparilla, hope sprung up afresh
although my case considered beyond the reach
of art. II resolved 10 make one more effort to re-
gain nv health. At this period my means were ex.
hausted In trying various medicines, and dying, as
was by inches, it can be readily supposed with
what feeling looked toward relief. l, is now jus,
six weeks since crossed the threshold your door
and was then an object from which the eye turned
with pity and the senses with disgust was ther
a man who was broken down with suffering and dis
case, whose cup Of misery wss more than full.
looked upon the world as dead to me; the past ana
future were both alike but while memory prove
true to her trust and reason ats enthroned, so ion
will cherish with heartfelt gratitude the beneht
have received (under the blessing of Divine frovi
denee) from the use Of yo'u Sar'sparlla 10 t"'
