NEw YoRx, September IA, 1912,
Messrs Sands-Gent: In the cholera summer Of
the year 1882, disease first made its appearance
on the end of my tongue, which continued to spread
gradually for three years, during which time was
under the treatment of different physicians with
out receiving any essential benefit, | was saliva,-
ed until the flesh dropped from my gums. NV
tongue scari6ed, frequently cauterized, slit
lengthwise and cut crosswise, until was told that
the only cure would be to cut my tongue off at the
root; but as it seemed uncertain whether this
world put stop to the ravages Of such disease,
preferred to risk my life rather than submit, TO
the operation.
A scrotuous affection now commenced on my
right cheek little below the eve, and continuing
inward soon attacked the bone, forming matter in.
ternaily, which discharged in the mouth through
an opening caused BY the extraction Of a tooth.
The disease then seized upon the roofof the mouth
just under the opening from the nose, and de-
stroying the bone, continued its progress upward
and backward into the bones Of the nose, which IL
destroyed together with the carriages. A gather
ing then took place in my head, which discharged
thick fetid matter from my nose, which resem-
bled soft bones or shells, as itcame out in strings
a. large and rouuo goose quill. Pieces of bone
also dropped from my head into the mouth through
the passage made by ihe disease in the upper jaw.
The complaint now spread over The nose and envel-
oped both eyes, destroying both eye-lsshes and
stopping the opening iiom the eyes to the nose,
which caused almost continual flow Of tears. AT
This time my smell and taste were both gone, my
bearing nearly so, and my sight so much impaired
as to render it impossible for me to distinguish an
object at the distsnce Of two feet. NV memory
also was msch affected that could NOT retain
any thing heard said for Ave minutes; and my
condition, il not wholly, nearly that of idiociiy.
The disesse occasionally appeared to be better,
and then looked toward death as the termination
Of nv sufierings.
Hearing through the newspapers the remarkable
cures of your Sarsaparila, hope sprung up afresh,
although my case was considered beyond the reach
Of art, resolved to make more effort to re-
gain my health. At this period my mesns were ex
hausted in trying various medicines, and dying, as
WINS. by inches, it can be readily supposed with
what feeling looked toward relief. Il is now just
six weeks since crossed the threshold OF your door,
and was then an object from which the eye turned
with pity and the senses with disgust. Twas then
man who was broken down with suffering and dis
ease, whose cup Of misery more than full
looked upon the world dead to mel the past and
future we're both alike but while memory proves
true to her trust and sits enthroned so long
will cherish with heartfelt gratitude the benefit
have received (under the blessing of Divine Provi
dence) from the use Of your Sarsaparilla. In two
weeks from the time began using the medicine,
the internal ulcers began to heal and new flesh to
form. This has continued until ! am entirely cured
and wholly so, from the use Of medicine. My feel

realize that am the suffering object Of pity was

MEssRs. A. B. SANDS & Co., SIRs: Most
gratefully do embrace this opportunity for stat

your Sarsapara. | shall also be happy, through
you, to publish TO all who afflicted, as lately
was, the account OF my Unexpected. and even for
long while despaired of cure. Mine is a painful
story and trying and sickening is the narrative
OF 1t. for the sake of many who may be 80 sure y
relieved, will briefly yet accurately state it.
Nineteen years ago last April fit of sickness left
me with an Erysipelss eruption. Dropsicai collec

face OF my body causing such an enlargement that
it was necessary to add half yard 10 the size oil

my limbs, ulcers, painful beyond descriptions. Foi

me no rest, by day by night. Upon lying dow in
these pains would shoot through my system, and
