Norfolk, Sept 30, 1888
Dear Sir,-I very cheerfully add my testimony
with regard to the efficacy Of DR.. Peters medi-
cine. My wife had been for several years suffering
and lingering under the effects of Dyspepsia, with
its usual accompaniment, in December, 1885, |
purchased of you one box from the use Of which
her health was so far restored, that she deemedthe
fulther 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 il until she had taken the contents
OF three boxes. Since that time she has been well;
and can without Inconvenience, eat any thing she
fances.
From this case, and from the benefit to my own
health, derived from the use of single box | am
prepared to believe that this medicine is justly en-
tied to all the credit claimed for it by its wamest
advocates. Yours very respectfully,
WILLIAM WATKINS.
