Doctor J. p Peters. Dear Sr,--l have obtain.
ed, and forward to you, the certhcate OF Mr..
William Watkins gentleman of high respecta
bity-relative the good and salutary effects pro-
duced By the use of your medicine, which hope
will be OF some use to you. Your most obed't
.erv't, ARTHUR SMITH.
Norfolk Sept 90, 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 Accomplishments, in December, 1888,
purchased Of you one box, from the use OF which
her health was far restored tina, she deemedt the
further use Of it at that time unnecessary. On
return of some symptoms OF the disease during the
summer of 1887, she resorisd TO the same remedy
and continued il until she had taken the contents
of three boxes. Since that time she has been WE'LL
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-
tired to all the credit claimed for by ts walmesi
advocates. Yours very respectfully,
WILLIAM WATKINS.
