spective view over the past twenty years, how is
the mind struck with wonder What rapid strides
has science made in every department of civilized
life particularly in that which relates to the
knowledge of the human system in health and dis.
ease. How valuable and indispensable the Gu

and our admiration glow at the ingenuity, the near
approach to the standard of perfection of the present

Messrs Sands: Gent.-W ords cannot press the
gratitude feel for your treatment % me, stranger
suffering under of the most loathsone diseases
that nature is capable of bearing. The disease
with which was afflicted commenced with iniam-
nation of the eyes, in the year 1886, which caused
almost total blindness. For this was treated and
finally relieved, but the remedies such to
cause the developement of scrofulous affection
my left near the elbow.
1.-The pain extended from the shoulder to the
end of my fingers, and for two years my sufferings
were beyond description. tried various remedies
and consulted different Physicians in New York,
and amongst them the late Dr. Bushe, who told me
the disease of the caused by the large
quantity of mercury taken to cure the Inflammation
of my eyes.
MY suferings continued, the enlarged, tu-
nors formed in different places, and in few months
discharged making ten running ulcers at one time
some above and some below the elbow, and the dis
charge was offensive that person could bear TO
be in the room where was.-l then applied to an
other distinguished Physician who told me amputa

nv life as it was impossible to dreadful
disease but as was unwilling to consent to IT he
recommended me TO use SWANS Panacea treely
which / did without deriving but little benefit

nv head or comb my hair, and the scrotula now
made its appearance my head destroying the
bone in different places, causing extensive ulcera-
tons, and feard it might reach and destroy the
bran-the head swelled very much, accompanied
with violent pain, numerous external remedies
were recommended, but they did no good About
a wear since was taken severely i'll with a swelling
of the body from head to foot, that was entirely
helpless the Doctor advised TO go TO the hospital,
for he did not understand my case for the last
few months had been afflicted with severe pain
on both sides, at times so hard could scarcely get
breath A hacking cough constantly annoyed Inc,
and this combined with my other maladies, rendered
me truly miserable. Such, gentlemen, had been
my situation for seven years OF my LIE when
commenced the of your Sarsaparilla, but as my
case was considered hopeless, and the near prospect
of speedy dissolution seemed inevitable, felt but
little encouragement to persevere. The persuasion
of friends induced me to try your medicine, which
in few days produced great change in my sys-
tenn generally by causing appetite, relieving the
pains and giving me strength; as success inspires
confidence, | was encouraged TO persevefe, my
pains grew easier, my strength returned, food rel.
ished the ulcers healed, new flesh formed, and
