.Messrs. Sunds-Gent. About eight years since, by
being oyerheated and directly after exposed, | was sci
zed with Il severe cold, which deranged the whole sys-
TEN. Purple or livid spots appeared on the skin, at
tended with violent pain ofthe head the symptoms be-
ing alarming, 4 physician was called who prescribed
clustering and leecling, which produced partial re-
lief. Hard bouy Jumps formed under the skin
on various parts of the body, and the Doctor
pronounced my complaint hereditary Scroiula now for
the first time developed. The following winter my
sight failed in both eyes, medical aid was again resort
ed to, which relieved my sight during the summer, my
nose now began to increase IN SIZE and the whole body
rapidly enlarged with a dropsical swelling. The nose
even grew very sore and discharged most profuscly the
most loathsome substance. My whole system was in
volved in disease, the Jumps sofened and discharged
freely, producing great debility; ulcers now broke out
on the legs, and to complete my misery, the muscles
and sineWs contracted so that | was rendered helpless.
/ remained with little change in this condition until last
October, when | was suddenly seized with an indcscri-
bable sensation which rendered me nearly unconscious,
and my friends supposed it was the will of kind Proyi-
dencc to rid me of my suliefings, but from this | recov-
cred onlylo suffer on; the ulcers had become one con-
tinuous sore entirely raw.
1t was in this condition | commenced the use of your
invaluable SaTsaparilla, which | was induced to use
from the many remarkable cures | saw published
1t came to me as some guardian angel and can scarce
ly tell why, yet from the moment | heard it mentioned
l was impressed fully with the belefthat this was to be
the Good Samaritan for me-and truly it has wrought
wonders in my case. After using it few days my
pains grew easier, the swelling of the body and the
limbs went down, the ulcers commenced healing, and |
rested well. After suffering every thing but the pains
ofdeath, how happy am | and how grateful do | feel to
be able to add another testimonial to the efficacy of
your priceless Sarsaparilla!
My health is restored. and ! have walked four miles
without Inconvenience. | superintend my family aG-
fairs, and in fact feel almost like being in a new world.
| am induced to make this public acknowledgment
from a deep sense of duty to you as a means in the
hands of God of restoring a fellow mortal from a pre-
mature grave. Language is inadequate to express my
feelings. May the Lord be with you, and make his
face to shine upon you, is the sincere desire of your
much obliged and deeply indebted friend. To the az
ficted | would say, Do not despair; for however des-
perate your case may be, you surely have an antidote
er, however great their professions,
