Gentlemen: Parental feelings induce us to make
the following statement of facts in relation to the
important ofour little daughter, wholly effected
by the use of Sands's SarsaPara. For nearly three
years she was afflicted with most inveterate erup-
ton on the body, which at times so bad, connect
ed with internal disease, that we despaired of her
life. The complaint commenced in the roots of the
hair, and gradually spread until the whole head was
eveloped and then attacked the ears and down
the neck and continuing to increase until it covered
the most Of the body. 1t commenced with a small
pimple or pustule, from which water at first dis
charged; this produced great itching and burning
then matter or pus formed, the skin cracked and
bled, and the pus discharged freely The suferings
of the child were great as almost wholly to pre-
vent natural rest and the odor from the discharges
offensive, to make it difficult to pay that parc-
ular attention the nature of the required. The
disease was called Scald Head and general Salt
Rheum. We tried various remedies, with little ben.
eft, and considered her almost beyond the reach
of medicine; but from the known virtue of your
Sarsaparilla, we induced to give it trial
Before the first bottle was all used, we perceived
an Improvement in the appearance of the eruption
but the change was rapid for the better that VIC
could scarcely give credence to the evidence Of our
own eyes. We continued its use for a few weeks,
and the result is perfect cure. To parents we
would say-If you have children suffer- ing with any
disease OF the skin, use Sands's Sarsaparia. With
feelings of gratitude and respect, we yours, SC.

BENNINGTON VT,

BENNINGToN, VT. Dec. 5th, l8i3
Dear Sir IL wish to add my testimony to the host
of others that you have in favor OF your valuable pills
In the wear 1885, was attacked with that disagree
able complaint the Dyspepsia which 50 affected me
that could not take particle Of food. without the
most unpleasant and uncomfortable sensations IN my
chest, head and bowels. My chest was so sore that
could not bear the slightest pressure without giving
me pain. My health was most miserable; many
physicians told they thought was in the consump-
tion and that if did not give up my business, and
change climate, Icould live but short time.
/ tried every thing in the shape of medicine, and
consulted the most skiful physicians, but found no
permanent relief. became discouraged, gloomy,
sad and sick of life; and probably, ere this should
have been in my grave, had not fell in with your
precious medicine. A friend of mine, who had been
sick of the same complaint, advised me to try your
pills but having tried most other medicines without
obtaining any relief had but little faith that your pills
would be Of benefit to but, at his earnest solicit
tation, | procured a box and commenced taking
them. H Eas @ .a
The:frst box produced,little or effect and be-
gan to despond for fear that your medicine would
prove like others have taken but my friends argued
that one not fair trial, and purchased sec
ond, and before had taken the whole box began to
experience change! the pain in my chest began to be
less painful and my food did not distress me much
as formerly. went on taking them until | had taken
six boxes, and my Dyspepsia was CONE and my eN
pectation of early death vanished, and felt like
"new creature" / was then, and am now q
healthy man. have never since been troubled witt
the Dyspepsia. have administered your pills to the
members ofmy family, and to my friends, and in all
cases with good success. You publish this il il

able to turn myself in bed and my sufferngs during
the whole winter were more than can tell. With
the advice of my friends, called two of the most
eminent physicians Of the place, who recommended
your preparation Of Sarsaparia, knowing OF nothing
that would be as likely to help me; which advice |
readily received, and before had taken one bottle,
found change in my feelings which induced me to
take more, and when had taken the third bottle |
was like another person both in health and strength.
