an interest in an imitation sugar.coacd pill, manu-

parties concerned in manufacturing them. The
same party are now industrously circulating reports
calculated TO injure DIR. Smith, and to uec the rep

them in public, Dr. Smith is about to institute legal
proceedings against them for their ISLANDERS, as he
has in another case against similar party, in which
he recovered large amount of damages. These
miserable mators have to resort 10 the most abom-

Dr. G. BENZ SMITH:

DEAR SIR: / was laid up with a bad cold some
time since my return from New York; and during
my illness made trial of your pills, and must say
1 found them excellent. They are the best medi-
cine for the purposes they intended that have
vet seen. seldom take pills; but found yours en-
tirey free from the objections to which other pills
are liable. hope they will continue to be source
of profit to you, as doubt not they will be means
of relief to the afflicted on large scale.
