INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS IN THE
CITY OF FMEXICO.-GREATS SUCCESS
AMONG THE VOLUNTEERS!---LETTER
FROM A HIGH SHERIFF OF SOUTH CAR
OLINA.
Extract of letter from the editor Of the Green
vile Mountaineer, ,. c.
DR. w. WRIGHT-Dear Sir:- a
week or two ago sept you MouNTAINEET,
containing letter from one Of our Volunteers ~
the CITY Of Mexico, in which he pays WRlGHT'S
INDIAN VEGETABLE PILLS, under the cir
cumstances, the highest need of praise have ever
known medicine to receive. The Volunteer,
William w. Goodlett. Esq, is gentleman OF iine
standing--an accomplished and well educated man.
HIGH SHERIFF
of this District. BY one of your advertisements
in a Charleston paper, happened to notice the
location of your office, and thought you might ex-
tract an article Of some value IN regard to your
medicine, therefore.l sent the paper.
Tide following isan extract from the letter re.
ferred to above:
'.My health is very fast improving procured
few days ago, some Of DR.. Wright's Indian Veg
etabe Pills, and they have acted on my system
LIKE MAGICw
Thus it appears that the brave and patriotic
Volunteers who have gone to Mexico, to defend
the rights and honor Of their country, already be.
gin to realize the extraordinary value OF this IN.
comparable medicine. Long life to them!
HORRIBLE MISTAKES!!
Are sometimes made by confounding one medi'
cine with another, and administering the wrong
article Equally horI be are those mistakes which
are made in supppsing that all Pills are alike, and
that therefore it is indifferent which are taken
and if one kind is bad all are bad together This
is a very great mistake. There is as much differ
ence between Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills and
other articles. as between midnight and monday
We do not wish any one to take our word merely
for this statement Let any one, having taker
other MEDICINE, try this. Nothing more will be
necessary.
Many persons have been lead away by COAT
ING OF SUGAR. as if they anticipated that j
would remove the nausea of the medicine Bu
they are generally mistaken. Without the SUG Al
those articles have nothing to recommend them
and would not be sold single day. But with tn
sugar, and by giving the article name sIMILAI
| to Wright's Indian Vegetable Pills, they gain
temporary notoriety. WOLVES they are, II
sleeps clothing, of whom the public should stee
sufficiently clear.
! Let it be remembered that WRIGHT'S INDI
| AN VEGETABLE PILLS are prepared witt
special reference to the laws governing the huma
body. Consequently. they are always good, al
ways useful always effective in roofing out dlseas
es. Every family should keep them on hand
