We have been informed by Mrs. Mahan, "a grand
daughter of old Gen. Wayne that she suffered for
Der of years from the growth of large Goitrous Tumor
which besides great deformy, produced both difficulty
of deglutton, and of breathing Indeed she says the
pressure upon the windppe great to prevent
her from sleeping in a rccumbent position and often
suocaton appeared inevitable She also aboured under
insposition from Liver Complaint and Jaundice,
with horrible train of affections for which
she used Dr. Jaynes Alternative, which she took regularly
for six weeks with occasional doses of his Sana
tive Pills. and her general health thereby completely
re-established, and perceiving diminuton in
the size of the Goitrous Tumor she encouraged
pcrsevcre the of the Alternative until every vesge
of the painful Tumor entirely removed .f-r-1.ie
We cannot speak too highly of this important epara
