VAN BtREN, Ark, April Is, 1913.
DE-. BRAoc-- Dear Sir: During the past
summer and fall, the various forms of bill.
iouS Fever were very prevalent and often
fatal In this section Of country. Our wor-
thy none-such physicians, pulled up with
pride and vain conceit, persisted in their
antiquated practice with that universal
panacea, calomel, with such unbounded
success, that one or two, panic struck,
scampered off and left their patients with
nature and her Intellectual efforts to repair
the mischief they had doue. In one fam.
lily, four cases resulted in death, in the
short space of four days in some cases
three or four days after the exhibition of
calomel. great prostroton, tympanitic Con-
dition of the abdomen, and perforation of
the bowels were the result or this heroic
treatment, and to prove it so to their Weep
ing friends, post mortem examination
would reveal the fact. After finding their
practice altogether Intellectual, they came
| to the wise conclusion to give no medicine
| at all, but continue to visit their patients,
and order fax>eed tea as drink, and a
poultice Of the same applied to the bowels :;
when this failed, with sage look, and little
faith, Il hearts full Of apprehension, they
would confess to their friends their full con.
! fdence in the application of blisters from
head to foot--you may guess the result.
! In this dilemma and universal consterna-
ton. one of your ira Yelling agents passed
through our neighborhood, and made lib
eraldeposites of your vegetable medicines, :,
and distributed pamphlets, and the s'Sun,"
To shed genial and benignart light upon
this benighted, and apparently devo.
I ted land. The mama sent to the Chill
dren of Israel, in the wilderness, was not
hailed with more hearty thanks than were
your health-rcstoring Pills in this awful
crisis. The people were prepared to re-
ceive them, or any thing that promis ed
them relief from their apparently irnpend.
! ''S ''''' h"Nc NdtCHcU tuelT pTuKrtSS,
and the effects they produced in hundreds
of cases and am happy to give my feeble
testimony to their entire and triumphant
efficacy, in restoring health in n ft days
IN erery instance, when they have been
| taken in time, and in strict accordance to
directions. Some Of our physicians,
whose love of truth and philanthropy tri-
umphed over preiudices and preconceived
theories, have cheerfully abandoned their
calomel and lancet, aud recommended
your pills in all cases of bilious intermit
tent, remittent, congeStive and typhus fe-
vers; and they freely acknowledge that
they are almost a specific in all these dis
eases. Your travelling age mt is anxious
ly looked for again, as many of your a.
gents are out of pills, and the sickly sea
son is approaching.
With best wishes for your success,
am truly yours.
