Certificate of the Efficacy of
DR.. WOOdWOrth's Syrup.

nR. NJ. WOODWORTH-Sir: This is to
~ certify that my wife has been afflicted
with the Scrofula from a child, and for the
last ten years she has suffered beyond de-
scription. 1t made its appearance on the
upper part Of the mouth, and also on the
under jaw; it had become such an eating
sore, that small pieces of bone have come
ont. 1t was attended with the most eXcru-
ciating pains. In this manner she has suf-
fered without finding any relief. She was
attended by some of our best physicians, but
all to no purpose; they had all given her up.
At last she was induced to try DR.. Towns
ends Syrup, of which she took twenty bot
ties, but it did her no good. Seeing your
advertisement, she was induced 10y friend
to try your Syrup. sent to your agent in
Hartford, and procured bottle TO her, and
as astonishing as it may seem, before she
had finished taking that bottle, she was re-
lieved of those excruciating pains, and her
mouth is gradually healing. She has taken
four bottles, and she is now able to be
around and attend to her household duties
and we would hereby recommend this to
others in like manner afflicted, as being one
of the medicines ever offered to the public !;
and we feel duly grateful that we could OBJ
tain anything to procure relief.
Yours, respectfully,
JOHN EMMoNs,

bic health after having been given up as past
cure by all her acquaintances, and that the
statement given above by herself and hus
band, may be relied on as strictly true.

The above may be relied upon as correct,

1t is shown that Aroostook has a delegate
for every 10 voters and for every 32l inhabi-
tants, while York requires eighty-threc demo-
cratic voters, and nine hundred and sirtv-nine
inhabitants. Kennebec requires 1888 inhabi-

equal to fire nearly in Kennebec.
