Dear Sir:--ln this District your pills COM
mand more extensive sale than any other
proprietary medicine before the public. As
proof OF their efficacy in Liver and Bilious
Complaints, l may mention the following
case a lady Of this town, with whom |
am personally acquainted, for years was
severe sufferer from disease of the Liver and
digestive organs her medic! attendant as
surcd her that he could do nothing to relieve
her suffcrings, and IL was not likely she
could survive many months This an
nouncement naturally caused great alarm
among her friends and relations, aud they
induced her to make trial Of your Pills,
which so improved her gcReral health that
she was induced to continue them until she
received perfect cure. This is twelve
months ago, and she has not experienced
any symptoms of relapse, and often de.
elares that your Pills have been the means
Of saving her life.
