Certificate of the Efficacy of
Dr. NyOOhwOrth'S Syrup.

nR. Nj. WOODWORTIl-Sr This is to
~ certify that my wife has been afflicted
with the Scrofula from u 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
out. 1t was attended with the most excru-
cating pains. in this manner she has suf-
fercd 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 by friend
to try your Syrup. l sent to your agent in
Hartford, and procured bottle for her, and
as astonishing rs 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, rs being one
of the medicines ever offered to the public F.;
and we feel duly grateful that We could OBJ
tain anything to procsre relief.
