known as certain cure, - that in every town and
city not only on the Continent, but in Great Britain
the demand for it so great its merits so as

Medical Faculty of the principle cities of Europe were
compelled to acknowledge its wonderful mastery over

saw, tried and were convinced Of its magical vIr-
tues. The massive fortune acquired by Dr. PARElRA
from the sale of it dnring six years he prepared it,
alone bore witness to its miraculous merifs.-
At the decease Of the Doctor, the recipe was be-
queathed to his son, who has lately introduced the
remedy inte the United States. The number OF
cures it has already made astonishing. Thous-
anGs and tens of thousands bear testimony to its
efficacy.

DEAR SIR,-In this district your Pills command a
cine before the public. As proof of their efficacy
in Liver and Bilious Complaints, may mention the
following case. A lady of this town with whom am
personally acquainted, for years severe sufferer
from disease of the Liver and digestive organs her
medical attendant assured her that he could do moth
ne to relieve her sutferings and it not likely
could survive many months. This announcement
naturally caused great alarm among her friends and
relations, and they induced her to make a trial of
your Pills. which improved her general 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 declares that your Pills have been the means
saving her life.
