the real value OF the Ligcr Pills and influenced by
plain dictates of Duty the Doctor finally sacrificed his
delicate feelings the altar OF public good. His great
medicine has not disappointed the expectations of
medical practitioners at whose instance he induced

hear fhe most gratifying accounts of its wonderful
curative efCCs-;he East and the VS. the North and
the South alike laden with tidings great Joy"
